“Courtney was absolutely incredible! She accommodated our last-minute booking with such grace and professionalism. From the start, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring—which made us feel so comfortable. Most importantly, our pups were so well taken care of and came home happy and relaxed. We’re beyond grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the genuine love she showed our dogs. Highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of hundreds of dogs over the past 2 years, all of different ages and sizes, with different needs. From walking, transporting, playing, supervising playtime, cuddling, cleaning, and assisting those in need, I am capable of doing just about anything you need for your fur baby. (Worked at Greymont kennel services and Chasing Tail Pet Farm, have done pet sitting off of rover, and have owned multiple dogs of different age/size, with different limitations) I have work from 0500-1630 but I’m still available on weekends can still work around those times I just need to be able to make it to work on time!! In your home, your pets comfort and safety are a top priority, as is respecting your space. Your home will always be left as it was found if not better, and your pets won’t be lonely with me around!

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals (guinea pigs, fish) for over 10 years. Growing up there was always an animal around and I loved every second of it. I've given meds, insulin, and shots, so I have a lot of experience with all the parts of animals, not just the fun ones. I have over 10 years of experience helping my mom's Rover account where hundreds of dogs have come through our doors into our home while also pet sitting various friends and colleagues. I am a freelance photographer and videographer, so if I am not out on a shoot or at a meeting, then I am home and able to love on all the pets! I have the flexible schedule of someone who works from home. I want to make sure that the pets environment is as seamless as possible as when you are home. I do my best to follow all instructions so that they are not just comfortable at their home, but feel like you are still here!

About: There has never been a time in my life where I lived pet free. Dogs (all sizes and breeds), cats, horses, ferrets, and large birds. Sometimes all at the same time. Training is a must for these types of situations. I am available to help as needed. We have recently rearranged our lifestyle to spend more time at home for both, our human and pet family. This includes your pet as they are now part of our family. Large fenced in back yard and 7 acres to walk together. Offering indoor play area, kennel free stay, raised dog beds, chairs and doggie couches.

“Took care of our two dogs (young hound and elderly rat terrier) for several days while my family and I were out of town. Kept constant updates which is important as our elderly dog does need sone extra care and attention. On top of caring for our dogs Gina took care of our weekly trash/recycling and daily mail. Sydney (her dog) also got along well with our younger dog and kept each other company by playing all day. I would definitely ask her to watch our dogs again.”

“Lindsey did a great job. I have a senior dog who doesn't always eat as well as I'd like. Lindsey offered suggestions on how to get her to eat better, brought several cans of food over to entice her to eat, and kept me informed on how she was doing everyday. I couldn't have asked for better. I also have a senior cat who takes multiple medications everyday. Lindsey took care of that with no problem. She stayed at my house while we were away, and she left left it spotless. I highly recommend Lindsey and plan to use her again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life but I’ve worked with dogs professionally for about a year now. I work at dog training and boarding facility in a few different roles. I’ve been a trainer, kennel technician, bather, as well as in the office scheduling boarding stays for our pups! I’d love to care for more dogs after work! I’m good at it and I enjoy it so much! I currently work 8am to 4pm. But I have plenty of time to spend with your pup after work! We can go for walks, go to the park or have a bath and get cleaned up! I can come to you home and care for your dog there or I can pick them up, take them out for some fun to get some energy out, and bring them back home safe and sound. I can crate them in my SUV for easy and safe transport.

About: As a proud dog and cat mom, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies! With over 5 years of pet care experience, I’ve developed a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routine. I currently have a dog named Patience and a cat named Salem, so I’m familiar with caring for pets with different personalities and needs. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, cleaning, and providing lots of love and attention, I enjoy making sure animals feel happy, safe, and comfortable. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and commitment to treating every pet like my own. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I prioritize communication, following instructions, and providing updates and pictures for peace of mind. Whether your pet loves outdoor adventures, playing with toys, or simply cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as a dog and cat mom! I work full-time in management, which has helped me develop strong time-management and organizational skills. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals, whether that’s going for walks, enjoying playtime, or simply providing companionship and attention. My availability varies depending on my work schedule, but I plan ahead to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I am happy to coordinate with pet parents to discuss their pets’ routines and determine the best arrangements. I understand the importance of consistency, especially when pets are away from their owners, and I always strive to make their experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care. I believe in creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions when applicable, and any special requests provided by pet parents. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and do my best to keep their pet’s daily routine as consistent as possible. I also believe communication is key! I’m happy to send pictures, videos, and updates throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Every animal is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and boundaries. My goal is to provide the same level of love, patience, and attention that I would want someone to give my own pets!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine care for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally taken care of my own dog for over 10 years (before he moved in with my grandparents), which has given me extensive experience in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve also provided special care for young, energetic dogs as well as older pets who need a bit more patience and attention. On top of that, I’ve regularly helped friends and family with their pets, whether through dog sitting, walking, or assisting with specific care needs. I truly love building trust with every dog I meet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of saving up for law school, so I have the freedom to prioritize pet sitting and can easily adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I love incorporating time with animals into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also take extra steps to keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. I make sure to give plenty of attention and updates to the owners, so they feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of room to play and relax. I make sure their routine is kept as consistent as possible and that they feel like part of the family while staying with me. Whether in my home or theirs, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.

About: Will love and care for your animal as it was my own. Years of pet care experience combined with my own personal experience with pets. High level of attention to details. Will do any and everything to make sure your pet is getting the best experience away from you. I am open and flexible to all times and hours for pet care. There is not a time too early or too late where I can be available. I care with pets with the upmost respect and care. There is not a request or requirement or too specific to ensure the animal is as comfortable as it can be.

“Maryna was fantastic! From the meet and greet, we could tell she's a real dog lover and our dogs, Finn and Cooper, felt comfortable around her right away. She followed all our house rules and instructions perfectly. It was such a relief knowing she was staying with the dogs while we were away. Couldn't be happier with her service and will definitely book her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Santa Fe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Santa Fe is $58 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $65 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 564 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santa Fe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Santa Fe walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Santa Fe maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Santa Fe choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Fe. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
