About: I've owned and taken care of dogs my whole life. I house-sit and pet-sit for several family friends and relatives. I'm experienced with all kinds of animals. I've owned a very wide array of animals throughout my life, all the way from farm animals to reptiles, fish, rodents and everything in-between. My favorite animal is dogs of all kinds, but I can take care of other animals. I can do all kinds of medications and any special cares needs that your baby might need. I work from home and make my own schedule so I'm always available to host animals, house-sit animals, or just stop by for play time and potty time as frequently as needed. I have a fur baby of my own who is just over 3 years old and she loves other dogs. I have a fenced in yard where your fur babies can run and play freely. My baby is crate trained but can also be trusted to be left out. We let our dogs get on the furniture and sleep in the bed with us.
“Another great job by Haley! She’s always reliable, professional, and so good with our doggies. They absolutely love her, and we always feel comfortable knowing they’re in such good hands. We definitely recommend Haley!”
“Bella was super communicative and helpful and made me feel super comfortable with leaving my dogs with her. She treated all 4 of my dogs like her own and spoke so sweetly to them, cleaned up after them, and asked questions and updated me when necessary. I will definitely be reaching out to her again if I need my puppies watched again, love her :)”
About: With five years of veterinary technician experience, a degree in Animal Science, and canine CPR certification, I bring both professional knowledge and a lifelong passion for animals to pet care. I have hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, including administering medications and caring for pets with special needs. Your pets will be in knowledgeable, loving hands! I currently have a flexible work schedule, allowing me plenty of time to care for your pets! I can accommodate weekday and weekend bookings, including drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that best fits your pet’s needs! I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and explore! I also have three friendly dogs of my own. With my veterinary background, I prioritize safety, proper introductions, and each pet’s individual needs. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort and well-being will always come first!
“Lila was fantastic! My cats are normally shy and scared of strangers, but she got them to come and play! She is practically a cat whisperer. Will be rebooking her for my next trip.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 16, and I've trained my own pup from just a few weeks old into a well behaved companion. I often house-sit and watch the animals of friends and family, because they trust me to take good care of their things, and this has given me experience with all different types of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I set my own work schedule and work from home when I want to, so I have plenty of flexibility! I’m also very active, walking or running around 5 miles a day, and love keeping the dogs active too! We have a spacious home with a fenced backyard, shared with our 1-year-old neutered pup, Bo! We can separate dogs if needed, and I love staying active with multiple walks and plenty of playtime throughout the day!
About: I have long term experience with all animals. I have owned horses, cats, and dogs. I promise to provide expectational care for your babies while you are away. You can enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are being treated as if they were my own. My work hours are conducive to making sure your pets are not alone for long periods of time. I am able to make sure all their needs are cared for. I live in a dog friendly community with plenty of room for safe walks and play though I prefer to take care of pets in the comfort of their own home. I have found that most animals respond better to the safety and smells of their own home. I am a trustworthy person with a 100% clean background and can ensure that your pets and home are treated with the utmost respect.
“Katie was marvelous with Princess and Gizmo! She truly understands the boxer breed because she is also a boxer mom. When we got home last night from the Green Day we could tell they had a great time with Katie! In a month and a half we will be going to Orlando, FL for a vacation and Katie will be called upon to care for Princess and Gizmo again ! Thank you Katie for taking such wonderful care of our fur-babies!”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs of various breeds, cats, and even exotic pets like reptiles and birds. My skills include administering both oral and injectable medications, caring for senior pets with mobility challenges, and providing engaging activities to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m also on the app “Wag” if you want a link to see my reviews, ensuring your furry friend is in safe hands. I believe in treating every pet like family, offering personalized care tailored to their needs while keeping owners updated for complete peace of mind. I work remote, so I will have plenty of time to pay attention to your pet, let them outside in a timely manner, take them on walks, and of course cuddle bug time (: When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine to ensure they feel relaxed and secure. At my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with a safe, enclosed space where pets can roam and play. I ensure all pets have access to fresh water, food, and regular bathroom breaks. For cats, I make sure their litter boxes are clean and accessible, while dogs receive regular exercise and attention, including walks or playtime. I also offer special care for pets with medical needs, such as administering medications as required. In a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I make sure to respect the home environment by keeping everything tidy and secure, and I send regular updates and photos to keep owners informed. Whether in my home or theirs, I’m committed to creating a loving, safe, and stress-free experience for the pets I care for.

“We usually have friends help us with the pups, but no one was available for our trip this time around. Chloe was very accommodating and helpful for a last minute booking. She was easy to talk to and updated us after each visit. Thankful for a service like Rover and for people who will love your fur-babies when you are way. Thank you so much, Chloe!”
“Madison exceeded all expectations! Our regular pet sitter had an unexpected emergency right before we left on a two week trip, the longest we’ve ever been away from our two fur babies. Needless to say we were devastated and left scrambling to find a reliable and trustworthy substitution. Madison did a meet and greet beforehand to explain her qualifications, answered any questions we had, and made sure to thoroughly understand the expectations of what we needed done to ensure peace of mind for us. She provided extensive details for us everyday and sent cute pictures of our animals so we could get a glimpse of how they were faring while we were away. She really takes the time to get to know the animals and it is reflected in her outstanding work ethic how much she truly cares. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone needing a sitter. Thank you Madison for providing excellent care for our babies, you made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing there was once less thing to worry about back home!”
“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of my bunny boy! We did a meet and greet a few days prior to my leaving date, and she was very excited and happy to watch my bunny boy! Both of us got along great. Hannah is very good with communicating to me anything about my bunny boy. Loved the pictures she took and the comments she left! Will be booking with Hannah in the future!”
About: My first pet was a cat growing up, and later on I helped take care of my family’s Golden Retriever and got to watch him grow up. I’ve also pet sat through Trusted House Sitters in places like Chicago and Boston, caring for dogs in their own homes. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work remotely as a graphic designer, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I always enjoy getting outside, so spending time walking and caring for pets is the perfect break from my desk. When pet sitting, I always treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll follow your routine closely, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
About: I was raised with multiple pets; from a chihuahua, a boxer, to most recently a husky. House/pet sitting has given me the experience of caring for a variety of dog breeds. Check out my photo gallery of previous clients’ pets and feel free to read what they have to say about me :) During the school year, I’m a full-time teacher. Currently, on summer break so I am not working—your pet(s) will have my fullest attention and I’ll have the capacity to offer a lot flexibility to meet your dog service needs and routines. When house sitting, feel free to leave a detailed list of any of your pets day to day routines so I can ensure they are completed. As a previous Airbnb host myself, i will treat your home as my own.

“Grayson is amazing!!! She took on twice-a-day visits for my asthmatic cat and provided her with so much love and attention, in addition to giving her medications/inhaler and other regular cat needs. She sent me photo updates that helped me know Winky was happy and let me enjoy my vacation without worrying. We will definitely be asking Grayson to sit for us again, she’s the best!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,016 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Santa Fe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Fe. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
