“Tori was available for a last minute Holiday check in for my 2 kitties. She took excellent care of my little monsters. I’d be happy to have her again for another check in if we have to leave town again.”

“My senior cat had the pleasure of meeting Thi over four days. During each visit, she provided many pics and a detailed report of my pet. The photos showed a happy cat and it was evident that she spent time with him. I consider Thi reliable, consistent, and on schedule. Another satisfied customer!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my patience, caring personality, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I want to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I’m also willing to follow specific feeding routines and care instructions to keep pets comfortable in their own environment. I’m especially interested in learning more about puppy care and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. My goal is to give every pet the same kindness, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m happy to make time in my daily and weekly routine to provide pets with the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I understand the importance of being reliable, following each pet’s individual routine, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for walks, providing playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I want every pet to feel loved and cared for. I’m committed to communicating with owners, following their instructions, and making sure their pets’ needs come first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines and the owner’s instructions so their pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I provide fresh food and water, playtime, walks when needed, companionship, and a clean space. I also make sure to give each pet attention based on their personality and individual needs. I understand how important it is to treat someone’s home and pets with respect, care, and responsibility. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that animals just seem to love me, and I know how to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for a senior dog, so I’m experienced with giving medication and making sure pets get the extra care they need. Taking care of pets fits right into my daily routine because I’m almost always available to care for your fluffy buddies. I’m usually free and flexible especially with having school and work outside of Rover, so your pets will always get the attention they deserve! When I care for pets in my client’s home, they get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get outside for potty breaks after meals. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and cared for just like they would be with you.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Family friends and neighbors would always trust me to feed walk and bathe their dogs whenever they were away. I’m currently working part- time which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am typically always free in the mornings and afternoon while some days I am free all day. Schedule can always be discussed. I am open to provide any care your fur baby might need while you are away and cannot provide that care. That may include walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with them.

About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life and find joy in ensuring they live their best lives. I haven’t found one that I don’t like or doesn’t like me! In my home or under my care I promise your pet will receive the best treatment. I’m currently working part time therefore I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as they need! I am open to boarding over the weekends and I’m flexible in my schedule! I live in an apartment complex that has a wonderful dog park on site! I do not have animals in my home, so if your pet does not do well with other animals or needs more one-on-one attention then I’m your girl!

About: I have over 2 years of hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician in a busy veterinary hospital. I work with dogs and cats of all different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities every day. My experience includes caring for senior pets, puppies and kittens, nervous or anxious pets, and animals that may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health, assisting with post-operative care, and recognizing when something doesn’t seem right. Through my work, I’ve gained extensive experience with safe animal handling, feeding, walking, basic grooming needs, and keeping pets comfortable in unfamiliar or stressful situations. I’m also currently continuing my education in veterinary technology. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while treating every pet as an individual. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I’m available for morning visits before 7 AM and evening visits around 7 PM. Wednesdays are completely open, so I’m available throughout the day. My Saturday schedule alternates every other week. On working Saturdays, I’m available before 7 AM and anytime after noon. On my Saturdays off, I have open availability. I’m also off every Sunday and available throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find visit times that fit your pet’s normal routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With over two years of hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs. I understand animal body language and always take a calm, patient approach, especially with nervous or shy pets. I’m experienced with safe handling, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health that may need attention. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home and caring for a member of your family. I will always respect your home, follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions closely, and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I take care of other people’s pets like I would want someone to take care of my two fur babies! I’ve worked with cats, dogs, lizards, and exotic birds. I was a keeper at a wildlife ranch and have also worked at a pet resort so I have experience with a little bit of everything, and there’s nothing that can surprise me! I’m currently unemployed but applying for jobs, I love animals and have a passion for working with them so I will make time for the clients that need help. I have experience crating/kenneling cats and dogs and have worked with a diverse range of breeds as well so I understand needs look differently for every animal.

About: I grew up helping take care of the family pets; we had cats, dogs, fish, & rabbits! I’ve always loved taking care of pets and will never say no to an opportunity to meet new ones :) I have experience taking care of: cats, dogs, fish, turtles, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, & hamsters. I have experience medicating, feeding, and basic grooming. I routinely check for potential hazards and remove them from the environment. I’m currently unemployed due to the turbulent job market, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets. When I’m not home taking care of my own animals, I’m out looking for work or a new place to volunteer. I’m always making sure there’s no choking hazards on my pets toys & making sure their water & food are always topped off. They always get extra love & brushing at the end of the day. (And maybe a couple extra treats if they’ve been good)

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I grew up with them and I have been taking care of family’s pets for as long as I can remember. I love pets and believe that they should be treated like family. I am currently working full- time and would be taking care of the pets before and after work and can be available on weekends if need be. I have a yard but do not have a fence so any walks would need to be on a leash for the safety of the pet.

About: I've cared for different breeds for 10 years, including my own huskies. I'm comfortable with medication, senior pets, puppies, anxious animals, and I follow each owner's routine for feeding, walks, and meds exactly. I send photo updates every day, and I check the home and yard for hazards when I arrive. Pets get patience and attention, not just a quick visit. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I'm flexible on days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and I can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I'm home most of the day and able to schedule visits around my day, so I can offer midday check-ins, longer visits, or overnight stays. Tell me what your pet's routine looks like, and I'll build my schedule around it. Safety comes first. When I arrive, I check the home and yard for hazards like open gates, loose cords, toxic plants, and anything a pet could swallow. I follow your feeding, medication, and walk instructions exactly, keep pets on a leash outside unless you tell me otherwise, and make sure doors and gates are secured when I leave. I send photo updates during every visit, and if anything seems off, I contact you right away and follow your vet's instructions. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first so your pet and I can get comfortable, and so you can show me where everything is.

About: After a box of puppies left outside my house 15 years ago, I decided I wanted to change my career from accounting to the caring of animals. I started very small volunteering in a couple Humane Societies and followed it with my education and work to become an Elite Certified Fear Free Technician. My dedication and love for animals with an approach with the least fear, anxiety and stress is what I feel makes me succeed doing what I love. As a veterinary technician, I also offer administration of any kind of medications and treatments your pet's veterinarian prescribed. I can help you with large animals too. I an owner of 2 miniature donkeys I know how hard is to find someone to feed them. I do rodents and birds. Please, just let me know how I can help you. I am a Veterinary technician and I combine relieving nurses at different clinics, independent veterinarians, house call nurse services, boarding, grooming and pet sitting. I manage my schedule depending on my patients and clients need. Safety is my number one priority. I make sure your pets have safe boardings and walks. When board at my house, they get to be like one of my own. They can be in my couch, play with my dog Kraft and sleep with one of us in the house (if allowed by owners). When I pet sit them at their home, I try to make them feels that they are not alone, playing, socializing and giving them lots of love and patience.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Santa Fe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Santa Fe is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $32 per visit. 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 272 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Santa Fe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

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

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.

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.
