“Michelle was amazing. It was only the second time that we have boarded our dog and he was so well taken care of. Michelle sent photos and updates twice a day and our boy was relaxed and happy. She has a welcoming home for dogs and a lovely back yard for outside time. We would definitely use again and highly recommend.”
“Our fur-baby, Shamrock, immediately felt comfortable with Angelo. When we dropped Shamrock off, we were expecting him to not want to go. However, he was comfortable with Angelo right away. I am a firm believer that dogs know which humans are good ones. Angelo also sent us a daily picture, which we truly appreciated.”
“You know that feeling of being the best thing since rescuing your new family member? Well I don't feel that anymore because Thi and Jace showed me what I could be doing. Thi and Jace did an incredible job and pampered, spoiled, and treated Otto like their own. They took such good care of him with massages, treats, dog parks, snuggles! They are such incredible sitters! I would reccomend them to anyone and everyone! The daily updates with pictures and videos were awesome! I knew the whole time that he was with them that he would be cared for and loved. They gave him a new dog toy and treats to bring home. It doesn't matter what we do now, Thi and Jace will be the first we call when looking for a sitter. And you should too. Do not pass up reaching out to them!”
“My husband was so hesitant and somewhat reluctant about leaving our baby for six days with someone he didn’t know, but Olga reassured him by sending pics and videos which made my husband very relieved and happy! Rocki was excited to see us when we returned and my husband was just fine when he picked him up which was such a sigh of relief! Thank you ladies!!!!”
“Leon was wonderful! He let us bring over our pup to meet him and his wife before we took our trip and ensured us that our dog would have a great stay. We got pictures frequently and updates on how he was doing. The whole experience was fantastic and I would highly recommended Leon for anyone in the area needing a dog sitter.”
“I can not say enough great things about Wendy. This was my first time leaving my Millie with someone or even being away from her for longer then 2 days and Wendy made it so easy for me. I had so much peace knowing she was caring for my dog. She sent me pictures, videos, and updates consistently. It made me feel so good knowing she was in such great hands. Millie loved being with her. She was even sad leaving her. Wendy is the only one I will ever trust my girl with. Millie loved her and so do I. If you need someone who truly cares and loves pets, Wendy is the one to go with. You will love her. She is kind, patient, and so loving. She has such a welcoming home. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Elizabeth was awesome about sending pictures and videos and keeping me in the loop, which gave me peace of mind while away. My girls were all very relaxed when I picked them up so I think they felt comfortable and happy although we had to be apart.”
“The most magnificent couple you will ever meet. Seriously. They are so down to earth, kind, and most of all, animal lovers. They treat your fur babies like their own. The love and kindness my babies had while in their care is beyond words. I can’t express enough how thankful I am. And the photos. Wow! It melted my heart when she sent a photo of one of my dogs smiling. Amazing! And they gifted us with a photo of all three dogs! Love it! You need to put your babies in their care. You can thank me later. To the couple, Johnnie and I wish you love, happiness and joy.”
“Gus had a great time staying with this family. We received regular pictures and updates about Gus’s status and activities. I would recommend this family with your pets. We were extremely pleased with utilizing this process versus a long term boarding.”
“Robin was kind and gentle with our boy Yoda. He loved it there, I could tell by that big smile on his face. Being available during Christmas was a big deal! Thank you Robin for caring for our little man, even letting him snuggle!!”
“Carrie was beyond incredible—truly a lifesaver! She stepped in without hesitation for our last-minute emergency and took phenomenal care of our 2-year-old dog. This was his very first time away from home, and she made him feel safe, loved, and completely comfortable from day one. What meant the world to us was that she kept us updated every single day with pictures and messages, which gave us so much reassurance and peace of mind. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals are unmatched. We knew our pup was not just cared for, but truly cherished. If you’re looking for someone you can trust 100% with your pet, Carrie is the one—no hesitation, no second thoughts. Highly, highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍”
“Erwin and his lovely family took such good care of our dog. They are so sweet to her and she comes back in great shape. We’ve had them dog-sit several times now. When we drive up to their house, our dog gets quite excited to see them. We would recommend them for sure.”
“Mariah and her family took excellent care of Bolt during the week he stayed there. I got several pictures of him enjoying his time there. He was able to run around in the backyard, relax in the house and play with the other dogs there. I will definitely have Mariah take care of Bolt again.”
“Ariel took excellent care of my Bailey, so glad to have made the connection. I appreciated Ariel for sending pictures and updates without asking, definitely made me feel comfortable knowing he was in great hands and will book again!!”
“Great experience for us and pup Alexis and Sean were very friendly, responds to messages promptly. We got pics of Flynn too I highly recommend their care and we’ll go with them again when we’re back in Houston.”
“This was my first time using Tanya's services and I'm absolutely satisfied with the way she cared for my Shih Tzu. She kept me informed throughout the days I was out of town. I received fotos of my baby and she was happy and well care for. I will definitely keep using her and recommend her services. She's definitely someone that will love on your pet as if it was her own.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Santa Fe is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $39 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 953 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Santa Fe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Santa Fe can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Santa Fe home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Santa Fe.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Fe. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
You and your Santa Fe sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
