“This was our 2nd time booking with Sarah! She is fantastic with communication and is great at making sure everyone is taken care of, even when we get a little busy on vacation. I love how she cares for our animals and love the silly photos we always get. Will rebook every time!”
“Kierstan was consistent and patient with my shy cat! She checked in every day, sent pictures to help me connect with the cat even while I was gone, and did the sweep I asked to check for any signs of unwellness or any issues that might not have been obvious otherwise. Thank you Kierstan!!!”

About: I have been house sitting for about the last 15 years. All types of pets , all breeds, all sizes. I have 1 dogs of my own. Have watched 1 dog to families that have 6. I can handle shy dogs , hyper dogs, old dogs , big dogs . I can handle all pets . I prefer to stay at your home . This makes it more comfortable for all animals . I have about 5 families I watch for regularly . These animals all have needs , all have different personalities, feeding schedules and some even have medicine . I love to do this and hope to be able to do this for he next few years . Thank you !! A I currently work full time, but have a very lenient schedule that allows me to come and go all day a night. I'm also a home body and stay home and in doors on the weekends. This makes for an easier watching experience. The care at home all depends on the family and their animals needs. I like to follow their schedules as much as I can compared to how their owners do. I keep their potty breaks and meals around the same times and keep them active throughout my visits so they don't miss their humans to much :)

About: With 21 years of military service, I bring a unique blend of commitment, discipline, and attention to detail to every aspect of my life. I grew up as part of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), where I gained extensive hands-on experience in raising pets. This foundation in animal care has shaped my practical approach to dog and cat husbandry. Currently, I maintain a diverse array of animals, including a black lab that I personally trained for duck hunting, a cat I’ve leash-trained to go on walks, a turtle, and a small-scale quail farm. My experience has taught me the importance of precision and organization, which I apply to managing my pets, ensuring everything is in top shape and that the animals receive the best care possible. I finish my workday in the early afternoon on weekdays, and I prioritize your pet during my free time. Your pet’s care will always be my top focus. I’m also available for early morning visits to accommodate your schedule. I treat our pets like family. Without children of our own, our 'fur babies' are everything to us. I care for every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give to my own pets.

“Jazlynn was absolutely amazing. I opted for the drop-in visits. She stopped by the house twice a day and took care of my 160 Cane Corso. She was punctual and communication was exceptional. Well done ma’am.”
“I couldn’t be happier with Victoria! She was incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and loving. The fur babies absolutely adored her! She was meticulous with every detail, always on time, and communicated consistently, which gave me peace of mind the whole time. I never had to worry because I knew my pets were in great hands and well cared for. I will definitely use her again and recommend her without hesitation!””

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Santa Fe is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $44 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 1,958 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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!
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Santa Fe with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
