About: I have 1 to 1½ years of experience working in veterinary and kennel environments, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands when you’re away. I have two dogs of my own, and I would treat your dog with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own pets. I know it can be stressful when you’re traveling, working long hours, or simply need an extra set of hands to help care for your furry family members. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time and will soon be attending school part-time as well. Despite my schedule, I have flexibility throughout the week and am fully available on weekends. I understand that pet owners often need reliable care while working, traveling, or managing busy schedules, and I am committed to providing dependable care when you need an extra helping hand Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment is very important to me. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and care so they can feel secure while their owners are away. To help build trust and ensure the best experience for everyone, I prefer to meet your dog before the first walk or pet-sitting visit. This allows me to get to know their personality, routine, and comfort level, while also helping your pet become familiar with me. Every dog is different, and taking the time to establish trust beforehand helps create a safe and positive environment for both your pet and myself.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was a teenager. From 20 year old chihuahuas, nursing day old kittens, and 80lb king German shepherds.. I’ve volunteered at a few animal shelters. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. My work schedule is 7-4, Monday- Friday and have evenings and weekends free. Over the weekends I am available all day and evening. For week days I can visit your furry baby any time after 4! I have a big fenced in yard and have two loving and playful dogs that enjoy making friends. I have 2 cats that are incredibly friendly but also leave my dogs alone. I have crates available and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are perfect for dog walking.

Elizabeth is wonderful. She took very care of my cat Grayson. He was timid at first but she was able to win him over a little bit. It's obvious by her care that she loves animals, especially cats! She kept me informed of her visits and sent pictures so I knew he was doing great. I will have her take care of Grayson again and I know I won't have to worry about him!

Ashley was so quick to respond and helped me during a desperate time. She came to my house 3 days in a row to take care of my babies. I can’t recommend her enough! She kept me informed, sent great pictures of the babies and made sure they had treats and the tv on. I will certainly use her again

About: I am 27, I’ve had pets since I was a child and have always felt such great connection to them. Pets big and small, I love them all, I currently have 2 dogs of my own who I love to be with, and have become my entire personality trait and I would love share some of my care and love for animals by caring for your pet as well. I make sure to give each fur baby my undivided attention when they are in my care. As someone who loves to travel, I know firsthand the importance in finding someone trustworthy caring for your pets while you are away. I currently work for an Airline so I have a pretty flexible schedule on most days. My schedule with my job does change monthly but overall I am pretty available to afternoons. I have my own home and can provide lots of roam free space for dogs, my yard unfortunately is not fenced in but I will always be outside with the animals and be watching them at all times.

Kayla was absolutely amazing! She did everything to make sure I felt comfortable. This was the first time we leave our babies with someone other than my mother-in-law. Made sure we got pictures and videos of our babies having a good time. Would definitely recommend for anyone worried about leaving their babies with someone else. Can’t wait to book again.

About: For about 6-7 years I have worked in a dog/cat boarding facility as the front desk receptionists and in the back as a kennel tech. My job included feeding, potty walks, playtimes in the yard individually or out in daycare with a multitude of dogs at once. I’m currently a full time student from home. I have a flexible schedule that allows for me to play with your pups as you need! I have two dogs myself, a big one and a small one. They are both dog friendly and can offer extra entertainment and socialization to your pups life.

About: I’ve been raising animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I’ve had experience with a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs, so I understand that each animal has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is open and flexible, so I’m able to provide care whenever you need it, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute requests. I have one dog of my own and a spacious, treated, and securely fenced yard that provides a safe and comfortable environment for your pet to enjoy.

About: I’ve grown up with animals since the day that I was born. I haven’t had less than two dogs in my household ever. From a young age I’ve always been very fond of animals and would take care of my friend’s pets when they went out of town. I am currently working part-time as a server with open availability. My shifts usually run about a maximum of 6 hours. I would like to fit pet sitting into my free time since I usually do have a lot of downtime when I am not serving. I will thoroughly read through instructions and perform them as tasked. When I lived with my mom and helped her take care our furry friends our biggest thing would be finding the perfect pet sitter when we would go out on vacation. It’s a mix of trust as well as taking care of someone’s animal as if they were your own and better!

About: I am a lifelong animal lover based in Alvin/Santa Fe. I have owned many dogs and cats in my life and I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’m dependable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and anything else your pet needs to feel comfortable and safe. I currently offer: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Cat care You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! As a newly certified elementary school teacher, I have summers off and a schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for pets. During the school year, I’m usually home by 4:30 PM and available evenings, weekends, and school holidays. I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own. Me, my husband, and our 2 teenage kids live on a one-acre property with lots of open space. While the yard is not fenced, it’s a great environment for supervised outdoor time. We have a friendly, high-energy dog named Zoey, two indoor cats, and two outdoor cats who join us inside during the winter months.

Rena was great. Tucker my kitty just loved her. She is reliable and attentive to him and followed the instructions I left. When I met Rena, we talked cats and she is definitely a cat lover, Tucker could tell. I highly recommend her to watch over your fur babies. I will definitely call her again when I have to go out of town.

About: My love for all Animals!! Taking care of them is the greatest JOY! Each one is unique, and I enjoy getting to know their personalities. Have been caring for Dogs, and Cats for many years, and have decided to take friends, and families advice, and do it on a full time basis. I have always preferred to care for them in their own home environments, as it is less stressful for them, as well as their Parents, and I reassure them on a daily basis, their Families are coming back.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Santa Fe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Santa Fe on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,041 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Santa Fe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Santa Fe stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.

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

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

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