“Jacell did exactly what was asked of her and texted me to let me know she would be a little late one day. I will be using her again. She’s awesome!! My lil boi was so happy with her.”
About: I’ve raised animals since I was able to walk! Farm animals, cats dogs, reptiles, birds, you name it! I currently have only one animal so I’m looking for others to spoil! I’m a college student so any time I’m not in class I’m always willing to be with your pet! No matter what day it is! I have cared for teacup chihuahuas all the way to Great Danes and rots! I can handle anything with a smile on my face!! Even the shy ones :)
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.

“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!”
About: I am a well experienced vet nurse now in undergrad with high hopes for med school! I've been a dog trainer all the way up to ICU nurse. I think I can handle most any situation so you can leave your home and your babies comfortably with me! I'm going to school online on a self paced basis so pet care is a perfect fit for me and my schedule. My 86 year old neighbor loves my 1 year old miniature poodle Boseman and loves her little farm so long stays away are okay with the both of us. My poodle Boseman has free range of my place but is also fully kennel trained if need be (used when I worked long hospital hours). He gets walks around our pond or goes next door with my neighbor's 50+ chickens, 2 cats, and 3 dogs. He gets fed twice a day and plenty of treats (super high metabolism lol).
About: I’m a dog mom of two & have dog sat for friends & family. The most dogs I’ve watched was 5 and 1 cat during overnight stays for 3 weeks. I love helping out families with their fur babies. I work weekends & have a lot of time on my hands during the week. I am looking to help families with their fur babies while making some extra money on the side. I will treat your fur babies just how I treat mine - with love , kindness, care and cuddles. Your dogs will be very much taken care of
“Tracy is amazing!! She goes above and beyond on her visits. She’s so sweet and loving to the animals and sent me updates while I was at work on how the visit was going. She followed all instructions perfectly and made sure everything was perfect for us, her, and the animals! I recommend to everyone and anyone!”
About: I take on caring for sweet puppers in my spare time. I am a stay-at-home-mom to three sweet boys, 6 and under, and we love to play with pups and go on walks with them 💖 My partner, Travis, will help care for your furry friend if I must run an errand while your dog stays with us, but I will be the primary caregiver. It is very rare that we are all out of the home at the same time, and if so, it is never for long. I am comfortable administering medication as needed. I can care for any breed, however, some I cannot watch in my own home. I love tiny floofs, big lap dogs and everything in between. I have had a number of pets throughout my life and have loved every second of being around them. Pets are an important part to any family, big or small, and we look forward to looking after your pups and ensuring a safe, loving environment for them to thrive in while you are away. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you and your pup! 💖 -Tara I am currently a stay-at-home-mom to three boys, 6 and under, so I am almost always home to hang out with kids and pups! The boys LOVE to go for walks, so we have no shortage of outside time - weather permitting. Pups receive regular walks, water breaks and lots of love and pets. We will pay careful attention to things owners mention like putting trash cans high-up and keeping our furry friends away from other dogs.
“Excellent and professional provider. My dog was happy and she followed the schedule. I will be using her again this was so convenient and allowed my elder dog to stay in his home where he is more comfortable.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a kid. We've always had dogs in our home and I’ve always had a special connection with each one…even when they weren’t technically “mine”. My dogs are my world and I’ve prided myself in the quality of life they have received. Not only do I treat my dogs this way, but I’ve also extended that same level of care and love to dogs of family/friends. From time to time, I’ve been entrusted to dog sit for family members and close friends. From doing drop-ins, overnight stays, bathing, walking and administering medications. I’ve just recently completed a training program with my dog, I am no professional but I have learned skills that can help me with other animals and maintain trainings your dog may already have. Weekdays: I work full-time and I work from home. Depending on distance, I can do drop-ins - Before 8:00AM - Between 12:00-1:00PM - After 5:00PM, available to walk Weekends: Saturday - Open, walks available Sunday - Before 10:00AM and After 12:30PM, walks available For clients I have cared for, I’ve been able to keep dogs company and let them out of their crate to stretch their legs/play with them, feed them, put them back in crates once leaving (If dog is usually crates), let them out to use restroom and pick up after them. If needed, take the dogs to walk. I don’t take them to dog parks if there are other dogs present, but walking is fine.
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.

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.

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.

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.
