“Ariel was the best! Not only did she answer and accept my last minute request at 2:00 a.m. for the same day at 10:00 a.m. in MINUTES, when plans changed, and I asked for my 5 month old puppy to stay for an extra hour and a half, she was more than willing. She provided constant updates and photos throughout the day, and kept my boy entertained (he was exhausted that night- haha). She is truly a life saver. Thank you endlessly, Ariel. Truly! You're the best :)”
“Nya is amazing! I was in town for a week for work and needed help with my sweet, smart, & slightly skittish little dog. She watched him for 3 of my longest & busiest work days. She responded quickly to messages. It became clear from our conversations that she takes training seriously (with her own pup) and understands the value of exercise & play in building trust and giving my pup a full and joyous day. Nya is so sweet & patient, which is exactly what my pup needed. If I’m ever back in the West Palm Beach areas Nya will be my first call. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have experience with taking care of both cats and dogs. I currently have two dogs that are spoiled rotten. They rely on me to bathe, feed, groom, walk, and play with them. I trained my dogs as puppies and have taken care of my own senior cats and dogs throughout the years. I have taken care of my sisters dogs and friends dogs while they were out of town. I have a very flexible schedule as I work from home mostly. I have plenty of free time during the week or weekends to play with or board your babies. I have a fenced in backyard and have two small dogs that love to play with others. I can crate your fur babies if needed.
“Bear had so much fun and treats during her stay with Thi. Thi and her husband is such a lovely, caring and passionate couple. They took wonderful pictures of Bear that really impressed me. She updated me everything that happened during Bear’s stay, this proves her dedication for caring and loving Bear. I totally can trust my furbaby with Thi and her husband and will be a repeated client in the future.”
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 :)
“Flor did an excellent job communicating before and during Sabi’s visit! We were in from out of state and Flor accommodated our needs with little notice - greatly appreciated her flexibility for us!”
About: My family and I have cared for dogs, cats, rats, gerbils, and many more animals in our home and in other family member’s homes. Animals are part of our daily lives as we have three dogs, four cats, chickens, rabbits, and a turkey! They are super special to us and we treat them like our kids. We would like to open our home to other dogs and cats so you can take a vacation without worrying about your fur babies. We will walk them, play with them and love on them like we do our own. If your fun baby has special needs we can accommodate them and take good care of them as they should be. No fur baby will be left behind. We look forward in meeting you and your fur baby! I am home all day and have a routine with my own animals so your pet will fit right in with us and we will make it work! I have leashes for dogs who may not listen so well and three acres they can run free on but unfortunately no fence. I have other animals your pet can play with. I can crate them if needed as well.
“Michelle was very nice and had great communication. She sent many pics and videos, which I love. My dog is very energetic and can be a lot and seemed to get along with her dog. Definitely would recommend”
About: I have had many animals throughout my life. I have also cared for friends’ animals when they go out of town. Your fur babies will be well cared for with me! I am a stay at home mom to teenage boys, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am home all day most every day, so you can rest assured your pet is getting one on one attention every day of their stay! I have a fenced yard and a 9-pen boarding facility at my home. Each pen has access to a private, fenced potty area and your dog can either participate in group play or have private one-on-one play if they are more shy.
“Ashley was so nice and definitely put my mind at ease when I had to drop off my pup. She sent me a photo once he was settled in. She was quick to respond as well. I will definitely use her again!”

“I truly appreciate Timothy for taking care of Quincy, especially on such short notice. He was responsive to all of my questions and made the process easy. I did receive one photo during Quincy’s stay, and I would have loved to get a few more updates, but overall I have no complaints. Thank you for caring for Quincy!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs most of my life. I am also experienced with cats. I am ready to meet every need your pet requires. Jonah is going to college so I am only taking return customers. Our schedule varies but pups will be alone during most days of the work week. My husband and I will give them lots of love other than that. Weekends are preferable during the school year.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Santa Fe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Santa Fe on Rover is $27.35 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Santa Fe commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 726 sitters in Santa Fe, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
