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.
“Patricia took fantastic care of our dog when she stayed with him for four nights. He developed diarrhea during that time and she cared for him like he was her own pet. She communicated with me throughout the stay and sent photos too. When our dog needs care in the future, Patricia will be our first choice.”

“Katie was very awesome and so professional. Gave me regular updates and kept my nerves calm (as it was my first time with Rover). Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life! I’ve had a dog for 7 years and I watch other peoples dogs for them all the time! 25+ different dogs on Rover as well! I work at Texas A&M University at Galveston and I’m free in the early mornings and evenings! I am also available for the weekends as well! I take care of my dog Riley by going outside and throwing his toys in the backyard and daily walks! I will take care of your dog how you want! I watch my parents dogs all the time and they often need oral medications, ointments, and special diets. I hope to make your pet as comfortable and anxiety free while you’re away!
“I’m definitely a repeat client for Stacey. She is the best! She always does the most for my Winnie boy. I’ve had to leave him for long periods of time and short ones. No matter the case she will take care of your pooch just like you would. You can have peace of mind your pet is in the best hands possible.”

About: ❗️If your house has any signs of fleas, do not book with me.❗️I have always grown up with pets in my house hold, i have always token care of them when no one else did and gave them the love they deserve. We are with them their entire lives, while they are with us for only a portion. I will be gentle and patient with them until they gained my trust. I can bathe them and play with them too, i cannot groom though. But i can make them smell all yummy! College student! I do go to college all year, even in the summer! I don’t have an outside job, so the only thing taking me away from your furry family is school! I’m always open and i can always get to your fur baby’s when needed! I have 1 doggy of my own and she has fear aggression towards other people and dogs, i’ve learned to work around her personality and to go forward. I bathe my dog by hand inside my home every 1-2 months (depends on if she gets dirty, she’s got a self-cleaning coat) and she gets fed every night! (she eats at her own pace so i just top off her bowls) She is trained to sit, paw, talk, wait, and lay down! She is my first daughter and my soul dog! I love her to death!!

About: I have had a dog since I was born and I've never been without at least one in my life. I currently have 3 dogs and they are part of my family... we include them in our lives and love to play, walk and talk with them! They have gotten older over the years so 2 of them need special care. Two are blind and have diabetes but we give them shots and it keeps them healthy. I am happy to give your four-legged family member any extra care needed! I comfortable with any breed of dog at any age since I've been around pretty much everything... Chihuahuas, Cockapoo, Schnauzers, English Mastiff...I love them all! I can be available for walks and to check in on your fur-baby while you're away! If your pet needs a ride I am also willing to provide transportation home, or to the spa! Update: Beloved Oliver and Lola are now in puppy heaven. My time is devoted to puppies in need now! Winston recently was laid to rest after 9 years as a devoted companion.
“Sarah took such great care of our pups! It means a lot to know you can trust someone to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. Will definitely reach out again for dog sitting when we need it.”

“I was introduced to Rover by my co-worker, who recently used the service and told me his positive experience. So, I decided to try Rover service and selected Alexadra as our pet sitter to take care my 2 loving dogs and my kitty. She kept me informed of their activities around the house and sent me pictures of them while playing. I'm very happy and satisfied with Alexandra services. Most definitely I will book again with her.”


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.
“Jesika did so great with our Buzz! She was very loving and patient with him and constantly kept me updated. She was also very flexible with our travel schedule and considerate of our home.”

About: I can take care of multiple pets from all sizes and ages! I will try my best to give them the best experiences and love! I am available all day, but I do have a night-shift job from 6:00pm to 12am. Regardless, it does not stop me in trying to get the opportunities to help those in such necessities! Puppy owners, I have kennels! I have three loving dogs that are friendly towards each other in all ages and sizes! I own medium size home with a good sizeable yard.
“Chi was a big help jumping in last minute. Our regular pet sitter had a family emergency and Chi graciously accepted the assignment, and was very communicative right out the gate. My cat was well cared for and happy. Thanks, Chi! And thanks Chanell for helping to coordinate!”


About: As a retired veteran, I'm dependable, organized, and take my responsibilities seriously. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. I'm patient with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency and senior pets who may require a slower pace and extra care. I understand that every animal has a unique routine, and I work hard to keep them comfortable and stress-free. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, compassionate care and regular updates throughout each visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As i am retired, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to each pet without feeling rushed. I can easily work around a pet's feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedule while making sure they get the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to every day I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each owner's care instructions, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,287 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santa Fe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Santa Fe walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Santa Fe maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
