My cats are simple to care for but it means a lot to know that Maddie keep up on the litter box and full communication with text and photos while me and my husband were away.”
“Evan was fantastic! Super kind, detailed in her daily assessment of my cat, and left my place just as she found it. My cat really enjoyed his time with her as well!!! Super thankful for Evan!”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my patience, caring personality, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I want to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I’m also willing to follow specific feeding routines and care instructions to keep pets comfortable in their own environment. I’m especially interested in learning more about puppy care and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. My goal is to give every pet the same kindness, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m happy to make time in my daily and weekly routine to provide pets with the care, attention, and affection they deserve.

Whether it’s going for walks, providing playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I want every pet to feel loved and cared for. I’m committed to communicating with owners, following their instructions, and making sure their pets’ needs come first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines and the owner’s instructions so their pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I provide fresh food and water, playtime, walks when needed, companionship, and a clean space. I also make sure to give each pet attention based on their personality and individual needs. I understand how important it is to treat someone’s home and pets with respect, care, and responsibility.

About: . I’ve been around, loved, cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I also had a toy poodle who was my baby for 12 years before she passed away last October. I know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone affordable who you can truly trust to be patient, gentle, and loving with your pet. I’m hoping to be that person for someone else. I genuinely miss having that companionship in my life, so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention while they’re with me. I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I would want someone to give my own. I’m a recent college graduate currently studying for law school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day, every day. I will follow your directions to a T and be every vigilant when it comes to your animals just how I would like someone to care for mine.
About: I have always taken care of my friends or neighbors pets! It’s one of my favorite pass times! I’ve cared for many dogs cats and smaller pets! I have a pretty open schedule I just have school a couple times a week! So Mondays and Wednesdays I’m free before 10am and after 2pm. I care for my cats at home I make sure they have the best bowls food litter and environment and I fully intend to do so for others pets! Every animal deserves a great day and care!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Family friends and neighbors would always trust me to feed walk and bathe their dogs whenever they were away. I’m currently working part- time which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am typically always free in the mornings and afternoon while some days I am free all day. Schedule can always be discussed. I am open to provide any care your fur baby might need while you are away and cannot provide that care. That may include walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with them.
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.
About: I’m a 21‑year‑old college student with experience caring for dogs, cats, and puppies, offering reliable routines, patient support, and attentive, loving care for every pet. As a full‑time college student who only serves one night a week, I have early mornings and night flexibility to give your pets consistent, attentive care. I’ve grown up with many cats and cared for dogs of all ages, including pets with medical needs. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely—feeding, playtime, litter or potty breaks, meds if required, and plenty of attention. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining the environment and habits they’re used to.
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 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).
“Andrea sends lots of photos and is excellent at replying to my texts! Most importantly, she takes wonderful care of our 2 boys! You can tell she is an animal lover! When I need a sitter while we are in town with our RV, I will try to get Andrea. Thanks for your great service!”
About: I have always had animals growing up. Raising cats to be 17 years old, and currently raising my 9 month old boxer which is very fun and rewarding. I work part time so I will have plenty of time to check in on your fur babies or let them stay with me and give them all of the attention If you board with me I have a big crate that my dog does not use but I’m more than willing to let your animals roam free. I do live in an apartment but I take MANY trips outside to the walking track and dog park. I spent most of my time outside making sure my own puppy gets plenty of her energy out.
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
About: I have been a dog owner for 8 plus years. Currently I have 4 rescue dogs. Dogs bring me joy and I love their different personalities. I enjoy playing with them, walking and having cuddle time. I currently have older kids that don’t require much time thus available during the week and weekends to help out with pets. My schedule is flexible. I have a large fenced in yard and a doggy door that allows my fur babies to go in and out as they please. I also watch the dogs as they are outside.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Santa Fe is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 2,018 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
