Pet Sitting Santa Fe Hills

About: I’ve been pet sitting and fostering with KCPP for over 10 years and truly love caring for animals. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. References are available upon request! Through the years I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, medical conditions, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I’m big on following your instructions exactly, as no one knows your furry loved one the way you do. I also have personal experience caring for a senior dog, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of paying close attention to comfort, routines, and changing needs. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and understand how important consistency can be, especially for older dogs. Whether your dog loves walks and playtime or prefers a slower pace with extra cuddles and attention, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work full-time remotely from home, from 6am-2pm. Then I nanny from 3-6pm. The only time I’m unavailable for drop-ins is during my nanny shift from 3-6pm, my full-time job allows me a lot of flexibility. I find it very important to follow a pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep things clean, calm, and consistent. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, medications as needed, and get the right amount of playtime and attention based on their needs and energy level. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, whether they need extra cuddles, a slower pace, or lots of activity—and I adjust my care accordingly. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and monitoring for changes in comfort or behavior. Since I’m new to Rover but have years of dog sitting experience, I take communication seriously and follow instructions carefully while providing updates. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away, while also bringing peace of mind to their owners that their pets are being lovingly and properly cared for.

“Stephanie is great! She is very patient with our shy dog and respectful to our home for drop-in visits. She is communicative, reliable, and attentive. Thank you Stephanie!”

“Kristin did drop-ins for our cat while we were out of town, with food, treats, and oral medicine. A very positive experience overall. Highly recommended :)”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and had a mini dachshund for 15 years. Over the last decade I've been called on numerous times to watch and board dogs for friends, family and neighbors. I am a single dad who has custody of my kids 50/50 so when I don't have them I could give a dog my full attention and be its buddy! On weekends we could hit a trail or go for a long walk at a park. Monday through Friday I usually leave for work around 6:45 or 7, and will return home around 4 pm. And in the evening we'll hang out and have fun! I live within walking distances to a few parks for walks. The Trolley Trail is nearby too if your pet likes a bit of a longer walk.

“Luz was very flexible and understand when I accidentally had the wrong address! She did a wonderful job taking care of my cat!”

“Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Becky was a lifesaver with a last minute request! This was our first experience using Rover and we feel so lucky to have found Becky. We enjoyed the updates during her visits and returned home to 2 very well cared for doggos. She even brought in our mail! ?”

Valerie R.

“Meg is absolutely spectacular! The moment my little senior guy met her, he loved her! She took such great care of him, just feel like I lucked out it finding Meg!”

Shannon D.

“Ron is great and SO reliable. I never wonder for even a moment whether he’ll show up as scheduled or care for our dogs as we request. I can see in the photos he takes that the dogs greet him at the door with toys to show off to him — an unmistakable sign that they are happy to see him!”

Becky S.

“Sarah is the best! Always takes excellent care of my puppy and is so amazing about communicating!! We’re always happy when she can stop by and play for awhile. :)”

“Mallory was our savior! On a trip out of town, our automatic chicken door stopped working in the mornings, and she was able to start right away to let our girls out, even with all of the snow. She was quick to respond and always arrived on time.”

Amanda W.

“Megan was great! I would recommend her to anyone - she took great care of my cat while I was out of town and was kind & definitely made me feel comfortable leaving my pet in her hands!”

“Katy is wonderful with our senior cat, Fredo, who has special medical needs and likes a lot of attention. We always come home to a happy and content cat, so we know that Katy has taken great care of him while we were gone! We highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter in the KC area.”

“Lindsy got me out of a pinch, driving from far away to make sure my dogs were ok. She is the best!”

“Kylee was a WONDERFUL Rover sitter! She was on time based on our agreement every day, she treated my pup like her own, and sent the best pictures! I will definitely book her again! (Once Coronavirus allows me to get back to business as usual).”

“What a fantastic experience! Marissa looked over my two cats during our extended honeymoon stay. Marissa was so easy to work with and allowed us to add four additional days onto our honeymoon thanks to her flexibility and professionalism. I truly cannot give a high enough rating for the experience and piece of mind she provided.”

“Juneall did an awesome job with drop in visits! Thorough and helpful check ins, and my dog was happy when we got home...which makes life so much easier. ?”

“I recently hired Catherina as my cat sitter, and she was absolutely amazing! Right from the start, she had such a friendly and personable vibe that made me feel comfortable entrusting my cat to her care. Catherina was always on time, and I never had to worry about my cat's schedule being disrupted. She was super reliable and punctual, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. What I loved most about Catherina was how she genuinely connected with my cats. She took the time to understand Sophie's quirks and preferences, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. Seeing her shower both cats with affection and attention made me feel so happy and relieved. On top of that, Catherina was a great communicator. She kept me updated about my cats well-being, and I really appreciated that. It was so nice to receive those updates and know that my furry friend was in good hands. All in all, I highly recommend Catherina as a cat sitter. Her friendly and personable nature, punctuality, and genuine love for cats make her an outstanding choice. If you're looking for someone who will take great care of your feline companion and provide a wonderful experience, definitely consider hiring Catherina.”
