Personalized care for your dog or cat - Cowles
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Cowles
“I give Gavin the highest recommendation! He is the best! My puppy loved being with Gavin and Wana, who is Gavin's gentle and good-natured boxer. Gavin took really good and thorough care of my puppy. I totally trust him to make good choices. My puppy gave Gavin many "kisses" when we left. I will always call Gavin to board my pup if I have to go out of town!”
“We needed a place for Finnley for a long holiday weekend. He absolutely enjoyed his college visit and came back with a higher education and some new tricks. Isabella was incredibly responsive and flexible with our schedule while taking amazing care of Finn and keeping us updated about his adventures. We think he is excited to go back and visit his new feline friend Prince.”
“Stephanie was wonderful for our first time using Rover! She was incredibly communicative and sent plenty of photos and updates during the four hours our dog, Fredo, was with her. Fredo has significant vision and hearing deficits along with high anxiety, and Stephanie was so patient in trying to navigate his unique needs. While the environment ultimately wasn’t the right fit for Fredo’s specific anxiety, I could tell he was in caring hands. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone in the Santa Fe area looking for an attentive, responsive, and kind sitter!”
“Laurie was just great in every aspect of boarding our pooch Mikey. She was very accommodating to our schedule and was quick to respond to calls and text. But most importantly, Laurie was fantastic with Mikey. One could immediately tell she is at ease with dogs. I would certainly use Laurie on our next visit to Prescott and recommend her to our friends with dogs. John and Nancy F.”
“I was very nervous to have to leave my cats overnight, especially since they can get nervous around strangers, but they came home still happy and calm. Mayra made me feel very confident in her ability to care and she did just that. Thank you!”
“Izzy was so happy and had a great time. She met other dogs and played a lot. Angel sent us lots of photos which made us feel very relaxed. We felt she was in excellent hands so we could enjoy our trip so much more relieved.”
“This was Maggie’s second stay with Tami. She was extremely well cared for. Tami was great with daily updates and pictures, she really takes her work seriously and will let you know about any hiccups or if she should be doing something differently with your dog. Great attention to detail I will continue to use her!”
“Katie's the best! Clark had never spent a night away from home before and I was worried about how he'd handle it. Katie made sure he got plenty of exercise and play time with the other dogs, and he settled in almost immediately. Already booked our next stay.”
“Highly recommend Rachel! My puppy was so very happy, it was a caca for her. Every picture I received, Daisy Mae was smiling. Rachel added to my pups experiences with socializing and being around other humans ( she learned manners) I never expected to be so pleased! I will always book with Rachel!! Rachel is a fur babies Parent, dream come true!!”
“We have continued to use Candace as she is great with our Chihuahua. Our pup wags her tail when we walk up Candace's steps to drop her off, that's when we know she's in great hands.”
“Joy was fantastic with Ziggy who can sometimes be a little anxious in new settings and a finicky eater. Joy put me at ease with lots of updates and Ziggy really loved her. She went above and beyond to buy him some chicken when he ran out. Thanks Joy!!”
“Brooke was phenomenal. I feel lucky to have found her and think she's an absolute gem on this app. I will definitely be using her again to take care of Luna, would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! It was a huge relief to know that Luna was being so well attended to. She seemed really happy and like she settled in with Brooke right away and Brooke's communication was amazing. I received lots of updates and photos.”
“Sushi always has a great time at Jai's and returns exhausted from running around! Jai is amazing and treats Sushi as if she was his own. I know she gets tons of attention and exercise. Thanks!”
“Kendell was an amazing sitter! It was my first time having a sitter for my puppy, so I was nervous at first, but Kendell sent photos and daily updates & it put me at ease. Kasza had another pup to play with & had a great time!”
“Michelle is great, I’d sit my dog Mamie with her anytime. Really responsive and conscientious, and she even gave my senior dog medication this weekend. Thanks Michelle.”

Cat caregivers near you - Cowles
About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.
“Hannah house/cat sat for us once again when we had an unplanned emergent trip. She was responsive to our request and accommodating even though it wasn’t the most convenient time for her. She is so very kind and conscientious that I feel at ease leaving my cat in her care. It’s a real gift! Thank you Hannah.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Cowles
“Dawn was so amazing with our dog Miles. He was new to doggy day care and she helped both of us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. She was careful, considerate, and kind and we can’t wait to work with her again.”
“I am visiting Santa Fe from out of town, and Stephanie took care of my high-energy Labrador for the day. My dog came back to me clean and tired, and Stephanie sent me photos and updates throughout the day. I would definitely take Margot to her again!”
“Our dog had great fun playing with the dogs at the sitter 😁. Laurie took them on a hike one day and our dog had a great time and was nice and tired out for a calm evening 😊. Lily was very excited to go back for her second day! You should be forewarned that her house is down a dirt road with ups and downs. Would definitely recommend this sitter for a social and energetic dog”
“Nancy is always amazing. We have come to depend on her doggy daycare for our sensitive dog. He always enjoys his stay and trusts her so he can rest. For our elderly dog, it’s so much better than trying to take him to a business where the dogs are moving around and barking and anxious. That is too exhausting for our dog. Nancy’s peaceful home is ideal.”
“What a wonderful caring person Michelle is! A last minute booking and I felt totally confidant and at ease leaving our two dogs (including a special needs pup) with her. Happy tired dogs- the best!”
“Tami was very professional. You can tell right away she loves dogs and speaks their language. She sent lots of reassuring texts the first time which helped ease our mind since we are over protective dog parents. I will definitely use Tami again!”
About: I am a reliable and compassionate pet sitter with experience in caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I can provide in-home pet sitting services, overnight stays, including feeding and walking. My pets and I have a consistent daily routine. We enjoy morning and evening walks around our pet-friendly apartment community, plenty of playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day to keep everyone happy and active. Your pet will be treated like family in a clean, calm, and safe apartment environment. I provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love, ensuring they feel comfortable, relaxed, and secure during their stay.
About: I've been taking care of pets ever since I was a child. Ive grown up near live stock and many types of animals and helped take care of them for my entire life. I have had 2 dogs and 3 cats, my oldest dog recently died of old age. I am very responsible and I care about animals. I will take care of your pets like they are my own. I love any type of animal big or small. My family and I have had many chihuauas in my lifetime. I love each of them very much. Any animal I care for will be well fed and watered and will get plenty of play time. All of the animals I currently have are super friendly. I live on a one acre fenced property. I currently am a full time college student, so I have alot of free time in which I usually always hang out with my animals. I have a fenced yard, and a puppy to keep your pet company. I also have a kennel so if needed they can go in there.
“Eva was amazing! I would highly recommend her to watch your furbaby. She watched our sweet Lohla and sent pictures throughout the day. I can’t say enough kind words to say how thankful we were to Eva to watch our girl!”
About: I've had dogs and taken care of them since I was a young child. As an adult I’ve fostered dogs for over 5 years, taking care of all types of dogs. I have experience potty training, house breaking, bathing, and more. The dogs I have fostered came from all sorts of backgrounds; homeless, abusive households, neglected, seniors, disabled (blind, deaf, hard of hearing, missing limbs). I enjoy spending time with all animals and animals like to be around me. Currently working on my dog trainer certification I have a flexible schedule since I work from home most of the time. As a dog owner myself I spend a lot of time taking care of my dog. We go on walks 3 times a day, he gets treats, cuddles and play time all day long. On the weekends when the weather is nice we like to go for short hikes. Unfortunately I sustained a bad fall in 2024 and broke my back; so I am unable to care for any pet over 50lbs or any pet that is leash reactive or pulls on a leash. Since that would aggravate the injury and most definetely stop me from caring for pets all together; I hope you can understand! I have a small backyard where we go play fetch, we also love going to Frenchy’s or many of the other parks in the area for walks and off leash play when the weather is nice. Going for walks 2-3 times a day around the neighborhood as well
About: Caring for animals comes naturally, and nothing makes me happier than making them feel safe, loved, and at ease. Animals have always been part of my life, as I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats and more! I've raised puppies from 3 days old, having to bottle feed and potty train...all the way up to seniors, managing meds and declining capabilities. I volunteered at a shelter in Mexico for a year. Through that experience, I was exposed to a lot of medical and behavioral situations, which taught me a lot. My partner and I both work from home, which means your pup will never be lonely. We know how to make dogs feel comfortable, and aim to have them feel like they've taken a little vacation, too! I know leaving your pets can be stressful. I send lots of updates and pictures, so you can feel relaxed and assured your pup is happy and healthy. My partner and I work from home, and have a lot of flexibility in our schedule. We currently have a 10lb Chihuahua, who was left on our doorstep with umbilical cord still attached! At 2 years old now, he's a pretty easy going guy, and likes to be part of a pack from time to time. He usually gets 2 walks a day around the neighborhood. Or, we will do a nice long walk or hike, if time allows. We feed twice a day and provide treats for being a good dog, of course. I love to take work breaks to play tug of war or fetch. Belly rubs are available every night for all four legged residents of the house who want them! Any furry guests would fit seemlessly into our routine. We have a fenced yard, and are always home when pets are in the yard. No dangerous chemicals or pet hazards in our house. Generally, we aren't away from for more than a few hours. We are also happy to take them with us, whenever possible.
“Iosif was amazing! Great communication from start to finish sent me updates throughout the day with videos and pictures. Iosif was very careful and wanted to make sure that his dog and my dog got along and asked the appropriate questions I was traveling, but if I am in Santa Fe again, I need pet sitting he’ll be my first choice.”
“Kendell is excellent! We were worried about finding a sitter during a road trip, and we are lucky that Kendell was available to sit Bella for a couple of hours! She is very attentive and took good care of Bella, and even left us a summary of the walks she took her on and how Bella did with her dinner. We are extremely grateful!”
“Jalali was amazing with our pups! I would highly recommend him as a sitter and I will definitely book again when I’m back in the area. Our dogs were exhausted from a day of running and playing when we picked them up and were excited for another day of day care when we dropped them off for a second day, too! Overall, great experience, communication, and care. Thanks, Jalali!”
About: Professional animal caretaker in the Santa Fe area. I love what I do and can assure you your animals will love me too! Dogs and cats alike. I currently have full availability to meet all of your animals' needs! Message me any time or day. Happy to help! Look forward to hearing from you :) Willing and able to follow all rules and show the utmost respect to you, your space, and most importantly your animals. Your babies your rules!

About: I grew up in a household with cats, dogs, small mammals, exotic and domestic birds, reptiles, and fish. I have experience as both a short and long term pet/house sitter. A large portion of my life has been spent working at pet stores, aquariums, wildlife rehabilitation facilities and with animal trainers so I have good background knowledge surrounding a large variety of animal care. By trade I am a biologist with a focus in the marine sciences. As a full-time field biologist, the field part of my job doesn’t allow me time to have pets of my own. So between field jobs I greatly enjoy the opportunity to pet sit since I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet! I feel that pet sitting is a great way to get some animal time in while also helping out. I am very attentive, caring, trustworthy, and dedicated. Every home has a routine and flow all its own, one of the most important things a sitter can do is maintain that rythem while the pet parent is away, and give lots of extra love too. Thank you for taking the time to review my information, I would be thrilled to speak with you about how we can work together to meet you and your pets needs.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all shapes and sizes most of my life with various health issues which I’ve been fortunate to learn from. I’ve been raising a now almost 3 year old Rottie pup (Raja); well-versed in training through positive reinforcement and happy to support any training that you are working on while your fur baby is in my care! I send lots of photo updates (I know how daunting it can be to leave your baby with a stranger), and I am always a call away for peace of mind. Know that your pup will be treated as family and very well loved while they are in my care 😊! This is currently my full time gig while I work on becoming a certified herbalist so my schedule is pretty flexible for playing or walking with your pups! I am available Monday-Friday with some weekends depending on the week. I am currently only taking home visits or walks as I get my outdoor area at home more situated! Safety and trust are very important to me, I will never put your dog or myself in any questionable situations, and will make sure our activities are suited to your comfortability. Water and treats are always on hand (let me know of any allergies they may have).

I am always uneasy leaving Ari with someone new for the first time, and this went so smoothly. He came back totally "himself": no re-adjustment period at all. Cannot recommend highly enough. Very much hope that Heidi is available the next time I travel!”
“Mark was very kind and took great care of Piper. He sent me pics and took her for walks and trips to the dog park. He was good at communicating. I felt Piper was in good hands and I would definitely book with him again in the future.”
