“Stef was amazing!!! She cared so much for our dogs while they were with her. I am a nervous dog mom so I’m concerned any time my “kids” aren’t with me BUT Stef made it easy. She sent lots of updates to let me know what they were up to and how they were doing. She was also very flexible with us as our schedule changed. Stef was exceedingly patient and always willing to help our family. We would be grateful for the opportunity to leave our dogs with her again! 10 out of 5 stars! 😁”

“Angel provided a lovely home and environment for our dog while we were away. We loved daily photos and updates about her time there, and our girl clearly had a wonderful time. Angel was organized, kind, and knowledgable, and we will absolutely book future doggie vacations with her. We are so fortunate to have found her!”

About: I've owned and taken care of dogs since I was 12. Ive helped friends potty train and crate train puppies. I cared for my senior dog for many years before he passed in 2024. Ive fostered animals through animal shelters as well as helped rehome friends and family pets when needed. Ive taken care of friends pets as well as family. If you have any further questions please dont hesitate to ask! (: I am a stay at home mom. We wake up early and I usually stay up late tidying and taking care of our other pets. We only leave for short periods during the day. Your pet and my children will not be left alone at anytime. I have a large fenced back yard. I also have a friendly medium sized dog named Halo who would love to keep your companion company. I can crate over night or during breaks as long as you bring an appropriate sized kennel for them. I may have one on hand if it is a weekly appointment.
“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!”

“Christopher was a very reliable sitter who communicated clearly and definitely has a lot of experience! Our pup loved boarding with Christopher and we loved knowing that she was safe and happy!”

“Kendall took great care of my 13 lb. Yorkie for 2.5 weeks. She is great with dogs, and periodically sent photos of her pup and mine playing and going for walks. My pup can be high energy at times, but Kendall and her pup kept mine entertained. My pup came home happy and healthy. :o)”

“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.”
“Very communicative throughout. And my dog loved her from the first moment. Joy is very gentle and loving. It gave me peace of mind to know she had senior dog experience. And the fact that she works from home was a bonus for a dog that loves companionship!”

“Rachel did a superb job taking care of our 15 month old pup for two weeks! She went above and beyond making sure that Rio was comfortable, entertained and safe. She provided ample pics and updates. She even did puppy “artwork” with her, which we got to keep. I was amazed at this level of care, which allowed me to not worry a bit. Priceless.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Patricia was a great dog sitter for our Gracie. Gracie was well cared for and had a blast playing with Patricia’s dogs Gila and Cedar. Gracie came back to us happy, content and tired! We could tell she had a lot of fun and attention. Patricia has a big yard and good dog sense and I wouldn’t hesitate to board Gracie there again.”

“Tara was awesome! She paid special attention to my kitties and sent me regular updates. She was super communicative and easy to get a hold of. I’ll def book her in the future.”
About: I am an avid pet-loving Minnesota native who would love to watch your pet & house-sit while you are away. I moved to NM in August and can't wait to continue to meet new pets! I do exceptional dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting as needed at clients homes. I take great pride in my pet-sitting job and hold it to a high standard regarding time spent with pets, walks, and cuddles. Pet care has been a crucial part of my early twenties lifestyle. I have always been an animal lover, but cannot own a pet myself due to where I live. If I am able to watch someone's furry friends, it makes my day! I keep pets food schedules as close to what they are used to as possible, as well as stay overnight, play with them, and take them on walks. I love to explore my clients backyard when I am pet sitting, whether that be a trail to follow, a pond to walk around, or a neighborhood to admire. I am an avid walker, so we will certainty go on a long walk. I am always mindful of traffic and keep pets on their leash, unless specific directions are given. Safety is my top priority.
“Stephanie has amazing attention to detail, is super friendly, and took wonderful care of my kitty while I was out of town. She was communicative and sent lots of updates and photos! I would absolutely book Stephanie again!”

“Sue is super responsive and a great troubleshooter! Our microchip feeders freaked out and she solved the problem! The furry family members took to her instantly and always appeared when she arrived for her drop in visits. I will certainly use her services again!”

“What a great experience! Brittany was a very attentive cat sitter for the week. Incredibly knowledgeable about animal care, lots of updates and photos, great communication. She was professional, and asked lots of questions to make sure everything was covered beforehand. Would absolutely book her again in the future, no question.”

About: I love meeting new pups and helping them live their best life! Safety is first and I will communicate with you to make sure your dog enjoys their walk and has all their physical or medical needs accounted for. Having two of my own dogs I know how important it is to have peace of mind! My background in addition to pet care and sitting has also involved working with herding dogs on ranches as well as many years of horse, goat, and chicken care! Animals have always been a part of my life and I look forward to using my experience to help you and your animals. SAFETY, COMFORT, and FUN are my highest priorities! I work as a full time artist and walk dogs part time. Typically Sunday through Wednesday are my available days! I’m happy to accommodate your schedule as much as possible. Safety is the priority. Before any walks I will check with you about any safety concerns such as whether your dog has behavioral issues, escapes out the door or out of their collar, or any joint pain or physical limitations they may have. I will tend to stick to routes they are familiar with as this is usually the safest route.
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.
“Thanks so much for taking such good care of our kitty! I loved getting the pics you sent and your great communication! I felt so good once I saw the pic of him snuggling with you (you're obviously a cat person! 😸). For those considering a booking with Kaleigh, she followed all instructions and more! I wouldn't hesitate leaving Sully in her care again 😻”


About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently have three of my own who mean the world to me. I’ve cared for cats from every walk of life and understand that each one has their own personality, boundaries, and needs. I approach every cat with patience, respect, and a calm energy that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I have hands-on experience caring for cats with medical needs, including closely monitoring a rescued kitten through kidney failure and administering IV treatments. I’m also comfortable giving eye drops and have cared for kittens with eye conditions requiring consistent medication. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I take the time to understand their routines, cues, and comfort levels so they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I'm new to caring for dogs professionally, I've dog and cat sat for my neighbor several times over the last three years. While I'm new to taking care of pets in a professional setting, I've cared for dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. I've always felt a kindred spirit for animals and treat them with the utmost respect and care. From feeding, to bathing, and walking there isn't any dog I haven't enjoyed taking care of or spending time with. I recently lost my sweet boy who was in my life for seven years as he was an elder dog when I adpoted him and that's what brought me to Rover. I can guarantee your pet will be well cared for with me. I have a pretty open schedule right now since I only work part-time. I'm available after 3 pm Monday - Wednesday and have full availibility Thursday - Sunday to care for your fur baby. I'm available for boarding on weekends and can come to your fur baby as well if they prefer being at home. You can have peace of mind knowing that your fur baby will be cared for with full attention to detail. I can ensure a peaceful and calm environment when caring for your pets especailly senior pets who enjoy peace and quiet. If your pet needs a lot of outside time, walks are my specialty. Whatever your pet needs are I can accomodate. I'm always open to meeting with you and your pet to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable.
About: I enjoy caring for and being present with dogs. I am empathetic and always in tune with what others are feeling and need. I would love to hang out with your dogs! I have been around animals my entire life and find myself growing more drawn to caring for them every day. Currently, I do not have a dog of my own so I feel that taking care of your dogs would bring so much joy and fulfillment to my life. I enjoy all types of dogs and personalities and would enjoy getting to know your dogs! I feel others would describe me as patient, balanced, and responsible. Whether I'm just watching your dogs for the day or for an extended period of time you will be able to rest easily because they will be in warm, loving care.

About: I’ve always loved cats and enjoy spending time with animals. While I don’t have professional cat-sitting experience yet, I’m responsible, patient, and committed to giving every cat the care and attention they deserve. I’m happy to feed, refresh water, clean litter boxes, play with cats, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I will care for yours like they’re my own.

About: My family has had cats since I was just 7 years old. Though it turned out my Mom was severely allergic, we made some adjustments around the ranch so that we could still keep them and take care of them. At one time we even had 35 cats! My husband and his family also have cats, and I would be more than happy to pop in/check in on your furry friend. Though I’m allergic and can’t keep them overnight, I’ll be happy to check in on them as much as you need! I’ll be happy to send photos and updates as well. Let me know if you have any special requests so I can make sure your furry friend is all taken care of!

“I left my 70 lb American Bulldog with Michelle for about 4 hours while I visited Bandelier National Monument where dogs are not allowed. She took great care of Venus. I was worried because she has a small dog and there was an incident with my dog where a small dog went after Venus and she responded in turn, causing some injury. But Michelle introduced them slowly and they ended up playing together - now I know it is not small dogs that are the problem but aggressive dogs that make her feel like she is under attack and needs to defend herself.”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“THE BEST! My dog instantly fell in love with David and Spreckles. The level of care is unmatched, both in David’s knowledge about dogs and the opportunity for Romeo to wrestle and cuddle all day with a fantastic friend. On the second day we went, Romeo SPRINTED to the door and left me in the dust. Highly recommend!”

“Melinda was super easy to coordinate with and her puppers is adorable. I felt very comfortable leaving my Pomeranian with her for a few hours while I visited Meow Wolf. And although my guy is very spoiled, he didn’t seem worse for wear after I picked him up.”


About: Pets growing up were 3 dogs Lacy, Maya and Frodo as well as many kitties. Oso was my Cat, we had him from the time I was 4-14years old. We also had a chicken coop we were responsible for, horses that were our landlords but that we fed, and a fish tank with guppies and sucker fish. My 1st gig watching someone else’s pet, was for an elderly woman at my church when I was about 12. Milo was an older, golden retriever. I walked him, cleaned his outside restroom area, fed, bathed, and blow-dryed him. Family and friends have always reached out to me for help over the years, I have cared for all pets. Rottweilers, pit bulls, huskies, small dogs, handicap animals, both cats and dogs. I am great with communicating and accustomed to following the routines their owners have set for them as I believe that is most respectful. My schedule is either 8am-1pm or 2-8pm. I have a 1hour lunch and am home otherwise. I usually have 2 days off a week so will also be home on those days. I have stone floors, no carpet, and live in a non-smoking apartment. I have a small backyard with dirt area and kennel where they usually take small potty breaks aside from walks and dog parks!

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.
About: Look no further!! I’m the answer to all your dog’s needs… I respond very quickly, so please reach out. Let’s do a meet and greet ASAP!! Please read my profile and be sure to check out my photo gallery where you’ll see what kind of fun that we have on a daily basis. My reviews should give you an idea of what to expect when you book with me. I will send tons of pictures and videos every day. Headed out of town?? I’d love to stay with your dogs and create a seamless stress free opportunity for you to get away. Or we can all stay at my place with AC, a fenced in yard, and many neighborhood parks nearby. My house is in a safe and quiet neighborhood right across the street from Frenchy Field. Rest assured that they will be cared for as if they were my own while having the comfort and familiarity of your home, or the tons of fun that goes on at my place. I love all dogs unconditionally. I can provide a much smaller pack environment for your dog rather than a kennel where there could be 50 dogs at a time. Yikes!! I only accept dogs from one to two owners at a time so please plan ahead as I may get booked very quickly. This ensures that I can give your dogs the attention and care that they deserve. My daily routine revolves around my pack needs. Our routine is generally foods, walks, parks, poops, pees, plays, sleeps, repeat…. I am flexible and can accommodate pretty much any type of needs for your pets. I am ready to come care for your pets whenever I am available. Everything from simple walks and feeding to extended stays at my place or yours, it sounds like fun to me. I have a full time best friend and dog named Spreckles who is pretty close to perfect. His nickname is Sprex. He is Hawaiian, so naturally he is very friendly and mellow with tons of Aloha. My number one priority is pack safety. I follow a daily routine and consistent schedule with my pack. Our day always starts with a nice walk to a nearby park. I use my own custom made leash system that I can walk many dogs at the same time, safely and securely. When we’re not out walking or at the park we do a lot of chilling and hanging out around our house and fenced in yard. I promote the pack mentality among my dogs as I am always their pack leader who ensures their safety and protection all the time. I’m glad to use your dog’s crate at my house whenever I am not home if needed (not typical). Sometimes I take the pack out on planned field trips, usually afternoons and weekends, to various places throughout the area. Frenchy Park is right across the street from my house and super fun for the pups. I treat and protect each dog as if they were my own and love them all unconditionally. FYI, I don’t introduce my pack to other dogs that we don’t know, to avoid any unwanted drama and to keep everyone safe. New dogs really shouldn’t be introduced while on leashes anyway. I speak the language of dogs and am confident around them always. I am always their alpha who provides a fun and safe space for my pack.
About: Since I was five years old I’ve had a dog. At the age of seven my family moved to a ranch where at one time we had up to 15 catahoula/pitbull mixes, labradors, and German Shepherds. I also volunteered for two years at an animal shelter in Bryan, TX. I have dealt with several dogs of different demeanors as well as given first aid to dogs with various injuries. Rest assured your dog will be safe with me! Hi there! I’ve just moved to Santa Fe, and I would be more than happy to watch your furry friend. I am actively job hunting, so I will let you know if I have an interview scheduled. I have one active Labrador retriever who is well-tempered and trained so there will not be many dogs. If I have another dog coming on the date you requested I will let you know in advance. I have a fenced yard with artificial turf and one energetic, playful, and well-tempered Labrador retriever. She’s spayed and fully vaccinated (+ the bordetella vaccine) of course, and loves to play! No history of aggression or dog fights, and she is well trained.

She sent lots of updates to let me know what they were up to and how they were doing. She was also very flexible with us as our schedule changed. Stef was exceedingly patient and always willing to help our family. We would be grateful for the opportunity to leave our dogs with her again! 10 out of 5 stars! 😁”

“Angel provided a lovely home and environment for our dog while we were away. We loved daily photos and updates about her time there, and our girl clearly had a wonderful time. Angel was organized, kind, and knowledgable, and we will absolutely book future doggie vacations with her. We are so fortunate to have found her!”

“Christopher was a very reliable sitter who communicated clearly and definitely has a lot of experience! Our pup loved boarding with Christopher and we loved knowing that she was safe and happy!”

“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.”

“Patricia was a great dog sitter for our Gracie. Gracie was well cared for and had a blast playing with Patricia’s dogs Gila and Cedar. Gracie came back to us happy, content and tired! We could tell she had a lot of fun and attention. Patricia has a big yard and good dog sense and I wouldn’t hesitate to board Gracie there again.”

“My cattle dog had a fantastic stay with Ian. She stayed over a week and came home happy and calm. I loved that he walked her and sent photos. A super experience for my young dog. Thank you Ian!”


“Tami went above and beyond when one of our dogs, staying for over a week, was not on her best behavior. Tami coached her and soothed her until she finally calmed down. (It took a few days!!). There is a large yard and Tami is very experienced with all kinds of dogs, and she communicates extremely well. I highly recommend Tami.”

“Heidi was wonderful to work with - flexible, communicative etc. And just terrific with my quirky little Yorkie, Ari. 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!”

Elthea and Joshua kept us updated at all times on Dixie while including some wonderful pictures of her! We are so thankful and would highly recommend them!”
