“Lily is a wonderful and attentive doggie-sitter! Our girl got along beautifully with her and her furry family, and had so much fun while she stayed there. Lily sent great photo updates and videos throughout our girl's stay, and it was clear how much she enjoyed her own doggie vacation while we were away. We look forward to booking with Lily again.”
“Our experience using Rover and Angel for the first time surpassed our expectations. From our initial meet and greet to our drop off, we felt confident that Tequila would be lovingly cared for by individuals in a home that was dog friendly with both indoor and outdoor areas for play and rest. We received daily notifications, photos and videos about T, allowing us to enjoy time away without worries. With additional trips planned, we look forward to leaving Tequila in Angel's care in the future.”
“Kendell was unbelievable with my dog Theo! Theo had such a great time with her and her dog and I loved all of the updates I got. I also had a late flight and she was able to accommodate me picking Theo then which I appreciated. Would definitely use again!”
“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! 😁”
“Did a phenomenal job of caring for it cats while I moved into a new apartment post-divorce. Sent quite a few picture updates while respecting distance of the cat who likes her space. Would book again 😀”
“My little Chloe was so well taken care of my Roberta! She got to go with her to the Home Depot, an outing that I know she loves, and got to play with other family dogs when they went to visit. Chloe was so happy with Roberta that I was a little envious when I went to pick her up! I highly recommend Roberta and will be setting up another stay with her soon.”
“Eliza is a great pet sitter. She was always sending me pictures and videos to show how Mimi was doing and I knew the moment I pick Mimi up that she had a great time. Thank you Eliza. Mimi will love to see you soon.”
“Katie is the best! She and her husband took such great care of Ziggy - who is a picky eater and a bit needy. Knowing Ziggy was in good hands while I was out of the country was such a relief. Thank you Katie and Joe.”
“Ziggy had a great time with Rachel! He quickly made himself at home and loved cuddling, playing ball, and going on walks with her. Rachel made it easy to coordinate around my travel plans and kept me updated on how Ziggy was doing.”
“Johnny gave lots of updates and was very good with my dog! She was very comfortable with him and his space right away. She was a little nervous going down his outdoor stairs at first because they are open in the back, but he worked with her and got her comfortable. She was also having trouble finding a good potty spot outside to poop, and he was very patient and understanding and found a good spot for her where she was comfortable going. I would definitely recommend Johnny and hope he’s available the next time I need a sitter! Thank you, Johnny!”
About: I grew up around lots of animals (cats, dogs, chickens, goats, reptiles), and I now have a lovely cat of my own named Julian. I absolutely love getting to spend time with other people’s pets. At this point in my life, I’d say I’m very much both a dog-person and a cat-person. I go on walks every day before or after work, and during my lunch break. Walking a dog would fit naturally into that routine. I’m willing to wake up early in the morning if needed, and if the client lives in Santa Fe, I would have the capacity to visit the dog or cat during my midday break from work as well. If the client lives outside of Santa Fe, I’m still available every evening for walks, feeding, and giving the dog/cat attention and human contact. I’m typically able to stay overnight at a client’s home any night of the week if needed. I treat pets with care, respect, and attentiveness. I’m a clean and tidy houseguest, and will respect the client’s privacy and boundaries. Whether you need me to take your dog for a walk, stop by once or twice a day to feed your cat, or stay overnight to keep your pet(s) company, I will be professional, responsible, and caring towards your pets. I’m happy to answer further questions, so please feel free to contact me anytime.
“Hannah was amazing! She took such great care of Olive, taking her for walks, playing with her and sending us frequent updates and pics. Olive had a wonderful vacation, and we were able to enjoy ours knowing she was in such good hands. I would rebook in a heartbeat if we ever return to Santa Fe.”
“Michelle was a terrific dog sitter, caring, attentive and I know my dog enjoyed his time at her house. She sent photos daily which I appreciated and her dog and mine got along great. Thanks so much!”
“Jessica has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We've trusted her multiple times with our four dogs, two of whom have specific medical needs, and she handles everything flawlessly. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring—our dogs adore her! Administering meds is never a problem for Jessica, and we feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate sitter!”
“Ian took great care of our giant puppy for a week over Christmas so we could be with family on the East Coast. We appreciated his willingness to do so over the holiday.”
“Dan was great with the dogs. We got pictures and videos every day and the dogs were very comfortable with her and her pups when we came to collect them. I would highly recommend her as a sitter. She has a nice enclosed yard and house very suitable for dogs. We will definitely be back.”

“Reiley definitely went above and beyond for me! I was away for a work trip and due to a combination of my plane’s engine breaking down and holiday travelers booking all available flights back, I couldn’t leave until late the following day. One of my cats has pancreatic enzyme deficiency so he has to be given meds and special food. Reiley was great enough to not only extend services but also left to take care of my fur baby immediately after reaching out to him with the situation. He took amazing care of my other kitties too and always sent me cute updates and photos/videos of the visits. Not a lot of people can handle juggling 5 cats with one of them being super hard to medicate but Reiley did so with ease. The travel home with chaotic and stressful due to the flight issues but I can say with confidence the only thing I wasn’t worried about at all was Reiley taking care of my kitties. Will 110% book again!”
“Nicholas took great care of our two cats for a week. During every visit, he sent us photos as well as updates on events (such as having refilled the water fountain, changing the litter, etc.). He also sent us videos of the cats every few days. We found the cats happy when we came back. It was clear that Nicholas loved the cats and the cats loved him back. Would wholeheartedly recommend him!”
“Sam was awesome! She’s clearly a true animal lover and was able to help out with our kitties (including giving them 2 different meds!) in a last minute request. She was always prompt and professional in her replies and sent lots of pictures of the kitties. Would highly recommend!!”
“Jenna did a great job taking care of our kitty, Sterling. She was prompt and considerate, and we returned to a cleaner setup than we left. We returned to a happy, well-fed cat.”
“She did an amazing job taking care of Sable! I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her, and it was clear that he was well cared for and given plenty of attention while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and treated Sable like he was her own. I really appreciate how well she took care of him and would absolutely trust her to watch him again. Highly recommend!”
“I requested some drop ins while I was out on vacation to make sure my cats were doing alright. My cats were properly cared for even though they were hiding most of the time, and they were perfectly content when I got home. Communication was excellent too.”
About: I grew up with cats and have been a dedicated pet sitter for more cats than I can count! I cared for 6 cats (at once) while living in Hawaii...kittens, gift bearing farm cats and hungry strays. From feedings to litter box clean up, administering meds, play time and affectionate touch, I'm here to help while you're away and give your pets the love they need. I'm an intuitive artist and healer and very attuned to how animals express what they want and need. Rest assured, your cat will be adored and cared for while you are away, even if only for a day!
“Joshua was excellent, managed the strict diet of our growing kitten with IBS, gave us regular hilarious updates, and managed to get on the good side of our other cranky cat.”
“Vicki did great with my fussy cat. Philly doesn’t take to strangers very easily but she became comfortable with Vicki quickly. Philly allowed Vicki to brush her and played some. Vicki also did some extras around the house as needed. Very good communication with pictures.”
“Cheyenne was great! My dog Theo was super happy and excited when we got home from our vaca! Got pictures throughout the weekend that allowed me to enjoy my time away. I will definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have taken care of cats all my life. I owe 3 boy cats & have been a foster parent to cats through Feline and friends! Friends have relied on me to check in on their fur babies and I would like to be able to do the same.

“We brought our older dog with us to Santa Fe and realized that in order to see all the lovely art museums we needed to find someone to care for Zippy. Zippy has separation anxiety and we were worried about leaving him for an extended time. We had nothing to worry about. He really enjoyed his time with Victoria! He got to play with other dogs, watch the chickens, take walks. He was living his best life, while we were able to enjoy Santa Fe dog free. It was a win-win for everyone. I highly recommend Victoria for daycare.”
“Highly recommend. I was visiting Santa Fe & needed care for a day I would be out too long to leave my little guy alone. Stephanie was very accommodating - we did a meet & greet the day before & I was completely at ease leaving Rocco with her. Stephanie has such a calm presence - you know your pet will be well-cared for.”

“Kendall was fantastic! She did a great job of taking care of Fritz and was very communicative and provided helpful updates throughout Fritz’s time with her. She was so helpful last minute! Highly recommend!”
“Abby had a great time with Eliza and Alejandro and came home tuckered after plenty of walks and cuddles. I have them booked again for two different days next week also. I appreciated the photo updates. THANKS!!”
“Hannah watched our senior dog for the day so we could do some non dog friendly things while traveling. She was able to take us last minute and responded quickly. She was easy to communicate plans with and we felt totally safe leaving our dog with her. She has the perfect set up, works from home. He came back happy and tired!”
“Teddy had a wonderful day with Michelle. We were very happy to find Michelle nearby our family near Santa Fe so we could go out hiking. We look forward to seeing Michelle and playing with CJ again on Monday!”
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
“Thank you Angel and Jon for watching over Jo Jo. I appreciate your service, and I felt an immediate ease with you both and your lovely home. You are obviously experienced, with a caring love for animals. Thank you so much!”
“Anaissa did a great job of providing consistent updates of a fur baby. Our big brut took her dog’s bed for the day and played with his toys…all without complaints. I would recommend!!”
“Leahlani was awesome! Super responsive with our last minute request and she took great care of kona. She gave detailed feedback as to how Kona did and was available throughout the care experience to text. Would highly recommend!”
About: My husband and I have an Australian cattle dog and had a tabby cat who has crossed the rainbow road. I often care for my family members' dog when they are out of town. He requires special care, as he needs to take a few pills every day both day and night. This schedule is second nature to us. We enjoy being around our furry pals and will enjoy caring for yours too! They will be treated like our own pets and will benefit from being more socialized! I have a flexible schedule because I work from home and can easily adjust to your pets needs. I work a traditional schedule leaving my weekends especially open. I have a fenced in yard and our back door has a doggie door so your dog can go in and out as they please. We also have a large dog crate if your pet is kennel trained.
“Roberta helped us out and watched Peso while we were on vacation and visiting the Santa Fe area. She was very friendly, and she was very responsive to messages. The communication was great!!! Peso seemed like we had a great time and was happy when we returned to pick him up. We would recommend Roberta to watch your pet!”
“Chloe did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Zoey. They went on several walks, and Zoey came home happy and tired each day. Chloe had great communication throughout and was a huge help during our visit to Santa Fe. I highly recommend her!”

“My boys were instantly comfortable with Cressandra. It was remarkable. They are shy dogs, but day 1 of doggy daycare they already did zoomies, made themselves at home on the couch, and ate their full meal.”

About: Hi! My name is Jamie, and I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I had a Labrador Retriever for 16 years, and I currently care for three dogs of my own: a German Shepherd, a Labrador, and a Beauceron. Living with multiple breeds—especially working and high-energy dogs—has given me strong experience with daily routines, exercise needs, and individualized care. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter and completed a mentorship where I worked closely with a behavior specialist. Through that experience, I learned basic dog training and handling skills and am comfortable reinforcing commands such as sit, stay, down, leave it, drop it, and come. I focus on patience, consistency, and positive interactions to help dogs feel safe and confident. I truly believe every dog deserves attentive, compassionate care from someone who treats them like family. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or house sitting, I take the time to understand each dog’s needs and personality so they receive the best care possible. I’m also happy to help with house sitting and maintaining your dog’s regular routine while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. — Jamie I'm avaliable most days of the week plus weekends and keep my calendar updated when I will be away. I can work multiple days too. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I take time to learn each pet’s personality so I can adjust my approach, whether they are energetic, shy, or need extra patience.
“Katherine was outstanding. We were so grateful for her flexibility with our timeline. She easily befriended Gaston and took great care of him on those walks. I hope to use her services again in the near future, and highly recommend her!”

About: Hello! My name is Kara. I work from home so I have flexible hours to take care of your pupper. I can't have a dog where I live, but as a dog-lover, I so enjoy getting the opportunity to care for other people's pets. I've watched big and small dogs from beagles and french bull dogs to greyhounds, and great pyrenees. I have experience with old dogs, puppies, and everything I between. I can administer medicine as well. I'm happy to provide references from past dog sitting experiences. I'm looking forward to meeting you and you doggo. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions at all. I work from home, so caring for dogs helps me get away from my desk and outside. My ideal scenario is staying with a dog longer term (a week or more) so I can establish a relationship with a pup and get on their schedule. I am great at fitting into your dog’s routine and your home’s specific environment. Happy to accommodate any rules you have for where your dog can and can’t go, and happy to take advantage of parks, trails, yard space etc. Near your home. Also happy to take your dog on longer hikes if appropriate.

About: I am a certified dog and cat lover (I have had both as pets over the years).

I'm a great communicator, neat, clean responsible mature Female artist. My grandfather was a veterinarian in Greenwich Village and I'd visit him in his office as a kid. I was in AWE of what he did. He sent a duck home with my Mom one time and there is a pic of me in the bath with a duck at age 5. I worked in a holistic vet's office in LA as an all around assistant, caring for people's pets post surgery, walking lots and lots of dogs, assisting with minor surgical procedures, welcoming people and pets into the office.

I will exercise, feed and spend time with your critters in your absence and follow your instructions for their care.
About: Upon having taken care of pets for quite some time now. I have learned that all animals need love and compassion like us. I have cared for a variety of animals from mice to snakes and cats to goats. All of the time learning what to do and not to do with every animal. I've always had animals in my life ever since I was a little girl and I loved to caring for them. I was a foster parent for cats a few years back but had to stop when we moved. I've own a few dogs and enjoy the company they have to give to us. I would be more than happy to take care of your babies and treat them as my own.
About: I will spend quality time with any and every animal that I watch. My brother and his girlfriend have me walk they're two dog's a few times a week while they're at work. They have a rotty and a german shepherd mix. I love doing it and my daughter loves them as well. I figured sense we love it so much I should see if I can get paid for it! I have been watching both dogs and cats for about 5 years now for both friend's and family whenever needed. I am not scared of pit bulls or any breed. I believe how you raise them is how they act.

“Lily is a wonderful and attentive doggie-sitter! Our girl got along beautifully with her and her furry family, and had so much fun while she stayed there. Lily sent great photo updates and videos throughout our girl's stay, and it was clear how much she enjoyed her own doggie vacation while we were away. We look forward to booking with Lily again.”
“Our experience using Rover and Angel for the first time surpassed our expectations. From our initial meet and greet to our drop off, we felt confident that Tequila would be lovingly cared for by individuals in a home that was dog friendly with both indoor and outdoor areas for play and rest. We received daily notifications, photos and videos about T, allowing us to enjoy time away without worries. With additional trips planned, we look forward to leaving Tequila in Angel's care in the future.”
“Kendell was unbelievable with my dog Theo! Theo had such a great time with her and her dog and I loved all of the updates I got. I also had a late flight and she was able to accommodate me picking Theo then which I appreciated. Would definitely use again!”
“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! 😁”
“My little Chloe was so well taken care of my Roberta! She got to go with her to the Home Depot, an outing that I know she loves, and got to play with other family dogs when they went to visit. Chloe was so happy with Roberta that I was a little envious when I went to pick her up! I highly recommend Roberta and will be setting up another stay with her soon.”
“Eliza is a great pet sitter. She was always sending me pictures and videos to show how Mimi was doing and I knew the moment I pick Mimi up that she had a great time. Thank you Eliza. Mimi will love to see you soon.”
“Katie is the best! She and her husband took such great care of Ziggy - who is a picky eater and a bit needy. Knowing Ziggy was in good hands while I was out of the country was such a relief. Thank you Katie and Joe.”
“Johnny gave lots of updates and was very good with my dog! She was very comfortable with him and his space right away. She was a little nervous going down his outdoor stairs at first because they are open in the back, but he worked with her and got her comfortable. She was also having trouble finding a good potty spot outside to poop, and he was very patient and understanding and found a good spot for her where she was comfortable going. I would definitely recommend Johnny and hope he’s available the next time I need a sitter! Thank you, Johnny!”
“Hannah was amazing! She took such great care of Olive, taking her for walks, playing with her and sending us frequent updates and pics. Olive had a wonderful vacation, and we were able to enjoy ours knowing she was in such good hands. I would rebook in a heartbeat if we ever return to Santa Fe.”
“Jessica has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We've trusted her multiple times with our four dogs, two of whom have specific medical needs, and she handles everything flawlessly. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring—our dogs adore her! Administering meds is never a problem for Jessica, and we feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate sitter!”
“Ian took great care of our giant puppy for a week over Christmas so we could be with family on the East Coast. We appreciated his willingness to do so over the holiday.”
“Dan was great with the dogs. We got pictures and videos every day and the dogs were very comfortable with her and her pups when we came to collect them. I would highly recommend her as a sitter. She has a nice enclosed yard and house very suitable for dogs. We will definitely be back.”
“Leahlani Was fantastic. She took great care of my pup and was very responsive with communication. Sam had a ton of fun during his visit, and I picked him up happy and very tired from all the playing he got to do.”
“They were such great sitters! Momo got along with her 2 y/o son and two other dogs! They regularly took her to parks and on walks. So many videos and pics! I would seriously enjoy having them look after her again. They were the perfect match for Momo.”
“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!”
“Violeta was perfect. Can tell she really loves dogs and really cares about them. She watched my dog for nearly 3 weeks. Sent pix and notes. I can’t say enough good things. She’s a great person that really cares about animals. ?”
“Christina did a great job with our pup. She was extremely communicative and allowed my girlfriend and I to enjoy a day trip to the caverns/Guadalupe mountains with ease of mind.”
