“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.”
“Angel was an amazing dog sitter she always kept me informed of how she was doing and made the process so easy for me to be away from my baby. She has a such a comforting home that welcomed my little Pita, as soon as I dropped her off she was excited to be there. I will definitely be coming back with Angel!”
“Stephanie has a wonderfully large space for dogs to play outdoors and get plenty of exercise. One of our pets was recovering from an unexpected illness and needed medications and some very specific feeding instructions which was managed very diligently. We are very happy with the care our dogs received here.”
“Melinda is a wonderful dog sitter! She sent lots of videos of my doggie Elsie playing with her sweet dog Max while I was out of town. I definitely recommend her services. Her dog is a great playmate for other dogs, and her communication is great!”
“Tami is a fantastic rover caretaker for your dog. She took the very best care of my labradoodle and sent me photos and updates throughout her stay. Tami has a beautiful property just outside downtown Santa Fe that is heavenly for dogs. A fenced in backyard with plenty of shade and space. Fresh running water at all times. Comfortable sleeping and eating space Icing on the cake were Tami’s very helpful recommendations about taking advantage of Santa Fe. She shared a wealth of good information. I only wish I had a rover as great as Tami where I live!”
“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 😀”
“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!”
“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.”
“Rune was a lifesaver when I had a last-minute sitter cancellation. They immediately responded to my call for a replacement on very short notice, and even picked Clark up for me while I was stuck at work. And to top it off, Clark had the best time staying with Rune and their menagerie of critters. Already planning our next booking.”
“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.”
“Katie, if I had the ability to give 10 stars to you, I would! Thank you so much for trusting in me and my assesss vment of who Phoenix is and for trusting your intuition and accepting Phoenix for a number of days when you didn't know him and agreed to take him while I was visiting Santa fe. Thank you so much for taking good care of him when he got diarrhea while he was in her home. When I first arrived I thought how is this going to work with all the dogs and no big backyard. Within a few minutes to made it all clear how it would work and I am grateful to you for all the walks you got in with him while he was with you. And .... because I lost his new gentle leader AGAIN, tonight I put him in the suitcase leash position that you taught me and we just finished the BEST evening 'snif'arrai we have ever had. It was everything I have hoped for with him on a leaisurey evening walk. I am most grateful to you and to Joe ... who Phoenix says was the best snuggle partner EVER. THANK YOU to both of you! Maybe see you again in August ...”
“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.”
“Allegra and family took great care of Wesley, our New Mexico mutt. From the pictures Allegre sent, Wesley and her dog Bowie looked inseparable. So glad to have a reliable, communicative dog sitter in town when we need it.”
“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!”
“Heidi is great! She thoughtfully cared for my picky, excitable German Shepherd mix. She has a large dog friendly yard and kept us informed on how he was doing. I'd recommend her without reservation. Thanks, Heidi!”
“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.”
“What a guy! Iosif took great care of our senior dog during our last minute weekend away. He took care to send pictures and gave updates even though it was just a quick overnighter. Super flexible and accommodating with pick up and drop off times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: AVAILABLE FOR LAST MINUTE HOLIDAY PET CARE! EVEN IF IM BOOKED, PLEASE ASK :) Hi! I'm Rune (they/he), I live in San Jose (between Santa Fe & Vegas) on a 1-acre farm with my three dogs, two cats, and nine chickens. I'm a grad student, and would love to have your sweet dog join our pack for a day of doggy daycare, a weekend, or more! I've had cats all my life and dogs for 15 years. I used to foster for the Santa Fe Humane Society and worked with their most fearful, shut-down dogs...and then I kept adopting them :) I've also fostered puppies! I'd be happy to work with your dog, especially if they are fearful. Note: I DO NOT ACCEPT UNALTERED MALES OR UNSPAYED FEMALES, NO EXCEPTIONS. If a dog is found to be intact (not neutered/spayed), they will be quarantined immediately and MUST be picked up same-day with no refunds. I'm a grad student, so I'll be very available for your sweetie :) I specialize in working with extremely fearful animals, helping them come out of their shells, rest, and relax. I'm Pet CPR Certified through The Frontline Coalition, which means I can resuscitate, save from choking, set a limb, etc. My little farm is fully fenced. I'm always here; I'm usually only away from home for one day a week, usually for six hours or less. My house is an old adobe, and I have multiple tall baby-gates so that animals can be separated if needed.
About: I am a friendly neighborhood dog walker, available to care for your pets needs. Reliable, trustworthy, and a good communicator. I'm comfortable with cats as well. I currently work part time, and on my own schedule, so I am available to tailor my schedule to help better suit your pets' needs. I can come in a timely fashion to your home to feed, walk, and provide love and care for your animals. I have my own transportation and can take your animals to the vet in case of an emergency.
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 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.
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.
“I HIGHLY recommend Hannah. We had a bit of a unique request in that we needed someone to care for our axolotls while we were out of town. IT WAS Hannahs first time caring for them. She took exceptional care of our hungry munchkins! She sent us pics during each visit, cleaned their tanks, fed them, and more. She went above and beyond. You will not be disappointed.”
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: Dog owners would love my service because I am very passionate about caring for dogs. Dogs would love my service because I give treats, unconditional love, and lots of hugs and petting. I have 3 dogs of my own and they get bathed, spoiled, treats, sleep with me and care when they are sick. In summer they get air conditioned and in winter they get by the heater. I am available anytime day or night. I will treat your dogs with the upmost respect and as if they were mine and you will be satisfied with my service and will want to bring them back. I can brush thier hair, bathe, love, and pet them. I will be honored and trusted to watch your dogs.

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.
“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”

“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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!”

“My Chiweenie Bug practically jumps out of the window when we turn onto Melissa's street. Her 3 dogs are the cutest and took to my dog immediately. He comes home happy and tired, what more can you ask for? And she even gave me a recipe for the food she makes for her dogs, and Bug looooves it.”
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
“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.”
“We had such a good experience leaving our Weimaraner with Eva. Our dog has separation anxiety, but with Eva he actually relaxed and seemed to enjoy himself! We received pictures throughout the stay, so we could relax and enjoy ourselves too. The location is a big plus for spending time around the plaza. We can't say enough good things about our Rover experience with Eva. Would definitely recommend.”
“Michelle was a very good companion for our dog. She sent us pictures and kept us informed during the day. Michelle played with our dog and made him comfortable in her beautiful and very clean home. I totally and completely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for help with their dog.”
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.

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.

“Angel was an amazing dog sitter she always kept me informed of how she was doing and made the process so easy for me to be away from my baby. She has a such a comforting home that welcomed my little Pita, as soon as I dropped her off she was excited to be there. I will definitely be coming back with Angel!”
“Stephanie has a wonderfully large space for dogs to play outdoors and get plenty of exercise. One of our pets was recovering from an unexpected illness and needed medications and some very specific feeding instructions which was managed very diligently. We are very happy with the care our dogs received here.”
“Melinda is a wonderful dog sitter! She sent lots of videos of my doggie Elsie playing with her sweet dog Max while I was out of town. I definitely recommend her services. Her dog is a great playmate for other dogs, and her communication is great!”
“Tami is a fantastic rover caretaker for your dog. She took the very best care of my labradoodle and sent me photos and updates throughout her stay. Tami has a beautiful property just outside downtown Santa Fe that is heavenly for dogs. A fenced in backyard with plenty of shade and space. Fresh running water at all times. Comfortable sleeping and eating space Icing on the cake were Tami’s very helpful recommendations about taking advantage of Santa Fe. She shared a wealth of good information. I only wish I had a rover as great as Tami where I live!”
“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!”
“Rune was a lifesaver when I had a last-minute sitter cancellation. They immediately responded to my call for a replacement on very short notice, and even picked Clark up for me while I was stuck at work. And to top it off, Clark had the best time staying with Rune and their menagerie of critters. Already planning our next booking.”
“Katie, if I had the ability to give 10 stars to you, I would! Thank you so much for trusting in me and my assesss vment of who Phoenix is and for trusting your intuition and accepting Phoenix for a number of days when you didn't know him and agreed to take him while I was visiting Santa fe. Thank you so much for taking good care of him when he got diarrhea while he was in her home. When I first arrived I thought how is this going to work with all the dogs and no big backyard. Within a few minutes to made it all clear how it would work and I am grateful to you for all the walks you got in with him while he was with you. And .... because I lost his new gentle leader AGAIN, tonight I put him in the suitcase leash position that you taught me and we just finished the BEST evening 'snif'arrai we have ever had. It was everything I have hoped for with him on a leaisurey evening walk. I am most grateful to you and to Joe ... who Phoenix says was the best snuggle partner EVER. THANK YOU to both of you! Maybe see you again in August ...”
“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.”
“Allegra and family took great care of Wesley, our New Mexico mutt. From the pictures Allegre sent, Wesley and her dog Bowie looked inseparable. So glad to have a reliable, communicative dog sitter in town when we need it.”
“Heidi is great! She thoughtfully cared for my picky, excitable German Shepherd mix. She has a large dog friendly yard and kept us informed on how he was doing. I'd recommend her without reservation. Thanks, Heidi!”
“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.”
“What a guy! Iosif took great care of our senior dog during our last minute weekend away. He took care to send pictures and gave updates even though it was just a quick overnighter. Super flexible and accommodating with pick up and drop off times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Clearly had activities planned with the doggo. Her dog oatmeal got along with mine at the meet and greet, and from photos seemed to be getting along during the stay as well. Communicative and friendly, would use again”
“Michele, her husband and their dog took good care of Lulu. She provided a welcoming space and tried to make Lulu feel at home. And, she provided regular updates. Thank you!”

Her dogs and ours were compatible, there were Lots of walks in a nearby dog park, access to outside fenced yard during the rest of the time, and Coco was a Happy Camper when we picked her up. Tara is a lovely person and dog lover. She was a perfect Rover sitter!”
