Personalized care for your dog or cat - Pilar
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Pilar
“Dawn once again took great care of our dog, Sevi, while we were visiting Santa Fe a second time. Sevi is a sensitive shepherd mix, and she gave Dawn a thumbs up! Dawn was communicative and responsible.”
“Bonnie is a very kind person who just loves dogs. She mentioned the reason her rates are reasonable is simply because she likes spending time with dogs. She made time to come over and meet my dog before picking her up and her energy is very sweet and loving. I felt at ease the whole time I was away from my puppy. She sent pictures daily with updates. I’m so happy it was a great fit. I highly recommend booking with this genuinely kind and loving person.”
“Elthea and Josh provided a safe and welcoming home-away-from-home and I would not hesitate to ask them to board our dogs again They spoiled and treated them like family. The pictures, captions and updates were much appreciated. Thank you!”
“Chandra took excellent care of Fawn while we were away. It’s never easy to be separated from your beloved pet but Chandra made things easier by sending us lots of updates and photos.”
“Sydnie was fabulous, diligent and accepted a last minute request after the local dog boarding facility screwed us over! Our puppy was well exercised and shown wonderful attention to detail and care! Best case scenario!”
“Patricia, her husband Sam are ideal dog sitters. They offer 100% dog sense, a yard that our border collie, Olli, could run around in and enjoy, and friends for Olli - Gila and Amber - two lovely dogs. Olli was taken for a run and allowed to sleep where he wanted. (important to us because he roams at night) Their home is calm and relaxed and dog friendly! Worth the trip from Santa Fe to their home near Pojoaque.”
“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!”
About: Kayla is our 2-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loves dogs! We want to help her grow up learning how to be gentle, kind, and responsible when caring for pets. Of course, we’ll be right there with her every step of the way, teaching and helping her along the way. Daily Care Routine We follow a flexible, rotational care schedule so each pet gets individual attention and plenty of opportunities to go outside. Morning: First thing in the morning, we take each pet outside one at a time for a bathroom break and some fresh air. Once everyone has had their turn, they come inside for breakfast. Indoor Time: After breakfast, pets are able to relax and enjoy time indoors in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment. They have access to toys and a TV for entertainment, along with plenty of attention and interaction throughout the day. Potty Breaks: Every couple of hours, we rotate through the pets and take them outside individually for another potty break. We continue this routine throughout the day, adjusting it based on each pet’s needs. Because we work from home and are here throughout the day, we’re very flexible. We can give pets extra potty breaks, attention, playtime, or quiet time as needed. Our goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on a routine that feels as close to home as possible. A Comfortable Home Away From Home Our kennel is designed to feel less like a traditional kennel and more like a comfortable home away from home. We have three individual kennels, each equipped with a cozy dog bed so every guest has their own comfortable space to rest. For our longer-term guests, we also have a dedicated doggy bath to help keep them clean and comfortable during their stay. During the day, pets can enjoy time indoors in our climate-controlled space, complete with a TV for entertainment and plenty of toys and attention. When it’s time to stretch their legs or take a potty break, they have access to our fenced yard where they can safely get some fresh air and movement. At night, we use a sound machine to create a calm, peaceful environment and help everyone settle in for a restful night. Because we’re home throughout the day, we’re able to give each guest individual attention and adjust their routine to fit their needs. We want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with us.

“Audrey did a great job looking after our very shy cat who likes to hide. Every day she was sure to locate her, treating her to her favorite snack and snapping photos along the way!”
“Jessie took great care of our three large dogs! They loved her and were sad when she left. She went above and beyond what I requested. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and good with them. She was dependable And sent great pictures and updates. I will definitely use her again when we go back to Taos.”
“I hired Britt for a drop-in visit for my two cats, and it was such a relief knowing he was checking on them. He made sure they were okay and had plenty of food and water. The photos he sent gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely recommend him.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pilar
“Laura was the perfect sitter for our Kiva. She and Chloe (her pup) made Kiva a part of their pack for a quick drop-in, in a moment’s notice. We are forever grateful for her affectionate care and look forward to future visits!”
“Dawn was an incredible sitter. She made my normally anxious German Shepherd feel at ease and gave her a wonderful experience playing with other dogs. Would absolutely book her again.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Pilar
“Audrey is fantastic! Our dogs appear to really enjoy her visits. She captures their individual personalities in the pictures that she sends. She is on time and spends more than our agreed upon time with our boys ❤️ She’s a life saver!! So glad we found her!”
About: I work on my laptop or phone, and can travel with it, and thus would be mostly at home with your animals. I lost my own dog in recent years, and find that I do best when I have dogs and cats to look after. I love being interrupted by a dog asking for attention and play! Walking is a joy for me. Cat cuddles are medicine. I specialize in tuning in to what anxieties need clear support and confidence to help build successful interactions. I'm all about loving and deflecting behavior towards what works. I welcome caring for animals with special dietary or medication issues. To have the company of a senior dog or a puppy is something I really look forward to. I'm editing this profile to add: I so appreciate the humans I am meeting through Rover! Pet owners that choose to hire a person to be with their animals are doing something really considerate and intentional. Thank you for loving and respecting your pets. I am enjoying meeting you all and caring for your lovelies. I organize my working rhythms around pet care. I enjoy having my work broken up with odd tasks and interruptions from animals. In general, providing pet care generally makes me more productive in other areas of my life. I like having a set walking and feeding schedule, and then everything flows from there. My work is portable on my laptop, so as long as I can have a perch to work at, I can be present for animals in the spaces they are accustomed to having company in. I do house visits, walking, and home stays. I enjoy staying overnight with animals because we can tune into each other. I try to get a sense of how the animal parent interacts with and supports their animal through daily routine, and then try to replicate that routine. I pay close attention to what they animals are saying about what they need, and what brings about their contentment.
“Callahan is calm and trustworthy. My dog enjoys the time he spends with Cal and his pack, and always comes home tired. Great communication and follow through. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Callahan for taking such good care of my boy!”
“Tania managed a very unusual request: we had her pick up our dogs from our Venue and take them back to our hotel and feed them. We messed up giving her the key and it turned a bit chaotic and she handled it excellently. Can’t thank her enough for making sure everything still got done. She’s dependable and flexible and would recommend for any pet needs!”
About: I have 6+ years of experience house-sitting and taking care of people's pets of all ages and breeds. Taking care of an animal and making them feel loved are two different things... I make sure to do both. I work remotely as a virtual assistant and content creator so my schedule is very flexible. I have two cats of my own that I get to spend all my time with. Whether it's just a drop-in or a walk, I provide you, your animal, and your home with respect, trust, and transparency. I can follow your lead and instructions while providing love to your furry friends.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life including Great Danes, cats, bunnies, gerbils, fish and have been dog and cat sitting professionally for 5 years. Recently I lived and worked on a thousand-acre farm caring for cows, horses and goats, doing everything from feeding, cleaning and even bottle feeding. Bottom line is I love pets, and would love to meet your four-legged family members!! I currently work from my computer so I am very mobile and happy to be flexible with scheduling, etc. I love spending time with all animals so I make it a priority to fit this kind of work in. *If you have multiple pets and my site is quoting a large number for your sitting request, please know I am happy to look closer and find a good price for all! If I am giving care at your home my number one priority is your animal’s safety. That’s best implemented by focusing on your (the owner’s) rules and daily routines. Once I establish that, I focus on creating a special bond with your pet—it’s like they’re getting a new friend. If I’m boarding at my house my number one priority is to create a new and special routine that reflects their home routine but with new special elements. I have a very large yard and a safe neighborhood to take pets on walks, and as long as they are happy sharing space with a cat we have a really good time!
About: I’ve taken care of my family friend’s dog for 7 years and have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, dependable, and enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available all day on Sundays and Mondays. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can provide companionship if your pet is comfortable around other animals. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable in a new environment. I will follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. If needed, I can also crate your dog to ensure they are safe and comfortable
