Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ranchos de Taos
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ranchos de Taos
“We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter on Rover! Our dog Homer was absolutely spoiled with love and care while staying with her. She took him on walks twice a day, gave him plenty of belly rubs, and he had full access to her large backyard—which he loved. He also got along great with her dog, which made the experience even better. When we came to pick him up, he was so happy and relaxed… honestly, he looked a little reluctant to leave! It was clear he felt right at home. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for treating Homer like one of your own!”
“Chandra is a gem of a petsitter, look no further! Chandra and our pup Tiba hit it off from the moment they met and Tiba is usually slow to warm up to new people. Tiba had the best stay; she had personal cuddle and playtime with Chandra, a great hike with other pups and a heavenly bone basket in which she sampled every bone! Chandra sent lots of pics to us with updates (as we the parents were having separation anxiety!). Tiba on the other hand, was too busy having a great time to miss us and came home very content. We will be back!”
“Sara was kind and welcoming to both Hallie and myself. I truly believe Hallie was sweetly loved and nurtured by Sara while I took an overnight getaway. I have much confidence and trust in her with an upcoming week in which Sara will care for Hallie.”
“Lita was great with our dog! She sent several pictures of him enjoying his stay and playing with other dogs! We would definitely leave him with her again, she took really good care of him!”

“Holly was great! She was very attentive to my two cats while I was away. She took notes about their care, checked in daily with pictures, and was very flexible and easy to work with when my travel plans changed.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have two of my own. I have experience volunteering for animal shelters and can handle meds, clean up, walks, or assistance for special needs animals. I am insured with Pet Sitters Associates. While in my care, your fur babies are my highest priority and I will love them as if they were my own! I’m currently on a sabbatical from work and am available most days during the week. After taking care of my own, I am free for walks and play starting at 8:30am until 6pm. Peace of mind, pet safety, and your pets contentment is my highest priority and I will follow the exact instructions provided by the pet owner.
“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!”
“Jackie was incredible. It was the first time traveling away from my cats that I was 100% relaxed and confident in the care they were receiving. She's thoughtful, thorough, and it's evident she has a way with animals. I have a cat who has -never- come out for a sitter, even familiar sitters, even after a week or two during longer trips, but after just 2 days with Jackie, my scaredy cat was less timid and not hiding. I'm so impressed with her. Thank you!”
“Kailey was the best cat sitter for our 5 month old kitten Cora! Cora has never been home alone before but Kailey made it a great experience for everyone and made sure to send us text and picture updates everytime she stopped by. A great first Rover experience for us and Cora.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who cares for every pet as though they’re my own. From energetic pups to shy cats, I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I offer flexible hours, plenty of walks, and reliable care. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. I schedule time each morning and evening for walks, feeding, play, and check-ins, making sure every pet gets consistent attention, comfort, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walking, and playtime at their usual times. I keep their space clean, provide plenty of affection and attention, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect that all animals are sensitive and have unique needs. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm environment with regular exercise, cozy rest areas, and presence to make sure they’re happy and healthy. If I provide services at your home, I ask that you please remove any plug-in air fresheners and minimize synthetic incense/fragrances.
“We are very fortunate to have Katia T. in our family. Her love for animals makes us very comfortable to leave Katia T. with our precious miniature Dachshunds. Katia looked after Ray and Rosalie Sunday night. It was a same day request. While we were gone we received timely updates and pictures of the dogs lounging comfortably next to Katia T. We highly recommend Katia T. and will use her services again in the future.”
About: I am blessed to have grown up on a farm, raising horses, miniature goats, barn cats, and dogs. Due to this upbringing I was able to learn how to make a kindred relationship with all types of animals. I understand how important your pet is to you and work hard to treat them as if they were my own. When watching your pet, I will treat them to daily walks, rubs, treats, and a bath if desired, giving your pet their own mini vacation while you get to enjoy yours.
About: Self-identified nature and animal lover, in transition from attorney to chaplaincy and mindfulness meditation teacher. I have cared for dogs for over 20 years, from zoomie puppies to slow-moving seniors. I am comfortable administering medication and feeding whatever combo of kibble+/-wet food your pup enjoys. Belly rubs and nature walks are always on offer. All are welcome here. I am home full-time and am able to supervise, care for and play with the dogs throughout the day. We begin each morning with an early one to five mile hike depending on energy levels and weather. The remainder of the day is free time to play, nap, repeat. Meals are usually at 8am and 4pm. In our home: Your dog will have free range of our entire home and fully-fenced acre with access to fresh drinking water at all times. There are several dog beds and toys around the house. Our resident pup Poppy is happy to share! Note: My doggie day care rate covers up to six daytime hours (between 8am - 6pm). We can add more time (starting at +$20) so you don't have to rush doing fun human-only activities. Special requests are always welcome.
About: Growing up on a farm, I developed hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from livestock to household pets. Today, I extend that care to my friends’ pets whenever they need support, looking after everything from dogs and cats to more unique companions like snakes and chickens. My lifelong connection to animals has given me the skills and intuition needed to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a part-time web designer and content creator, I work primarily online, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible schedule. Since I set my own hours, I can easily accommodate pet care, always making time for dog walks, cat brushing, and any other needs. My adaptable routine ensures consistent and attentive care for all pets. I’ve had experience both welcoming pets into my home and house-sitting for others. I’m based in Taos, where there’s a fenced yard and access to great hikes nearby. If I stay at your home, you can expect it to be well-cared for, left clean, and I can also manage tasks like plant care as needed. NOTE for boarding: I do have a cat. Any visiting dogs must be cat-friendly and respect cat boundaries.
“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.”
About: I offer gentle, dependable care shaped around each cat’s personality, routine and comfort level. I understand that cats often need patience, consistency and space to build trust. I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep litter areas clean, respect each cat’s boundaries and make time for play, affection or quiet companionship based on what they prefer. You’ll receive clear updates and photos while you’re away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ranchos de Taos
“Adelita was incredible. Our puppy absolutely adored her right from the start, and came back a happy boy. She went above and beyond, took him to the park, and let him play with her dogs at home. She worked on training with him and gave him treats to reward him. She was willing to pick our puppy up and drop him back off with us, making our plans for the day so much easier. She also took the sweetest pictures of our puppy so we could see how his day went. Highly recommend!!!!”

“Priscilla was above and beyond amazing helping me with my dogs while I was in town working. She’s always on time and very communicative. She graciously gave me tons of info about the town and best places to walk my dogs. I will def be using her the next time I’m here.”
“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!”
“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!”
“You can't put a price on piece of mind. As an overt protective pet parent, it is hard to let strangers take care of my 2 pups. Holly helped arrange an introduction ahead of time, she was flexible, and most importantly, she was everything she said she would be with my furry babies. 1 of my pups is blind and a little selective with his love. When Holly walked in the door, she sat on the floor with them, and he immediately curled up in her lap. It was so special to see. I am so grateful to have Holly as piece of mind. THANK YOU!!!!!”
“Mikayla is an absolute life saver. Not only was she kind, our meatball loved her. She was punctual, communicative and flexible. She went above and beyond. My first time using rover I was a little skeptical but Mikayla surpassed all expectations. Absolutely can not wait to use her again.”
About: Reliable pet caregiver with a genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets in home settings, including daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, calm environment. I am currently changing careers and have lots of flexibility. Dogs are part of my everyday life as I have 2 of them at home. My partner is retired and provides constant care to our dogs, allowing me to be available for pet sitting outside the home. I am not looking to pet sit in my home. I am interested in pet sitting outside the home. My home has a full fenced yard, and my dogs have free access to the yard and home.
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals — they intuitively trust me and I’ve loved them my whole life. I grew up with a Great Pyrenees mix, so I’m super comfortable with big, fluffy, gentle giants, and I’ve always been the friend people call when they need someone reliable to watch their dogs. From puppies to elderly dogs, I've cared for them all. (I also have a huge soft spot for farm dogs!) Pets tend to warm up to me quickly, and I treat every animal with the same love, calmness, and care I gave my own. I'm currently in-between jobs and am available for pet care:) I'd love to make taking care of your pet part of my day! Availability is open. I’m very adaptable and will care for your pet however you need me to. I’m happy to follow your routines, preferences, and any special instructions so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
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.

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.

“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’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!

I am a spiritual teacher with a psychology background, I am a mother of four grown children. I have always had pets, and could not imagine my life without them, I make my own schedule and hours and can work from anywhere. I am available. I have wide open spaces to walk, on a leash, if they have good recall we will learn to trust each other before we go off leash. I
