Personalized care for your dog or cat - Rowe
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Rowe
“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 did an amazing job with our two senior dogs. One of them was having serious stomach upset when they were dropped off. Not only did Angel wash both dogs who were starting to become malodorous, but she helped stabilize Bella by monitoring her diet. They also were dropped off without their coats and Angel provided a sweater for my more fragile dog. Angel went above and beyond to make my dogs comfortable and heartily recommend her.”
“Stephanie was wonderful for our first time using Rover! She was incredibly communicative and sent plenty of photos and updates during the four hours our dog, Fredo, was with her. Fredo has significant vision and hearing deficits along with high anxiety, and Stephanie was so patient in trying to navigate his unique needs. While the environment ultimately wasn’t the right fit for Fredo’s specific anxiety, I could tell he was in caring hands. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone in the Santa Fe area looking for an attentive, responsive, and kind sitter!”
“Tami was awesome. This was our first experience with boarding a dog and it couldn’t have been better. Tami was communicative and professional from the meet and greet through pick up. She provided updates and a daily picture. We will definitely use Tami for future needs.”
“Oban loves being at Melinda’s. We are thankful to her family (her brother Julian) helped look after Oban and her for taking such good care of him. Highly recommend her.”
“We are absolutely over the moon with the attention that Jalali gave to our two large dogs. We did two days of daycare with him before they had several night stay. Each time we pulled up to his beautiful, fully fenced in rural property they would get so excited and they knew they were in for a grand adventure, he was wonderful about exercising them and letting them have their down chill time while he worked from home. Jalali was very responsive and communicative with photos messages and I felt that my girls were in good hands. Jalai will be our go to Dog Sitter when we are back in town , I am very grateful and thankful that he took such good care of our dogs.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kendell was wonderful with our dog Bill. She was very communicative and responsive with us. She was so kind and gentle that Bill was comfortable with her immediately. She sent us pictures and updates and left us feeling secure in knowing that Bill was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and would book with her again when in Santa Fe.”
“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.”
“Ian took such good care of our Max. He went on walks and a car ride (Max lives a car ride!), so Max had the best day. Thanks for being available at the last minute and for taking care of Max!”
“Rune worked with me on a short notice and was fantastic with our dogs to make them feel right at home. They are extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and first aid which made me feel comfortable leaving Moose and Leo for a whole week. I'll definitely be using Rune's services in the future!”
“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.”

Cat caregivers near you - Rowe
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: 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: 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 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.
“hannah is the best! I always feel so at ease knowing she’s taking great care of my boy. she always sends updates and photos and videos. she’s kind and caring and leaves my house clean and my cat happy!”
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rowe
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 WONDERFUL with our pup!! She took amazing care of her, and kept her safe within her home, while providing great exercise. She updated me frequently throughout the day, and we will definitely work with her again in the future :)”

“Stephanie and her boys were everything I could have asked for in a pet sitter and Rover experience! 🐶💜 Stephanie was wonderful and knew how to be attentive to my recent rescue and slightly nervous pup, Bella. Bella settled in really quickly and had the best day. I was so happy to see how happy she was when I picked her up at the end of the day. I would highly recommend Stephanie for pet sitting services. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for pet sitting so Bella can have more best days! Thank you so much Stephanie! Bella and I are both so grateful for your standard of care and concern. 💜”
About: I am a reliable and compassionate pet sitter with experience in caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I can provide in-home pet sitting services, overnight stays, including feeding and walking. My pets and I have a consistent daily routine. We enjoy morning and evening walks around our pet-friendly apartment community, plenty of playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day to keep everyone happy and active. Your pet will be treated like family in a clean, calm, and safe apartment environment. I provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love, ensuring they feel comfortable, relaxed, and secure during their stay.
“Melissa was great! We were able to book her on short notice while visiting from out of town. She sent us tons of photos which we really appreciated. Easy to communicate with. And even made yogurt treats for our pup. Will definitely use 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
“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!”
“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.”

Pet care is an important part of my weekly routine. I dedicate time to exercise, feeding, and monitoring pets’ health, ensuring they get the attention and care they need every day. This routine helps me stay connected with animals and maintain my skills in handling different needs, from playful puppies to senior pets requiring extra support. I provide attentive care by staying in owners’ homes or doing daily check-ins, ensuring pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for in their own environment.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for over 9 years and absolutely adore being around them. I can work on basic trainings for puppies, play hard with them, or give them the long walk they need. For senior dogs, I love to give them all the snuggles and pets they need :) seeing them happy makes me happy. Im currently working part time and have a very flexible work schedule, leaving plenty of time to let your dog out, play, or walk your pup during weekdays. Safety is huge when it comes to me watching your pup. Depending on your dog and safety protocols, I will follow them strictly (only allowed in a fenced yard, always leashed on a walk, etc).

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 did an amazing job with our two senior dogs. One of them was having serious stomach upset when they were dropped off. Not only did Angel wash both dogs who were starting to become malodorous, but she helped stabilize Bella by monitoring her diet. They also were dropped off without their coats and Angel provided a sweater for my more fragile dog. Angel went above and beyond to make my dogs comfortable and heartily recommend her.”
“Stephanie was wonderful for our first time using Rover! She was incredibly communicative and sent plenty of photos and updates during the four hours our dog, Fredo, was with her. Fredo has significant vision and hearing deficits along with high anxiety, and Stephanie was so patient in trying to navigate his unique needs. While the environment ultimately wasn’t the right fit for Fredo’s specific anxiety, I could tell he was in caring hands. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone in the Santa Fe area looking for an attentive, responsive, and kind sitter!”
“Tami was awesome. This was our first experience with boarding a dog and it couldn’t have been better. Tami was communicative and professional from the meet and greet through pick up. She provided updates and a daily picture. We will definitely use Tami for future needs.”
“Oban loves being at Melinda’s. We are thankful to her family (her brother Julian) helped look after Oban and her for taking such good care of him. Highly recommend her.”
“We are absolutely over the moon with the attention that Jalali gave to our two large dogs. We did two days of daycare with him before they had several night stay. Each time we pulled up to his beautiful, fully fenced in rural property they would get so excited and they knew they were in for a grand adventure, he was wonderful about exercising them and letting them have their down chill time while he worked from home. Jalali was very responsive and communicative with photos messages and I felt that my girls were in good hands. Jalai will be our go to Dog Sitter when we are back in town , I am very grateful and thankful that he took such good care of our dogs.”
“Ian took such good care of our Max. He went on walks and a car ride (Max lives a car ride!), so Max had the best day. Thanks for being available at the last minute and for taking care of Max!”
“Rune worked with me on a short notice and was fantastic with our dogs to make them feel right at home. They are extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and first aid which made me feel comfortable leaving Moose and Leo for a whole week. I'll definitely be using Rune's services in the future!”
“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.”
“Charity is great. She has taken of my dog for the pass and he is absolutely excited to go visit Charity and her dog Oatmeal. She takes the dogs on regular daily walks and takes the dogs to the park.”
“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ashleigh was amazing! We had to board our dog for the weekend and she did a great job. She sent pictures and he was happy as can be when I picked him up. It was the first time boarding him with someone and we will be using her services again!”
“Mark was very kind and took great care of Piper. He sent me pics and took her for walks and trips to the dog park. He was good at communicating. I felt Piper was in good hands and I would definitely book with him again in the future.”
“Tara provided a perfect “home away from home” for our cocker. 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!”
