“Elthea and Joshua were so awesome! They were great to communicate with and very flexible. They had a big space for the doggies inside and out. My doggies loved to run around and play with their doggies. I felt so comfortable with them dogsitting for me. I will definitely use them in the future.”
“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!”
“Amanda took care of our elderly dog at her house for several days, and she did a wonderful job. She was very professional and flexible in her dealings with me. I know our dog liked the family atmosphere, the walks, and the way Amanda comforted her during thunderstorms. I would certainly take our dog to Amanda again if I get to go on another trip.”
“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.”
“Michelle had a very clean home, a great little buddy for our dog to play with, coordinated a transfer to our friends, and sent pics to help us know our buddy was happy and well taken care of when he was in her care. We would definitely leave Axel with her again.”
“This was our first time leaving our beloved dog with Kendell, and we would do it again in a minute. Kendell is warm, reliable, and she sent us cute photos and kind and informative updates daily.”
“Lily is an absolute gem! She was always prompt with communication and sent daily photos and updates throughout our dog's stay. Our dog loved her and her two very sweet dogs, Stella and Freccia. We've already booked our next stay and highly recommend her!”
“Stephanie was my first Rover sitter and I am so happy with the overall process! Cheddar is shy at first but Stephanie and her family allowed Cheddar to warm up and loved on her with lots of pets and belly rubs. I loved the photos I got throughout the day, seeing how happy she was and know she was sharing her happy gremlin sounds with Stephanie and her family. Thank you SO much!”
“Patricia was very easy to work with and was great communicating. My dog loved being at her house and getting to play with Gila and Cedar. I loved that my dog was able to have a lot of outdoor time to soak up the sunshine.”
“Calista and her roommates were amazing! They loved having my pups! With her professional expertise in animal care I felt very safe leaving them with her. She kept me updated everyday and whenever I asked with pics and videos! I can’t thank them enough! Highly recommended 100%”

About: I’ve had 3 dogs of my own and have cared for many more. I’m communicative, dependable, and will make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home, have a fenced in backyard, and take at least two long walks every day! I just might become your dog’s new best friend! I work from home so your pet can have company all day long! I am active and go for long walks every day and hikes most weekends. I live right near the river trail and Patrick Smith park. I have a fenced in backyard. I have no other pets in the house so your dog will be king/queen of the house while they’re here! I only book pet(s) from one family at a time.
“Loved Katie! She is absolutely the best! I highly recommend her for puppy care. She was in constant contact with me and sent me pictures so that I knew all was well. 5 stars!”
“Rachel did a superb job taking care of our 15 month old pup for two weeks! She went above and beyond making sure that Rio was comfortable, entertained and safe. She provided ample pics and updates. She even did puppy “artwork” with her, which we got to keep. I was amazed at this level of care, which allowed me to not worry a bit. Priceless.”
“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 😀”

“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.”

“Mel was Amazing with Margaret! They were very understanding when our plans changed and flexible with our schedule. Mel sent an update daily and very communicative! Will definitely book again! 😸”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for cats, and I’ve had the sweetest cat of my own, Chunky Milk. He had such a big personality and definitely kept me entertained! Living with him taught me that every cat has their own unique personality, routines, and little quirks. I understand that some cats are playful and social, while others need a little more time and space to warm up. I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your cat wants playtime, attention, a cozy companion, or simply someone to keep their routine on track, I’d love to give them the same love and care I gave my own Chunky Milk. 🐱🤍
“Juliette took good care of my buddy, Roger (feline)! When I returned home, my house was sparkling clean (cleaner than I left it, ha!). She also brought in my midnight Amazon purchases that arrived when I was gone. Thank you, Juliette!”
“Hannah was exceptional with my cat during her first housesitting. I could tell by the photos all was well at home. She kept in contact daily which was reassuring and was very respectful of all of my detailed kitty requests! Thank you Hannah for the kindness shown to Terra and the conscientious care of our home.”
About: Over the years, I have cared for cats with varying personalities and medical needs. I am comfortable administering both liquid and pill medications. If your cat is social, I am happy to interact and play. If your cat prefers to be alone, I am comfortable cozying up with a book and just being present.

“The second we stepped foot in Michelle’s home, we felt great about our decision to leave our dog with her. She was very communicative and prompt. Great home with lots of room for a doggo and a fenced in space outside. Or 9 lb dog seemed to get along great and play a ton with her pup. Our guy came home super tired and seemingly happy from a great day.”
“Kendell is excellent! We were worried about finding a sitter during a road trip, and we are lucky that Kendell was available to sit Bella for a couple of hours! She is very attentive and took good care of Bella, and even left us a summary of the walks she took her on and how Bella did with her dinner. We are extremely grateful!”
“We felt super comfortable leaving our pup with Lily. It was his first time being away from us on a cross country journey, and I could tell when we picked him up that he had been loved and happy the whole time.”
“Stephanie was great with our pup. He was happy and calm when we picked him up. Her place is really well suited to dogs with a great yard and cool comfy beds indoors to escape the heat. We would definitely use her again.”
“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!”
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
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.
“Eva was amazing! I would highly recommend her to watch your furbaby. She watched our sweet Lohla and sent pictures throughout the day. I can’t say enough kind words to say how thankful we were to Eva to watch our girl!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. I grew up with a dachshund and now have a Bernedoodle, so I’m comfortable with everything from little lap dogs to energetic, larger pups.

I understand the importance of clear communication, consistency, and treating every pet like a member of the family.

“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!”
“Anaissa is a true dog person and was an excellent sitter for our dog. We’re on an extended road trip and our dog has been feeling a bit stressed. Anaissa wasn’t phased and introduced our dog to others slowly. She kept us updated throughout the day, and we picked up a tired and happy pup. I highly recommend her!”

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 have a Bachelors degree in Canine Training and Management from SUNY Cobleskill. Currently, I work and train detection canines. With this background, I have experience with all kinds of pups. Including: puppies, seniors, behavioral issues, rescues, etc. I have always had dogs and couldn’t imagine my life without them! Currently, my job is very flexible so I can provide potty and play breaks often. I have a large house and yard, so lots of room to stretch out. They will be given their own room with a bed and anything requested. With my 4 pups, they will have options to make friends as well. I will always follow instructions of how my client wants their companion cared for. I am comfortable with crate time, structured schedules, and even cuddle time!

About: *Recently changed my name from Mel, to Angelo* My goal is to make sure everything is easy for you. I will take care of your animals needs, prioritizing their comfort & safety. My bond with animals has been strong since I was a child. My first experience with dogs was my Husky who used to give me chaparoned rides in the backyard as a toddler. I grew up with all sorts of pets; dogs, cats, bunnies, mice, hamsters, chickens. I cant imagine life without animals! I will take care of all your pets needs. Every animal is different. Just leave instructions, and ill take care of the rest! I will send photos throughout the stay as well :) Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m flexible and can work around you and your pets schedule. We’ll find a rhythm that works for both of us. Alongside pet sitting and house sitting, I offer energy healing sessions. Feel free to ask me more. I take care of pets in a way that feels natural for us. In your home, I stick to their usual schedule and make sure they get attention, company, and whatever they need to feel safe. I’ve got plenty of time to give, and I’m available for overnights if you’re going out of town.
About: Look no further!! I’m the answer to all your dog’s needs… I respond quickly, so please reach out. Let’s do a meet and greet ASAP!! Please read my profile and client reviews, and check out my photo gallery where you’ll see what kind of fun that your dog and I will have on a daily basis. I send tons of pictures and videos. Headed out of town?? I’d love to create a seamless stress free opportunity for you to get away. Your dog(s) can 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. If you prefer your dog to have the familiarity of your home, let’s chat about housesitting. Guaranteed fun either way. I love all dogs unconditionally. I can provide a 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 dog pack needs. Our routine is generally morning food, walk, park, play, chill, and then repeat in the evening. I work from home so I am flexible and can accommodate most needs for your pets. 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: I’ve always had a special love for animals and the outdoors. I grew up surrounded by pets and have had multiple pups throughout my life, including my two sweet Border Collies, Meko and Oppie. They brought so much joy and personality into my life, and caring for them taught me how much love, patience, and attention our pets deserve. I also have a background as a wilderness guide, so being outside and exploring nature is a huge part of who I am. I know how much dogs love getting outside, sniffing around, going on adventures, and simply enjoying the fresh air—and I’d love to give your pup that same experience! Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs for weeks at a time, so I’m comfortable taking on the responsibility of caring for a pet while their person is away. I’m attentive to their routines, personalities, and individual needs, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a friendly, easygoing spirit that animals seem to pick up on right away. Whether your pup wants an adventure, a long walk, some playtime, or simply a cozy companion to hang out with, I’m happy to be there for them. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. Pet sitting fits naturally into my day-to-day life because I love being outdoors, staying active, and having animals by my side. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether they need morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, or evening care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and adventures, but I’m also perfectly happy spending a quiet day at home keeping your pet company. My goal is to make pet care feel seamless for both you and your pet, while keeping their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’m attentive to your pet’s needs, their routine, and any special instructions you leave for me. I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet seriously and will always treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. As a wilderness guide, I’m comfortable being responsible in changing environments and staying aware of my surroundings. I’m also a big believer in clear communication, so I’ll keep you updated and let you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾
About: I have experience with all animals - farm animals, aquatic animals, dogs, cats, feral animals too. I love goats and miss my farm. I can't have animals of my own at this time and just looking for a rewarding side hustle. I find healing in the presence of animals. I'm currently available seven days a weeks - flexible and reliable. I recently have been laid off from my regular employer. I am looking for an easygoing rewarding solution. Animals could provide so much more to me than an income. Especially at this time in my life. Transition is hard but Im determined. I ensure safety and routine for your pet. I will do everything I can to ensure they are well cared for and safe in your environment or mine.

“Elthea and Joshua were so awesome! They were great to communicate with and very flexible. They had a big space for the doggies inside and out. My doggies loved to run around and play with their doggies. I felt so comfortable with them dogsitting for me. I will definitely use them in the future.”

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.”

Cheddar is shy at first but Stephanie and her family allowed Cheddar to warm up and loved on her with lots of pets and belly rubs.

“Patricia was very easy to work with and was great communicating. My dog loved being at her house and getting to play with Gila and Cedar. I loved that my dog was able to have a lot of outdoor time to soak up the sunshine.”

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.
“Jonny took excellent care of our Millie. We got lots of pictures throughout our stay and Millie was so relaxed and happy when she came home. I could tell she was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using him again!”
“It was wonderful getting videos of my dog Clio having a great time staying with Allegra and family—and then to get back to a happy and healthy Clío awaiting me. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
About: I’ve had 3 dogs of my own and have cared for many more. I’m communicative, dependable, and will make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home, have a fenced in backyard, and take at least two long walks every day! I just might become your dog’s new best friend! I work from home so your pet can have company all day long! I am active and go for long walks every day and hikes most weekends. I live right near the river trail and Patrick Smith park. I have a fenced in backyard. I have no other pets in the house so your dog will be king/queen of the house while they’re here! I only book pet(s) from one family at a time.
“Loved Katie! She is absolutely the best! I highly recommend her for puppy care. She was in constant contact with me and sent me pictures so that I knew all was well. 5 stars!”
About: I offer thoughtful, detail oriented pet care with a strong focus on consistency, safety, and communication. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, managing routines, and providing a calm presence for animals that may be anxious or sensitive to change. I am also comfortable with medication management. I take the responsibility of being in someone’s home seriously and aim to create a seamless experience both for pets and their owners. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and a high level of respect for your space. My dog, Tessie, is so important to me so I treat your pets with as much love and care that I would want her to have. My work experience includes firefighter/paramedic, ER nurse, clinic work, and am certified in Pet First Aid. I am the Clinical Director at a local free clinic. This allows me to have flexible but predictable hours each week. Because of this I can provide consistent, punctual visits with compassionate care for your pets. For house sitting I can make mid day visits so that your pets are not alone for longer than needed. I cater each experience to the needs of you and your pet. I prefer to have clear communication of your preferences so that I can ensure that you are as happy with the visit as your pets are. For house sitting, I stay in the home so pets can remain in their familiar space with minimal disruption. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and medication schedules, provide companionship throughout the day and evening, and ensure the home is cared for as well (lights, plants, mail, basic tidiness). My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent presence so pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. For in home drop-ins, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box or yard clean up, medications if needed, and quality time with each pet. I tailor each visit to the pet’s energy level and personality including playtime, short walks, or quiet companionship. I also provide updates after each visit so owners feel connected and reassured. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and needs. I prioritize leash safety, positive reinforcement, and a calm walking experience. Walks can include neighborhood routes or familiar areas your dog enjoys, or local dog parks, and I always ensure they return home settled, hydrated, and comfortable.
“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. ?”
“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!”
“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.”
