“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.”
“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.”
“Amanda was great. She is very friendly it is easy to see she is a dog lover. Amanda was very accommodating with my family emergency and my pups were looked after well. I will definitely look to her first next time.”

“We needed a place for Finnley for a long holiday weekend. He absolutely enjoyed his college visit and came back with a higher education and some new tricks. Isabella was incredibly responsive and flexible with our schedule while taking amazing care of Finn and keeping us updated about his adventures. We think he is excited to go back and visit his new feline friend Prince.”
“I give Gavin the highest recommendation! He is the best! My puppy loved being with Gavin and Wana, who is Gavin's gentle and good-natured boxer. Gavin took really good and thorough care of my puppy. I totally trust him to make good choices. My puppy gave Gavin many "kisses" when we left. I will always call Gavin to board my pup if I have to go out of town!”
“Booking and boarding with Angel was great! Angel is a very caring, communicative and a considerate sitter all while hosting a pleasant environment for the pooches. My dog was in good hands!”
“Melinda was a fantastic dog sitter for Walter! He immediately felt right at home, even sitting on top of her laundry. She was great with providing us updates and Walter really enjoyed her yard and the other pups she was watching. Would absolutely have her watch Walter again!”
“Patricia was a great dog sitter for our Gracie. Gracie was well cared for and had a blast playing with Patricia’s dogs Gila and Cedar. Gracie came back to us happy, content and tired! We could tell she had a lot of fun and attention. Patricia has a big yard and good dog sense and I wouldn’t hesitate to board Gracie there again.”

About: I provide attentive, loving care and treat every dog like my own. I’m patient, reliable, and very observant, which helps me quickly pick up on each dog’s routine, personality, and needs. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and crate training, as well as senior dogs who may need extra patience, slower walks, medications, or special diets. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent schedules, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and plenty of attention. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and I’m flexible with walks, medications, and special care needs. My routine is calm and structured, making it especially ideal for puppies who need consistency and for senior dogs who benefit from a relaxed, attentive environment. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family with a calm, safe environment, regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow any training rules, dietary needs, and medication schedules closely. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and giving affection and companionship. I also make sure the home is respected—bringing in mail, cleaning up after pets, and keeping everything tidy. I always provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
“Katie is wonderful!!! I was traveling for work away from my usual support group for my dog, and Katie instantly made me feel at ease. She’s kind, patient, and and great with anxious dogs like mine! 10/10 would recommend if your dog needs a friend in Santa Fe!”
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
“Our little guy Fergus had a delightful time with Patris. He can be a bit standoffish when meeting new people for the first time, but when we got home it was clear that Patris is his new BFF. And, we/he loved having Seandarby visit as well. Thank you Patris!!”
“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.”
About: I worked for ADW where I trained service dogs. High passion for animals. Walk, bathe, feed and train etc. I have four years of experience. I'm currently home from college for the summer and am working part-time. I have plenty of time to dog walk, dog sit, overnight etc. Available weekdays and weekends anytime. I don't have a fenced yard but can take your dog out on a leash. My home is pet friendly. I am willing to go to your home. Able to fit needs.
“Sue was the PERFECT sitter for our pup. She’s sweet, kind, and professional. She’s easy to communicate with and took time for my dog to become comfortable. My dog seemed to love her time there, especially playing with the other sweet dog. We’re so thankful we found Sue to care for our dog.”
“Russell provided my mini Sheepadoodle Sophie with a perfect day. She was happy and well taken care of. When Her raincoat was left there he tried numerous times to return it; unfortunately, my email was locked and I didn’t get the message on time. He is now mailing the raincoat to my home. I highly recommend Russell to anyone needing a dog sitter in Santa Fe.”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life so I understand the basics of training and taking care of them. I currently have an orange tabby named Prince who gets along super well with other dogs and cats! No worries if your pet doesn’t get along with others though, I can also have other people watch him while yours stays. I can care for pets whenever, I have classes throughout the week but since I stay on campus I’m never more than 5 minutes walking distance away from my dorm. On average I have about 3 hours of classes per week day so I’m home the rest of the time. I will be able to board always and do dog walks any day of the week. I have reliable transportation as well. My dorm is quite large so I have space to take care of pets, as well as toys and food and a litter box for cats if you can’t bring yours. I also live in a very outdoorsy campus so I can take dogs on long nature walks.

“Angel takes such great care of our pup! She’s quick to respond and flexible with our schedule. Can tell from the pictures she sends that our dog is happy and enjoys walks with Angel.”
About: I love all animals and have extensive experience with cats and dogs, from personally owning them myself to volunteering with local shelters. I have done it all. I am pretty flexible. My daily routine already includes taking care of my 5 rescue cats, which includes feeding them and cleaning their litter areas. I like to make sure I make the pets feel at ease however I can. I know this experience can be anxiety-inducing, and I am patient with all kinds of personalities.

“McKenzie replied promptly. When we had our meet-up she had insightful questions. I was happy to learn she trains dogs. We have a camera, and she was very aware of our anxious dog’s cues when she came to walk him, and greeted him at his pace. He warmed up to her well.”
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 am 36 years old. I enjoy an active lifestyle including meditation, hiking, yoga, bike riding, snowboarding, bowling, walking, and dancing. I have spent over 15 years in New Mexico. I also had my own clients for dog walking, day sitting and house sitting for a year and half prior to becoming a mom in 2018. I have been responsible to give medicine to dogs and am organized to follow regular daily care while you are out. When away from your fur babies, I love to send updates and pictures of where or what we are doing together. I’m a single mom and hoping to help people with their babies and make new connections in the community. Looking forward to meeting you and your babies.
About: I have grown up with dogs and have always had a deep love for taking care of them. I was born into a family of two dog-loving parents and a yellow lab named Sammy. Since then, we've had a male Lhaso Apso named Tony, a female Chow Chow mix named Ana, and currently a male Wheaten Terrier named Sonny. There has literally never been a moment in my life where I did not own a dog, and since 2010 I have also volunteered at the New Rochelle Humane Society (walking, feeding, and socializing the cats and dogs). I truly know the ins and outs of dog care like the back of my hand -- its more than a job for me, its my lifestyle, and I hope that I can share my lifestyle with your and your furry friend! As of 2024 I currently live in Santa Fe, NM and am offering my dog walking and drop in services in the area, and I am also offering petsitting services in both Santa Fe and Taos. UPDATE 12/26/24 I will be in New York City for the holidays and am offering walking and sitting services here until January 16 2025 I work freelance, which means I have a lot of time to spend at home with your pet. I structure my day around the needs of each animal, and can work with even the most demanding schedule. I always make sure the client's home is as clean as it was when I first arrived, and that all doors are locked with animals inside. I pay a lot of attention to the physical and mental state of animals, and if I see they're overheating or in any state of distress I will do everything in my power to make them feel better.
About: I have experience working with animals as a kennel tech at a vet hospital. I’ve owned pets ever since I was little, and I’m experienced with both cats and dogs. I work full time but am WFH flexible so I can stay at home all day whenever I like! I am free any day of the week! I live in an apartment but near enough to a park to walk around in often! I currently have one cat living with me who is dog friendly.
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: I have taken care of dogs since I was able to hold a leash. My dogs are my big babies. (Literally) I enjoy being around dogs of all sizes.

“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.”
“Amanda was great. She is very friendly it is easy to see she is a dog lover. Amanda was very accommodating with my family emergency and my pups were looked after well. I will definitely look to her first next time.”
“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!”
“We needed a place for Finnley for a long holiday weekend. He absolutely enjoyed his college visit and came back with a higher education and some new tricks. Isabella was incredibly responsive and flexible with our schedule while taking amazing care of Finn and keeping us updated about his adventures. We think he is excited to go back and visit his new feline friend Prince.”
“I give Gavin the highest recommendation! He is the best! My puppy loved being with Gavin and Wana, who is Gavin's gentle and good-natured boxer. Gavin took really good and thorough care of my puppy. I totally trust him to make good choices. My puppy gave Gavin many "kisses" when we left. I will always call Gavin to board my pup if I have to go out of town!”
“Booking and boarding with Angel was great! Angel is a very caring, communicative and a considerate sitter all while hosting a pleasant environment for the pooches. My dog was in good hands!”
“Melinda was a fantastic dog sitter for Walter! He immediately felt right at home, even sitting on top of her laundry. She was great with providing us updates and Walter really enjoyed her yard and the other pups she was watching. Would absolutely have her watch Walter again!”
“Patricia was a great dog sitter for our Gracie. Gracie was well cared for and had a blast playing with Patricia’s dogs Gila and Cedar. Gracie came back to us happy, content and tired! We could tell she had a lot of fun and attention. Patricia has a big yard and good dog sense and I wouldn’t hesitate to board Gracie there again.”
“Stef was amazing!!! She cared so much for our dogs while they were with her. I am a nervous dog mom so I’m concerned any time my “kids” aren’t with me BUT Stef made it easy. She sent lots of updates to let me know what they were up to and how they were doing. She was also very flexible with us as our schedule changed. Stef was exceedingly patient and always willing to help our family. We would be grateful for the opportunity to leave our dogs with her again! 10 out of 5 stars! 😁”
“Michelle was a terrific dog sitter, caring, attentive and I know my dog enjoyed his time at her house. She sent photos daily which I appreciated and her dog and mine got along great. Thanks so much!”

“Keno enjoyed boarding at Ian’s. He loved playing with another dog who was boarding and Ian. He came home happy, calm & took a long nap! Thank you. We will do this again.”
“Tami went above and beyond when one of our dogs, staying for over a week, was not on her best behavior. Tami coached her and soothed her until she finally calmed down. (It took a few days!!). There is a large yard and Tami is very experienced with all kinds of dogs, and she communicates extremely well. I highly recommend Tami.”
“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.”
