“Alison was the best! She was very communicative and ensured she understood each of my three basset hounds’ quirks, including one with special needs. She was very enthusiastic about caring for them and included pictures of her stay (which really warms my heart when I am missing them). I would definitely ask for her again and certainly recommend her to a friend.”
About: I have been helping family take care of more senior animals as well as new born animals who need extra care, like bottle feedings and heating lamps. I also just love to be able to take them out for walks and hang out with them. Making them the most comfortable. I work part time remotely so I will have plenty of time for any needs that need to be met with your furry family!!! I can board in my home only on the weekends, however in home care I can do any day of the week!! In clients home there are many things to be able to keep the pet safe and in my home there is two cats to keep your pet company as well.

About: With four years as a Veterinary Technician and 33 years of dog ownership, I bring unmatched experience and care to every pup. My two pampered German Shorthaired Pointers are proof of my dedication to their happiness and wellbeing. From recognizing health concerns to providing plenty of love and attention, I go above and beyond for your furry family members. As a fully remote worker, my schedule is flexible and open, allowing me to provide attentive care and accommodate your pets needs. Whether it's morning, midday, or evening walks, I'm available to ensure your furry friend gets the exercise and attention they deserve. In my home, my pets are treated like family. They have safe spaces to relax, cozy napping spots, and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I ensure they feel secure and loved with lots of cuddles and attention. In a clients home, I would provide the same level of care and comfort. I prioritize safety by respecting your routines, ensuring your pet has access to their favorite spaces, toys, and comforts, and always keeping their wellbeing my top priority. Trust and love are at the heart of everything I do for pets!
About: I have had a dog since I was five, giving me many years of experience taking care of and cleaning up after a dog. I have also had many friends and neighbors with dogs, and I always love getting to spend time with their pets! I have trained my dog as well as a couple of other puppies to do some tricks. I have also had experience with administering different kinds of medication to my dog, such as eye drops, oral medications, or tick meds. I am currently in school, but I can work in walks and drop-in visits to help you care for your pups! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am willing to travel to you and take your dog out for a walk and playtime, or feed them. I am also willing to administer medications to them if necessary and care for senior dogs. Overall, I want to provide your dogs a good time!
“This is my 3rd time using Odalys H. for my kitty care. I am very grateful for their service and that I can depend on them to be responsible and caring with my babies.”
About: I’ve really gotten to know the ins and outs of being an animal mom. I also got to spend my day caring for other people’s fur babies in my job as a vet tech. All these wonderful things combined give me a wealth of crucial experience that keeps your mind at ease knowing your kiddos are well cared for in your absence. Now that I’m permanently WFH, all I need is a reliable wifi connection to work from anywhere— including while I hang out with your fur baby! I wake up, let the fur kids out, feed breakfast, and before I started WFH, we’d all pile in the car to go to the park before work. Then, we’d spend the day together at the clinic. After that, we’d head home for dinner and a nice long walk before bed. My life has always revolved around my four legged kids! I like to establish guidelines with each owner regarding their pets schedule. Dogs and cats love routines, and part of pet sitting is to fit into what the animal is used to so that they don’t feel stress or uneasiness while their owner is away. I always work with the owner to find out what best works to keep the pet comfortable and feeling secure in their absence.
“Kristi has dropped in on my fur baby a few times. Quick responses, good communication, flexible and always on time. I would recommend Kristi if ur looking for care with your animals.”
“Adriana was a great help and looked after my pup. On time and was willing to adjust and work with me considering my difficult schedule. I highly recommend and will be rebooking in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds ever since I was 12 years old. I’ve had my own pets since I was 5 and enjoy getting to love on all kinds of animals. I have had many families over the years rely on me to take care of their pets and accommodate their animals needs! I enjoy getting to do something I love while also being able to help someone else out. I currently work a full time. I work 8-4 in office and Friday’s from home. Other than that my schedule is flexible and I can accommodate to the dogs needs as best as possible! Also I have weekends off ! I do have a dog of my own so I only take on house sitting jobs where the animal is comfortable being around my dog as well. In your home I will take care of anything that is asked! I will walk the dog around my work schedule as best I can, I will feed and bathe if needed as well! I enjoy playing with them and giving them the attention they deserve so I will be very honest and straight forward if I feel I cannot accommodate a dogs needs because I care about them! In my home I have a fenced backyard to ensure their safety when playing outside.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alamo Heights
We had a wonderful experience with Katie! She took such great care of Ivy and Floki and kept us updated throughout each visit, which meant so much to us. It’s never easy leaving your pets behind, but Katie made us feel completely at ease. We came home to two happy pups and couldn’t be more grateful. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again in the future! 🤍🐾
Meeting with Bailey and Minnie Pearl went off without a hitch. She was so excited to meet Bailey and to share her favorite toys. As for me, it was instant trust, and I couldn’t be happier with Bailey. They played together and even took a brief walk while still learning the leash. Bailey was sweet and caring and has a positive energy and enthusiasm. I highly recommend her for your pet!
Very communicative! Received lots of photos and videos. Knowledgable of dog breeds and GDV. It was nice knowing she is as observant as I am. I have a food reactive dog and she followed feeding instructions perfectly. It brought me a lot of comfort knowing Anna was looking after them. Will book her again!
Connie did an amazing job checking in on Ollie while I’ve been out of town! I loved all the photos and updates she sent, it really gave me peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. I’m sure Ollie enjoyed her company and all the attention she gave him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Sara has been such a great sitter for my furry babies! They were well taken care of, happy and relaxed! My cat, Obi, is not one to warm up easily to people, but Sara managed to get him to engage with her, come out for pics and even got him to show off his pancake routine, belly exposed. My dog, Nala, also seemed very happy with the care, walks and play time. I loved how I got timely updates, pictures in which my pets looked happy and relaxed, gave me a lot of peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Sara for all the other pet parents and we’ll 100% rebook!
Angelica goes above and beyond to care for my animals (cat and dog). They absolutely adore her and I have complete faith in her for caring for my pets. I love being able to take trips and not have any worries about the care my pets are getting since I know they’re in great hands!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alamo Heights stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Alamo Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Alamo Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
