“I would highly recommend Allison to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter! She took great care of our cat for an entire week. She stays in constant communication and is really thoughtful.”


About: Hi there! I’ve been a dog sitter for a few months now and I absolutely love being able to provide care and support to my furry clients and their family. I spend most of my time with animals, if not my clients then it’s my own pets. 😊 I love to keep my clients in the loop-and provide whatever you may need to feel comfortable leaving your pets in my care. * I have two of the cutest pets in the world, a dog and cat. So if you need someone who can juggle and adapt- let’s connect! I currently am working part-time, so that gives me a lot of flexibility and time to be able to spend quality time with your pets. I have a friendly dog who would be able to keep your fur baby company, but I do have separate areas in case anyone needs space! I never leave my pets unsupervised, to make sure they don’t hurt themselves or break any furniture. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly and has an exercise area that is fenced! I like to make sure with any clients, I’m always supervising and nearby.
“Alexandria was a terrific cat sitter. She did a meet and greet and put my mind at ease— asked questions about my cats’ personalities, needs and likes and went above and beyond. She fed the cats, played with them, changed the litter and kept me updated with photos and daily notes. I highly recommend hiring her… she makes you and your pets feel like family. I was worried about having just anyone watch my cats and she isn’t just anyone; she’s amazing! Thank you, Alexandria!”

“Belem did a great job taking care of Forest while I was away. She sent great photos of him lounging in the sun and playing which was great to see since I was worried how he would be while I was gone. Forest seems very happy and clearly enjoyed her visits. Would absolutely recommend and book again!”

“Adirah is awesome! So sweet on our meet up she definitely assured me my kitty would be in good hands. Throughout the visit she took plenty of update pictures of him eating and playing alot. I strongly recommend her to anyone! I will message her first next time we need go on a mini vacation.”

“Mel was seriously so amazing in taking care of my kitties Orca & Ellie. We are so grateful! Lots of attention to detail and that in itself translates to being so caring and loving to my babies. Thank you SO much!! We appreciate you!”

“Alyssa did amazing! My request was short notice and she was able to accommodate her schedule time to drop in with Pongo. Loved the updates, and she has a great communication. Thank you so much for helping.”

“Kaylin takes excellent care of my two dogs. She is very reliable making her visits. She spends time with them and plays ball with my bigger dog. I rely on her as often as I csn when planning time away from home. Kaylin is a superb choice for in home pet visits.”

About: I love animals and have always had them in my household, ever since I was a baby. I have great experience taking care of my own babies as well as friends’. I am the biggest animal lover known to my loved ones! I am currently unemployed and am hoping to make this a full-time gig. I think this would be a job that suits me the most as I love to care for pets. I will take care of your pet as asked of me. I can come over, feed, water, play, and walk with your pet. I will give them lots of love and pets!!
“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.”

“Excellent communication and Ignacio took wonderful care of my pets while I was out of town! He provided updates twice a day and photos as well. All the cats bowls and litter boxes were kept neat and tidy. Really a wonderful and friendly sitter! Highly recommend”

“Hannah left us an amazing update with lots of pictures and details about her drop in visit. She was wonderful and helped us out last minute when we had a wedding to attend.”

“Paige was wonderful with Maisie, she’s a rescue dog and very nervous. Paige was very patient. We will be booking Paige again so that Maisie can get to know her better in order for her to house sit when we need to be away over night.”
“Melisa was prompt and communicative, responded quickly to a last minute booking request that came up for unexpectedly - overall a great experience. I would book again when the opportunity arises.”

“They took excellent care of our 16 yo Chihuahua and 8 yo cat! They were very thorough, always refilled food/water, gave treats, played with them, made sure they had potty time, and even brought in packages left outside. Definitely recommend booking these two if you want peace of mind your pets will be well cared for.”
“Megan has been a wonderful auntie to our new puppy! She comes to our home for about four hours each day and we feel completely confident leaving our pup in her care. She makes sure our girl is fed, taken outside for potty breaks multiple times, and cared for with lots of love. Our experience has been excellent, and we’re so grateful for her help”

Connie was the absolute best dog sitter I could’ve asked for! I wish I could still have her as my sitter when I go to move to my next duty station. Connie has helped me these last six months, with having a busy, chaotic schedule. She goes above and beyond! She’s reliable, trustworthy, and always willing to help in any way she can! Scooby absolutely loved her, and I’m so grateful I found a trusted sitter for his crazy self. She’s literally the best!!

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! 🤍🐾

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!

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.

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.

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.
