About: I have owned animals most of my life. I had my first horse when I was 10 and my first dog when I was 12. Since then I have always had 1 and up to 4 pets at a time. I have had both dogs and cats, and still do. I have raised several puppies, but now I only adopt older dogs. When I travel, I always prefer for someone to come to my house where my pets feel the most comfortable and safe. Therefor my services are to stay with your pet/pets at their home. I am semi retired and need to stay active and engaged. I strive to schedule everyone's needs, but will not over promise and under deliver. Currently I am open 7 days a week for walking, sitting or play dates. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I live in a condominium with a small yard for the dogs to enjoy. Nevertheless, they still need more activity and stimulation so they still get daily walks. Olive the cat, comes and goes as she pleases, but is well fed and knows her love is here. All of my animals come from a rescue organization or the Animal Defense League. They are well loved, fed 2x a day, sleep on furniture and my bed with me, and of course taken on walks daily. I also, have a groomer that comes to the casa to bath and manicure them as they feel most secure with her than going to a grooming location. All of my pets are female, and have regular visits to the vet for the necessities.
About: I have always taken care of friends’ pets (mostly dogs) since college. At most, there have been 3 dogs in my care but have the capacity to have more of needed. Cats are welcomed. I’m a gentle soul when it comes to animals. They have feelings just like humans do and want cared. Walking bigger dogs is speciality but I have experience with all size dogs. I am a full time personal trainer & CrossFit coach, so I more flexibility for pet care. I can spend time with them and walk them throughout the dad I care for clients with upmost respect. Chatting with clients on behaviors of the pets is important to me. Helps understand how each pet should be cared for. I want make sure they are comfortable at all times and continue to get the same love that their owners give them. I cannot have pets in my own due my partner allergies. With that being said, clients’ home are sacred and I respect that, so I would not break trust with owners and make their home is the way they left it.
“Diana was a dream! So glad Louie and Lola had such a wonderful sitter while we were away. Super attentive and great communication throughout. Just purr-fect! 🐱”
About: My first word was Dog. Really. I've been an animal lover my whole life, bringing home wounded pigeons and stay dogs anytime the opportunity presented itself. I have volunteered in animal shelters and foster based rescues, managed a doggie daycare and have a certificate in the Human-Animal Connection while obtaining my MSW. I have had two CGC working therapy dogs and dabbled in flyball for a heartbeat. Now as a professional photographer who loves being my own boss, I'm excited to offer my experience to help eas your mind while you're away from your pets. Working from home and being a small business owner my schedule is flexible and revolves around my kids. I am often free during mornings, afternoons and evenings for visits as well as weekend care. I very much believe in a partnership with pets. These little furry (or hairless) beings have their own likes and dislikes just like us! My hope is to always respect that as well as the home you've created for your family.
“Been booking Mr Mel every week since I've found him, he's so amazing with our extremely hyper Doberman, we appreciate you more than ever man, he always goes above and beyond!”
About: I can't remember a time I didn't have a pet, since childhood. My childhood dog's name was Wallstreet and our cat was Clara. My dog Leia is my first dog as an independent adult. I've had her for 10 years. I started a cleaning business since 2019 and my clientele grew from word of mouth from people I would house sit and pet sit for since 2016. During that time I also cared for a woman with dementia for two years, checking on her twice a day, cleaning, going on outings, and giving meds. I still have my cleaning business and am looking for a new side hustle to supplement my income. I love animals and people and have a lot of free time, so this just made sense! I hope I can help spoil and love on your pets while you can't. I have a completely open and flexible schedule. The only things I do on a regular basis are some zoom calls at 7 pm early in the week and a couple outings/errands a week for an hour or two. In my home, dogs would be walked around the beautiful hills and scenery in my neighborhood. I don't have a fenced in yard. Cats and dogs would have full reign of the apartment. Animals are allowed on furniture. Actually, I am lucky they share the couch with me.
“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.”

“Not only was Leana AMAZING with my two cats, but she was also super responsive and showed so much genuine interest in their comfort. I couldn't recommend her enough!!”
About: I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters so I know how to handle cats and dogs and tend to their needs. I have babysat dogs for my family, family friends and neighbors. I’ve gone to check in on their puppies. I am a full time student in school to be a Veterinarian. I have taken care of many different animals such as dogs, cats, ferrets, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep’s, goats and reptiles. I have my certification to give intramuscular, intravenous, and subcutaneous injections to fulfill your pets needs. I am a full time college student. I only go to school two days out of the week during the morning time. So I will be able to stay home the rest of the time to care for your babies. We wake up let the dogs outside, let them back in to eat and then go back outside sometimes we will play outside will the ball. Our older dogs like to stay inside.
“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!”
About: I’ve been a dog and cat lover since I was a young girl. Last year, my beloved toy poodle, Jesse, passed away after a long and fulfilling 16-year life. I hold a special place in my heart for senior pets, and I’m committed to providing all pets with the love and care they deserve. I work from home currently & usually have blocks of 2 - 3 hours of free time throughout my day. & open availability on weekends. I currently don’t have any pets at home. My home has a small fenced-in yard area at the back, and there’s also a great block of neighborhood to walk around.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats for more than 20 years. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, administering medicine, and giving your pets extra love and attention while you are away. I’m currently semi-retired so I have a flexible schedule. I am originally from Massachusetts and moved to San Antonio in 2022 to be near my children and grandkids. I am reliable, honest, and loving. I can care for your pets in your home and will follow any instructions given. I am happy to bring your pets to my home but only have a small yard so it may not be ideal for larger dogs.

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! 🤍🐾

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!

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
