About: Going on vacation, need a getaway, or just take a break? Trustworthy and reliable house and pet sitter can help. Need a companion to supervise your kids, pets, and elderly family? Caring for your loved ones at home, while they do their normal routine and activities, to be cozy and comfortable. I love being around people, kids, and pets doing activities, conversing, or just quietly keeping them company, if preferred. My experience includes property management, substituting in public schools, volunteer at animal shelters and rescues, helped with community cats, and also watch my own critters along with friends and family. I do have a part-time property management career during the day but can schedule you early mornings and late afternoon evenings, as well as weekends, and holidays. Visits and tasks are personalized with your instructions, to meet your needs. Let me know if I can assist you with anything and get some spare time on your hands to do more!
About: Hi! I'm Victoria! I've had dogs since I was about 15 and I'm proud to say that I’ve raised two puppies and loved many shelter dogs as well! I have many years of experience in caring for animals, as well as training dogs. I am also a foster for the city of San Antonio (ACS) as well as a foster for SRT and SRH (Schnauzer Rescue of Texas and Schnauzer Rescue of Houston) I love dogs, so please rest assured that your fur baby will be in great hands if you decide to book with me! I have experience in caring for animals with special needs, including medication administration and basic first aid! I'm currently working from home and I study from home as well, so my availability is pretty open! I rarely will be unavailable, because I’m able to adjust my schedule I live in a house with a fenced in yard, I'm able to throw ball outside if I ever have any dogs outside and they have plenty of room to run around and play, but I am also happy to sit in your home or walk your dog in your neighborhood! I am also okay with taking them to a park nearby if that's what you prefer!
“Great as usual! Have used Nichole for drop in’s several times and it is such a relief to be able to trust someone to spend time in your home with your fur kids.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Megan was wonderful. She was prompt and thorough with her check ins and faithfully sent us pictures of our fur baby while we were away. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“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.”
“Flor is absolutely the sweetest! Our picky fur babies opened up to her quickly! I reached out to Flor very short notice and the whole meet/greet and visit went far smoother than the day trip my husband and I had lol Thank you, Miss Flor!”
About: I’ve taken care of at least 16 dogs, cats, and even a few birds for many neighbors and family friends since I was around 10 years old! I adore all animals, especially cats!! I truly cherish my time with animals, and I would love to get to know yours! I’m currently a full-time student, but I have a very flexible schedule and a few pet-care jobs already, so I’m confident I can accommodate most, if not all, of the pet-care needs you might have! I am respectful and careful in my clients’ homes, as well as mindful of the fact that it is the pets home, too. I want the pet to be as comfortable as possible, and I try my very best to make sure they are not lonely or lacking in care and attention.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and I also am a dog mom of two little fur babies. 1 boy and 1 girl name Lux and LouLou, they are almost one years old. I have so much love for fur babies and just want them to have the best life they possibly can just like us.... I am a college student, who is out for the summer and also work Part-time at H-E-B. I also love to fish on the weekends. I give them my full attention just as if they were my babies but I also let them have their fun and exercise so they don't feel alone without there owners.
About: Growing up I have taken care of animals all my life. I absolutely love animals and will give them all so much love and care I am available Monday and Tuesdays anytime throughout those days. I am able to come in early. I am able to stay late at night. I walk and play with my dog, she is a little corgi mix. I also have four cats who just love to eat and sleep all day. I make sure to clean out their litter boxes, feed them twice a day, and give them all lots of play time!
About: I have the patience to take care of puppies and senior dogs alike! My senior dog is my world and I raised him from a puppy🫶 I’ve been around dogs my whole life and feel at my happiest when I’m around them. I also worked at Lucy’s Doggie Daycare as a Kennel Technician for a brief period before I had to leave for family medical reasons, but it was the best job I ever had. I currently work full time at a local restaurant—my hours fluctuate but I’m generally available during the evenings after 5 pm. Ideal for anyone who works the night shift in need of dog sitting! I have plenty of toys and treats I can bring along to keep your baby occupied, as well as a dog park in my apartment complex and minutes away from a walk to Brackenridge Park. No shortage of things to do and places to see!

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.

I am very reliable for my friends, families and any neighbors who need help in caring for their pets 🐾 I am currently in process of getting a job, however, I can work with taking care of any pet with my schedule. My work hours will not be crazy during the day so i will always have time to check up on any pet I am taking care of. While watching any pup, I try to go about 4 times a day since i know they may be alone. If i do watch them at my house, i have a gated backyard with plenty of grass for them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alamo Heights
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! 🤍🐾
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!
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!

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.

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 .

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.
