“We are so grateful we found Mikelah! We were nervous about leaving our dog Sophie with anyone besides family or friends, but she made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free. She was beyond amazing with our pets, very communicative, punctual, and thoughtful throughout every visit. Her photo updates were honestly the best and gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

My home is fully pet-proofed to ensure safety and comfort, providing the perfect environment for play and relaxation. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats, including Dobermans, Great Danes, German Shepherds, Yorkies, and Chihuahuas.

Let me know, and we can explore how I can support their care too. I’m always happy to help!

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!
About: About Me 🐾 Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. Having experience in a 2 dog 2 cat household I know the importance of trust you have to have in your pet's caretaker. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and dogs who need medication, and I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and routines. I know that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and individual needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a potty break, a meal, medication, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages during visits. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and provide the dependable, loving care they deserve! 🐶❤️ I have a flexible schedule with work and dropping in and walking dogs helps to make my day, and make my day go by faster For drop in visits: potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles (upon pet request 😝) Dog walking: a stroll around the neighborhood for potty break, exercise, and mental stimulation with smell breaks along the way
About: I’ve had the responsibility of owning many pets of my own since I was 8 years old and have been pet sitting for family and friends since middle school. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of many different breeds and personalities throughout high school and every summer when I return home from college. I’m now in my senior year and would love to continue pet sitting while I’m away at school! I love meeting new pets because every dog has a different personality, and getting to know their little quirks is one of my favorite parts of pet sitting. Growing up with pets helped me understand the daily care, attention, and companionship they need. I know it can be hard for pets when their family is away, so I take time to learn their routine from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and downtime, and follow their owner’s instructions to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Having people trust me with their pets year after year means a lot to me, and I bring that same patience and care to every pet I watch. I’m currently in college, but I’m available before 12 p.m. and after 4 p.m. every day except Tuesdays. I’m also available for weekend stays or check-ins! My schedule gives me plenty of time to play with and look after your beloved pets, making sure they get attention, care, and company while you’re away. I’m happy to work with you to plan visits that fit their usual routine. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pets are in caring hands. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions, stick to their usual routines, and give them plenty of attention while respecting their space. I’ll keep doors secure, their food and litter areas clean, and treat your home with care and respect. If your pet stays at my home, it’s the same routine just with extra snacks and no rules! Just kidding, I’ll follow your rules and only give treats you approve of. I live in an apartment with plenty of room and greenery nearby for walks and playtime. I’ll make sure they have a comfortable place to rest and plenty of company while you’re away. I’d really appreciate knowing about any behaviors or triggers, such as biting, scratching, or guarding food, so I can keep both your pet and myself safe. I’ll also send photos and updates and let you know if anything seems unusual!
“Shauna and my wackos are best friends after over a week together. They played and did all the things together while I was gone and I couldn’t be happier to come home to happy dogs. They received all the love and attention they needed and then some. I highly recommend Shauna for your pet sitting and playtimes. We definitely want her to come back :)”
About: Dog lover and experienced pet caregiver with 12+ years as a proud dog mom to my sweet chiweenie, Max! I’ve cared for family pets for nearly two decades and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels — from playful pups to senior dogs needing a little extra TLC. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication administration, feeding, cuddles, belly rubs, or just a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I’m here to help. I love getting out for sniff-filled strolls, step goals, and leisurely neighborhood walks tailored to your dog’s pace and personality. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while in my care. 🫶🏼 I currently work from home with a flexible schedule to accommodate drop ins or walks throughout the day with my best availability in the mornings, lunch, or late afternoon. I can also be available on weekends! I am always sure to stay calm around new pets, letting them warm up to me before we get started. Whether they are ready to roll and get to stepping, or want to lounge about with cuddles and attention I always take my queues for what they need.
“Jessica was awesome! We had to travel last minute so I was so thankful when she accepted our request. Our pups were well loved, she sent lots of photos, and she took care of everything just like we asked. Thank you so much!!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have watched cats, dogs, and everything in between!

So for 4 of the days I am completely free! I work weekends 2x a month as well. I have a flexible schedule that changes week to week.

About: I have had my dog Scooter for 9 years. He is a Dachshund who has lived with dogs as big as a Newfie/Saint Bernard as well as small dogs like pugs. I haven't found one that he hasn't gotten along with. I can provide a wide range of services and live only 5 minutes from work so I can usually stop home every couple hours to meet the needs of your pet. When I go out of town I know the level of comfort I need to leave my dog with someone so I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet enjoys their time and you have peace of mind in whatever service I can provide to you. I look forward to working with you and your pets!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was 14 years old. I have years of experience in dog walking, bathing/grooming dogs and cats, pet sitting, and have trained my family dogs for years. I am currently working until 3pm during the weekdays and am free all weekend for all your pet care needs, whether that is dog-walking, drop in care, baths, or pet sitting.

Shawn was so great with our boys! My shrimp was being the protector of the house for a while, but eventually got along with Shawn very well! My other boys were great! Thank you for going above and beyond to come early and to also cleaning up the little chaos of a mess Shrimp left upstairs! Will book again!✨
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!
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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.
