“Diana has always been awesome with our kitties. She makes sure they have plenty of play time when she comes over and gives them snacks in addition to their meals. She always goes above and beyond and is willing to flex if needed. We had peace of mind whenever we left town knowing Diana was watching them. I highly recommend Diana for your pet sitting needs.”
“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 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.

I don’t know what our family would do without him. He’s dependable, professional, thorough and kind to humans and pets.”

About: Dogs and cats have been an integral part of my childhood and early adulthood. From best friend to comforting them in their later stages of life. I’ve had the privilege of taking care of all the back yard animals. I’m experienced in walking small and large animals. I welcome energetic dogs as I know some awesome walking trails to expend all of that energy. I’m currently in college and work part time as a tutor. I’m working with rover to help earn some extra cash for books and groceries. I love detailed lists of what the animal prefers and their schedule. If none is needed then my services will look like similar to their regular schedule and activities. Pets are great at telling you what they need.
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.
About: I have watched multiple peoples pets and animals! I also have a 3 year old fur baby who loves to play and trained myself! I’m excited to welcome your babies into my home! I work from home full time. I own my own home with a fenced in yard! I’m available to house boarding, drop ins, and walks I have a fenced in yard and one 5 year old pug shitzu mix who loves to play and gets along great with other dogs
About: I can't remember a time in my life where I haven't had dogs or cats in my house. Just recently we have had two dogs in our home and three cats! I have gotten very used to caring for dogs & cats and having them around all the time. I miss having a pet close by and that's why I have chosen to work with Rover! I live in the North East side of San Antonio. My area is close to wonderful paved trails and a nice shaded dog park. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I hope you will trust me to care for your family member! I am in a season of life where I have a lot of flexibility so I can focus on caring for your pet! Which means a lot of time for walking and playing and attention to your pet! My pets have a big backyard where they can bark and chase squirrels all day. I also have a crate if needed or preferred. Pets are like family so I love keeping them close by!
About: I got my first dog in my 20s. I have had a few over the years. I'm happy to walk, feed, water and administer medicine if needed. I love all dogs and I know how to give a dog time to get comfortable with me and interact properly. I work from home and I have a backyard. I have reliable transportation to go to your home and I will never neglect your pets needs. I have a fenced yard but I will also let dogs in the house. I don't have any dogs or cats myself at this time so no need to worry about your pets not getting along with mine. Cats can be free roaming my house or I can sequester them in my guest room if the owner prefers.
About: I’ve owned multiple dogs and cats since before I could walk. Ive taken care of pets for family, friends, coworkers, you name it I’ve done it. I’m a current college student, so my weeks are mostly open. I only go to school for a couple hours a day so I can take care of your pets for most times! I have my own place and can care for your pets up to your standards, whether they’re in a crate, fenced in or free roam. I’ll clean up messes and take your dogs on long walks with plenty 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!

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! 🤍🐾
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!

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 .

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.

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.
