“Nikole has done a wonderful job watching our two pups! She follows instructions well, spends time with the dogs, and sends regular updates. We will be using her pup watching services as often as we can. Highly recommend Nikole to watch your furry babies.”
“Sara is my go to sitter when I have an extended trip. She's super sweet and my kitties love when she comes over! Her updates are always detailed and a nice piece of home. Definitely recommend Sara for any of your pet needs!”
“Grey was an absolute delight! He consistently went above and beyond to ensure the well-being of our fur babies. He diligently took care of them, kept us informed and updated daily, and showed great consideration for our home. We would be thrilled if Grey could watch the fur babies again!”
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.
“Got lots of updates and pictures throughout the entire time! William is great and cared for our our 85lb high energy boy and our 45lb old man with no issues. Highly recommend for your babies care!”
“Amazing! I’m so appreciative of Rebecca’s care that she gave my Rocco. He was in the best hands and honestly I think he misses her more than he did me! I will definitely be recommending her and booking again with her!”
“Alex was great! The dogs were certainly well taken care of and he was great at providing updates throughout. The house was clean when we came back as well and all asks completely followed. Thanks!”
“Best decision I ever made! My dogs were taken care of and loved on and taken for walks! Made my momma heart rest a bit easier while away! Pictures were sent every time they did anything! I came home and they were so happy! Way different than any time I’ve boarded them…10/10 recommend these guys, worth every penny!”
“Shelby took great care of our dog, Woodrow!! She is easy to work with, prompt to respond, and sent lots of photos while we were away. Woodrow has a lot of fear and hesitation when it comes to new situations, but this was not a problem for Shelby - her patience enabled her to build trust with Woodrow during her stay. He even let her take him on a few walks (which is a huge step for him!). We had peace of mind during our trip knowing Shelby was taking care of Woodrow. Thank you, Shelby!”
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!
“Patty is wonderful dog sitter. She takes incredible care of my 15 year old bichon that requires extra effort. He's on meds and needs a little more attention. Patty gives him that. She also is wonderful with my 3 year old mini poodle. I highly recommend Patty!”
“This was our first time leaving our pups at-home with a sitter and Sharon took excellent care of our pups and home! It really allowed us to enjoy our time away more knowing Sasha and Stella were in excellent care. Sharon made sure to provide updates throughout her stay and left our house in immaculate condition. We will definitely be using her again and recommned to our friends and family.”
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.
“Michael did an excellent job caring for our dogs while we were away for the weekend. She is very professional and we will definitely be calling her again nest time we need to leave our dogs at home. I highly recommend her services!”
“Zoe has been great for short stays or even long stays. I have used her twice now and both times have been great. I would definitely reach out to her for my sitting needs again in the future. She is a great communicator and sends daily updates and pictures.”
“Laurie did great with our three dogs. She also cleaned our house after a very rainy week while we were gone. I would recommend her to others for both house and pet sitting.”
“Rachel was fantastic and we will definitely use her services again. Our dog Max was very happy to spend time with Rachel and I highly recommend her! She was communicative and we felt extremely comfortable leaving her in our home as first time Rover users.”
“I am hesitant to do this review, because I will find it challenging to book him and only him to watch my crew when we are out of town. Why? Because we came back from an our travels and it was like we never left! ❤️ Braydon is consistent with communication, pays close attention to my instructions, which by the way my husband will not do and I admit I can be pretty detailed! Almost too detailed. Braydon took care of everything and everyone. He made sure to keep an eye on the crew while also making sure the space was tidy each day. He was ahead of me each day that I sent a message. "Can you do this?" He replies "already done and I also do that." So THIS and THAT got done with great care. 😊 Thank you Braydon”
About: Raised on a southern farm with multiple dogs, many cats, and farm animals, I have a lifetime of extensive experience with animals of all types. I currently have 6 pets of my own and have owned, rescued and fostered both dogs and cats for 30 years. I am highly skilled at providing care to pets with special needs or those of advanced years. I am very accomplished at giving medications / fluids / injections. I am regularly requested for pet care by associates, family, friends and neighbors and genuinely enjoy it. I am self employed with a flexible schedule. I can easily manage a wide range of pet care hours and can work with your routine. I adore my own animals and they are constantly spoiled and loved like family. I want to provide the same level of exemplary care for your pet(s) as I would expect to have provided to my own.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Alamo Heights is $42
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alamo Heights
Nichole watched our dog and 2 cats for 11 days, and we couldn't be happier! Our dog has epilepsy and requires meds 3x a day. She made sure our dog was safe and taken care of. She sent us daily photos, checked in, and left our house in great shape. We will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend:)
We had a great experience! Taking care of six cats is no small task, but we felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Melisa was reliable, communicative, and took great care of everyone while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our cats were being well looked after.
Caroline was incredibly warm, loving towards our pets, highly responsive, and made it so we could enjoy our vacation without worry. All the photos she sent and her attention to detail helped us see how happy and well our pets were doing while we were away. We are so grateful to her and her care for our large brood! Thank you, Caroline!!!
Danielle was great. She was very attentive to all instructions including special feeding instructions, and managed our Great Pyrenees Lily, who has quite a mind of her own, very well, and kept us posted several times a day. The house was left in good order. We will ask her to come again.
Ericka was very attentive and caring to our two cats during our 6 day trip. She was always sure to send updates and pictures which was a big relief. One of our kitties is shy and apprehensive towards strangers, but grew comfortable with Ericka. She followed our detailed instructions and went above and beyond to make sure the house was in order before we came home. We trust Ericka with our little ones and are so glad to have found her. We hope to book her again in the future.
I had the pleasure of having Karen look after my dogs, Abbie & Arlo. We had last minute travel changes and she was extremely flexible with the updates. From the start, Karen was professional, friendly, and responsive. I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friends in her care. She took the time to get to know their routine, preferences, and quirks. Communication was excellent – I received regular updates and felt reassured throughout the entire time. She went above and beyond by sending updates/photos. When I came back, my dogs were calm, happy, and well-cared for. I highly recommend Karen and will be using her services again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Alamo Heights is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $71 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,750 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alamo Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Alamo Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Alamo Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
