About: My flexible schedule ensures dedicated care in your home! With 10 years of sitting experience and a lifetime as a proud dog mom, I treat your pup like family. As a work from home professional with a flexible schedule, I integrate pet care seamlessly, giving your dog frequent potty breaks, loving attention, and daily walks. I strictly stick to their familiar routine, providing attentive in-home care, timely drop-ins, engaging walks, and endless affection to keep your dog comfortable and happy.
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.
“Brittney is the BEST! She is reliable, communicates extremely well, and always takes the very best photos of my pup. Couldn’t recommend her more!!”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care our dogs received while we were on vacation! 🐾 The daily updates and photos gave us such peace of mind and showed how happy and well cared for they were. Thank you for treating them like your own—we couldn’t have asked for better care!”
“Sara is an incredible dog sitter for Pippa and Pearl. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for them like her own. We felt completely worry-free while we were away for a wedding, which says a lot. We’ll absolutely be using her again—highly recommend!”
“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!”
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.
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jessica took such wonderful care of our cat during drop-in visits and truly went above and beyond what we expected. Her communication was exceptional she sent updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. You could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”
“Anne was very responsive and thorough during her drop in visits. This was our first time not having a family or friend check in on our pet for us, and Anne did a great job making sure we knew he was nice and taken care of. 10/10 amazing”
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.
“Melisa was prompt and communicative, responded quickly to a last minute booking request that came up for unexpectedly - overall a great experience. I would book again when the opportunity arises.”
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 love animals, have two kitties of my own, and grew up with dogs, rabbits, and birds. I’m a full time college student able to care for your pets when you’re away. I understand the importance of having someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your pets as much as you do. Rest assured that your furry friend is safe, comfortable, and happily awaiting your return :) I am a full time student so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's needs. I am only unavailable from 4-6 and some weekends. I ensure a clean environment keeping anything harmful away from your fur babies. Double checking that cleaning supplies/other harmful substances are stored away and out of reach.
“Belem was great with my boy kitty. He is still young and usually takes a while to warm up to people but she got him to come out of his shell. She followed directions and sent me lots of updates. I would trust her with my baby again.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Alamo Heights is $20
Pet 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!!
Brittney is wonderful! She always takes great care of our three little orange kitties and sends the best photo updates. She’s consistent, reliable, and gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. We always know they’re in the best hands with her, which is why we’re repeat customers. Highly recommend!
As always, Denigh went above and beyond in caring for our spoiled cats. She maintained great communication before, during, and after the booking to make sure everything went alright and that our cats needed for nothing. She is always so willing to adapt to each cat’s needs and make them as comfortable as possible. She also takes incredible pics of your pet that make traveling without them a little easier. Don’t hesitate to book with Denigh!
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
