“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!”
“Brittney is amazing. She took such great care of my blind and deaf 17 year old chihuahua. I know there were likely a lot of accidents to clean up. She also gently guided her around my yard for additional potty breaks and some fresh air. I didn't have to stress at all on my vacation because twice a day I could look forward to reading about her visit and getting pictures of my fur babies. To my great surprise, she even befriended my cat, who is usually very scared of people and goes into hiding when someone new is over. But she let Brittney pet her and visit with her too! Thank you so much, I will definitely contact Brittney for my pet sitting needs in the future.”
“Kristin D. provided excellent care for our dogs during our absence. Being first-time leave-at-home pet owners, we were initially hesitant, but Kristin diligently sent us regular photo updates, which greatly reassured us. We are highly satisfied with her service and intend to engage her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals including dogs cats rabbits for friends throughout my military career. From kittens and puppies to senior animals. I’ve helped break bad habits such as jumping and potty accidents in the house. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can take care of your fur baby anytime of the week. I’ll show them the love and care the fur babies babies deserve. I have a big fenced in backyard with dogs that can play or not with yours. I also have two cats that do their own things. I can crate as well if wanted.
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 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.
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!
“Diana was an excellent sitter to our two kitties. She arrived promptly, fed them wet and dry food, played with them, cleaned their litter and even brushed them for us. She even accommodated a last minute schedule change request. We truly felt like we left our kitties in good hands and she sent us plenty of pictures with each check-in. We will definitely be going back to Diana in the future.”
About: I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters so I know how to handle cats and dogs and tend to their needs. I have babysat dogs for my family, family friends and neighbors. I’ve gone to check in on their puppies. I am a full time student in school to be a Veterinarian. I have taken care of many different animals such as dogs, cats, ferrets, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep’s, goats and reptiles. 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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends for years, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s long walks with an energetic pup, quiet cuddle sessions with a shy cat, or making sure every pet feels safe and loved in my home, I treat every animal like family. My goal is always to give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their companions are happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Expect a warm, low-key environment where pets are treated like family. Dogs get daily walks, play sessions, and lots of affection; cats enjoy a peaceful home with enrichment and gentle attention. I keep a consistent routine so your pets feel secure, and I’m mindful of any special needs, feeding schedules, or medications. You’ll receive regular photo and text updates, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and genuine care. My goal is for your pets to come home happy and for you to return feeling relaxed knowing they were in good hands. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my space they get cozy spots, walks (for dogs), and gentle attention; in your home I stick to their familiar routine and surroundings. I always prioritize their individual needs, keep things clean and calm, and send photo updates throughout the day so you have complete peace of mind.
“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!”
“Adirah is awesome! So sweet on our meet up she definitely assured me my kitty would be in good hands. Throughout the visit she took plenty of update pictures of him eating and playing alot. I strongly recommend her to anyone! I will message her first next time we need go on a mini vacation.”
“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!”
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: 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.
“Muñeca walked up to Allison and immediately opened up to her. Negra did the same. They were both comfortable around her and insisted on head scratches and treats. Definitely a good first time encounter”
“Not only was Leana AMAZING with my two cats, but she was also super responsive and showed so much genuine interest in their comfort. I couldn't recommend her enough!!”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alamo Heights is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $29 per visit. 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.

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.
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 .
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.

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 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.
