“This was my first experience with Rover and it could not have been better! Jessica is so communicative and trustworthy. She was super accommodating for a last minute booking and did a wonderful job with my pets. Her updates were so detailed and well-done, I wasn’t worried once during my trip and was able to relax knowing my pets were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting!”
“This was Melisa's first drop in visit with Katie and it went great. She gave my dog her medication, took her outside and played with her and made my day away much easier knowing I didn't have to worry!”
“Brittney was wonderful! We are so grateful she was able to watch the dogs while we were gone and take such great care of them. We would definitely have her back!”
“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: As a mom of three, caring for others comes naturally to me. My son loves animals and enjoys joining me on walks, but I am always the one responsible for your pet’s care. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering routine medications, and providing plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. My goal is to treat every dog like part of the family. We love doing special things for the dogs in our care, whether that’s an extra walk, a fun outing, lots of playtime, or simply extra cuddles and attention. Whether your pup loves adventure or prefers a quiet day at home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible during the summer. My children attend camp during the weekdays, which allows me to be home frequently and provide plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. During the week, I can offer a consistent routine with regular feeding schedules, exercise, and lots of interaction. I understand that dogs thrive on structure, so I do my best to maintain the routines they're accustomed to at home. Weekends vary a bit more for our family, as we occasionally travel or have plans, so I keep my Rover calendar updated and only accept bookings when I know I can give pets the time and attention they deserve. Because I have a flexible schedule and spend much of my time at home, I'm able to provide attentive care, frequent check-ins, and plenty of love and companionship while you're away. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of play and activity, while others prefer a calmer approach. I take the time to build trust with each animal and ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. During walks, I prioritize safe leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and making sure your pet gets appropriate exercise based on their age, energy level, and needs. During drop-ins, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, attention, playtime, and companionship—not just a quick visit. I also respect your home as if it were my own. I'll follow any household instructions, keep things tidy, and make sure doors, gates, and locks are secure before leaving. You'll receive updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“The Best Dog Sitter Ever! This was our very first time using a sitter, and we will never go back to boarding! Ericka went above and beyond every single time she cared for our pups. They were so happy and comfortable, we could tell they were being loved just like they are at home. Ericka was amazing with communication! She sent tons of pictures and videos, kept us updated after every visit, and always made us feel at ease while we were away. She was also incredibly flexible; when our flights were delayed and we had to add two last-minute visits, she responded right away and didn’t hesitate to help. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. Ericka is the real deal! We’re beyond grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“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.”
“Cathy was so accommodating and communicative during every visit with our sweet boy!! We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying if our Simba was in good hands and happy!! Thank you Cathy for making everything flow so easily!!”
“Anne took good care of my cat Sully while I was away for the holidays! She was proactive and asked if I’d like him brushed or his nails trimmed, which was so considerate of her. She provided timely updates and was able to take care of small favors I asked from her. Sully seemed to enjoy his time with her. I recommend her as a sitter!”
“Diana was very communicative and took lots of pictures of my babies. It looks like they absolutely loved her. She went above and beyond following directions that I had left and I will be booking again!”
“Alison was the best! She was very communicative and ensured she understood each of my three basset hounds’ quirks, including one with special needs. She was very enthusiastic about caring for them and included pictures of her stay (which really warms my heart when I am missing them). I would definitely ask for her again and certainly recommend her to a friend.”
“We booked Nev last minute to drop in on our dogs, and I’m so happy we did! Nev even scheduled a meet and greet, taking time out of their day to make it happened. We are so happy with the care our puppies received.”
“We had a great experience with Anna dropping in to take care of our dogs. Excellent communication. She even stopped by beforehand to meet our pups. We would highly recommend Anna and plan to use her pet sitting services in the future.”

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!
She has been absolutely wonderful! After my shy cat had some issues adjusting to a previous pet sitter, Ericka was very understanding and worked with me to set up some drop-ins to give my shy cat extra time to get used to her before I go on a longer vacation.
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!
Connie did an amazing job checking in on Ollie while I’ve been out of town! I loved all the photos and updates she sent, it really gave me peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. I’m sure Ollie enjoyed her company and all the attention she gave him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,083 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alamo Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alamo Heights. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
