About: I've always loved animals and treat every pet like they're my own. I'm patient, dependable, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to a specific routine, I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs and personality. I'm happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind and always strive to create a positive, stress free experience for both pets and their families. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. Because of my hours, I'm able to accommodate walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays in many cases. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide them with the attention, consistency, and care they deserve while you're away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. I take the time to help pets feel comfortable in their environment, give them plenty of attention and affection, and keep a close eye on their well being. I also make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and outdoor time, and I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Mr. Zaihyden has been a tremendous help in caring for my dogs. He consistently checks on them, walks them, and makes sure they are fed and well cared for. He is trustworthy, reliable, and dependable, giving me peace of mind whenever I am away. I truly appreciate his professionalism and dedication, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”
“Anne was very attentive of our pets, made sure they had their needs met. She went beyond what was asked, at short notice and we our very thankful to her. Thank you Anne and Rover for your help. Chad”
“Melissa dropped by to check on my 3 pups while I was out of town! She sent pics of my babies and gave them treats and snuggles! Thank you for checking on them ❤️”
“Brittney was awesome! Super flexible with a last minute booking due to our family emergency. She was amazing with our two dogs and I loved all the pictures and communication when she was with them:) we will definitely book again!”
“Sara did an amazing job of taking care of our cats. She took the time to understand what special instructions we had. She spent the time to ensure that both cats were doing well and had what they needed. Our shy cat even came out while she was there.”
“Ericka did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Molly! This was my first time using Rover so I wasn't sure how it would go having a new person take care of her doing the drop-in visits, but she loved Ericka! I also really appreciated the notes and photo updates from each check-in. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Absolutely wonderful. I was worried because my dog is elderly and takes multiple medication but Jessica welcomed all of my request. They declined my offers to short-cuts and exceeded my walking expectations. The cherry on top is my dog looked healthier than every when I came back.”
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.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life. I love animals and always have. Also, my sister is a vet tech who I am in close contact with. Im currently working full time M-F so I have availability to play with your dogs on weekends when you’re busy! I am happy to take longer, sniff walks for your puppy! Each dog is different, but they all deserve to be treated like kings and queens! I make sure your pup gets the love, cuddles and attention they deserve!! I take a lot of pictures when i’m with your pet so you can stay updated!
About: Took care of both my dog and cat together, they have since passed. My favorite part of the day was coming home to them and giving each of them play time and a walk for my dog. My husband and I just moved here. I am a new mom to a 4 month old baby and would love an excuse to love on some animals and get some extra steps in the day as well. I do not have anything animals of my own so your sweet animal will be my focus during our time together! I will walk your pup or play with your cat and clean up after them as needed.
“Wonderful Kristin is the best! We've used her many times and she's helpful and responsive. She'll keep you updated and is a very nice lady! Highly recommended”
“Melisa came by my house everyday for 12 days to check on my kitty. I appreciated the daily report card and photos. I never felt anxious and knew my cat was in good hands! I will definitely use her again! Don't hesitate to give her a try.”
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!
“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!!”

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!!
Zaihyden has been a great help for over a month now, coming almost every week. He is honest, trustworthy, has excellent communication, and is always dependable. He is wonderful with my dogs, and they have grown to love him and are very comfortable around him. As long as he is available, I will continue booking his services and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter or dog walker. His help has given me peace of mind, allowing me to take a break and have the freedom to do other things while knowing my dogs are in great hands.
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!
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.
