“Danielle was responsive, took time to meet my dog before the booking, and communicated well throughout the process. She took good care of dog and was even flexible with my return. Highly recommended!”

“Nichole is amazing!! She took such great care of my boys. My little guy Rambo is so shy and when he first met her, he went right up to her for pets!! She is a dog whisperer. I will definitely be a repeat customer!!”

“I'm so glad I found Nev for a last minute trip. They were so thorough during our meet and greet, and my shy cat Yuki took to them immediately. I felt so secure, knowing they were with my babies all weekend! I can't wait to book them again.”


About: Dogpark local from the downtown area. I have a dog, Barbie, and my two cats, Kori and Envy. I’m active, positive, professional, and gentle. I feed both my cats and dog in the morning and afternoon. I take Barbie out every morning and afternoon, sometimes at night around the park. All of my animals are very playful. I am a Dogpark local, who takes care of many of my friends pets and homes. This includes taking them to the Dog Park, walking, and sitting for them.
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”

“Ciria is absolutely incredible! She is very communicative, sweet, and reliable. I appreciate how she always keeps me updated on the kitties. Better yet, she has fun with them by giving treats, playing, and dressing them up. We came home to happy, healthy, well-loved kitties which is all you can ask for. Thank you Ciria!!”


“Melissa did an amazing job sitting our two dogs. She was very professional and communication was excellent. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Ericka calmed all my fears about leaving my reactive pup with her! She sent me lots of pictures and just took such good care of them! My dogs loved Ericka 🥰 (I’m only begrudgingly leaving this review bc I selfishly want to keep her for myself!)”

“This was the first time I have ever had someone I don’t know staying in our home watching our animals. Jared was amazing. He came for a meet and greet and the dogs immediately loved him. Our older female border collie usually doesnt love on new people so her reaction was very telling. We trusted Jared with our place for 10 days while we were on the other side of the country. He did an amazing job with texts multiple times a day every day as well as pictures of the dogs loving life. We have a doorbell camera and can confirm Jared took the dogs out every 4 hours as we requested and did long walks with the dogs so they could play. Not just pee breaks. I will definitely be using Jared again and if anyone has any reservations about him please take my vote of confidence. He did a fantastic job.”


About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have owned them throughout my life. As a student attending school to major in Veterinary Medicine, I want to get the best experience I can day by day. I currently own a doxie right now and she truly deserves the best. I am currently a sophomore student athlete going into my second semester. I want to be able to stay busy and get some experience with a variety of pets by understanding day by day. Also please understand that I will do my best to keep my availability updated, and as a student athlete please have patience with me. Thank you! I believe that caring for an animal is like caring for a child. The attention and care is a priority, as I do have a doxie myself. She is my whole world and she truly deserves the best along with all other pets!
About: I have a genuine connection to animals and care deeply for them. In my own home I care for a senior dog and two bunnies. I always give my animals my first and my best. My schedule is flexible as I prepare for graduate school. My goal is to make some connections with families that need additional pet care that I can work my schedule around to accommodate theirs. In my client's home I will be sure to understand and fulfill all of the specific expectations they have for their pets. I will provide love, comfort and a safe environment for any and all pets. While you are away, at work or just need a little extra support I will make sure your sweet pet feels all the love they are missing.

About: Mature (50+) & Reliable House & Pet Sitter with a Lifetime of Animal Experience **I understand that pets are family!** Growing up, there was always at least one dog in the house, along with a few cats over the years. As an adult, I've shared my home with many dogs and cats and understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and quirks. **Your fur babies are my fur babies** My mother has worked as a pet sitter for decades, and I've assisted her with pet-sitting assignments involving dogs and cats. Through those experiences, I became comfortable caring for animals with different needs, temperaments, and schedules. **Because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule** I can often provide more companionship and supervision than sitters who are away at a traditional job during the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet company, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. **Does your dog or cat need a buddy while you're away?** While I haven't had a pet of my own in the last few years, I still genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the responsibility involved in caring for both pets and the homes they live in. **Say no to the kennel** I believe the best pet care comes from patience, observation, and respect for each animal's unique personality. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing your home is being well cared for too. **I work remotely** Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. My children are grown, and I currently don't have pets of my own, which means I have the time and flexibility to focus on the pets in my care. When caring for your pets, I can typically provide: • Frequent potty breaks and walks • Consistent feeding schedules • Plenty of companionship throughout the day • Playtime, enrichment, and attention • Medication administration when needed • Careful monitoring of pets who are shy, anxious, or prone to escaping • Regular updates and photos for owners Because I'm often home during the day, your pets won't be left alone for long stretches of time. I understand that most animals are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I make it a priority to keep feeding times, walks, medications, and daily habits as consistent as possible. My goal is simple: happy pets, a well-cared-for home, and peace of mind for you while you're away. When someone invites me into their home and entrusts me with their pets, I understand that they're placing a great deal of trust in me. I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is simple: • Follow your instructions and routines carefully • Keep doors, gates, and potential escape routes secure • Pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or activity levels • Maintain a clean, respectful environment in your home • Communicate promptly if questions or concerns arise • Provide updates and photos so you can relax while you're away I believe pets feel safest when their world remains predictable. Whether I'm caring for a confident dog, a shy cat, or a household with multiple animals, I focus on creating a calm, stable environment that helps them feel comfortable while you're gone. My goal is for you to return home to happy pets, a well-cared-for house, and the confidence that everything was handled with care and attention.
“Sara is just so amazing! She took care of our new pup with ease and followed his care instructions to a T. We never have to worry about our house or dogs when we are away. If you have any doubts, don’t! Book Sara :)”

“Adirah did an incredible job with my pup, Cooper. She was kind enough to do a meet and greet to get him comfortable and kept me updated on things all weekend. She also took very good care of the apartment. I’m so grateful she was able to look after my little guy and I will most certainly be booking with her again.”

“Ashley was fantastic! Her background as a former vet tech really shows—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about puppies and made us feel completely at ease. We also reached out last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We’re really grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again!”

“Sarah did a wonderful job with Potato and Canela!. She communicated with me regarding there care, and sending me pictures. Also I love that she was very punctual and alerted me when she was on the way to our home! We definitely will reach out to her for dog and cat sitting! Thank you Sarah!”

“Taylor and John are very helpful and trustworthy while I was away on a week vacation. Got plenty of updates and great communication. I would highly recommend them and would rebook again anytime I needed help. Very reliable and helpful.”

“We cannot thank Mel enough for dog sitting. It is truly amazing to have someone you can fully trust with your fluffy babies when you are away home. They not only give our dogs the best care, but they are flexible with any last minute changes including extending dog sitting. They send us many pictures and videos of them everyday, and keep us updated on everything. We are so lucky and blessed to have found the best dog sitters that we can trust our lives with and will be always going back to them.”

Alta Vista pet parents share their Rover experiences
I was visiting San Antonio from out of town while my sister was in the hospital and found myself needing someone on very short notice to sit with my baby, Bear. Lexus responded quickly and immediately put my mind at ease. She took such wonderful care of him, kept me updated throughout the entire visit, sent photos, and communicated consistently the whole time. Being away from your pet during an already stressful situation can be difficult, but I truly felt secure leaving Bear in her care. Lexus was kind, dependable, attentive, and professional. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and would definitely book with her again in the future.

This was the first time I have ever had someone I don’t know staying in our home watching our animals. Jared was amazing. He came for a meet and greet and the dogs immediately loved him. Our older female border collie usually doesnt love on new people so her reaction was very telling. We trusted Jared with our place for 10 days while we were on the other side of the country.

We have a doorbell camera and can confirm Jared took the dogs out every 4 hours as we requested and did long walks with the dogs so they could play. Not just pee breaks. I will definitely be using Jared again and if anyone has any reservations about him please take my vote of confidence. He did a fantastic job.

Couldn’t have asked for somebody better to watch our fur babies! She was so incredibly nice. From the moment I met her I felt super comfortable with her watching our pets for the weekend. She constantly kept us updated, sent us photos of the pets, and it was great to see how happy our pets were! We would absolutely recommend her to anybody and use her services again.

This is the second time Jessica saved my sanity :) When life throws you a curve ball and you suddenly need care for your fur baby, you can count on her! She is reliable, gives lots of lovin’, keeps in contact and sends great photos. I miss my pup while I’m gone but I know she’s in excellent hands.

Doraelia is an absolute lifesaver! We were in a pinch over the holidays and needed someone to watch our cat, Yuki, and our dog, Echo. Doraelia stepped in and did an amazing job. Not only did they stay on top of a strict medication schedule for both pets, but they also made sure Echo got her daily walks and both animals received plenty of playtime and attention. It was so clear that Yuki and Echo were happy and well-cared for as Doraelia sent photos regularly. We can't thank Doraelia enough and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy pet sitter!
