“Lyndsi was great! Punctual and went out of her way to make my pups feel comfortable in my absence. Even lending extra patience and care to help maintain cleanliness after puppy mishaps. Definitely grateful!”
“Nick watched our 2 dogs and gecko for a few days and we had a great experience! He was so professional and very responsive while we were gone. The house and all the animals were very well taken care of and we would highly recommend Nick to anyone!”
“Tenay was fantastic! She was available last minute and saved me from having to cancel my trip. The dogs were comfortable with her and she left my house in great shape. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had and loved dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs (and a cat). My girl is a perfect playmate to all, and my guy is a senior who’s living his best life laying on the couch. I (and my fiancè) have taken in dogs/cats off the street, fostered, and rescued/adopted, so I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and demeanors. I’m a teacher who will be off all summer, so I can be with your pet as much as needed! I’d love to provide some stand-in TLC to your pet while they eagerly await your return :) I have a large backyard, plenty of toys, and a lot of love to give to your pet! I’m a middle school teacher who’s currently off for spring break and will be off for the whole summer, so I’m freely available to meet you and your pet’s needs. I can accommodate early mornings, mid-day check-ins, late nights; whatever you need! I have a spacious house with a large fenced yard. I have two dogs, one of which will lay around 24/7, while the other is sweet, playful, energetic and always looking for friends to play with! If needed, I can kennel your pet or give them the spare room if they need a quiet place to relax alone. If caring for your pet in your house, you can be assured that I will be thorough in providing them with some TLC while you’re away! I love learning about the little quirks that pets can have and will be attentive and detailed in my care for them to make sure they always feel at ease.
“Cassidy was the sweetest! She was so kind and patient with our Great Dane, Daisy. She sent updates frequently and sent pictures. I had a stress free day knowing Daisy was safely with Cassidy. She would absolutely always be my first choice anytime I needed a sitter.”
About: I’ve had a dog in the house since I was 5 years old. I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years as a boarder before I permanently moved to Baton Rouge. I go to LSU and major in animal science. I have medicated and taken care of anxious/aggressive dogs. I am patient, gentle, and I take account that each pet is a family member to each owner. I am currently enrolled at LSU majoring in Animal science. I have wanted to foster or get a pet of my own since moving here but I have not been able to, so I decided to make my side hustle helping others with the things I love to do. I am available on weekdays and most weekends. Just message me ahead of time for weekends! I am easygoing and easy to communicate with. I have a fenced little yard and I enjoy walking around my gated neighborhood, so I will do so with your pet. I follow instructions well, I am aware each pet is different and have their own personality. I’m slow and a quick learner, since I have handled hundreds different dogs for a handful of years. If I am ever confused on an instruction my first instinct is to contact you to make sure and not just “assume”.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that I turned my lifelong passion for animals into my profession. As an incoming second-year veterinary student at LSU, caring for animals is more than just a job to me, it is truly what I love to do every day. I am passionate about creating a safe, loving, and stress free environment for every pet in my care and treating them with the same compassion and attention I would give my own animals. My veterinary training and hands on experience allow me to confidently care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and providing attentive care for senior pets or animals needing extra support. I also understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions when caring for puppies and high energy pets. Above all, I genuinely love building trust and connections with animals. Pet care is something I intentionally prioritize within my daily and weekly routine. While I do work part time in a large animal emergency hospital, caring for animals is my passion and an important part of my life. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure that every pet in my care receives the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I understand how important reliability and communication are when trusting someone with your pets, and I am committed to meeting each animal’s individual needs, whether that includes walks, playtime, medications, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship and comfort while you are away. Animals are truly a central part of my life, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and compassion that I give my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment where they feel secure and well cared for. I understand that every animal has different routines, personalities, and needs, so I make it a priority to provide individualized care tailored to each pet. Whether that includes playtime, exercise, medications, feeding schedules, enrichment, or simply companionship and affection. I strive to ensure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable, attentive, and professional care so that both pets and owners can feel confident and at ease.
About: Senior care, puppy care. I can do both! Bonus, if your dog likes to run, so do I! Medications no problem, clipping nails, no problem. I work full time, so I’m available evenings, nights, and weekends. I can house sit certain nights, can do drop ins any day of the week. I have worked with a variety of species. I have no issues with reptiles, rodents, amphibians, cats, and dogs etc. I am passionate about animal care.
“10 out of 10!!! She was absolutely amazing with our dog Kevin:) She stayed at the house and watched him for a week!!! She sent us updates and pictures and was great at communicating!!! Would highly recommend trusting her with your pets and I’m so thankful for Jamyriah!!💕”
“We were so pleased with Samantha. She house/dog sat for us this past weekend. She communicated with us all weekend about Duke and Lady which we rate very highly. We have older labs and one has to have medication twice a day. They eat twice a day and go to bed around a certain time. She handled all of this really well. We will hire her in the future.”
About: my ability to provide personalized care for each pet, including experience with puppies and supporting senior pets with gentle handling and extra attention, all while maintaining a safe, loving, and stress free environment. i am currently in school & also work but my schedule is very flexible & i am always open to work with you to accommodate with each other! I care for pets by following their routines, providing food, water, exercise, and attention, ensuring a safe and clean environment, and monitoring their health and well-being whether in my home or the client’s home.
“Chelsy was very communicative, was able to accommodate a extra night last minute and I had no worries while I was gone. I have 3 dogs, ages 7-14, with varying health issues and meds, Chelsy took care that all my instructions were followed. She had a extra challenge with it being NYE and one of my boys being terrified of loud noises (fireworks, storms, etc). Highly recommend and will use again!!!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and am now an Animal Science major. I also work in a veterinary hospital’s boarding department, caring for dogs, cats and other pets as well as helping with medications. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I’m available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after 12 PM, and I also have availability every other weekend. I work Wednesdays and Fridays, but I’m happy to coordinate care around those days when possible. I provide care in my home or clients’ homes. I have access to a dog park and prioritize pets’ comfort and routines with attentive care.
About: I enjoy walks and being outdoors as much as any dog. I also enjoy a slower pace and can provide care and companionship to your fur friend who might not be as active. Full-time student at LSU. My schedule allows flexibility to provide services that can meet your pet's needs. I share my affection evenly between all the fur friends and will love to meet yours! My services will be provided in clients home since mine is only pet-proofed for my little guy. Detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated so I know first hand the do's and don'ts of your home and how best to care for your fur friend!
“Melanie did a great job! She watched our puppy and house for a whole week! She kept our new puppy on his demanding schedule and gave us updates every day. We are very thankful for her help.”
About: I have worked at a part-time doggy daycare and boarding facility for over a year now, gaining tons of experience with all kinds of different pups- low energy/high energy- super outgoing/anxious and much more since every fur baby is different from the next. I have taken many animal related college courses that have helped me gain much knowledge about dogs which is just as important as the hands on experience. I also have shadowed veterinarians at animal hospital clinics that’s going towards my vet assistant certification. And last but not least I have had pups of my own, 2 great danes growing up and now my own shelter pup😊. She’s my best friend/daughter/favorite person, I take pride that I take care of every pup the same way I’d want someone taking care of mine. I’m currently working part time but I am available before 12 pm on Sunday's, after 1 pm Monday through Wednesday and completely free Thursday through Saturday. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide a clean, safe environment and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. With my hands-on experience working with dogs, animal care education, and veterinary shadowing experience, I am prepared to provide attentive and responsible care for pets of all ages. I have an extremely pet friendly female dog that can keep your pup entertained if needed. If not no worries, she is kennel trained and does doggie daycare at my job.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Antonio
Lyndsi was awesome. She tolerated my, let's say, "quirky" pets, she was communicative and trustworthy, and I'm pretty sure my house is cleaner now than when I left, though that is NOT part of her job. Seriously, she made me feel comfortable leaving my loved ones in her hands, and when I returned, that trust was clearly earned. Full endorsement.
Alyssa did a wonderful job watching our dogs while on vacation! We ended up having last minute medication for one of the dogs and she was having to wear the cone-of-shame! Alyssa handled it all like a champ!! We received pics and updates. Was very thankful to have her stay at my home. Will use her again for sure!♥️
Collin was amazing and gave us such peace of mind when he was house sitting for us and watching our three cats. He went above and beyond our expectations and made sure to provide excellent care for our kitties. Would definitely book him again and recommend him to anyone wanting trustworthy and thorough cat care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Antonio
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Antonio on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 346 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Antonio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Antonio walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Antonio maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Antonio choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Antonio. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
