About: I've had dogs ever since I was a child. When I turned 16, I started dog sitting my family's and neighbor's dogs whenever they needed me. I have plenty of experience with anxious and high-energy dogs, as these are some of the types of dogs I've taken care of. I'm currently a full-time college student with a very flexible class schedule. I only have one class a day so I have plenty of free time to dog sit. I can take your dog out for walks, dog parks, pup cup dates, or just stay in with them. Whatever you're most comfortable with! I also would update y'all as often as possible.
“Hayley took incredible care of my two boys, and did so with less than 24 hours notice. She saved my trip from falling through and provided the most rock solid dog sitting service i’ve ever received. Will be returning with Hayley and your pets would love her as much as my boys did!”
About: I’ve cared for many of my family members’ dogs and cats over the years, and I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. This experience has helped me become comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routines, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. My yard is not fenced, but I live near a park and several safe walking areas. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention to help pets stay happy, comfortable, and active during their stay.
“We had a great experience with Tenay. She took care of the house and the fur kids with tender love and care!! She went above and beyond when our dopey cat knock a paperweight off a shelf and onto a glass top desk, shattering it in the middle of the night. She made sure the cat and dog were both OK and then offered to clean it all up even though she had nothing to do with it!! We're looking forward to having Tenay back soon.”
“Everything we do is last minute, so last minute changes were made to add an earlier departure date at the last minute. Keona was available and flexible to watch our two for 8 days. She did a meet and greet before we left and you can tell she is a dog lover. Will definitely use her services again.”
About: As a veterinary student, I have experience handling and caring for animals through veterinary school, clinical experiences, and shelter volunteering. My training has taught me to pay close attention to an animal’s behavior, comfort, appetite, and overall well-being. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and medication instructions and caring for pets that may need a little extra patience or attention. While pet sitting is not a substitute for veterinary care, my veterinary background helps me recognize when something seems unusual and communicate concerns quickly with an owner. Hi! I’m an LSU veterinary student with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. As both a veterinary student and pet owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pet while you’re away. My veterinary training has given me experience with animal handling, recognizing changes in behavior and comfort, and administering medications. I provide attentive, individualized care and make sure owners receive regular updates and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. As a veterinary student, my schedule varies throughout the week, but I’m very intentional about only accepting bookings that I can fully accommodate. I plan pet care around my class and school schedule to make sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m generally available for evening care on weekdays, with additional flexibility throughout the day depending on my class schedule. My weekends tend to be more flexible. I’m happy to coordinate with each owner to maintain their pet’s usual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, and overall well-being, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I notice anything unusual. I carefully follow each pet’s established routine and your specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household safety. I also understand that every pet has different boundaries, so I take the time to build trust and allow them to interact at their own pace. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with respect. You can expect regular updates and plenty of pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾
About: Have resided with small dogs such as yorkies up to large dogs such as cane corsos. Have also worked with K9s during my time spent working in airport cargo Im currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible when it comes to my daily/weekly routine. Pet care is my #1 source of employment. I have a full sized car available for outings. I clean up well behind myself & respect other peoples space & boundaries. I follow any rules & regulations put in place for the good of the pet & integrity of myself
“Great sitter! Fast communication and replies! Took amazing care of my fur babies, sending me photos every day and updating me on their status. 100% will (and already have) book her again!”
“We have a German Shepherd that likes to bark at everyone, but when she first met Emma, she didn’t bark at her at all which was a great sign 💕 She was an amazing Sitter! She gave great communication our entire trip including pictures. She took really good care of our girl and when we came home, she seemed so happy! We will definitely reach out to Emma again if we ever need her and I highly recommend you do the same.”
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.
“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 have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I can remember. I grew up with at least 3-4 dogs in my household at all times, volunteered at the local animal shelter to help take care of the overflow of dogs, fostered a litter of puppies, and of course the occasional dog sitting for a neighbor or family friend. I am currently working 2 part time jobs at the moment, but they usually include short days and hours. I am mostly available from mid afternoon to nighttime on any given day, especially weekends! Schedule is subject to change weekly. I have a big kennel in my home if it’s ever needed. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and other equipment like poop bags, leashes, or harnesses.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, but I really gained hands on experience once I started college. I’m an Agricultural Science major on the pre-vet track at Southern University A&M College, so I’m around small animals and livestock almost every day. I also help care for the police and therapy dogs on campus through my internship, which has taught me a lot about behavior, patience, and safe handling. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me with their pets, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give the ones I work with at school. Majority of my classes are online this semester so pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and weekend care. I only care for pets in their own home. I actually prefer it because most pets feel safer and more relaxed in a space they already know. With my pre veterinary background, I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and routine. I follow whatever schedule you already have in place and make sure they get the same care they are used to. I keep things calm, clean, and comforting so your pet feels secure while you are away. My goal is for you to feel at peace knowing your pet is being cared for by someone who truly understands animals and loves what they do.
“Rose is amazing! Our pups were very well cared for and loved on while we were away. She’s great about giving updates and sending pictures! Our house is spotless, she vacuumed and even brushed our pups as an added bonus! Highly recommend her, you won’t have to worry about your pups while you’re gone at all!”
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 update my colander regularly, but sometimes things come up, just message me! 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”.
“Mackenzie was amazing with my 2 anxious Shiba Inus. She took her time to get to know them and they loved here. Mackenzie was communicative and did exactly what she said she would. I would definitely recommend booking her for your pets!”
“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!!💕”
“Cameron is amazing! She watched my two pups for a week, and they had the best time! She took incredible care of our house and left it cleaner than the way she found it! Will definitely book again!”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Antonio on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 333 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.

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.
