About: Hello there! I am a bonafide animal lover. I grew up with cats and dogs ranging from kittens and puppies to senior cats and large breed dogs. This isn’t about making money for me but spending time doing what I love. I always place my pets in the best care when I’m out of town and I can be that for you and your pets. I won’t just check on your pets but bond with them and create a relationship with them. I will communicate with you every time I pet sit your pet and be sure to pay close attention to any unusual behavior to make sure they aren’t becoming ill or have become injured. I am a very attention to detail type person and will be sure to follow any instructions you leave. Monday through Friday anytime after 5pm works best for me, but I’m super flexible Saturday and Sundays and even Holidays. I can come on a regular basis/weekly also. I’m an avid walker and would love the company of walking dogs! So whether that’s around your neighborhood or with your permission to take a them to a park I’m all for it! I’m also more than happy to take care of dogs and cats at your home.
About: I have always had a family dog (or two) around and know how important they are to you! Just recently we lost our two dogs (Conner—16 and Copper—13) and miss the love and energy they brought to our lives! I know the peace of mind having good help can bring to a pet owner and believe I can help whenever your furbaby needs me! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I will have plenty of time to give your pet all the attention they need! I enjoy being outside so potty breaks and walks are no bother at all! My backyard is fully fenced in with grass in the majority of the yard. I am very good at recognizing when dogs need to burn off energy with play time or when they need extra attention. If you have a routine/schedule that works for your pet, I am happy to oblige!
About: I've grown up with multiple dogs in my home at all times, and most of those being medium and large dogs. I am consistently taking care of my friends and family's dogs when they go on vacation, whether its quick drop ins to let them go potty or all weekend involved go sittings. And I'm familiar with various forms of medication administration and am willing to provide whatever level of physical activity required for your specific breed of dog. I am currently in the process of looking for a new part time job, but I do still work occasionally during the week. My weekends are almost entirely available as well as most evenings. I will follow instructions and expectations exactly as I'm told. Making sure your fur baby doesn't go anywhere they're not supposed to and spending as much time with them as possible during my visits.
“My dog usually goes to daycare, but if he’s sick or injured and needs to be out for a while, I use Rover. I look for Alexandria every time. She is sweet and attentive to my dog and communicative with me. I am so glad she was available again to help us. My dog loves spending time with her! I am a repeat customer of hers and I’m sure she has many! Thanks, Alexandria!”
About: I've spent several years caring for both dogs and cats through pet ownership and pet sitting, and I truly love getting to know each animal's unique personality. I've owned dogs of all sizes—from a corgi to a Saint Bernard—so I'm comfortable with pets of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have an extensive history of pet sitting for a variety of clients while in high school and in college, and for the past several months, I've also been pet sitting for physicians in the San Antonio Medical Center, and I've really enjoyed helping give them peace of mind while they're away! I'm happy to help with just about any pet-sitting need, whether that's drop-in visits, daycare, overnight stays, or house sitting. I'm also open to caring for all kinds of animals, not just dogs and cats! My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, and to keep you updated so you know they're in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your pets and give them the same love and attention I'd give my own! I am currently a medical student, but have a pretty light course load this semester! I am typically in class some days of the week from 8am-12pm but am pretty available otherwise! I have no problem stopping by before and after my classes if needed on the days that I am in class (typically 3/7 days of the week). I am very flexible with whatever the rules/ preferences for each pet may be within their house! I understand that each family has different routines with their pets and have no problem doing my best to accommodate them! I also prefer to keep in frequent contact with the owners I have sat for in the past with texts and photos to send updates!
“He is very attentive and kind with us and with the dogs, always punctual, and you can tell he genuinely wants to do things well. His interest in the well-being of the pets is sincere”
About: My parents bred/showed dogs all my life so I grew up with dogs in all stages of life around and also have experience training and showing. I have a 3 yr old Staffy who does agility and diving. I'd love the opportunity to hang out with your pet. Im not currently working as I am disabled but am looking for something to help me be more active. I'll have plenty of time to hang with your pet. Im available pretty much any time with some notice. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I will respect your home and am big on following whatever directions you have for me for their care.
“100% recommend, was in time. Even waited for me while I couldn’t respond. My girl is so shy but happily went on a walk with her. Would definitely contact her again for macy!”
About: I am from Australia and new to San Antonio. I have joined the Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation centre and volunteer there once a week to learn about the native Texan population. I am a nurse and work part-time from home. I can only look after cats, birds, reptiles and fish - basically any animal except a dog! I am a nurse and lucky enough to work flexible part-time hours from home. I will be able to dedicate time and care to your baby! As I only look after cats, birds, reptile and any other small non-dog animals they will be inside the house with me in full cool/heated home with 2 adults to look after their social and physical needs.
About: Been around animals my whole life, from giant dogs to tiny little chaos machines haha. Comfortable/ LOVE feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and handling stressful situations calmly if emergencies happen! I am currently an all round year student, studying nursing! For summer, I am enrolled in online and have flexibility majority of the day to be able to care for your precious pets! As long as your pet does not bite my head off I will feel safe! know how important your pets are because I feel the same way about the animals I’ve cared for throughout my life. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets can feel at home. I pay close attention to routines, behaviors, and individual needs while providing plenty of love, playtime, and supervision. I believe trust is built through communication, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Eric was quick to reply and genuinely cared about making my dog’s day. He took my Dalmatian on a nice long walk and also played with him in the backyard on both days I booked. Eric was great about keeping me in the loop and making me feel included while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. He’s an awesome person, clearly loves what he does, and I’ll absolutely be rebooking with Eric.”
“Destiny was great. She agreed to a meeting in greet a few days before and she was very attentive to our needs for training our dog. My mother says she was very easy to work with. We already have her booked again for this coming week.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Balcones Heights is $19
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balcones Heights
Faith has a wonderful way with animals. When she stopped by to meet Wesley before his first walk, he was so excited you'd think they had been friends for months! Even my cats warmed up to her quickly, which is saying a lot since they're usually very standoffish with new people. When I came home from work, Wesley seemed happy and relaxed, which is always a sign that he's had a great walk. Faith was also punctual, professional, and clearly attentive to his needs. I highly recommend Faith to anyone looking for a pet sitter, dog walker, or even a cat whisperer!
Maddison was awesome. Super kind, easy to communicate with, and great with Roxy. She sent updates and pics after every visit which I really appreciated—it made it easy to relax knowing Roxy was in good hands. You can tell she actually cares, and Roxy was clearly happy the whole time. I’m really happy with how everything went and would definitely book with her again.
Such a great help! I love the amount of photos she takes of my furbaby. She's saved me on last minute request, I'm talking up to an hour before. She let's me know everytime when she's inside, when they start a walk, and gives an update halfway through the walk. She set such a high standard that I get bummed when I use another walker because they don't take all those pictures and give that many updates. I'm definitely a repeat customer every week! Such a great person you can trust with your furbaby!
Eric was quick to reply and genuinely cared about making my dog’s day. He took my Dalmatian on a nice long walk and also played with him in the backyard on both days I booked.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Balcones Heights. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Balcones Heights.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Balcones Heights. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
