“Brittney was so sweet and kind to my baby! She was patient with her as my dog warmed up to her and was such a reliable walker. My dog will love to hang out with her again!”
About: I'm excited to meet you and your dog! I've dogsitted for family friends for a couple years and am familiar with following their own care routines: walking daily, picking up poop in the yard, practicing certain dietary regimens, and senior care. Just let me know what your routine looks like! I have plenty of time on the weekend to take care of your fur baby! As a college student, I try to fit pet care in whenever I can. Generally I am free Fri, Sat, Sun, and Wednes but if you need more help we can try to work something out! I will be available to walk, sit, and drop in at clients' homes! As for on-boarding at my apartment, I sadly won't be able to house your fur baby with my two kitties.

About: I can't remember a time in my life where I haven't had dogs or cats in my house. Just recently we have had two dogs in our home and three cats! I have gotten very used to caring for dogs & cats and having them around all the time. I miss having a pet close by and that's why I have chosen to work with Rover! I live in the North East side of San Antonio. My area is close to wonderful paved trails and a nice shaded dog park. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I hope you will trust me to care for your family member! I am in a season of life where I have a lot of flexibility so I can focus on caring for your pet!

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. 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.

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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
