“I got constant updates. Lindsey is so sweet and considerate. My dogs are used to being kenneled but they also can be left to roam and she would ask for preference each day. She took her own cleaning supplies.”


“I love having Claudia take care of my girls. She’s always quick to respond, and she time stamps her visits with the Rover report card with pictures. I can relax when I’m gone because I know all is well. Recently, she gave special care to my dog, both in taking care of her needs during the visits but also she paid attention and adjusted some timing for our now more complicated schedule.”


“Olivia did great with my puppy Dolce. She was very communicative and quick with her responses. Sent lots of photo updates and kept me in the loop the entire time. Would definitely recommend!”


“Vivian was great! She was so helpful and accommodating. Great communication and updates, we will definitely ask for her help again, and would recommend her to our family and friends.”


“Let me start off by saying we had never used Rover before. We had never had someone whom we did not know personally watch our pets. Our pets are like children to us and mean the world to us, so we are very selective about who we choose to care for them when we are away. Ericka was not only a great choice, but she kept us apprised of what was happening all along the way. The animals love her and she sends great recaps and photos. We have now hired Ericka twice and she is a great, professional, caring person who we have grown to trust with our pets! Thank you, Ericka!”


“Belem took great care of my bunny while I was gone, she was very communicative and shared pictures! She did a great job and I’m very grateful I was able to enjoy my trip without having to worry about my bunny being at home :)”


“Jeremiah did a fantastic job coming by to check on my dogs and spend quality time with them while making sure they did their business. I even contacted him a bit last minute and so I really appreciated his ability to make time for them. He took plenty of pictures and wrote helpful visit summaries that put my mind at ease that my doggies were well while I was away. Highly recommend Jeremiah as a sitter!”


“April is the best pet sitter you could ask for. Professional, prompt and she pampers my pets. I think my pets look forward to me being out of town just so they can see her!”


About: I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters so I know how to handle dogs and tend to their needs. I have babysat dog for my family, family friends, neighbors. I’ve gone to check in on their puppies. I have a part-time college student. I only go to school two days out of the week and it is only in the morning time. We wake up let the dogs outside, let them back in to eat and then go back outside sometimes we will play outside will the ball. Our older dogs like to stay inside.

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 2 yr old dog 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.

“Dave has check-in on our dog a number of times now. Every time he provides above-and-beyond service. He cares for our dog so well and truly cares for her wellbeing. We will continue to hire him.”


About: I grew up in a house that always had pets - cats, dogs, or both! As a teenager, I began to take a very active role in taking care of our animals and have not stopped since. I adopted my own dog in 2020 after I graduated college, and my husband and I adopted another dog last year. We adore our dogs and prioritize their care at every turn with extra attention to details like mental stimulation, plenty of exercise and homemade dog food. I have the most experience with medium to larger sized dogs, but am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs and dogs with unique medical concerns that require special medication or attention, such as allergies, tremors, and ear infections. I am well equipped to handle whatever specific care your fur baby might need, and look forward to the opportunity to step in and love on them while you are away! I currently work full-time, but have flexibility with when I take my breaks. My husband (who will help me with any boarding responsibilities) also works but is completely remote and thus has lots of flexibility. However, my evenings and weekends are typically wide open. At our home, we have a fenced in backyard, security cameras and floodlights, and live in a neighborhood with lots of sidewalk access. We have a routine with our own dogs that includes twice daily feedings, bathroom breaks every few hours, daily mile long walks, evening play sessions, homemade dog food, and lots of cuddles. We do not crate our dogs because they are well behaved enough to be trusted, but we have an extra crate or can accommodate your crate in our home pending your preferences. I am quite familiar with the greater San Antonio area and feel comfortable getting out to walk dogs in other parts of the city. I believe in keeping furry friends as close to their routine as possible while their owners are away to minimize stress and anxiety and make sure they feel loved. That said, I always take guidance from pet parents when traveling to take care of new pets!

“Sarah took such great care of our cat Phoebe! Daily I received texts and pictures. I definitely would use Sarah’s services again if I need a responsible caregiver for our animals.”
