About: I truly love dogs and have grown up around them my whole life! Caring for animals is important to me and dogs have a certain ability to make me happy. I love long walks, playing with dog toys, and ensuring they get enough pets! Taking care of your animal takes care of me because it’s truly something that brings me joy! I will walk or take car of pets whenever I am able too. I have a full time job but do this in my free time and make a priority to take care of as many animals as possible! I care for my pets at home by ensuring they always have food and water, a clean litter box, lots of pets and I play with them. Treats too! Lots of treats lol! Both my animals have different personalities so one of them sleeps next to my head ( a must ) so I set up the pillows for her. My other one screams at my while I shower lol. My life is animals and I wouldn’t want it any other way!
“Ericka did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Molly! This was my first time using Rover so I wasn't sure how it would go having a new person take care of her doing the drop-in visits, but she loved Ericka! I also really appreciated the notes and photo updates from each check-in. I will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Hi! I'm Victoria! I've had dogs since I was about 15 and I'm proud to say that I’ve raised two puppies and loved many shelter dogs as well! I have many years of experience in caring for animals, as well as training dogs. I am also a foster for the city of San Antonio (ACS) as well as a foster for SRT and SRH (Schnauzer Rescue of Texas and Schnauzer Rescue of Houston) I love dogs, so please rest assured that your fur baby will be in great hands if you decide to book with me! I have experience in caring for animals with special needs, including medication administration and basic first aid! I'm currently working from home and I study from home as well, so my availability is pretty open! I rarely will be unavailable, because I’m able to adjust my schedule I live in a house with a fenced in yard, I'm able to throw ball outside if I ever have any dogs outside and they have plenty of room to run around and play, but I am also happy to sit in your home or walk your dog in your neighborhood! I am also okay with taking them to a park nearby if that's what you prefer!
About: I have taken care of my family dogs, big and small since I was old enough to pour their dog food. Now, I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am currently a college student on summer vacation so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to take care of your pet as needed. I have a large fenced-in yard safe for any size dog to run and play in. Additionally, I am happy to accommodate indoor dogs as needed.
“Absolutely phenomenal sitters! If you want to feel reassured that your pets will be well-cared for- these are your people. I recieved photos and updates with each check-in, and my three pups were immediately comfortable with them when we did our meet and greet. They were also so kind and understanding when I got stuck on my trip and had to extend my booking. I could not recommend them enough, and I would absolutely take advantage of their services again in the future. Thank you both for taking care of my fur family!”

“Kaylee was phenomenal! It was a last minute booking but she jumped right in. She was able to meet the boys the day before and they absolutely adored her. She was very communicative, polite, and respectful. She always reached out if she had any questions and responded fast if we needed to get ahold of her. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve had pets all throughout my life. Small dogs and big up to a Great Dane. I have been pet sitting for 1 year now. I have a dog and a cat and they are very calm I wake up and feed my animals as I take care of plants. Three times a day I water and feed everything in my house My house is fenced up and I can walk around the neighborhood if pet needs a walk to stretch it’s legs better. I have a schedule I do every morning
About: I can't remember a time I didn't have a pet, since childhood. My childhood dog's name was Wallstreet and our cat was Clara. My dog Leia is my first dog as an independent adult. I've had her for 10 years. I started a cleaning business since 2019 and my clientele grew from word of mouth from people I would house sit and pet sit for since 2016. During that time I also cared for a woman with dementia for two years, checking on her twice a day, cleaning, going on outings, and giving meds. I still have my cleaning business and am looking for a new side hustle to supplement my income. I love animals and people and have a lot of free time, so this just made sense! I hope I can help spoil and love on your pets while you can't. I have a completely open and flexible schedule. The only things I do on a regular basis are some zoom calls at 7 pm early in the week and a couple outings/errands a week for an hour or two. In my home, dogs would be walked around the beautiful hills and scenery in my neighborhood. I don't have a fenced in yard. Cats and dogs would have full reign of the apartment. Animals are allowed on furniture. Actually, I am lucky they share the couch with me.
About: I love caring for all dogs as if they were my own. I have years of experience with my own dogs as well as with friends dogs. I walk, bathe, take care of over night if that’s what your pet needs. I’m fully committed to making this my full time job. Every day I am available and willing to travel as far as 15miles for walks and check ins. Also for boarding, they can spend the night and have a great time with me and my beautiful border collie. I have a big fenced backyard with doggy door access. A crate if that’s what you prefer. My dog is very friendly and loves to play. If you want me to drop by your home and check in to feed, bathe, administer medicine, or just simply play time. If they need a walk as well.
About: Active young professional working remote that is passionate about dogs, seeking to spend more time with them! My first dog was a mini poodle and I also have owned/fostered a pit bull, a collie, and many hound mixed. My aunt owns an animal shelter where I used to live in Connecticut and I spent a lot of time there exposed to various breeds. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my dog or other dogs living their best life. I can accommodate small dogs that just want some love but also active dogs since I walk about 6-8 miles a day already and would love company. There is a dog park on my street as well if they’d prefer an open area to run. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I find myself just wandering around, walking around the parks, and can accommodate your schedule! I have one small 7 year old beagle mix that your dog could spend time with. Our days would consist of many walks (some on their own and if they don’t mind / prefer company, some with my dog) snuggling, and playing at the dog park which is normally empty. I also enjoy hiking and exploring on the weekends if your dog is into that sort of thing.
About: I have had 3 litters of puppy in my house and have helped train and bath them all. I volunteered at a pet groomer giving baths a few time. I have 5 dogs that live with me but I am moving off to college and won't have any pets so I thought this is a great way to still be around the animals I love. I am going to college however I have free time every day and wanted something to do so i can be close to animals every day. I am mostly going to be walking animals but I will also consider house sitting and going to watch animals at other peoples houses depending on the time.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elmendorf stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Elmendorf 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
