About: Hi, I moved out here for my job leaving my 2 dogs at home. I need new furry friends to take my attention away from me🧡 I love taking dogs out for walk, play tags with them, and basically just sit there and enjoy being their company. I am usually pretty flexible on any weekends (Day/Night) Weekdays are negotiable upon request, I try to work around client's schedule most of the times I will keep eyes on the furry friends. Main focus is to feed the pets, take them out for a walk to destress then, go on potty breaks in between. Play with them, get them well rested for when their owners come back.

About: I am an experienced animal caregiver with over 2 decades of experience with dogs large and small, puppies and seniors, cats and kittens as well as experience with animals as small as pocket pets like ferrets, as well as animals as large as draft horses! I am very communicative with my clients as my animals are my babies and I want to ensure they are safe and happy while I am away and I ensure my clients are updated with how their furry companion(s) are handling their absence. Due to having 4 dogs and a medium sized cat, I no longer offer boarding at my home however my schedule for house sitting and drop in visits / walks is usually pretty open. Send me a message and we can chat to see if we are a right fit! My years of experience has left me with nothing but positive feedback. I care for others pets as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation with a clean driving record and am always willing to take your pet out for a walk at a trail such as mission reach trails which I live just a few short blocks away from or to a dog park if the client sees fit.

About: I have had my dog Scooter for 9 years. He is a Dachshund who has lived with dogs as big as a Newfie/Saint Bernard as well as small dogs like pugs. I haven't found one that he hasn't gotten along with. I can provide a wide range of services and live only 5 minutes from work so I can usually stop home every couple hours to meet the needs of your pet. When I go out of town I know the level of comfort I need to leave my dog with someone so I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet enjoys their time and you have peace of mind in whatever service I can provide to you. I look forward to working with you and your pets!

About: Howdy, my name is Brianna and I just recently graduated Texas A&M University. I’ve been around dogs and animals all my life and own my own fur ball named Duck. I would love to share my love for animals with your very own whether it be a dog or cat …. Or chickens!!! :) I don’t discriminate! I’m currently taking a gap from from school so I don’t really have a hard set schedule at the moment. I’m available early mornings or late at night Every pet owner has a routine for their own so I like to do things as the owner would feel most comfortable. For my dog Duck I take her on 2-3 walks a day (depending on how hot it is outside) 2 of those walks take place on a hover board as she runs besides me, it’s her fav! I also drop in on cats and feed, water, and spend quality time with them as well as dogs. As I’ve said before I’m here for you how ever you need me to be!

About: I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small to giant. Specifically dog sitting and drop in visits for family and friends. I have experience with dog walks as well which I enjoy since it is great exercise necessary to any dog. I’m currently a full time student that needs a job with flexible hours. I have classes four times a week but the remainder of week I have free time. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog buddy for your pet. I also have cameras outside on all sides of my home to ensure the safety of your pet. But I will be monitoring your pet because I’ll be outside with them for potty breaks. My pet is crate trained which I can utilize if necessary.

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! Which means a lot of time for walking and playing and attention to your pet! My pets have a big backyard where they can bark and chase squirrels all day. I also have a crate if needed or preferred. Pets are like family so I love keeping them close by!

About: I've owned to dogs in the spanned of 12 years. Both 100 plus pounds, I've also worked with medium size breeds and toy breeds. I also own exotic and cats. I have worked in the retail industry catering towards animals and have volunteered sitting for farm animals. I'm at the moment working towards a degree in veterinary medicine full time. I do not work so this would be my main source of income. Since I am fully dedicating previously my time to school. Close monitoring and calm approach to any situation or environment are essential when it comes to the care of animals in my possession. Patience and building a bond is also very important and key to building a long lasting relationship with my animals.

“First time using Rover. We have 2 small dogs- one of which needs insulin injections. After searching I finally landed on booking Lauren for a weekend of drop in visits and everything went perfectly! She was so communicative and reliable; as well as super sweet with our little fur babies. I have already booked her again. 12/10 recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up in a home where my parents bred dogs, so I have experience caring for puppies as well as small and large breeds. I’m very familiar with feeding schedules, basic training, and giving dogs the attention and care they need at every stage. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I’m very hands-on with daily care, routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day and give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and love. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re with me 🤍 Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m available anytime to give your pet consistent attention, supervision, and love throughout the day and night :) I offer pet care both in my home and in my client’s home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with constant supervision since pet sitting is my full time job. I also have a room dedicated fully to pet sitting with toys, cat tree, dog beds, ball pit and lots of treats and enrichment activities. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

About: Hi! My name is Mickey. I'm 30 years old and I have been a caretaker for animals of all shapes and sizes throughout my entire life. Though I am new to Rover, I have been an independent professional pet sitter for the last 5 years in Austin and San Antonio, and I would love to meet you and your fur babies! I am experienced with animals who have special needs such as untrained puppies, senior care, reactive, hyperactive or nervous pets and extra large breeds. If you're looking for reassurance that your sitter can handle anything, look no further! I'm here to help and offer care for your pets that you can always count on. I am a freelance artist and full time pet sitter, so my schedule can be very flexible to your travel needs. I have a dog of my own at home so I may need to leave for a couple of hours during the day, but other than that I am typically available any time of the day or night. I am very meticulous about the safety of your pets. I will check yard gates daily before letting them out to ensure no one accidentally gets out. I offer 2 walks per day with my base rate. I wash all food and water bowls daily and you can expect to come home to a clean yard and tidy home.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Elmendorf

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Elmendorf is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,545 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Elmendorf. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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.

To find sitters in Elmendorf with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elmendorf. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
