“Best Rover we have ever had! Both of our cats, including our skittish one who is pretty scared of people, absolutely loved her! During the time, she was very communicative and took incredible pictures! We would and will definitely rebook! We came back to a clean and good smelling house! Thank you!”

About: Hi neighbors! When I’m not in the classroom, I’m hanging out with my 6-year-old Chihuahua and enjoying the outdoors.

PM me if you need a hand with: Afternoon walks Feeding/Check-ins Weekend sitting I have time after school and on weekends to care for your pet! The "Safety Check" Protocol: Upon arrival, I do a quick sweep of the "danger zones" (ensuring trash cans are closed, loose items are off the floor, and gates are secure). Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety. Communication: You’ll get "Report Cards" (updates and photos) after every visit so you know exactly how they’re doing. Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.

“Luis was excellent! He took extra steps to make sure my boys were comfortable when there was fireworks going outside when he didn’t have to. Luis was professional and my boys seemed to really like him. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of his services!”

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 love both cats and dogs and I have taken care of them for both neighbors and family members for the past 15 years. I would love to get to meet your pets and help take care of them while you are away! I work a remote job and have the ability to go take care of your pet as often as you need! I am excited to get to know them. I have a fenced yard and I live in a great neighborhood where I can walk them every morning and night! I can also play with them in the backyard.
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: 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 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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
