“Victoria is a fantastic dog sitter, and I would highly recommend her! She arrived during the scheduled times, followed all of our care instructions, and kept us updated with messages and photos. It was clear that our dogs were excited to see her each time she came by. Having those updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾😊”

“Second time Olalys helped me with my cats and a neighborhood dog while I was on vacation. I felt very confident with my pets being in their care and am grateful for their help.”
About: As someone who frequently pet sits for neighbors and friends, I have a lot of experience with many different kinds of furry friends. My neighbors frequently relied on me to feed and clean up after their 7 cats as they would go out of town often. Furthermore, I also pet sat 3 horses a few times for some friends leaving town. As a dog owner of 3 for 10+ years, I also have much experience with hyperactive, excitable dogs. Lastly, I had a bunny for 5 years, so I also have a lot of experience with small pets as well. I’m currently looking for a part-time schedule in the summer to pet sit. I am available to pet sit overnight with enough notice, stay for a few hours at a time, take care of animals at my home, or go on walks. I have a fenced yard and two playful beagles to keep your furry friends company. Depending on what kind of animal you and what they prefer will also dictate where they will be. But you can trust they will feel right at home.
About: My family got our first family dog about 2 years ago. She’s about 10 years old and was going to be surrendered to a shelter. I know it’s tough for older dogs to get adopted so my family stepped in to take care of her. Pets are wonderful additions to any family & I’m just happy she’s living a relaxing life with us now. I’m currently very flexible with my time and would love to incorporate more walks into my days. If I'm unsure of any schedules I will always let you know. I enjoy taking her on walks it’s something she always looks forward to and of course making sure she always has access to water. My dog has anxiety especially when it comes to loud noises. Whenever there is a storm she hides and the least I can do is offer myself as a companion to her for the meantime.
About: I’ve raised and cared for both a Shih Tzu and a Beagle, so I’m comfortable with different energy levels and personalities. I have experience with feeding routines, potty breaks, walks, crate time, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or senior, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I work weekdays from 7 AM to 3:30 PM, so I’m available for evening drop-ins during the week and have open availability on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely to make sure their pet stays comfortable and happy. I give fresh food and water, take care of potty breaks or litter boxes, and spend quality time playing or cuddling, whatever your pet prefers! I also make sure to leave your home just as I found it and send photo updates so you feel at ease.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I got my first cat at 9 years old. I adore the companionship and love animals give. Some of my best memories are centered around a fur baby and I’d love to make some memories with yours! I’m currently working full time but am able to check on during my lunch break and after work. My schedule on the weekends is very flexible and I’m typically available all day. Your pet will be my top priority when I am with them. I care for orher people's pets the same as I do mine because animals deserve love and safety. I will always listen to your instructions but I would love to give them treats, extra hugs, playtime and walks. I don’t mind changing litter boxes and I will always make sure their living area is kept clean and that they have enough food and water.
About: Whether your dog needs play time or a quiet environment, they will love hanging out with me and my 4 legged companion. When I'm not working, my dog and I go on some pretty cool adventures together and he loves it when I dog sit a dog at his speed. Your dog will not be cooped up in a kennel unless you make this request. When they are not playing, your pet will be kept indoors. I have over 10 years of working with bully breeds and hybrids. High energy breeds is my field of expertise. My home is minutes from the beautiful San Antonio River and we visit there often. Some of our favorite hangouts are, the Pearl Brewery, San Antonio Riverwalk, Alamo Quarry, Calaveras Lake and many nature trails in our area. I will spoil your Best Friend as I do my own. Proceeds from my Pet sits will benefit my non profit that provides emergency groceries for Homebound Seniors. About this sitter: I totally get it! Let me visit your pets in the comfort of their own home. I'm use to traveling and frequent the major cities of TX every month. I am very familiar with the city of S.A. and surrounding. Your dog will receive a walk twice a day if you would like him or her to. I have trained and worked with all breeds and sizes so no dog is too big or high energy for me! Why I love dog sitting My Grandfather raised German Shepherds and my Father loved Large Breeds. Growing up, I remember always having dogs. In 2000 I started a group called Mutt Rescue & Adoption to help save dogs that are pending euthanasia at the city Pound. Our group rescued and transported animals nationwide. We saved thousands of dogs from euthanasia! My experience administering medication I can administer medication by oral or injection. I can take your do on early morning walks/runs or late runs, temperature and weather permitting. I am an avid runner so high energy breeds work great with my lifestyle! I try to stick to the dog's current schedule. If it's a puppy, then I help with the toilet training process. I do have 2 cats in my home, but they can be separated to another bedroom if your dog does not co exist well with cats.
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.

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.
