“Erica did an amazing job watching over our pups and cat. She was super friendly, sent pictures, and communicated well. We loved that we could go on a trip and not stress about our babies. Excellent service and will definitely book again!”
“I found John when my regular sitter couldn’t help, and he was awesome with my dog, Migo. He dropped in on Migo making sure he had dinner, fresh water, a walk, and some playtime. He even tidied up Migo’s bed and toys, which was such a nice touch. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates John sent after each visit—they were great to read and showed how much he cared. Highly recommend him!”
“Susan was great! We appreciated her watching our 2 dogs and how communicative she was. She even went the extra mile in cleaning up a little mess and bringing our packages in. 5 stars and will definitely use her again!!”
“Tom is great. He always does a great job and is super friendly. He has been a lifesaver for us. We were in a pinch and found out we needed to leave town and he was so accommodating and we truly appreciate him. Highly recommend.”
“Fantastic. Samantha is fantastic! She’s punctual, warm, and incredibly easy to communicate with. I immediately felt comfortable which is saying a lot for me as Ace’s mom. She’s also very responsible and respectful of my home. Ace loves her and gets sooooo excited to see her on walk days!! Don’t hesitate to contact Samantha—your search is over!”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and learned from an early age how to care for them. My dad runs a dog sitting business in Colombia, so I’ve been around all kinds of pups—helping with feeding, walking, and keeping them happy. I bring that same love and attention to every pet I meet. I’m a senior in high school with both late arrival and early dismissal, which means I’m free most mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This flexible schedule gives me plenty of time during the week for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I’m also available for boarding on weekends, making sure your pets get plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced backyard where your pet can safely play and get fresh air. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“Neo has been so helpful checking in on my cats! I routinely have to go stay overnight in Austin for work for 2-3 days at a time and will continue to hire Neo in the future as well so I know my cats are in good hands.”
“Wonderful caregivers! My GSD and kitty were pampered while I was out of town and I couldn’t have been more happy with who was in my home. Amazing service and will absolutely use again (:”
About: After accumulating many volunteer hours over the last two years with Animal Defense League and Bulverde Humane Society through dog walking, kennel cleaning, and enrichment classes, I am looking to add "pet sitting" to my list of hobbies as a dog lover! On top of my formal experience with pet care, I have two of my own dogs and subscribe to the life-long-dog-lover club. One of my own dogs is often reactive (got some major stranger danger over here), so I am familiar with caring for and walking dogs who can be reactive and need special care. I also have lots of practice administering daily medications to both of my dogs, and am currently helping my other (non-reactive) dog recover from TPLO surgery. I am definitely up for a challenge! **Open availability during school breaks**!! If you need to schedule last minute drop in visits and/or walks for spring break, I would love to help! These are the hours I am available outside of school breaks: M-F: 6:00am-6:45am, 4:30pm-7:00pm Weekends: Open availability (6:00am-8:00pm) I would love to feed, water, walk, and love on your dogs while you are away. If your dogs need an extra energy outlet, I run with my personal dog canicross style nearly every day, and am happy to get some extra miles in with your pup!
“Very caring for animals of all kinds, and amazing communication! Yaretzi is trustworthy and has a positive attitude. Looking forward to booking her to watch my pets again in the future!”

I’m so grateful for Tara’s help!! I was in a bit of a bind when I found out at basically the last minute that I’d need to leave town (and my very nervous dog) for an all-day event. Even worse, it was during Fiesta so most sitters were booked solid. Luckily, Tara was able to squeeze me in, and she did an excellent job sitting my two dogs. She gave me regular updates with lots of photos of my dogs that made me more comfortable I had left my pups in good hands. My one dog can be pretty shy and skeptical of new people, but she worked really hard to try to win his trust and didn’t push him to interact before he was ready. I really appreciated her compassion in dealing with him and would definitely consider her again for future bookings.
This is the 3rd time we have used Tim to watch our pups & it was our biggest challenge! THIS time we left 5 in his care that varied from 9lbs-80lbs & 2yrs old-13yrs old. Two of our fur babies have never been taken care of by anyone other than a close family member & normally always travel with us but circumstances did not allow this trip. In the past, we would have adjusted our travel plans & someone would have had to stay home but because of our past experience with Tim & our trust in him, we all were able to enjoy a family trip together. I am forever grateful to him! HE IS AMAZING!!!!
This was my first time using a sitter through Rover. Jessica did a great job caring for my two elderly cats! She is kind, has a great personality and my cats did very well with her. One of my cats tends to hide from people until he gets to know them. Both my cats came out and took to her at the first meeting. She gave one of my cats a pill (medicine) and took the other to get his sub cutaneous fluids a couple times during my absence. She was very responsive when I texted her. I love the pictures she took of my cats.
During the visit my dogs were more nervous than usual and needed a little extra time to warm up. What stood out was that she went above and beyond. She picked up food and water from Target curbside due to our unforeseen situation. That level of effort and follow through meant a lot. Due to my dogs being a bit anxious, I truly appreciate her communication, professionalism, and the extra care she showed.
Fantastic. Samantha is fantastic! She’s punctual, warm, and incredibly easy to communicate with. I immediately felt comfortable which is saying a lot for me as Ace’s mom. She’s also very responsible and respectful of my home. Ace loves her and gets sooooo excited to see her on walk days!! Don’t hesitate to contact Samantha—your search is over!
Sophie was absolutely fantastic! My dog was happy, healthy and very well cared for. She was able to provide routine and lots of love for my pet which allowed me to enjoy my time away stress-free. Thank you Sophie for being there for my English Bulldog and having the flexibility to care for this specific breed! It meant a lot to me!!!
