“We had Lauren house sit for us for a week and our Cocker Spaniels loved her. Communication was outstanding and she kept us updated by sending us photos while we were away. She is highly recommended and we will be booking her again for future trips.”

About: Hi, my name is Savannah Widder, and I've been around animals all my life, and love caring for every one of them. I've worked with animals like dogs, cats, and rats. I also have experience working with diabetic dogs, requiring daily injections. I am a college student working a part-time job, so please reach out to figure out if my availability works for you. I am a college student working a part-time job. Classes take up my time from 12:00pm-4:00pm Monday-Thursdays. I typically work an evening shift, so from 5:30pm-10:00pm at the latest. I would be available to see your pets morning, afternoons before work, and evenings after a shift. I have five cats and three dogs of my own, so I’m very experienced with caring for multiple pets. My pets are fed twice a day, and my dogs are let out 4–5 times a day. I keep my cats groomed, their claws trimmed, and their litter boxes clean. When pet sitting, I visit three times a day—morning, afternoon, and evening. Morning visits are usually 30 minutes to an hour, afternoon 30 minutes, while evening visits are typically 1–2 hours. I make sure pets are fed, cared for, given attention, and kept comfortable while their owners are away.
“Hope was great with our two dogs while we were away! She made them feel comfortable and happy, and also updated us with pics. Her response time was great if we ever needed to check in and she took such great care of both of them overall!”

“Ella did a great job with our animals on a short notice booking. She was very helpful and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of during our time away.”


About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was 5 years old, so caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family members countless times, giving me experience caring for dogs outside my own home. I genuinely love being around dogs and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, feeding, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. You can count on me to make sure your dog gets plenty of love while you’re gone! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of free time and flexibility to care for your dog! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting! I can work with your schedule to make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and love. I’m happy to communicate with you about your dog’s needs and provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Having owned dogs since I was 5, I understand the importance of following routines and paying attention to each dog’s needs. I’ll follow your instructions, keep you updated, and treat your pup like family!
“Kadence is an amazing sitter! I have four adorable fur babies, and they can be quite challenging, but Kadence handled everything with ease. I can't wait to book her again for our pet care needs she's simply the best!”

About: Ten years caring for dogs of every size, I specialize in small breeds but open to all sizes and breeds, offering calm, unrushed walks with flexible scheduling and photo updates every visit. I work night shifts, which gives me flexible daytime hours to dedicate to your dog. I’m typically available for walks mid-morning through early afternoon on weekdays, with some weekend availability too. Since I’m not juggling a second daytime job, your walk won’t be squeezed between other commitments. Safety comes first on every walk — I always use a secure leash and harness setup, stay alert to other dogs and traffic, and never take shortcuts on route or timing. I have two miniature dachshunds at home, so I understand small-breed handling, from careful leash tension to watching for signs of fatigue.
About: Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting my page! I currently have an energetic black lab & grew up with a Klee Kai Husky so am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I am offering daily dog check ins and walks, and will be accompanied by my (adorable) 5-month old sidekick daughter! We do walks with a stroller. Baby A will not interact with your pet- she's just along for the ride! Can't wait to meet your fur-babies! I was recently laid off from my remote job so now I am a stay at home mom! We have open availability during the week and may be available on weekends depending on our schedule. As I am sure most caregivers say...we really do treat each pet as if they were our own. Dog's are truly man's best friends & we love getting to spend time with your fur-babies!
About: I've grown up around animals my entire life, and honestly, I think animals have always been my favorite kind of company! 🐾 I grew up with cats and dogs, and my family has had three German Shepherds over the years. Today, I'm a proud pet mom to a rescue pit bull mix and a rescue cat, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust to care for your pets when you're away, especially when friends and family aren't available. I want to be that person you can feel comfortable leaving your pets with, knowing they'll receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I'm happy to get to know each pet's unique personality, respect their routines, follow your instructions, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'm excited to meet them where they are! Rescue animals hold a special place in my heart, and I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and to feel loved. I would treat your pets with the same care and consideration I give my own. ❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I can work with your pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I also have pets of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and making sure our furry family members are well cared for. I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and find a schedule that works best for both of us! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone else's pets. As a pet mom to a rescue dog and cat, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving the same love and attention they get at home. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications if needed, and any specific rules or preferences. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, keep pets away from unsafe foods or items, and pay attention to their behavior so I can recognize when something seems unusual. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space, keep food and water areas tidy, clean litter boxes as needed, and provide updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing. I understand that every animal has a different personality, and I always aim to make them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. My goal is to give you peace of mind while treating your pets and your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine!
“Braydon did a great job taking care of my dog and two cats. His updates were frequent, very detailed and included many pictures. I could tell my pets were happy and really liked him. I think one of my cats wanted to go home with him ☺️ He also left the house very tidy and clean. I will definitely book Braydon again!”

About: I've experienced the magic of pets since I was young. My parents' house includes a Shih Tzu, Labrador, and a mixed cat! They behave different but have tons of love that they give us. We love our pets, and I know you love yours, too. I've cared for pets of a variety of ages and sizes. I update clients every day / walk that their pet is in my care. If you need a scheduled sitter in advance or a last minute sitter, just ask! Let's work together. First-time clients get 10% off for the first appointment. I'm responsible and trustworthy. I hold a master's degree and work full-time, but can step away during lunch breaks to feed pets and can go after 5pm. I also love giving daily updates on your pet while you are away! For house sitting, I leave your home the way I find it. I appreciate a clean space in my own home, and I take pride in respecting your home. I enjoy jogging / hiking. I regularly walk my parents' Labrador when I am home; thus, taking your fur baby on a walk is not a challenge for me. I walk often, and will be sure to keep your pets safe! I am aware of snakes and other predators lurking in San Antonio's trails and have training in snake bite care. I haven't had to use it, yet, but it is good info to know! I can walk your dog anytime after 5pm, Mondays - Fridays. I am usually flexible with my time on weekends if given advanced notice. I do not walk pets in extreme heat (outside temperature of 90 or more, unless there is ample shade in your neighborhood), as I prioritize their safety/wellness and do not want to burn their paws.

“Rachel is amazing! That's all I need to say, book her! As a dog lover myself, it was reassuring to find a sitter who loves my pups as much as me - and Rachel does. Upon meeting her, all three of my dogs were immediately comfortable and even rolled over for belly rubs :) -- I have one senior dog who I was particularly worried about leaving, but Rachel kept me at ease with constant communication and pictures. I will definitely book sitting with her again. Thank you Rachel! -- Lola, Toro, and Roxy miss you!”

“Timothy responded so quickly and really helped us when our other booking had to unexpectedly be cut short! He was very professional and was very communicative through the entire booking and sent so many pictures and updates, which we loved! He really was able to help us enjoy the rest of our trip by giving us a peace of mind with how well our pets were taken care of!”

About: I’ve always loved taking care of pets and I’m usually the #1 person my family comes to when they need a sitter! I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to all kinds of needs that pets may have. I enjoy playing, walking, feeding and making sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. I am currently a college student at UTSA and am available most of the week to take care of any pets! I would love to meet them! Although I will not be boarding I’m more than happy to do pop ins and pet sit at your house! Trust that all pets will be greatly taken care of and all of their needs will be met. I value making the whole family feel comfortable with my services and leave your mind at ease when it comes to me being your sitter!
“Danni did such a great job taking care of our animals in our house while we were on a 10 day trip. Our two dogs are cat, a rabbit and our fish all looked happy and loved when we came home. Thank you so much for doing such a great job!”

“Wendy did a fantastic job for us taking care of our fur-babies and house while we were out of town. She was very communicative and sent us regular updates and photos showing our pups happy and relaxed. She was proactive in alerting us to an issue before it became a problem (we left a window down in our vehicle!). She left the house very clean and handled our mail and trash collection flawlessly. She followed all of our instructions for the pups including giving medication and gave us a lot of comfort that they were well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely use her again.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Fair Oaks Ranch is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fair Oaks Ranch walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fair Oaks Ranch maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Fair Oaks Ranch 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
