“Rylee is truly the best cat sitter we have ever had! We were so overjoyed watching the photos and videos of her progress with our especially shy kitty—who usually hides and hisses around strangers, needs daily meds, and requires specialty care. Rylee was a total genius and managed to bond beautifully with both of our cats, leaving them looking so happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for. Her communication was fantastic throughout, sending consistent updates and accepting tips on how to earn their trust, which gave us complete peace of mind during our long trip. On top of her incredible pet care, she also house sat for us and kept everything in perfect order. Words can’t describe how grateful we are for the incredible care she gave our fur babies—we will definitely be rehiring her in the future!”
“Mireya was great very nice girl, send lots of photos while I was gone. Kept the cat litter clean, and gave the cats fresh water each visit, I'm happy with her and will keep using her help in the future :) thanks Mireya”
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”
“Jessica took great care of my cats while I was out of town. She kept me up to date, and sent pictures so I knew my cats were happy and fed at the end of each visit. :)”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years, including dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine, providing exercise, feeding on schedule, administering basic medications when needed, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work from home full-time, so have plenty of time to attend to your pup! Our work schedules are very flexible so will always be available for potty breaks, quick outdoor walks and play time. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks and one friendly dog. (I can separate if needed) I can also crate your dog if requested or needed.
“Makaela was great and super nice. Easy to communicate with and provides plenty of pics! You can tell Makaela truly loves animals, she even fed my outside kitties and bird friends for me. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family for petting sitting 👍🏽”
“Ellie did a fantastic job watching 2 adult cats and 9 kittens! She was able to get pics of our elusive Parker!! And gave medicine to one kitten as well! Would definitely recommend her and we will be using her again!!”
“Sara was available on short notice for my two dogs first drop in visit. She was quick to respond to the request and has been easy to work with. She quickly made friends and made them feel comfortable. Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10 yrs old. From big to small, old to young, and wild to couch potato’s. I have skills when it comes to training puppies and taking care of senior dogs due to my fur babies. I’m currently not working this summer, giving me plenty of time to love on your fur babies and take care of them. I can do house sitting only on weekends and maybe some holidays as well. I have two senior dogs that I give daily medication to, take on short walks and make sure to give them water breaks on our walks. Then I have two high- energy dog who I take on trail walks and play with them until they are mentally and physically exhausted.Through the day I make sure to give them all loves and cuddles. I will do the same for you fur babies as well.
“Jackson took exceptional care of my dogs while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, he treated them with genuine love and kindness. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and happy around him - they absolutely loved him. He carefully followed every instruction I left, paid attention to the little details, and was always punctual and dependable. Knowing my dogs were in such caring and responsible hands gave me complete peace of mind throughout the trip. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and takes their responsibility seriously, I wholeheartedly recommend Jackson. I am incredibly thankful for everything he did, and I would trust him with my dogs again without hesitation. Thank you, Jackson, for caring for my furry family members as if they were your own!”
“Olivia is the best. She did an amazing job looking after our little kitten Jasper while we were away. We were very nervous to leave him home alone for an entire week, but Olivia took excellent care of him, and made us feel like he was right there with us the entire time. She really bonded with him, played with him, made sure all his necessities were met, and did all the things he needed to feel safe, secure and loved ❤️. We recommend her to anyone who needs a cat or dog sitter and we will not hesitate to have her back again.”
About: NOTE: Not taking any new boarding requests for November 2026. One of my dachshunds, Olsen, just had emergency back surgery, so I will be focusing on his recovery. ——— I grew up with a wide variety of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish), have been pet-sitting an even wider variety (parakeets, turtles) since I was a teenager, and also trained service dogs for two different organizations in college. I am currently the go-to pet sitter for most of my friends and family because they know I will treat their pets like my own (i.e. happy and spoiled). ——— I have experience with pets in all stages of life, as well as those with special needs. If your pet takes medications or has a complicated feeding schedule, I can easily handle it (bonus points if you provide detailed notes, though!). I am an office worker with a hybrid schedule, so I’m only in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I am available for boarding and drop-in visits most weekdays, weekends and holidays. I own a small, single-story home with a large, fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of walking trails and parks nearby. I strive to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for all. Pets are also welcome on the furniture (I mean, where else will those snuggle sessions occur?). --- I have one cat and two dachshunds, so my house is both cat- and dog-friendly. I provide several cat trees, scratching posts, and litter boxes throughout the house. I also have multiple dog crates, as well as ramps up to the bed and couches.
About: Hi! I'm Kylee, your pets new favorite sitter! I have been around various types of pets my whole life and currently have 5 fur babies of my own and a home full of personality. I understand that every pet is different and has different needs, and that's what I love most! I don't just watch your pets, I actually connect with them and make them feel as comfortable as possible! Whether your pet is high-energy, anxious, shy, or even sassy, I take the time to get to know them and cater to their special needs. As a pet parent, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone else while you're away, so I aim to make the experience as easy and reassuring as possible. You'll always get consistent updates, photos, and real communication so you never have to worry while you're away. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, and your pets to be happy, relaxed, and loved like they're my own. I currently go to school two days a week for 3 hours and work part time. I have plenty of time to give quality care and love to pets throughout my week! I'll care for pets in my clients home by following their usual routines, providing fresh food and water, making sure they are let outside or have a clean litter box, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I will be sure to keep strong communication with their families and sending regular updates so their owner feels confident they are being well cared for.
About: Being raised around cats my whole life, I started pet sitting for friends at 13. As a nanny, I also pet sit for the families I care for as well. Currently working part-time so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m a nanny, but my shifts tend to be short so I can schedule sits easily. I request written instructions/information so that if I’m unsure about anything or need to review information—there is no confusion. I am happy to match your desired level of communication, whether that’s photos and/or messages after each visit, daily reports, or more minimal options.
About: I’ve taken care of puppy’s-senior dog, I had my dog since she was a puppy and she is now a senior dog she lives at my dads house because I moved out about a year ago. I’m good taking dogs on walks, playing, belly rubs!! I am currently a part time babysitter so I have extra time on my hands! I love going to the animal shelter and taking out the dogs to play, so this would be great for me. I would make sure to treat them as my own read instructions and follow them to a tea. Give them lots of belly rubs and snuggles, playtime and lots of times around me.
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets my entire life, giving me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and routines. I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own—providing plenty of love, attention, patience, and dependable care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I’m committed to making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am able to work full-time day or night for whatever needs your furry friends may have! I am devoted to giving your pets all the loving care that they need! I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine, keeping their space clean and safe, and giving them plenty of attention and love—just like their owners would.
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.

Absolutely grateful for Samantha taking care of our cat Minnie. She was very responsive with communication and dependable. Samantha shared detailed reports with photos of her drop in visits with our cat. I really appreciate that she is patient because our cat is a feral rescue. Minnie trusted Samantha right away and interacted with her. I would recommend Samantha for your pet care needs any day and she is someone I trust in our home when we are away. Thank you, Samantha!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Helotes is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 November 2026, there are 372 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Helotes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Helotes. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 cancellation policy, 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.
