It’s not always easy to leave your pets with someone else, but we felt comfortable knowing Chubbs and Salvie were being cared for with love and attention. We truly appreciate her kindness and reliability and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter. We would absolutely book with her again!”

“I am amazed to say that David has a pure soul for dogs. When he met babygirl he was so very gentle with her. It seemed as if these two spoke there own language . Babygirl was welcomed and she welcomed David. I was on vacation for 8 days and every day I received photos and updates of what they where doing . He took her hiking every day and had play time and she gave him his study time. She became his reading buddy. Both have bonded and seemed to have found an amazing balance of harmony. He really made sure babygirl has what she needs. I am so blessed to have found David to take care of Babygirl. I will most definitely use his care again. He is so very much polite and kind , I enjoy hearing from him with updates of his time with Babygirl.”
“Charlie has never been boarded and we tried boarding him a month ago with a local dog boarding facility, unfortunately he did not do well, was sad for days after picked him up and took 3 days before he wagged his tail again. Kathryn has done an excellent job trying to get to know our anxious dog and help get him ready for our extended trip away from him. We arranged a meet and greet at a park and then scheduled a doggy daycare afternoon so that he can familiarize himself with his upcoming in-home boarding.”
“Xander had an absolutely wonderful time with Elizabeth! She sent daily updates and was very responsive. Even when we were delayed due to traffic, she was very accommodating and kept Xander a bit longer. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a great short or long term dog sitter in the San Antonio area!”
“Gennivere is absolutely amazing! She has been walking our 11 week Olde for a bit and just had him for a weekend. He came back happy and healthy. Gennivere is extremely respectful of everything we ask, maintains his home training (reinforcing his commands, wiping paws etc) as well as being firm but gentle and providing lots of affection. She also provides excellent and timely updates with multiple photos and videos, and is extremely responsive. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“This was our 4th time using Jennifer & David. As expected, everything went smoothly and our puppy had a great time with them. There were other dogs there as well, which provides a good chance for our dog to learn proper social skills with other dogs. We will for sure, be using Jennifer & David again, next time we need a sitter! Thanks!”

Victoria was with our fur baby! She sent pictures and gave us updates throughout her stay. Our flight was delayed by 10 hours and Victoria was very accommodating which was so nice to have one less thing to worry about. We highly recommend Victoria and hope our dog can enjoy another vacation with her soon!
Huge shoutout to Megan for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away. She kept me updated, made sure everything was handled, and treated my dog like family. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says everything. Reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Megan to anyone needing someone dependable to watch their pets! 🐾🙌
Alyssa was incredibly kind and took such wonderful care of Bella. We received constant updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease while we were away. She also ensured Bella was comfortable and well cared for during the entire stay. Alyssa was also very flexible with our schedule, which was a huge help and made the whole process stress-free. Thank you for taking such good care of our Bellita!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Helotes is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $50 per night. 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 1,396 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Helotes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Helotes can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Helotes home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Helotes.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Helotes. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Helotes sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
