“Sam has quickly become our go-to pet sitter. He is incredibly communicative, attentive to our animals’ needs, and genuinely caring - not only toward our pets but also when it comes to our peace of mind. We always feel confident and at ease knowing our animals are in Sam’s care.”
“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 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!

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!

About: I begged my parents for a dog since I could talk. When they finally allowed me to adopt one when I was 10, she instantly became the love of my life. Two years ago, I adopted my first puppy in my adult life. He has taught me so much as a pet owner. I love meeting new dogs because every one has an unique and special personality. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs alike and cannot wait to meet your fur baby! I currently work as a swim coach and have pretty flexible hours during the morning , mid day, and early afternoon. My nights are completely free. I love going on long walks and exploring new areas. I guarantee your pup will get a great workout and come back exhausted from our adventures. Along with this, I maintain an attentive attitude within the house and am always giving my pups attention even when completing other tasks. I love playing fetch and tug-of-war!!
“Another great stay! We always feel like we can travel worry-free when Kyle is taking care of our pets. We even had a last minute addition to our furry family (who also needs some behavior work) but Kyle was there for us, no problem!”
“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!”
About: I’m a Texas A&M University Animal Science graduate with hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic. Through my veterinary experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs and have developed skills in safe animal handling, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to provide individualized, patient, and compassionate care. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or needs extra attention, I’m committed to keeping them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My veterinary background allows me to provide an extra level of confidence and attentive care for both pets and their owners. I work a consistent weekday schedule, with Wednesdays off, so I primarily offer pet care before or after work and during my lunch break, with greater availability on weekends and days off. I plan my bookings carefully to ensure I have enough time to provide each pet with attentive, unhurried care. I’m dependable and communicative, and I’ll work with you to find visit times that fit your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My veterinary experience has taught me the importance of safe animal handling, paying attention to changes in behavior, and following each pet’s individual care instructions. When caring for pets in their home, I respect your space and follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I’ll always prioritize keeping them safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I often volunteer with CAMO Rescue, where I’ve gained valuable experience caring for and spending time with different dogs. I also have three dogs of my own at home, both big and small, so I understand that every dog has their own unique needs and personality. I enjoy staying active, and taking your dog on a walk makes my day even better! I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to balance my classes while still providing plenty of time and attention for your furry friends. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, whether it’s going on walks, spending quality time with pets, or making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. A big bonus is that I get to spend more time with animals, which is something I truly love! In my own home, I make sure my dogs have a consistent routine and receive the care and attention they need every day. I feed my doggies twice a day, carefully measuring out each bowl to make sure they are getting the right amount of food. I also make sure they get daily exercise by taking them on walks and giving them plenty of playtime and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I would follow their established routine closely to help their pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“We had a wonderful experience with Sophia! She came twice a day to check on our dog, Loki, and was always punctual, attentive, and communicative. Loki is usually very timid around new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately, which speaks volumes about how caring and trustworthy she is. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her for daily check-ins, pet sitting, or any pet care needs!”

I am a loving and caring person especially for animals. I love play time with them, gives me a little exercise too haha. I also have a lot of free time outside of school so I can take good care of your baby all throughout the day.

Book me and you are guaranteed your pet will be well taken care of! 💕 and I’m a pro at silly pet pictures, so you’ll get plenty of those.

“Alison went above and beyond what we expected! She was very generous with sending information and photos. I felt like I knew exactly how each and every visit went even though I wasn’t there. We could tell from the photos our two weenies loved her! Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have lived and worked with pets my whole life, but have been a professional pet care provider for 8+ years. I spent the last 6 years at a doggy daycare in Austin, providing professional care for dogs of all kinds. I am experienced with administering medication, orally and via injection. I am also comfortable and experienced with handling pets that need special attention for behavioral or health reasons. I have two senior kitties of my own, but I love all animals, and enjoy getting to bond with and care for other people's pets. In addition to dogs and cats, I am also experienced with other pets, including reptiles and amphibians, smalls mammals, birds, and farm animals. I will be working full-time starting mid-October. I am still able to care for pets that are adjusted to schedules of parents who work full-time. I am happy to wake up early to accomodate morning routines before i have to leave for work. Saturday's are half-days, and I won't be working Sunday's, so my weekend availability is more flexible! I am living in a rental property, and unfortunately cannot care for pets in my own home. I am happy to provide whatever level of safety and restriction you would like me to follow for your pets- remaining in fenced in yards, or on leash at all times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog 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 2,804 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Helotes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Helotes 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!
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.
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.
To find sitters in Helotes with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Helotes. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
