“Samuel was proactive in learning all there is to know in taking care of Miko. He did an excellent job taking care of her evidenced by how she happy she looks in her picture updates. I’m grateful for his help and expertise. :)”
“Ella was a fantastic pet sitter. She followed all the instructions and went above and beyond making sure that my cat was taken care of while we were away. I highly highly recommend her!! 😊”
“Maryela had a few drop-ins over the weekend to feed and care for our three dogs. Each of the dogs have very different personalities and they all loved her instantly when she came to meet them. Her communication was great and we appreciated receiving photos of each visit. This really allowed my family to enjoy out trip knowing the dogs were in good hands. I'll definitely be using Mary again and recommend her to others.”
“She was amazing. She definitely gave us comfort while away that Dexter was taken care of. She always provided updates and pictures. She even played with him which is a huge thing because Dexter doesn’t like new people. Thank you very much.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and feel connected to every pet I meet! Beyond being a lifelong pet owner, I spent two years volunteering at my hometown’s animal shelter, where I cared for hundreds of cats and dogs with diverse personalities. I have the background and heart to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved! I am working on my Masters degree and working a part time job. Currently, I am only working two days a week, so I have plenty of time to give your pets love and care! I will ensure your pets feel safe and loved. I know every animal is different so I will take the time to learn how to provide the best care for them.
About: I have taken care of multiple pets throughout my life. I am familiar with caring for puppies, middle aged cats/dogs, and senior cats/dogs. Animals hold a very special place in my heart & they deserve nothing but love. I can fit your pets care and needs into my schedule without a problem. Let me know the timeframe you need your fur baby taken care of, & they will be first on my list of priorities! I have a fenced yard that is very spacious for your fur baby to roam and play.

Fresh food, water, and of course head pats will be available at all times. 🐾 If the weather is too much, we will hangout inside and do whatever your pet is in the mood for, whether it be playing, eating, or resting. They will be cared for and loved.

“Savanah and Devin were absolutely wonderful. They took such incredible care of Max, and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. From their attention to detail to the genuine love and affection they showed him, they truly treated Max as if he were their own. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, from tiny hamsters to big dogs. I really love being around them and feel like I connect with them easily. Whenever friends or family are out of town, I’m usually the one they trust to take care of their pets because they know they’ll be loved and in good hands. I’m currently a college student, so I’m in class from about 9 AM to around noon, but I’m free and available to care for your pet anytime after that 😊 I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home 💕 In my home, I keep things clean, calm, and pet-friendly with lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles.

I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they’re always safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was young! I have experience with every dog from a small energetic corgi to a lazy poodle mix and a German shepherd who was always ready to play. With my corgi I love teaching her new tricks and taking her on long nature walks. On the days I’m tired me and my lazy poodle mix spend all day on the couch. I’m a student home for the summer and have full availability to take care of any pet at any time! I would love to get a relationship with your pet and care for them. I take my pets on walks through my neighborhood and at parks! I would love to take pets to get some energy out or do quick drop ins to feed and care for pets while you’re away!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Helotes stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
