“Leaving my pups at home while going to work, was tough… however knowing that they are well taken care of by Sophia gives me peace of mind. Both love her so much… however my ‘lil Troy adores her… all the Picts he looks at her in a such loving way… And those eyes are only possible when they feel loved & taken care of! Thank you Sophia for caring for my precious treasures, it means the world to me!!!”
“Danni went over and beyond my expectations and really put my mind at ease knowing my pup was in great hands while I was away for a weekend. My pup immediately warmed up to her and she did extra drop ins when she was in the area. Sends lots of pictures and videos. Highly recommend!!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets get the care and attention they need while their owners are away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime, while also keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: I have been house and pet sitting for over a decade, and have been responsible for caring for dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and rabbits. There have been a few occasions in which the animals I was caring for required extra care such as medications, very specific diets, etc. so you have nothing to worry about if that is the case for you. I will care for any amount of animals, and any species and size animals.. I love them all! I am hard working and passionate about all animals, so I can promise that I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own. I work full time at a horse show training barn, so I would need to be gone 8 hours a day, but I am never home later than 5:00pm. I also have Thursdays and Sundays off, so even if I am working, I will have plenty of time to fully care for your animals. I believe personal attention is just as important as basic necessities. In my care, your animals needs such as being fed and let outside will be taken care of, but I also prioritize plenty of play time, walks, pets and affection.
“Our dogs, Iris and Valentina, had a blast with Cathleen. She provided frequent updates, and took time to really understand our dogs. She was able to accommodate their routine, and bring assurance that they were in great care while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little, as I have never lived without them. I love all animals and always treat them as my own. I love being outside and going on walks and would love to have a dog to take with me on some adventures as I explore San Antonio. I’m very punctual and good about remembering feeding times or understanding what the dogs needs are. I have owned big and small dogs and love them all so much. I have raised puppies but also cared for my blind and deaf dog during his last few years of life so I am experienced in all stages. I do not have a job at the moment because I just moved here so I would have plenty of time! I miss being around my dogs and am hoping to be able to interact with yours! I live in an apartment on the third floor so I don’t have a yard right outside, but my complex offers a beautiful dog park. There is also a dog washing station if I need to clean them up. There are plenty of walking trails close by that I can take them on and plenty of grass areas.

I'm an experienced animal care professional with over 5 years of hands on experience working in the veterinary field. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I'm committed to providing every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Beginning July 7, 2026, I'll be leaving my position at my veterinary clinic to return to school full time in a primarily online program. This means I'll be home much more often, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive care, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship for your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a reliable sitter, daily visits, or extra attention while you're away, you can feel confident knowing they're in the hands of someone with professional veterinary experience and a genuine love for animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary technician, I have the professional experience to recognize health concerns, safely administer medications, and handle special needs with care and confidence. When pets board with me, they’ll stay in a safe and cozy home environment with plenty of love and attention. I share my home with two calm, friendly cat a neutered male and an easygoing spayed female who are used to other animals and help create a peaceful atmosphere. Whether I’m boarding, walking, or doing drop in visits, you can trust that your pet will be cared for like family in a safe, loving, and reliable environment.
“This is the first time I have ever had to have watch my dog in the nine years I've had her. Needless to say I was terrified. My dog is my family and leaving her someone i didn't know was not something I wanted to do but needed to due to changes at my job. Alexandria made me feel so much more comfortable with even just the meet and greet first. She truly takes of girl as if she is her own and has put my mind at ease knowing that she is in good hands when I am not there. I highly recommend her!! She is has also been very patient and understanding to my schedule, constantly changing due to my job.”
About: I am a student at UTSA. I have one cat (Mara) living with me currently. But I have always grown up with many pets of different ages and sizes. 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. I have experience with giving pets medications, even bigger dogs, so long as they aren't aggressive. I also have experience with handling senior pets. 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. I have school monday-thursday but only a few classes a day so I have time before, between, and after classes. Otherwise my availability is fully open! I am skilled in cleaning up after pets who have accidents. I also love taking walks and play time. Lots of cuddles will be provided too.
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.
“Britney did really well with both of my dogs. She was very patient with my chihuahua who was a little timid at first. She always gave updates whenever she stopped by for a visit. Would recommend her and use her again”
“Addison was great with my baby. She sent photo updates and showed up early to get a head start. I met with her prior to the visit so she could meet my baby and explain things to her. This was the first time using Addison and I would definitely use her again.”
“Hannah was absolutley phenominal helping me watch my pets while I was away! Communication was great and she went above and beyond to ensure my other pets were okay when my other sitter didnt show. She also cleaned my puppy after an accident- thank you Hannah!!! You are the BEST!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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!”
“Absolute best sitter! She was not only very kind and versatile, but extremely communicative and reliable. Finding Bryanna was a blessing and we will be using her in the future, without a doubt!”

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!

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 .
