“Sabrina did a great job taking care of Prince. Everything went smoothly, and my dog was well looked after and comfortable. Communication was clear, and I appreciated knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely be happy to use her again and would recommend Sabrina to others!”
“Thank you, Jennifer, for taking great care of our Bailey. She's always such a nervous one, but it's comforting to know she can relax and play with you, just as if she were at home. Having a home-away-from-home for her is such a blessing and relief, especially when we have to leave her for extended periods of time.”
“My fur babies had a great time with Carly. She took great care of them and sent me updates throughout the day. She also made sure to slowly introduce my dogs to her dog so that there would be no issues. I would definitely recommend her as a dog sitter!”
“Above and beyond! Christopher took a very last minute booking for two of our pups. Grandpa Larry has some mobility issues and Christopher lives on the 4th floor of an apartment. I was worried it would be too much for him, but he’s an earth angel. Handled every obstacle with a positive spirit and my kiddos left feeling happy, loved, and clean. Would recommend for any circumstance!”
“First time taking Ryder for daycare here. I can tell he had fun from the updates we received, and hes tired now. Haha. We will definitely use them again.”
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.
“Hector was phenomenal in caring for our very large baby, who gets anxious when first departing from us. She was wonderfully cared for and it was incredibly easy to get in and out for drop off and pick up.”
“Megan and her husband are fantastic! We left our one-year-old puppy in their care, and he had the best time. They treated him as if he were their own. Their flexibility with drop-off and pick-up schedules was incredibly accommodating. What we appreciated most was their decision to board only one or two dogs at a time, rather than a whole kennel.”
“Jorge was very informative and kept me updated throughout the day with my dog Ash, which really made me feel comfortable! You can tell he genuinely cares about animals. I would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for someone to watch your dog.”
“1st time user here. Steph responded quickly to my last minute request for daycare for the afternoon. I’m so thankful b/c I was able to spend time with my daughter at Lackland AFB, where I couldn’t take Noob. It was a great stay for him though, and he looked like he had fun playing in the water trough. He was zonked out the rest of the night, so it must’ve been a great time. Can’t wait to use this app/service again! I think him and I are both looking forward to it b/c it was such a positive experience. Thanks Steph!!”
“Honey had an amazing time. She was well taken care of and happy. I recieved multiple updates throughout the entire day letting me know she was doing well. She had all the attention and breaks she needed. All of the family and dogs were very welcoming which made Honey's first stay away from home even more successful. In just one visit this has become Honey's second home. Breanna and her family make sure all dogs needs are met and go above and beyond to ensure the dogs are happy and owners are at ease with updates. Honey will be back and I would recommend Breanna and her family to anyone looking for daycare or even a long stay.”
About: I have had pets since I was very little and have always dealt with pit bulls specifically. I will say I have learned a lot from them as well as my friend's dogs taking care of them gave me the confidence and patience that I have now. I'm currently a full-time student and recently separated from the Air force. I go to school and the gym in the mornings and have freedom early hours of the day and in the afternoons/evenings. On Saturdays and Sundays, I tend to be busy with church and my bf is off for quality time. However, if needed I can adjust my schedule for certain clients! I believe my dog Milo is my child. I wouldn't let anyone take care of him unless I fully knew a person. So I understand that this can be challenging for other pet owners. I fully take care of any pets such as my own, call me Aunt Ana.
“Fernando was very flexible with times and took care my baby last minute. Sent pics even when she was only there for doggo daycare. Thank you so much for having Yuki! Highly recommended ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Lola had a wonderful day with Karen. She treated Lola just like family, giving her so much love, affection, and attention. Karen was able to send updates and pictures of Lola throughout the day. I know Karen will be my first go-to person to care for my little angel. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly! She’s wonderful!”
“This was our first time using Rover and our experience was absolutely amazing. Lorena took such great care of my fur baby while I was in San Antonio for a doctor's appointment. Lorena took her for walks, fed her, and documented all the care my fur baby received while she was in her care. I also received several photos of my dog during her stay with Lorena. She also went above and beyond by giving me a note card and doggy toy for my fur baby as a parting gift It is so nice to be able to travel with my dog and have exceptional care available when she can't be with me. We will definitely be booking with Lorena again when we are back in San Antonio in the fall.”
“After trying about a dozen different sitters in the last year, I can definitely say I've found our match. I was out of town for 3 days and Lauren kept me at ease with detailed updates and daily summaries. She took excellent care of her and we will definitely be using her for any care needs in the future.”
“Christopher was an amazing choice for me and my family when we needed a dog sitter as we visited Six Flags. Great communication and updates during his care for our fur baby.”
“Rose was very accommodating and kind. She had no problem watching our pup, Skunk, last minute and saved the day! Skunk was so well cared for and communication was superb, we got updates and pictures all day! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be using Rose again.”

Jennifer has so much experience and knowledge with dogs. My 60 lb mutt (Pitty/Australian Cattle Dog, Great Pyrenees, etc.) is a recent rescue. He has seperation anxiety and needs to learn that people can be kind and fun. Jennifer helped him get used to her and her home in the mornig, and by the afternoon he was giving her kisses - high praise indeed!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Helotes commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,025 sitters in Helotes, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
