About: I have taken care of animals since i was 8 including dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and more. My love for animals has only driven my passion to care and provide for them. I have worked at the san antonio zoo, shelters, and humane societies. I’m currently a full time student, with majority of my classes online so I can spend as much time with your fur babies as possible. This also allows for me to stay overnight or check-in when needed. I live in a big community with many parks, natural trails, and even special dog parks. I can easily crate, direct, and even transport dogs if needed. I can handle big dogs as my family has great danes and rottweilers.
“Elizabeth was amazing with my anxious dog 🥹 My dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but loved her immediately. She was so sweet, caring, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. Great communication and updates! She also brought my dog a toy when she came to meet her! I would definitely book with her again!”
“Dominique did a great job taking care of my babies. My older dog had been unexpectedly sick right before my trip and he was able to give her the extra care she needed. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8 including my own, families and friends as well. My passion is to take care of animals. I am currently online school and home most days out of the week, I would like to be able to take dogs on walks, have play time and just have a company with me as I work I have a good sized house which I let my pets run free, a fenced in backyard for plenty of potty time, and a nice neighborhood for many walks. I have space for a cage if needed but I do like them to roam around. I’ll be at home to feed them throughout the day, take them outside and cater to their needs.
About: Caring for pets has been a rewarding experience in my life. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and livestock as well. Animals bring me a joy that people cannot. I’ve learned that a happy pet is a well cared for pet. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I love walks and playful interactions with dogs, and I make sure every dog feels comfortable around me. I am currently registered as a full time college student, but I do have about half the week available to care for your lovely animals. I do have two of my own furry dogs at home, which I take care of on the daily basis. I am able to provide proper care with exercise as well as handling excited dogs.
“Paige was wonderful with Maisie, she’s a rescue dog and very nervous. Paige was very patient. We will be booking Paige again so that Maisie can get to know her better in order for her to house sit when we need to be away over night.”

If you are looking for someone who will care for and love on your babies as much as you do, look no further. Since my sweet boys have gotten older, it was becoming impossible to travel without worrying about them. Amanda has been that difference. Communication is always there, and she takes the best pictures ever!💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Helotes on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,870 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Helotes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Helotes. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
