“I love having Claudia take care of my girls. She’s always quick to respond, and she time stamps her visits with the Rover report card with pictures. I can relax when I’m gone because I know all is well. Recently, she gave special care to my dog, both in taking care of her needs during the visits but also she paid attention and adjusted some timing for our now more complicated schedule.”
About: I’m a proud pet parent and lifelong animal lover. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them the way you do. Whether you’re heading out of town, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I’m happy to provide loving, reliable care. I have experience caring for companions of all ages, from energetic puppies who love to play to senior dogs who appreciate a slower pace and extra comfort. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Please be sure to carefully review my profile, as there will always be other pets in the home as well as my children (who also love and adore animals). *If your companion is boarding for an extended (3x more days) please bring along a crate for their stay. The only time a kennel is needed is for boarding - so I can ensure their security while I step out to take my children to/from school. If you are considering boarding and are in need of a crate, or arrive for boarding without a crate, one may be provided during their stay for a small fee upon arrival. Rest assured your pet will be treated like family in my care. I let my clients decide the level of communication and am more than happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in good hands. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, playtime, cuddles, or doggie day care, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. Caring for pets has always been a major part of my daily life. Pet sitting naturally fits into my routine because I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, my focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while maintaining the routines they’re familiar with. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, potty breaks, and any special care requirements. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and preferences so they feel secure and well cared for while their family is away. I also prioritize communication by providing regular updates, photos, and prompt responses so owners always know how their pet is doing. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, confident, and supported throughout the entire experience.
About: I truly adore cats and dogs, and I love getting to know what makes each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m patient, gentle, and always tuned in to what your pet needs—whether it’s extra playtime, a calm presence, or just someone who treats them with the same love they’re used to at home. Your pets become a little part of my heart while they’re with me, and I’m committed to making them feel cared for every moment. Even with a full-time Monday–Friday job, caring for animals is something I naturally make room for—it’s one of the best parts of my day. I’m available in the mornings and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or snuggle visits, and I’m always happy to stop by on my lunch break if a pet needs a little extra attention. Weekends and holidays are even more flexible for me, so I can give your pets plenty of time, love, and consistency. No matter how busy life gets, I make sure the animals I care for feel supported, safe, and looked after. No matter where I’m caring for your pet—my home or yours—I always try to make things feel calm, comforting, and familiar for them. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means specific feeding times, their favorite walking route, or a special way they like to play or wind down. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and just the way you prefer. I give your pet plenty of attention, love, and reassurance so they feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Jackie is a great sitter! One of our shy fur babies took a shine to her and allowed pets. Everything at the house was clean and well cared for. Jackie responds to messages quickly, and I felt I could rely on her. Thank you!”
“Shelby is amazing. I’m no longer stressed about leaving our pups on extended vacation. We will continue to book Shelby for our travels and drop ins. Thank you !!”
“Marla was absolutely amazing and wonderful! She took such great care of my cat - she played with him and gave him all the attention and cuddles he needed while I was away. I looked forward to all the pictures she would send during each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Marla and will definitely be booking her again! ❤️🐾”
“Nicole was very sweet and attentive to my kitties and all of my needs. She even came over before we went out of town to go over instructions and was concerned with making sure she had everything correct. She sent me pictures of my kitties while I was gone and even brought my packages in for me! I was very impressed with her cleanliness and even suggested I buy more litter before I left as she made sure their box was tidy. :) She was very friendly and easy to work with; I would definitely use her again!”
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”
“we are super grateful she was able to deal with our dogs who i know can be a handful. we hope to use your services again if you’ll have us. 🩷thanks for doing an amazing job!!”
“Rylee was a an amazing help for our 10 day trip. She is an absolute professional who has a lot of experience dealing with our babies. She loved and cared for them like they were her own. Lots of cute and fun picture updates. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our 2 cats and dog were in good hands. Rylee goes above and beyond when shes at our place, not just taking care of our babies but also looking out for our house as well. I strongly recommend booking Rylee for any pet care needs.”

“He did an amazing job pet sitting my cat! I got daily updates and pictures so I could see he was being loved and cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Helotes on Rover is $18.19 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,873 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:
- 88% 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.
