“Samantha has been nothing but great with my pup while I was away for a trip. Samantha made sure to provide great updates on my fur baby as well as follow directions! Samantha had even went above and beyond to clean up after my fur baby had a little accident. Will most definitely book with Ms. Samantha in the future!”

“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!”
“My pups and I, the entire family, thinks Michelle is amazing! She was very thorough in her notes, which really puts an anxious dog mom, like me, at ease. I left alot of instructions and she followed everything to a T! We really hope to be lucky enough to get Michelle again in the future!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and for the past 4 years I've been in jobs that include dog care such as a kennel attendant, dog bather, and dog groomer I work from home, as does my fiance so someone will be home at all times to take care of your fur baby. We have plenty of time in our schedules for walks, playtime, anything they need If it is my home they will have access to the entire place, they will get constant attention and love, potty breaks at least every 2 hours, but sooner if needed.
“Caryn is wonderful! She asked pertinent questions during the meet-and-greet, and took notes which made me feel like she cares and takes her job seriously. I've used her twice now (once for multiple overnight stays and once for a drop-in). During both visits, she sent photos of Frankie, kept me informed, and left my house clean! I would highly recommend having Caryn watch your furbabies.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful, and her communication throughout the stay gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and treated them as if they were her own. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!”
“We had a great experience with Diego! He kept us updated on Dalek throughout the visit, and we felt confident knowing Dalek was in good hands and well cared for. We truly appreciate his attentiveness and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Jennifer came for the meet and greet with my kitty and instantly made me feel at ease with having her care for my girl. Great communication with her and nice pictures from her drop in visits. She gave some special treats to my kitty on her visits. Also gave my girl special food and treats I left for her. Jennifer also did a few extra tasks to help me while I was gone. I will definitely ask Jennifer to drop in for me in the future.”
About: I've taken care of pets since my early twenties and have even helped potty train both my dogs as well as family members'. Most recently I have cared for 2 senior dogs and a Great Dane with several disabilities. I work from home and have ample time to provide care and attention to my pups. If needed I can step away from work for walks, play, potty breaks, etc. I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups two keep your babies company. I can also crate your pup if needed. Our own pets are pretty spoiled and they have their own beds but tend to lay in blankets on our couch!
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family member! I love spending time with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or just relaxing on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime. I treat every dog like they’re my own and will always provide lots of love, patience, and attention. You can also expect regular pictures and updates so you know your pup is happy, safe, and in good hands! I’m fully available for any boarding, walking or drop in visits. I’m pretty flexible as I work from home, to provide care for all your fur babies needs. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly pups that will keep your pet entertained! I can can easily have access to crates and also allow them to be indoors with lots of cuddles and fun!

About: I have 10 years of experience with military working dogs. Friends and neighbors have typically entrusted me to care for their furry family members over the years. I will treat your pets like they are part of my family. I do work a full time job in the Air Force, but I can ensure daily walks, play, and plenty of attention during the work week. On weekends, I am very flexible to whatever hours and activities you may need also. I have a large fenced in yard and a park within half a mile for great walks during the day or evening. I do not own any other pets, and I offer a quiet safe environment for your pets.

Absolutely grateful for Samantha taking care of our cat Minnie. She was very responsive with communication and dependable. Samantha shared detailed reports with photos of her drop in visits with our cat. I really appreciate that she is patient because our cat is a feral rescue. Minnie trusted Samantha right away and interacted with her. I would recommend Samantha for your pet care needs any day and she is someone I trust in our home when we are away. Thank you, Samantha!
Addison was amazing with my dogs! Words cant express enough how greatful I am to have found her, she was patient, kind, affectionate and my dogs loved her. She is truly am asset to this company and deserves nothing less than 100 stars and a raise! I highly recommend her and hope to have her watch the fur babies again when we are out of town. Thanks a million times over Addison for just being you, Amazing!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Helotes is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,871 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Helotes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
