“We are so grateful for Sierra. She did a stellar job taking care of the animals while we were gone. It was our first in-home experience and she was wonderful. Very trustworthy and left our place probably cleaner than we left it. Thank you, Sierra!”
“Noel was wonderful! She took care of my girl like she was her own. She left my house spotless and was super communicative and checked in every day. Would recommend her to anyone.”
“Rebecca has watched our home and pup a few times and she’s been phenomenal! She goes above and beyond to accommodate for our doggo and make sure all is set while we are gone. 10/10 recommends her to anyone that asks!”
“Adirah did an incredible job with my pup, Cooper. She was kind enough to do a meet and greet to get him comfortable and kept me updated on things all weekend. She also took very good care of the apartment. I’m so grateful she was able to look after my little guy and I will most certainly be booking with her again.”
“Nichole was amazing! She kept my four animals for a few days, and when I came back home, the house was clean and the pets were happy. She was communicative everyday and took great care of my pets! Would highly recommend!”
“I can’t thank Jacob enough for taking care of my dogs and newborn puppies while I was on vacation. He followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house clean, and made sure the pups were fed and rotated with the mom just like we planned. He was reliable, respectful, and even updated me with photos and messages so I had peace of mind the whole time. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter. Appreciate you, Jacob!”
About: I am an experienced animal caregiver with over 2 decades of experience with dogs large and small, puppies and seniors, cats and kittens as well as experience with animals as small as pocket pets like ferrets, as well as animals as large as draft horses! I am very communicative with my clients as my animals are my babies and I want to ensure they are safe and happy while I am away and I ensure my clients are updated with how their furry companion(s) are handling their absence. Due to having 4 dogs and a medium sized cat, I no longer offer boarding at my home however my schedule for house sitting and drop in visits / walks is usually pretty open. Send me a message and we can chat to see if we are a right fit! My years of experience has left me with nothing but positive feedback. I care for others pets as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation with a clean driving record and am always willing to take your pet out for a walk at a trail such as mission reach trails which I live just a few short blocks away from or to a dog park if the client sees fit.
“Ashley was fantastic! Her background as a former vet tech really shows—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about puppies and made us feel completely at ease. We also reached out last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We’re really grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again!”
“I was visiting San Antonio from out of town while my sister was in the hospital and found myself needing someone on very short notice to sit with my baby, Bear. Lexus responded quickly and immediately put my mind at ease. She took such wonderful care of him, kept me updated throughout the entire visit, sent photos, and communicated consistently the whole time. Being away from your pet during an already stressful situation can be difficult, but I truly felt secure leaving Bear in her care. Lexus was kind, dependable, attentive, and professional. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and would definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: I have a genuine connection to animals and care deeply for them. In my own home I care for a senior dog and two bunnies. I always give my animals my first and my best. My schedule is flexible as I prepare for graduate school. My goal is to make some connections with families that need additional pet care that I can work my schedule around to accommodate theirs. In my client's home I will be sure to understand and fulfill all of the specific expectations they have for their pets. I will provide love, comfort and a safe environment for any and all pets. While you are away, at work or just need a little extra support I will make sure your sweet pet feels all the love they are missing.
“Jayden did a great job housesitting my dog! She followed all my instructions and was very responsive. She made sure to send me lots of great pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands.”
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”
“This was the first time I have ever had someone I don’t know staying in our home watching our animals. Jared was amazing. He came for a meet and greet and the dogs immediately loved him. Our older female border collie usually doesnt love on new people so her reaction was very telling. We trusted Jared with our place for 10 days while we were on the other side of the country. He did an amazing job with texts multiple times a day every day as well as pictures of the dogs loving life. We have a doorbell camera and can confirm Jared took the dogs out every 4 hours as we requested and did long walks with the dogs so they could play. Not just pee breaks. I will definitely be using Jared again and if anyone has any reservations about him please take my vote of confidence. He did a fantastic job.”
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have owned them throughout my life. As a student attending school to major in Veterinary Medicine, I want to get the best experience I can day by day. I currently own a doxie right now and she truly deserves the best. I am currently a sophomore student athlete going into my second semester. I want to be able to stay busy and get some experience with a variety of pets by understanding day by day. Also please understand that I will do my best to keep my availability updated, and as a student athlete please have patience with me. Thank you! I believe that caring for an animal is like caring for a child. The attention and care is a priority, as I do have a doxie myself. She is my whole world and she truly deserves the best along with all other pets!

“Best decision I ever made! My dogs were taken care of and loved on and taken for walks! Made my momma heart rest a bit easier while away! Pictures were sent every time they did anything! I came home and they were so happy! Way different than any time I’ve boarded them…10/10 recommend these guys, worth every penny!”

They will be well taken care of and have everything they will need, food, water, outside, pet scratches, and belly rubs. We will be taking walks in a lovely neighborhood and spend some time at the park. You may not want them to stay to long or they may not want to go home. I look forward to taking in your family members while you are out of town or taking care of business. Either way you can rest easy knowing your beloved animals are here with me and in a safe place, I will be more than happy to do so! Thank you for your time and hope I’m a good match for you and your fur babies. I currently have free time at my home so I would love to spend some time with a friendly pet. I am currently a stay at home mom. I like to give attention when attention is needed to pets. If they want to play I will play with them or if they need to go out to potty, I will take them out. Anything your pet needs I will be there.
Highland Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Leaving your fur kids for almost a month isn't easy. Leaving your fur kids with a brand new sitter is scary. Leaving your older fur kids that you bottle raised with medical issues for weeks is downright anxiety ridden. Therefore, I honestly, 1000% recommend Sierra for pet and home sitting! Through the years we've had pet sitters both privately and through Rover. Sierra absolutely surpassed all including family! We have 5 cats in total. 4 geriatric cats, 3 of whom have ongoing medical issues that require close monitoring/medications and 1 young ex feral whose afraid of strangers. Sierra was able to medicate even the most difficult cat and became close friends with the stranger danger girl. Within the first 48 hrs of leaving there was a medical situation and Sierra got her the support she needed immediately. She quickly figured out how to help manage the IBD cat which isn't easy as it changes almost daily. Sierra managed to get the difficult, bonded to 1 person geriatric cat to eat and take her insulin on schedule. On top of these difficulties there was also a issue with our AC that took a couple of days to get fixed. Communication was excellent and Sierra kept us updated on how everyone was doing as well as pictures showing how good they looked. While they obviously missed us, we returned home to cared for content cats. Who looked better than they ever have after a sitter. It was clear that Sierra did more than just feed, water, and medicate. She took time with them, gave them attention and clearly learned their individual personalities. We are already looking into booking Sierra for our next trip and hopefully will be able to for years to come.
Rebecca was absolutely amazing. She came over to meet with us before we left and meet our dogs. We can even explain how nervous we were about leaving our animals with a stranger. After meeting Rebecca it set our minds at ease. She did an amazing job with our older dog and our very rambunctious puppy. We have definitely recommended her to others and will be rebooking with her in the future when we need someone to care for our pups.
We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! Our black lab absolutely loved him. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and happy. We got regular updates, photos, and could see how relaxed and well cared for our dog was the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly great with dogs!
Nellii stayed with our dogs for a long weekend and they loved her! Her communication was excellent, she sent lots of pictures, and she made the fellas feel safe and cared for. We highly recommend Nellii and will definitely reach out to her for our next trip. Thank you, Nellii!
