“Our pups thought Justine was very kind and they took to her immediately. After our first meeting, and the reaction from our pets, we felt confident leaving them in her care. We were pleased upon returning from a weekend away to find them chilled-out and happy. The house was no worse for the wear and my plants were perky, as well, and obviously watered during the unbelievably HOT weather. Justine checked in with us and quickly responded to our messages. We will definitely call on Justine again. Thank you SO much!!”

I feed both my cats and dog in the morning and afternoon. I take Barbie out every morning and afternoon, sometimes at night around the park. All of my animals are very playful. I am a Dogpark local, who takes care of many of my friends pets and homes. This includes taking them to the Dog Park, walking, and sitting for them.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds—cats, dogs, bunnies, and birds.

“Jared will genuinely care with love for your pets, whether they are dogs, cats, gerbils or horses. He has a special gift with all animals and for as long as he's available he is my top choice to care for mine, always.”
“Nichole is the best! Second time we’ve used her for dog sitting at our home. She leaves the house so untouched sometimes I’m not even sure she cooked anything for over a week lol but I’m sure she ate at some point. Our dogs love her!”
“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.”
“Danielle was responsive, took time to meet my dog before the booking, and communicated well throughout the process. She took good care of dog and was even flexible with my return. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

Expect great communication and photos if she's taking care of your pups! I highly recommend Morgan and will be rebooking in the future! Thanks Morgan!”

Historic Gardens pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.
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.
Couldn’t have asked for somebody better to watch our fur babies! She was so incredibly nice. From the moment I met her I felt super comfortable with her watching our pets for the weekend. She constantly kept us updated, sent us photos of the pets, and it was great to see how happy our pets were! We would absolutely recommend her to anybody and use her services again.
This is the second time Jessica saved my sanity :) When life throws you a curve ball and you suddenly need care for your fur baby, you can count on her! She is reliable, gives lots of lovin’, keeps in contact and sends great photos. I miss my pup while I’m gone but I know she’s in excellent hands.
Roxann did a great job caring for our dog Libby. She was professional, dependable, and very easy to work with throughout the entire process. Libby was comfortable with her from the start, and it was clear she was in good hands. We truly appreciated Roxann’s care and would highly recommend her.
Doraelia is an absolute lifesaver! We were in a pinch over the holidays and needed someone to watch our cat, Yuki, and our dog, Echo. Doraelia stepped in and did an amazing job. Not only did they stay on top of a strict medication schedule for both pets, but they also made sure Echo got her daily walks and both animals received plenty of playtime and attention. It was so clear that Yuki and Echo were happy and well-cared for as Doraelia sent photos regularly. We can't thank Doraelia enough and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy pet sitter!
Caileigh took exceptional care of Malla while we were away for several days. She followed Malla’s feeding and medication schedule exactly as instructed and sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. From every update, it was clear that Malla was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We also returned to a spotless home, which we truly appreciated. Caileigh was reliable, communicative, and clearly very attentive and caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Malla and would absolutely recommend Caileigh to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful caregiver.
