About: I've been taking care of different animals since I was a kid. From farm livestock to exotic animals with more specific needs, I'm confident I can keep your pet very happy and comfortable. I'm currently a college student full time, however I have many large gaps in my schedule. I'm fully free on weekends and just ask for my specific free times during the week, as they can vary. I'm a on campus living student so I can't have any pets over, but I'm available to do pet walks, quick visits, and overnight watches.

About: I’ve cared for many different breeds of dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I genuinely love animals and always make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priority. I’m comfortable caring for larger dogs and can confidently handle them on walks, as well as pets that may need a little extra patience and attention. I’ve been a sitter on Rover for over a year now and have had a great experience meeting people in the community and getting to know their pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I’m dependable, easy to communicate with, and always want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands! My schedule is pretty flexible! I attend classes at Texas State University for a few hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I also work part-time as a restaurant server throughout the week. Even with work and school, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m usually available in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, check-ins, and spending quality time with the pets I’m watching. I do my best to work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they’re getting plenty of attention and care while their owners are away! I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their routines and keeping a clean and tidy environment. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attention, exercise, and respect so your pets feel loved and at ease.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets for 8 years. I have helped administer medicine to animals with diabetes. I also have a dog of my own. I am a college student at Texas State and currently have no other job. I am happy to work around my class schedule to provide the upmost care to your pets. I send multiple pictures to the owner of their pets and any activities their pet may engage in. I keep client’s home tidy and look in all rooms with open doors to check for any accidents. I always go outside with pets. On walks I stay on the opposite side of the walkway from other animals or people.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my family often took in strays and nursed them back to health, so I learned from an early age how to give pets the love and attention they deserve. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals—from guinea pigs and turtles to cats and dogs. I’m currently a proud French Bulldog mom to my 5-year-old girl, so I understand what it means to treat pets like family. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just extra cuddles, I always make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I’ve had my French Bulldog since she was just a few weeks old, and for the past 5 years I’ve been the one to care for her, train her, and make sure she stays healthy and happy. Frenchies can have a lot of health needs, so I’ve gained experience giving medicine, staying up late when she needed extra care, and always putting her first no matter what’s going on with school or work. She’s truly my little sidekick, and caring for her has made pet care a natural part of my daily routine. At home, I currently care for my French Bulldog and two Great Danes, so daily pet care is second nature to me. That means letting them out regularly, feeding them on schedule, giving them plenty of playtime, and of course, showing them love and attention. I believe pets need more than just food and walks—they need interaction, comfort, and someone to check in on their well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I bring the same routine: making sure they’re safe, fed, exercised, and given the love and attention they deserve.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life (currently a mom of a dog and a cat) and love taking care of animals with all my heart! I’m currently home from college and thought that this would be a good way to make money on the side while I job hunt! I’m very experienced with senior pets (currently own a 17 year old cat). I’ve put a lot of time learning how to gain trust of animals and how to understand their body language and emotions, so stressed pets aren’t common with me! Every day is a good day to play with animals for me ! Currently looking for a part time job, but nothing that will take up too much of my time to visit your animals and take care of your pets. My weekends are entirely open as well! I’m very communicative on the status of your pet and how they’re doing, and I always give lots of pets if they like them! Your house will appear just as you left it, and your pet will be happy, walked, fed, and not lonely at all!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For the past three to four years, I have consistently house-sat and pet-sat for family friends with multiple dogs and cats at once, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, overnight care, medications when needed, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I also have a Doberman of my own, so I’m very experienced with high-energy dogs and understand how to stay patient and calm with reactive behaviors. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very flexible this summer since I’m home from college, which allows me to dedicate a lot of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to work around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication needs, drop-in visits, and overnight stays if needed. Because caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, fitting pet care into my routine comes very naturally to me. I always make sure pets are cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment, whether in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. Because I have experience with energetic and reactive dogs, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and supervision. I also make sure clients’ homes stay clean, secure, and respected during house-sitting visits.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet care provider with over 9 years of hands-on experience in the veterinary field, along with many additional years of trusted pet sitting. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. My background in veterinary medicine means I’m comfortable recognizing signs of illness, administering medications (if needed), and providing attentive, knowledgeable care for pets of all ages and health needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or needs a little extra patience and support, I tailor my care to fit their unique personality. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals, and I understand how important it is to maintain their routine and make them feel safe while you’re away. You can count on me for reliable communication, plenty of updates, and lots of love and attention for your pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away! I’m available for boarding on weekends at your home and during the week for evening walks and early mornings and evenings for stop ins for play time and potty breaks. I am available to go to your home to make sure your pet is kept comfortably in their own environment and provide care and ease that your pet is still able to have play time and excellent care while you are away short term or long periods of time.

About: I've been around dogs since I was little and have two of my own, so daily walks are a big part of my routine. I've also walked and cared for my grandma's dogs, so I'm comfortable handling more than one dog at a time. I'm patient, reliable, and happy to send photo updates so you know your dog got a great walk. I'm a college student at Texas State, so I'm available for dog walks on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays after 2pm. I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but my other days are flexible, so I can work around your dog's routine. I'll walk your dog in your neighborhood, so they stay on familiar routes. I'll use your dog's own leash and gear, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and keep a close eye on them the whole time. As a dog owner myself, I'm calm and attentive, and I'll send photo updates so you know your pup is safe and happy.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Martindale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Martindale is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $21 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 October 2026, there are 4,989 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Martindale. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Martindale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Martindale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Martindale. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
