About: Hi! I’m Jordan and I have a special love for all dogs! My goldendoodle, Buster, and I are new to San Antonio and loving it so far! My goal as your new favorite dog sitter is to make your time away from home easy knowing your beloved pet is in good hands! I know there’s nothing worse than sipping a mai tai and wondering if your dog has been let out of his kennel today 😉 Buster and I love to go play at the park and enjoy long snuggles on a Sunday afternoon. We would love to host your dog for the night or weekend! Please let me know what I can do to make your dogs stay more comfortable and your trip more comfortable!
“Jessica was amazing!!! My puppy is 4 months old and gets shy around new people. She warmed up to Jessica quickly and had my puppy playing fetch 🩷 Jessica’s communication was great and I appreciated any updates. Jessica even warned me about some pecans she saw in my backyard and how dangerous they can be.”

About: I have fostered and trained a puppy for an entire summer and am the designated dog sitter for my neighbors back at my home town! I am free in the afternoons Monday-Friday and all day during the weekends! I walk 5 miles everyday and would love to bring some dogs along with me! I used to have a dog at home that I would walk 3 times a day and feed him twice a day. I used to dog sit for a Doberman and loved it. I am comfortable with all types of dogs!
“Brittney was awesome! Super flexible with a last minute booking due to our family emergency. She was amazing with our two dogs and I loved all the pictures and communication when she was with them:) we will definitely book again!”
“Kristin D. provided excellent care for our dogs during our absence. Being first-time leave-at-home pet owners, we were initially hesitant, but Kristin diligently sent us regular photo updates, which greatly reassured us. We are highly satisfied with her service and intend to engage her again in the future.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life- dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, rats, hedgehogs, etc. Anyone who knows me knows I have such a big heart for animals and am truly amazed by them. I am currently in school to get my degree in biology to use to work at the San Antonio Zoo in animal conservation. I am trusted by all friends, family and coworkers to pet sit- I even have experience in administering medication to pets and experience in caring for senior animals. I believe all animals deserve love and respect no matter their size, and I promise to take care of your pet like my own. I currently work as a manager at a coffee shop, so I don’t mind getting up early or staying up late to take care of your pet. I am not on a fixed schedule, so week by week it may change but I will always have time to care for your pet. I am a very aware person, and I know how much pets are part of the family. I will ensure that no animal gets out and that their routine is accounted for at all times. I believe in making sure animals are well taken care of- physically and emotionally.
“This was our first time using Rover, as we’ve always relied on friends in the past—and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction than working with Ericka. She was kind, patient, and incredibly responsive from the start, taking the time to answer all our questions and even offering to do a meet-and-greet before we left. That extra effort really put us at ease. We were traveling out of the country with limited internet access, but Ericka handled everything perfectly. She went above and beyond in caring for our two cats, even cleaning up after one got sick (just a furball, thankfully!), fixing our Roomba when it got stuck, and taking in a package that was delivered while we were away. She also kept us updated on all the little things we were concerned about—like whether the automatic feeder and water fountains were working properly—which gave us such peace of mind. Most importantly, our cats clearly adored her. We came home to happy, healthy kitties. We can’t thank Ericka enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!”

“As a fellow rover sitter, Madalyn did an amazing job taking care my babies over the weekend. She was always responsive and my doggies loved her. Thanks to her my weekend away went smooth and I didn’t have to worry about my dogs because I knew they were in great and responsible hands. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

“This was Melisa's first drop in visit with Katie and it went great. She gave my dog her medication, took her outside and played with her and made my day away much easier knowing I didn't have to worry!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have my own, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and I’m very familiar with the kind of care and attention they need. I also have experience caring for dogs with health conditions, including giving medication and providing extra support when needed. I understand how important it is to be gentle and detail-oriented, especially with older or sick pets. I love both dogs and cats and really enjoy spending time with them. I’m very responsible, patient, and genuinely care about animals, so I will always treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work part-time and have classes during the day, but I still have a lot of availability during the week. I’m free Monday and Wednesday mornings before 10:45 AM, and I’m sometimes available Tuesday mornings and Thursdays depending on the week. I’m also available every weekday after 3:30 PM. I’m fully available on Fridays, and usually available Saturday mornings and evenings, as well as Sunday nights. I’m happy to communicate and adjust based on your needs! Due to my apartment’s policies, I’m not able to host pets in my own home. However, I’m more than happy to come to your home so your pet can stay in their own familiar and comfortable environment while receiving the best care.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats for more than 20 years. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, administering medicine, and giving your pets extra love and attention while you are away. I’m currently semi-retired so I have a flexible schedule. I am originally from Massachusetts and moved to San Antonio in 2022 to be near my children and grandkids. I am reliable, honest, and loving. I can care for your pets in your home and will follow any instructions given. I am happy to bring your pets to my home but only have a small yard so it may not be ideal for larger dogs.
About: Dog lover and experienced pet caregiver with 12+ years as a proud dog mom to my sweet chiweenie, Max! I’ve cared for family pets for nearly two decades and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels — from playful pups to senior dogs needing a little extra TLC. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication administration, feeding, cuddles, belly rubs, or just a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I’m here to help. I love getting out for sniff-filled strolls, step goals, and leisurely neighborhood walks tailored to your dog’s pace and personality. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while in my care. 🫶🏼 I currently work from home with a flexible schedule to accommodate drop ins or walks throughout the day with my best availability in the mornings, lunch, or late afternoon. I can also be available on weekends! I am always sure to stay calm around new pets, letting them warm up to me before we get started. Whether they are ready to roll and get to stepping, or want to lounge about with cuddles and attention I always take my queues for what they need.
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Waffle. She did two drop-in visits and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear right away that she genuinely loves animals—Waffle warmed up to her immediately. She was punctual, communicative, and sent thoughtful updates that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a very happy and relaxed pup, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Sydney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life from dogs to cats to horses! I love all animals, in any shape or size. I have two fur babies of my own a GSP lamed Louie and an English cocker spaniel named Leo! I know how important it is to have someone you trust take care if your babies when you're not there and I’d love to be that person! I am available most afternoons and weekends to help! I am in nursing school full time but I’d love to come and check in on your pets during my weekends and free time. I’d love to come and check on your hairs in the evening/morning and on any weekends you are gone, making sure they are happy and safe! As well as giving the all the loving!
“Destiny was really great! She was super responsive, and I loved all the photos and descriptions. I could tell she really enjoyed taking care of my cats, and that they enjoyed spending time with her! :) She is wonderful as a sitter, and I highly recommend her!”

Meeting with Bailey and Minnie Pearl went off without a hitch. She was so excited to meet Bailey and to share her favorite toys. As for me, it was instant trust, and I couldn’t be happier with Bailey. They played together and even took a brief walk while still learning the leash. Bailey was sweet and caring and has a positive energy and enthusiasm. I highly recommend her for your pet!
