“We recently had Samuel look after our dog in our home while we traveled for a few days. He offered a meet and greet and explained very thoroughly how he’d care for our dog. He listened and asked questions about our dog’s routine to make sure he provides the best care. While we were traveling, we received daily text messages with pictures and updates of our dog. We had a great experience working with Sam, Thank You for taking such amazing care of our dog and home. Mini really enjoyed your company! We will be in contact again!”
“Jessica is fantastic! Very sweet and caring. My anxious dog warmed up to her right away and she was very good at administering medication to my elderly chihuahua! I will definitely book again. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Saved my can when another pet sitter failed to follow instructions and I had to fire them from a far. Roxanne came in and took great care of my babies. They were calm and happy when I got home.”
“Lovely, communicative gals. They took good care of my girl and she seemed so relaxed and happy when we got home. Appreciate them so much, would definitely rebook!”
About: Hi, my name is Soleil and I currently attend UTSA online as a Computer Science major. I have hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs as a longterm petsitter. My responsibilities have included giving medication, feeding/exercise/potty schedules, and providing attentive care to pets with anxiety or special needs. I’m committed to creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every animal I look after, and I take care in being dependable, detail oriented, and compassionate. I am a full time online college student at UTSA which allows for a flexible schedule so I can provide consistent and attentive pet care throughout the week. I’m able to adjust my routine as needed to accommodate daily visits, walks, or longterm pet stays. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort. I follow instructions carefully and create a calm, loving environment. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel happy, safe, and at ease while you’re away.
“Samantha took amazing care of our pups in our home! She communicated so well through the day with updates of the dogs. Very easy day and gave us the peace of mind that our fur babies were well loved while we were out.”
“Christina was AWESOME. Will definitely be booking in the future. She looked after my pets well, kept me updated regularly, and even kept my apartment tidy and looked after! Highly recommend”
“Stormy is a dog magnet! My dogs took to her like they'd known her all of their lives the first second they met her! Stormy is very professional and is so kind. I recommend her highly.”
“Jeremiah looked after my home and 5 year old rottweiler while we were away for a week. He was very professional and kept me updated on my pup and house daily. We will be using Jeremiah for sittings for the future. Thank you!”
“Bella was very friendly, provided great care for the critters (while they provided her entertainment lol), and kept the house just as we left it. Would definitely use her again!”
“Leah is an absolute gem! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—we felt completely at ease the entire time we were away in Puerto Rico. We didn’t worry for a second, knowing our dogs were in such loving and capable hands. Whiskey and Rye adore her (which says everything), and to top it all off, we came home to a house that was somehow cleaner than we left it! Leah went above and beyond in every way, and we’ll 100% be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Brandy was truly amazing and would definitely have her watch Callie again! She was available last minute and very attentive to our needs when it came to caring for Callie which was truly appreciated 🙏🏽 Brandy is also very mindful and considerate when staying in my home as well, she offered to water my plants and take care of other things she noticed while we were away which we appreciated greatly!! Callie enjoyed having Brandy be with her over the weekend.”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to quickly build trust with even the most timid or independent puppy, dog, or senior dog in your family. It will be my primary job outside of taking care of my elderly parents. I have the flexibility to be able to spend quality time. I will take care of your pet in your home, based of your specific instructions. Pets do better in their normal environment, it helps with trust.
“Abigail took such good care of my baby. She made a trip I was anxious about so relaxing, because I knew Cora was being taken care of so well. She gave me daily updates, pictures, and even let Cora tag along for car rides (her favorite). I would definitely recommend Abigail!”
About: I’ve dog sit for some family friends but I want to further my experience and meet new babies! Have had 2 puppies, a Yorkie, and a bulldog! I work part time but during the week I only work 2 hours so plenty of time for drop-ins and boarding. With enough notice I will do 2-3 day sitting/boarding. I have a large 2.5 acre yard full off trees and bushes for long walks! If your fur baby loves swimming they can also we welcomed in our dog friendly pool cleaned every week :)
“Kailin was fantastic! She was very easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures, and really seemed to enjoy my animals! I definitely recommend her and will use her again!”
About: Hi, I'm Candace! I've been a dog lover and owner my entire life, growing up in a household where training and caring for dogs was second nature. My mom and I even trained a toy schnauzer to be a certified service dog for my father! At home, our three Boston Terriers rule the roost. While the two older ones prefer to lounge in the back room, our youngest is always excited to make new furry friends. I do my best to be attentive and responsive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I never rush or pressure a dog to do anything they’re uncomfortable with. Every pup has their quirks—one of mine is scared of shiny floors, another is afraid of certain water bowls—so I make a point to be flexible and understanding. Because every dog is different, I typically keep boarded dogs separate from ours for the first half-day. This gives them time to settle in and adjust to a new environment at their own pace. Once they seem relaxed and comfortable, I slowly introduce them to our Boston Terriers, one at a time. This gradual approach has led to much smoother transitions than doing all the introductions right away. Our home is well set up for both safety and fun, with plenty of space for play, relaxation, and quiet time as needed. My boyfriend, Jimmy, and I have lived together for 14 years, and we’ve cared for hundreds of dogs over the years—proudly maintaining a 5-star rating! We're both very hands-on, making sure every pup gets regular potty breaks, walks, and plenty of affection. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and provide them with a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away! I stay at home when I am boarding your pets so they have my full attention almost always. If I have to run to the store or anything like that, I have a Furbo camera so I can check in and talk with your pet and even toss them a treat or two while I’m away. Fully fenced in back yard. My home is shaped like a “U” inside so it can be partitioned in a way to give dogs private access to one whole half of the house if they prefer to stay separate.

Oxbow pet parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha was the absolute best! It’s not often we leave our pups especially for a week and a half so we were nervous to find someone we trusted to take care them and make them feel good while we were gone- Samantha did that and more! Sent pictures and updates everyday and also we truly could tell she loved being around our pups which gave us a sense of ease. Highly recommend her if you are looking for a sitter while you are away!
Keishli was absolutely amazing taking care of our wheelie baby Archie! It was our first time having a sitter watch him for a full week after his disability, and I cannot thank Keishli enough for taking such good care of him and keeping us updated throughout the week. Archie warmed up to her right away, and we can’t wait to book again for future house visits!
Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.
Ana did an incredible job watching our two dogs for an entire week. We met twice before our trip and she asked all the right questions and was extremely thorough. She sent us updates throughout each day and it may us feel so confident and happy to know our pups were in good hands. Our pups take meds and have a specific routine and she was able to follow it perfectly. She’s great with communication and taking care of fur children. She’s truly an animal lover. She even brushed them and helped coordinate other visitors coming to the house. I highly recommend Ana!
Brandy was an amazing house and pet sitter! She came to the rescue the night before we went out of town and our previous sitter cancelled. And during a holiday week too! She was very communicative and responded quickly and sent us updates of our boy and also spent so much time with him! Our house was just as we left it when we returned! We’re so thankful to have found Brandy and can’t wait for her to be our go to sitter in the future. Thanks for everything :)
This was my second booking with Mari and she did a fantastic job! She was great at keeping me in the loop with photos and updates on my kitties. My favorite thing of all was that she was able to make my SUPER shy cat, Flora, come out of her shell and explore/want pets instead of just hiding away in a closet. I think it speaks volumes to how kind and patient Mari is with the animals she cares for. I would trust her to watch my cats anytime and recommend her to others as well!
