“Rylee exceeded all expectations, and we are lucky to have found her. She is communicative, engaging, responsible, and most importantly, caring. She sat our furry family and home for nearly two weeks, regularly sending updates and photos while we were out of the country. We highly recommend her for anyone seeking a sitter for pet and/or home. She will be our choice for the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Reily watched my two kitties for the weekend and did an amazing job! She followed all instructions, sent lots of updates and pictures, kept my home extremely clean. Will be using her again 😊🐈”
“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.”
“Michelle was such a great house sitter and dog sitter! She took such great care of our boys, updating us with pictures, videos, and messages of anything going on. She followed our instructions and even gave one of our dogs his daily medications. We will definitely be planning on using Michelle’s services again, and I recommend anyone who is needing services to use Michelle. She is amazing!!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all needs, including raising and rescuing a three-legged dog, which taught me patience and how to handle disabilities and medical care. I’m comfortable with routines and medications and always prioritize a dog’s comfort and safety. I’ve pet sat many times, often while babysitting, so I’m reliable and responsible. I’m also experienced with puppies, currently raising a French Bulldog and an Australian Shepherd, and I bring patience, attention, and genuine love to every dog I care for. Pet care fits well into my routine. Monday–Thursday I babysit from 8–3, so I’m available early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and late nights. I can do drop-ins, walks, or feedings around that schedule and stay consistent. On weekends, I’m fully available at any time of day, which allows me to provide more flexible care, including longer visits or overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free in a familiar environment. I closely follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain a clean, organized space while also making sure your pet has plenty of fun, exercise, and attention. I’m experienced with puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, and dogs with medical needs, and I can administer medications if needed. I always respect your home and leave it just as clean as I found it.
“Leah is the first person to watch our pets (out of many) with whom I felt completely comfortable and didn’t worry about my pets constantly. She was communicative and made it clear that she takes care of our pets like she would her own!”
“Victoria was a great sitter!! One of the best ones I’ve had and kept me updated with all information a dog mom wants to know when is out of town. I know she took care of Bonnie like her own and I appreciated that very much!!!❤️”
“Georgia was fantastic! She was available on short notice and took amazing care of our dog, Milo. Our dog is an anxious rescue, but she is a dog whisperer and immediately put our boy at ease and he was even wanting to sleep with her night one and showing his belly which he doesn’t do unless he’s 100% comfortable. I apologized for running low on his supplies and for him being a little stinky since his bath was delayed and she didn’t even hesitate to offer to go grab what he needed and even offered to bathe him. On top of taking great care of him, she took care of us anxious dog parents and communicated every step of the way and gave lots of updates and pictures. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Meg was great! I've never let anyone whom I did not know stay in my house, but I tried Rover and Meg out per a friends suggestions.She stayed for 4 days and watched my 4 dogs and 1 cat. She was wonderful, I came back to a house cleaner than I left it and to very happy puppies. Thank tou Meg! ”
“Dora was absolutely wonderful. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Left our house as she found it - maybe cleaner!- and sent lots of videos and texts. Will definitely have her back!”
“Rachel was amazing with our dogs! We had videos and texts daily updating us of our pups. She has a history of dog sitting for years and it’s evidence. We loved having Rachel and cannot wait to have her back.”
About: I have 10+ years of dog experience, including helping with labor and delivery twice! I currently do not own any pets, so your fur baby will have my fullest attention! I enjoy playing with, talking to, and loving on all dogs! In the past I have helped clients at their own homes. I have a flexible schedule, and enjoy taking dogs on walks. I do work part-time so my schedule is more flexible. I have flexible hours with my job so I am able to drop by your pup’s home almost anytime! I love to give your dog some love and play time with my fullest attention!
“Samuel was fantastic!! We have never left our girls with anyone but family before, so Samuel came for a meet and greet before we booked and he put us at ease. Both dogs really liked him from the start. He stayed at our house for 3 nights and sent multiple pictures and updates every day! It really helped us to enjoy our vacation knowing the girls were in good hands!! Thanks Sam!! A+++++”
“Jean-Paul was an excellent sitter for our two English Bulldogs. He provided lots of pictures and updates, which was great! He’s gone above and beyond to make sure our dogs are loved and cared for while we’re away.”
“Damien did an amazing job at caring for my dogs. They warmed up to him very quickly loved being around him. He was also very respectful of the house and very clean. I will be booking him again. I highly recommend Damien to anyone needing a good sitter.”
About: I've experienced the magic of pets since I was young. My parents' house includes a Shih Tzu, Labrador, and a mixed cat! They behave different but have tons of love that they give us. We love our pets, and I know you love yours, too. I've cared for pets of a variety of ages and sizes. I update clients every day / walk that their pet is in my care. If you need a scheduled sitter in advance or a last minute sitter, just ask! Let's work together. First-time clients get 10% off for the first appointment. I'm responsible and trustworthy. I hold a master's degree and work full-time, but can step away during lunch breaks to feed pets and can go after 5pm. I also love giving daily updates on your pet while you are away! For house sitting, I leave your home the way I find it. I appreciate a clean space in my own home, and I take pride in respecting your home. I enjoy jogging / hiking. I regularly walk my parents' Labrador when I am home; thus, taking your fur baby on a walk is not a challenge for me. I walk often, and will be sure to keep your pets safe! I am aware of snakes and other predators lurking in San Antonio's trails and have training in snake bite care. I haven't had to use it, yet, but it is good info to know! I can walk your dog anytime after 5pm, Mondays - Fridays. I am usually flexible with my time on weekends if given advanced notice. I do not walk pets in extreme heat (outside temperature of 90 or more, unless their is ample shade in your neighborhood), as I prioritize their safety/wellness and do not want to burn their paws.
“We had a fantastic experience with Lindsey. She was reliable, on time for the visits, friendly and great at keeping us updated and sending pics of our babies. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Dani is amazing! We are so thankful for her. She did a great job pet sitting Oreo on very short noticed. Oreo is recovering from being spayed and couldn’t go to the pet resort we normally have her at during the week. She did a great job making sure Oreo was comfortable and didn’t over-excite herself.”
About: I have a lot of experience with animals since I’ve grown up taking care of my own pets, including both dogs and cats. Having them has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to meet the needs of different types of animals. My pets are a big part of my life, and I really enjoy spending time with them and making sure they’re happy and healthy. I walk the dogs, give them baths, as well as feed and care for them. I am studying education at UTSA, and have classes that change every semester. I also work during the school year as the same schedule for NISD, because I am a teacher for learning tree. Monday-Friday 2:30-6:30pm. I always respond to messages and I am very good with time management! Since I have a busy schedule as a college student, I need as many details as possible and need to book me 2 weeks in advance. Sometimes I will accept last second jobs too. When caring for pets in my own home or a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. This includes feeding them on schedule, giving them plenty of fresh water, exercise, and playtime, as well as keeping their living spaces clean. I also spend quality time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing with toys, or just giving them attention and affection so they feel happy and cared for.
Oxbow pet parents share their Rover experiences
Faith has watched Terre several times now and has always been wonderful! She’s reliable, communicative, and takes great care of him. I always feel comfortable leaving Terre with her because I know he’s in good hands. She’s been a huge help, and I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
We had an absolute wonderful time will chole. We had her for a couple of over night days. She play and walked our dog and took the time to truly care for our picky cats. We could not have asked for a better person to take care of our animals. She was completely through and would give us lovely pictures and updates on our babies. She was even able to snuggle or very skiddish kitty and that never happens. If you are looking for a pet sitter and are anxious about it look no further Chole is the best!
Beyoncé was fabulous! Took great care of our pup and our home. Very calm and pleasant demeanor that made us feel good about leaving our newest family member with someone new. Kept us updated along the way. Hope to have the opportunity to utilize her services again in the future!
We had a wonderful experience with this sitter caring for our three dogs. They were attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond throughout the entire stay. One of our dogs is a senior and requires extra care, and they never hesitated to take on the additional responsibilities. They were also incredibly helpful when unexpected medical treatment was needed during the stay, handling everything with compassion and professionalism. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such capable hands. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
This is the second time we had Samantha watch our pups for us while we were out of town and quite honestly the only person we will use if we go away. I get anxiety leaving my little pups and knowing they are with her I stress far less. I am so appreciative of her and how she loves and cares for my pups!
Victoria did a wonderful job sitting for my dogs and cats. I know it's a lot of work with multiple pets, especially with my oldest dog, Charlie, who takes multiple medications. Victoria followed all instructions and kept me updated with pictures and messages while I was gone. I appreciated not having to worry while I was out of town.
Isabel was absolutely incredible. She stayed overnight at our home and took amazing care of our dogs, cat, and even our bunny. Her communication was outstanding — frequent updates, photos, and quick responses that made us feel completely at ease. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. Truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever had.
Keishli was absolutely phenomenal! She communicated multiple times a day describing how things were going, my pup’s mood, and lots of pictures. She went above and beyond in every way. Keishli is very professional and I will call her first every single time I need my Dane in the best hands. Highest recommendation!!
We enjoyed the services provided by Riley. She attended to the needs of our pets, provided pictures and updates on how they were responding to her and the care she was providing. My wife and I recommend Riley for overnight stays with your pets. She is competent and her communications give you peace of mind while being away on travel.
