About: I've had dogs ever since I was a kid. Now I have my own dog that I am training to be a service dog and it is going very well. I have also helped train other dogs too. I also regularly go-to animal shelters and spend time with dogs still trying to find a home and help socialize them. I work part time at the Zoo so sometimes I am working a full day. I take my dog to daycare at least once a week to help him socialize and get out more since he is the only dog I have. I do have a lot of exotic animals plus my ferrets that I take care of daily before bed. Especially with the ferrets I make sure they get out and play enough. Your dog will always be supervised indoors and outdoors. I am confident in handling any situation that might happen even if it's navigating helping a nervous or stressed animal.

“Abagail was amazing!! She checked in on our 3 pets and sent update pictures each time. We have an older, grumpy chihuahua and she was very patient with him. All the pets were comfortable with her from the start. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
“We were a little nervous at first with booking drop-in visits through Rover because we have only ever had our dogs taken care of by close friends and family while we were away. From our initial meet and greet, our 70 pound dogs (a senior Lab mix and a 3 year old extremely hyper Doberman) immediately took a liking to Samantha. She gave us such a wonderful first experience with drop-in visits that we now have the peace of mind from having someone that we could depend on and trust with our fur-babies. She was very punctual with our scheduled drop-ins to feed and water them. She also provided a whole lot of love, attention, and playtime. We received updates and entertaining pictures for the visits so we did not have to worry about anything and we knew they were in great hands.”

“Robyn took care of my two indoor kitties while I was gone for a week she did a great job of what I asked her to do while I was gone and you could tell she respected my house and cats as the way I do and you could tell my cats were very happy being in their own house and not at a boarding place she sent me a text and pictures on a daily basis how things were going which was very comforting to me to see my cats happy I would recommend Robyn to anyone who would like to have a caring person take care of their animals Kevin in Charlotte Texas”
“They took excellent care of our 16 yo Chihuahua and 8 yo cat! They were very thorough, always refilled food/water, gave treats, played with them, made sure they had potty time, and even brought in packages left outside. Definitely recommend booking these two if you want peace of mind your pets will be well cared for.”
“Linda took such good care of our puppy while we were on vacation! She gave our dog a lot of love and attention and sent us photos and videos so we could see he was having a great time with her. It was so easy to relax while we knew our puppy was in good hands! We definitely recommend her and would have her watch our puppy again any time. ☺️”

“Kaylee was phenomenal! It was a last minute booking but she jumped right in. She was able to meet the boys the day before and they absolutely adored her. She was very communicative, polite, and respectful. She always reached out if she had any questions and responded fast if we needed to get ahold of her. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I love caring for all dogs as if they were my own. I have years of experience with my own dogs as well as with friends dogs. I walk, bathe, take care of over night if that’s what your pet needs. I’m fully committed to making this my full time job. Every day I am available and willing to travel as far as 15miles for walks and check ins. Also for boarding, they can spend the night and have a great time with me and my beautiful border collie. I have a big fenced backyard with doggy door access. A crate if that’s what you prefer. My dog is very friendly and loves to play. If you want me to drop by your home and check in to feed, bathe, administer medicine, or just simply play time. If they need a walk as well.

About: I've been a dog lover my whole life, owning and caring for pups of all sizes since I was 8. Every experience with them has made me a better person, and now I get to combine that passion with my daily routine! Dog walking not only keeps me active but also helps keep me happy ^w^ I can’t wait to meet your pup and go for a fun run—or a leisurely walk if that’s more their style! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I typically work evenings, any time I'm not at work though I'm usually spending time with my own dog at home, or trying to make extra to save up for a car and groceries 😁 However you as the client tell me to treat your pet, I will gladly treat your pet, nothing is too embarrassing or too much, as long as they're with me, they get my sole attention 😊
About: Whether your dog needs play time or a quiet environment, they will love hanging out with me and my 4 legged companion. When I'm not working, my dog and I go on some pretty cool adventures together and he loves it when I dog sit a dog at his speed. Your dog will not be cooped up in a kennel unless you make this request. When they are not playing, your pet will be kept indoors. I have over 10 years of working with bully breeds and hybrids. High energy breeds is my field of expertise. My home is minutes from the beautiful San Antonio River and we visit there often. Some of our favorite hangouts are, the Pearl Brewery, San Antonio Riverwalk, Alamo Quarry, Calaveras Lake and many nature trails in our area. I will spoil your Best Friend as I do my own. Proceeds from my Pet sits will benefit my non profit that provides emergency groceries for Homebound Seniors. About this sitter: I totally get it! Let me visit your pets in the comfort of their own home. I'm use to traveling and frequent the major cities of TX every month. I am very familiar with the city of S.A. and surrounding. Your dog will receive a walk twice a day if you would like him or her to. I have trained and worked with all breeds and sizes so no dog is too big or high energy for me! Why I love dog sitting My Grandfather raised German Shepherds and my Father loved Large Breeds. Growing up, I remember always having dogs. In 2000 I started a group called Mutt Rescue & Adoption to help save dogs that are pending euthanasia at the city Pound. Our group rescued and transported animals nationwide. We saved thousands of dogs from euthanasia! My experience administering medication I can administer medication by oral or injection. I can take your do on early morning walks/runs or late runs, temperature and weather permitting. I am an avid runner so high energy breeds work great with my lifestyle! I try to stick to the dog's current schedule. If it's a puppy, then I help with the toilet training process. I do have 2 cats in my home, but they can be separated to another bedroom if your dog does not co exist well with cats.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pleasanton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
