About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from Golden Retrievers and Pit Bulls to Yorkies and Dachshunds. In addition to growing up with dogs, I have experience dog sitting for multiple families, including week-long stays where I was fully responsible for daily care, feeding, walking, and maintaining routines. I’m very diligent about sticking to walking and feeding schedules, and I take a dog’s health seriously. I pay close attention to diet, ingredients, and overall well-being, and I make sure each dog is cared for according to their specific needs and routines. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, especially when their owners are away. I’ve also worked on basic training with both my own dog and family dogs, teaching commands such as sit, wait, lay down, and spin, as well as leash training. I understand the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement, and I’m happy to reinforce training routines that owners already have in place. I currently have a Yorkie who I’ve had for three years and who lives with me, so I’m very familiar with the daily care, attention, and patience dogs need. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m currently a full-time student, but I only have classes two days out of the week, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of availability during weekdays, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to give dogs lots of attention, walks, and consistent care throughout the day. I focus on providing safe, attentive care in the pet’s familiar environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal routines. During walks, I always use a secure leash and harness (when provided) and keep dogs under close supervision at all times. I stay aware of surroundings, avoid unsafe areas, and adjust walks based on the dog’s energy level and weather conditions. If a dog is accustomed to using a fenced area or dog park, I only allow off-leash play when it is secure and approved by the owner. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets have fresh food and water, follow feeding schedules carefully, and provide playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship. I also double-check doors, gates, and locks before leaving to keep pets safe. I treat each client’s home with respect and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

About: I’ve owned and cared for pets my entire life, giving me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and routines. I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own—providing plenty of love, attention, patience, and dependable care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I’m committed to making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am able to work full-time day or night for whatever needs your furry friends may have! I am devoted to giving your pets all the loving care that they need! I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine, keeping their space clean and safe, and giving them plenty of attention and love—just like their owners would.

About: I’ve taken care of 3 week old pup up to adult dogs, have dog-sat for friends and neighbors plenty of times! Big dog lover! I’ve trained to do tricks as got potty training out the way real quick! I am a full time University student who is looking to make money, my school schedule is very flexible! I’m available every day of the week! My dog is an inside dog, he will never come in contact with any pets I sit because I highly value the pets safety first. I am very accommodating to needs to be met by owners such as crate, walking, or even indoor playing time.

“Veronica was amazing with my puppies, They didn’t know her, and they fell in love with her, jumping all over her and waiting for her to pet them. She was so sweet with my babies and so easy to talk to definitely will book her again.”

Memmo C.

“Sabrina is amazing! My pups loved having her come over and she kept me and my girlfriend updated with pictures and videos. She not only let our dogs out during her drop in visits but she stayed for 30-45 minutes and played with them and gave them lots of attention. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to any of my friends here in town!”

“Karla, is such a thoughtful kitty caregiver. She played with Jack, noted his moods and behaviors (shared them with me), and went above and beyond. Karla is the best.”

Candace C.

“Caryn is wonderful! She asked pertinent questions during the meet-and-greet, and took notes which made me feel like she cares and takes her job seriously. I've used her twice now (once for multiple overnight stays and once for a drop-in). During both visits, she sent photos of Frankie, kept me informed, and left my house clean! I would highly recommend having Caryn watch your furbabies.”

Monica P.

“Jenna was great with our pups! I really appreciated getting detailed updates & photos from each visit. Our babies were happy and well cared for when we got back. Everything went really smoothly. Thank you, Jenna!”

Kandy V.

“I have five fur babies, three are totally comfortable with sitters, but two are adopted puppies who came from abusive situations. Even at two years old and with training, they are still very hesitant around new people. Samuel has been incredibly patient, taking the time to meet with them multiple times and working at their pace to help them feel safe and comfortable, especially knowing he’ll be pet sitting for a full week. He has been gracious, calm, and understanding in every interaction, and his positive outlook toward the dogs—even with their standoffish nature—has meant so much to me. It’s clear he truly cares about animals and understands their individual needs. I would 100% recommend Samuel for any pet sitting or drop-in visits and feel completely confident leaving my pets in his care.”

Anysa G.

“Ryan was great! Communicated well pre and during our vacation. He is responsible, timely and caring. We will use him again when needed. Thanks Ryan!”

Todd K.

“Marla far surpassed my expectations and was my dream pet sitter. I had no worries at all about my pet and was so happy that he was so well taken care of! And she sent me the cutest photos on every visit! Marla is a pro!”

About: As a long-time dog owner of 8 years, I have consistent experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, and providing a calm, loving environment so pets feel at home. Pet care is my full-time job, so my daily and weekly routine is built entirely around caring for pets. This allows me to be very flexible and attentive with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them as if they were my own. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and keep their routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of love, playtime, and walks, and always have fresh water. I give lots of attention, cuddles (if they like them!), and reassurance, while keeping their space clean and cozy. I also send regular updates so owners feel connected and at ease while they’re away.

“Olivia was amazing! She came by to feed our senior cat who only eats wet food. We also have other cats that can make things tricky since they always want that food too, but she followed our instructions perfectly and handled it with no problem. It’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy come into our home and care for our pets. We’ll definitely be booking with Olivia again!”

Kate M.

“Ashley is an incredibly responsible pet sitter! She’s reliable, sticking to scheduled drop-in visits. She responds to messages promptly and gives thorough information in her updates. Most importantly, she is naturally intuitive about the animals she checks in on. She was very kind and took great care of my pets while I was gone over night. Highly recommend her!”

Mel S.

“I got constant updates. Lindsey is so sweet and considerate. My dogs are used to being kenneled but they also can be left to roam and she would ask for preference each day. She took her own cleaning supplies.”

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. I care for your pets like they're my family's pets. 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! I enjoy jogging / hiking, and 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 and on weekends. For House Sittinng, my availability tends to be best on the weekends. I have a hybrid job, and can stay at your home/residence on beginning Thursday night and going to Fridays - Sundays I work full-time, in a 8am to 5pm job on Mondays to Fridays. I can visit your fur baby after 5 pm Monday - Thursday and anytime from Friday - Sunday! I do have Holidays off and can go feed your fur baby if you are away for the holidays. Walks: - Mondays - Thursday after 5pm - 12 - 1 pm on Fridays and after 5pm Fridays. - anytime Saturdays and Sundays I usually let my sister's dog have at it in my apartment! I like leaving her a small bed so she can rest as needed. If you want your pet in a crate, that's OK. I can ensure they are put there. I can walk your dogs at La Cantera where it is both safe and fun for pets, or at any trail that is close to your residence.

“Eric is definitely my No.1 sitter choice! He was caring and followed all the instructions we left for him. He communicated throughout his visits. I would highly recommend Eric to watch your fur buddies!!!!”

“David was awesome! He took great care of our 2 cats. Each time he dropped in, he sent photos and gave us updates. This was our first time using Rover and having a drop-in service. We will definitely use both Rover and David again.”
