“Ericka did an amazing job looking after our 3 kitties! She is clearly very experienced, loves animals, was very communicative and took great pics. Our kitties are normally really shy and she was able to get them to eat and come out. Very happy with Ericka and will hook again!”
“Mel did such a great job at making sure my fur baby was taken care of while I was away! With the few instructions I gave him, my kitty was all set and looked after and I felt at ease the entire time I was away! Especially with all the pictures!!! Thanks so much Mel !!”
“Cathy was so accommodating and communicative during every visit with our sweet boy!! We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying if our Simba was in good hands and happy!! Thank you Cathy for making everything flow so easily!!”
“Sara was an incredible sitter that is extremely reliable and caring. She did a fantastic job with our stubborn German Shepherd and gave us peace of mind while away. We look forward to working with Sara again and can't recommend her enough!”
“Sunny was great! She was very kind and sent updates. She made herself available and was very professional when my cat threw up while she was there. Definitely recommend her!”

“Charlotte dropped by our place to take care of our kittens while we were away and was wonderful with feeding, taking care of litter, and making sure the kitties were happy!”
“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.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jessica took such wonderful care of our cat during drop-in visits and truly went above and beyond what we expected. Her communication was exceptional she sent updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. You could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”

“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: Dogpark local from the downtown area. I have a dog, Barbie, and my two cats, Kori and Envy. I’m active, positive, professional, and gentle. I feed both my cats and dog in the morning and afternoon. I take Barbie out every morning and afternoon, sometimes at night around the park. All of my animals are very playful. I am a Dogpark local, who takes care of many of my friends pets and homes. This includes taking them to the Dog Park, walking, and sitting for them.
About: I’ve been around pets since I can remember growing up with 2 dogs and 2 cats. I currently own a 5 year old orange cat named Yogurt who loves to keep me on my toes! I have experience fostering dogs through SNIPSA and am comfortable providing medical care and handling a variety of situations that come along with each individual pet. I’m comfortable and experienced with young cats/dogs to senior cats and dogs! As a pet owner I understand the stress that comes along with leaving your pet and will do my best to accommodate both you and your fur baby to make it as stress free as possible! I’m currently working full time! I have the ability to adjust my schedule with a weeks notice in terms of the hours I work either working earlies or mid day hours. I’d be able to adjust my time to what best suits your pets! I live in an apartment; however, I would be able to crate your dog if needed. I live around the Pearl area which gives me access to plenty of walking trails!
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!
“Ciria is amazing! This was our first time using Rover and a very last minute booking nonetheless. But she promptly came over to meet us & sent so many photos and updates. We felt entirely secure and at ease knowing our pets were being so well looked after. Thank you, Ciria!”
“My kitties and I will never stop singing Denigh’s praises. Even in a very short notice situation, Denigh was able to accommodate taking care of my kitties and making sure they were happy, healthy, and loved. She’s incredibly kind, responsible, and you won’t regret booking with her!”

Mel is so amazing. We have one very spicy pet and three very tiny ones who are a handful. Mel is amazing with all of them. Don’t wait to book him. He is great and your pets will love him! I don’t know what our family would do without him. He’s dependable, professional, thorough and kind to humans and pets.
Very communicative! Received lots of photos and videos. Knowledgable of dog breeds and GDV. It was nice knowing she is as observant as I am. I have a food reactive dog and she followed feeding instructions perfectly. It brought me a lot of comfort knowing Anna was looking after them. Will book her again!
Connie did an amazing job checking in on Ollie while I’ve been out of town! I loved all the photos and updates she sent, it really gave me peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. I’m sure Ollie enjoyed her company and all the attention she gave him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Sara has been such a great sitter for my furry babies! They were well taken care of, happy and relaxed! My cat, Obi, is not one to warm up easily to people, but Sara managed to get him to engage with her, come out for pics and even got him to show off his pancake routine, belly exposed. My dog, Nala, also seemed very happy with the care, walks and play time. I loved how I got timely updates, pictures in which my pets looked happy and relaxed, gave me a lot of peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Sara for all the other pet parents and we’ll 100% rebook!
This is our second time having Larissa watch our cat Electra, and I couldn't be any happier! Electra is very shy and doesn't normally warm up to people. But ut she warmed right up to Larissa and cuddled up to her. It was amazing!!! Larissa took great care of her and our home. I highly recommend her
Nev was so great for daily visits for our senior dog Duke while we took a mini vacation. Thank you so much for accepting our booking on such short notice—we truly appreciate your flexibility and willingness to help us out last minute. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pet was in good hands, and we’re really grateful for your kindness and reliability. We would absolutely book with you again!
Angelica goes above and beyond to care for my animals (cat and dog). They absolutely adore her and I have complete faith in her for caring for my pets. I love being able to take trips and not have any worries about the care my pets are getting since I know they’re in great hands!
