“I just moved to San Antonio and found LeeAnn on Rover based on positive reviews and was SO HAPPY she could help me when I needed to go on my first work trip since I moved to the city!! She not only watched my 2 year old pup, Henry for a week, but she also dropped into my house to check on my cat, Toto a few times throughout the week to make sure he had food and water! She made me feel so secure when I left my key in a new place at the house (because silly me forgot to bring it to her when dropping off my pup at her place) and she even let me know when she found it! I can't recommend her enough!”
“Roxann was absolutely amazing with Mac, she went above and beyond to spend time with him and I couldn’t have imagined a better person to watch him than her”
“Ciria was a great Rover! Very attentive to our animals and communicative after visits. I know our animals loved when she came over for the drop-in visits. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of big and small breeds, I have also trained my own pup several things. I love making sure pups are given love and affection! They are our Bestfriends in this world, as dog parents we should give them the best care.🤍 I am a College student who has plenty of free time with a flexible schedule and plenty of love to give the pups. I love showing the babies new tricks and treating them as my own. I have a big furry friend and her name is Ladie she is a German shepherd who is well maintained and has crazy energy which i love. I also have a small pup who’s our recent one to the family and her name is Luna she is a pug who is more calm and quiet but is also well maintained, both of my pups were taught to do tricks by myself and my family. ❤️
“Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve provided pet sitting services for friends and family for the past few years I’ve made it a point ensuring that they receive the care and attention they need while their owners are away. I am comfortable following specific feeding routines, and providing companionship to your fur babies. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your fur babies while you are away. I am currently working a part time job with the flexibility to be able to accommodate you and your fur babies needs when you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on fun and stimulating walks. I enjoy taking the time to get to know each pet's personality, preferences, and special needs to provide the best care possible.
About: A new chapter has me working from home full-time — and I’m so excited to open my home again! I’d love to care for your pup while you’re away, offering cuddles, calm vibes, and a cozy space shared with my two small resident dogs. 🐾 Meet the Crew: Iggy is my 13-year-old tripod and self-appointed commander-in-chief. He mostly keeps to his cozy corner, supervising the house and making sure playtime doesn’t get out of hand. Dolly is my 4-year-old shadow. She’s a little shy at first but warms up quickly. If your pup wants to play, she’s in — but she’s just as happy to nap nearby and match their energy. 💛 My Experience: I fostered dogs for over seven years — from tiny puppies to more sensitive or reactive rescues. That variety helped me get really good at reading dog dynamics, adjusting space, and creating a low-stress, respectful environment for everyone involved. 🏡 My Setup: Pups have free roam of the living room and kitchen (with lots of nap spots — doggy couch included!) I use baby gates and barriers to create calm zones or give dogs space when needed If I step out briefly, I can crate your pup if you prefer — or I can safely separate mine in the bedroom and give yours the run of the main space I rotate rest time so every pup gets solo downtime when needed — it’s always about keeping things calm and dog-centered We also have a medium-large backyard (fully fenced, about 20 yards long), no cats or kids, and lots of cozy options for sleep and chill time. Whether your pup is a cuddlebug, a watcher, or a play-in-the-yard type, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for. I currently work fully remote and am home all day — your dog will never be alone for long stretches. My own pups are a huge part of my life (they probably eat better than I do), and I deeply believe dogs rely on us for reassurance, love, and care. I do everything I can to live up to that, every single day. During my break from Rover, I continued fostering — over 100 puppies in the last few years. At the time, I was still going into the office, which wasn’t ideal, but it was still better than them staying at risk in the shelter. That chapter taught me so much about different temperaments, special needs, and how to create an environment where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — even when it’s not their usual home. Safety and trust are everything in my home. I don’t take guest pups on walks — my neighborhood occasionally has loose dogs, and I’d rather eliminate that risk altogether. Instead, all outdoor time happens in my fully fenced backyard, and I’m always outside supervising. My immediate neighbors don’t have dogs, so there’s no fence-line tension — just the occasional curious cat that might cause a short ruckus. Indoors, I keep the environment clean, calm, and free of hazards, with soft barriers and rest zones to help everyone feel safe and settled. I also regularly review the Red Cross Pet First Aid app to stay up to date on emergency protocols like choking or injury. Your pup’s comfort and safety are never left to chance — they’re at the center of everything I do.
“Allison was fantastic! Took great care of my cat, played with him, and had great communication throughout. I highly recommend these sitters!”
“We had to fly out for a three-day trip on very short notice. We have two cats: a 13-year-old diabetic orange cat who we call our "love sponge," and a thee-year-old lever, mischievous tortie. Morgan understood the assignment. She had not given insulin to a cat before. I showed her how to do it, left written instructions, and all insulin doses went well. The cats were happy and healthy when we returned. My diabetic cat had a veterinarian appointment when we returned, and his glucose and neutrophils were within a good range.”

“Sarah is incredibly responsible, LOVES my boy, and makes sure that I am okay with whatever she wants to do before she does it (car rides, walks, bathing, etc). She’s super quick to let me know if something seems off or she’s unsure; she leans on the safe side! She has been my go-to gal for anytime I am away, and my boy absolutely loves her! Anytime we see her out on a walk, my boy is beyond thrilled to see her, and honestly more than he is to see me sometimes lol. I cannot recommend her enough!”
