“So happy Jenny took care of our cat while we were away. Our cat immediately warmed up to her. While we were away she was very good about communicating with us, providing many pics to help us feel better. She even made a special trip to check on her when she thought our flight was delayed coming home. Would gladly book her again.”


“Spencer was great with our senior pittie. He worked with her some on her separation anxiety. He arrived on time and left on time. He is a gem of a sitter and we look forward to having him back.”


About: Hi! I’m Mercadez, and animals have always been at the heart of my life. I have years of hands on experience caring for pets, everything from feeding and watering to administering medications, giving baths, trimming nails, and making sure each animal gets the love and attention they deserve. I’m also a proud pet parent myself. I recently got my golden retriever puppy, Blue, and I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur baby. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I’m comfortable with all personalities and temperaments, and I believe in treating every pet like family. When your pets are with me, you can expect plenty of love, playtime, and fresh air adventures. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or just companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for, so you can feel completely worry free. I’m looking forward to building a bond with your pet and making their time without you fun and stress free! I’m employed full-time, but I love doing Rover on the side, not just for the extra income, but because it gives me the chance to spend more time with pets and get both of us some exercise. My job runs on a set schedule for 3–4 months at a time, which means I’m consistent and reliable with my availability. If my work hours ever change, I always communicate in advance so you can plan with confidence. I make sure pet care fits smoothly into my day, whether that’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening playtime, so your pet gets the attention and activity they deserve. I live in Daybreak, which is an incredibly dog-friendly community with a variety of parks, both dog specific parks of different sizes and recreational parks perfect for walks and playtime. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, bathroom breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also make sure they get daily exercise suited to their age and energy level, whether that’s a stroll through the neighborhood, a trip to one of the local parks, or some fun playtime at home. My goal is always to keep them safe, happy, and feeling loved while you’re away.

“Alaina did a great job taking care of my 10-month-old kitten, Minnie over a long weekend! She was very communicative and extremely reliable. Minnie is a very active kitten, and Alaina did a great job paying attention to what Minnie likes when she plays and made sure to give Minnie lots of attention with her favorite toys. I would have Alaina be my kitty sitter again any day!”


“This was my first experience with Rover and i was very impressed. Aiden was quick at responding and had great communication. He sent pictures of my dogs and updated me on how things were going. I will definitely ask him to help watch my dogs again!”


About: Privately insured. I’ve always had many different kids of pets and I’m comfortable with large and small breed dogs as well as cats. I have a large three level townhome with a three year old husky mix and some awesome teenage kids to play with if your baby is ready for some fun. I have plenty of space inside, as well as options for kennels. We do twice daily long walks if the weather is good, and plenty of short potty breaks throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and I can give your pets attention, play time and potty breaks as needed. I like sending updates throughout your pets stay so that you have fun pics and videos to see what we’ve been up to every day :) I have a playful, friendly pooch of my own, but he doesn’t need to interact with your pets if anyone is feeling uncomfortable. Cats and dogs are kept separate, and meals and bones are separate as well, with no free access to the kitchen. I have experience with special needs animals and medication management. I have no preference on the size or breed of your babies; we welcome them all here as long as everyone is safe!

“Oh my! Thank you, thank you for taking such great care of my Tidy bear! She went above & beyond, even went back to my home after having a hard time getting into my home. She cleaned up my carpet so good after he had an upset stomach. 5’s across the board ? ????. Your incredible! ???”


About: I have a background in medicine, but am currently attending a light school schedule. I enjoy caring for others, and I find that often extends to their fuzzy companions. I very much understand how important and special each caregiving opportunity is, and I very much enjoy it. Id be honored to help care for your furry friends. I am currently taking nursing classes on a slow schedule due to an arm injury. I am home and available most days. I'm very excited to meet your fuzzy friends. I have cared for pets in both my home, and in the homes. I do find it easier for the animals I care for to be in the familiarity of their own homes, with their own food and toys. However, I'm happy to watch them in my home as well for a time. My home has no children, and no other pets. Our own sweet dog passed on many years ago, and I do find I miss that energy in my home. Helping you care for your pets would be so fun.

About: I have over five years sitting, boarding, and walking dogs in various capacities. From very young puppies and elderly dogs who need that extra patience, to some very big boys who need extra play time; I've done it all. Couple this with extensive fostering and volunteering at shelters and I've worked with some of the best and worse scenarios which has really impacted my understanding for our wonderful friends. Your doggo will receive nothing less than being treated like a member of my family. I love dogs big and small. I have prepared my own documentation so that alongside a "meet and greet," any attention to detail will receive my full attention and understanding. I look forward to meeting you and spending time with your lil buddy. I do offer stays outside of San Marcos but most services are proximal.

About: Welcome to my profile, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Fatma but I like to be addressed by my middle name, Alina. I’ve been around pets my entire life and have raised both dogs and cats from their puppy and kitten stages. As a proud mom to two cats and one dog, I’m experienced in feeding, bathing, walking, and basic training. In addition to being a pet owner, I am an experienced pet sitter for both dogs and cats. Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. I am currently in nursing school and only have 1-2 days a week that require me to be on campus. I love walking especially when I have a companion with me. I can also keep your fur baby company in your home if that is needed. I do not offer services in my home at this time.

“Sharon was fantastic. She took care of our dog while we were away with home visits. Our dog was happy and healthy on our return. Sharon went above and beyond with caring for her. Took care of our dog as her own. Will definitely use Sharon in the future.”


About: I’ve always loved animals! I had a successful dog walking business from middle school-high school, and in May of 2020 I started working at a dog grooming shop. I stayed there for 2 years. I watch family and friends dogs all the time as well! I’m currently going to school and getting my degree, but I have the summer off! So I’m excited to get to know you and your pet! I am patient, respectful, thoughtful, and will follow all rules you have for your pet and me. I will prioritize you and your pets needs.

“Myia has been helping us with our senior dog. Dropping in to give him his medication and let him out potty. They have always been on time and communication has been great. I would recommend them for any of your pet care needs.”
