About: I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering medication, grooming, and providing plenty of playtime and affection. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am available throughout the week and can be flexible with my schedule. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can also arrange overnight stays when needed. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and other pet-care needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I strive to maintain their routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I follow your instructions for feeding, walking, and playtime, and I’m happy to provide updates during my visits. I ensure their space remains clean and safe and always treat your home with respect. Whether it’s giving them extra cuddles, administering medications, or maintaining their daily habits, I focus on keeping your pet happy and well cared for.
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own. I stick to their feeding schedule and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I also love running, so if a dog is up for it, I’ll happily take them on a jog with me. I build my days around the pets I care for. I usually set aside specific blocks for walks, feeding, and playtime so nothing gets missed. It actually helps me stay structured and active throughout the week. I provide all pet care at the client’s home, never at mine. I follow their normal routine, keep their space clean and comfortable, and make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own environment.
“Taylor is responsible for, kind, smart, and wonderful with dogs! We have a Blue Heeler mix who is picky about who he likes and he bonded with her immediately. She took him on the long walks that he needs and also gave him the love he needed to be happy and relaxed when we came home. Our home was left spotless and our dog was happy. What more could we ask for?! We will definitely engage her again without hesitation!”
About: I have always been good at training dogs, I have a 9 year old dog of my own and I love taking him on walks. I am currently in school locally at the SRJC, I am in school at both the Petaluma and Santa Rosa campus. I am a full time student and I also do volunteer work with Forgotten Felines and Forget Me Not Farm. Since I don’t have a job, this makes me the ideal candidate to work with your lovely sidekicks with no distraction! Working with animals is my dream, I want to be a neuro-vet, this is how I can work closely with animals in my current stage. My school hours are between 9AM-4PM M + W, and 9-11 Tues + Thurs, I will be in school during these times and return immediately to assist with your pet(s) afterward! I usually have an hour - hour and a half gap in between classes, if I need to stop by for a few minutes during that period I’m sure we will work it out. I love making sure that animals are comfortable, I will ensure house rules are in place, and I am excellent in dog training. I love to spend time with the animals even when not required.
“Ari, is the greatest! Ari made us very comfortable immediately coming into are home and taking care of Cooper. We were able to get him at the last minute, for Easter. Additionally, he came from the same community that we were living. We are new to Rover and because of his professionalism we will be a future customer!!”
About: I’ve raised 3 puppies into adulthood. I have experience potty training puppies. I’m also good at taking pups to their vet appointment. I am very active so I have a lot of energy to keep up with hyperactivity. Doing Rover Full time now and have a lot of free time so no worries I will have a schedule dedicated to your pet’s needs. I am very patient and observant. I will keep your pet engaged in indoor and outdoor activities! If you provide me with house rules for your pet I will follow them to the best of my ability. I can be in consistent communication with pet owners.
“Olivia has been amazing to work with. Our pup Mia barks a lot and one day with Olivia, she could contain her barking and even taught us how to train her to bark less! She gives regular updates and sends pictures and our super skiddish dog is an absolute snuggle bug around her.”
“She was exactly what we wanted! Hands on w our little guys. She took care of everything and was in constant contact. She sent lots of pictures and it seemed like our dogs missed her when we got home.”
“Kathy was awesome. Scheduling was smooth and easy -- she is a great communicator and has a mellow demeanor. Most importantly, she did an awesome job with my dog. She took great care of her every day that I was gone, and the house was immaculate when I came home. I highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience as a veterinary receptionist, which has given me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and the importance of noticing subtle changes in a pet's condition. I know how to stay calm in stressful situations and understand the value of following medication schedules, special diets, and veterinary instructions accurately. I believe every pet deserves individualized care. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs extra patience and attention, I'll tailor my care to their unique needs and routine. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. Since I work as a veterinary receptionist during the week, I make time during my one-hour lunch break for drop-in visits when needed, while also dedicating my free time outside of work to caring for pets. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and consistent routines. I enjoy making time for pets and providing the attention, patience, and care they deserve while their parents are away. I provide pet sitting in the comfort of your home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I focus on keeping their feeding schedule, exercise, playtime, and daily habits consistent while providing plenty of attention and companionship. With my experience as a veterinary receptionist, I’m comfortable following specific care instructions, recognizing changes in behavior, and giving pets the patience and care they need. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, while giving your pets plenty of love, attention, and companionship\. 🐾❤️

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Antonio
Rosella was my first Rover experience and she was absolutely phenomenal! We have a full house with three dogs (2 big & a little) and a kitty which is a lot of work for anyone. Rosella cared for them with ease, maintained their routine, was transparent and communicative and left my home neat and tidy upon my return. Rosella gave me the peace to be away from home & my critters and know they were in good hands. Will definitely be booking Rosella again!
Mallory was a wonderful and caring sitter for our dog. She was warm and friendly from our first meeting and followed instructions well. Our dog had an upset stomach and vomited while she was sitting, but she was so nice to launder the soiled blanket, and wasn't phased at all. We got text updates while away, which was greatly appreciated. She really likes animals and it shows, and our dog made a new friend! I would definitely recommend Mallory, and I hope to hire her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - San Antonio
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Antonio on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,563 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Antonio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred San Antonio walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in San Antonio maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in San Antonio choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
