About: I have been professionally caring for dogs and cats in-home for about 5 years part-time, but I was raised in a home that routinely took in stray and surrendered animals. I am a lifelong vegetarian and 10-year vegan with a deep love for all creatures. In addition to caring for animal companions, I like to leave homes better than I found them. Whenever possible, I do some light housekeeping so that when folks return from their trips, they come back to happy animals and a cozy home where they can just put their bags down and crawl into a bed! PLEASE NOTE: Any requests (by folks I’ve never worked with before) to book additional time off of the Rover app will be declined. This is a safety issue for both parties — I do not enter strangers’ homes without safeguards and advise against folks needing pet sitting services to allow strangers into their home without safeguards. Rover is a means to provide that safety measure prior to establishing a trusting relationship. My posted rates are firm. I ask that folks not haggle or try to negotiate an initial pet-sit off of the app for a cheaper rate.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for both cats and dogs have always brought me a lot of joy. Growing up I always had cats and dogs in the house at all times. Caring for them through every stage of life has taught me a lot about patience, trust and the eclectic personalities that make pets so wonderful. I love learning about animal behavior and body language so I can help animals feel safe, understood and comfortable. I believe in meeting them where they are and earning their trust at their own pace, no matter the personality type. As a mainly remote working professional, I have the flexibility to provide dependable visits and walks throughout the day. I can easily fit care into my routine while updating parents with photos and messages along the way. I understand inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. As an owner with specific pet routines of my own, I know that each pet has their own preferences and comfort level that I pay close attention to. My goal is to provide dependable care, clear communication and peace of mind so you can be present while you're away knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Karina was amazing with our kittens, Mochi and Gardenia! We were away for a week, and her attention to detail gave us total peace of mind. She followed their routine perfectly, kept everything clean, and made sure they got plenty of love and playtime. We loved getting her daily updates with cute photos and videos — it was clear she truly cares about the cats she looks after. We came home to two happy, relaxed kittens! Karina is caring, reliable, and wonderful to work with. We’ll definitely book her again! 💕”
“Anna was fantastic! Great communication and care. We were worried about leaving our elderly dog, but she quickly set our minds at ease. I will definitely be using her again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Alex and how well he took care of our two cats while we were away for a week. He was so on top of everything, sent detailed updates and photos with every check-in and it was just so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation without worrying if our cats were in good hands. I would HIGHLY recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future!”
“Christopher did a great job with Bella on short notice and I could not have been happier. From the amazing photos he sent of her to making sure she was taking care of and a happy dog really put my mind at ease while I was away.”
About: I have raised my current dog from a pup to senior, and took a dog training course with my previous pup. I also love to hike and this will give me another excuse to get out on the trail more. I work from home on my own business and home-school, so I have a flexible schedule in which I can fit the needs of your pup. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog that would love to play with your dog! I also have a child who is great with animals, so your dog MUST be kid-friendly.
“Cora is a pro- one of my cats usually stuffs herself into a hidden corner for hours whenever a stranger comes in the house, but improbably she warmed up to Cora right away, and got plenty of social time during her visits. Great kitty photographer too! Would recommend her to anybody looking for pet care.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs, cats and many other animals almost my entire thirty years of life. I've had rescue dogs, senior dogs, small dogs and large dogs, cats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and gineau pigs. My friends and family describe me as an "animal whisperer," because animals seem to gravitate towards my gentle nature. I have also worked professionaly as a pet sitter through Fetch and Trusted Housesitters and received positive feedback for my excellent communication and attentive care. Animals are my passion and I have worked in wildlife conservation for the past several years and have experience observing, and handling animals safely and compassionately and am comfortable caring for birds, reptiles, fish and arthropods. I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after, ensuring your animals are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets and homes. I am attentive and committed, and I can provide regular updates, walks, feedings, or playtime as needed. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in their homes, I Follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions carefully, provide companionship and attention, including playtime, walks, and quiet cuddles, monitor pets for any health or behavior changes and communicate updates regularly. I Keep the home clean and organized, including tidying up after pets, taking out trash, and ensuring everything is secure. Respect routines and preferences: whether pets like lots of interaction or prefer quiet space. Provide peace of mind to owners with regular updates and photos, so you know your pets are happy and well cared for.
“Ariel is absolutely wonderful! She is an excellent communicator with an uncommon ability to quickly bond with and reassure my senior dog while expertly managing his complex health / medication situation. She also coordinated with my extended family to help ensure he received the best care while I was away. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something that genuinely brings me so much joy. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and spoiled with plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll give them the same love and patience I would give my own. I’d love the opportunity to become your dog’s favorite sitter and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I currently work a full-time job from 7:30 AM to 4 PM, but most of my evenings are free and weekends perfect if you need a sitter for a weekend getaways or a night out! I live on a 2 acre property and my roommate has a very friendly border collie that gets along with almost anything, I usually watch her if my roommate is out of town!
“Mackenzie could not be lovelier! She was so kind and loving to Bodhi - she is very thorough, has tons of experience and is incredibly professional. It’s so hard to find quality, genuine animal care and she’s the best!! And Bodhi loooooves her.”
“We asked Georgia to make sure our cat got lots of attention and playtime, and she absolutely delivered! She even stayed past her scheduled time to keep him company. We really appreciated how caring and attentive she was.”

Whether you’re traveling, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care tailored to your dog’s unique needs and personality. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from bouncy puppies to chill senior pups.

However, I have five years of experience with pet-sitting and I will always work with you to take care of your pet's needs. I also own two dogs and three cats, each with their own unique personality.

I have three cats, a long-haired tabby, a long-haired calico, and a short-haired black cat. I also have a one-year-old rambunctious cockapoo, and a senior chihuahua that I grew up with. I just moved to Dixon, CA, and I currently live with my tabby, and the rest of my pets stay at my parents' home. If you feel like I could be a good fit for you and your pet, let's set up a meet-and-greet. I’d love to get to know you and your pet, hear all about their routines, and learn how I can help you and your pet. 🐶🐾🐱💕 I have a flexible schedule and I have availability 7 days a week, and I can provide care for your pet during the day and evenings.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Antonio is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,494 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Antonio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Antonio. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
