“Tahrena was absolutely wonderful with Blaze! She welcomed him into her home on short notice so my family could take an unexpected mini vacation over the holiday weekend, and we couldn't be more grateful. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in a safe, loving environment. Blaze had an amazing time and was clearly showered with attention, affection, and excellent care while we were away. Tahrena treated him like one of her own, and it was obvious that he was happy and comfortable throughout his stay. We truly appreciated the updates and the love she showed him. I would absolutely trust Tahrena to care for Blaze again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring pet sitter!”

She has the perfect setting for any dog to thrive in and you can tell she truely has a passion for what she does. During their stay she gave me many updates with pictures to put my mind at ease. I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for boarding or day care to not hesitate using Alicia and the services she offers. I’m looking forward to bringing my dogs back! Five stars!”
“This was my first time using Rover for my pups and I couldn’t be happier with finding Larissa to care for them. I was gone for a week and she sent daily updates and photos and gave me the peace of mind I needed.

“Anna is a gem!! She was very responsive and I was so thankful she accepted my last minute request. From the moment we walked in the door, she was very welcoming and let our dog, Watson, explore at his own pace. When they introduced their dog to him after I left, they got along so well. It was a perfect fit! Anna also provided plenty of updates, pictures, and videos throughout his stay. We will absolutely be using her again. If you have a small dog, I highly recommend her!”
“What an amazing experience we had with Kat!! This was the first time for our golden doodle on boarding for 5 days. We received pictures and videos from the minute we dropped her off. Kat and Doug were wonderful with Mika!! They are very professional and responsive to my pup needs and her personality. Not to mention their doodle Alfred... best host ever!!! Definitely, exceeded our expectations!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Antonio
I don’t think I’d have enough positive things to say about Zoe. This is the first time I’ve used Rover and first time leaving my butterball (Louie) with someone. We did a meet and greet prior and it went well. Louie stood with Zoe for approximately five nights and he loved her. She kept constant communication letting me know how he was doing and sent photos to me regularly. She’s super kind super sweet and it made my vacation go so smoothly knowing Louie was being well taken care of. Dropping him off initially he was happy to be in her home and she was very welcoming to us both and I can’t thank her enough for how great she was to him. If I ever have to go on vacation again and can’t take him, I’m, without a doubt, coming to Zoe first!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in San Antonio can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their San Antonio home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your San Antonio.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Antonio. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your San Antonio sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
