About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have been a proud dog owner for the past six years with my own pup, Gemma. Caring for dogs has always been a part of my daily life, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a full-time Crime Scene Investigator, I’m responsible, dependable, and detail-oriented; qualities that are just as important when caring for someone’s beloved pet. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, going on walks, providing playtime, or simply giving extra love and attention, I’ll care for your pet the way I care for my own. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I make communication a priority. You can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! My schedule can vary so if there is a date you need that shows unavailable on my calendar please reach out as I may be able to accommodate you! As a full-time Crime Scene Investigator, my schedule varies, which allows me flexibility throughout the month for pet care. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks on my days off and around my work schedule. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and will always communicate clearly about my availability. When I’m caring for your pet, they will receive my full attention, plenty of love, and reliable care. My schedule can vary with my full time employment so if there is a date that shows unavailable that you need please reach out to me as I may be able to accommodate you! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable in their own environment. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“I feel so lucky to have found Abigail! She is so sweet and clearly an animal lover. She's very professional. She came to the house before my trip to meet the pets and see what she'll need to do while I'm gone. Every day she let me know how the pets are doing as well as any updates for the house. My cats are extremely shy and Abigail spent extra time sitting quiet near them and very slowly earning their trust to the point they ended up coming to her for pets and treats by the time my trip was over. I hope to be able to book Abigail for all my future trips!”
“Patrick watched our dog while we were out of town for a few days. He was wonderful! Perfect communication, always on time, and went above and beyond! He was gentle and kind with our dog and took special care when our dog was scared during thunderstorms. We will definitely be using Patrick's services again!”
About: With years of experience as a former veterinary technician, I specialize in caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens, as well as senior pets. Now, I run a family-owned pet sitting business, providing expert care across multiple breeds. The daily or weekly routine includes feeding and watering, walks and playtime, and administering medication if necessary, while also handling other duties like cleaning the litter box and providing general companionship. The goal is to maintain consistency for the pet's health and reduce stress. I prioritize establishing and maintaining the pet's routine, which includes feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I ensure the pet's safety by understanding their behaviors, securing the home to prevent escapes, and having all necessary supplies ready. Throughout the stay, I provide plenty of affection and engagement while communicating regularly with the client.

I will not be doing home stays at my house due to my pets and respecting my roommates space. I always keep the space I am sitting in clean and free of non pet friendly items. Safety and comfort for furry friends is the most important.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Antonio
Kristi is always so good to my baby Cheddar! She always allows her to warm up to her first before she forces her to do anything. Kristi always keeps me updated of how she is doing or if she has any problems. I appreciate her and her updates on my girl. She even did my dishes from my sink this time! Thank you so much Kristi.
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Our dogs were comfortable, happy, and well loved while we were away. Kathryn was dependable and made the whole experience stress-free for us. We’re so thankful for the flexibility she granted us and we would gladly book again!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in San Antonio is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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.

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.
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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
