“I'm totally speechless. Where do I even begin?! Wowwww🤩 I can confidently say you will have a very very hard time finding anyone as good at caring for your pup and your home than Jaedyn. She is so attentive, consistent and cares for your pup just like you would maybe even more. She ensures your dog and your house are clean! Your baby will have fun and be cared for 100% of the time. She keeps you updated with how they're doing, what they're doing, and sends you beautiful pics that are true masterpieces you will want to hang on your walls. I couldn't recommend her more. She truly lives for this and is extremely loving and experienced. Go see yourself! I've never been more comfortable having a stranger in my home let alone leaving my baby with someone I don’t know. She cares about you and your pet and is so considerate! My only regret is not finding her sooner🥹 SHE IS AMAZING!!!! 🥰🫶🏼🐾 5 stars for a rating feels like I’m insulting her! She deserves at least a 100 star rating💕 Thank you Jaedyn, you are forever my go to girl anytime I need a sitter!”
“As newcomers to the area, we were nervous about leaving our dogs with someone we didn’t know. Ashley put our minds at ease by sending regular updates and photos so we knew they were in great hands. When a few severe thunderstorms stressed one of our dogs, she reached out right away, asked all the right questions about how we normally would handle it and made sure our pup was as comfortable as possible. We appreciated her thoughtful communication and care she gave our dogs!”
“Marla did an excellent job taking care of our dog Maggie last week. Communication was excellent and she sent pictures daily. House was just as we left it when we returned.....highly recommend!!!”
“Melanie was fantastic with our Australian shepherd. She provided many updates throughout her stay, making us feel reassured he was in good hands. She followed our instructions and gave him lots of love. Will definitely have her sit him again!”
About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant as well as a kennel technician and worked at the local pet store I have open availability currently as I only work on the weekends. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other clients through word of mouth/rover. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers
“We feel like we scored the Rover jackpot with Jessica! Our dog, Piper, was in the best hands while we were gone making it easy to enjoy our vacation. Jess was on time, followed instructions, kept us updated, and gave our dog all the love and attention. Definitely will book her again!”
About: Fun loving dog mama experienced with puppy to senior dogs. Current fur babies include American Bulldog/boxer senior dog and Siberian Husky 3 year old pup. Looking forward to spoiling your fur babies!! I am available anytime day or night for walks or cuddles or to pet sit while you are away in the comfort of your own home. I’m available to pet sit in your home and will walk and feed your pup daily and follow the same routine they are used to.
“This was the first time we ha Elizabeth watch our pup. Although it was only an overnight stay, our pup seems happy, all directions were followed, and she left the house with everything neat and clean. I would definitely give her a 👍thumbs up!”
“Laura went way above and beyond my expectations! She went on numerous long walks with my dog Jane and I could tell they really connected. Laura is responsible and was super flexible with me as I had to extend my trip a few days. I will be using her again!”
“Kate was amazing! Her introduction a week prior to our needing her was key. She is chill, honest, reliable and so loving! I’m pretty sure our Forty loves her more now! I should also mention she watched our house as well and left it spotless! Mad respect! We will be using Kate again! Thank you so much Kate!”
“Our dogs loved Osvaldo from the moment they met him! He kept the house spotless, sent the best photo updates, and took incredible care of our two pups. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a clean home. We cannot wait to book him again!”
“Brian really went out of his way to make sure our huskies had a fabulous time while he was pet sitting for us. Not only did he offer to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure they would both be comfortable with him staying with them in our home while we went out of town, but he was also very sensitive to and accommodating towards our dogs’ separation anxiety and took extra time with them to make sure they were feeling lots of love and security with us out of the house. He truly is a top notch pet sitter and he also has quite a gift when it comes to photography! The photos he sent us throughout his time watching our pups were studio quality and you can really tell that he has a passion for what he does. Not only did he take wonderful care of our dogs but he also even fed some of the neighborhood birds that usually come visit our backyard throughout the day. His calming demeanor was perfect for our anxious pups and his attention to detail in following all of our instructions both in terms of medication management for the pups and special considerations for the house as a whole were second to none. You can rest assured that if you are looking for a great pet sitter that you need not look any further than Brian!!! You might even find that he goes the extra mile by feeding your neighborhood crows, putting your trash/recycling cans out when he noticed it was collection day, and bringing in packages from outside your front door. Plus he is very neat and tidy which is a huge bonus when he leaves the space looking better than he found it in every room he walks through. Definitely a 5 star rating if I have ever seen one!!!”
“Tonya kindly agreed to do a short stay with my pups as a "test run" for a longer vacation in a few weeks. We came home to happy dogs and feel confident about leaving them in Tonya's care for a longer period of time soon!”
“Alyssa was AMAZING! First of all, she was available on short notice. Secondly, she came over for a meet & greet right away and really took a lot of time with us to make sure we were comfortable and that all our concerns were addressed. She was so friendly and knowledgeable at the same time. Lastly, she LOVES animals. It is so apparent in the way that she interacted with our two dogs. We were away for several days and during that time her communication was great. She sent multiple pictures of our animals eating, sleeping, and just doing all the things that would normally be doing if we were home. It was great that she was able to stay with them in our home so that they would be comfortable. I would 100% recommend her and I would 100% rebook her!”
“Parker was INCREDIBLE! My sitter backed out last minute and Parker stepped in on short notice. So easy to communicate with and truly cared for my dogs as if they were his own. I 100% recommend and plan to ask Parker to watch my dogs in the future.”
“We were in Iceland for over a week and Morgann took great care of all our corgis and the tortoise. They got spoiled and I felt peace of mind when we were half a world away from them. Excited to use her again for future trips.”
About: My experience includes dog walking, overnight pet sitting, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I also have experience for bearded dragons and other reptiles, including feeding, habitat care, and handling routines. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a lizard, I understand how important it is to give pets patience, attention, and proper care. I’m reliable, responsible, and able to carefully follow any instructions to make sure every pet gets the best care possible. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I had just graduated and will have a very open and flexible availability. Since I’ll have extra free time, I’m able to be dependable, responsive, and give pets lots of attention and care throughout the day. I regularly walk and care for my own dog, and spending so much time with him has definitely made me his favorite person in the house.
“Neida took wonderful care of Lucy! She was kind, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that Lucy was well cared for and received lots of attention and affection. I truly appreciated Neida’s professionalism, communication, and the love she showed my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Neida! 🐾💕”

Eden was a great sitter for our long weekend away! Even on a slightly short notice, we felt comfortable leaving our girl in her hands & knew she would be well taken care of. Sad that she was only here for her college break, but would happily use her again if it ever aligned again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - San Antonio
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Antonio on Rover is $55.5 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 2,526 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.
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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
