“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!”
“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!”
“I was so worried about leaving my dog and cat but, I worried for nothing. Brian was an excellent dog sitter. My babies were happy when I got home but they seemed very happy with Brian,also. I would love to have him again in December, when I am going on a family and friends cruise, I could relax and KNOW my babies are well taken care of.”
“Alycia is AMAZING with our Georgia girl 🐶! She is one of the few I can trust with our fur baby. Alycia is reliable, caring, and keeps me updated with photos and messages while I am away. Georgia loves her dates with Alycia! She is happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for the entire time. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Georgia is in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Alycia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Arianna is the best! We had to travel north for a long weekend and Arianna cared for our Rico and Bella. She provided regularly updates and she allowed us to be away without worry. She is a trusted resource that we rely on with confidence. And Rico and Bella think she is the best!”
“Emma took great care of Archie while we were away for a long weekend. Her communication and energy were great. I got daily photos of my boy doing what he does best. Emma accommodated me for a last minute booking, which was much appreciated! Thanks Emma!”
“Asja was absolutely incredible taking care of our two cats, Diesel and Nyx, and our English bulldog, Harley, while we were away in Europe. During her stay, Harley developed anxiety that caused her to get sick, but Asja’s attentiveness saved the day. She noticed right away that Harley was not feeling well, kept us fully informed with clear communication despite the distance, and handled taking her to the vet seamlessly. She stuck directly to the vet treatment plan and managed giving Harley her new medications without any issue. On top of managing Harley’s health, Asja went completely above and beyond when Harley had a few carpet accidents. She brought her own carpet cleaner and cleaned everything up so thoroughly that when we walked through the door, the house was spotless. It literally looked like no one had even been there. Being all the way in Europe could have been stressful, but we had zero stress about our animals because of how wonderful Asja was. If you need a sitter who is observant, reliable, communicative, and will care for your pets like her own, book Asja. We could not have asked for better care and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Ashley is truly amazing with Ares! She not only arrives on time, but immediately jumps into caring for him — taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first in the morning, play time, and keeps up with his scheduled routine. She also sends me multiple videos and photos throughout the day with important updates. We absolutely love having her watch our puppy!🩵”
“Katelyn has been great with Ares, especially as she’s still getting to know him. She does a wonderful job keeping me informed on his behavior and is very communicative while navigating the challenges that come with the puppy stage. I truly appreciate her effort, patience, and willingness to work with him. Thank you for everything, Katelyn! 🩵”
“Jasmine was honestly such a blessing… I didn’t have to worry about my dogs at all and they were absolutely loved as if they were her own. I got constant updates and I felt very comfortable that I didn’t have to worry. She was super reliable and a pleasure I would definitely book again.”
“First time using my sitter and I was extremely happy how Larrielle took care of my fur babies. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone that wants their babies well taken care. She sent me messages and photos various times during the day. I will definitely use her as my sitter for now on.”
“What an awesome sitter. Zeus and Holly adored her and usually when we are gone, she won’t eat. But with Makayla she was eating and being herself. We received pictures and updates, house was perfect. Will definitely be using her again and again and highly recommend her!! Thank you!!”

“Laura did a great job with my pets. She sent me pictures and updates on how they were doing, this gave me peace of mind and the ability to enjoy my vacation. This was the first time they were taken care of someone they didn’t know but they all trusted her and it was life as usual for them. Will definitely try to book Laura when I plan my next vacation.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl. Whether it was the neighbor’s Pomeranian, my dads cat, our my friend’s Airedale Terrior, I have had the fortunate pleasure of being entrusted in the care of people’s furry loved ones for years. I am experienced in walking and feeding dogs of various age and sizes (including breeds considered aggressive), feeding, cleaning litter boxes for cats, as well administering medicine. I personally love being able to load up the canine(s) in my care into my car for a trip to Starbucks in pursuit of a pup-cup or a trip to the park. Whether it be dogs or cats, I pride myself on loving any furry friend in my care as well as sharing photos and videos so you know your loved one is in good hands. I am experienced in taking care of households with one four-legged friend or households with several. I also volunteered for 3 years at an exotic animal sanctuary, having worked around tigers, bears, and wolves (though I sincerely hope no one has a tiger at home 😂) I work from home full-time with the occasional need to go into the office for a few hours. My schedule is flexible and I can block out my calendar accordingly to meet pet care needs. My weekends are free and open for pet care. I will personally meet with you before you require pet services and adhere to any safety measures you require in your home. I will happily provide text updates and photos so you can see your pet is happy and healthy.
“Bryanna is fantastic! We’ve never felt so relieved in knowing that we have a person we can fully trust and rely on with our pups. We have a senior dog and a puppy. That combo can be a bit overwhelming, but Bryanna was able to handle them effortlessly. We know we will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“This was our first experience with Rover for our 8 month old puppy! Alyssa was available at late notice and did a wonderful job. She fed her and walked her for us and we were thrilled to come home to a very happy doggo 🥰 Thank you Alyssa, we hope to see you again soon!”
“Aleisha was great with my dog! He requires daily medication that she had no problem with and treated him how she’d treat her own pets. Very professional and kept me updated throughout my time away from home. Thank you😊”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,489 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.
