“Melanie was wonderful! We needed help last minute with our sheepadoodle, Jackson. She came over for a meet and greet and sat for us a few days later. We got plenty of updates while we were gone. We will definitely book again!”
“Ana is one of the best sitters we’ve ever had! (And we’ve used Rover for years) She communicated consistently, followed directions, and loved on our girl like she was her own! We will 100% be using her again! Thanks so much Ana!”
“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!”
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.

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
“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!🩵”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and patient pet sitter who truly loves animals. I have experience taking care of pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care at the pet owner’s home. I am available on weekdays and weekends for walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I provide care in the pet owner’s home and follow their instructions carefully. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, supervised, and treated with love and respect at all times.
“Larrielle was absolutely wonderful with Reggie and Kona! Our boys have their quirks — Reggie with his independence and his medicine routine, Kona with his big personality in a little body — and she handled everything without skipping a beat. Multiple days of overnight stays - she is definitely 5 STARS!!! We came home to two happy, well-loved dogs and a house just as we left it -- if not cleaner. We felt completely at ease the whole trip knowing they were in such good hands with constant photo updates. We'd have her back in a heartbeat!”

“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!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, reptiles you name it. I am an animal lover through and through! I am very experienced in behavioral therapy so training puppies or just training in general is a breeze! I am very comfortable with reactive dogs and sensitive kitties as well. Working through triggers and building positive associations through reinforcement is my passion. My schedule is very flexible, I have plenty of time to ensure pets are properly taken care of and most of all happy! I work at an exotic animal vet and assist with caring for a multitude of animals in various health stages. I am happy to follow any instructions given and my biggest concern is that the pets under my care are not only safe, but happy and well cared for in all aspects.

“We would like to share that Ivette house set our house and our two puppy dogs Sadie and Heidi through this past Labor day weekend and did an amazing job, she sent pictures and videos every day and kept us up to date on how they were doing. Her love for animals shows!! Not only did she take very good care of our babies, she took great care of our house. We had no worries of our babies or our house while we were gone. We thank you so very much Ivette for an outstanding job you did taking care of our precious ❤️ ones!! Thank you! Thank you!”

I'm here to accommodate for whatever you need. I am always seeking anyone who would like to give me some more experience with their animals so I can have the best knowledge with any type of care. I'm currently working full time with fluctuating hours whether its morning mid-day or night, however, I am more than willing to help out with pets around my schedule! my daily routine with Keto is easy and laid back and definitely allows me to fit more pet care in around my schedule! I live on the second floor of my apartment, but have easy access to grass and lots of land for dogs to be let outside with my supervision. I also take my dog to a nearby park if that's something you are comfortable with me doing with your pups! I can also offer lots of play time and snuggles too!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Antonio
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!

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 , 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 .
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 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 .
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. 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.
