“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.”

“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!”

“We love and appreciate Heather so much for taking the best care of our fur baby! This was our first time having someone stay at our house while we went out of town and Heather did such an amazing job. She asked lots of questions and was very communicative with us. We will definitely ask her to watch our baby again in the future!”

From the first meet i felt at ease knowing I leaving Luci i great hands. Ana kept me updated and sent me pictures daily. I second all the great reviews she got. I will most definitely book Ana again.”

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.
“Marla was great! This was my first time using rover for House Sitting, She confirmed a schedule and stuck to it! She gave my kitties lots of affection which is the most important thing to me! I would highly recommend Marla if you want a responsible sitter.”

“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!”

“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!”


About: I've owned animals my whole life, both cats and dogs. I love them like my own children. I have some experience with giving medication to dogs I'm typically available all day. I do not work from home due to carpeting and my pets but taking care of them in your space for hours or a few days is absolutely fine, I am flexible and can work with any schedule. 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.
About: I’m reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind throughout your trip. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they get the attention they deserve. I’m also patient with puppies who are still learning routines and gentle with senior dogs who may need extra care, slower walks, or medication reminders. My goal is for both you and your dog to have a stress-free, positive experience from start to finish. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet gets plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and bathroom breaks on time. I don’t believe in just stopping by—I make sure each dog feels comfortable, cared for, and gets quality interaction. I closely supervise pets during walks and playtime, make sure they always have fresh water, and keep doors, gates, and leashes secure to prevent accidents or escapes. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and cared for, while making the experience as worry-free as possible for you.
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
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.
“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! 🐾💕”

“Morgan was fantastic! I had an unexpected cone on my big baby. She was wonderful with him and his special needs. She stayed at my house and is totally trustworthy! Will hire her again 🐈🤓👍😻”
“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!”

“Ashlyn is the BEST!!! She is so compassionate, treats our pets like her own and goes above and beyond to take care of them while we are gone. 10/10 recommend Ashlyn to anyone that considers their pets family. We finally get to go on vacations now that we have the dogsitter of our dreams!”

“Marisol was great!! She provided timely updates and pictures, and she was very respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend and use her as a house sitter again 😊”

“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! 🩵”

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!

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.
