“Marla is always so attentive to our fur babies. We have directions for allergies and they have no problems. We always feel good when she is at the house to sit for them. Such an asset when we are unable to bring the fur babies with us. She always puts our minds and hearts at ease. THANK YOU!”

“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!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 13, helping my family with our own dog. We also sometimes babysit dogs and cats for friends, so I’ve gained experience with pets of different sizes and personalities. I currently have a 1-year-old dog, so I’m used to feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of attention. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for!! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to spend quality time caring for pets while also balancing school work! I split my time between Rhode Island and Florida — I’m in Florida during the school year for college and back home in Rhode Island for breaks and summers. I always keep my availability up to date, so you’ll know exactly where I am and when. I make sure pets are safe, fed, and happy. I follow any instructions the owner gives, take dogs for walks, provide playtime, and give lots of attention and affection. I also clean up after them, restock water and food, and make sure they feel comfortable whether I’m at their home or caring for them in mine.

About: I have 5 years experience in the animal field professionally. I have learned animal behavior and signs, I have learned patience and understanding, how to build a bond, and so much more. I am currently working 4 days a week. I have three days a week I can fit your pet care needs into schedule. I can also possibly schedule times around my job the other 4 days as I work a swing shift. I have two separate fences on my property and a secured dog room that leads to the year fencing area with AC, dog bed, access in and out, fan, access to water at all times inside with an automatic water bowl outside. I have a friendly, Neutered male Golden Retriever to keep them company if preferred, or there is plenty of space to keep them separate. None smoking and no small children. For your home visits, I would respect your space and rules as well as accommodate all your needs and request a n your home.

Highly recommend using Gerard if you’re looking for someone that’s responsible, considerate and who will take the best care of your fur baby!”

About: I've always loved animals. My books growing up consisted of every dog and cat breed you could think of and I watched All Dog's Go to Heaven to the point I could recite it. I've had dogs and cats my whole life and feel at home caring for them. Growing up you would find me befriending and feeding the strays. I understand the importance of building trust, remaining calm, and providing a soothing and loving environment. I work part-time and mostly set my own hours. If given time I'm advance I can easily accommodate to schedules. Furthermore I lead a fairly active lifestyle and enjoy walking outdoors. First thing I ensure is to not disrupt the pets routine whether its feeding, walking, or any other discipline. I like to be on the same page with the owner to minimize stress and keep their loved pet as calm as possible.

About: I have a genuine passion for animals and hope to become a veterinarian in the future. I currently work with dogs, which has given me hands-on experience understanding their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different ages and energy levels, and I’m always willing to give extra attention to young, senior, or nervous pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for regular visits and can work around your pet’s feeding, playtime, and care needs. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to giving each pet the attention they deserve. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet I care for. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions and routines to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. I keep their space clean, provide fresh food and water, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are safely secured. I’m patient and attentive with every animal and always treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own pets.

About: I grew up with dogs, including boxers, labs and pit bulls. My family and I are huge animal lovers and are ready to spoil your loved one while you are away! They will be treated like family while visiting with us. As long as it is ok'd by the owner, the dog will have free range of my house. I allow them on the furniture, beds, etc. They will have a fenced in yard to run around in and will be taken on as many walks a day that you would like. I stay at home full time, so I can pop in any time to spend time with and walk your baby/babies. I have children, but they will not be present during the visits, meaning your animal will get all my love and attention!! :)

About: I have volunteered with This is the Dog! in Homestead, FL for several years. I also fostered dogs of all sizes in my home. I am comfortable with most furry creatures of any, and all sizes. I have experience with tiny Yorkies to giant English Mastiffs, and cats of all sizes as well! I also have experience with giving injections and oral medications to dogs and cats. I am new to the Wesley Chapel area. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, look no further! I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have! I look forward to hearing from you soon and have a fantastic day! I'm available anytime Thursday-Sunday (as shown on my calendar). I can do early mornings or late evenings. I am a full time nurse with a set schedule, so I’m available on my days off. I can do whatever makes you feel safe! All walks would be leashed if not in your private, fenced, back yard. I have no problem crating or letting them roam free! Whatever your pet is accustomed to is what I do.

“Tonya took care of our house and our two dogs for 10 days. She was super responsive and attentive, making sure we aware when several unexpected issues arose. Our dogs adore her, and they received much better attention and care than boarding. We came home from vacation to happy, unstressed pups and we were able to vacation without anxiety about their care. Highly recommended!”

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 of House Sitting in San Antonio is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $83 per night. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 2,487 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
