“She was recommended to us by our previous pet sitter who moved away, and we couldn’t be happier. She was able to accommodate a same-day drop-in when we were in a pinch. She did everything we asked and went above and beyond, and she sent lots of lovely pictures! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Liz once again took exceptional care of our two cats while we were out of town for a week. So nice to be able to relax and not worry while away, glad we found her! Thanks again Liz:)”
About: I have over 2 1/2 years of experience as a trusted pet sitter in my previous community, where I cared for a variety of pets with different needs. What sets me apart is my dedication to providing personalized care and attention to every pet, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets, tailoring my approach to their specific routines and needs. My top priority is always the safety, comfort, and happiness of the pets in my care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule because I work full-time with a flexible, hybrid setup. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, making it easy to provide consistent care throughout the day. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I go into the office only for half days in the mornings, which still leaves me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pets. My job allows me the flexibility to ensure that your pets receive the attention and care they need, without any disruptions. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment that is free from hazards and provides plenty of space for pets to relax and play. I ensure that they are supervised at all times and follow their normal routines to minimize stress. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I maintain the same level of care and attentiveness. I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, ensuring their pets feel comfortable in their own environment. I always prioritize safety by keeping doors securely closed, using proper leashes during walks, and staying aware of their behavior to prevent any potential issues. My goal is to provide a caring and secure experience that helps pets feel safe, happy, and loved.
“Brandi was exceptionally attentive to our pup and our requests for care while we were away for a couple of weeks. She made an instant connection with Buddy and asked lots of questions to be sure she understood what our dog needed and to be best prepared to meet his needs while we were away. Brandi was prompt with her visits and kept us updated with report cards. She even stepped up and provided a last-minute drop in when our flight got delayed on our return. We couldn’t be happier or feel more trusting of Brandi. We look forward to using her again!”
“Stephanie was SO wonderful dropping in to take care of my baby Zeke while I was away! She knew my cat would be hesitant not having me there and worked so hard to get him out from being scared, even bringing her own toy for him! She successfully got him comfortable with her, playing and giving lots of love.😊 Would definitely book again!”
“Gabrielle was the perfect fit for our 2 boys! We had put in a last minute job request when we were out of town and our previous sitter backed out unexpectedly. Gabrielle got back to us about the job request and accepted it in minutes! She was on time to all the visits we booked with her and she sent us pictures and updates during/after the visits. She gave our dogs lots of lovings and even our cat that was not part of the job! We will be returning customers and can’t recommend her enough ☺️”
“Nicole was amazing! She took amazing care of our girls while we were out of town. She even went above and beyond and took our trash out! She was very communicative and sent us plenty of updates and pictures. We 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“I had a last minute work trip and was very hesitant as a 1st time Rover user. Especially, since I have a kitten and a senior cat with different personalities and needs. Angel was absolutely the best and kept excellent communication with me. Both cats were well taken care of, she was able to get pics of my shy senior under my bed and alerted me when 1 of my water foundations stop working. Incredibly thankful to have found her on Rover.”
“Cydnee was such a major help to me when I needed a last second drop in! She was super helpful and took great care of both my boys. She was very detailed and made sure she took care of everything I requested. Super grateful for her!”
About: I've had dogs since I was a kid and currently have two beautiful doggies, tiger and Hazel and they are super friendly! We have a 5 acre fenced property with a pool so they will enjoy their stay with us! My hubby says I cannot have any more dogs so I am now offering to sit and walk other friendly dogs. My two dogs love having friends and play dates at our house! Daily I wake up at 6am and let them out and feed them and let them hang out until I leave for work around 9:30am and when our teenagers get home around 2pm they get let out again and hangout until I get off at 6 or 7pm. They get fed again and have playtime and then bedtime is around 9pm. My doggies do great on that schedule and they are very active and love to hangout with us on the pool deck area. I have three kids, Karin is 21, Natalie is 18 and Gus is 16 and they all love animals! We also have chickens and goats and we all take care of them as a family. I care for my pets inside of our home, we also have a huge kennel we built that has a built in water spout and a fan. The kennel has a roof and is shaded year round. We also let them inside and on the screened in pool deck. They have crates also which I will use from time to time but for the most part I let them free roam in the kitchen or living room and use a doggie gate to section them off so they dont get into anything. They usually just follow me around and watch me cook dinner. :)
“Madlen is great! Highly recommend! She is knowledgeable on care for dogs and is very accommodating to any request needed. Oakley immediately felt comfortable with her which left me at peace. I will definitely be using Madlen frequently for my dog sitting/walking needs.”
“Alex did a great job taking care of my two kitties while I was out of town! I’m so glad I found her and will definitely use her again. Communication was great and I was able to have peace of mind knowing my babies were ok at home.”
About: I have cared for pups big and small, young (8 weeks) and old (13 years), rambunctious and chill! I love them all, and so far - they all love me too! I am also a photographer, so what better than receiving stunning photos of your babies while you are away! Self proclaimed belly rub expert. With two school aged children - week days between 9:30am-3pm are the best for my schedule at the moment. Available most weekends! I like to spend a fair amount of time with my clients because I believe social interaction and comfort is so important! It doesn't hurt to reach out, I am always willing to be flexible with my schedule. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, so creating a safe and comforting environment comes naturally to me. I make sure my furry friends always have fresh food and water, clean spaces, and plenty of attention while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. Some pets love immediate cuddles, while others need time to feel comfortable, and I’m happy to meet them where they are!!
“Sky awesome! She’s so great with our pup — gives her attention and cuddles, and thoroughly communicates throughout her visit. Our puppy baby is lucky to have her as a friend!”
About: Hi, I have a cat who I love dearly and am looking to take care of others. I have tons of experience growing up with animals, dogs and cats. I am a college student with a far good amount of free time. Looking to walk or feed animals in my free time for spare money. If I plan on walking dogs, I will arrive on schedule and handle them with care. For cats the same goes as well, providing my undivided attention to them.
About: I am an all animal lover who pays attention to the happiness and well being of the dogs that I care for. I have 3 dogs of my own as well as a horse. I have previous experience working in a vet clinic as a kennel attendant and currently volunteer at an aquarium caring for animals. I also have experience dog sitting, horse sitting, and house sitting for people who have become regular clients of mine. I am able to adapt to the needs of your dogs, offering to run with your dog to excercise them or to take them on a leisure walk for their enjoyment and pleasure. I am also able to take your fur-babies to the dog park to socialize if that is something you desire. I have time slots available 7 days a week and am flexible. I look forward to serving you and your dogs!
“Camila has went beyond my expectations. She was so thorough with communication that I felt as if I never left my dogs. I will definitely be requesting her anytime my dogs to be cared for. PLEASE if anyone is looking for someone to care for your fur baby, Camila is the perfect fit ! She’s worth every dime ✨”

Kristi is always so good to my baby Cheddar! She always allows her to warm up to her first before she forces her to do anything. Kristi always keeps me updated of how she is doing or if she has any problems. I appreciate her and her updates on my girl. She even did my dishes from my sink this time! Thank you so much Kristi.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Antonio is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. 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 4,463 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Antonio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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
- 96% 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.
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.
