“Breanna is a top notch dog caregiver. She watched my annoying little dog during my last trip and I experienced zero issues. Would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a responsible and friendly person to care for your pets!!”
“Anna was great, and my dog loved her. Anna sent updates on their daily (short, dog is old) walks and shenanigans. I definitely recommend her and will be back.”
“Morgan was so wonderful with Sophie for the week we were out of town! Great communication - lots of pics and video as well as updates. Our dog has her quirks and Morgan was so understanding and accommodating. She really made our girl feel safe and loved! Will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Wonderful and engaged sitter. Couldn’t have been better. Regular updates. Flexible with time constraints. Very communicative. Takes very good care of our Cindy!”
“We continue to rebook with Ashley because we know our goldendoodle Arnie will be in the best care! She provides several updates with photos throughout the day of a smiling pup!”
About: I have had pets my whole life, and have been petsitting for friends and family for over two decades. I have extensive experience with positive reinforcement training, attending to special needs and medications, special feeding instructions, puppy/kitten and senior pet care, and caring for recent rescues and anxiety issues. Multiple pets welcome! My availability is very flexible to suit whatever your pet's scheduling needs may be. Your pet's sense of enrichment and happiness is so important to me. I will faithfully ensure their regular routines are kept, and that they are fully pampered to the highest standards. Your instructions and your pet's preferences are my prerogative. I'll have attentive eyes on your pet at all times, and will be happy to send photos and videos along to you as desired. I am very respectfully intuitive with pets, following their lead and yours in terms of the type of companionship and care that makes them the most comfortable. I can provide yard breaks, leash walks, games and playtime, baths, crate time, as well as administer most medications. I have experience with elderly and special needs pets as well. Please note that for boarding and doggy daycare services in my home, my apartment doesn't have a yard space. It's a very dog-friendly part of town to explore on as many walks as your pet likes, or simply for bathroom breaks outside if they're not feeling like a journey. Also, my friendly terrier named Frankie is present during doggy daycare and boarding in my home. He loves company! As a gentle soul at heart, he's great at reading whether your dog would like a playmate or prefer some space. He is neutered and current on vaccinations and flea prevention. I have a doggy gate to use as needed for separate feeding, or other needs along those lines.
“Second time Duke has stayed with Jackie and Jorge - we appreciated all the updates while gone on vacation. Thanks again for all you did to ensure Duke was taken care of!”
“Awesome!! Excellent family atmosphere. Paris enjoyed the love as evident from the pictures sent. She also liked the fenced in back yard and doggie play mates. Tia thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby.”
“Danielle was a complete life-saver! My usual sitter had an emergency and had to cancel the night before my trip. Danielle took my dog in for the weekend with less than a days notice. She was very communicative, kind, and patient with my anxious gal. She sent many photos and updates without me having to ask! I always get so nervous to leave my dog with someone she has never met but Danielle was so easy to work with and so trust-worthy. I highly recommend!!”
“First time boarding my boys - Oscar and Tino, so I was a little apprehensive but Sydney was so quick to answer my questions and update me on how they were doing. I would trust her to watch them for me in the future. Great first time boarding with her!!”
“Dawn was great. I’ve left my two boys with her twice now and they’ve come home exhausted and happy. They get excited when we pull into the driveway and I have a peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. She is very accommodating and flexible.”
“My sweet girl Daisy is a paraplegic and requires extra care. Celeste took amazing care of her and made her feel at home. She sent pictures and updates everyday and made me feel comfortable being away from my girl. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their pup!”
“Sundaye was a great sitter! Very easy to work with and sent lots of updates on my pup to keep my mind at ease while I was gone for the weekend! Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Sarah and her family treat our dog like her own. She lets her sleep in her bed with her and her kids play with her and love on her with so much affection and attention! Our dog also enjoys playing with Sarah’s own dog- they are like sisters when they get together! I really think our dog could live there and be perfectly happy! It certainly makes it much easier on us when we leave for our very long vacations!! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sarah!! I’m so thankful for her!”
“Jada is a great sitter. I had to leave town in the last minute and booked the reservation last second. Jada was so sweet about it and understood the situation and helped us so much. Unfortunately we had to extend the stay out of town and again, Jada was super welcoming about changes. She was easy to communicate and always let us know about how our puppies were doing and she always made sure the were safe. She is an exceptional sitter. This is the second time having her and I would go back if I need to! Thank you Jada, for making my days out of town less stressful. You were an awesome sitter and support. I will be forever grateful”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Antonio
Teddy absolutely loves Morgan! She snuggles him on the couch & plays fetch in the backyard… the last time I dropped him off, he was whining in excitement when I pulled up. I’m so thankful to have her as an option when I go out of town. Can’t recommend her enough!
Mac and Mo truly enjoy their stays with Marti and Trixie. Marti alerted me to Mo licking her paws excessively and seemed itchy. I was able to pick up some meds and Mo has quickly settled down. I appreciate Marti paying attention to my dogs as if there were her own. Thanks, Marti! They are enjoying the cooler weather and so am I.
I needed care for Cosmo for a long weekend, and it was really important to me to find someone who was not only comfortable with dogs, but genuinely loved and cared for them. After reading LaTwana’s story and learning that she previously had a dog similar to Cosmo, I immediately felt more at ease. From the beginning, LaTwana was extremely communicative, sweet, and attentive. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell Cosmo felt warm, comfortable, and completely at home with her, and that meant everything to me! I’m so grateful I found LaTwana and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. If you want peace of mind, great communication, and lots of cute photo and video updates, she’s your person! I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. ❤️🐾
It looked as though Thor settled right in and made himself at home! I’m so thankful he was the only one there as he does not like to share space with other animals. After the excitement of returning home he relaxed and was acting normal again very quickly which we are so thankful for. Thanks for all the update pictures to ease our minds!
Rufus is so kind and super sweet! Moose gets along great with his adorable pup, and I love that they get to enjoy nice strolls along the River Walk together. Rufus also sends lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciate. I always feel comfortable knowing Moose is in such good hands with him. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ciria was AMAZING. My only issue is that she doesn’t live where I live! Came here for a TDY and decided to board my dog last minute. She truly went above and beyond. She accommodated so much for us, was VERY attentive, and sent so many updates. I don’t leave reviews often, but I had to. Thank you for loving on Poppy!!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in San Antonio can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their San Antonio home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your San Antonio.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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
- 96% 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.
You and your San Antonio sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
