“Breanna and her husband did a wonderful job sitting for our Dax for the second time! They both were so communicative and sent lots of pictures! Dax got plenty of playtime while with Breanna!”
“Max has been by far the best sitter we have ever had! I'm sure if Joey had the option he would ask to stay longer each visit. Thanks a mill Max for taking care of our boy like he is your own!”
“Divya was absolutely amazing with my dog, Brodie. She kept me updated the entire time with detailed messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She reassured me before my flight not to worry and truly paid close attention to him, updating me on his behavior and how he was settling in. What stood out most was how intuitive and patient she was. She understood his personality right away, gave him space when needed, and handled everything calmly and confidently. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I felt completely comfortable having Brodie in her care. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“My Frenchie used to stay in a boarding kennel when I traveled for work but then I found Stephanie on Rover and I’m so glad I did. She and her husband take great care of Ammo and send me pics while I’m gone.”
“Dave did an amazing job!!!:) I appreciated all the updates of how my dog was doing. He is usually a very nervous dog and he seem to thrive at Dave's. Dave was very accommodating in everything and made leaving my dog for a week easy!!! I appreciated his willingness to meet before hand to introduce my dog to him and his home. We had a wonderful experience and are very thankful for his excellent service!:)”
“Anna was a wonderful sitter! ❤️ I had her board my cat for a week and she did a fantastic job. She is very intuitive when taking care of cats and has a sweet and friendly cat of her own that I could tell she took good care of. I was nervous leaving my cat with someone else for the first time but she helped me feel very comfortable and always sent updates on how my cat was doing. I highly recommend her services! 😊”
“El cuidado de nuestro perrito fue excelente con ella, nos estuvo comunicando a través de mensajes y fotos cómo estaba y que hacía nuestro perrito. Sin duda volvería a repetir con ella.”
About: I've been a lifelong dog owner and have cared for dogs most of my life. I've frequently dog-sat for friends and family over the years, including feeding, walking, administering medications when needed and providing lots of attention and playtime. I work from home full-time, so your dog will receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. My partner is retired and also home most of the time, so there is almost always someone here with the pets. Because of this, dogs are rarely left alone and get lots of care, playtime, and comfort during their stay. Dogs under 40 lbs. please. We provide a calm, safe, and welcoming environment and follow each dog’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. Our home has a fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy time outside. We also have a friendly 5-year-old dog who is low-energy and well socialized. She enjoys the company of other dogs but is also respectful of dogs who prefer their own space. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to us. We introduce dogs slowly, supervise interactions, and treat every dog in our home like part of the family. We are also happy to send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“I can’t say enough great things about Perla! She has watched my dog several times now, and every experience has been fantastic. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my puppers is in such caring, capable hands. She’s incredibly reliable and always keeps me updated with messages and photos, which means the world to me when I’m away. My dog absolutely loves her and as soon as I get her leash and head for the car she knows where she’s going, and that says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring with their pets.”
“Wonderful service. This was our first experience and it was very smooth and easy. Dusty had a great time and made new friends. We couldn't ask for more - Lisa and her family were great. We'll definitely use them again.”
“Jaz wasso happy hehad such a great time we will be using genesis services again we were so scared he would mis behave since he never been away from my daughter for so l9ng but we sure were pleaseed with her services thanks again”
“Jordan was very reliable with sending updates on Daisy who really had a good time with Jordan. We received photos and updates on a daily basis. We did not worry at all !”
“This is the second time Bodie has stayed with Karen. She is very attentive to all his needs, including daily walks and playtime. She communicates frequently with us to let us know how he is doing. We will definitely book with her again.”
“I don’t feel bad leaving Max in Megan’s care because I can tell how well cared for he is. He’s always excited to get off the car when we get to her place. Highly recommend Megan to take care of anybody’s fur-babies.”
“Morgan took care of our cat for 2 weeks and did a great job! She was very responsive before and during his stay and sent plenty of photos and videos. He had daily meds and some health issues, and I felt very comfortable with Morgan’s ability to handle those. I’d definitely have Morgan watch him again!”
“Our little boy Miles had a great time during his stay with Jackie and Jorge, he got plenty of love and activity, we will definitely book again, thank you !”
“We were thrilled to find a secure yard and other dogs for our pooch to have fun with but apparently she was snitchy with the other pooches at Marti's. We are very grateful that Marti found a way to work around this so that it did not become a problem for us whilst we were away. ”

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!
I highly recommend Sierra to watch your pets, she was very passionate about watching my border collie and would send me daily updates of her playing with my dog. She was very kind and professional; this allowed me to enjoy my vacation and trust that my dog was in the best care. I will definitely be using her again in the near future!
Marti was fantastic with Mac and Mo, two tightly bonded Scottish Terriers. I could not have been more pleased. Her updates were wonderful. The pictures showed them adjusting well to a new environment and another dog. I vary much appreciated her kindness with my little friends.
Morgan is amazing! This was our second time booking with her and would highly recommend for anyone needing a sitter for their furbaby! She is very flexible with pick up/drop off time and communicates openly during the visit. Always feel comfortable leaving our little guy in her hands while we are away!
Anna has been great with our older fur baby. She recently kept her for an extended time and sent us videos and pics on a regular basis. She was also very responsive when coordinating drop off / pick up details. She seems to genuinely love animals and ensures that they have their own space for rest periods as well.
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!!
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!!
If I could give more than five stars, I would. Ben took exceptional care of Morrison and made being away from my dog completely stress-free. The communication was outstanding, with frequent updates and photos that showed just how happy and comfortable Morrison was. It’s obvious that Ben has a lot of experience with dogs and truly enjoys what he does. Morrison came home happy, healthy, and maybe even a little disappointed to leave! Thank you for going above and beyond.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in San Antonio on Rover is $35.52 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,416 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across San Antonio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of San Antonio sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which San Antonio landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
