“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! 😊”

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

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.
“Alana is so kind and did a great job caring for our pup over the Christmas week. He came home happy, smelling great, with the cutest bandana and a little Christmas gift. Totally spoiled him! He came home tired from playing with her pups, too. Definitely recommend Alana!”
“Great couple to watch my baby! Sent me many videos of COCO's stay, he took her for walks and gave me tips since my little girl in spoiled BY ME. LOL Will definitely book with Dave and his wife again.”
“Cathy was wonderful from the meet up and throughout the stay. We were out of country and hated leaving our babies but she comforted us with lots of updates and pictures! Our dog and hers loved each other which was great! My old bulldog loved the couch and chair with lots of pillows and blankets. We did not have to worry about them while we were so far away which was great!”
“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!!”
“Juan and his family took such great care of Teddy! They sent me several pictures and videos and he looks like he was having the time of his life. Teddy will definitely stay with them again! I would highly recommend using Juan!”
“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.”
“First time using Rover, we booked with Genesis. She was very accommodating with our Lab, Murphy who is insulin dependent. She sent pictures and kept us updated. Murphy is one happy customer!”
“Megan was the best sitter I’ve had. My dog had so much fun and Megan updated me with photos throughout his stay with her. I liked that Megan did a meet up before my dog stayed with her, it made me feel very confident in my choice to book with her.”
“Mollie took great care of my nervous dog. He stayed with her over the 4th of July and made sure he was not scared during the fireworks. She also went to the store to get him more broccoli (his favorite snack). My dog was able to sleep in bed with her and she sent me videos of him playing with her dog Chance! I was very thankful to see how comfortable my dog was when he stayed with Mollie and Chance and I would absolutely use her services again in the future.”

I can’t say enough good things about my experience! She took amazing care of my dog and treated her like one of her own. I received updates, photos, and had complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such loving and capable hands. My dog came home happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. Thank you for going above and beyond! ☺️
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!!
Morgan was fantastic with our pup while we were away for a week! We were a little nervous leaving him since he can be anxious with new people, but she was patient and clearly took the time to help him feel comfortable. She sent us photos and videos every single day, which meant so much and put our minds completely at ease while we were traveling. It was obvious our little guy was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d book with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about their pup!
Cathy was wonderful from the meet up and throughout the stay. We were out of country and hated leaving our babies but she comforted us with lots of updates and pictures! Our dog and hers loved each other which was great! My old bulldog loved the couch and chair with lots of pillows and blankets. We did not have to worry about them while we were so far away which was great!
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 1,409 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.
