About: I have only known life with a pet by my side. I have pet sat and walked throughout my life, from kittens and puppies to senior pets that need a bit more care. I am experienced with injections and other medications as well. I am a part-time student which still leaves time to be there for you fur-babies! I have open availability five days out of the week not including Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Growing up I came to understand that pets are another family member, and I carry that same value to this day. The environment will be kept clean, safe, and of course fun for your pet!
About: I’ve grown with dogs my whole life. Nothing more special than making your pet happy. Recently adopted a new pup and learned new training skills.

About: I’m currently a graduate student at Trinity University, and one of the things I miss most is having a dog around! I would love the opportunity to spend some of my free time walking your pup, stopping by for check-ins, or just giving them some extra love and attention while you're away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll always treat yours like my own! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with three Golden Retrievers, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life! One of my most rewarding experiences was volunteering as a puppy raiser for Dogs Inc., where I spent 18 months raising, training, and socializing a puppy who went on to become a working guide dog in Charleston, SC. Through this experience, I gained valuable hands-on experience with puppy training, positive reinforcement, socialization, and establishing consistent routines. I just graduated from UT Austin. I now have lots of free time to walk your pet, check on them or just give them some cuddles. I am a quick learner and very communicative. I am also very active and enjoy taking dogs on walks or playing fetch with them for exercise. I will work closely with you to determine the best way to care for your sweet pet.

I am reliable and trustworthy and have a genuine love for dogs. I know it might be hard to leave your pup for a while but you should feel better knowing they are in great and caring hands. Any questions about scheduling or general questions please feel free to ask me.
About: All of my experience is personal family pets. I’ve had a pet my whole life. I’ve had dogs, a hamster, fish and a bearded dragon! I have dealt within large and small dogs, young and old. I love them all. I treat any dog I come in contact with like they my own. I’ve administered injections and pills to sick pets. So I can help with any task really. I work part time, so this would be my way of keeping busy when I’m not busy. I enjoy helping others and caring for pets. My pets have a nice set up. Kennel for each, with tons of blankets and chew toys. Food and water is always readily available. Most recently, I had a fur baby who was sick. So I would give her daily meds and get checked often. She had a special diet as well.

About: I’ve been the resident dog sitter in my friend group for the last decade. I typically stay in their homes so the animals can stay in their own comfortable environment!

I work from home so if I am sitting at yours, all I need is a WiFi connection and I can be present and attentive!

If I stay at your house you also may see some clean counters and organized fridge (bit of a tidy upper :))
“Alex went above and beyond taking care of our three kitties while we were gone! She is very communicative, sending amazing, detailed updates and many pictures of all of the pets. She even stayed longer than we scheduled to help clean up a mess and calm our cats down. She really takes time with each pet and makes sure they get equal attention. You can tell she really has a heart for animals.”

I’m a gentle soul when it comes to animals. They have feelings just like humans do and want cared. Walking bigger dogs is speciality but I have experience with all size dogs. I am a full time personal trainer & CrossFit coach, so I more flexibility for pet care. I can spend time with them and walk them throughout the dad I care for clients with upmost respect. Chatting with clients on behaviors of the pets is important to me. Helps understand how each pet should be cared for. I want make sure they are comfortable at all times and continue to get the same love that their owners give them. I cannot have pets in my own due my partner allergies. With that being said, clients’ home are sacred and I respect that, so I would not break trust with owners and make their home is the way they left it.

About: I’ve had several dogs in my lifetime ranging from a German Shepherd to a Bulldog to a Chihuahua. Friends have trusted me to dog sit for extended periods of time, as long as a week. I currently work full time, 3-12 hour shifts a week so I am looking to take care of dogs the other 4 days. I am open all day on the days I am off, including weekends. I do live in an apartment so I cannot offer services at my own place, but I can drive to your house to offer assistance there.
“Jayden was great to my “kids”. Gave them extra love and care and played with them and their toys. She even helped out an extra day last minute when we had a change of plans. Was very kind and prompt and caring and professional. I will absolutely ask her again next time I need pet care.”
About: About Me 🐾 Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. Having experience in a 2 dog 2 cat household I know the importance of trust you have to have in your pet's caretaker. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and dogs who need medication, and I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and routines. I know that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and individual needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a potty break, a meal, medication, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages during visits. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and provide the dependable, loving care they deserve! 🐶❤️ I have a flexible schedule with work and dropping in and walking dogs helps to make my day, and make my day go by faster For drop in visits: potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles (upon pet request 😝) Dog walking: a stroll around the neighborhood for potty break, exercise, and mental stimulation with smell breaks along the way

Maddie is literally the BEST! 🐾💕 She is so sweet and caring with our fur babies. She went above and beyond to make sure our doggies were happy and well taken care of. She even got dirty playing with them, which showed us how genuinely engaged and comfortable she is with our pups! 😂🐶 She sent us multiple photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Maddie has such a calm and nurturing personality, and our dogs absolutely love her. She’s also incredibly flexible and willing to work around our schedule, which we really appreciate. We had such a wonderful experience with her and will only be using Maddie from now on! 💕🐾 Thank you so much, Maddie, for taking such amazing care of our babies!
Very communicative! Received lots of photos and videos. Knowledgable of dog breeds and GDV. It was nice knowing she is as observant as I am. I have a food reactive dog and she followed feeding instructions perfectly. It brought me a lot of comfort knowing Anna was looking after them. Will book her again!
Taylor was the absolute sweetest and best caretaker for my Sunnie! She made sure to track every walk with Sunnie, gave a detailed explanation for every trip made, and made sure to send pictures. She took the best care of Sunnie and gave her all the cuddles. Made my trip so stress-free not having to worry about my dog, or message her to make sure everything was going okay because she was doing that without me asking! Need a Rover sitter, book her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in San Antonio is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 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 2,851 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in San Antonio with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
