About: Hi! I’ve been caring for small dogs (under 40 lbs) for years—originally for friends and family, and more recently for clients through Rover. I also had the honor of caring for my own senior dog during the final stage of his life, an experience that deepened my understanding of the needs of aging pets and taught me the value of patience, empathy, and attentive care. I currently share my home with my energetic senior English Springer Spaniel/Blue Heeler mix—equal parts cuddlebug and goofball. Living with a disability has never limited my ability to provide a full, enriching life for her or for the dogs I care for. I’ve developed safe, effective strategies for training and daily care that prioritize the comfort and happiness of each pup. I offer in-home visits only, allowing your dog to stay in their familiar environment and routine—ideal for pets who thrive on stability. My flexible, open schedule means I’m available when you need me: weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m experienced with administering medications (including pills and eye drops) and love keeping dogs engaged with enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, sniff walks, and tug-of-war. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are always my top priorities! I currently don't work so I have a very flexible schedule to come to your home and feed, walk and play with your fur babies My open schedule will ensure that your dog gets properly exercised. I can do separate walks for multiple dog households. Crating can also be done.
About: I’ve been a dog and cat lover since I was a young girl. Last year, my beloved toy poodle, Jesse, passed away after a long and fulfilling 16-year life. I hold a special place in my heart for senior pets, and I’m committed to providing all pets with the love and care they deserve. I work from home currently & usually have blocks of 2 - 3 hours of free time throughout my day. & open availability on weekends. I currently don’t have any pets at home. My home has a small fenced-in yard area at the back, and there’s also a great block of neighborhood to walk around.
“Kacey provided phenomenal care for my dog! My dog (Khaleesi) is nervous with new people and Kacey went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and provided excellent updates. I will absolutely be rebooking!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 4 years and currently work as a kennel supervisor, where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities every day. I’m experienced with feeding, medication, playtime, cleaning, exercise, and keeping dogs safe and comfortable throughout their day. What really sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn’t just a side job for me, it’s something I genuinely love. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care and attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always want them to feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away I work as a kennel supervisor and have a consistent schedule, which allows me to plan pet care reliably. I’m used to working with dogs every day and can provide attentive, dependable care before or after work and on my days off. I’m flexible and will always make sure your pet gets the time, exercise, attention, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With 4 years of professional dog-care experience as a kennel supervisor, I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. I follow feeding and care instructions carefully, keep a close eye on pets, and make sure their environment stays clean and safe. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own dogs.

About: My first word was Dog. Really. I've been an animal lover my whole life, bringing home wounded pigeons and stay dogs anytime the opportunity presented itself. I have volunteered in animal shelters and foster based rescues, managed a doggie daycare and have a certificate in the Human-Animal Connection while obtaining my MSW. I have had two CGC working therapy dogs and dabbled in flyball for a heartbeat. Now as a professional photographer who loves being my own boss, I'm excited to offer my experience to help eas your mind while you're away from your pets. Working from home and being a small business owner my schedule is flexible and revolves around my kids. I am often free during mornings, afternoons and evenings for visits as well as weekend care. I very much believe in a partnership with pets. These little furry (or hairless) beings have their own likes and dislikes just like us! My hope is to always respect that as well as the home you've created for your family.

“I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Anissa! She took care of my two Great Danes, Staffordshire Terrier, and two cats for an entire week, checking on them three times a day. With five pets—and three big dogs—that’s a lot to take on, and she handled everything amazingly. From the very beginning, Anissa made me feel completely comfortable leaving my babies in her care. She sent me pictures at every single visit, and being able to see their happy faces and know they were being loved and well cared for gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She cleaned the litter boxes and backyard every day and even went above and beyond by vacuuming daily—which was definitely not something I expected her to do! Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pets AND a clean house was such a wonderful feeling. What meant the most to me was knowing that Anissa wasn’t just stopping by to check things off a list. I could tell she genuinely cared about my animals and treated them like they were her own. When you have five fur babies, finding someone you truly trust with them is priceless. I will absolutely be using Anissa again and, as long as she’s available, she will be the person I call whenever I need someone to care for my pets. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her. Thank you, Anissa, for taking such amazing care of my crew! ❤️🐾”

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.
“Sam has quickly become our go-to pet sitter. He is incredibly communicative, attentive to our animals’ needs, and genuinely caring - not only toward our pets but also when it comes to our peace of mind. We always feel confident and at ease knowing our animals are in Sam’s care.”

About: I'm an absolute lover of animals! I have had plenty of experience with taking care of dogs from newborn puppies to seniors. I'll make sure your baby is treated how you would want them to be treated! Any special requests? (Medicine, etc.) Just let me know! I'll be available to send you photos/updates for overnight stays or even if we are on a walk. I am usually flexible and can work with your schedule! 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.
“Denisse provides great care for our dogs. She communicates and is very respectful. Our two dogs are always smiling and having a great time in all the photos she sends.”

About: I love all animals. I grew up on a farm in Poland, I have experience taking care of various farm animals as well as house babies. I care for every animal as if they are my own. I live in downtown San Antonio and work from home, so I can give dogs and cats plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and trips to the park, and spending time playing with cats or keeping them company at home. I travel occasionally, which is why I haven’t adopted a pet of my own, but I only accept bookings when I’m home and fully available to care for them. I work from home in downtown San Antonio, so pets staying with me get plenty of attention and regular care. I follow each pet’s usual feeding, exercise, and rest routines, and I’m happy to take dogs to a nearby park for a leashed walk. For cats, I provide playtime, enrichment, litter box care, and plenty of affection according to their preferences. In a client’s home, I follow their care instructions closely and respect their space. I keep pets secure, watch for changes in their behavior, and send updates so you know how they’re doing.

“Alison was the best! She was very communicative and ensured she understood each of my three basset hounds’ quirks, including one with special needs. She was very enthusiastic about caring for them and included pictures of her stay (which really warms my heart when I am missing them). I would definitely ask for her again and certainly recommend her to a friend.”

About: I have always taken care of friends’ pets (mostly dogs) since college. At most, there have been 3 dogs in my care but have the capacity to have more of needed. Cats are welcomed. 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.
“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!”

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 love taking them on walks or just laying around the house together! Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! 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! I live in an apartment but have a schedule which allows for regular playtime and potty breaks! If I stay at your house you also may see some clean counters and organized fridge (bit of a tidy upper :))

“Crimzen treats my dogs with kindness and respect. She is punctual, communicates well, and provides updates on how the girls are doing during their time the her. So far, so good!”

“Was so patient with my anxious pup. She was able to gain her trust and successfully walk her. So communicative and a pleasure to speak to. I will be booking anytime I’m out of town and she’s available. She sent lots of pics and a sweet message when my dog finally allowed her to slip on the leash! 100/10 🤩🤩🤩”

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!

Angelica goes above and beyond to care for my animals (cat and dog). They absolutely adore her and I have complete faith in her for caring for my pets. I love being able to take trips and not have any worries about the care my pets are getting since I know they’re in great hands!
