About: Growing up around dogs gave me a lifelong love and appreciation for animals of all kinds. I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll treat your furry family member as if they were my own. I currently work full time (with 2 WFH days) but outside of my regular work hours, I'm fully available during evenings and weekends to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
“This was our first time using Rover or even doing drop in visit. Ninfa was amazing! Her communication was impeccable, she took pictures and notified me the entire time. She took us at the last minute and will definitely be our go to in the future! Thank you Ninfa!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since middle school. My dogs, my family's dogs, and my friend's dogs. Large or small, young or senior, I’ve worked with them all. In my professional life, I’ve spent over 10 years delivering great experiences for customers, and I bring that same level of care and attention to both your pet and your overall experience. I’m a stay-at-home father who also works app-based contract jobs, which gives me flexibility throughout the day. I’m available from morning through night based on your pet’s needs. I also have a dog at home who regularly joins my child and me on walks around the neighborhood or at a local park. I have experience caring for pets both indoors and outdoors, and I adjust my care based on each dog’s environment and personality. Whether your pet prefers relaxing at home or staying active on walks and outings, I make sure they are safe, engaged, and well cared for. I take the time to understand their needs so they feel comfortable and happy.
About: Hi! I'm Victoria! I've had dogs since I was about 15 and I'm proud to say that I’ve raised two puppies and loved many shelter dogs as well! I have many years of experience in caring for animals, as well as training dogs. I am also a foster for the city of San Antonio (ACS) as well as a foster for SRT and SRH (Schnauzer Rescue of Texas and Schnauzer Rescue of Houston) I love dogs, so please rest assured that your fur baby will be in great hands if you decide to book with me! I have experience in caring for animals with special needs, including medication administration and basic first aid! I'm currently working from home and I study from home as well, so my availability is pretty open! I rarely will be unavailable, because I’m able to adjust my schedule I live in a house with a fenced in yard, I'm able to throw ball outside if I ever have any dogs outside and they have plenty of room to run around and play, but I am also happy to sit in your home or walk your dog in your neighborhood! I am also okay with taking them to a park nearby if that's what you prefer!
About: I truly love dogs and have grown up around them my whole life! Caring for animals is important to me and dogs have a certain ability to make me happy. I love long walks, playing with dog toys, and ensuring they get enough pets! Taking care of your animal takes care of me because it’s truly something that brings me joy! I will walk or take car of pets whenever I am able too. I have a full time job but do this in my free time and make a priority to take care of as many animals as possible! I care for my pets at home by ensuring they always have food and water, a clean litter box, lots of pets and I play with them. Treats too! Lots of treats lol! Both my animals have different personalities so one of them sleeps next to my head ( a must ) so I set up the pillows for her. My other one screams at my while I shower lol. My life is animals and I wouldn’t want it any other way!
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.
“Bailey is super communicative and reliable! She sends pictures and is completely trustworthy & I will hire her again and again! I highly recommend her!”
“We had a great experience with Anna dropping in to take care of our dogs. Excellent communication. She even stopped by beforehand to meet our pups. We would highly recommend Anna and plan to use her pet sitting services in the future.”
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats for the last four years. I grew up with cats from the day I was born and have been around dogs and owned my own for the last 4 years. I have two dogs and cats of my own. I love spending time with my animals and others. I wish to spoil your pups as well as my own! I enjoy playing with all the animals and hope to be able to assist you more in your adventures and provide a good state of mind for you and your family as you leave your beloved animals in my care. Feel free to ask any questions and I will be more than willing to provide as many details as needed. I am available for overnight stays on the weekend and have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home as would be needed. I have a fenced in yard and am able to crate your dog if needed. Good with discipline if necessary and use treats as rewards for good behavior.
“Adriana was a great help and looked after my pup. On time and was willing to adjust and work with me considering my difficult schedule. I highly recommend and will be rebooking in the future!”
About: I can't remember a time I didn't have a pet, since childhood. My childhood dog's name was Wallstreet and our cat was Clara. My dog Leia is my first dog as an independent adult. I've had her for 10 years. I started a cleaning business since 2019 and my clientele grew from word of mouth from people I would house sit and pet sit for since 2016. During that time I also cared for a woman with dementia for two years, checking on her twice a day, cleaning, going on outings, and giving meds. I still have my cleaning business and am looking for a new side hustle to supplement my income. I love animals and people and have a lot of free time, so this just made sense! I hope I can help spoil and love on your pets while you can't. I have a completely open and flexible schedule. The only things I do on a regular basis are some zoom calls at 7 pm early in the week and a couple outings/errands a week for an hour or two. In my home, dogs would be walked around the beautiful hills and scenery in my neighborhood. I don't have a fenced in yard. Cats and dogs would have full reign of the apartment. Animals are allowed on furniture. Actually, I am lucky they share the couch with me.
About: I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters so I know how to handle cats and dogs and tend to their needs. I have babysat dogs for my family, family friends and neighbors. I’ve gone to check in on their puppies. I am a full time student in school to be a Veterinarian. I have taken care of many different animals such as dogs, cats, ferrets, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep’s, goats and reptiles. I have my certification to give intramuscular, intravenous, and subcutaneous injections to fulfill your pets needs. I am a full time college student. I only go to school two days out of the week during the morning time. So I will be able to stay home the rest of the time to care for your babies. We wake up let the dogs outside, let them back in to eat and then go back outside sometimes we will play outside will the ball. Our older dogs like to stay inside.
About: I have had my Labrador for about 14 years now. I have always been surrounded by dogs and enjoy taking my dog on daily walks. i’m currently on summer break from college so i have plenty of time. I am usually free anytime after 10:30 am everyday. I am pretty flexible. I have all types of accommodations for any needs that are necessary as I have years worth of doggie supplies around my house as needed.
“Jerry and Tito got along from day one. Jerry is responsible and takes the time to make sure Tito is comfortable. Jerry has full access to my home and is trustworthy and respectful, even sticks around to make sure Tito is ok after his long walks.”
“Ciria was a great Rover! Very attentive to our animals and communicative after visits. I know our animals loved when she came over for the drop-in visits. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Flor is absolutely the sweetest! Our picky fur babies opened up to her quickly! I reached out to Flor very short notice and the whole meet/greet and visit went far smoother than the day trip my husband and I had lol Thank you, Miss Flor!”

Ericka helped check after my babies last minute and was such a life saver while I was out of town! One of my dogs has slight anxiety and she took time to play with them which helps him a lot. So grateful for her and he help, will defiantly request her again! 🫶🏼
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! ❤️🐾
Connie was the absolute best dog sitter I could’ve asked for! I wish I could still have her as my sitter when I go to move to my next duty station. Connie has helped me these last six months, with having a busy, chaotic schedule. She goes above and beyond! She’s reliable, trustworthy, and always willing to help in any way she can! Scooby absolutely loved her, and I’m so grateful I found a trusted sitter for his crazy self. She’s literally the best!!
We had a wonderful experience with Katie! She took such great care of Ivy and Floki and kept us updated throughout each visit, which meant so much to us. It’s never easy leaving your pets behind, but Katie made us feel completely at ease. We came home to two happy pups and couldn’t be more grateful. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again in the future! 🤍🐾
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!
Nev was so great for daily visits for our senior dog Duke while we took a mini vacation. Thank you so much for accepting our booking on such short notice—we truly appreciate your flexibility and willingness to help us out last minute. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pet was in good hands, and we’re really grateful for your kindness and reliability. We would absolutely book with you 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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a San Antonio stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
