“Sarah helped take care of my little guy over the weekend. She was a quick study for an old cat with a few extraordinary needs. She showed up at the requested times and provided adequate summaries. Her care for my Wyatt was spot on.”
“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.”
“Lexi was the perfect cat-sitter!! She sent daily updates, went above and beyond brushing our kitties every day and managing litter box mishaps, and even helped keep my plants alive!! Would 1000% book again.”
About: I have been around pets since I was born, so that makes pet care an essential role for me. I have looked after birds, dogs, and sometimes cats. I am open for anything! I am available for anytime as of now, until further notice. As of now, I am flexible with any time that is given to me until something else comes along. I care for my pet by making sure he is fed, and I try to keep walks in his daily schedule. I make sure he is bathed so he can spend time with me on my bed.
“Adirah is awesome! So sweet on our meet up she definitely assured me my kitty would be in good hands. Throughout the visit she took plenty of update pictures of him eating and playing alot. I strongly recommend her to anyone! I will message her first next time we need go on a mini vacation.”
About: If your dog has rocket-fuel energy, Olympic-level zoomies, or simply thinks walks are a scam, I’m your girl. I’ll bring them back happy, exercised, and significantly less likely to redecorate your house with chew marks. Benefits: Run it out or lose your mind. (Zoomies don't pay rent) Healthy Weight. Anxiety leaves the chat= Peace through exhaustion. Tire the brain. Silence the chaos= Mental stimulation. I'm a lifelong runner (28 years) and dog lover with a Blue Heeler (having owned two) and Heeler/ Husky mix, I understand their high energy and exercise requirements. Every session is geared towards their needs for the day. I still do offer,"Mosey walks" perfect for older/ senior dogs (Ranger is 10), or less energetic pups who still love to explore. Additionally, a TON of love and attention. I live in the King William area and two blocks from the river. My ultimate goal is a happy, well exercised dog, who sleeps well at night or even if they have to be put back in their kennel. I'm punctual, communicative, and send updates. Jenn I work from home building my business, so I’ve got flexibility — and yes, I can usually handle last-minute runs and walks. My dogs live for outdoor time (Nellie insists on her two-mile morning run), and I fully support their commitment to fresh air and movement. Your dog gets that same freedom and attention. Your dog’s safety isn’t optional — it’s the standard. My dogs are everything to me, and yours get that same level of care. From shady river paths near King William and HemisFair Park to smart, shade-first routes by your home, every walk and run is planned with comfort, awareness, and trust in mind. -Insured Dog Runner
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets on and off my whole life. We had two dogs growing up and cats as well. I’m always up for taking care of my best friend’s dog whenever they need it! Currently I work fulltime but I have my weekends free most of the time. I typically get off right at 5pm so I’m also free in the afternoon / evenings. If I’ll be caring for your pet in your home, it’s best that the animal feels comfortable with me so I’ll rely on whatever instructions / tips you’ll leave with me.
“Adriana is the best! I highly recommend. I have a 3 month old puppy she has been helping me take care of while I am at work and has been a great help. Even teaching him tricks! My dog loves her so I will continue booking with her in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in the home since I was 5 and have loved taking care of these furry guys ever since, I’ve spent my best days cuddling and playing with them to their hearts’ content! I enjoy going through the warming up process and giving them joy while they get to know me and making them as comfortable as possible, I am also a volunteer as San Antonio Humane Society where I give these loving pets some one on one time and attention and give them some much needed joy until they find their forever home! I would love to help make your life a little easier in assuring you that your furry companions are still having a wonderful time even when life gets a little hectic! I enjoy having an early morning outside and being productive early on in the day, I would be able to provide routine services anytime before 11:30am - 12pm In my home I do let my pets roam as they please which includes being on furniture, every hour or two I make sure their water and food are at a sufficient amount, my pets tend to stay inside unless they are showing signs of wanting to go outside into my fenced in yard, I try to routinely go out with my dogs every few hours and one last time before the sun sets, once the sun has set I keep them inside and slowly settle into the night so they’re well rested the following day
About: Hi, I’m Amelia! I am in the Southtown area, and I love animals. I’m new to Rover, but I have grown up with dogs & cats and enjoy them immensely. I unfortunately am unable to own any due to my job and apartment size. So I’d love to help take care of the critter you love! I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my life, and I’ve sat for both for my friends throughout the years. While my job keeps me busy throughout the daytime of the week, if you need someone in the am & pm or weekends, I’m your gal! ✨ I work full time for the USAF, so Early mornings pre 7 am and afternoons post 4 pm until about 9:30 pm will work best for me weekdays. Weekends and holidays are absolutely wide open! When I care for someone’s critter(s), I do so with my whole heart. I will give them oodles of attention and affection (consensually! I know not everyone jives with that) and make sure they feel well taken care of. I’m extremely detail oriented and will make sure that your pet and home are well taken care of in your absence!
About: I’ve had and trained dogs for most of my life. I believe in exercise, discipline and affection and enjoying running or walking dogs. I love going to the park and I definitely let dogs on my furniture and believe in puppy snuggles! I have a full time job during the week and am available early mornings and evenings and can get away during lunch if it’s not too far, but am available full time on the weekends. I will be sure to cater to you and your pets’ needs and will respect whatever rules you may have. I also have experience if any medication is needed for your dog or with senior dogs. I have had dogs all of my life and enjoy their company! I’m currently working part time so will have plenty of time for your pets! Playtime and exercise is important but so is calm relaxation. I am very flexible with my schedule. I do not currently offer boarding of pets but I am happy to come to your pets familiar environment and keep to the routine that they are used to.
About: Im am the proud owner of two fur babies. My oldest cat is 11 years old, I've had him since he was 4 months old. I believe he chose me. I adopted him when i was going through a personal lost and he brought me so much joy. My second fur baby was adopted at 2 months old when her mom abandoned her, as she assumed she would never make it in the world but my sweet girl is now 4 years old and thriving. I stand out from other pet sitters because not only have a had cats for years but with my family & I have had fish, turtles, doves, parakeets, dogs( Great Dane, Terrier, chihuahua), and a Guinea pig. I believe it gives me a variety of experience above a-lot of others. My pets have been in my family for their entire lives and I believe pets are truly apart of the family and should be adored as such! I am awoken daily by my two lovely cats. I start my day by opening the blinds and curtains so my babies can sun bathe. Then i head to the bathroom the clean their litter box. Next comes their feedings. My cats are what you can considered spoiled lol. they have a filtered water fountain, and two different food bowls EACH (one for dry food and one for wet). My day begins and ends with checking on them. I don't not have a fenced in yard because I live in an apartment, but we have designated restroom areas for pets. So, I will need a harness/leash to take them out. I allow my pets on my furniture so your pets would be allowed on my furniture as well.
“Always grateful for Cirias time with my two dogs, they’re always so happy to see her and so worn out when she leaves! (Required to mention I am employed by Rover, but regardless, Ciria is wonderful!)”
“Melisa was prompt and communicative, responded quickly to a last minute booking request that came up for unexpectedly - overall a great experience. I would book again when the opportunity arises.”
About: With 21 years of pet care experience, animals have always been a significant part of my life. Growing up on various farms, I've had the privilege of caring for a wide range of animals, from cattle and horses to dogs, cats, and rabbits. I've raised both puppies and kittens and have provided loving care for animals throughout their lives. Your pets will be in capable and compassionate hands with me! I am currently employed full-time, Monday through Friday, from 5:30 AM to 5:00 PM. I have a lunch break from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM, during which I am available for walking, bathroom breaks, and engaging with your pet. After work, I have no additional commitments, as I am single with no children, allowing me to devote significant time to caring for your four-legged friend. On weekends, my only responsibilities include completing assignments for my online college classes. Outside of my educational obligations, I enjoy staying active and spending time in nature. While I currently cannot offer boarding services, I'm excited to provide house visits, dog walking, playtime, or even overnight stays in your home. Your pet will have plenty of opportunities for companionship, as I have many friends with friendly dogs who love to play! I lead an active lifestyle, taking long walks in the evenings, running 2-3 times a week, and exploring new hiking trails on weekends. This active engagement is wonderful for your pup’s mental enrichment and overall happiness during their time with me.

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!!
Zaihyden has been a great help for over a month now, coming almost every week. He is honest, trustworthy, has excellent communication, and is always dependable. He is wonderful with my dogs, and they have grown to love him and are very comfortable around him. As long as he is available, I will continue booking his services and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter or dog walker. His help has given me peace of mind, allowing me to take a break and have the freedom to do other things while knowing my dogs are in great hands.
Sunny was wonderful! She stepped in on very short notice, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter..She has a warm, friendly personality, and Winston adored her. She took him on walks, gave him treats, and kept him happy and well cared for. She was reliable, caring, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.🐾
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!
Sara has been such a great sitter for my furry babies! They were well taken care of, happy and relaxed! My cat, Obi, is not one to warm up easily to people, but Sara managed to get him to engage with her, come out for pics and even got him to show off his pancake routine, belly exposed. My dog, Nala, also seemed very happy with the care, walks and play time. I loved how I got timely updates, pictures in which my pets looked happy and relaxed, gave me a lot of peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Sara for all the other pet parents and we’ll 100% rebook!
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.

- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
