“We booked Nev last minute to drop in on our dogs, and I’m so happy we did! Nev even scheduled a meet and greet, taking time out of their day to make it happened. We are so happy with the care our puppies received.”
“My dog, my cat and I love Sunny and recommend her wholeheartedly to any pet parent. She provided great care, my pets looked happy, relaxed and it helped me have peace of mind while I was away. Sunny sends amazing visit updates, with walk and care details, and funny events that happened during each visit with my furry babies and this helped me feel closer and more relaxed.”
“Ericka is the absolute best! She made the whole process super easy and stress free. My pets loved her, even the shy one! We would love to rebook with Ericka in the future!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jessica took such wonderful care of our cat during drop-in visits and truly went above and beyond what we expected. Her communication was exceptional she sent updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. You could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”
“Muñeca walked up to Allison and immediately opened up to her. Negra did the same. They were both comfortable around her and insisted on head scratches and treats. Definitely a good first time encounter”
About: As a European DVM, I am experienced with all kinds of pets and will provide the best care for your loved companions. I have also fostered a total of 19 dogs (not at the same time!), so I’m used to all sizes and personalities. I also promise to send daily photos and videos, and updates on request! I work from home at the moment, so I have a lot of flexibility, as I can choose my hours of work. For dogs, I can do as many walks as the owner requests, and will go on different routes to keep it engaging for the pet. You home is your sanctuary. I will leave it exactly as you found it, and ask for clear instructions beforehand on which areas you would be comfortable me staying while I take care of your pet. On walks, dogs will be leashed at all times except in safe enclosures if the owner approves it.
“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.”
“Kristi has dropped in on my fur baby a few times. Quick responses, good communication, flexible and always on time. I would recommend Kristi if ur looking for care with your animals.”
“Shawn did an awesome job doing drop-ins for my cats and cared for them as his own. He did a great job following instructions and everyone has very happy when I got home.”
“This was Melisa's first drop in visit with Katie and it went great. She gave my dog her medication, took her outside and played with her and made my day away much easier knowing I didn't have to worry!”
About: As a dog owner and someone who has been around dogs for as long as I can remember, I truly believe they are our best companions who stand by us through thick and thin. Their unconditional love and unwavering support bring us immense joy and comfort. My schedule works perfectly for me, as I have a day job that allows me to be available in the afternoons and evenings to spend time with some furry friends. I treat them as if they are more than just pets, ensuring they feel truly special by showering them with extra love and attention. I focus on creating a joyful experience, making sure they enjoy both my company and the services I provide.
“Meeting with Bailey and Minnie Pearl went off without a hitch. She was so excited to meet Bailey and to share her favorite toys. As for me, it was instant trust, and I couldn’t be happier with Bailey. They played together and even took a brief walk while still learning the leash. Bailey was sweet and caring and has a positive energy and enthusiasm. I highly recommend her for your pet!”
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.
“We had to fly out for a three-day trip on very short notice. We have two cats: a 13-year-old diabetic orange cat who we call our "love sponge," and a thee-year-old lever, mischievous tortie. Morgan understood the assignment. She had not given insulin to a cat before. I showed her how to do it, left written instructions, and all insulin doses went well. The cats were happy and healthy when we returned. My diabetic cat had a veterinarian appointment when we returned, and his glucose and neutrophils were within a good range.”
“Katy is amazing! She’s conscientious, kind, and incredibly polite. Always on time and so sweet with my furbabies, she clearly loves what she does. I always get great updates and the cutest photos, which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. You can tell she truly cares about the pets she looks after. Rest assured—your furbabies will be in the best hands with Katy!”
“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!”
“Jessica was super attentive to my boys (2 cats). Very diligent with communicating daily. She made sure I knew what was happening and took pics of her visits! She showed up on time and never missed a beat! Her energy and positivity is infectious! What a joy it was to have her watch my fur babies! I will definetly book her services again when needed! Thank you Jessica!”

Wonderful cat sitter! Very accommodating, friendly, and communicative throughout the stay. They took great pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind. My cat came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely trust them again and highly recommend their services!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 2,919 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Antonio. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
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.
