“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.”

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.
“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.”
“Our pup is pretty sensitive and Sara took the time to win her over by playing with her! Our dog is very skiddish, but Sara went above and beyond to make sure she was able to take her outside before she left!”
“I can enjoy myself and not worry about my fur babes when I have Miguel and Marifer come to visit. The care and individual attention they give to each of my fur babes cannot be matched. I would recommend them to anyone who treats their animals like family.”

About: Experienced pet sitter offering playful enrichment and reassuring care. Skilled in basic first aid, gentle medication administration, and maintaining stress-free routines for happy, comfortable pets. I am an active individual that loves being outdoors as much as possible. I would love to bring your pet along for an exciting adventure! I am an experienced pet sitter offering playful enrichment and reassuring, quality care. I will provide photos and updates during each visit with your pet/s.
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.
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.
About: I’ve provided pet sitting services for friends and family for the past few years I’ve made it a point ensuring that they receive the care and attention they need while their owners are away. I am comfortable following specific feeding routines, and providing companionship to your fur babies. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your fur babies while you are away. I am currently working a part time job with the flexibility to be able to accommodate you and your fur babies needs when you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on fun and stimulating walks. I enjoy taking the time to get to know each pet's personality, preferences, and special needs to provide the best care possible.

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.

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.
