“Lola was awesome with my dog Layla, who’s a bit anxious. She took the time for a meet and greet and really got to know Layla. I loved the photos and updates she sent on the day of the event.”
About: I have been around animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I am a vet tech within the army so I do have the medical training to care for pets. I have a 6 year old dog that I trained as a puppy so I do have experience with training. Currently I have plenty of time to care for pets and have very few commitments that would require me to not be available during the week. With my vet tech experience I am knowledgeable of pet body language and care. I make it a priority to keep animals happy and healthy according to the specific pets needs.
“Being the first time away from our shelter pup,we were very nervous about him - if he would be well taken care of, if he would have a good rapport with his sitter, and if our sitter would even work out. Steven was amazing and allowed us to enjoy our vacation knowing Ozzy was well taken care of. He established a good relationship with him before our vacation (it helped that we had several drop ins before so Ozzy would be familiar and comfortable with him - I highly recommend doing this for any new sitter) and was respectful of our home while we were away. Thank you Steven for taking such great care of Ozzy!”
“Gabby did an excellent job house sitting for our two large dogs while we were away on vacation. She kept us updated every day with photos and videos playing with our dogs and taking them on walks. Our dogs took to her immediately and we came home to happy, well cared for fur babies. Knowing our pups were so well taken care of allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our vacation. We would rebook with Gabby in a heartbeat for our next time out of town!”
About: Having a special relationship with your pet is my number one goal. I want them to feel comfortable and relaxed and excited to see me for their walk. My son is currently attending college so my days are open to spend quality time with your sweet pet. My schedule is open to accommodate. Safety above all is my first priority, making sure that they are on their leashes before we even walk out of the house. Take poop bags.
About: I have been in the pet care industry for four years now and I love absolutely everything about it. I am well experienced in handling all dogs big or small, shy or hyper!! I am also experienced with handling medication if needed! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry best friends. I am available all week and will accommodate according to your schedule! I have two fur babies to keep your fur baby company if needed! Also have some experience in dog training as well if needed. I take multiple walks a day and if needed I have a crate available for your baby.
About: For the longest I've always had a love for all kinds of animals. At one point I had rabbits, dogs, cats, fish, and a bird. I was very thankful my parents had the same passion for animals as me. Since I was 11-12 I would take care of our neighbors' pets when they would leave out of town for the week or weekend. I would walk, feed, play, and sometimes bathe or give them their medication if needed. After college I began volunteering at my local animal shelter where I got to socialize with the dogs and cats and help with the basic care that the animals needed. Currently, I have 6 wonderful dogs of my own so I have learned a great amount about dogs in general as well taking care of puppies from the day they're born to the day they find their forever homes with their new families. Other than dogs, I do have experience as well with cats, birds, and fish. I work remotely Monday - Friday and my schedule is flexible so I would have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends. Since weekends I do not work, my schedule is completely open to care for your pets at your home or just to simply stop by and tend to your pets needs and keeping them company. My first priority is to make sure you and your fur baby have a positive and amazing experience while I take care of them at your home. My main goal is to make sure you have that peace of mind that your pet's needs are taken care of while you are away and sending the occasional picture of your fur baby if needed :)
About: Hi! I'm Carlos. I completed a veterinary preparatory program from December to April 2025 and have been working at a veterinary hospital since earning my Bachelor of Science degree in 2023. With both academic and hands-on experience in animal care, I’m confident in my ability to provide excellent care for your pet. I'm reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is my top priority right now. I recently completed a veterinary preparatory course and am currently available full-time. This means I have the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of schedules, including last-minute requests, extended stays, or daily walks. Your pet will get my full attention and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort to ensure your pet feels at ease—whether in my home or yours. Safety First: I pet-proof spaces, secure all doors/gates, and remain vigilant during walks or playtime. I always keep a pet first-aid kit nearby and know where the nearest vet is, just in case. Building Trust: I get to know your pet gently and follow their usual routine for meals, walks, and play. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing. Comfortable Environment: I create a calm, clean space with cozy bedding, access to their toys, and anything familiar that helps them relax. With my veterinary training and full-time availability, I’m dedicated to making your pet feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: I was raised with cats and dogs and have always loved animals. I have large and small dogs and cats and one horse. I even take care of butterflies! I can feed, medicate, train and love house pets and livestock. I worked for over thirty years as a psychiatric technician, so I can give injections to people and animals. I am patient, reliable and kind, and am a karate instructor in my spare time, so I can keep up with large and active animals. I groom my own large dogs and give them vaccinations, as well as my horse. I have handled a variety of animal-related emergencies, including snake bites, birth, evacuations from fires, and end-of-life care. I treat my animals like they are family.
About: I've taken care of my neighbors pets off and on since 2018. Along with that I have taken care of my own dog since 2019. I don't mind picking up after a dog or if necessary cleaning up a dog in case something goes wrong I'm currently between jobs but I make it a priority to walk my dog every morning around my neighborhood 2-3 times a day 7 days a week. I make sure my dog is fed every morning and night, we play whenever she has too much energy or gets zoomies. Checking in on my neighbors or technically clients animals was always a top priority every morning or every other morning depending on instructions. I have no issues house sitting if it is needed
“Ben was absolutely awesome with our dogs. He stayed overnight with them while we were at a wedding. They loved him as soon as they met him and (we're told) were on their best behavior on walks! They won't even do that for us! I'd request Ben again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone.”
“Amy watched our house and took care of Blue throughout the entire Christmas holiday, and she did a wonderful job. She was very communicative whenever we reached out, regularly sent us pictures of Blue, and kept us informed of anything important. She was incredibly sweet, easy to work with, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, 10/10!”
“Jack was an amazing Rover sitter! He stayed at our home and took such great care of our dog, we could tell right away how comfortable and happy our pup was with him. Jack was very communicative throughout the stay, sending updates and paying close attention to details, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. We highly recommend Jack and would absolutely book with him again!”
“Victoria was great! Very communicative and really listened to the details regarding our needy dogs! It was a huge relief being out of town and finally not having to worry about them, plus it seems our dogs loved having her around! Definitely would recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of my many dogs from friends, family, animal shelter currently, and in the hospitals as a vet tech. I have multiple pets at home I have grown up with and am always building my experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I do have a part time job, but I do not work everyday. Therefore pet care can easily fit in my schedule when needed. Day or night can work with communication throughout clients and my work managers. My animals waters are constantly checked on and filled along with food needed at certain times. Potty breaks throughout the whole dayz not just morning and night. Playtime is a must to get the brain active within the animal, along with nap times to rest. I always have a clean household, and I would respect the clients home the same way as if it were my own.
The median cost per night for house sitting in San Antonio Heights is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Antonio Heights
Letitia cared for our pup while we were overseas and did a wonderful job. We appreciated all the updates and love she gave our girl while we were away, and cared for our home as if it was her own. Thank you again! Knowing our pup was in great care for our extended vacation put us at ease! Would recommend to anyone!

This is our first time using a service/app like this. We were in a bind with a looming trip, and honesty had no other options besides one of us missing altogether. We were nervous having previously only used family and close friends to house sit and dog sit. However Kellie’s reviews and number of repeat clients had us feeling a little more comfortable. Luckily she was available very last minute and agreed to meet with us and the dogs which made us feel even more comfortable with the process. We left and by the 2nd day we were feeling much more comfortable with the situation due to her updates and photos. When the trip ended and we returned, we found the house in better shape than we left it in, and the dogs were still happy and healthy. Overall we are very pleased with Kellie and are happy we have found someone that we may be able to use again!
If you are looking for a pet sitter who is loving, caring, and professional, Victoria is the one! She stayed at our house and took such great care of our fur babies. She communicated with us and sent us pictures throughout our time away. I cannot thank her enough for all that she did. I highly recommend her!
Miracle sitter! I booked a guy originally because my 60 pound pitbull refused to use the stairs so we had to carry him up and down. Justin was able to get my dog to go up and down the stairs! I enjoyed all the text message notifications on how he was doing. Justin paid attention to my general health instructions for Tyson as he was recovering from surgery (neutered). My dog loves him, and seemed very well walked and cared for!
We always feel so comfortable leaving our fur babies and our home in Destinee's care. She goes above and beyond in her care for our pups and our home. Thank you, Destinee! We appreciate you and all the love you gave Shakira during this trip. We arrived home to a happy girl. We know she will enjoy more visits in the future. :)

FAQs for House Sitting - San Antonio Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Antonio Heights on Rover is $66.11 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,425 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Antonio Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred San Antonio Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in San Antonio Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Heights 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
