About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve grown up surrounded by a full house of pets, including cats, dogs, and rabbits, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for everyone from playful kittens and energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. My experience has taught me how to understand each pet’s unique personality, needs, and comfort level. When your pets are in my care, I treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m a full-time student at UTSA, with classes Monday through Thursday that typically end by 6 PM. Even on school days, I’m available for dog walks, check-ins, and evening visits after 5 PM. Friday through Sunday, I have much more flexibility and am available for full-day care, overnight visits, walks, and check-ins. I’ll work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve! When I care for your pets and home, I give them my full attention. I’m constantly aware of what your pets are doing, how they’re feeling, and whether they’re comfortable and safe. I pay close attention to their routines, behavior, and individual needs so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have had many animals through the years and tend to easily bond with animals I don’t know yet. I am not formally trained but will adhere to training guidelines if asked so that your pet doesn’t develop bad habits while under my care. I have a 16 year old cat, that I’ve had since he was a kitten, and he is well mannered and gets along well with cats and dogs. He is social. I run my own business and generally only have to go into work on Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. That leaves me the other days of the week available for Care an eager to have a furry friend to play with. I have a 16 year-old cat who is very social and gets along well with both cats and dogs. I have a fenced in yard to play in. I will adhere to your training guidelines in order to maintain healthy habits in your pet. I am the only human in my home so I will be able to give your animal my full attention. I am available for walks, overnight stay or babysitting and can do it at either my home or your home.

Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and right at home. I have a large, securely fenced backyard that’s perfect for supervised playtime and exercise. I also have experience administering medications to both dogs and cats, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any special care instructions. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to get to know their needs and make sure they feel happy and stress-free while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

“We have used Rover multiple times in different cities but without a doubt Rachel has been one of the best.

I feel confident enough to recommend her, She is responsible, friendly, accommodating and kind. Rachel deserves more than 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have owned and cared for them since I was an infant. Currently, I have five dogs of my own, all with different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, which has given me extensive hands-on experience with a wide range of needs and behaviors. Through caring for my own dogs, I am comfortable with feeding routines, walking multiple dogs, administering basic care, and maintaining structure and consistency. I understand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s unique temperament. As a teacher, I bring a high level of responsibility, organization, and communication to everything I do. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, loving, and dependable environment. I currently teach full-time during the school year and am available for pet care in the evenings after 4:30 p.m., with flexible weekend availability including early mornings, evenings, and last-minute bookings. During the summer, my schedule becomes much more flexible, allowing me to offer a wider range of availability and better meet your pet care needs. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. During walks, I ensure dogs are securely leashed at all times, avoid unsafe areas, and tailor the pace and distance to your dog’s age, energy level, and needs. I’m attentive to behavior and surroundings to keep every walk safe and enjoyable. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure your home is respected and left exactly as I found it. As a dog owner of five, I’m experienced managing different personalities and energy levels, and I bring patience, awareness, and reliability to every visit. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I've taken care of my own dogs, as well as my mom's dogs since I was 12. I've also potty trained my mom's 6 month old puppies. I'm currently a part time college student, so I'll be dog sitting between schedules (currently done for the semester!). In order to ensure the best care for your pets I will not book if I believe I'm not the best fit for their needs. For my personal pets, I have a backyard for them and take them on occasional walks in the neighborhood when it's not too hot out for us. I am able to fit requests or accommodations asked of me.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Schertz
This was a very last minute reservation that kept changing and Barbara handled it all gracefully. I will forever be grateful for finding to care for our dog when we traveled. I wish we could take her with us on our upcoming move to Las Cruces. Barbara- thank you for everything!
Tara is an amazing sitter for our fur babies. She is very knowledgeable and comfortable with the dogs. The dogs loved her from the moment they met her. She was fantastic in making sure our older dog took her medicine. I really appreciate that she took the time to play with them during her visits. We loved getting updates and knew our pups were in great hands. I would highly recommend Tara if you want someone who will love your dogs as much as you do.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Schertz is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 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.

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.
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 Schertz 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
