“Amber was super great! Checked on my fur babies every day, left very good recaps from the visits. She gave me peace of mind as I was traveling across the states! She cared for my cats like they were her own. Thank you!”
“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!”
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.
“An exceptional Rover! She will be my Rover from now on and highly recommend her to family and friends. My Mylo took to her and made my trip away from home less stressful for me.”
About: I love animals of all kinds, from birds and cats to dogs, and care for them as if they were my own. I have a 6-year-old deaf white Boxer named Coco, who has taught me patience and how to understand pets with special needs. I also cared for my Shih Tzu named Chanel until she passed away peacefully at 15, and I had a beloved cat named Pequeño who has also passed away at 16. I’m reliable, gentle, attentive, and bilingual in Spanish and English . I’m especially patient with senior pets and those who need extra care. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day, I make sure to feed my pet, provide fresh water, and spend time playing or walking with them. Every day I make sure their living area is clean and they have everything they need to stay happy and healthy. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every Pet. At home or in a client’s home, I make sure pets are supervised at all times, have access to fresh water, and are in secure areas where they cannot get hurt. I follow any specific instructions from the pet owner to ensure their routine and preferences are respected. My goal is create a calm, safe, and positive space so pets feel comfortable and care for.
About: I've owned pets since I was a child! I love caring for and loving any and all aminals. I have experience pet sitting in my neighborhood for both dogs and cats. I have trained on leash training and basic commands. I will show your furbaby the time and attention they deserve! I work from home full time with a flexible schedule where I can attend to and play with your baby all throughout various times of the day. They can even be my office buddy! I provide nothing but the best care for both my pets and any client's pets. They need time to play, time to cuddle or rest, time to eat and time to potty! I have a privacy fenced in back yard for potty breaks and playtime. My cats are shy at first so they will hide until they get to know your furbaby and then they will be best buds!
“Leandra absolutely saved me by being so flexible and willing to help on a short notice. Checked on my little guy daily with lots of pictures to keep my mind at ease! 100% recommended!!”
About: I have trained my own dogs growing up, I love dogs with a passion & watch all my coworkers dogs when they go on vacation! I am a nurse, so I have an odd schedule. Not every week is the same days of work, but I am very flexible on my days off! I have my own 2 year old Goldendoodle who I take great care of! She gets fed twice a day, I take her on daily walks/runs, and we go to the park about 2-3x a week. I also always take her anywhere I can! She loves to go with me to get coffee and a pup cup. I respect all clients homes/pets as if they were my own. I love all animals so much and I want to take care of others!!!
“Julie is wonderful! We were out of state when our pup started having trouble with other dogs at the doggy daycare he was at. Julie came to the rescue and picked him up, took him back to the house, and lovingly took care of him while we were away. She also took care of our elderly dog with love and gave her her meds, and took care of a few tasks around the house. Julie was key in helping us enjoy our vacation stress free while we were away. Highly recommend!!!”
“We have used Rover multiple times in different cities but without a doubt Rachel has been one of the best. She was fast to answer our messages and sent pictures along with a detailed review of every visit. Our dogs really liked her and we will continue reaching out to her every time we are out of town. I feel confident enough to recommend her, She is responsible, friendly, accommodating and kind. Rachel deserves more than 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Currently, I get the pleasure and opportunity to work from home. So that gives me plenty of time to provide lots of belly rubs and kisses. So I have plenty of time for walk, tug of war and treat breaks. My home has lots of space and can accommodate any request. My home provides dog gates throughout the home. Comfy beds and dog cage if needed. Home also has designated cozy dog room for relax time.
“Kristen was referred to me by another Rover dog walker and she was as awesome! She took great care of the dogs with pictures and even sent pics of our cats!! Would highly recommend ?”
“Hayley did a great job with the drop-in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's was flexible with their schedule and great with our specific instructions. Would recommend and will use Hayley again.”
About: I’ve have been around and taken care of dogs for as long as I could remember! Trained puppies before and cared for seniors as well:) I am in school wednesday through saturday . I am all free the other days of the week at any times for drop in or walks! I can crate you dog if needed, feed, and pick up any messes in necessary ! Can always meet their needs with extra love :)
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 always loved animals and enjoy caring for other people’s furry family members. Over my lifetime, I’ve had five dogs of all sizes and breeds, along with a many cats. In the years since, I’ve dog-sat and pet-sat many different breeds and truly love taking care of animals. You can trust me with your pets—I will treat them like my own. I’m excited to meet more dogs (and their wonderful owners) I am currently working full time at a church with a flexible schedule. While I do work Monday- Thursday during the day, there is always room in my schedule for pet routines. My mornings and evenings are open to be taken over by cute animals! My goal is to care for your pets as well as you would. That they would feel comfortable, mentally and physically stimulated, and at home no matter where we are.
“Melisa came by my house everyday for 12 days to check on my kitty. I appreciated the daily report card and photos. I never felt anxious and knew my cat was in good hands! I will definitely use her again! Don't hesitate to give her a try.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. 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 October 2026, there are 3,130 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Schertz. 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.
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 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.
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.
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 Schertz with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
