“Kelsie hid a great job taking care of our dog. He is big and can be challenging and managed his with ease! She even watered our plants while we were gone and sent us pictures of our boy everyday. She was great at communicating! We will certainly use her again!”
“Wonderful experience for both our pups and us! Thalia was super responsive, cheery, and the pups really responded well to her even while we were away. Would happily have her house/pet sit for us again.”
“Leandra took such good care of our two cats! I was so happy to see pictures and videos of our cats getting all the cuddles they wanted over the three weeks she was with them. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing the cats were getting excellent and thoughtful care. ❤️”
“Evelyn did an excellent job with our two English Bulldogs while we were away for the weekend. She provided plenty of updates and pictures, which were greatly appreciated!”
About: We’ve always had animals as part of the family - from cats and dogs to fish and birds. I’d love to take great care your animal family members too! I work Monday through Thursday so I can do evening visits and anytime visits on the weekends. I am able to spend either the thirty minutes or the full hour! Depending on the care you need, I’m happy to work with you and your pet to keep them as safe and happy as is possible
“Best house sitting for our old greyhound we have ever had. We were gone a week and Katherine and her husband took amazing care of our dog and the house. We returned to a cleaner house than we left and they sent us amazing videos each day of Dublins activities. We are lucky to have such a reliable and outstanding dog sitter!!!”
“Sarah watched our dog Bones while we were away for the weekend and did a great job! She came over prior to watching Bones to meet her as well as go over all the basics: food location, key, daily schedule etc. While we were away Sarah kept us posted with pictures through Rover and overall did a great job taking care of our pup!”
“I feel so at ease with Carmen watching our two dogs. Repeat customers and it’s very comforting to not even have to think about what’s going on with the dogs because they’re so well taken care of. Even tossed in 3 pills twice a day for one of our dogs this time - no problems!”
About: I’ve cared for animals throughout my life and professionally work in veterinary medicine, where I care for dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities, ages, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s individual routine. My veterinary experience has also taught me to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall well-being. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, attention, and the same love I give my own. My schedule gives me flexibility for pet care, especially evenings, weekends, and days when I’m not working. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific routine and make sure I only accept bookings that I can give my full attention to. I’m especially interested in weekend boarding, drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I take pet safety seriously and treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My veterinary experience has taught me to be attentive to behavior, health changes, medications, feeding routines, and individual needs. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, provide regular updates, and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable in a safe environment. I also have a small fenced in yard.
About: I’m a patient, dependable, and attentive caregiver who treats every animal like family. My background in childcare has taught me to be responsible, follow routines carefully, recognize individual needs, and remain calm and patient. I understand that every animal is different, which is why I provide personalized care based on their personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m especially comfortable caring for animals, senior animals, and special-needs animals who may need extra patience, attention, reassurance, or assistance. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every animal feels happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available Monday-Friday for morning care around 7:30-9 AM, midday check-ins and walks around 12-3 PM, and evening care around 5–8 PM. Saturday I’m available all day. Sunday I’m available anytime after i get out of church. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow all feeding, walking, bathroom, medication, and special-care instructions provided by the owner. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship while also respecting the pet’s personal space and comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.
About: Hello, My name is Sarah and my wife is Selina 🌈 You get two pet sitters for the price of one! We would be delighted to take care of your four legged babies while you are away or even just to walk them and check in on them. As a pet owner, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. I want to give you peace of mind that I treat all pets as if they were my own (and I treat mine like gold). My moto is pets are family and therefore should be treated with love and respect. We have had many pets growing up and currently are owners of a Maltese mix named Mavis. We regularly take her to dog parks, lakes, and dog friendly places. Mavis used to be underweight. After working with her food allergies we were able to find the perfect balance for her and now she is at a stable 19lbs. She has skin and digestive sensitivities so we know what it’s like to care for many conditions. She enjoys being around people and other dogs. Mavis also make friends easily and is always ready to play. Information you should know about us: We do not smoke or vape. Sarah works from home so your fur baby will always be with one of us. Also, we don’t leave Mavis alone for more than 3 hours at a time so in order to make this manageable, Selina will help take the dogs out and vice versa. Either way, your pet will have the proper attention that they need. Selina’s background: She has worked at an animal hospital caring for dogs, cats, turtles, and Guinea pigs. She has experience in performing temperament tests to make sure your dog will get along with ours. When we house sit we establish a visit to meet you and your pet. We can care for dogs, cats, and other pets you may have. We bring in the daily mail, take out trash & recycling, water plants, as well as perform special requests you may have. *If you contact us we will assume you are gay friendly 🌈 Since Sarah works from home she is available a majority of the day. We are up early so if your pet has an early morning routine, we have you covered. House sitting: We will visit your pets 2x a day or as needed based on your request. We will do our best to minimize pet destruction by moving items out of the way. From experience, some dogs tend to chew on items their owners have never seen them chew on when they are not around (e.g., DVD cases, remote controls, books, clothes, food packages, place mats, dog bed, etc.) we will take pictures and give you a full report on what they did. We will do our best to remove/cover items they like to get to. We are not able to stay over night.
“Kayla did an amazing job with my two dogs. She administered medication accurately and made sure my digs were comfortable will I was away. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worry. Highly recommend.”
About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I bring unmatched dedication and attentiveness to every pup I meet. I’m incredibly patient, playful, and tuned in to each pet’s unique needs—whether they need extra cuddles, structured training, or a full day of fetch and fun. I’m also skilled in basic dog training and grooming, including bathing, so your furry friend will be both happy and well cared for. When your dog is with me, they’re family! I offer open availability every day of the week—including weekends and holidays—because I know pet care doesn’t take days off. Whether you need a last-minute sitter, holiday help, or consistent daily care, I’m here and ready to provide reliable, loving support for your pup whenever you need it. Your dog’s comfort and routine are my top priorities, no matter the day or season. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I closely follow each dog’s routine, dietary needs, and behavioral cues to ensure they feel secure and cared for at all times. Whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home, I maintain a calm, controlled environment and never take risks with unfamiliar dogs or surroundings. I’m experienced in handling emergency situations and always keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being—because peace of mind for you means happy, healthy pups in my care.
About: I’ve been taking care of a variety of different breeds and ages of dogs since I was a teenager. Whether they have a strict medication regimen, are wary of new people, or are super low maintenance - I genuinely love getting to care for them! It would be a joy to love on your pups like they are my own! I work part time and am finishing my degree online so my schedule is super flexible to care for your pets! I am available any day of the week! Reach out and we can make anything work :) Would love to meet up a couple days before our booking so that I could get a better understanding of your schedule, meet your pet, and see where y’all keep everything. After that I will do what I can to ensure it is a seamless experience with your pet! I want to honor your environment and make sure your baby is well taken care of!
About: I grew up with all types of different pets in the household from dogs to guinea pigs to birds and even shrimp! So, naturally, I came to love for all animals! Loving them means to also care for them, so I had to provide care for each animal making sure they were properly fed, cleaned, and had a safe environment to sleep. What you can expect from me: * Quick responses * Reliable scheduling * Updates/photos during visits * Respect for your home and routine I currently work part time and go to school full time, but I still have plenty of time to dedicate to the loved animals of San Antonio. I promise to provide the absolute best care to your pets and to your homes. I will make sure your pets are kept safe and properly cared for. I also walk my dogs all the time, so I know proper handling and care when walking a dog.
About: I’ve cared for dogs in every stage of life, from a 6-year-old rescue to puppies I raised and trained myself. My dogs are housebroken and crate trained, and I’m comfortable reinforcing structure and routines. I’ve also provided overnight care for large dogs with specific medication needs and frequent walk schedules, so I understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. I’m patient, calm, and respectful of each dog’s personality. My goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m flexible and able to plan my day around scheduled walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m organized and punctual, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for on time, especially when they’re used to a consistent routine. Since I provide care in my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and household rules. For walks and drop-ins, I prioritize leash safety, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets have fresh water and a calm environment before I leave. During overnight stays, I maintain their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them feeling safe while their owner is away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Selma
Nancy was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t have been happier with my experience. She left my house the same way I left it and made sure all my furry children were cared for like her own! We even had a problem with our heat and she was very accommodating helping us get the problem situated and made sure our house was safe during a terrible rain and wind storm. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you again!
Love love love! Jasmine was an angel! She came to sit for us while we were already out of town. We unfortunately did not get to meet her, but our dogs loved her right away. She was sweet to them, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond the call to make sure our poochies were taken care of. Do not hesitate to hire her.
Stephanie is incredible with both cats and dogs! She asked all the questions she needed and followed our routine beautifully. This truly helped especially with keeping up my dog’s training. She sent plenty of photos and was a joy to work with. Thanks again Pink Paws Lady!

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 Selma 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 Selma 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Selma 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!

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 .
