“William was awesome! Took great care of our little pup and sent amazingly adorable update photos. Great at communicating and felt really comfortable with him in our home while out of town. Highly recommend booking him!”

“Georgia was fantastic! She was available on short notice and took amazing care of our dog, Milo. Our dog is an anxious rescue, but she is a dog whisperer and immediately put our boy at ease and he was even wanting to sleep with her night one and showing his belly which he doesn’t do unless he’s 100% comfortable. I apologized for running low on his supplies and for him being a little stinky since his bath was delayed and she didn’t even hesitate to offer to go grab what he needed and even offered to bathe him. On top of taking great care of him, she took care of us anxious dog parents and communicated every step of the way and gave lots of updates and pictures. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Will definitely be using her in the future.”

“Isabella was the first person I booked from rover and was such a big help staying with dogs during the hours I need her for. She treated my dogs like they were hers and always made sure to update me when they went out on their walks and potty breaks. I highly recommend her, she is very reliable.”

About: I've experienced the magic of pets since I was young. My parents' house includes a Shih Tzu, Labrador, and a mixed cat! They behave different but have tons of love that they give us. We love our pets, and I know you love yours, too. I've cared for pets of a variety of ages and sizes. I update clients every day / walk that their pet is in my care. If you need a scheduled sitter in advance or a last minute sitter, just ask! Let's work together. First-time clients get 10% off for the first appointment. I'm responsible and trustworthy. I hold a master's degree and work full-time, but can step away during lunch breaks to feed pets and can go after 5pm. I also love giving daily updates on your pet while you are away! For house sitting, I leave your home the way I find it. I appreciate a clean space in my own home, and I take pride in respecting your home. I enjoy jogging / hiking. I regularly walk my parents' Labrador when I am home; thus, taking your fur baby on a walk is not a challenge for me. I walk often, and will be sure to keep your pets safe! I am aware of snakes and other predators lurking in San Antonio's trails and have training in snake bite care. I haven't had to use it, yet, but it is good info to know! I can walk your dog anytime after 5pm, Mondays - Fridays. I am usually flexible with my time on weekends if given advanced notice. I do not walk pets in extreme heat (outside temperature of 90 or more, unless there is ample shade in your neighborhood), as I prioritize their safety/wellness and do not want to burn their paws.

“If I could give 10+ stars for Maya, I would! ❤️ Maya was communicative the entire week we were gone with pics, updates, etc. She is an excellent dog/house sitter and truly loves dogs. Every picture she sent, our Sadie Mae was happy and smiling! Would 100% recommend her!”

Susan B.

“Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.”

Amy H.

“Meg was great! I've never let anyone whom I did not know stay in my house, but I tried Rover and Meg out per a friends suggestions.She stayed for 4 days and watched my 4 dogs and 1 cat. She was wonderful, I came back to a house cleaner than I left it and to very happy puppies. Thank tou Meg! ”

Staci R.

“Isabel was the best watching our pups! She was very communicative and loved in our babies while we were away. It was our first time using someone we didn’t know and the dogs loved her. She handled all instructions to a T and we came back to happy pups 😊”

Alexus G.

“Second time Lindsay has watched our 2 kittens and dog. She does an excellent job communicating and making sure everyone is well cared for and loved while we’re away!”

Elizabeth G.

“Laurie did great with our three dogs. She also cleaned our house after a very rainy week while we were gone. I would recommend her to others for both house and pet sitting.”

Jenny G.

“Damien did an amazing job at caring for my dogs. They warmed up to him very quickly loved being around him. He was also very respectful of the house and very clean. I will be booking him again. I highly recommend Damien to anyone needing a good sitter.”

About: I took care of my dog, Luna, since the first day she was born because her mom didn’t want her. I’d wake up every 2 hours to make sure she ate while she was little because I didn’t want anything to happen to her. Now she’s 4 years old running around with her parents and siblings. I have a cat, she recently turned one. I take her everywhere with me, she loves car rides now. At home I have dogs who I’d always look forward going to play with after work. Pets have been a part of my life for a while now and I enjoy it. When it comes to dogs, puppies, I know that most of the time all they want to do is play and I’m okay with that. I think it’s an important part of their life to keep them healthy and happy.I know some pets don’t like being alone and it’s makes me sad to see pets waiting by the door for their owners to show up. So I look forward to being with them whether it’s playing with them or just keeping them company while you’re out working or running errands.

About: Hey there! I’m a current student at UTSA with 5 years of experience in dog walking & pet sitting for friends and family. I have two dogs named Chaos and Riot (standard/pocket bully mix from the same litter!) and a blind cat named Francis (American Wirehair), so I’m pretty well versed in caring for both types of pets! I have also had many pets before them (some of which required medical care) so I have experience administering medication. Though I’m a full time student, I have plenty of breaks available in my day to check on your pet and make sure they get all the play time and love that they need! I’m also an active runner, so if you’re dog loves running I’d love to take them with me! I can’t wait to meet your precious pets! I'm a full-time student at UTSA and work part-time, but I still have plenty of time for pet care on weekdays and weekends! Here is my availability for dog walking and check-ins. Mondays & Wednesdays: Early Morning: 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM Mid-Day/Lunch: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Tuesdays & Thursdays: Early Morning: 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM Mid-Day/Lunch: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Fridays: Morning & Afternoon: 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Saturdays & Sundays: Fully open & available all day! HOUSE SITTING: I am available for house sitting every night of the week! Please note that on weekdays, I will briefly step out during my daytime class & work hours, but I will always return during my scheduled time blocks listed above to feed, play with, and love on your pet! During housesitting, my goal is to maintain your pet's familiar environment and daily routine to minimize anxiety when you are away! I follow your feeding schedule, provide proper medical care (if applicable), and stick to my listed time blocks so pets are never left alone for more than a few hours at a time during the day. I keep your living space clean and secure, with the utmost respect, leaving the space exactly as I found it! I also send frequent photo and text updates so you can enjoy your peace of mind knowing that your pet is happy, relaxed, and safe! For check-ins or dog walking, I enter your home and greet your precious pets to ease any entry anxiety and check that their environment is safe and calm. I refill (and clean, if necessary) water bowls, and if requested, feed your pets the requested portions along with any oral medications. For cat drop-ins, I do a thorough daily scoop of the litter box and clean up any tracked litter. For pups, I immediately handle any accidents made during time unsupervised. Being well-versed in caring for both dogs and cats, in the many life stages, your pet will receive the best playtime (or chill time if that's their cup of tea!). As mentioned in my bio, I am an active runner, so if your pup loves to run, then we'd have a blast!
