“Karen was dependable, thorough, and went beyond in trying to get to know our kitties. Having just moved to the area, they were hesitant with a “stranger in a strange place!” Would recommend her!”
About: NOTE: Not taking any new boarding requests for November 2026. One of my dachshunds, Olsen, just had emergency back surgery, so I will be focusing on his recovery. ——— I grew up with a wide variety of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish), have been pet-sitting an even wider variety (parakeets, turtles) since I was a teenager, and also trained service dogs for two different organizations in college. I am currently the go-to pet sitter for most of my friends and family because they know I will treat their pets like my own (i.e. happy and spoiled). ——— I have experience with pets in all stages of life, as well as those with special needs. If your pet takes medications or has a complicated feeding schedule, I can easily handle it (bonus points if you provide detailed notes, though!). I am an office worker with a hybrid schedule, so I’m only in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I am available for boarding and drop-in visits most weekdays, weekends and holidays. I own a small, single-story home with a large, fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of walking trails and parks nearby. I strive to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for all. Pets are also welcome on the furniture (I mean, where else will those snuggle sessions occur?). --- I have one cat and two dachshunds, so my house is both cat- and dog-friendly. I provide several cat trees, scratching posts, and litter boxes throughout the house. I also have multiple dog crates, as well as ramps up to the bed and couches.
“Mireya was great very nice girl, send lots of photos while I was gone. Kept the cat litter clean, and gave the cats fresh water each visit, I'm happy with her and will keep using her help in the future :) thanks Mireya”
About: I have owned and cared for cats for the majority of my life. My sweet cat Rigby is nine years old, who had stomatitis which caused him to lose all his teeth, because of this I am comfortable administering medication or food through a feeding tube, a syringe and by mouth if need be. He also has sensitive skin, so I have applied topical ointments and oils to his skin. He also lets me clip his nails and clean his ears. I work as a grad intern in the school system, so I am available after 4pm on weekdays and available anytime on weekends, or flexible depending on my part-time job. I have a nine year old cat who had stomatitis which caused him to lose all his teeth, so I cared for his pre and post operation care, like administering food and medicine through his feeding tube. I believe open communication is key, so I will always contact you before making a decision regarding your fur baby. I love and cherish all animals. I have not cared for my own dog, yet, but I would love to learn!
“Eric is definitely my No.1 sitter choice! He was caring and followed all the instructions we left for him. He communicated throughout his visits. I would highly recommend Eric to watch your fur buddies!!!!”
“My cat was well cared for! Her litter box was cleaned every visit, food was checked and they communicated with me the whole time. It was my first time using river but I would hire them again 😊”
About: Hi! I’m a dog and cat lover who would love to give your furry friends the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so I’d love taking your dogs on walks and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! ❤️ I am a nursing student, and so I have time in the day between classes to help you out, as well as evening hours after school. I’m excited to get to meet your pets! I treat each animal like it’s my own! It’s important to me that they feel safe and loved while I’m caring for them. To make sure they are calm and content while you are gone I will do everything I can to make their environment a peaceful place to be.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful, and her communication throughout the stay gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and treated them as if they were her own. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!”
“We had Sarah stop by and do a check-in on our brand new puppy. She was timely, took a handful of photos, and made sure our pup was comfortable and settled in her kennel before leaving. She did great! Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Diego! He kept us updated on Dalek throughout the visit, and we felt confident knowing Dalek was in good hands and well cared for. We truly appreciate his attentiveness and will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: I’ve had dogs as part of my family for most of my life, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them when you can’t be there. I’m dependable, attentive, and very comfortable getting to know each dog’s individual personality and routine. For drop-in visits, I’m not someone who will simply fill the food and water bowls and leave. I’ll spend time with your pet, give them attention and affection, let them out for potty breaks, play with them, and make sure they’re comfortable and settled before I go. I’m also a detail person, so I’ll pay attention to things like eating and drinking, behavior, energy level, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. Whether your dog is young and energetic, older and prefers a little extra patience, or just happiest having some company while you’re away, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home—and for you to feel confident that they’re in good hands. I am available for lunchtime visits as well aa early evening. I am available for early morning with enough advance notice. Availability is contingent upon the client’s needs. I do not currently offer sitter services in my home at this time. I’m happy to care for your pet as a drop in only.
About: I grew up taking care of two Labrador retrievers, multiple cats, and a Guinea pig. I have experience house sitting for dogs and cats, house visits, and dog walking. Let me take care of your fur babies! I have a flexible and open schedule. I give my cat daily care, and I am available to care for your pets too. I am based in San Antonio. When I am house sitting, I make sure that fresh food and water is available, that the food dishes are clean, that fresh air is available, and their living space is kept clean from 💩
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.
About: I’ve taken care of puppy’s-senior dog, I had my dog since she was a puppy and she is now a senior dog she lives at my dads house because I moved out about a year ago. I’m good taking dogs on walks, playing, belly rubs!! I am currently a part time babysitter so I have extra time on my hands! I love going to the animal shelter and taking out the dogs to play, so this would be great for me. I would make sure to treat them as my own read instructions and follow them to a tea. Give them lots of belly rubs and snuggles, playtime and lots of times around me.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is not just my love for animals, but the hands-on experience and skills I bring to every visit. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities—from energetic puppies learning basic commands to senior dogs and cats who need extra patience, comfort, and gentle care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, administering medication when needed, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort before they become a problem. I’m currently a student and a part-time worker , so I will have a great amount of time to hang out with the animals ! I am able to do the mornings ! In the afternoon, and at night! If there are any questions about times of my classes, please feel free to ask! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest while ensuring a clean, pet-friendly environment with safe toys and plenty of space. I take extra precautions—like double-checking doors, securing leashes, and monitoring for hazards—so you can trust your furry family member is always protected. To give you peace of mind, I provide regular photo or video updates, and I care for every pet with the same love and attention I give my own.
“Laila did a great job with my son Mello and communicated very well! I wasn’t worried at all during the three days she feed him, I told her she was on food duty and went the extra mile to sit and play/cuddle with him. Definitely recommend”
“Samantha had a difficult task with my cats. I have 4 of them and 3 aren't well-socialized. They are also very accustomed to getting lots of attention from me, so they become something like guard dogs when I am not there and someone else enters my home. By the third day (and mind you this was on Christmas day!) she had all of them letting her pet them and showing her affection. Samantha did a great job and I'd recommend her to anyone. Thanks Samantha!”

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Shavano Park is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
