About: I am currently a LVT at a zoo. My boarding experience includes working at at PetSmart Hotel and a small animal clinic. I regularly volunteer at animal shelters, and have experience working with shy or anxious pets. Also, I have 8+ years of experience with small exotics (guinea pigs, reptiles, rats, ferrets, etc.) and 2+ years of experience with zoo exotics. I am a full time LVT at a zoo. I am happy to care for your pets during lunch time and after 4pm Sunday-Thursday, and anytime on Fridays and Saturdays. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize your pet's well-being, and ensure they receive the care and attention they need. I will do everything I can to make sure they stay happy, active, and comfortable.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child. We always had a family dog and as I got older family friends would hire me to pet sit and watch their dogs, big and small. Now, I have a rescue pup of my own and love every minute I spend with her. She’s a very reactive dog, so I have experience dealing with reactivity, and we work on it daily. I will treat your dog as my own and give them the best care. I look forward to meeting your pup and having the best time! I’m employed full time, so I’ll mostly be available for evening and weekend play times! We can go for walks or spend some time at the park! I’m happy to do whatever is the normal for your pup so their routine is not disrupted. We can play in your yard, go for a walk, or snuggle on the couch, whichever they prefer.
About: Hi, I’m John! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I currently have four of my own. I take care of them, walk them every day, and give them their baths. One of my favorite things to do with them is go for a walk at Eisenhower Park in San Antonio. Living with four dogs has taught me how different their personalities can be and how much the little things in their daily routine matter. When I care for your dog, I’ll follow the routine you’ve already set up for them. If they have a favorite walking route, a specific feeding time, or a command you use at the door, I’m happy to keep those details consistent. I can be flexible with visit times when my schedule allows, and I’m happy to do a meet and greet so your dog can get to know me before the booking. I am very flexible, and I will care for your pet at your convenience. Whenever you need me to come in, I am available and I will check in on them and treat them with great care. When I care for your dog in your home, I’ll stick to their usual routine so they can feel comfortable in a familiar place. Before the first visit, I’ll ask you to show me where you keep their leash, food, and supplies, and let me know if there are any doors or gates I need to watch closely. I’ll also ask how they react to things like passing dogs, bikes, or loud noises so I can choose a walk that suits them. On walks, I’ll check that their leash and harness or collar are secure, keep them leashed, and give them space from unfamiliar dogs. Back at home, I’ll make sure they have fresh water and a comfortable spot to settle down. Having four dogs of my own has taught me to pay attention to when a dog wants to play and when they’d rather have some quiet time. I’ll send you a photo and a quick update so you know how the visit went. If I notice something out of the ordinary, like your dog skipping a meal they usually finish, I’ll let you know promptly.
“Cristina is super professional and prepared. She cares for our furry daughter like she is her own. She’s courteous and engaging. She communicates well and takes her time while on walks. I highly recommend her!”
About: I am a student at UTSA. I have one cat (Mara) living with me currently. But I have always grown up with many pets of different ages and sizes. I am a loving and caring person especially for animals. I love play time with them, gives me a little exercise too haha. I also have a lot of free time outside of school so I can take good care of your baby all throughout the day. I have experience with giving pets medications, even bigger dogs, so long as they aren't aggressive. I also have experience with handling senior pets. Book me and you are guaranteed your pet will be well taken care of! 💕 and I’m a pro at silly pet pictures, so you’ll get plenty of those. I have school monday-thursday but only a few classes a day so I have time before, between, and after classes. Otherwise my availability is fully open! I am skilled in cleaning up after pets who have accidents. I also love taking walks and play time. Lots of cuddles will be provided too.
About: Ten years caring for dogs of every size, I specialize in small breeds but open to all sizes and breeds, offering calm, unrushed walks with flexible scheduling and photo updates every visit. I work night shifts, which gives me flexible daytime hours to dedicate to your dog. I’m typically available for walks mid-morning through early afternoon on weekdays, with some weekend availability too. Since I’m not juggling a second daytime job, your walk won’t be squeezed between other commitments. Safety comes first on every walk — I always use a secure leash and harness setup, stay alert to other dogs and traffic, and never take shortcuts on route or timing. I have two miniature dachshunds at home, so I understand small-breed handling, from careful leash tension to watching for signs of fatigue.
About: I am the family animal caretaker who is trusted and loves animals! Experience ranges from personally owning cat and dogs, working at vets, senior care. I work full time during the week but am open to friday and saturday mornings! Hoping to be more open after more experience with rover! I am all ears for at home instructions and am open to giving medications and extra care for seniors! Overall looking out for their wellbeing!
About: I’ve had the opportunity of taking care of my friends and families pets whom I know they cherish deeply for. As do I with my own dog, she’s my baby! Just as I’d want the absolute best care for her, I want to be able to provide that to other pet owners as well. I do have experience in giving medication such as pills. I am very willing to learn any medicine routines or any specific routines in general! I am working part time currently as a server so I have lots of extra time that I’d love to contribute to your pups! My schedule is super flexible however it doesn’t always stay the same. If this occurs updates to the owner will be made. I do go to school but am part time as well so it’s only one day out of the week. I will not be house sitting any pups at my house because I do have 3 dogs, one of which is still in training. However I am open to doing drop ins, walks, and sitting at the clients home! I would follow any requests made for the pet and home. I personally own a xl breed so I have to be mindful when it comes to giving water and food before exercise to decrease risk of GDV. So I follow any rules provided and love them because my dog needs them as well!
“Alexandria is a dog whisperer - she was great at connecting with our doggies during our meet and greet, showed lots of initiative coming up with ways to engage them, was very confident yet gentle with her approach during their first walk, very passionate and genuine in communicating with both - doggies and humans. Thank you so much!”
“Paige was amazing!!! She took such great care of my doggos! She has a great knack for knowing when they needed to warm up to her a little bit, but she quickly won them over. Paige was excellent at communicating and sending photos of the visits, and I would definitely book with her again!”

About: Hello, I am Deanna I am 22 years old and have always had a love for animals. I have cared for my own dog for 16 years, since I was 5 years old, who recently passed. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of pet care, from taking care of a little puppy to providing care for a senior dog. On top of my personal experience, I have also been a dog sitter for dogs with anxiety which required special attention. I am passionate about making sure every pet feels loved and well-cared for. I'm currently working part-time and a full time biomedical college student, but will always make time for your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends at a time we can agree on!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shavano Park
Caryn was wonderful with our fur babies. We hired her to walk our 7 month old puppy and 10 year old twice a day while we were on vacation. Not only was she punctual every single day but took great care of both babies and sent pictures so we could see how happy they were with her. I will definitely be hiring her again.
Paige was amazing!!! She took such great care of my doggos! She has a great knack for knowing when they needed to warm up to her a little bit, but she quickly won them over. Paige was excellent at communicating and sending photos of the visits, and I would definitely book with her again!
Allison was wonderful with our two high-energy dogs! She walked them approximately 3 miles each day and did an excellent job keeping them active and engaged. Our dogs absolutely loved their time with her and looked forward to their daily walks. Allison was professional, reliable, and great with communication. It was clear she genuinely cared about our dogs and took the time to make sure they got the exercise and attention they needed. I highly recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker. We would gladly book with her again!
It was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous but after reading clothes reviews, I’m glad I chose her to take care of my dogs. I really liked that she had experience with rescues especially because I have one and he can be reactive to certain things. I loved that she took time out of her day to come get to meet my dogs so they can get to know her as well. My first time experiencing was amazing over all especially to my dogs.
Wonderful dog walker — my pup’s absolute favorite! My pup loves her so much! In fact he eagerly waits by the door every day for her. She shows up on time with great energy, genuine care, and a consistently positive attitude. Even my neighbors have commented on how fantastic she is with my pup during their walks. Truly reliable, trustworthy, kind, and a bright spot in my dog’s routine. The pics prove he is happy! Highly recommend.
Eric was quick to reply and genuinely cared about making my dog’s day. He took my Dalmatian on a nice long walk and also played with him in the backyard on both days I booked. Eric was great about keeping me in the loop and making me feel included while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. He’s an awesome person, clearly loves what he does, and I’ll absolutely be rebooking with Eric.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Shavano Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Shavano Park after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shavano Park. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
