“Dora was amazing with my pups for house sitting! She kept me updated throughout my time away and sent plenty of pictures. She went above and beyond with everything. Thank you again!”
“Ella did a great job with our animals on a short notice booking. She was very helpful and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of during our time away.”
“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.”
“Aaliyah is a new house/pet sitter for us and recently “sat” for us for a weekend away. She was great! She was very attentive to our two dogs and did everything we asked (and more). I will definitely be using Aaliyah again. She has proven to be responsible and trustworthy.”
“Rebekah was a great house / dog sitter! My dog was in a cone and had some meds he had to take and she handled it all great, especially since it took him a moment to warm up and settle in. She was patient with him, very communicative and had the sweetest things to say about him! I will definitely book Rebekah again in the future.”
“Samuel was great with my animals and communicated how everything was going. Left the house very clean and very professional. I will use him again.. my animals loved having him there.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all needs, including raising and rescuing a three-legged dog, which taught me patience and how to handle disabilities and medical care. I’m comfortable with routines and medications and always prioritize a dog’s comfort and safety. I’ve pet sat many times, often while babysitting, so I’m reliable and responsible. I’m also experienced with puppies, currently raising a French Bulldog and an Australian Shepherd, and I bring patience, attention, and genuine love to every dog I care for. Pet care fits well into my routine. Monday–Thursday I babysit from 8–3, so I’m available early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and late nights. I can do drop-ins, walks, or feedings around that schedule and stay consistent. On weekends, I’m fully available at any time of day, which allows me to provide more flexible care, including longer visits or overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free in a familiar environment. I closely follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain a clean, organized space while also making sure your pet has plenty of fun, exercise, and attention. I’m experienced with puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, and dogs with medical needs, and I can administer medications if needed. I always respect your home and leave it just as clean as I found it.
“Wonderful! Very attentive to my poodles. Helped to address a food issue when one of mine went on a hunger strike. Very respectful of my home. She stayed for 3 days and 2 nites. Great communication! Love her!!”
About: I love helping my friends and family with their pets! I’m reliable and responsible when it comes to pet care. I strive to be kind and gentle with all animals :) I work mostly full time 9:00am until about 3:00pm Monday-Friday. I’m free most weekends! Prefer to stay at home and happy to do drop ins. My sweet kitty, Nova, loves all the cuddles and playing with her toys or, of course, random objects. I clean her litter box daily & her automatic feeder keeps her feeding schedule on time and reliable as well as her gravity water feeder. Sweeping litter and keeping her food area clean is a must!
“Dani is amazing! We are so thankful for her. She did a great job pet sitting Oreo on very short noticed. Oreo is recovering from being spayed and couldn’t go to the pet resort we normally have her at during the week. She did a great job making sure Oreo was comfortable and didn’t over-excite herself.”
“Kyla did an amazing job looking after our pups last minute. She had great communication, followed our pups routine and kept me updated throughout the. She was also incredibly sweet with our pups!”
“Jean-Paul was an excellent sitter for our two English Bulldogs. He provided lots of pictures and updates, which was great! He’s gone above and beyond to make sure our dogs are loved and cared for while we’re away.”
“Rylee exceeded all expectations, and we are lucky to have found her. She is communicative, engaging, responsible, and most importantly, caring. She sat our furry family and home for nearly two weeks, regularly sending updates and photos while we were out of the country. We highly recommend her for anyone seeking a sitter for pet and/or home. She will be our choice for the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Lindsey was amazing! She helped us out with a last minute trip and was very communicative. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and they seemed to love the attention. Would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I grew up surrounded by pets and learned early on how to train, care for, and support them with love and patience. From daily walks and playtime to consistent routines and gentle training, I treat every pet as if they’re my own family. I have open availability as I am a full time graduate student. I’m available to take care of pets, walk them, or do drop in visits. I care for pets by walking, feeding, and having fun with them, for those that have a specific schedule I stick to it. I make sure to avoid any furniture or open areas that might interfere with pet safety.
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'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 their is ample shade in your neighborhood), as I prioritize their safety/wellness and do not want to burn their paws.
About: Hi! My name is Karina, and I’m a reliable, compassionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for all kinds of pets. I have volunteered at an animal shelter where I helped with feeding, cleaning, administering medications, and walking dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I love flexibility, me being a full time medical student it is difficult to abide to 9-5 jobs, so having the flexibility to drop in at any time I choose to works great with my schedule. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, potty breaks, walks, and playtime routines to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I also give regular updates and make sure pets receive lots of love, patience, and attention while their owners are away.
The Dominion pet parents share their Rover experiences
I’m truly grateful that Rebeca was available to take care of my Hunter and watch the house while I was gone. She did a wonderful job of keeping on a daily basis. She also left the house in tiptop condition. It was so nice to come home to a clean house that looks like it did when I left I would not hesitate to use her again.
Thomas took care of my dogs, Mic, Nana, and Chabella for 4 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, his communication was excellent—he kept me updated almost every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was always on time, responsible, and very attentive. He asked thoughtful questions to really understand their routines and needs, which showed how much he genuinely cared. What truly stood out was how above and beyond he went—he also helped with cleaning, and his mom came every day to assist him with the dogs. That level of support, care, and dedication meant so much to me. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely loved him. That says everything. Knowing they were happy and comfortable made it so much easier for me to relax. I felt completely at ease leaving them in his care, and I would 100% trust him again. I highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and truly great with animals.
Fantastic!!!!! Lola was soooo happy with her care, as was I. I felt comfortable that Lola was in great hands. She got lots of play and cuddle time. My instructions were followed to the letter. The house was well cared for as well. I was so impressed with the courtesy and professionalism, as well as the level of caring. And it was so nice to come home to a clean house and a happy pup! I will definitely rebook 😄🐕❤️
We will DEFINITELY ask Rosalie to watch our dog again in the future. This was our first time using Rover.com and we were very nervous. We searched MANY profiles for months, undecided on a sitter before we finally found Rosalie. I am SO incredibly glad we chose her and she accepted. She is trustworthy and dependable. She showed up at the agreed upon date and time and left our house very clean. And she was great at communication. MOST importantly I could tell by the updates and photos of our dog that she sent while we were away that he REALLY likes her and was happy. A little history - since rescuing our dog at 8 weeks old we have boarded him only one time. The boarding facility was great, but we saw from the camera in his kennel that he was miserable, and not eating or sleeping. He has lots of anxiety (by nature - he is part Border Collie) so my spouse and I have not traveled anywhere together for so long because we have not wanted to leave him. We were still so nervous to leave our dog with someone, but Rosalie was a Godsend (and truth be told I have extremely high standards). She was responsible and seemed to really care about our dog (and our house) while we were gone. Thanks Rosalie!!
