“Lauren did an amazing job with our dogs! I was nervous about leaving for an entire week but she sent me daily updates and photo's and was quick to respond to all my messages both before and during the stay. My home was straight and clean when we returned and my dogs were happy and well taken care of. Thank you Lauren for the great job!”
About: I have had a dog in my family since I was in the first grade. I have helped dog sit and watch neighbors’/friends’ pets for around 8 years now. I absolutely love all types of dogs! I currently have a Maltese/terrier mix and have had two labradors. I have experience with puppies since both of the labs I’ve had were around 8 weeks when my family got them. I feel that dogs understand us like no other animal and deserve the utmost care and patience. I have a very flexible schedule, let me know what times work best for you and I will plan accordingly. I am available to take last-minute inquiries as well. Every pet has their own different personality and needs. I ask the owner what the pet best responds to and what they enjoy, then go from there. I then make sure to send frequent updates to ensure the pet’s safety and wellbeing to the owner. I am extremely flexible and will provide the best care according to the owner’s instructions.
“Lili did such a beautiful job taking care of our boys and our home! We loved the daily videos and extra care she gave our boys. We can’t express how grateful we are to her and would love to hire her anytime we travel!”
“We were without cell service for the weekend while camping. Typically that would make me so nervous, but I had zero anxiety about how my two cats and dog were because Grace is a true animal lover and pet sitter. She got to know their personalities and was spot on about what each of them likes/needs - such a great feeling for a pet owner. Thank you, Grace!”
“Highly recommend Naomi. She was attentive to the fur babies and to reaching out and providing updates when she was taking care of them. Fur babies were in great hands and would definitely book her again.”
“Ella is responsive and communicative ! She cares for my two doggies like they are her own ! We have used her twice already as a in home sitter and each time was great.”
“Jaime was amazing. She did everything possible to make our dogs feel loved and happy while we were gone. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
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.
“Matthew is great with dogs! Has experience and established an easy report with our seven-year-old rescue dog, Hank. Appreciated his care and the great photos he sent. Great!”
“Will was very attentive to Penny. Checked in on her, fed her at same time everyday and stayed overnight with her. When I came back on Sunday, she was very content, and not stressed at all. I will use Will again.”
“Dora was absolutely wonderful. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Left our house as she found it - maybe cleaner!- and sent lots of videos and texts. Will definitely have her back!”
“Mariya was amazing!! Such a great sitter. Bo was very comfortable and happy with her, and she sent lots of updates throughout! She also was a very clean & respectful house guest. I’d definitely book her again ◡̈”
“Nicole and her fiance, AJ we're absolutely amazing. They were open and honest about their schedules for the two days they were dog sitting. I really appreciate that especially after a bad experience last time. They took care of my three dogs really well with multiple walks and even spoon feeding my picky eater dog. Very impressed by their deligence and being there for my doggies while I was away. My dogs were well loved and taken care of. It is so comforting to know your fur babies are in trustworthy hands and you can travel with peace of mind. I am definitely booking them for my next trip. Highly recommend hiring this couple for all your dog-sitting needs!!! Seven Stars to them!!!”
About: Howdy! I've grown up surrounded by all types of fur babies and have been caring for neighborhood pets since I was about 8 years old. Over the years, I've looked after dogs, cats, hamsters, and even ferrets for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from puppies as young as two weeks old to senior dogs up to 18 years old. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family, and I'll love and care for your fur baby like the king or queen they are. I'm currently a university student with a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's care. Since I'm not working another job, I'm able to accommodate a variety of schedules, provide frequent potty breaks, and give your pet lots of attention throughout the day. Whether you need daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, or walks, I'll do my best to work around your schedule and your pet's routine. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and go outside whenever they need to. At home, I typically let my own dogs out every 2–3 hours and spend time playing with them outside, so any dogs staying with me will receive the same level of care and attention. I also love taking dogs on walks, especially early in the morning when it's cooler outside, so they can get plenty of exercise without having to deal with the Texas heat. I'll always follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
“Avrielle was a wonderful pet sitter. She watched our 2 dogs and 3 cats while we were on vacation. She sent pictures every day and was very attentive to our animal's needs. She kept us informed of daily activities and feedings. All of our animals enjoyed being around her. I will not hesitate to hire her again the next time we go on vacation! Thank you again Avrielle you are AWESOME!”
About: I’m a lifetime pet owner with one small dog now. He is a Pomeranian named Stitch! I rescued him two years ago and he’s full of energy! He absolutely loves playing with other dogs and we walk pretty regularly. I love being outdoors and enjoy long walks. I do allow dogs to sleep in my bed and love furry cuddles! I have plenty of experience with dogs who have medical needs and feel comfortable administering meds. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! My schedule is extremely flexible which is perfect for checking in on pups during the day and taking them out on walks or following their feeding schedule. I live in a house with a secure fenced in yard and plenty of space to run around! My neighborhood also has sidewalks and walking trails that are perfect for dogs.
“Abby was great in her care of my two cats and home. Her personality was open, warm and engaging and reassuring me they would be cared for. They both responded positively to her presence. I was comfortable with her having access to my home and her level of communication is exceptional. I would encourage other cat owners to book with Abby, you can't go wrong.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Timberwood Park
We had the absolute pleasure of having Jamie stay with our crew for 4 nights — 4 kitties and 2 small dogs — and she was fantastic from start to finish! She sent the most wonderful updates throughout the entire stay: photos of the pets enjoying their 3 meals a day, fun playtime pics, sweet bedtime snuggles, and everything in between. Her consistent communication kept us completely reassured while we were away — it truly felt like we were right there with them. Knowing they were happy, well-fed, and getting plenty of love and attention made all the difference. When we got home, the house was spotless and everything was in perfect order. She clearly went above and beyond to take great care of our furry family members and our home. We trust her completely and will absolutely be booking her again for future trips. Thanks to her, we can now travel with total peace of mind. Highly, highly recommend — she’s a true pet lover and a professional you can count on! ❤️ Thank you so much, Jamie. Our babies adored having you here.
Jessica is a wonderful pet sitter! She was very kind and patient with my 4 crazy dogs and they adore her. She also kept my house clean and tidy, which is a lovely thing to come home to. With our permission, she brought her own dog to stay at our house, because she was house sitting and it was easier that way. Her dog, Daisy, looks intimidating but is a very sweet dog and she got along fine with my dogs. We ended up having to extend our stay overseas because I was not well, and Jessica took care of everything with no problems at all. I recommend her very highly!

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 Timberwood Park 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 Timberwood Park 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 Timberwood Park 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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
