“Dave is an excellent dogsitter, I had to travel last weekend and I was worried about finding a good sitter to take care of Limón. Dave did a really good job with him. I will book again with Dave for sure!”
“Jackie and her family treated our baby dog girl as their own. Maggie Mae was so happy and loved while in Jackie’s home. We could tell by the look on her face in all the great pictures and videos Jackie shared while we were away. Would highly recommend Jackie in a heartbeat 💓”
“Fernando is a dog whisperer. My dog does not accept others easily but Star enjoys Fernando’s care so much that he wanted to go with Fernando when Fernando dropped him off. I am highly pleased with Fernando’s care of Star. I will definitely ask for his help next time I have to board Star.”
“Arlene and her son took great care of our dog! She was able to relax inside or in the yard, and we felt more comfortable that there were no other pets in the house. Arlene is great about communication and sharing photos. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“We are beyond grateful to this amazing couple for taking such wonderful care of our puppy, Mocha! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in loving hands. Jeanelly was incredibly sweet and kept us updated the entire time, sharing helpful details about Mocha’s behavior, playtime, and even the little things that made her day. It’s clear she truly cared and treated Mocha like part of her own family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would trust them again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Alexander and Taline are absolutely wonderful….They sent pictures constantly and had a super quick response to when I would ask how my pup was doing… totally eased my nerves about leaving her ….10/10 recommended 💕”
“Luke and Leia had another great stay with Karen. Thank you for watching them for us. We appreciate all the pictures and walks…. and the great care you take while they are with you.”
“I left my big goofy hound dog with Kathy during a ten day trip. She always made sure to keep me updated and helped with loading him and his stuff in and out of her house. She’s attentive to how the canines under her care are doing and will let you know if she noticed anything during the stay. (Levi gets some allergies and she took great care of them) He came back exhausted and I have no doubt he played hours upon end with the other dogs and Kathy’s family. Incredibly thankful to have found such a great sitter and definitely recommend her!”
“Snehal was so gracious taking my needy kiddo. She welcomed Lila with open arms. Daily Snehal sent many videos and pictures with many updates. Knowing that your kiddo is being cared for like one of her was the most comforting gesture while we were on vacation. Snehal even sacrificed her sleep so she could let my kiddo out every few hours. I would absolutely let her and her family care for Lila again to be back with Lila’s other “family.””
“I had so much anxiety leaving our needy pup with a stranger for the first time. Mary was the perfect person for us. She eased my anxiety and did so well with our Penny. Sent photos and updates throughout the whole stay. We wholeheartedly recommend Maryela. We finally found someone we can trust!!”
“I just got a new puppy and was so nervous to leave her for 5 days while I was away on a last minute work trip. Priscilla was fantastic!! I got daily photos without asking and Pearl was happy and excited to be there. Will definitely be rebooking! Thank you so much!”
“This was a great first experience for me using Rover! I chose Sabrina because of her location and if I take a trip again she will automatically be the first one I contact again for future bookings. She kept me updated on Katsu multiple times a day and sent me pictures as well. Katsu can be a bit high energy and she worked great with him and told me she would like to have him over again. We've found our go-to dog sitter!”
“I would rate you more stars & include pictures if I could! Once again, thank you for showering him with such great kindness, fun & care. 🥰We truly appreciate how attentive & thoughtful you are. I absolutely love all the updates, including the pictures! Marley looks so happy in every one of them, and it’s obvious how comfortable & happy he feels. Even when I come to pick him up, he’s still all tail wags & smiles. It honestly feels like Marley and I hit the jackpot finding you guys. Also, thanks for the last minute requests and changes.”
“Great experience with Gabriela. She took our short-notice booking, communicated quickly, and took amazing care of our senior dog with multiple special needs. We’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Carlson was very sweet with my pup and very patient about the whole process. She was kind and very accommodating I felt I could relax away from my dog and she gave daily updates so I could see how he was doing which put my mind at ease I would recommend them and will plan on using their service again. Thank you!”
“Lili and her family are wonderful sitters. She sends updates and videos daily and even gave my dog a bath while he was staying with them. I will definitely use her again!”
“Thank you so much to Olivia and her husband. They took great care of our corgi. He came back healthy and happy. I enjoyed all the pictures she sent while we were away.”

“Reily watched my two kitties for the weekend and did an amazing job! She followed all instructions, sent lots of updates and pictures, kept my home extremely clean. Will be using her again 😊🐈”
“Kristina is by far the best rover sitter I’ve had. She was very detailed with her visit notes, and sent lots of pics! My kitties were very happy when I got home, and I know I have Kristina to thank for that.”
About: My cat care experience is limited to my brief time with the local humane society. However, my time with said cats was very mutually beneficial. I would love the opportunity to care & learn more! Though I do not own cats, many of my friends do. I am a bit familiar with their care in a home setting.
“Kate was wonderful when watching my two cats for a week. One of my cats needs daily oral medication, and they eat different foods. Throughout the entire stay, Kate was reliable, communicative, thorough, and sent cute photo check-ins of my kitties. It was reassuring to know that my little guys were in good hands while I was away. I’m hoping to rebook with Kate the next time that I’m traveling.”
“Marla far surpassed my expectations and was my dream pet sitter. I had no worries at all about my pet and was so happy that he was so well taken care of! And she sent me the cutest photos on every visit! Marla is a pro!”
“claudia did a great job taking care of our two cats! she went above and beyond and even washed the cats' dishes and vacuumed up the litter. would recommend her!”
“Nicole was very sweet and attentive to my kitties and all of my needs. She even came over before we went out of town to go over instructions and was concerned with making sure she had everything correct. She sent me pictures of my kitties while I was gone and even brought my packages in for me! I was very impressed with her cleanliness and even suggested I buy more litter before I left as she made sure their box was tidy. :) She was very friendly and easy to work with; I would definitely use her again!”
“Our kitties really enjoyed Samuel’s visit while we were away for Christmas. He took very good care of them and we would be happy to book again! We had a small hiccup after realizing our old address was being used on my profile but Samuel was very cool about it and all was sorted. Please book him!!”
“Patrick was amazing! Very responsive to any text messages, and very helpful with my cats overall! He showed up to do a meet and greet prior, and even checked in while I was away to ask about cleaning up after one of my cats got sick. Very grateful to have him for support when we are out of town!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I found Kailin! I was very apprehensive about leaving my senior kitty for so long, but meeting her prior to the drop ins put me at ease. I really appreciated how responsive she was and how well she communicates. She was able to come over for a drop in sooner than the designated time for an emergency visit, even though she had prior plans. I’m so thankful for her and will definitely be utilizing her services again!!”
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”
“Did a great job of caring for my babies. Kept me up to date daily and responded quickly when I would reach out. Was also flexible when I had to change things around a bit. Would recommend and will use her services again.”
“Ella was excellent at giving both my cats the care and attention they needed. Ella followed all my instructions perfectly. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend you guys to use her to pet sit your fur babies !”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for many years, as I’ve had my own since I was five. My dogs throughout the years were strong, with a medium to large build. I have a lot of experience walking dogs, as I have walked them on my own since I was ten. I also have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies under one years old. I’ve always been a dog lover at heart, but I don’t discriminate! Other animals need their walks too! I have recently graduated from college so my schedule is very open! I occasionally do independent contract work that may affect my availability on Mondays and Tuesdays. When walking I always make sure to clean up after my dogs. I also believe it is important to stop every once in a while to let them explore. I am a runner as well, so if by request, you would like to allow your pet a little extra exercise, I am more than willing to run with them!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Helotes
“First time taking Ryder for daycare here. I can tell he had fun from the updates we received, and hes tired now. Haha. We will definitely use them again.”
“Fernando was very flexible with times and took care my baby last minute. Sent pics even when she was only there for doggo daycare. Thank you so much for having Yuki! Highly recommended ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Sarah was an amazing pet sitter for my bulldog, Canelo! She was quick to respond, very courteous, and incredibly responsible. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in such caring hands. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter!”
“Honey had an amazing time. She was well taken care of and happy. I recieved multiple updates throughout the entire day letting me know she was doing well. She had all the attention and breaks she needed. All of the family and dogs were very welcoming which made Honey's first stay away from home even more successful. In just one visit this has become Honey's second home. Breanna and her family make sure all dogs needs are met and go above and beyond to ensure the dogs are happy and owners are at ease with updates. Honey will be back and I would recommend Breanna and her family to anyone looking for daycare or even a long stay.”
“Snehal and Vivek were wonderful caregivers to our cat Happy and dog Nico! Their family is so full of love and we knew immediately our babies would be in excellent hands. I was so grateful to receive pictures and videos very often throughout the day and for how responsive they were to our babies’ needs. I would definitely recommend this wonderful family!”
“Cecelia was great with our pup! We were coming from out of town and needed someone to watch our dog for a few hours while we attended a funeral. Cecelia was very communicative and kept our dog entertained while we were away - she even sent photos of the fun :) If we lived in this area, we would definitely use Cecelia again!”
“Lola had a wonderful day with Karen. She treated Lola just like family, giving her so much love, affection, and attention. Karen was able to send updates and pictures of Lola throughout the day. I know Karen will be my first go-to person to care for my little angel. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly! She’s wonderful!”
“Hector was phenomenal in caring for our very large baby, who gets anxious when first departing from us. She was wonderfully cared for and it was incredibly easy to get in and out for drop off and pick up.”
“Steph has done numerous drop ins for my dogs, but today she let my dogs and my foster do doggy day camp for the day at her beautiful place so that I could go and see my grandma one more time. My dogs are so tired and fulfilled! I will def be booking again when I need someone I know I can trust with my furbabies!”
“Sabrina did a great job taking care of Prince. Everything went smoothly, and my dog was well looked after and comfortable. Communication was clear, and I appreciated knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely be happy to use her again and would recommend Sabrina to others!”
“Candace is AMAZING with my 6 month old pup. This is the second time this week he's stayed with her and he comes back home so happy and smelling so good and clean!! She also keeps me updated with msgs and pics on how he's doing throughout the day. Very thankful we found her.”
“Thank you, Jennifer, for taking great care of our Bailey. She's always such a nervous one, but it's comforting to know she can relax and play with you, just as if she were at home. Having a home-away-from-home for her is such a blessing and relief, especially when we have to leave her for extended periods of time.”
“Jennafer was absolutely amazing with my dog, Gary! He had such a great time playing with her dog Duke, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. She even gave Gary a bath, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. I really appreciated how caring, reliable, and accommodating she was, especially on short notice. I highly recommend Jennafer — 10/10 whether you need a quick last-minute sitter or regular Monday through Friday care. Gary came home happy, clean, and well cared for!”
“Megan and her husband are fantastic! We left our one-year-old puppy in their care, and he had the best time. They treated him as if he were their own. Their flexibility with drop-off and pick-up schedules was incredibly accommodating. What we appreciated most was their decision to board only one or two dogs at a time, rather than a whole kennel.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs. I have a puppy of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and care they need every day. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and have plenty of fun while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have a puppy of my own. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care. I also enjoy helping neighbors with their pets and am always happy to care for animals whenever needed. I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every pet. Having a puppy of my own, I understand that every dog has different needs depending on their age, personality, and routine. Whether it’s an energetic puppy that needs playtime and attention or an older dog that needs patience and extra care, I’m happy to accommodate them. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
“Above and beyond! Christopher took a very last minute booking for two of our pups. Grandpa Larry has some mobility issues and Christopher lives on the 4th floor of an apartment. I was worried it would be too much for him, but he’s an earth angel. Handled every obstacle with a positive spirit and my kiddos left feeling happy, loved, and clean. Would recommend for any circumstance!”
“We are visiting the San Antonio area for the first time and left our 3 girls with Rose while we did some sight seeing. Everything went great! Rose's house is well set up to keep the dogs safe. She sent several pictures while we were out and clearly our girls were having a good time. We are planning on bringing them back one more time before we leave!”
“My fur babies had a great time with Carly. She took great care of them and sent me updates throughout the day. She also made sure to slowly introduce my dogs to her dog so that there would be no issues. I would definitely recommend her as a dog sitter!”

“Reily was communicative and caring. My dog Arya instantly bonded with her, even through her anxious moments. She was also extremely patient and aware during their walks and catered to all of Arya's necessities. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with pets as part of my family, which taught me from an early age how to care for them with patience, consistency, and respect. Being around dogs and cats my whole life helped me learn how to read their body language, understand their routines, and respond to their individual needs, whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m currently focusing on personal growth and beginning a new chapter in my life. This gives me wide availability and flexibility to dedicate quality time and attention to pet sitting. I’m able to prioritize consistent visits, unhurried care, and being fully present with each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, comfort, and reliability they deserve. I focus on providing calm, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable in their own environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, making adjustments to ensure they feel safe and at ease while their owner is away. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are important to me, and I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Reliable, on time and very communicative as always :) I know my Lalo is always taken care of and I really appreciate that he lets him run wild and free off leash at the dog park and all the precious photos and videos that I’m sent ♥️ I’ve been going thru a really hard time having to work full time and visiting my brother in the ICU and I can’t thank him enough for taking on my Husky who can be a handful 😅 couldn’t be more thankful 😭”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old, and my love for them has only grown stronger over the years! My most recent dog, Mila, was a huge part of my life. She had several special needs, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust when it comes to your pet’s care. Mila taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and unconditional love, and I carry that with me in how I care for every dog I meet. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. Whether your dog needs a strict routine, medication, extra potty breaks, or just lots of snuggles, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home! My husband and I both work from home, so your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and cuddles! We will make sure they feel safe and loved throughout the day. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play! There is also a designated ‘Dog Lounge’ for when your dog wants some alone time to take a nap or look out the window. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions to match your dog’s routine and needs, ensuring a safe, stress free stay.
“Hector treats each dog as his own while walking them. I had someone's loose dog attack my own and Hector protected my fur baby as if he were his own. He loves and protects him wholly each time Hector takes him out. Look no further - there is no better dog walker available in the city right now.”
About: As a dog "Mama" I know how important it is for our "children" to be safe,loved and happy. I provide a fun, interactive, safe and relaxing environment for your Pup. Working part time from home allows me to give a lot of myself and my time. There is a big Park near my home to walk and run in (weather permitting) and I have a decent sized fenced Yard. Max is the resident 13 month old Catahoula. He has been raised with lots of other dogs and lots of visits to the dog park (he hands out kisses to everyone ). Currently he is 30 lbs. and is full grown. We have two cats who don't mind dogs too much LOL. Both were raised with dogs,
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I’m very educated on dog safety and truly love and care for all animals. I have a wide range of experience with different breeds. I have cared for toy poodles all the way up to Dobermans. I have a rescued german shepherd mix named Duke and he is truly my best friend. Training Duke is one of my favorite things to do and I can help train your dog as well! I frequently foster dogs from the local animal shelter and have learned so much by doing so. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible! I work from home which allows me to give the dogs lots of attention throughout the day. Your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for walks, daycare, and boarding, and I’m flexible with scheduling to help meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where dogs are treated like family. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, routines, and needs so they feel secure and stress free. I’m experienced with many different breeds and sizes, and I always prioritize safe walks, supervised playtime, and lots of love and attention. For safety, if I ever need to step out briefly, dogs will be placed in their crates.

“Amanda has been a great dog walker for our puppy! She was extremely loving and caring to our puppy. Some of the things we appreciated about Amanda was that she was easy to get ahold, always on time, and consistent rain or shine. We had to move away from the area and wish we could have taken her with us. We highly recommend Amada to take care of your pet!”
About: I provide personalized care for all dogs, including gentle attention for senior pets and managing their specific needs. Your dog will feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for while you're away I am a student at Pacific Lutheran University and have tons of free time outside of my classes. I have a lifeguard job that I have to attend to but asides those two I am very available and flexible. I’m a college student at Pacific Lutheran University and can only care for pets in clients’ homes. With three years of experience caring for my dog back at home. He’s a mutt!

I provide feeding, exercise, and follow each pet’s routine. I make sure they stay safe, comfortable, and happy while keeping owners updated.
About: I have 10+ years of dog experience, including helping with labor and delivery twice! I currently do not own any pets, so your fur baby will have my fullest attention! I enjoy playing with, talking to, and loving on all dogs! In the past I have helped clients at their own homes. I have a flexible schedule, and enjoy taking dogs on walks. I do work part-time so my schedule is more flexible. I have flexible hours with my job so I am able to drop by your pup’s home almost anytime! I love to give your dog some love and play time with my fullest attention!
“Kate is awesome! She goes over and beyond just walking and visiting my doggie while I'm at work. For example, she raked the leaves on my front yard because it was getting bad and I was too lazy to do it, haha. She also coordinated with the San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition to trap my neighborhood cats, get them fixed, then release them back to the neighborhood. We have lots of cats here, so that really helped control the cat population in the community!”

“The only dog sitter who cared and loved on my dog exactly as I would have. I came with a TALL order on care for my Nico and Martin delivered at every step of the way. Hands-down!... the best in SATX. I absokutely recommend Martin for any dog (big and/orsmall). Martin has a knack for reading dogs and their compatibility with each other. He takes precautionary measures tailored specifically to each individual dog's personality, stamina, and emotional needs. Excellent communicator with humans too. What could be better than that?!”
“Arlene and her son took great care of our dog! She was able to relax inside or in the yard, and we felt more comfortable that there were no other pets in the house. Arlene is great about communication and sharing photos. We look forward to booking with her again!”

“This was a great first experience for me using Rover! I chose Sabrina because of her location and if I take a trip again she will automatically be the first one I contact again for future bookings.

“Great experience with Gabriela. She took our short-notice booking, communicated quickly, and took amazing care of our senior dog with multiple special needs. We’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Thank you so much to Sarah! She was absolutely awesome! She communicated so openly and willingly with us while she kept our boy, Kylo, for over a week. He has separation anxiety and this was his first time being away from us without getting sick. And it was all because she made sure to take complete care of his needs and made him feel loved enough that he barely even missed us. He came home happy as a clam and healthy as when we dropped him off! If you need someone to keep your dog, call Sarah. She’s awesome!”
“Carlson was very sweet with my pup and very patient about the whole process. She was kind and very accommodating I felt I could relax away from my dog and she gave daily updates so I could see how he was doing which put my mind at ease I would recommend them and will plan on using their service again.

“Our dog Franny had a wonderful stay with Tom while we were out of town! He sent us pictures of her adventures everyday, which was so comforting to see her having fun while we were away. She enjoyed spending time outside in their large backyard and really loved going on those long daily walks. Franny is already looking forward to the next time she can go back to stay there! 🐾”
“Leo loved staying at Kyungah’s house while we were on vacation. Kyungah sent regular updates about him & pics of him playing and having a great time. Leo was treated like a member of her family and I would 100% recommend Kyungah as a dog sitter.”
