“It was our first time using Rover and Ashley was great with our puppy Buzz. She sent us updates and pictures during his time with her. We will definitely use her again!”
“Our 6 month old puppy had a fantastic time with Morgan and her beautiful family! Her children are lovely and gave him a great time and the best belly rubs. Morgan also provided timely updates and photos. Would definitely board again!”
“We couldn't be more grateful to Michaella for taking such amazing care of our dog while we were away. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease with her kind and professional approach. It was clear that our pup was not only safe, but also truly loved and cared for like one of her own. Michaella kept us updated with regular messages and the sweetest photos, which really helped us feel connected and reassured. Her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Our dog clearly adored her, and we came home to a happy, relaxed pup—which says it all. We highly recommend Michaella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and responsible caregiver. She's simply the best! 🐾”
“My dogs have a dog door and someone home pretty much all the time. They come and go out the door as they please and Cindy was able to provide a similar routine + her dogs = bonus friends! Cindy is a pleasure to work with. She is well equipped for the job and everything went smoothly. I I knew they were in good hands while I was away!”
“Awesome stay for our Koko. Ariel was very friendly and responsive from the get go. She made me feel at ease the whole time Koko was there. It seems like they treated her as part of their family. We will definitely be taking Koko there again!”
“Maggs was great! My dog, Henry, stayed with Maggs for over a week. He had the best time! Maggs sent us multiple updates and pictures/videos everyday. Henry is a high energy golden retriever and she kept him exercised and entertained the whole time - even when it was muddy outside! Henry loved playing with her pups as well! We will definitely be booking with Maggs again! Five Star!”
“Communication from the beginning was top tier and Emma was great with my baby. He seemed so at ease when I picked him up and his body language told me everything I needed to know. Emma is super easy to talk to, extremely sweet and friendly. Thank you for taking in my little guy, we’ll definitely be booking again when needed.”
“Hi Sophia and Kevin, Thank you both so much for taking such incredible care of Bombón over the past two days! We were so happy to see how comfortable and happy he was with you. You truly have a special way with dogs, and it means the world to us to know he was in such good hands. He's already missing you, and we're so grateful for the peace of mind you gave us while we were away. We'll definitely be reaching out to book you again the next time we need a sitter. You're the best!”
“Had a great first experience boarding with Joshua! Our dogs got along well and she seemed to have a great time. Would definitely recommend to friends and book again!”
“Our boys were super happy to spend the night with Karen. She was very accommodating of our dog's eccentricities and kept them happy and content. Home is clean and well suited for most dogs, we were overly cautious with this boarding due to a really bad situation with a non-rover sitter on our last trip, Karen alleviated all that apprehension.”
“This was my first time using rover and I can say the experience that I got was so good. Breanna did a good job of keeping me posted at all times and sending me pictures of my dog. This really eased my mind and made the time away from my dog easier.”
“Amazing family! Great energy they sent me photos and my boy was snuggled in a blanket and they gave him great treats will use tell everyone! I am grateful and my dog is too 🙌🙌🙌🙌 merry Christmas to y’all’s family 🎄🎄🎄❤️🔥”
“Kristen and her family we're awesome hosts for our two puppy's. We got pictures and texts throughout our trip, which kept our minds at ease. Kristen was able to handle our puppies who are still trying to get that hang of potty training, and one of our puppies tends to have a little medical issues sometimes and she didn't have a problem with watching over her. They gave them a bath and we're sporting some very fetch and dapper bandanas when we picked them up. Great people and awesome dog boarders!”
“Tia is amazing! My dogs didn't want to go home. Now I actually feel like I don't spend enough time with them. If I need a sitter in the future, I just pray she's available. Awesome job!”
“ANOTHER fabulous dog-cation! Vinter loves his time with Steve & Randi and Mika! He knows exactly where we are when we pull up to their driveway and he RUNS to their front door ready to play! We always receive LOTS of photos and Vinter is so happy and comfortable and cared for while we are away. Thank you so much!”
“This was my first time having to use a dog sitter and was not disappointed ? Loretta kept me updated with lots of pictures and texts of my old girl. Will definitely book again. :)”
“Melissa was awesome! Bella is my rescue dog that I have only had for a couple months. I needed someone to watch her at the last minute and Melissa jumped right in to help me. Bella is still very apprehensive because of her previous life. When we dropped her off, she was very anxious which made us worry about leaving her. Melissa knew exactly how best to care for her. She immediately put my mind at ease by letting me know how she was doing and taking pictures and videos. She also took Bella on 2 walks a day - which she loves. Because of Melissa I was able to enjoy my weekend out of town and not worry about how Bella was doing. I will definitely use Melissa again in the future.”
“I had to go out of town last minute and booked the weekend for Wendy to watch my pup at her house and she was fantastic! Wendy was very responsive to my texts and very flexible with timing of pick up and drop off. While I was gone, she sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated. Her daughter loved my pup as well and spent lots of time and attention with him. She has a nice backyard and two sweet beagles. My pup loved it there so much that he tried to run back upstairs when I went to go pick him up. Will definitely book with her again next time I'm in need of a sitter!”

“our first time using Rover and we're absolutely delighted! could not have imagined a better caregiver for our three pups! leticia & her husband were amazing with them and even went the extra mile to capture some breathtaking pics!”

“Such a kind and professional sitter! Sent great pictures and updates throughout her time with my pets, made it easy and comfortable to be away from them for the first time. Overall went above and beyond for my boys and I am so thankful! Would definitely recommend and would absolutely book with her again ☺️”
“Kara did an amazing job caring for my cat while I was away for 4 days. She kept food, water, and litter clean and fresh, and spent time entertaining and interacting with my cat during each visit. I especially appreciated the detailed updates and photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation. I would definitely recommend Kara to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Samantha was such a great cat sitter! She was friendly and experienced and clearly took very good care of our cat. She communicated great and sent awesome pictures. Can’t wait to use her services again!!!”
“Hayley did a great job with the drop-in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's was flexible with their schedule and great with our specific instructions. Would recommend and will use Hayley again.”
“Robyn was great. We got stranded by weather circumstances and she continued to visit our pets until we could get home two days later. Competent and efficient and the kitties were happy and purring upon our return”
“Katriana came to our house twice, in one day to feed and interact with our two, elderly and sometimes anxious dogs and cat. All of our fur babies loved her instantly on her initial visit, allowing me great relief in trusting her to their care. She provided detailed updates and pictures during her visits. We arrived home to calm pups and a chill cat. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs in-home animal care!”
“Honestly amazing! I was out of town when I noticed through our cameras that the autofeeder I had for the stray cats wasn't dispensing any food. It was a sudden request but Ashley was able to unjam the feeder and also offered to buy and refill the food when the food ran out. They even hid a package for me that was delivered while I was away so it wasn't stolen. For my first time using Rover I am highly impressed and thankful for Ashley. They additionally provide live updates and pictures during visits which is much appreciated. My request didn't require direct interaction with the cats but I think this is a reflection for how capable and reliable they are.”
About: I love my dogs and I will love yours to!! Your family member will have a great place to stay, and somebody to play with. They will be well taken care of and have everything they will need, food, water, outside, pet scratches, and belly rubs. We will be taking walks in a lovely neighborhood and spend some time at the park. You may not want them to stay to long or they may not want to go home. I look forward to taking in your family members while you are out of town or taking care of business. Either way you can rest easy knowing your beloved animals are here with me and in a safe place, I will be more than happy to do so! Thank you for your time and hope I’m a good match for you and your fur babies. I currently have free time at my home so I would love to spend some time with a friendly pet. I am currently a stay at home mom. I like to give attention when attention is needed to pets. If they want to play I will play with them or if they need to go out to potty, I will take them out. Anything your pet needs I will be there.
“She was flexible with my schedule and able to come at odd hours that I needed since I work evenings! She was great with the pups- played with them safely, fed them and sent detailed reports! Definitely going to book again!”
“Azjah did a great job of taking care of our dogs while we were out of the area. Received pictures and feedback every day to let me know how they were doing. Would highly recommend, and look forward to using her services in the future.”
About: I’m a Certified Professional Dog Trainer with a lifelong passion for animals. I started working with them at age 12 through 4-H, where I learned hands-on animal care and training. Over the years, I’ve gained experience not only with dogs, but also with cats, rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs, and other small mammals. My first real job at 15 was as a dog groomer, and I later worked as a veterinary assistant before moving into professional dog training, something I’ve now been doing for more than 25 years. Since May 2011, I’ve fostered more than 200 dogs and puppies, and three of my current dogs are “foster fails” who never left. I currently share my home with five dogs, three cats, two pigs, and about 75 chickens, though don’t worry, the chickens and pigs don’t actually live inside! Pet care is woven into my daily life, both personally and professionally. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, I spend much of my week working hands-on with clients and their dogs, teaching good manners, healthy habits, and strong communication between pets and their families. At home, my own crew keeps me busy and happy, I care for five dogs, three cats, two pigs, and a large flock of chickens. Feeding, training, enrichment, and health check-ins are part of my regular routine, and I genuinely enjoy it. Animal care isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s part of who I am and how I live every day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of bathroom breaks, enjoy playtime and enrichment, and receive any training or behavioral support the owner requests. I pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs, whether that’s extra exercise, quiet reassurance, or structured training practice. Because I’m a professional dog trainer, I naturally reinforce good manners and healthy habits during my visits. I also keep the home tidy, monitor the pets for any signs of stress or illness, and send regular updates so owners feel completely at ease while they’re away. My goal is always to make their pets feel cared for, safe, and loved, just like I do with my own animals at home.

“Kristen was an excellent dog sitter! She and her family were very kind enough to allow me to tour their home where my dog would be staying. I am very impressed with how responsive she was in our communications. Also, I appreciated the photo updates of how my dog was doing! Will definitely be visiting again in the near future.”

“Cindy is so great to work with! She made both Archie and I feel comfortable right away. Her home is well fenced and dog friendly. I think Archie knew right away that she is a dog lover. :) We will definitely be returning. PS: She sent me an adorable photo of my pup enjoying his play day.”
“Thank you so much Nereyda. So happy that Bo gets to stay with you when we come to San Antonio. I know he feels right at home and he’s so well taken care of. Super grateful as always!”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Morgan! I am a stay at home mom of 5 active children. We’re an active family but I homeschool so my children are home with me all day. I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats and various other animals from the time I was very young! My family has always had many pets around our home and my children absolutely love all pets as their own. Pet care would fit right into our daily routine. I have many hands that can help with pet care and ensure that your pet is very spoiled and well loved while in my home. We will not board more than 2 pets at a time. If the two pets are from different homes they will not be left in the same room with each other when we leave our home. Your pets safety while in our care is of utmost importance to me. I can crate your pet as needed or not. Take your pet on walks and make sure they are given plenty of attention and love during their stay in our home.
About: I've been working with animals for almost 10 years. I was a veterinary technician in private practice and currently work at an animal shelter. I'm fear free certified and have a range of experience from healthy, medical needs, and seniors. I'm comfortable administering medications and providing medical care. I work well with scared and nervous pets and make sure their time is stress free as possible. I also have personal and professional experience with pocket pets and aquarium pets. I work full-time but I make sure to plan accordingly for your pets needs. I have an extra bedroom that they can stay in, if not comfortable having them around other pets. I also have a kennel if they need down time or like to have a safe space to decompress in. I have 3 days off during the week and those days will be filled with multiple walks, play sessions, and anything else that will make their stay comfortable. I have a fenced yard and my 3 dogs love playing and taking walks throughout the neighborhood. I have a separate room and/or a kennel for any pet that's not comfortable or needs additional time to decompress.
“So thankful to have found Criss on short notice. We very recently moved here from out of state. So finding someone that understands my dogs health issues were very important. I was very happy to receive updates pics through out the day. Anyone who’s wanting a calm, safe and loving environment STOP scrolling and book. We will be back. Thank you again.”
About: Please note that Rover retains a 20% service fee from each booking, so my rates are set to remain fair while still reflecting the level of care and attention I provide. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every pet, and I take great pride in the quality of care I deliver. I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and reptiles—since a young age. Over the years, family members and friends have consistently trusted me to feed, bathe, and walk their pets, which has helped me build a strong foundation in reliable and compassionate animal care. I do have two young daughters, ages 4 and 2. They are very well-behaved around animals and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful—such as not pulling on tails or ears. I also work from home as a nail technician and run a small coffee/food business, which allows me to be present throughout the day. Because of this, your pet will receive consistent supervision, attention, and plenty of playtime. I’m very flexible and happy to work with you to accommodate scheduling needs, including times and dates. I offer a variety of toys and a spacious backyard where pets can safely roam and play. I also provide high-quality treats, including 100% beef or chicken options, as well as organic peanut butter cookies made specifically for dogs. In addition, I provide eye, ear, and paw wipes to help keep your pet clean and comfortable during their stay.

About: Hi there, my name’s Trinity! I’ve lived with pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and the gerbils that I researched months for before presenting my findings to my parents (they caved). Before earning my BA in Psychology, I studied animal science at TTU for two years in hopes to become a veterinarian. While my career has changed drastically, I still love spending time with animals and frequently volunteer with local animal shelters. I currently work two part-time jobs, one during weekday afternoons and the other on weekend mornings. My pets get their meals and walks before I leave for work. I am no stranger to a commute as a recent UTSA grad and as someone who is constantly driving all over town for work/volunteer opportunities. In fact, it gives me more time to listen to music in the car! I have an acre of land with a fenced in backyard with plenty of open space for your favorite child to run around. Our community is in a quiet country neighborhood, perfect for low-risk dog-walking.
About: Animals ranging from Sugar Gliders to cats and dogs to cows have been a part of my life since before I could walk. I used to foster medical case kittens when I lived in Georgia to increase their chances of being adopted into their furever homes I currently work part time, so I can love on your furbabies every day except for tuesdays and wednesdays until after 3 PM. Unfortunately, my home is not pet friendly, but I would love to come to your home and make friends with your animals. I am well-versed in most types of dogs- large and small, timid and excited that I exist, aggressive and love spongey. I have experience with pets working on their potty training and fur babies learning boundaries, as well as animals needing special medical attention.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around dogs — and raising my own Doberman, Skyla and Chihuahua, Bunny — I truly can’t imagine life without them! Caring for dogs isn’t just my job, it’s something I genuinely love. Dog care is my full-time business, so I’m home throughout the week to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I do not kennel dogs unless requested by the owner, but if your dog is crate-trained or prefers their own kennel setup, I’m happy to accommodate that in my living room space. We have a fully fenced yard for supervised play, exercise, and lots of tail wags. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns — I’m always happy to chat and make sure you feel confident leaving your pup in my care!

I’m a teacher who will be free most of the day starting in June. I prefer walking in the mornings before the sun gets to strong but I am free to do drop ins most of the day.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to care for pets at every stage of life. I’m experienced with training puppies using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also have strong senior-care skills, including helping with mobility support, administering medications, and keeping a calm, comfortable routine. I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m responsible for. I set aside dedicated times each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure each pet gets consistent attention. I’m very routine-oriented, so it’s easy for me to stay on top of medication schedules, training sessions, and any special needs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine exactly—feeding schedules, medication needs, potty breaks, and playtime. I pay close attention to behavior, keep their space tidy, and make sure they always have fresh water. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s, I prioritize safety, supervision, and consistency so pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, from tiny hamsters to big dogs. I really love being around them and feel like I connect with them easily.

“We couldn't be more grateful to Michaella for taking such amazing care of our dog while we were away. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease with her kind and professional approach. It was clear that our pup was not only safe, but also truly loved and cared for like one of her own. Michaella kept us updated with regular messages and the sweetest photos, which really helped us feel connected and reassured. Her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Our dog clearly adored her, and we came home to a happy, relaxed pup—which says it all. We highly recommend Michaella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and responsible caregiver. She's simply the best! 🐾”

I will maintain any schedules you have and will make sure your fur babies get extra love during your time apart. I'm currently a stay at home mom.

A comfortable loving home with a fenced in yard . 2 kids to give your pups extra hugs and a 6yr old shih tzu to play alongside your pups.
“Our big standard poodle had a great time on his doggycation with Shay. Her dogs and mine became best buds and played the whole time I think. Haha. Shay's communication was excellent and she kept us updated every day with lots of pictures and messages about how his stay was going. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“My dogs have a dog door and someone home pretty much all the time. They come and go out the door as they please and Cindy was able to provide a similar routine + her dogs = bonus friends! Cindy is a pleasure to work with. She is well equipped for the job and everything went smoothly. I I knew they were in good hands while I was away!”
“She was really good. She kept us updated and sent us pictures throughout my dogs day. She was really informative on what her and Penelope did throughout the weekend. She did a really good job on trying to keep our schedule as much as possible. I would definitely be using her in the future. We also did daycare for my dog as we were moving a few days prior and that was wonderful as well. She was willing to work with us on time and my dog loved it very much. I would recommend anybody that is looking for a sitter to go to Megan.”
“Awesome stay for our Koko. Ariel was very friendly and responsive from the get go. She made me feel at ease the whole time Koko was there. It seems like they treated her as part of their family. We will definitely be taking Koko there again!”
“Maggs was great! My dog, Henry, stayed with Maggs for over a week. He had the best time! Maggs sent us multiple updates and pictures/videos everyday. Henry is a high energy golden retriever and she kept him exercised and entertained the whole time - even when it was muddy outside! Henry loved playing with her pups as well! We will definitely be booking with Maggs again! Five Star!”
“I almost don’t even want to tell anyone how great she was so I can keep her to myself. I felt like my dogs were at home. The dogs had their own bedroom to sleep in and full access to clean backyard at all times. Her dog was an added bonus because my dogs loved to play with him. My dogs weren’t even eager to get in car like they usually are when I pick them up from somewhere. Definitely found our go to dog sitter!”
“Communication from the beginning was top tier and Emma was great with my baby. He seemed so at ease when I picked him up and his body language told me everything I needed to know. Emma is super easy to talk to, extremely sweet and friendly. Thank you for taking in my little guy, we’ll definitely be booking again when needed.”
“Absolute Best Rover experience. Cassie and her family were a perfect fit for our baby mini golden doodle and 11 yr old pitbull! Looking forward to many more sleepovers. 🙏🏽🙂”
“Hi Sophia and Kevin, Thank you both so much for taking such incredible care of Bombón over the past two days! We were so happy to see how comfortable and happy he was with you. You truly have a special way with dogs, and it means the world to us to know he was in such good hands. He's already missing you, and we're so grateful for the peace of mind you gave us while we were away. We'll definitely be reaching out to book you again the next time we need a sitter. You're the best!”
“Had a great first experience boarding with Joshua! Our dogs got along well and she seemed to have a great time. Would definitely recommend to friends and book again!”
“This was my first time using rover and I can say the experience that I got was so good. Breanna did a good job of keeping me posted at all times and sending me pictures of my dog. This really eased my mind and made the time away from my dog easier.”
“Amazing family! Great energy they sent me photos and my boy was snuggled in a blanket and they gave him great treats will use tell everyone! I am grateful and my dog is too 🙌🙌🙌🙌 merry Christmas to y’all’s family 🎄🎄🎄❤️🔥”
“This was Allison’s second time watching Scooby, and once again she did an excellent job. She’s attentive, patient, and truly caring—making sure he’s well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, happy. Throughout our vacation, she kept us updated with pictures which we really appreciated. Scooby loves to cuddle, and Allison made sure he got plenty of attention and affection. It’s clear he enjoys his time with her—it’s like a vacation for him too. She’s also very responsive and keeps us well informed, which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. We already have another trip planned and will definitely be using her again.”
“ANOTHER fabulous dog-cation! Vinter loves his time with Steve & Randi and Mika! He knows exactly where we are when we pull up to their driveway and he RUNS to their front door ready to play! We always receive LOTS of photos and Vinter is so happy and comfortable and cared for while we are away. Thank you so much!”
“This was my first time having to use a dog sitter and was not disappointed ? Loretta kept me updated with lots of pictures and texts of my old girl. Will definitely book again. :)”
“I had to go out of town last minute and booked the weekend for Wendy to watch my pup at her house and she was fantastic! Wendy was very responsive to my texts and very flexible with timing of pick up and drop off. While I was gone, she sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated. Her daughter loved my pup as well and spent lots of time and attention with him. She has a nice backyard and two sweet beagles. My pup loved it there so much that he tried to run back upstairs when I went to go pick him up. Will definitely book with her again next time I'm in need of a sitter!”
“My pup, Archie, and I had a great meet-an-greet with Dawn. She took the time to let Archie wander through her lovely home and get to know the backyard (Archie's favorite place). We were both looking forward to Archie's scheduled visit. Unfortunately, my husband caught the flue and we had to cancel. Dawn was absolutely charming and understanding! She is so easy to communicate with answers text messages almost immediately. I'm looking forward to rescheduling.”
“Pamela was fantastic! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the day with lots of photos and detailed reports. It was clear my dog was happy and comfortable staying with her. I really appreciated the communication and attention to detail. Highly recommend Pamela and would definitely book with her again!”
