We always receive LOTS of photos and Vinter is so happy and comfortable and cared for while we are away. Thank you so much!”
“Our dog Astro was in great hands with Karynne! She spent quality time with him while we were away giving us the peace of mind that we needed while on vacation.

My little loves absolutely loved being there and were so happy! I am so glad we went to Katherine and will definitely use her again. She truly is amazing and a blessing!”
“Megan was amazing sitter for Rocky! I am so glad that I found her with availability. I can see why she has the compliment of many return clients - she made both Rocky and me feel comfortable with him being away from home. Megan did a great job keeping me updated on how Rocky's stay was going and sending pictures of what he was up to while he stayed with her. Thank you, Megan, for taking such good care of my baby while he needed to be out of his house. We both appreciate you very much!”

“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.”
“Rachel was an amazing host for our puppy Max. She sent lots of pictures and videos, and regular updates, including walks and playtimes. He got lots of love and attention.

Cat caregivers near you - Saint Hedwig
“I was a repeat client of Jennifer's when she lived in Iowa and I wanted to leave one final review. She was amazing and we were very sad to see her move. She would drop in on my two senior aged cats who take daily medication. She is very good adjusting the rates for cats and was available on short notice a couple times. She went out of her way (helped once when we ran out of a medication), took great photos, and gave me thorough updates. I would highly recommend for any sitting you might need!”
“My fur baby was in the best hands while I was out of town. He loved Laura! And she loved him! She gave me many updates with photos that put me at ease while I was away. Would love to have her sit when I need her again!”
“I highly recommend Bella! This was my first time ever using rover and I was nervous about how it would go but Bella put my mind at ease. I have a dog that is nervous around new people and they quickly became good friends. Bella was attentive, on time and sent really great reports on how my dogs were doing on top of being affordable. I can't express enough how thankful I am that I booked with her.”
“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.”
About: I have my own cat, Lily, who I adopted and she is currently 4 years old. I've taken care a many diffierent types of cats since I was 8. I often took on strays from the neighborhood and adopted them as my own. I've cared for neighbors cats and my own for a long as I can remember.
“Emma was absolutely wonderful! Super sweet to my puppy & so patient. She gave me great tips as a new dog owner and was very communicative! Would definitely recommend!”
“Loretta exceeded alll our expectations. She was so kind and loving with our dog and cat and incredibly understanding when Linus (our dog) chewed! We are so thankful for her help and care and flexibility. We would recommend her to anyone and hope to use her services again!”
“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.”
“Shelby was great. I really appreciate that she was not fazed by Catalina’s medication or routine. Shelby was understanding of kitty nature and gave them their own time and space. They came back happy to be home but it was also evident that while I was away their routine had been taken care of and they had proper interactions.”
“I was very happy with the care Kristen gave my cats. My cats are very shy, but they came out for her by the 2nd day. I’m also happy that she was able to give my one cat his medication. Also, getting updates from the visits and seeing pictures helped put my mind at ease while away. I look forward to future visits.”
“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”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Saint Hedwig
“We just moved in the area 6 months ago. This is the first time we used Rover and the first time my fur babies will be staying in a different house. You can just imagine how nervous I am and also for my fur babies. We did a meet and greet before deciding to book. My husband and I were very pleased with the way they introduce our dogs with their own dogs. We are also very happy to meet everyone that will/might interact with my dogs. The first day I was nervous to leave them but Kristen made sure I received updates and pictures the whole day. She assured me that they are fine and they are having a great time, which they were. I really like that they are good with communicating with us and letting us know if they have questions or we need anything from them. I definitely RECOMMEND Kristen!”
“Jack had so much fun with Becky & her pup! He played all day and came home exhausted. She was super flexible with timing to drop off and pick up, and very communicative. We received several updates and pics throughout the day! Will definitely be our go-to in the future!”
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: 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.
“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.”

“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.”
“Janette was very responsive as soon as I inquired about her availability. As soon as I booked her, she continued to be responsive and was very friendly. The day I dropped my Lucy off for day care, Janette was very understanding, due to the fact that my Lucy has been out of her element the last couple of weeks as we had recently sold out home and had been moving from a friends home to another friends home, finally settling into our extended stay until our new home is built. So Lucy has not been in her normal routine and a little clingy than normal. But Janette was understanding and very caring and accommodating. She was awesome with Lucy. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Juliana was amazing. I was referred to her by another dog parent in my apartment complex, and I was hesitant at first because my Diva is my baby and I was nervous about leaving her with someone I did not know. However, Juliana took all my worries away from the start. I am going to book with her again because I have an overnight work event in about two weeks. I wanted to start with doggy daycare first so Diva could get used to her. Diva took an immediate liking to Juliana, her family, and her two dogs. I was also worried about my small dog being around two bigger dogs, but they were so gentle. If anything, my dog was the one picking on them from the videos I saw. All in all, I will be a returning customer. I trust Juliana with my baby. Diva was safe, well cared for, and I loved that Juliana kept me updated. I told her I was not feeling well, and even while I was in and out of sleep, I could check the videos and updates, which made it easy for me to relax and go back to sleep. This was a great experience, and I truly feel like this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship. I will absolutely be a repeat customer.”
“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!”
“Sashalyne did a great job of taking care of my Prince. Her 2 dogs are so sweet and fun. Prince made friends with then very quickly. Sashalyne sent me pics that allowed me to feel reassured he was truly being taken care of.”
About: I love dogs and have been around them for most of my life. I am a proud owner of a shiba inu(a true rascal) and I love him to death. Your dog will be in good hands with me. Word of caution: he/she will be spoiled with love! I currently work from home everyday of the week! When I am home, your dog(and cat) will have my full attention and be able to go on frequent walks. I have a fenced yard at home so your pet will have all the room to roam inside and outside. Your dog will have a darling companion(my shiba inu) to keep him/her active all day!
“Kenner was great. She accepted our last-minute booking and took great care of Dexter while we went to a game. Dexter became comfortable in her apartment quickly which gave us a good feeling. Highly recommend!”
“Jeffery and his wife are super friendly and accommodating. They've taken my reservations with little notice and my dog has fun and comes home exhausted. Will definitely book again!!”
“Snowflake was well taken care of for the day while we got to explore the not so dog friendly parts of San Antonio. Breanna was very responsive, friendly, and flexible making it a great experience for us out of towners!”

About: Hello Texas! I am a La Vernia area Rover contractor. I can service La Vernia, New Berlin, Marion, Adkins, and Sutherland Springs area, and possibly into Seguin or McQueeney. Just ask! 😊 I have a ton of special needs dog and cat experience Just let me know what you need! I'm excited to be here. As you can see from my Iowa reviews I was well liked and had several repeat clients. I will go out of my way to accommodate. I have also had a several dozen clients in Texas since starting here. Rover doesn't always give you an accurate number if there are multiple visits, mulitple animals, cats only, holidays, etc. I will adjust it! *I also do cat care: rates will depend on the number of cats, the number of days, and if there is a dog also. I will give each person a custom rate based on these. House sitting for cats only isn't an option, I will give you a custom cat visit rate (let's face it, they don't need me there all night!) : ) You can be assured you will always get a very reasonable rate. ABOUT ME: A have a lifetime of pet care experience. I grew up with cats and dogs and have had both as an adult (so that is a lot of pet years. 174 in dog years, I think). I have had two different seniors with special needs (one is with me currently). I love them all! My pets are members of my family and I treat them as such. I will do the same for yours. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, special needs, med administration, etc. Kitty will get love too! If I am house sitting or doing drop in visits while you are away, I can also take care of trash/recycling day, plants, mail. Just ask! Part of the reason we moved was so I could rescue animals. So far, just in Texas, we have rescued 120 dogs, cats, cows, and goats. 30 of the dogs and cats have gone on to be adopted in the Pacific NW and are loving their new lives. 😍 I can accommodate preparing/feeding their special diets if you have them on one (raw food, homemade dog food, etc). Any other questions? Please just ask! Leaving your pets can be hard. My goal is to make that easier for you! I also have a farm sanctuary and we have rescued dogs, cats, cows, goats, hens, guinea pigs, and rabbits. My hours are flexible and animals are my whole life! I am not currently taking animals in my home as I am full with fosters! At your home, I will spend time playing and/or walking on visits depending on client wishes when visiting their home for check-ins or dog walking. I am able to handle all size dogs and multiple dogs. I am able to handle medication administration and various medical procedures. I love cats just as much as I love dogs!

“My Bailey's home away from home!! Ok so a little background- my dog Bailey is a rescue who was physically abused by her previous owner. For this reason, she is utterly terrified of new people because she has a natural distrust for people following early life events. Kristen and her family originally spent time coming to my house to walk Bailey and spend time with her, and Bailey had been doing well with the new dog walkers! However, after learning about Bailey's concerns, Kristen thought it may improve Bailey's situation to have her spend the day at doggy daycare, and let me tell you, she and her family have done an amazing job taking care of Bailey!!! I've never seen her so happy every day when I come to pick her up (and probably even more happy to be dropped off :P). It's only been a few weeks and I can already tell Kristen and her family are making her feel at home away from home, and carefully allowing her to interact with other dogs and humans when Bailey is ready. I've been absolutely overjoyed seeing her improvement in socialization skills, and, really, just how happy and comfortable she is; makes my day! On a side note, following several meetings with a Behavioralist, I'm actively training her to help improve her anxiety and fear toward people. Kristen understands how important this is and has been ensuring Bailey is trained (in the same way I'm training her for continuity sake) while at doggy daycare, since I don't have the opportunity to train her several times throughout the day during the work week. Her obedience has improved, and better yet, she's starting to see new people with a different outlook; she's excited to make new friends! Thank you Kristen!!”
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: 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: 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. Whenever friends or family are out of town, I’m usually the one they trust to take care of their pets because they know they’ll be loved and in good hands. I’m currently a college student, so I’m in class from about 9 AM to around noon, but I’m free and available to care for your pet anytime after that 😊 I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home 💕 In my home, I keep things clean, calm, and pet-friendly with lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they’re always safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I grew up on a small farm taking care of various animals and I have loved animals ever since. When I got my own home I got my first indoor pets and cherish them as part of the family. 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. Getting to know the individual personalities and needs of each pet is vital to giving proper care. Their unique personalities is what makes pets so fun.

We are currently in the process of having him added to my Rover profile and are awaiting completion of Rover’s background check process. He is a military veteran who has successfully completed government background screenings and shares my love for animals. While I remain the sole caregiver responsible for your pets and booking services, I believe in being open with pet parents about who may be present during a stay. I have experience working with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide attentive and compassionate care as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! With pet care in need my schedule works around your schedule! I’m pretty open and flexible and can make last minute changes if possible.

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.

Note: unfortunately at this time I am not able to care for pets during work hours 8-5 on weekdays. I believe pets thrive best in their own familiar environment, so I provide care in your home to keep them comfortable and secure. At home, I have two dogs—one a senior who values his own space—so I understand the importance of respecting each pet’s personality and routines. I adapt easily to any type of home or setup and prioritize safety, consistency, and trust so both you and your pet feel at ease.
About: I’ve dog and cat sat for friends and family since I was a child. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I’m reliable and have the summer off so can be available quickly. I currently have the summer off so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I am available quick and can sit overnight in your home if needed. I am available to sit day or night in your home. I understand pets are family and so caring for them is of utmost importance to me.
About: I grew up with two medium sized dogs who are now seniors, and I’ve taken care of large energetic dogs as well. There is a large range of breeds and sizes that I’ve dealt with and loved! I’m currently a full time student three days a week, so I have plenty of time for pet sitting for the large majority of the week. I am able to take care of your pets from the comfort of their own home. I’m able to become familiar with the environment they’re comfortable in and keep them out of places they’re not supposed to get into!
About: I would be delighted to care for your babies while you are away. Tending to animals is never a chore for me; it's a pleasure. Will be starting a part time job soon with a highly flexible schedule. Let me know your needs and we can work out an arrangement! I own a kitten named Princess with a big personality that gets along with any animal. I can distribute your pets prescribed medicine if needed.
About: I’ve cared for many pets of various sizes and breeds over the years for neighbors and friends, even for some who went overseas for several months at a time. I am a teacher and I have a lot of spare time. My husband also works from home. We are flexible and can meet your boarding needs. I have secure, air conditioned kennels on a 1 acre ranch to meet all your pet’s needs for comfort and exercise. Doggy pools, splash pad, and toys included!

We always receive LOTS of photos and Vinter is so happy and comfortable and cared for while we are away. Thank you so much!”
“Megan was amazing sitter for Rocky! I am so glad that I found her with availability. I can see why she has the compliment of many return clients - she made both Rocky and me feel comfortable with him being away from home. Megan did a great job keeping me updated on how Rocky's stay was going and sending pictures of what he was up to while he stayed with her. Thank you, Megan, for taking such good care of my baby while he needed to be out of his house. We both appreciate you very much!”
“Maggs was great. She gave daily updates and pictures and there were plenty of dogs for our pup to play with. Bucky seemed to love her and didn’t want to leave. :)”
“Michael and Alice were amazing! My dogs were excellently cared for, and I wasn’t worried about them at all. I got lots of pictures and videos and they looked like they were having a great time. They were happy and well-taken care of when I picked them up, would 100% recommend.😊”
“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.”
“Rachel was an amazing host for our puppy Max. She sent lots of pictures and videos, and regular updates, including walks and playtimes. He got lots of love and attention. We could tell that Max was happy throughout his stay, and was well taken care of. I would definitely rebook, and highly recommend Rachel.”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone and I was definitely nervous about it. After just the first evening, I felt completely comfortable. I got daily pics and updates which definitely made me feel at ease. I would recommend Sophia and Kevin!”
“My very senior pet was taken care of. He struggled a bit at the beginning of the sit but adjustments were made to better accommodate his needs/personality and he became more at ease. I received regular updates and photos that showed him thriving. Will definitely book again with Sashalyne.”
“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.”
“I had a last minute trip out of town for a family emergency, and Allison was great at accommodating Banny. Allison ensured she was well taken care of while I was attending to things with family. My flights home were delayed, and although we got back later than expected, Allison was so kind. I felt awful because it was late on a weeknight! But it was not an issue at all once I finally picked up my girl.”
“Pamela was amazing! She updated us super frequently and responded fast, she was very accommodating. My dog loved her, we will definitely be booking again. 100/10 highly recommend!”
“t was our first time booking with Dae, and she will absolutely be our first choice whenever we need a sitter again! The booking process was seamless, her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated throughout our pup’s stay, giving us complete peace of mind. When our dog came home, it was clear she had been wonderfully cared for and treated like family. Dae truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter. She’s simply the best!”
“This was my second time booking Cassie and she was amazing on both occasions. She communicated well, she provided pictures and updated me on the status of my dog often. Her response time is remarkable. I will be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to sit their dog.”
