She went above and beyond to make sure Neci was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It’s clear that Dawn genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing Neci was in such caring hands. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and compassion, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again or recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter. Thank you, Dawn! 🐾💛”
“Amazing experience! Michael was fantastic with my dog, Niko! He was very attentive and made sure Niko had his daily walks and two meals a day. Michael spent time playing with him and kept me updated 2–3 times a day with texts and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Niko looked happy and well cared for the whole time. I’ll definitely be bringing Niko back to Michael again—highly recommend!”
“Tia was great! I hope she’s around next time I pass through town. We were here to see family and couldn’t keep the pets with us. Tia was flexible about drop off times and took great care of our fur babies. Lots of pictures and gave our little chihuahua lots of snuggles. Everybody was happy and healthy when we picked them up. Highly recommended!!!”
About: Hi there! I work from home and recently lost my soul dog to cancer. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and now I’d love to open my home and heart to your furry family members. Whether you’re out of town or working long hours, I’ll make sure your pup gets the love, attention, and playtime they deserve. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor fun, and dogs are always welcome on the furniture because they’re family here! I also share my space with a friendly outdoor tortoise who loves soaking up the sun from our backyard. I’d be honored to care for your pet and make them feel right at home while you’re away. ❤️ I work from home, so pets fit perfectly into my day! We start with morning outdoor time, then lots of play breaks and cuddles throughout the day. I’m around for regular potty breaks, attention, and love your pets will feel right at home with me. In my home, pets are treated like family! They can relax on the furniture, play in the fenced yard, and get plenty of love and attention all day. When caring for pets in your home, I will try and follow your routine to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free.
“Sydney took such great care of my two small dogs and my lab. They are a handful as they all have different personalities and she did awesome. She welcomed in to her home and gave them a big yard to play in and let them hang out with her and her family. I would definitely recommend Sydney to care for your pets. Great temperament with dogs!”
“Emmarose was fantastic with Ranger! She provided regular updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear he was getting plenty of attention and care. She was attentive to his needs and even worked with him on training. I felt completely comfortable leaving Ranger with her and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I really appreciate all that Juliana has done in caring for my little guy. I can see he’s perfectly happy with her. That’s so important. It’s so hard leaving my little guy in the hands of someone else. So, it helps to know he’s in good hands.?”
“Wonderful experience with a seasoned sitter. Mollie was introduced to me by Rover and lives nearby. It was great to work with her and she had a great demeanor with my dog. They had fun and I looked forward to daily updates and photos. I felt my dog was in great hands and she seemed at ease with Mollie and staying in her home.”
“Karynne is a great sitter! My dog likes a car ride and Karynne took him to places on her car. She sent me updates and photos everyday. I appreciate that she took care of my dog very well!”
“Kristen and her family treated Kiko so well during his overnight stay. They took him on a hike, and cared for him like their own dogs. They sent regular photo updates and he came home tired and happy. Thank you so much. Will definitely be using their services again:”
“Karen has taken great care of Charlie on multiple occasions for short and extended stays. She is intuitive to his needs and follows our care instructions. He is happy when he arrives and enjoys his stay. We will continue booking with Karen for Charlie’s care.”
“Our pups just love Sarah and her precious family!! They are well looked after and have lots of playtime! We always feel so secure because she keeps us updated with pics and video updates.”
“Jackie was amazing! I had a family emergency and Jackie was able to watch Cooper last minute. I received multiple updates everyday. Great communication. I will be using Jackie again.”

“Diana watched my two cats on drop-in visits for 2 weeks while I was out of town. She was very attentive and took lots of photos of my babies while she visited with them. Best of all, I came home to clean litter boxes and well-fed, happy kitties!”
“Kitty loved having Megan check in on her! It was such a relief to know she was well taken care of while I was gone. I’ll definitely be using Megan again in the future!”
“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!”
“Cera is truly amazing. She met with me and my cat, Bish, before confirming the booking to ensure everyone was on the same page. I received regular text and pic updates throughout my trip away. She’s a vet assistant, which meant that she managed to give my cat his medicine—this is not an easy task with my cat! She did more than stop in and make sure Bish was fed. She spent a lot of time keeping him engaged (playing, working on his tricks, etc.) and happy. 20/10”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and detail-oriented pet sitter based in the Woodlake/Converse/Universal City area. I work full-time during the week, so I specialize in evening and weekend care, which is perfect for busy schedules or travel. I have my own dog and understand how important routine, safety, and consistency are. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and always take the time to make sure each pet feels secure and cared for. I offer: • evening drop-ins and walks • weekend check-ins (multiple visits per day if needed) • weekend pet sitting I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet is comfortable and your routine is maintained as closely as possible. I have access to military bases- so I am capable of attending to pets on base! I’m especially available for last-minute weekend plans. I do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings when available. For house sitting, I appreciate at least 24 hours notice when possible so I can plan around my schedule and my own dog. I work fulltime during the week, so my availability is some evenings after 5pm during the weekdays, but flexible availability on the weekends. I tried reflecting that onto my Rover calendar- but please don't hesitate to reach out with questions regarding my availability. ***Please Note: I have military base access- for military clients as well! I do have a fenced in backyard and a custom dog door in my own place. For in home visits, I would ensure pets receive the appropriate amount of outside and potty time, playtime, attention, food, clean water, and additional care as required. I would follow instructions given by owners if dog walking is requested- as I know people have preferences for how their dog receives exercise. The same level of care is given to cats as well- of course their needs may differ. Any accidents or messes made by pets during my care, I will clean to the best of my abilities.
“Jackie was so wonderful to our little old man Cruiser! She helped us out with a very last minute request and even accommodated additional time for his visit! She sent us photos and a video of our little man and informed us how his visit went (eating, drinking, no accidents, etc). We are very thankful we found Jackie to help us out!!”
“My 2 year old cat Midnight warmed up to Taylor right away! She did an incredible job communicating. Midnight can be timid but they had incredible fun together. I'm sure Midnight is looking forward to seeing Taylor again. I haven't had to use a cat sitter before but it's definitely worth the happy pet and the peace of mind Taylor brought.”
“I travel entensively for work and was in the middle of moving when I coordinated with Katie. She was very flexible and understanding even though I had a few problems with access for her that didn't get solved until about one day before I had to fly out of town. Katie was very communicative and shared lots of pictures and videos of Puddin. He was very happy with Katie's care. He looked surprised to see me when I got home from my trip! During one of the last visits, the apartment complex towed Katie's car, which was unexpected. She let me know what happened and how she dealt with it. I am reaching out to the rental company to find out how to avoid this in the future. Do not hesitate to use Katie's services. If the opportunity arises, I will definitely hire her again! She is Puddin approved!”
About: I have ten years of pet sitting experience, a year of Kennel Tech experience, and have had pets of my own practically since birth. What can I say? I love animals! I have experience with puppies/kittens, elderly pets, and special needs animals, including diabetic and hearing/sight impaired animals. I am focused and pay attention to detail to ensure that your pet is taken care of the way they would if you were home. I work in office from 9am to 2pm, and am working from home the rest of the day, so I can be with your pet nearly 24/7 and ensure their full needs are met. Your pet will be cared for exactly the way you would if you were home! Instructions are meticulously followed and lots of love is given to ensure your fur baby is as comfortable and safe as possible.
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jessica took such wonderful care of our cat during drop-in visits and truly went above and beyond what we expected. Her communication was exceptional she sent updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. You could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”
About: I've been around kittens and cats all my life. I myself have a cat I recently saved from the humane society. I've taken care of all age ranges up until the very elderly (blind & deaf).
“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.”
“Nevaeh did an incredible job looking over my cats and taking care of their needs. She sent me really good pictures and kept me updated on anything that came up. She was very quick to send responses to all of my messages.”
“Pamela does an amazing job! We cannot recommend her enough! Pamela is extremely professional, timely with updates, and gives our cats the best care. Her level of communication is wonderful. From letting us know when she arrives to a detailed summary of the entire visit and lots of great photos. We are so glad we have found such an amazing pet sitter who has made us feel so much more comfortable while being away from home. Thank you so much Pamela for the awesome service you provide!”

“Megan took the best care of my little girl. She even continued her care after my baby broke her leg. Megan gave her the pain medication as needed and on schedule, and most importantly, I was put at ease with her texts and videos giving me updates confirming she was giving plenty of TLC. I will definitely ask Megan to watch my furbaby in the future!!!!”
“Jackie is our favorite sitter. Highly recommend!! She takes great care of our pups, and I appreciate the updates during their visit. I feel peace of mind knowing they're with her when they can't be with us ❤️”
“Katie, her wife, and their three four-legged assistants are such an amazing team! I can be a helicopter pawrent but I knew that my pup was in safe, knowledgeable, and loving hands off the bat. Katie sent photos throughout the service and my pup was having tons of fun all the way until pick-up. They have a large yard for the pups to sunbathe in and run around. We spoke at the end of the service and they gave me a run down of how everything went and I greatly appreciated that especially since it helps me get to know how my pup is while I’m away. Overall, my pup had a great time and I had a peace of mind while I was away from him. They are the sweetest humans and pups!”

I currently have a Pitbull named Pitlet, a Chiewennie named weenie and another weenie named Preicess. They are my entire world. Don’t hesitate to message me and ask any questions at any time I’m always available and :) I hope to meet your fur babies one day I’ve recently been let go from work meaning, I will be available for your fur babies when the sun comes up till it goes down. I have a routine when meeting other dogs with mine. Involves with meeting each other one on one with them alone. Work great for them🫶🏼
“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.”
“Tambre was great! She accepted my VERY last-minute request to watch my pup for about eight hours. She was very accommodating and sent me photos of Wyatt enjoying himself outside with two other dogs. I highly recommend Tambre for your dog-care needs!”
“I am so beyond thankful I have found Melody to watch my pup. Pyper is a rescue pup and has some fears with new people and loud spaces. Before Melody, Pyper was terrified to go to sitters and leaving her was always a struggle. After day 2 of daycare with Melody, Pyper would run into her house, tail wagging, and get right to playing with her dogs. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Emmarose is very knowledgeable about dogs. She is very kind. My dog is a shy dog and he warmed up to her pretty quickly. She communicated well and gave me updates throughout the day. Will have my puppy stay with her again.”
“Debe was amazing!! You can tell she is incredibly attentive and really committed to helping new dogs adjust to her home. Lots of pictures and communication about how my little dude was doing. She understood his quirks and had no problem adjusting to help him. Cannot recommend her enough and I will be using her again for sure!”
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.”
“Ashlee is the best. She was the perfect sitter for our 5 month old puppy, super communicative, thorough, and accommodating. Your dog/puppy will be in the best hands with her.”
“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!”
“My first time using Rover and she was absolutely amazing with my 3 month old puppy! She sent many pictures, videos and updates which was very appreciated. 10/10 recommended her, thank you!”

About: Hi! My name is Victoria, and caring for animals has always been something I’m deeply passionate about. I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I learned how to safely handle multiple dogs, understand animal behavior, maintain clean environments, and provide attentive care in fast-paced settings. In addition to daycare experience, I’ve fostered kittens and cared for animals with a variety of needs, including administering medications through pills, liquids, and injections. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, meal prep, litter box cleaning, accident clean-up, dog walking, enrichment activities, and trips to dog parks. I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs patience, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I know pets are family, so I’ll care for yours with the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. I also love keeping owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time only 3 days a week and have a very flexible schedule outside of that, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Because I don’t have many outside commitments, I’m able to be reliable, attentive, and flexible with visits, walks, feedings, playtime, medication schedules, and check-ins. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority in my routine rather than just treating it like a job. I’m able to provide pets with lots of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the day, and I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my main priority is to keep their routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, litter box cleaning, medication needs, and any special care routines each pet requires. For cats, I make sure their environment stays clean and calm by scooping litter boxes regularly, refreshing food and water, and giving them attention based on their personality—whether that means interactive play, gentle companionship, or simply respecting their space. I also monitor their behavior and wellbeing to make sure they’re eating, using the litter box normally, and staying comfortable while their owners are away. For dogs, I focus on maintaining their routine through regular walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and enrichment activities. I also make sure they are safe on walks, properly exercised based on their energy level, and given plenty of attention and affection. In every visit, I treat the home with respect, keep everything clean and organized, and provide updates with messages and photos so owners feel reassured. My goal is always to make pets feel secure in their own environment while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for with attention, patience, and love.
About: *Back on Rover after taking a little break* We have two dogs of our own, so our home is full of toys, cozy beds, and a laid-back vibe. We both work from home and love having extra pups to cuddle and care for! Our dogs—Lu (an 11-year-old Aussie/Lab mix) and Austen (a 3-year-old pit mix)—are relaxed, social, and non-aggressive. That said, if your dog isn’t dog-friendly, no worries, we’re happy to keep them separate. I have a dedicated training room, and the dogs are given shifts throughout the day for outdoor time, play, and rest. Everyone gets space to decompress without stress, while my dogs enjoy their naps. I’ve been a professional dog trainer for over 5 years and have worked with dogs my whole life. I’m confident handling all breeds and sizes, and your pup’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests, I’m happy to help! I work from home full-time, so I’m home and available most of the day! Dogs in my care get a balanced routine with plenty of playtime, outdoor breaks, and rest time throughout the day. I always keep an eye on the weather and adjust outside time based on safe temperatures, so everyone stays happy, healthy, and comfortable. Your pup will never feel rushed or ignored, they’re part of the daily rhythm here! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I treat them like family. In client homes, I’m respectful, communicative, and always leave things just how I found them (plus one happy dog!). I love going on long walks or just hanging out with a pup who needs a potty break and some cuddles. At my house, things are really set up for daycare and boarding. The guest room is a cozy little doggy space - air-conditioned, comfy, and honestly kind of like a mini hotel. Dogs get a great mix of playtime, outside time, and rest, always with safety and comfort in mind.
“Demetria was fantastic, she put nothing but time and care into my boys while I was away for a weekend. She works fantastic, is very nice, punctual, and very flexible. Overall fantastic experience and I won’t want anyone else to walk my dogs in the future”

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: Hi, I’m Jonathan! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for them. Pets seem to naturally feel comfortable around me, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every animal I care for. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. That’s why I focus on reliability, communication, and following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, attention, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive patient and caring attention. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and loved while giving you confidence that they’re in good hands. I’d be happy to help care for your pet and make their day a little brighter! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, so making time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and companionship is something I take seriously. I understand that pets do best when they stay on their normal schedule, so I do my best to follow each owner’s instructions closely. Whether it’s a daily walk, drop-in visit, or caring for a pet while their owner is away, I make sure they get the attention, care, and comfort they need. In a client’s home, I care for pets by keeping things as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pay attention to their behavior, give them patience and affection, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of care. I also respect your home the same way I would want mine respected. I make sure everything is secure, I clean up after your pet (if needed), and provide updates so you know your furry family member is in good hands.
“Super communicative and truly takes the time to ensure the little details to make sure your baby has the best experience! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I previously bred German Shepherds and raised and managed a pack of 10 of my own dogs, which gave me a deep understanding of canine behavior, pack dynamics, and safely handling multiple dogs at once. Through my work with the American Kennel Club, I earned the distinction of Breeder of Merit, reflecting my commitment to responsible breeding, health standards, and proper care. I’m also an active member of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America and participate in the Schutzhund club community, which keeps me actively involved in training, temperament evaluation, and working-dog development. Because of this background, I’m comfortable working with energetic puppies that need structure and training, as well as senior dogs that need patience and attentive care. I’m experienced reading dog body language, preventing conflicts between dogs, and maintaining a calm, safe environment. Dogs tend to warm up to me quickly, and I genuinely enjoy working with them. I also love helping rescue dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m home full-time, which allows me to give dogs consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Because of this, pets in my care are rarely left alone and get frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and interaction. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to accommodate different routines, including puppies that need more frequent outings and senior dogs that benefit from a calm environment and regular care. I’m also able to work with last-minute bookings and different drop-off or pick-up times when needed. I provide a safe, structured environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. With my background raising and managing multiple dogs, I’m very experienced reading dog body language and carefully managing group dynamics. All new dogs are introduced slowly to make sure everyone is comfortable. I also require meet-and-greets beforehand so I can ensure a good fit and a safe environment for every dog in my care. Dogs are separated during feeding to prevent resource guarding, and I have crates available for dogs that are crate-trained or need their own quiet space to rest. Because I’m home full-time, dogs receive consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout the day.
“Pamela was great! I had to go out of town within a couple days and she was able to take care of my dog and was super flexible with everything! Couldn’t have asked for a better care taker!”
About: I have dog sat for a variety of breeds in 3 different countries of the span of 7 years ( Korea, Belgium, and America) .I have watched dogs anywhere from one day to a month at a time. Exercise is something I am into, so your dog will never be bored! I am currently a college student. With only two classes in person, and a pretty flexible schedule!

When caring for pets in your home, I will try and follow your routine to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free.
“Sydney took such great care of my two small dogs and my lab. They are a handful as they all have different personalities and she did awesome.
