Our fur baby goes on walks and plays with the kids and we receive daily "proof of life" pictures that we appreciate very much! No question about it that we will continue to use Katy!”
“We used 3 different pet hotels in the past but would like to give Rover a try. I like this setting a lot better. Patti is a wonderful pet sitter and really cares about my dog. Her home is clean and tidy. My dog came home happy with a doggy bag & detailed report card. Throughout his stay, Patti sent me photos of my dog at her house and neighborhood. The best part is that she take care of my dog only (one client at a time) so my dog has less chance of contacting any sickness from another dog in a group setting.”
“Abel & Alisa took my booking last minute when I could find no one else. They went above and beyond my expectations. It was my first time leaving my pups with a strangers and in a city I wasn’t from. I would leave my children with them after seeing the level of care they provided. I was in shock and if I could give them 50 stars I would. They are the literal doggie whisperers. They eased my mind knowing my pups were so well taken care, I mean they even made homemade organic treats and had jazz music time. BOOK THEM!!!!”
“Our pup Teddy is always well cared for here! Brian and his family are kind and caring people and we have used their services several times! Thanks for taking such good care of him!”

“Lilo had a such great time, treated like part of their family. Received multiple daily updates & photos & videos. Will definitely hire for future services, Highly recommend.”
“Sarah took great care of my pup. I would trust her anytime to care for her again. She updated me with pictures and re assured me that she was doing just fine. Mu dog even got spoiled with daily walks! If your thinking about considering Sarah to care for your pup, I promise your pup is in good hands.”
“Skylar is a great dog sitter. Our dogs were treated like family, and they loved their time with Skylar. From daily updates to ensuring they had plenty of playtime, we felt as ease. Definitely recommend Skylar 👌🏼”

“Steven and Randi were so amazing to Hudson and my last minute need of a pet sitter and of course kept me updated during his entire stay with pictures and messages. Definitely will be booking again.”
“Ann was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. One is old and cranky, the other young and hyper. She kept them both happy while we were away and really catered to their needs.

“We are so grateful for Kristen and her family for the wonderful care they gave Brody. They always kept us updated and truly made Brody feel at home. It means so much knowing our baby was in such great hands. I’m so glad we found them on Rover, and we will definitely be booking with them again! 💖”

“Tara is very thorough and goes the extra mile in taking care of my pets as if they were her own. I am definitely utilizing her expert care again and I highly recommend!”
“Once again Erica was great with our cats. Not only did she take great care of them and send great photos, but she also fixed a litter box issue and cleaned up a small mess left by one of them. She always does great job. I used “great” a lot in this review because that is the best word to describe how she takes care of our pets.”
“Rachel was great and you can see has a big heart for dogs. Professional and on time. Im sure my little guy will love having her attention. Highly recommend...”
“Very grateful for Courtney. My kitty is not the most pleasant but I’m glad she was able to provide company to her. Very communicative and flexible.”
“Destanie was such a great sitter. My fur babies automatically warmed up to her kind spirit. I was away for two weeks for Xmas and returned to the sweetest card and new cat toys for my fur babies. I really appreciate her so much for keeping them company while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again!!! 10 stars if I could.”
“Bronx adores Krysta. She does such an amazing job with his high puppy energy and big size. Jax is warming up slowly. She tends to be more reserved. We love the play time she gives to the dogs and are greatful to have her help.”
“I couldn't ask for a better experience with Tim. He was attentive, responsive, and carried out my (borderline unreasonable) instructions to the letter. My two cats took to him right away. (They trust nearly nobody; I was amazed by their immediate comfort with a new person.) Tim provided me with daily updates and I had no worries about their care while I was away. In short, Tim and Rover made me able to enjoy my vacation. Tim is my go-to for future sitting, full stop.”
“John is the best! He took great care of our cats, including one with diabetes. He handled the injections like a pro and kept everything running smoothly. Highly recommend him!”
“Aimee is wonderful! She has watched my elderly cats many times when we are out of town and they love her! I feel very comfortable knowing they are safe and happy when I leave town.”
“Lauren did a great job looking after Shadow & Willow. Although both are wary of strangers, they warmed up to her by the second day. We loved the pictures she sent. We will definitely use Lauren on our next trip.”
“Fantastic. Samantha is fantastic! She’s punctual, warm, and incredibly easy to communicate with. I immediately felt comfortable which is saying a lot for me as Ace’s mom. She’s also very responsible and respectful of my home. Ace loves her and gets sooooo excited to see her on walk days!! Don’t hesitate to contact Samantha—your search is over!”
About: I have grown up with cats since I was little. Like any animal they have a special place in my heart. I am reliable at cleaning litter boxes, following routines and showing up on time. My goal is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Adriana was so great! She took great care of our pup and gave him lots of attention. She checked in with me often and I didn’t have to worry about him while we were gone. I would highly recommend her!”

“Amazing as per usual. Kora goes above and beyond merely just caring for the animals. She takes care of the home as well. I worry so much about our fur babies when we are gone and it provides so much peace to know they are being well cared for by Kora. We have used her services multiple times and will continue to in the future.”
“Caryn went above and beyond in her care for our cats, including an emergency late-night visit to free our cats from the bathroom in which they had trapped themselves. We would recommend her to anyone in need of reliable pet care!”

About: Hello, my name is Diana! My family and I absolutely love animals, and with over 20 years of experience caring for pets, they’re more than just animals to us, they’re family. I grew up in a house full of wagging tails and purring companions, and now, as a stay-at-home mom, my husband, kids, and I continue that tradition. We adore our pets and know how important it is to make them feel safe, loved, and happy, especially when you can’t be with them. That’s why we started offering a little “staycation” for dogs, a cozy, fun, and loving home away from home. Your furry friends will enjoy all the love they deserve, with plenty of playtime, belly rubs, and cuddles. We’ll make sure they feel right at home with us. My two dogs, Bella (a Chihuahua) and Cookie (a Yorkie), are incredibly friendly and sweet. They’ll provide your pets with loving companionship and playful energy, making them feel welcome and comfortable. Our warm and cozy home has a spacious fenced yard that offers plenty of shade. Your pet will be free to explore both the house and backyard, as well as relaxing in their own comfortable space. I’m home all day, so I can provide frequent potty breaks and give your furry friend lots of attention. Daily walks around our friendly neighborhood are part of the routine, ensuring your pet gets plenty of exercise and stimulation. I also have experience administering oral medication and caring for senior dogs, ensuring they receive the attention they need. We’d love to welcome your pets into our family. So, if you’re looking for a safe and loving place for your dogs to stay, come join our Sleepover Squad! I’m available for boarding seven days a week, including weekends, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Rest assured, your dogs will receive all the care, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away. For drop-in visits and dog walking, your pet will be in great hands. I’ll give them all the care and attention they need, right in the comfort of their own home. Please share all the details with me, let me know if there are other pets in your home, any special needs your pet may have, or specific behaviors I should be aware of. Also, tell me what your fur babies love most so I can make each visit or walk extra fun and enjoyable for them! Communication is very important to me, so I make it a priority to keep you updated on how your pet is doing. I’ll send regular updates and pictures throughout the day or during the time of the visit to keep you posted. Additionally, we can schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay or visit to ensure everything feels just right for you and your pets.

Their home is warm and welcoming, and their daughters are so sweet with my pup. I got regular updates with pictures and felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

“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!!!!”

About: What sets me apart from other caretakers is the care and attention I give to every pet. Each pet is different they have there own personality and needs. I make sure that your pet feels loved, comfortable and is safe. I am dependable, patient, and committed to following your pets routine while keeping you posted for a piece of mind. I currently have a small business and I am a college student at UTSA. Right now I am on summer so I am flexible to walk your pet at any time. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of attention, and playtime when they want it. I also keep owners updated and make it a priority to be reliable, respectful of their home, and on time for every visit.
About: I grew up with all types of different pets in the household from dogs to guinea pigs to birds and even shrimp! So, naturally, I came to love for all animals! Loving them means to also care for them, so I had to provide care for each animal making sure they were properly fed, cleaned, and had a safe environment to sleep. What you can expect from me: * Quick responses * Reliable scheduling * Updates/photos during visits * Respect for your home and routine I currently work part time and go to school full time, but I still have plenty of time to dedicate to the loved animals of San Antonio. I promise to provide the absolute best care to your pets and to your homes. I will make sure your pets are kept safe and properly cared for. I also walk my dogs all the time, so I know proper handling and care when walking a dog.
“She has been nothing but amazing with my dog made me feel very comfortable of leaving my dog with a new person & 1st time using the app. Definitely recommend for someone to handle your bigger dogs.”
About: I've lived on a small farm since I was 10 where I've bathed, fed, and cared for multiple dogs, cats, chickens, goats and a bunny. Including puppies and kittens. Friends and family have relied on me to pet sit, provide grooming, medications, walks, and feed their pets. Often times stray animals will make their way into our yard and if they are injured, I'll care for them, feed them and foster them until I can identify their owners. I love all animals and consider each and every one of my pets as family. I am available during the morning and evenings on the weekdays, weekends, and on most holidays to care for your fur baby! At minimum, I spend an hour each visit to ensure your pet(s) are fed, clean, has had time to play and overall gets plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect and take care of the home and pet(s) as if they were my own. I create a fun, safe and comfortable space for both the owner and pet(s) as I continuously provide updates and/or photos of the pet(s) to the owners during each visit. Depending on the rules from the pet owner, at night I will ensure the pet(s) do get crated and are inside and safe for bedtime and dinner.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—growing up with big dogs and now sharing my home with three little ones of my own. I genuinely love caring for dogs and spending time with them—it’s second nature to me. One of my favorite things is seeing how excited and happy dogs get when it’s time for a walk! I also have experience giving medication, including pills, thanks to my schnauzer who has allergies. Whether it’s a quick visit or a fun stroll around the neighborhood, I’m here to give your pup the love and attention they deserve. I’m retired Air Force and loving this chance to spend more time with the animals I adore. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during late mornings, lunch hours, and early afternoons on weekdays. Weekends are a bit more limited, but I’m still happy to help when I can! Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a quick potty break, or some one-on-one attention, I’m here to make their day a little brighter. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner with a lively pack of three, I’m very experienced in managing multiple dogs and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously—whether it’s a solo visit or a group walk. I always follow your instructions, practice safe leash handling, and make sure every pet feels calm, loved, and secure. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your furry friend is in experienced, caring hands.
