“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.”
“Megan was awesome! My pup didn’t want to go home! I received plenty of pictures while I was away and she made me feel like my puppy was in good hands. She will definitely be my go to sitter!”
“Karen did an amazing job caring for our two fur babies. From beginning to end she was communicative. She has various areas for the pets she cares for. She follows diet and routine information and sends periodic updates. She opens up her home to welcome them as if they were her own. I would 10/10 recommend!”
“Britnee was amazing with our little schnauzer. She sent pictures frequently and daily, which left us feeling comfortable knowing he was in good hands. He even looks happy in the photos! We are very thankful for her! She was great with our pet.”
“Ashley was AMAZING! My pup was very happy and had so much fun with her. She was always sending pictures of him and making sure I was comfortable. If you need a trustworthy and loving sitter for your dog, book with her.”
“I have left my boy for 9 days with Lisa. She and her family had taken vey good care of Hugo!! By the time they dropped him back, he is healthy and clean. I see that he still misses them and wants to go back. Thanks Lisa for taking such good care of Hugo!! I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS SITTER!!!”
“Sarah was amaaazing!! She genuinely loves dogs and knows how to make them feel at ease including we "the parents." Her husband Nick shares with her this genuine love for dogs and it shows. Our Coco stayed with them for 12 days while we were in Europe! Sarah took the time to keep us informed daily about how our Coco was doing. She texted us daily and sent us pictures AND videos everyday as well. From the moment we met Sarah and Nick we sensed that they were definitely a "perfect fit" for our Coco. She cares for small dogs only and that was an important factor for us because our maltepoo is very small and being among bigger dogs was a concern for us. We're planning on traveling next year again... Guess who we'll be contacting? Yup! Sarah and Nick... Thank you guys for being just the way y'all are...♥️??♥️ Thank you Rover.com (easy and very complete site/app.)”
“We were very impressed with Esther from day one. Our Chihuahua/Terrier mix named London had such a wonderful time. London was able to interact with the other dogs and gain the interaction she does not receive on a daily basis. It truly felt like a doggy daycare in a warm, home setting. We have booked future dates and look forward to working with Esther more in the near future.”
“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!”
“Juan was amazing! Bucky had an amazing time, I really appreciated all of the photos and he even worked on some training with him. He was also very flexible with me, which I am so grateful for.”
“Max is absolutely awesome! My dogs love being with him and he takes excellent care of them. He will even cook for my bougie babies. He sends me pictures every day so I can see how they are doing. I highly recommend Max as a sitter.”
“I’m so happy that I left my babies when Breanna! Right after meeting her I felt so at peace knowing my Babies where going to be in good hands🥰 Breanna was awesome and very trustworthy!”
“We contacted Tambre just a few days before we needed a sitter and she was available to watch both of our miniature schnauzers for the day. She is very friendly and we felt at ease with leaving our dogs with her. She kept us informed by posting pictures to the Rover website. We will definitely use her again!! ”
“Anna was great! My dog is really shy and it was great to see all the updates Anna would send so I could see her comfortable and having a good time. Will definitely book again!”
“Patti was very professional and committed to make me feel calm and relaxed by leaving Bibi with her. She sent me pictures and reports during their care. I absolutely will book with her with no doubt if I needed to. Thank you Patti”
“Dawn was great with our pups! We did a meet and greet before we left for our trip and felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her. Our pups can be a handful sometimes, but Dawn was so good with them. We really appreciated the daily pics and updates while we were away on a trip. Would definitely recommend!”
“Tamara has watched my girl several times. She is the greatest when it comes to communication, trust and care when it comes to my girl. She is excellent to work with. She has been the greatest addition to my family, due to her professionalism and care. My dog absolutely LOVES spending time with Tamara and her pack.”
“Janelle did a wonderful job caring for my Tommy. When my daughter dropped him off, she was pleasantly surprised by how many thoughtful questions Janelle asked to learn more about him. It was clear she wanted to make sure Tommy felt comfortable and didn’t miss home. I really appreciated the updates and photos—though I would have loved even more pictures, I always felt reassured knowing Tommy was in such good hands.”

“Kristin checked in on our cat while we were on vacation. Usually he hides when we are gone, but he came out and greeted her on a few occasions. Kristin's communication was excellent and she took good care of our cat. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“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.”
“Melisa was prompt and communicative, responded quickly to a last minute booking request that came up for unexpectedly - overall a great experience. I would book again when the opportunity arises.”
“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.”
“Thanks to Megan we were able to go on vacation and have some peace of mind! Daily updates and pictures were just the cherry on top. She was great with our two cats and even helped out with watering our plants. We will definitely be calling Megan again!”
“Matthew was awesome and super flexible while dropping in on our 2 cats! We had some ongoing construction which made the situation at the house a bit more difficult to navigate, and he was super communicative, helpful, and cleaned the cats' area up a bit for us before we returned home!”
“This is my second time using Sara to house-sit my two bengals. She is very consistent with updates and sends lots of pictures and videos. When I came home today, my cats were not interested in me, lol, but that’s a good thing they seemed happy and tired from a fun sleepover with Sara. I plan on using her for all future bookings.”
About: I’m comfortable caring for cats and understand their need for a calm, low-stress environment. I respect their space, follow feeding routines carefully, and ensure litter areas are kept clean and maintained. In the last two years, I cared for two senior cats through complex medical needs, including end-of-life support. I’m comfortable providing gentle, attentive care for older pets and following detailed instructions.
“Araceli was quick to respond to the initial request, handled a couple of unexpected surprises like a pro, and was very flexible/worked with our schedule which was really nice since one of our kitties needs insulin shots 2x daily. She was also great with serving multiple course meals to get the kitties to take their meds which put me at ease so I could enjoy our vacation.”
“Roxanna did a fantastic job with my dog, Opal. Roxanna connects naturally with dogs, she has great communication skills, and follows directions. I would recommend Roxanna to any pet owner.”
“Ericka did a great job taking care of our cat. We appreciated the updates with photos; it looked like they got along great. We would definitely hire Ericka again!”
“Ben was absolutely fantastic. I have used him since this stay and am so happy to have found him. My dogs get so excited when he visits. He is the best!!!!”
“Destiny was really great! She was super responsive, and I loved all the photos and descriptions. I could tell she really enjoyed taking care of my cats, and that they enjoyed spending time with her! :) She is wonderful as a sitter, and I highly recommend her!”

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.
“Mollie watched my dogs super last minute, which was so appreciated! They were only there for 4 hours but we received multiple pictures and updates and they seemed to settle in super quickly! She definitely took great care of them and is a true animal lover!”
“This was my second time leaving my puppy with [Sitter’s Name] and their wonderful family, and once again, they were amazing! 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!”

About: Hi my name is Kayla, I’ve lived here in San Antonio for 8 years before that I lived in Laredo with a family of Pitbulls. Mom, dad, and all of their babies. I have had a lot of experience owning many different animals including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and turtles. 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🫶🏼
“Nacho was in great hands with Iliana and she took very good care of him. She is very attentive and understanding which was important to us considering Nacho is still very young. Iliana also sent updates during the day which ensured us that Nacho was doing good.”
“Debe was amazing! She was caring from the moment Codey and I met her at the door. She sent me some updates via photos and one video that kept me reassured the entire time I was away from my beloved pet. I definitely would use her services again and highly recommend her.”
“Sarah was a fantastic sitter for our Maltese. She kept us well-informed of how things were going with pictures and texts. Our dog was very excited to play with Sarah's Maltese and hang out with her family. We'll certainly use Sarah again for day care services!”
“Cannot say enough good things about Cathy!! Excellent communication and pictures, plus very accommodating to my whacky work hours. My dog can be reactive with bigger dogs, but Cathy was a pro and Bentley is clearly an angel with smaller dogs. You can tell she prioritizes safety and comfort with all the dogs she cares for, and adjusts introductions as needed. Total success! I can’t wait to book with her again :)”
About: For the past 40 years, dogs have been the heart of my home and my greatest joy. I’ve lovingly cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds , from small purebreds like Pekingese to medium and large dogs including Chow Chows, Dobermans, Rottweilers, and various lovable mix breeds. Each dog has brought unique happiness and taught me so much about giving them the care, routine, exercise, and affection they need. I only take one dog at a time so I can give your pup my complete attention. When you leave your furry family member with me, they’ll be treated like my own showered with love in a calm, safe environment in my San Antonio home. Your dog will never be just another guest, they’ll be treated like family. First, I try to know more about your dog , normal schedule, favorite toys, commands, what they fear and what they like. Building trust is going to be essential so my focus would be to create a bond with your pet. Consistency, patience, and love is what’s going to get us there. Your dog will have their potty breaks, morning walk or play time I have a two bedroom condo, one bedroom is mostly used as an office, I also have a large living room with a large balcony with views of large mature trees where we have visits of birds and squirrels.

“Max was wonderful with Leo. Leo never goes to a sitter so wasn’t sure how he would do but he seemed right at home. I think he got spoiled. Thank you for taking care of our baby so well. Our next trip back to San Antonio we will definitely be calling in you again.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life- dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, rats, hedgehogs, etc. Anyone who knows me knows I have such a big heart for animals and am truly amazed by them. I am currently in school to get my degree in biology to use to work at the San Antonio Zoo in animal conservation. I am trusted by all friends, family and coworkers to pet sit- I even have experience in administering medication to pets and experience in caring for senior animals. I believe all animals deserve love and respect no matter their size, and I promise to take care of your pet like my own. I currently work as a manager at a coffee shop, so I don’t mind getting up early or staying up late to take care of your pet. I am not on a fixed schedule, so week by week it may change but I will always have time to care for your pet. I am a very aware person, and I know how much pets are part of the family. I will ensure that no animal gets out and that their routine is accounted for at all times. I believe in making sure animals are well taken care of- physically and emotionally.
About: Ive grown up caring for dogs since I was a kid. 8 years ago I had the pleasure of becoming a dog mom to a German Shepherd. I will often also take care of my brothers herding dog at the same time. I am used to caring for two large dogs at the same time including walking them twice a day. I often dog sit for family and friends over the last 6 years, including dogs and cats. My own GSD struggles with separation anxiety and social anxiety so I have become really good over the years of prioritizing walk times that will ease his stress. I am happy to accommodate to any time a fur baby may need their walk times adjusted to reduce other animal interaction. My GSD is around 100lbs and often gets excited, so I am more than able to handle any size dog that may get excited for anything even squirrels! I am a full time grad student but around that schedule I have time most mornings and evenings to walk and play with all animals. I am open to animal sitting most nights depending on my exams for that week. I can easily crate dogs due to experience crating my own dogs. I am comfortable feeding all diets to any animals, giving baths, walks, etc.
About: Dog lover and experienced pet caregiver with 12+ years as a proud dog mom to my sweet chiweenie, Max! I’ve cared for family pets for nearly two decades and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels — from playful pups to senior dogs needing a little extra TLC. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication administration, feeding, cuddles, belly rubs, or just a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I’m here to help. I love getting out for sniff-filled strolls, step goals, and leisurely neighborhood walks tailored to your dog’s pace and personality. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while in my care. 🫶🏼 I currently work from home with a flexible schedule to accommodate drop ins or walks throughout the day with my best availability in the mornings, lunch, or late afternoon. I can also be available on weekends! I am always sure to stay calm around new pets, letting them warm up to me before we get started. Whether they are ready to roll and get to stepping, or want to lounge about with cuddles and attention I always take my queues for what they need.
“I am so lucky to have found someone so amazing to walk my puppy Moose! Demetria went above and beyond for Moose! She was amazing at communicating and allowed a meet and greet before our official booking to make sure Moose and I were both comfortable and at ease. She sent lots of pictures which made me feel really happy about how Moose was being treated! She also left a really thorough summary of their walk. As someone that feels so bad leaving my dog, Demetria sure made me feel at ease! I cannot say more good things! She went above and beyond!! You can tell she truly loves dogs and will treat your own furry friend like her own!”

“I’m so happy that I left my babies when Breanna! Right after meeting her I felt so at peace knowing my Babies where going to be in good hands🥰 Breanna was awesome and very trustworthy!”
“We contacted Tambre just a few days before we needed a sitter and she was available to watch both of our miniature schnauzers for the day. She is very friendly and we felt at ease with leaving our dogs with her. She kept us informed by posting pictures to the Rover website. We will definitely use her again!! ”
“Anna was great! My dog is really shy and it was great to see all the updates Anna would send so I could see her comfortable and having a good time. Will definitely book again!”
“Dawn was great with our pups! We did a meet and greet before we left for our trip and felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her. Our pups can be a handful sometimes, but Dawn was so good with them. We really appreciated the daily pics and updates while we were away on a trip. Would definitely recommend!”
“Janelle did a wonderful job caring for my Tommy. When my daughter dropped him off, she was pleasantly surprised by how many thoughtful questions Janelle asked to learn more about him. It was clear she wanted to make sure Tommy felt comfortable and didn’t miss home. I really appreciated the updates and photos—though I would have loved even more pictures, I always felt reassured knowing Tommy was in such good hands.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.😊”
“Rita was excellent! She sent many updates during our trip and my dogs really enjoyed their stay. I will be using her again in the future! Thank you so much!”
“Alana was super sweet and took great care of our Riley Roo!! She communicated with us in the morning and evening with cute pics of our pup and was very accommodating to our wishes. It’s clear she’s a dog lover through and through. Highly recommend her :)”
“Cathy did a wonderful job with Monty. Her dog Bentley was lovely and they got on well. Monty hates thunderstorms and barks incessantly when they are happening, and as luck would have a severe storm passed through while she was boarding him. She was able to give him his medicine and keep him calm, and to text me on how he was doing. Would recommend highly.”
“Jesse has been absolutely incredible with Rocco. He went above and beyond in caring for him, and it was clear from the start how much he genuinely cares about the animals he watches. Rocco was comfortable, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time, which gave me real peace of mind. Jesse was also super communicative and flexible, and really helped me out during a hectic stretch when I needed reliable support. I truly appreciate everything he did. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like their own.”
