“My Frenchie used to stay in a boarding kennel when I traveled for work but then I found Stephanie on Rover and I’m so glad I did. She and her husband take great care of Ammo and send me pics while I’m gone.”
“Our puppy stayed with Max for a week and we are so grateful to him! Max sent so many pics of different moments of the day and we could just see how happy she was with him! We could tell how much fun she was having, how well taken care of she was, how safe she felt with him. Max will be our forever puppy person!!!! Don’t think twice about booking with him!!!!”
“Breanna is fantastic to work with! Everything you'd want in a host - very responsive, caring, flexible about timing for drop-off and pick-up, and a genuine animal lover. She checked in with daily & kept me well informed by sending pictures of Chorizo getting along with her family and pets. We recommend her 110%!!”
“Abel and Alisa are amazing! It is easy to tell by the photos they sent that my fur baby was having a wonderful time at their “resort”! When we picked her up she was calm and well rested after much fun and a good night’s sleep! Thank you another wonderful experience and for making it easy to leave our pup while we’re away!”
“Karen is a fantastic dog sitter! Our 12-year-old, deaf chihuahua mix was so, so happy to stay with her. She sends updates and photos daily so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. She took our dog on two walks a day, spent time outside with her, and made sure she ate (she is a very finicky eater, so that’s always a concern of mine). We will definitely be back! 😊”
“Patricia was very helpful as she helped take care of Toro during Easter weekend. It was only the second time we had left our beagle under somebody else’s care and it was a very good experience for both our dog and us. She walked Toro on a daily basis and played with him throughout the day. We appreciated her sending us videos and pictures of Toro during his stay as this made us even more sure he was in good hands. 100% recommended.”
“Our dogs have stayed with Dave multiple times. He has provided our best Rover experience by far. His experience shows in the way he supervises all the dogs interactions and our pups come home exhausted from play but happy and healthy. He is prompt with communication and extremely helpful. We will continue to use Dave as our preferred sitter in the future.”
“Yoana kept our puppy for a long weekend. It was our first time leaving town without her and it was really hard. But Yoana answered a thousand of my questions beforehand and eased any concerns. She also kept us updated with photos the entire time. We were grateful for her help and would definitely use her again!”
“Debe took great care of my Schnoodle, Barkley, who was totally spoiled by having her pups to play with and a doggy door, even! She was really good about sending updates, and I would definitely use her again.”
“Divya was absolutely amazing with my dog, Brodie. She kept me updated the entire time with detailed messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She reassured me before my flight not to worry and truly paid close attention to him, updating me on his behavior and how he was settling in. What stood out most was how intuitive and patient she was. She understood his personality right away, gave him space when needed, and handled everything calmly and confidently. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I felt completely comfortable having Brodie in her care. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Olivia is an absolute angel. She's a Cavalier mom who knew the needs of my cavalier. My dog Lady Jane was welcome as family. The photo updates were so welcoming. I cannot sing enough praises about Olivia. She's my official dog sitter now when I have business trips!”
“Amy took great care of our dog Brody for 3 nights. He has never been away from us for more than a day. She updated us daily with pictures of dog walks, nap time and feeding time. Brody enjoyed his stay and got along great with Amy's dog T-Rex. We highly recommend Amy as a host. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“Anna took care of my Australian Shepherd, Maggie, for about a week. She is 2 years old and high energy and fit perfectly in Anna’s home. Anna has other dogs over and a back yard, so plenty of space to play. I look forward to boarding with her again!”
“Tania has done it again! We enjoyed our trip even more knowing our Phoebe girl was so well taken care of and having a vacation of her own. Tania’s communication is phenomenal and so is her flexibility. We are so happy to have someone we can trust with our fur baby. Thank you, Tania!”
“Jackie was such a great sitter for our golden retriever! She sent pictures and gave updates daily, which was so nice! Will definitely rebook in the future!!”
“Fernando is a dog whisperer. My dog does not accept others easily but Star enjoys Fernando’s care so much that he wanted to go with Fernando when Fernando dropped him off. I am highly pleased with Fernando’s care of Star. I will definitely ask for his help next time I have to board Star.”
“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.”
“Cathy was wonderful from the meet up and throughout the stay. We were out of country and hated leaving our babies but she comforted us with lots of updates and pictures! Our dog and hers loved each other which was great! My old bulldog loved the couch and chair with lots of pillows and blankets. We did not have to worry about them while we were so far away which was great!”
“Alana is so kind and did a great job caring for our pup over the Christmas week. He came home happy, smelling great, with the cutest bandana and a little Christmas gift. Totally spoiled him! He came home tired from playing with her pups, too. Definitely recommend Alana!”
“Great communication while watching my dog. My second time bringing him to her. She makes sure to give him all the attention he needs which my dog is all about head rubs haha. I would recommend her to watch all of your pups”

“This is the second time we've booked house sitting services with Sarah and she is the epitome of a professional. She's reliable, communicative and great with our kitty, who always seems relaxed and happy when we come home. Sarah always gives great updates, and is super easy to work with!”
“Olivia was amazing! She came by to feed our senior cat who only eats wet food. We also have other cats that can make things tricky since they always want that food too, but she followed our instructions perfectly and handled it with no problem. It’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy come into our home and care for our pets. We’ll definitely be booking with Olivia again!”

She was extremely responsive and quick and 100% I will be coming back if I’m ever out of town again,, especially since you n Venus are besties now XD Thank you again!!!!”

About: As a pre-veterinary student, I am currently seeking a little side business to help me pay for my education. I work as a veterinary technician assistant at my neighborhood animal hospital. I've worked in veterinary care for the last two years, dealing with animals. I've been working with animals for more than five years. I am able to raise awareness about the need of animal welfare. Additionally, I have a lot of abilities and can provide medication to any pet that is currently on medication if necessary. In terms of providing services for each healing pet, I am knowledgeable with post-operative care. Someday in the future, I want to further my education. Please message me with any queries or worries. Since I work part-time at my local animal hospital and have most weekends, including two days of the week, available, I have chosen to take online programs in the meantime. Those with hectic schedules can benefit from my services. Being able to provide for animals as much as possible when I can makes me happy. It can be stressful to entrust your pet to someone else, but I'm here to help. In the field of animal care, I hold numerous credentials. I am a trained veterinary technician assistant with training in animal behavior. I have also worked as a kennel technician for two years.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for small dogs (under 40 lbs) for years—originally for friends and family, and more recently for clients through Rover. I also had the honor of caring for my own senior dog during the final stage of his life, an experience that deepened my understanding of the needs of aging pets and taught me the value of patience, empathy, and attentive care. I currently share my home with my energetic senior English Springer Spaniel/Blue Heeler mix—equal parts cuddlebug and goofball. Living with a disability has never limited my ability to provide a full, enriching life for her or for the dogs I care for. I’ve developed safe, effective strategies for training and daily care that prioritize the comfort and happiness of each pup. I offer in-home visits only, allowing your dog to stay in their familiar environment and routine—ideal for pets who thrive on stability. My flexible, open schedule means I’m available when you need me: weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m experienced with administering medications (including pills and eye drops) and love keeping dogs engaged with enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, sniff walks, and tug-of-war. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are always my top priorities! I currently don't work so I have a very flexible schedule to come to your home and feed, walk and play with your fur babies My open schedule will ensure that your dog gets properly exercised. I can do separate walks for multiple dog households. Crating can also be done.
“Morgan takes amazing care of D’Mitri! He is so pampered and gets wonderful attention while he is there. We are so happy that we have someone who can take such great care of him while we were on our wedding and honeymoon!”
About: My mission is to tire your dog out on our walk. If you have a high energy dog I hope that on our walk they'll get an amazing workout so that when you are home you two can relax together. If you have an older dog that just needs a walk to get that little excersice in the day then I can provide that slow pace as well. I love dogs and have had at least one ever since I was 7, currently 29. I have years of experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I used to mainly do dog boarding but have since moved to an apartment and can no d longer do that service. I have lots of free time to love and play with your pups. I'm currently available every day of the week at almost any time. I will always have my full focus on your dog and my surrounding area when on a walk. When out on a walk rest assured that your dog is in great hands and will be cared for as if they were my own.

“Max was absolutely amazing! He sent me tons of pictures all of which showed my dog having a blast with his own dogs. It’s clear my dog felt right at home with Max and his crew. Highly recommend!!”
“Debe was a delight! She loves her dogs and the ones she cares for! I felt totally relaxed leaving my 17 yr old Chihuahua with her. She sent me check in photos throughout the day. I highly recommend her if you are visiting the San Antonio area, she is conveniently located close to the downtown area.”
“We had an amazing experience for our first time using doggy daycare for our pups! I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands while my husband & I were working. Definitely will continue to take our fur-babies!!! ?”
“This is our second time using Amy’s service and we are so pleased with her. Our pup ran right inside like he was home which was exciting for me to see. I can tell he’s treated well and he LOVES her pup, T-Rex. They can play all day. 😄”
“Pretzel has stayed with this family twice now and she is well taken care of. She was so happy! Very flexible to work with our schedule and needs. Thank you for sending the pictures and taking care of our Pretzel!”
“Erica provided top notch care for our two dogs. When we got back from vacation, we could tell they were very well cared for. They were happy to see us yet we could see that they both really liked Erica by their demeanor. She sent pictures or video nearly every single day of the 9 days we were gone. Not only do I recommend her, we will definitely use her services again when needed (assuming she is not fully booked all the time!).”
“Thank you, Divya, for taking such excellent care of my baby boy. He clearly enjoyed his time with you! I truly appreciate your great communication and dedicated care. Highly recommend!”
“Anna took great care with my little guy who was very anxious about staying over the first time. She had him sit in her lap while she worked at her desk. He sat in her lap while she ran a few errands. It was clear that he regards her as a good friend when he went running up to her for the next day's drop off. Anna is a real dog lover.”
“Stephanie is absolutely amazing! I was really anxious about leaving Dallas with anyone, but she instantly put me at ease. She treats Dallas like he’s her own, and he lights up with excitement every time we drop him off. I’m beyond grateful to have found her on Rover!”
“Juan & his wife has done amazing job taking care of Game boy! He is always super excited when he goes over to daycare three times a week. :) Awesome updates. He is Highly recommend 👍 Thank you yall are the very best :)”
“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 :)”
“Kara was great once again, even with my last-minute request! She really saved the day when I had to make a quick trip from Austin to see my mom in the hospital. Super thankful for her help — I’ll definitely keep booking with her!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience with April! She took amazing care of our Frenchie, Jax, and kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. She made sure he got plenty of attention, exercise, and walks, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about him. When we picked up Jax, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. He absolutely loved being with April! We are so grateful for the excellent care, love, and attention she gave him. April will definitely be our go-to sitter moving forward. Thank you, April, for taking such great care of Jax and treating him like one of your own. You did an amazing job!”
“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!”
“Monica is just awesome. We were on the fence leaving our boy for the very firs time, but Monica and her husband mad us feel safe. They been sending us pictures of our boy playing and having a blast. He was with theirs two dogs having a great time. They were very flexible about pickup time, and when we came to pick Nigel up, he looked like he didn't want to leave. He's still puppy, energetic and a handful, but they managed it maybe better than we do :) We definitely recommend Monica, and be sure your baby's are in safe hands. We will be using Monica's services again for both of our boys. Once again, all recommendations.”

“Just like last time, dogs loved their daycare with Abel and Alisa! One of them was shy at first but it's could tell she warmed up to them from the frequent updates they sent. The doggies enjoyed their enrichment like playing with the fetch machine and running in bubbles. Communication is great and I would recommend Abel and Alisa!”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was about 14. I have had successful experience with treating a puppy with parvo (she did survive). I have great experience with taking care of the needs of family and friends pets. I volunteered at a cat shelter for a couple months and had a lot of fun taking care of and playing with all of them. I am currently at home everyday, so I do have time to take care of and play with the pets. I am available for boarding. This is a child free space, so your pets have no worries about any stressful situations that would come with that. Dogs with be walked every 2 hours, more frequently if needed. We have 1 sassy but loving cat to keep your pet company. Though, she does tend to stick to her bumble bee pillow. If pet becomes stressed I can easily secluded the from the situation so that they are in a calmer environment. Pets will be fed 2 to 3 times a day unless specified otherwise.

About: For the past 6 years or so, I have been trusted to take care of family and family friends' animals while they are on vacation, including reptiles and small animals, leaving them worry-free knowing that their beloved fur babies are well taken care of and comfortable. I also have cared for senior dogs and have no problems accommodating their needs to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. I'm currently working from home, so I will always be here with the pets and can keep them entertained throughout the day. My schedule is pretty open, and I have no problem working the pets that I am sitting into my schedule if something comes up. I have a massive yard at home with plenty of room to run around and explore, lots of toys too, so there is always something for them to do, and giving them their own little vacation away from home. Being in the client's home is even better, allowing the pets to be in a familiar place while also having a new friend to play with. Following a set schedule with feeding and activity is something that I love to stick to; this keeps everyone as happy as possible.
“Rufus has been amazing with Toñita. She is so shy and afraid of people and is taking her a bit to adjust, but he has been super patient and understanding. I would recommend him to anyone :)”
“Ignacio has been my go-to sitter and walker ever since I moved downtown. He is so helpful and cares for my pups like they’re his own. I know when I book with him, my babies will be in good hands and I don’t have to worry about a thing. I highly recommend him to any pet parents, you won’t be disappointed!”
“Isaac is awesome 👏🏽 he was very punctual and did a full 1 hour walk for my Goldendoodle! I got pictures and detailed tracking of my baby’s walk 🥹My boy came back so happy and tired lol I definitely recommend Isaac for your fur babies. Thank you so much Isaac!”
“Mel was amazing!! Taking care of my pup when I had very little time to do so. I got all the pictures and updates, he kept me well informed with everything Sunny did and did everything I asked to help keep my pup calm.”
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have owned them throughout my life. As a student attending school to major in Veterinary Medicine, I want to get the best experience I can day by day. I currently own a doxie right now and she truly deserves the best. I am currently a sophomore student athlete going into my second semester. I want to be able to stay busy and get some experience with a variety of pets by understanding day by day. Also please understand that I will do my best to keep my availability updated, and as a student athlete please have patience with me. Thank you! I believe that caring for an animal is like caring for a child. The attention and care is a priority, as I do have a doxie myself. She is my whole world and she truly deserves the best along with all other pets!
About: I have been taking care of dogs for almost 10 years now. During that time I have gained experience with older dogs, diabetic dogs, puppies and everything in between. I currently own a rescue dog who I have been doing high level obedience with. We participate in dogs sport like rally obedience, fetch, fastCAT, barn hunt, lure coursing and most recently scent work. When I come to take care of your dog I will treat them as if they were my own with lots of love. I want to make you feel comfortable about leaving your dog knowing someone responsible is going to take care of them. I have a high energy dog. His care involves daily walks, and lots of training including scent work, learning new tricks or building up muscle and rear end awareness. My favorite activity is walking and training dogs. I will care for your dog with love and kindness. If you give my specifics of how you like your dog handled I am more than happy to follow that. I understand each dog is different and unique which means that I adjust accordingly.
“Ashely immediately established a positive rapport with our possibly difficult dog and continued building that relationship throughout her contract. Both our dog and cat were well and fine upon our arrival home. Ashley's communication was thorough and consistent. Doppler got walked at least once each day weather permitting. Both dog and cat received good interaction and playtime each day. We recommend Ashely to anyone for either dog or cat care.”
“Odalys has been such a blessing to my dogs and me this week. She went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were comfortable before, during and after their walks. She turned on relaxing videos for my old man with anxiety, cleaned the dog mat where they eat and drink, and even picked up a mess my puppy made. As I transition back to San Antonio, I am comforted (and I know my dogs are too) that we found Odalys.”
About: Been around animals my whole life, from giant dogs to tiny little chaos machines haha. Comfortable/ LOVE feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and handling stressful situations calmly if emergencies happen! I am currently an all round year student, studying nursing! For summer, I am enrolled in online and have flexibility majority of the day to be able to care for your precious pets! As long as your pet does not bite my head off I will feel safe! know how important your pets are because I feel the same way about the animals I’ve cared for throughout my life. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets can feel at home. I pay close attention to routines, behaviors, and individual needs while providing plenty of love, playtime, and supervision. I believe trust is built through communication, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

However I’ve found so much peace & joy even more taking care of dogs since my family’s loss. My Apartment complex is new & was built just 2 years ago and is gated and is very pet friendly and it’s even is equipped with poop stations for pets.
“Mercy took care of ila twice last week.. I like how she cared to tell me important details to make me feel my dog is really cared for. When I was at work one day, the emergency siren went off and my dog got anxious and threw up twice when she was being walked.. I appreciated that mercy told me those details .. she does care and I'm happy she will be walking my dog next week (hopefully more weeks)”
About: I have taken care of my aunts dogs for years and her nieghbors dogs as well. I even taught one of the dogs to go outside meaning potty train. I am available weekends and weekday also.

The dogs love me and recognize me every time I come to their houses and I love taking care of them. They say that Dogs are a mans or women's best friend and it's true I think. So consider me taking care of your dogs. I take care of cats as well but mostly dogs. I can give meds to your Pets if need be.

About: I’m a vet tech in the army so I am trained in basic first aid for dogs and cats, as well as giving all types of medications. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs, and some experience with cats. I am in the army currently, I work from 6am-1pm with an hour lunch usually from 11-12. Most weekends I am here but occasionally I travel home to visit family. Other than that I am usually free all afternoon on weekends days and all day on weekends. I am a trained army vet tech and have experience working with and caring for animals. The only services I’m unable to provide are boarding since I am living on base.

“Breanna is fantastic to work with! Everything you'd want in a host - very responsive, caring, flexible about timing for drop-off and pick-up, and a genuine animal lover. She checked in with daily & kept me well informed by sending pictures of Chorizo getting along with her family and pets. We recommend her 110%!!”
“Our dogs have stayed with Dave multiple times. He has provided our best Rover experience by far. His experience shows in the way he supervises all the dogs interactions and our pups come home exhausted from play but happy and healthy. He is prompt with communication and extremely helpful. We will continue to use Dave as our preferred sitter in the future.”
“Divya was absolutely amazing with my dog, Brodie. She kept me updated the entire time with detailed messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She reassured me before my flight not to worry and truly paid close attention to him, updating me on his behavior and how he was settling in. What stood out most was how intuitive and patient she was. She understood his personality right away, gave him space when needed, and handled everything calmly and confidently. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I felt completely comfortable having Brodie in her care. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Anna took care of my Australian Shepherd, Maggie, for about a week. She is 2 years old and high energy and fit perfectly in Anna’s home. Anna has other dogs over and a back yard, so plenty of space to play. I look forward to boarding with her again!”
“Tania has done it again! We enjoyed our trip even more knowing our Phoebe girl was so well taken care of and having a vacation of her own. Tania’s communication is phenomenal and so is her flexibility. We are so happy to have someone we can trust with our fur baby. Thank you, Tania!”
“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.”
“Cathy was wonderful from the meet up and throughout the stay. We were out of country and hated leaving our babies but she comforted us with lots of updates and pictures! Our dog and hers loved each other which was great! My old bulldog loved the couch and chair with lots of pillows and blankets. We did not have to worry about them while we were so far away which was great!”
“Alana is so kind and did a great job caring for our pup over the Christmas week. He came home happy, smelling great, with the cutest bandana and a little Christmas gift. Totally spoiled him! He came home tired from playing with her pups, too. Definitely recommend Alana!”
“Great communication while watching my dog. My second time bringing him to her. She makes sure to give him all the attention he needs which my dog is all about head rubs haha. I would recommend her to watch all of your pups”
“Morgan was so wonderful with Sophie for the week we were out of town! Great communication - lots of pics and video as well as updates. Our dog has her quirks and Morgan was so understanding and accommodating. She really made our girl feel safe and loved! Will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Amanda took great care of my two dogs on a short notice request. So grateful she was able to provide her care while my family and I were out of town. Will definitely be re-booking in the future!”
“Genesis was great with our pup! She kept us up-to-date with how she was doing and was flexible with pickup time. We will definitely use her again if we are in town visiting!”
“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!!!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Perla! She has watched my dog several times now, and every experience has been fantastic. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my puppers is in such caring, capable hands. She’s incredibly reliable and always keeps me updated with messages and photos, which means the world to me when I’m away. My dog absolutely loves her and as soon as I get her leash and head for the car she knows where she’s going, and that says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring with their pets.”
“Chelsea was amazing! Made Cooper feel right at home and treated him like he was her own. I received a ton of pictures and videos throughout Cooper’s stay and will definitely be dropping him off again.”
“Felicia did an excellent job taking care of Holly. She made sure she took her medicine and fed her on time. Great correspondence with updates. I would highly recommend her to everyone in the area. I'm extremely comfortable with leaving Holly with her again. Thank you Felicia for the great care you provided.”
“Mollie is an absolute gem! I have renamed her “the Dog Whisperer” as she has a special gift with dogs. She understands them and caters to their needs in a way no other pet sitter has. She will love and pamper your pet to ensure it feels comfortable while you are away. Mollie is honestly one of the best (if not the best) pet sitters we have ever encountered in several years of having people watch our dog(s). She will be watching our sweet pup again next month while we are away and we couldn’t be happier finding such a great Rover. She is reliable and communicates frequently assuring you how your pet is settling into their home away from home. Also, her dog is unbelievable. He is gentle and engaging but just to the level your dog is comfortable with. Our dog doesn’t love other dogs and did great with Chance. Chance and Mollie are a great team and will take the very best care of your pet! Highly recommend her. A+++++++++”
“Jennifer took amazing care of my cat for a weekend trip and was incredibly accommodating as well as provided me daily photos during my trip which made me feel so much better throughout! I’m definitely booking again next time I need a sitter!”
“Yvonne was very receptive to my dog's needs and was dilligent about keeping us updated on how she was doing. Would definitely recommend to a friend, two weeks with Yvonne and my dog is still very happy and healthy!”
“Duke had a wonderful time with Tiffany and her family! The updates were great and it was awesome seeing the videos and pics of Duke having the time of his life! Looking forward to the next time!”
