“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.”
“Mila has a great stay with Ashley!! I loved seeing all the fun, running and tug-of-war she had this weekend! Ashley even let Mila snuggle up with her at night. Needless to say, I had a pretty exhausted pup by Sunday. Thanks Ashley!”
“I appreciated Lisa opening her house up to our dog on such short notice. She was also open to the idea that I wasn’t sure how our dog would react to her cats. Thank you Lisa, I hope Coconut didn’t cause you much angst and that she would be welcomed back!”
“Karen was fantastic with Coco, very responsive, sent updates and photos, and made me feel completely at ease. So grateful to have someone nearby I can trust. Five stars, will definitely book again!”
“Megan was able to watch our two dogs on very short notice and did a fantastic job! Our dogs have an absolute blast in her home. Megan is definitely our go to person anytime we have to go out of town! Very pleased.”
“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.”
“Breanna is a top notch dog caregiver. She watched my annoying little dog during my last trip and I experienced zero issues. Would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a responsible and friendly person to care for your pets!!”
“Juan and his family took excellent care of Monty while we were out of town for 3 days. He got so much exercise playing with their dog and going for walks. And we looked forward to the daily photos and videos, watching him enjoy his time with them. We’d definitely use Juan again!”
“Max is an absolute gem!! He took amazing care of my mini-Australian shepherd (who, let's be honest, can be needy with cuddles and play time LOL). I was sent numerous photos throughout the day of him taking her for walks, going to the dog park, enjoying fetch in their beautiful fenced-in yard, and all the snuggles she could possibly want. Max is warm, caring, and truly dedicated to the health and happiness of not only his two, adorable pugs, but the fur babies he is taking care of. I would 10/10 recommend Max, and have already passed his information to several of my friends.”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Anna was a wonderful sitter! ❤️ I had her board my cat for a week and she did a fantastic job. She is very intuitive when taking care of cats and has a sweet and friendly cat of her own that I could tell she took good care of. I was nervous leaving my cat with someone else for the first time but she helped me feel very comfortable and always sent updates on how my cat was doing. I highly recommend her services! 😊”
“Teddy stayed with Kristen and her family for 10 days and I think it’s safe to say he had a great time. He was happy to see his own family when picked up but was sad to leave her home and actually cried in the car ride home. We received daily pictures of all his adventures and were happy to know he was in great hands while we were away. We will definitely rebook with Kristen on our next getaway.”
“Esther was an absolute gem! She took care of our two pups well and kept us up to date with frequent pictures and texts of what they were doing. We truly appreciate her wonderful care. Thank you Esther!! We will call you the next time we need to board Jewel and Allie. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year!”
“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!”
“Sarah and her sweet family were the absolute best. From booking to pick up, my Cavalier puppy was welcomed and cared for with so much love and attention. Not once on my trip did I wonder or worry about my dog. Sarah sent daily updates, pictures, and videos. My doggie had the best time in her beautiful home. I will definitely be rebooking!”

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.
“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.”
“Diana was a dream! So glad Louie and Lola had such a wonderful sitter while we were away. Super attentive and great communication throughout. Just purr-fect! 🐱”
“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.”
“Sarah was my first experience with Rover/Drop in pet sitting and I couldn't be happier! My 2 cats loved her stopping by while I was gone for an a family vacation. Her reports from her visits included pictures and put me at ease knowing that my babies were taken care of. She's a definite recommend for anyone in need of sitting services! 10/10 ✨”
“Kristin is so kind. She took care of my cat for 25 days. She was always on time, and she provided me with pictures every time she visited. Plus, she was always there wherever I ask her for a favor whenever I am away from home. I completely recommend her to anyone.”
“Anne took good care of my cat Sully while I was away for the holidays! She was proactive and asked if I’d like him brushed or his nails trimmed, which was so considerate of her. She provided timely updates and was able to take care of small favors I asked from her. Sully seemed to enjoy his time with her. I recommend her as a sitter!”
“Ericka is phenomenal! So grateful for her time while we were away. It gave us such piece of mind knowing our kitties were in good hands! 🫶 Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Consummate professional with a preternatural ability to care for pets! We are beyond happy with the work Courtney did for us with our cat. She was communicative and prompt, and our cat responded so well to her kind presence! Thanks, Courtney.”
“Megan was wonderful. She was prompt and thorough with her check ins and faithfully sent us pictures of our fur baby while we were away. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Madalyn watched my two cats for the week. She did a fantastic job! I received daily updates with pictures. She gave them great care which gave me peace of mind. Madalyn is responsible and trustworthy. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“Cathy was so accommodating and communicative during every visit with our sweet boy!! We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying if our Simba was in good hands and happy!! Thank you Cathy for making everything flow so easily!!”

“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!”
“My boy Paco had a great day with Juan and his dog. It was Paco's first time away from home other than going to the groomer. Juan and his family took great care of him and communicated with me throughout the day.”
“Great experience! We just moved from Tennessee to Texas and needed a new place for our boxer girl to meet new four-legged friends. Tambre’ was very responsive, thorough, and welcoming. We will be using Ridges and Paws again.”
“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!!!!”
“Debe watched kylo for a couple hours and was great! Very responsive and sent pictures and updates regularly. She has a great backyard and two little dogs that were very sweet with my little guy. Thanks Debe!!”
“Kara was absolutely wonderful! She accepted my last-minute request without hesitation and immediately made sure to ask thoughtful questions about my fur babies’ routines and any special needs. Her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring throughout the entire process, which gave me total peace of mind. It was obvious she truly cared and wanted to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and attentiveness, and I would not hesitate to book with her again or recommend her to others!”
“Iliana was just the best!! You can tell she truly loves animals and goes out of her way to make sure new comers are comfortable and pampered. My dog has some quirks and he was totally smitten after 1 day with her. She accommodated my 12 hour shifts and took care of my doggo while he was in a cone and had some stitches. Cannot say enough great things. I will definitely be using her whenever she is available!”
“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 :)”

“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.”

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.

Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
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.
“Brittney was so patient with me and Willie working through the communications of a first meet and walk! She sent a ton of pictures, all of which Willie looked THRILLED to be with her! So so grateful!”
“Sara was a lifesaver for our two dogs and cat while we had a long weekend trip. She walked them and played with them twice a day and sent several great pictures. Will definitely rebook with Sara again!”
“Tim is timely and when he arrives he quickly leashes and starts walks. The dogs are excited to see him and they are eager to head out the door. They do the loop in the neighborhood and each dog gets one on one for the walk”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs and some neighbors dogs all my life. Starting from puppy training to becoming responsible on the daily habits of walking your dog, making sure to give them food and water everyday, play with them and more. How some people are really good with kids? That’s me but with pets! I am currently in college so around my schedule, I have all the free time in the world to spend precious time with your child while you’re away! We have a fenced yard at my house which has prepared me for picking up poops around the yard if need be. My dog when hot we will bring him in and lay in the crate so I can be flexible for the needs of your pet.
“I needed a last minute dog walker and Courtney was very flexible. I felt safe having her come take Sparky out while I was at work. I have continued to utilize her services. I recommend!”

“Best dog sitter out there. Expected her to walk Jake and leave. Melisa stayed with Jake until we returned. Would hesitate to leave Jake with her for 6 month. Amazing people with a beautiful soul. God has blessed you Melisa. Hope to see you soon”
“Demetria was prompt and handled our 1yo pittie boy very well. He is fairly new to walking outside the house and she reported he was very good and she was attentive to what could be a distraction for a dog new to getting out and handled him perfectly. Would recommend and use again! Thank you!”
About: As a mom of three, caring for others comes naturally to me. My son loves animals and enjoys joining me on walks, but I am always the one responsible for your pet’s care. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering routine medications, and providing plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. My goal is to treat every dog like part of the family. We love doing special things for the dogs in our care, whether that’s an extra walk, a fun outing, lots of playtime, or simply extra cuddles and attention. Whether your pup loves adventure or prefers a quiet day at home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible during the summer. My children attend camp during the weekdays, which allows me to be home frequently and provide plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. During the week, I can offer a consistent routine with regular feeding schedules, exercise, and lots of interaction. I understand that dogs thrive on structure, so I do my best to maintain the routines they're accustomed to at home. Weekends vary a bit more for our family, as we occasionally travel or have plans, so I keep my Rover calendar updated and only accept bookings when I know I can give pets the time and attention they deserve. Because I have a flexible schedule and spend much of my time at home, I'm able to provide attentive care, frequent check-ins, and plenty of love and companionship while you're away. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of play and activity, while others prefer a calmer approach. I take the time to build trust with each animal and ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. During walks, I prioritize safe leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and making sure your pet gets appropriate exercise based on their age, energy level, and needs. During drop-ins, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, attention, playtime, and companionship—not just a quick visit. I also respect your home as if it were my own. I'll follow any household instructions, keep things tidy, and make sure doors, gates, and locks are secure before leaving. You'll receive updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
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: 🐾 Hi there! I’m Jess, and I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I understand that senior pets often need extra attention, patience, and love.

Caring for pets is my top priority right now, so I’m able to be flexible and reliable for your schedule. I prefer morning walks to avoid the Texas heat and make sure your dog has a safe, happy outing every time. I have one well-mannered indoor cat named Jax who is used to other pets and keeps to himself. My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and follow any routines or rules you have. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“Lynda was great with the dogs! She is so friendly and loves getting them up and moving! I asked for them to be just taken outside, and to my surprise she also took them on a walk through our neighborhood. She goes above and beyond and I am so appreciative of everything she does!”
“Eric was great on his walk with Lenny, my Belgian Malinois pup. Lenny is high energy and has a lot of personality and Eric was not afraid to take on the challenge. He even made sure to follow additional instructions for my cat.”

“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.”
“Mila has a great stay with Ashley!! I loved seeing all the fun, running and tug-of-war she had this weekend! Ashley even let Mila snuggle up with her at night. Needless to say, I had a pretty exhausted pup by Sunday. Thanks Ashley!”
“I appreciated Lisa opening her house up to our dog on such short notice. She was also open to the idea that I wasn’t sure how our dog would react to her cats. Thank you Lisa, I hope Coconut didn’t cause you much angst and that she would be welcomed back!”
“Megan was able to watch our two dogs on very short notice and did a fantastic job! Our dogs have an absolute blast in her home. Megan is definitely our go to person anytime we have to go out of town! Very pleased.”
“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.”
“Breanna is a top notch dog caregiver. She watched my annoying little dog during my last trip and I experienced zero issues. Would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a responsible and friendly person to care for your pets!!”
“Juan and his family took excellent care of Monty while we were out of town for 3 days. He got so much exercise playing with their dog and going for walks. And we looked forward to the daily photos and videos, watching him enjoy his time with them. We’d definitely use Juan again!”
“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 :)”
“Anna was a wonderful sitter! ❤️ I had her board my cat for a week and she did a fantastic job. She is very intuitive when taking care of cats and has a sweet and friendly cat of her own that I could tell she took good care of. I was nervous leaving my cat with someone else for the first time but she helped me feel very comfortable and always sent updates on how my cat was doing. I highly recommend her services! 😊”
“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!”
About: I've always loved animals and treat every pet like they're my own. I'm patient, dependable, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to a specific routine, I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs and personality. I'm happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind and always strive to create a positive, stress free experience for both pets and their families. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. Because of my hours, I'm able to accommodate walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays in many cases. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide them with the attention, consistency, and care they deserve while you're away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. I take the time to help pets feel comfortable in their environment, give them plenty of attention and affection, and keep a close eye on their well being.

“We loved dawn taking care of our pup! She was very nice, communicative, sent updates and photos/videos regularly. Lexie had a great time in her care! I would definitely use dawn again in the future, thank you for taking such good care of my girl!!!”
“Jennifer was amazing! We got pictures all day and it was so nice knowing our girl was taken care of so well. She clearly really loves the animals she cares for and it’s such a relief when you have to be away. Will definitely reach out again when we need a good sitter ??❤️”
“Dave is absolutely amazing at handling our GSD’s. The older one can be a bit grouchy but he didn’t have any issues with handling him. Always appreciate the video updates and being very punctual with picking up and dropping off! Thanks Dave!”
“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.”
“I would definitely be rebooking my dogs with Rachel again. She kept me updated on my babies and the return in good health 😃😃 Thank you so much for watching my babies.”
“I’m so grateful for you and your family! I don’t worry at all when I’m away. I know you are going to take good care of Edgar and even better I know he has a great time! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Only sitter we need!”
“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!”
“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.”
