“Jackie is super sweet and is just a natural at making you feel at ease. she truly goes out of her way to make sure you feel comfortable leaving your pet with her. Our little dog, Oliver, did really well staying with her for the first time, and she sends daily pictures. I can totally recommend her to others!”
“They were great with my fur babies and very patient with them. My dogs have separation anxiety and like to be near people all the time. They handled them with care, patience and understanding. Very nice couple, overall really good people.”
“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of Nyx. She made her feel right at home. She treats your pup as her own. Karen took Nyx on daily walks and sent frequent updates/ pictures. I highly recommend Karen and will use again.”
“Fernando did a fantastic job watching my massive Great Pyrenees and my border collie. He sent photos daily to us so we could check in our boys. He made the process of both meeting up for drop off and pick super easy. I will definitely use Fernando again and would recommend him to anyone!”
“Truly the best! Lauren is our go-to dog sitter. She’s taken care of several of our pups, and they are so well-cared for. Lauren keeps us updated and shares pictures/videos of the pups so we can see how great of a time they’re having 😊 She’s also patient and overall so kind. Can’t recommend Lauren enough!”
“Thank you so much, Snehal and Vivek, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Maple! The daily pictures made me so happy—I could see she felt right at home with you. No crate, just freedom to snuggle on the sofa and bed, daily walks, and even a pink hair bow! This is the second time in two months that Maple has stayed with you, and each time has been such a positive experience. We’re so grateful for the love and care you give her. Thank you again for treating her like your own!”
“Priscilla is awesome. She took care of our dog and we are impressed with the care. Our little Rex was safe and had plenty of space to play and run around. Will be using her service again”
“Blair did an amazing job at doggie sitting both of my mini dachshunds! She has two of her own, so it was so cute to receive video updates of them all playing together and having a great time. I really appreciated how informative she was about how my pups were doing and what type of activities they were up to. One of my dogs has separation anxiety so I was a little worried leaving him with someone new, but Blair reassured me he was doing good while in her care and I was so happy that he settled in with no problems! I will definitely be reaching out to her again for both of my dogs future needs and I will be recommending her to my friends 😊”
“Dave and his family were wonderful in caring for our dog while we were out of town. We knew she was in great hands and getting lots of love and attention while she was there. We will definitely be using Dave again in the future!”
“Lorena was absolutely amazing, it was my first time that I would be trusting someone that Kahlua and I had never met before to watch her for a whole week while I went out of town to see my long distance boyfriend. Kahlua had a blast and was surrounded with love and this filled my heart with happiness and ease the entire time that I was able to truly enjoy my visit. I came back and she was at ease and mentally and physically healthy. Lorena not only took care of her, she listens and pays attention to what Kahlua may need and communicates with as needed and understood my concerns and connected with both of us. Lorena and her family are a true blessing and we are grateful we found her. Thank you Lorena, to you and your wonderful family.”
“Macy stayed with Sabrina for a week during the holidays. Sabrina sent daily pictures and check-ins which were wonderful. I’d definitely ask Sabrina to take care of Macy again :)”
“We can’t say enough good things about Elizabeth and her wonderful care of our dog, Coke. We rarely leave him and we were SO apprehensive at first. After meeting Elizabeth and introducing her to our dog, our fears quickly vanished. Our shy and nervous pup immediately gravitated to Elizabeth. They clearly made a loving connection and we did not worry about him once during our trip. Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of Coconut and putting our minds at ease while we were away!”
“Our dog Franny had a wonderful stay with Tom while we were out of town! He sent us pictures of her adventures everyday, which was so comforting to see her having fun while we were away. She enjoyed spending time outside in their large backyard and really loved going on those long daily walks. Franny is already looking forward to the next time she can go back to stay there! 🐾”
“My pup was in great care with Carlson during her 4-night stay. Carlson kept me updated frequently and it made me comfortable knowing she has experience with animals and will take care of your pet with good judgment.”
“David was great! Between the daily pictures and constant updates, I was able to truly relax on vacation knowing my dog was in good hands. I absolutely will be rebooking with David when I need a sitter again.”

“Claudia is kind and was so patient with my cat. This was the first time leaving him for a long period and I felt at ease knowing he was under her care. She carefully followed my instructions and made sure to give him lots of play time. The cute pictures she sent were a huge plus :)”
About: Growing up with pets meant cats were always part of my world, and over the years I’ve cared for everything from shy, independent kitties to affectionate lap‑cats. I’ve also been a trusted cat sitter for friends and neighbors, handling everything from feeding routines and litter care to playtime and quiet companionship. Whether your cat loves interactive play or prefers gentle check‑ins, I make sure they feel comfortable, understood, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Caryn is an amazing cat sitter! She takes great care of Oreo, always keeping her well-fed, entertained, and happy. Caryn’s updates with photos give me peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I've taken care of pets since my early twenties and have even helped potty train both my dogs as well as family members'. Most recently I have cared for 2 senior dogs and a Great Dane with several disabilities. I work from home and have ample time to provide care and attention to my pups. If needed I can step away from work for walks, play, potty breaks, etc. I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups two keep your babies company. I can also crate your pup if needed. Our own pets are pretty spoiled and they have their own beds but tend to lay in blankets on our couch!
“Jackson took exceptional care of my dogs while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, he treated them with genuine love and kindness. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and happy around him - they absolutely loved him. He carefully followed every instruction I left, paid attention to the little details, and was always punctual and dependable. Knowing my dogs were in such caring and responsible hands gave me complete peace of mind throughout the trip. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and takes their responsibility seriously, I wholeheartedly recommend Jackson. I am incredibly thankful for everything he did, and I would trust him with my dogs again without hesitation. Thank you, Jackson, for caring for my furry family members as if they were your own!”

“Veronica’s communication was great while she took care of our cat while we were away. She always sent pictures and an update on what our cat was doing during the visits.”

“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”
“Lindsay Is wonderful! She kept us updated and dealt very well with our anxiety of leaving our fur babies for the first time. Our cats LOVE HER. She makes sure everyone is safe and happy. Trustworthy, friendly and responsible. Strongly recommend her.”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors 4 cats since I was in high school. I used to have to clean two litter boxes but it’s just one now but I don’t mind cleaning litter boxes at all. All of her cats have been a joy to take care of even with their different personalities. I always have fun trying to find them around the house to take pictures of them to send to the owner. About two years ago my family and I took in a beautiful stray calico and took care of her for a couple of weeks. I would spend hours just sitting with her outside and petting her.

“Hector was phenomenal in caring for our very large baby, who gets anxious when first departing from us. She was wonderfully cared for and it was incredibly easy to get in and out for drop off and pick up.”
“Look no further and contact Candace! Georgie is a special needs dog with a ridiculous amount of energy and separation anxiety. When Candace opened the door and got right on the ground to greet her, Georgie bounded in and never looked back. Candace and wonderful Jimmy and their family are pure dog people. Their home is dog heaven with outside access all the time, toys, cozy dog areas, soft couches and humans always available. Their adorable dogs are super friendly and welcoming. I can’t say enough how loving and sweet Candace and Jimmy are. Georgie loved them and I grew concerned she wouldn’t leave!!! Candace has a lifetime of experience and an unequaled passion for dogs. I loved her pictures, updates and instant responses. Georgie is just this second interrupting to ask if she could go back this week...”

“Absolutely pleased with Lauren’s care! She took our Foxy last minute and it meant so much to us out of towners so our pup didn’t have to endure the storm as we explored!! She sent lots of pics and videos and kept us updated all evening. Bless you, Lauren!!”
“Christopher has been caring for my dog now for a few months and I feel very fortunate that I was able to connect with him through Rover. He is very professional and reliable, always accommodating and easy to work with and schedule. He gives valuable feedback and information to help me understand my dog better and takes special interest in training and working on her behaviors that need some refinement. As much as he is great with dogs, Christopher is an excellent communicator and eager to help. Most importantly, Christopher is a good person and someone that you can trust with your pet. I cannot give a stronger recommendation for his services.”
About: Frankie and Ollie are my two adorable dachshunds! They are my world! I have vast experience working with both large and small breeds, and most importantly I treat every dog as if they were my own baby 🐶! I recently took time off from working in the corporate world to enjoy the simple pleasures in life like dog walking and sitting. My schedule is open! I have a fenced yard and area for your dog to roam within the house. We have lots of toys for them to play with. Your dog will always have my 100% attention!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years, including dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine, providing exercise, feeding on schedule, administering basic medications when needed, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work from home full-time, so have plenty of time to attend to your pup! Our work schedules are very flexible so will always be available for potty breaks, quick outdoor walks and play time. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks and one friendly dog. (I can separate if needed) I can also crate your dog if requested or needed.
“Lola had a wonderful day with Karen. She treated Lola just like family, giving her so much love, affection, and attention. Karen was able to send updates and pictures of Lola throughout the day. I know Karen will be my first go-to person to care for my little angel. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly! She’s wonderful!”
About: Hi! I’m Fernanda. I care for a maximum of two dogs per day to give each one my full attention and love. I spend 24 hours a day with them (yes, 24!) and take them to different parks so they can explore, sniff around, and have fun. Their walk schedule is pretty active: 5am, 10pm, 3pm, 7pm, and 11:30pm — because there's never a dull moment here! I also send two photos and one video daily, so you can feel at ease seeing how happy and comfortable your pup is. Is your dog shy or needs their own space? No problem! I can keep them separated from my own dogs. If they have trouble sleeping alone, I’ll stay close so they feel safe. They’re welcome on the couch, on the bed, and of course, they’ll receive all the love, patience, and cuddles they need to feel at home. Important: I speak only Spanish, but my husband speaks both Spanish and English — so if you need to communicate in English, we’ve got you covered! I provide 24/7 care for your dog, with daily walks to parks, regular updates, and lots of love and attention in a safe, homely environment. In my home, your dog will enjoy a safe, calm environment with plenty of space to play. I provide 24/7 supervision, daily walks, and constant updates.
“Christopher was an amazing choice for me and my family when we needed a dog sitter as we visited Six Flags. Great communication and updates during his care for our fur baby.”
About: I’ve had a dog in my home almost every day of my very long life! I have assisted my housemate in caring for dogs both in and out of our home for the last five years. I am currently retired, so I am available most of the time. As long as we can keep to a schedule, all will be great! I have a very large fenced yard and a medium sized dog eager to make new friends so they can run and play. Then afterwards they can stretch out on the furniture for a nap
“Thank you so much for watching our baby! I was so happy that he received a walk, we got many videos and pictures of him having a blast, and he made new friends! We will certainly book again soon :).”
“Lorena took care of my puppy Maya for 4 days, she was the most patient to her, cause my puppy is really energetic and she was wearing a cone. She took care of her like her own, she would walk her almost 4 times a day and she was the most lovely with Maya. I’m so thankful to her, she is simply the best! Thank you Lorena!! 🙏🏻 I know my puppy is a lot and you were so kind to her 🥰”
“Thank you, Jennifer, for taking great care of our Bailey. She's always such a nervous one, but it's comforting to know she can relax and play with you, just as if she were at home. Having a home-away-from-home for her is such a blessing and relief, especially when we have to leave her for extended periods of time.”
About: Hey yall! My name is Dorothy and I'm a Florida transplant enjoying my time exploring Texas! I'm a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for pets, including fostering animals in need. At home, I have a sweet cat named Cairo and an energetic puppy named Pharaoh, who loves making new friends. I treat every pet as if they're my own, providing lots of love, playtime, and attention. Whether your furry family member needs care, cuddles, or a playmate, I'm here to help and make them feel at home! I've decided to take pet sitting on as I'm saving up to go back to school this year! After losing my mom to cancer back in April 25, I've found myself reignited to go back to school and complete the nursing program. I'd love to reach my goals in my favorite way, being surrounded by loving furry babies who I can pour attention and love into. Excited to work with you 💕🥰 Looking forward to meeting your pets!

I don't have any kids and my home is kept clean so no chances of your babies eating something or getting hurt 🤍
“Jennifer is so amazing. I got a 9 week old husky puppy and I couldn't bare to leave her at home while I'm at work. I talked to several sitters before landing on Jennifer. Akasha my husky is a big baby and constantly needs cuddles attention and potty breaks. Jennifer is soooo amazing with her Akasha gets so excited when she sees we're at Jennifer's for daycare. Her tail goes crazy and she starts running all over. Jennifer loves akasha and akasha loves her she takes such great care of her and treats her like her own dog.

About: I grew up with pets as part of my family, which taught me from an early age how to care for them with patience, consistency, and respect. Being around dogs and cats my whole life helped me learn how to read their body language, understand their routines, and respond to their individual needs, whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance. I have a special place in my heart for those sweet babies with the silver speckles. I had a senior cat I lost not long ago, and I also have experience with senior dogs that have special needs. I, of course, enjoy the youngins too! I'm happy to care for pets of all ages, as well as any pets with special needs. The only pets I would have to decline are dogs with aggression or aggressive tendencies. Please see my requested important information section with further details. I have recently started a new part time job, but the time I’m not working, I love to meet some new furry friends! I am happy to accept house sits any days, as long as it is okay that I am gone for 4-6 hours at a time for my job. I also tend to take some drop ins and walks occasionally while house sitting where I would be gone for up to 2 hours at a time. Otherwise, I intend to spend most of my time at your home taking care of your pet. I prioritize the pets I care for, so I always ensure they’re well taken care of during my time with them- especially making sure they are set if I will be leaving the home for hours at a time, and then showering them with all of the love and attention once I return. For arrival times to house sits, as well as drop-in and walk times, I ask for flexibility. I am happy to work around my part-time job schedule to care for your pets to the highest standard on any day, but my availability for certain times on different days of the week may vary. I focus on providing calm, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable in their own environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, making adjustments to ensure they feel safe and at ease while their owner is away. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are important to me, and I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I am happy to provide consistent picture updates of your pets and keep in active communication with you. I also strive to leave a home as clean (if not cleaner) than I found it for all of my services.

“Veronica is the absolute best! I’ve been in the hospital but she’s been coming by to walk my babies and they love her so much. It helps while I’m missing them. I know they’re getting exercise and love in my absence.”
“Ryan was fantastic with Lalo! I was away on a retreat and came home to a very happy, well-cared-for pup. Ryan was incredibly diligent about walks, feeding, and making sure Lalo stayed hydrated and safe. It’s a huge relief to find a sitter who is this reliable and attentive. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for top-tier care for their dog. Five stars!”
“Eric was quick to reply and genuinely cared about making my dog’s day. He took my Dalmatian on a nice long walk and also played with him in the backyard on both days I booked. Eric was great about keeping me in the loop and making me feel included while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. He’s an awesome person, clearly loves what he does, and I’ll absolutely be rebooking with Eric.”
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to older dogs needing extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities, and I always focus on keeping pets safe, calm, and well cared for. I’m best suited for clients who can book in advance or have some flexibility with timing. I keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so you can rely on dependable, attentive care and regular updates while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible summer schedule and experience balancing pet care alongside classes and part-time work. I’m able to plan my days to ensure pets receive consistent care, including visits before and after other commitments. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific routines. I also prefer when owners leave a written list of instructions or daily routine details, as it helps me provide the most consistent and personalized care for each pet. I always keep owners updated and send photos during every visit so you can see how your pet is doing. My priority is keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away.
“We love Marla, she takes such good care of our pup and she is very accommodating to our changing schedule! It puts our minds at ease to know someone comes to visit Layla while we are at work and we know she looks forward to Marla’s visits :)”

“Quinten always does PERFECT with my dog. I unexpectedly had to stay at work late, I messaged Quinten asking if he can walk Max and he immediately responded & came to walk him.

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, an 18-year-old animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets and helping with family pets. I’ve had my cat since 2019 and my dog since 2024, so I understand the daily responsibility, patience, and attention that pets need to stay happy and healthy. In addition to caring for my own pets, I frequently watch over my family’s dogs, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the same kindness and care I’d want for my own pets. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I make time each day to feed my pets, refresh their water, clean my cat’s litter box, take my dog outside for walks and bathroom breaks, and spend quality time playing with and giving them attention. Caring for animals has taught me responsibility, consistency, and patience, and I enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Because pet care is something I already do every day, I understand how important it is to stick to each pet’s routine and provide dependable care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy, and I’ll keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels loved while their family is away.
About: I am the family animal caretaker who is trusted and loves animals! Experience ranges from personally owning cat and dogs, working at vets, senior care. I work full time during the week but am open to friday and saturday mornings! Hoping to be more open after more experience with rover! I am all ears for at home instructions and am open to giving medications and extra care for seniors! Overall looking out for their wellbeing!
“I can’t recommend Keishli highly enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog—kind, patient, and attentive. My pup came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable with her. She was punctual, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: Hi y’all! I’m Jackson, and I am a huge animal lover. I’ve lived with at least 2 dogs my entire life, and I now have 3 dogs waiting for me back home in Houston. My animals received many, many walks while under my care. I’ve dog sat for countless neighbors, family friends, and strangers, and I’m no stranger to scoopin’ some poop. My oldest pooch was 18 years old, and I’m more than aware of the stubbornness that age brings along. I’ve raised many puppies too, so I’m familiar with the nuance of tender yet firm care. I’d love to get to know and provide top-notch care for your animals, if you’d let me! I am a full time student at UTSA. I have class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends are more than often available. I try to visit home once a month to spend time with my family, including my dogs, so I’d love to fill this canine void I experience here in San Antonio. I have been the owner and the stranger to untrusting dogs, so I’ve gathered the best way to approach these kind of animals from both sides. I have no issue with getting on their level, exercising patience, or crating. I pick up on mannerisms and comfort levels easily, and I can adapt to the needs of each animal efficiently.

“Truly the best! Lauren is our go-to dog sitter. She’s taken care of several of our pups, and they are so well-cared for. Lauren keeps us updated and shares pictures/videos of the pups so we can see how great of a time they’re having 😊 She’s also patient and overall so kind. Can’t recommend Lauren enough!”
“Thank you so much, Snehal and Vivek, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Maple! The daily pictures made me so happy—I could see she felt right at home with you. No crate, just freedom to snuggle on the sofa and bed, daily walks, and even a pink hair bow! This is the second time in two months that Maple has stayed with you, and each time has been such a positive experience. We’re so grateful for the love and care you give her. Thank you again for treating her like your own!”
“Blair did an amazing job at doggie sitting both of my mini dachshunds! She has two of her own, so it was so cute to receive video updates of them all playing together and having a great time. I really appreciated how informative she was about how my pups were doing and what type of activities they were up to. One of my dogs has separation anxiety so I was a little worried leaving him with someone new, but Blair reassured me he was doing good while in her care and I was so happy that he settled in with no problems! I will definitely be reaching out to her again for both of my dogs future needs and I will be recommending her to my friends 😊”
“Dave and his family were wonderful in caring for our dog while we were out of town. We knew she was in great hands and getting lots of love and attention while she was there. We will definitely be using Dave again in the future!”

“Our dog Franny had a wonderful stay with Tom while we were out of town! He sent us pictures of her adventures everyday, which was so comforting to see her having fun while we were away. She enjoyed spending time outside in their large backyard and really loved going on those long daily walks. Franny is already looking forward to the next time she can go back to stay there! 🐾”
“My pup was in great care with Carlson during her 4-night stay. Carlson kept me updated frequently and it made me comfortable knowing she has experience with animals and will take care of your pet with good judgment.”
“Juan and his family took such great care of Teddy! They sent me several pictures and videos and he looks like he was having the time of his life. Teddy will definitely stay with them again! I would highly recommend using Juan!”
“Kyungah was amazing with Luna. She sent me daily updates on how Luna was doing during her stay with Kyungah, and even offered to share Simon’s snacks. She’s very caring and I could definitely tell Luna was loved when I picked her up. Would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years, including dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine, providing exercise, feeding on schedule, administering basic medications when needed, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work from home full-time, so have plenty of time to attend to your pup! Our work schedules are very flexible so will always be available for potty breaks, quick outdoor walks and play time. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks and one friendly dog. (I can separate if needed) I can also crate your dog if requested or needed.
“Norma is fantastic and provided daily updates. She was very responsive whenever I had questions. My dog loved staying with her. I will definitely be booking Norma next time I go on vacation.”
“I had an excellent experience with Merijose! She took wonderful care of my dog and treated him like family. Communication was outstanding—she kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Merijose went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes pride in what she does. I highly recommend Merijose to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Merijose, for taking such amazing care of my furry family member! Manish”
“Shelbi was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped Nala off, we felt she was in loving and capable hands. She took excellent care of our 6-month-old puppy, kept us updated throughout her stay, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nala was happy, well cared for, and received lots of love and attention. We are incredibly grateful for Shelbi's kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. We highly recommend Shelbi to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you so much, Shelbi for taking care of our Nala 🐶💖!”
