“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!”
“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.”
“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 :)”

“Great service. Provided me with hourly updates, even tho she didn’t need too. If you are looking for a trustworthy sitter to take care of your favorite, pup. She is definitely the one to fulfill that task in every aspect. I would leave 6 stars if I could. So grateful🙏🏻🙏🏻. Will definitely use again.”
“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.”

“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!).”

About: I've been a lifelong dog owner and have cared for dogs most of my life. I've frequently dog-sat for friends and family over the years, including feeding, walking, administering medications when needed and providing lots of attention and playtime. I work from home full-time, so your dog will receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. My partner is retired and also home most of the time, so there is almost always someone here with the pets. Because of this, dogs are rarely left alone and get lots of care, playtime, and comfort during their stay. Dogs under 40 lbs. please. We provide a calm, safe, and welcoming environment and follow each dog’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. Our home has a fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy time outside. We also have a friendly 5-year-old dog who is low-energy and well socialized. She enjoys the company of other dogs but is also respectful of dogs who prefer their own space. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to us. We introduce dogs slowly, supervise interactions, and treat every dog in our home like part of the family. We are also happy to send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.

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.

“It was a pleasure meeting Mr. Zaihyden. He did an excellent job with both of my dogs—my senior dog and my younger, very energetic dog.

I highly recommend booking him if you're looking for someone who is caring, knowledgeable, and great with pets.”

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. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet with special needs, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for—just like family. 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.
“I can’t say enough good things about Odalys! She responded promptly to my same-day dog-walking request and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Odalys was extremely thorough, carefully following all instructions and suggestions for walking and feeding our large dog. Our pup can be a bit of a handful at times, especially with occasional pulling, but Odalys handled her with ease and professionalism. It’s clear she knows how to work with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I will absolutely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled dog walker!”
“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 :)”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I currently care for three dogs, a Belgian Malinois, a Husky, and a Great Pyrenees, as well as my indoor cat, Cleo, who I've had for five years. Caring for my pets has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, from active working breeds that need plenty of exercise to cats who thrive on consistency and routine. While I am new to Rover, I am not new to caring for animals. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and patient, and I will care for your pets with the same love and responsibility that I give my own. As a college student, I have experience balancing classes, work, research, and extracurricular commitments while maintaining a consistent routine. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily life, as I help care for three dogs and a cat at home. I am organized, dependable, and able to plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins to ensure pets receive the attention and care they need. I am especially available during evenings and weekends, and I always make pet care a priority when I have committed to a booking. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether I am caring for a pet in my client's home or spending time with them during visits, I follow all instructions provided by the owner regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, routines, and any special needs. I pay close attention to pets' behavior and well-being and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and supervised. I also provide updates and photos whenever requested so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to make pets feel secure, cared for, and as comfortable as possible in their familiar environment.
“Lynda is a true angel! She is so diligent and conscientious about every aspect of caring for my little old man. We are repeat clients and look forward to seeing Lynda every week. I wish I could give 100 stars!!”

My dog doesn't need special accommodations, but they were prepared for extra time, yard time (she loved that), sleep on furniture, etc. They also communicated well for meet/greet, drop off, pick up, and the times they were in the house - with pictures. My pup is heading back for my next out of town trip, because she liked staying there.”
“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.”
“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.

“Felicia was absolutely amazing with Ronnie! He usually gets homesick and doesn’t feel well when staying at boarding locations, so we are always nervous leaving him behind. This time was completely different, he came home happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. You can truly tell he was loved and treated like family while in her care. Felicia kept us at ease and gave Ronnie the attention and care he needed. It was a wonderful experience and will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Oliver had a great time at Cynthia’s. She was super communicative and flexible, sent regular updates and pictures, and you can tell she loves animals. We will definitely ask for her help again.”
