“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!!”

“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!”

“I am always anxious to leave my pup because she is anxious. But she had the best time!! Kelly is awesome and updated me with pictures and videos every day. I'll definitely use her again. Highly recommend.”

“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! 😊”

“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+++++++++”

“Ann was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. One is old and cranky, the other young and hyper. She kept them both happy while we were away and really catered to their needs. She went above and beyond to make sure that they were comfortable, and our pups clearly enjoyed their time with her. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!”

“Robin is amazing! My fur babies are returns to her, butthis time one was under the weather. She gave him his medicines and kept him on his diet during his stay. We received pictures and updates during their stay as well, and even after communication is great. I highly recommend Robin and will definitely be coming back.”

“My dog is very particular. Have tried different sitters and none really connected with Benny until Jeanelly and Wilbur! We visited them and Benny instantly connected with them in the first visit. Their home is friendly and felt like home for Benny. Very kind and commutative people.”


“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.”


“Megan did great with my dogs! They are very social so they had a fun time playing with all the other dogs staying there. Megan was very thorough and remembered all the notes and things I'd mentioned, and she's also just very nice.”

“Diana is the best sitter I have ever had. She was genuine about how much she cares about dogs and especially my pups. She had the confidence to tame elvis's heart so much so that he followed her around the house. Tucker who is often afraid of other dogs, felt secure enough to play and be his joyful self. She took photos of the dogs in the morning and after noon and night. She shared their joyous moments and it was obvious they loved their stay. If you are on the fence about picking this perfect dog sitter, don't be. She is the best of the best.......”

“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!!!!”

“Norma took great care of our two dogs. Her home and backyard are clean and free of anything the dogs could get into. Our younger dog has a ton of energy, so we were grateful that he got so much play time outside in addition to walks. Norma was thorough in her questions when meeting the dogs so we knew she was experienced and would take good care of them. She provided lots of updates and communication throughout the stay, which was very much appreciated. We were very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care and absolutely recommend her.”

“Second time they’ve taken my Boomie and they’re always very attentive and communicative. I will continue to use Alan and Lynn for my dog sitting needs. Thanks so much!”

“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”


“Matthew cared for my 6year old pitBull for 5 days. Great communication and updates. He really made me feel at ease. Highly recommend. Thx Matthew!”

“Chris and Cindy were great! They took such good care of my two Yorkies! I got daily pictures and check ins to let me know how they were doing. It was great :) I will be booking with them for all future trips!”

“Our pups just love Sarah and her precious family!! They are well looked after and have lots of playtime! We always feel so secure because she keeps us updated with pics and video updates.”

“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.”

“We are so lucky to have found Sydney. She is so efficient and our fur babies are in love with her ( especially Man-man)😊 will definitely hire again and again…and again!”


“Claudia was an amazing pet-sitter for my cat Dazzle. I had gotten some of the dates wrong and she was extremely flexible, even allowing me to add on a day with no problem. Would definitely recommend her! 10/10 experience.”

“Caryn went above and beyond in her care for our cats, including an emergency late-night visit to free our cats from the bathroom in which they had trapped themselves. We would recommend her to anyone in need of reliable pet care!”


“William was great with my cats when I was out of town for a week - showed up on time, sent updates, and spent time with them. I'd definitely hire him again to watch them!”

“Amazing! So communicative and went above and beyond for my fur baby. Would definitely recommend if when you’re on vacation, you want your pet to feel just as much love as you’d give them. I was never worried about him and was able to relax and enjoy my vacation and look through the amazing pictures she took of him too🥰”


“I really appreciated the updates and how well he tended to my cat. I definitely will have him sit Miko again next time. His experience combined with the ease of communication gave me peace of mind that Miko was in good hands.”

“Veronica was AMAZING, our sitter had to cancel last minute and she saved the day!! Our cat loved her and she sent lots of good photos and updates. Will definitely use her again!!”

“Marla did an amazing job taking care of our cats. Everything went smooth and she went overboard to make sure our kitties were well taken care of. Highly recommended!”

“Karen was great with my cat! She refilled Smokey's water and food bowls, emptied her litter box daily, and made sure to give my cat treats and play with her. Every day Karen sent me a paragraph describing the visit along with several photos, which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Second time booking with Vivian and I’ll definitely rebook when needed again! Excellent communication, great timely services, and so friendly and attentive to our fur babies :)”

“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.”


“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.”

“Georgia was incredible! She was very diligent in ensuring my baby girl would be taken care of and very communicative. I’ll be booking with her in the future for sure, and I’ll be recommending her to all my furbaby parents. Thank you so much Georgia!”


“Eric is definitely my No.1 sitter choice! He was caring and followed all the instructions we left for him. He communicated throughout his visits. I would highly recommend Eric to watch your fur buddies!!!!”

“Awesome experience with Norma! Communication was great from the start. Norma gave updates which gave us a peace of mind. Would highly recommend!”

“Erika was amazing!!!! She kept me updated through out the day and accommodated my work hours. I will definitely be going to her from now! If you are thinking of booking with her do it! Your furry friend will receive great care!”

“Lorena is a gem! Super a fun personality! We were a bit nervous to leave our dog, but upon meeting Lorena, our minds were put at ease. She is sweet, caring, and most importantly, passionate! Your dog will go on so many walks with her! Highly recommend.”

“The pups always have such an amazing time at Lauren’s! They love playing with the kiddos and pups. She gave me updates on them throughout the day which I was so thankful For. Thank you so much!”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a little girl! My first pet when I was 9 years old was a Beagle named Shiloh. I’ve had dogs as pets ever since. I’m very reliable, responsible, and comfortable with dogs of all types. I would love the opportunity to be the dog walker/ sitter that puts your mind at ease! I work from home and have a flexible schedule to meet your walking or caregiving needs. I can adjust my schedule to meet your pets daily needs and routine. I have a fenced in yard and currently no other pets in my home. I can crate your pet or allow them to sleep in the living room. I work from home so I can let them in and out to use the restroom and play with them whenever is needed. I have the flexibility to keep the pets on whatever schedule you desire.
“Brian and his wife were wonderful. My pup is very attached to me but she had a good time with them for doggy daycare. Even though it was just for the day they sent me picture updates and were super responsive to any questions or comments. She also came home cleaner then when she got there. ? I would highly recommend and will use them again if I’m in town. Thanks so much!”

“Honey had an amazing time. She was well taken care of and happy. I recieved multiple updates throughout the entire day letting me know she was doing well. She had all the attention and breaks she needed. All of the family and dogs were very welcoming which made Honey's first stay away from home even more successful. In just one visit this has become Honey's second home. Breanna and her family make sure all dogs needs are met and go above and beyond to ensure the dogs are happy and owners are at ease with updates. Honey will be back and I would recommend Breanna and her family to anyone looking for daycare or even a long stay.”

“Sabrina did a great job taking care of Prince. Everything went smoothly, and my dog was well looked after and comfortable. Communication was clear, and I appreciated knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely be happy to use her again and would recommend Sabrina to others!”


“Megan and her family take such good care of my little puppy, Penny. I was worried about leaving her with someone unfamiliar, but my pup was loved on, snuggled, and entertained all day long.”

“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.”

About: I have had pets since I was very little and have always dealt with pit bulls specifically. I will say I have learned a lot from them as well as my friend's dogs taking care of them gave me the confidence and patience that I have now. I'm currently a full-time student and recently separated from the Air force. I go to school and the gym in the mornings and have freedom early hours of the day and in the afternoons/evenings. On Saturdays and Sundays, I tend to be busy with church and my bf is off for quality time. However, if needed I can adjust my schedule for certain clients! I believe my dog Milo is my child. I wouldn't let anyone take care of him unless I fully knew a person. So I understand that this can be challenging for other pet owners. I fully take care of any pets such as my own, call me Aunt Ana.
“Jessica has been an absolute BLESSING! She took care of my two doggies while I was in town. She sent updates often, was very flexible and I can’t even express how thankful I am! She’s very sweet my girls love her so much. Thank you so so so much 🙏🏻”

“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!!”

“Allison did amazing! She was so great walking Fenway and with excellent communication. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who needed some trustworthy pet care:)”

“Wonderful dog walker — my pup’s absolute favorite! My pup loves her so much! In fact he eagerly waits by the door every day for her. She shows up on time with great energy, genuine care, and a consistently positive attitude. Even my neighbors have commented on how fantastic she is with my pup during their walks. Truly reliable, trustworthy, kind, and a bright spot in my dog’s routine. The pics prove he is happy! Highly recommend.”

About: In my life, I have cared for nine dogs, one cat, two snakes, and a hedgehog. I find pets to be one of the greatest things about life and I love them dearly. Friends and family have asked me to pet sit since I was 14 and it's always been my favorite thing. I am currently a full-time student Monday through Thursday but with mostly online work so I will be available every weekday for about 4-6hrs each day, longer on the weekend. Unable to care for pets in my own home as I have my own cat that does not get along with most other pets however, I am able to care for your pets in your home any way that is needed including things like frequent potty breaks, mess clean up, daily walks, and plenty of play or nap time. I am more than willing to adjust to you and your pets needs.
“Sam was very attentive and helped out greatly when we requested small details for the dogs. Definitely will be using him in the future and highly recommend him.”

“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!”

“My dog usually goes to daycare, but if he’s sick or injured and needs to be out for a while, I use Rover. I look for Alexandria every time. She is sweet and attentive to my dog and communicative with me. I am so glad she was available again to help us. My dog loves spending time with her! I am a repeat customer of hers and I’m sure she has many! Thanks, Alexandria!”

About: I took care of my dog, Luna, since the first day she was born because her mom didn’t want her. I’d wake up every 2 hours to make sure she ate while she was little because I didn’t want anything to happen to her. Now she’s 4 years old running around with her parents and siblings. I have a cat, she recently turned one. I take her everywhere with me, she loves car rides now. At home I have dogs who I’d always look forward going to play with after work. Pets have been a part of my life for a while now and I enjoy it. When it comes to dogs, puppies, I know that most of the time all they want to do is play and I’m okay with that. I think it’s an important part of their life to keep them healthy and happy.I know some pets don’t like being alone and it’s makes me sad to see pets waiting by the door for their owners to show up. So I look forward to being with them whether it’s playing with them or just keeping them company while you’re out working or running errands.
About: I have always had a family dog (or two) around and know how important they are to you! Just recently we lost our two dogs (Conner—16 and Copper—13) and miss the love and energy they brought to our lives! I know the peace of mind having good help can bring to a pet owner and believe I can help whenever your furbaby needs me! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I will have plenty of time to give your pet all the attention they need! I enjoy being outside so potty breaks and walks are no bother at all! My backyard is fully fenced in with grass in the majority of the yard. I am very good at recognizing when dogs need to burn off energy with play time or when they need extra attention. If you have a routine/schedule that works for your pet, I am happy to oblige!
“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 :)”


About: I have 3+ Years of Dog Experience & Hands-On Experience with Canine Healthcare. I’m a pre-med student with over three years of experience caring for dogs and a genuine passion for their health and well-being. As a proud weenie dog parent, I’ve personally navigated my own puppy’s medical challenges alongside him, including trips to the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital to help find solutions and get him the care he needed. These experiences have deepened my love for animals and strengthened my passion for canine healthcare. Your pup will always be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own!❤️ Here’s a polished version for your Rover profile: I work at a neurology clinic only two days a week and have plenty of availability for your pets! I’m available Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends, as well as Tuesdays and Thursdays after 6 PM. I’m also available for 24/7 potty breaks and care on my available days, excluding Tuesdays and Thursdays. Your pup will be staying in a safe, loving, and welcoming home with my friendly 6-month-old Dachshund, who is well-socialized with other dogs and regularly enjoys trips to the dog park!
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets my entire life, giving me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and routines. I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own—providing plenty of love, attention, patience, and dependable care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I’m committed to making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am able to work full-time day or night for whatever needs your furry friends may have! I am devoted to giving your pets all the loving care that they need! I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine, keeping their space clean and safe, and giving them plenty of attention and love—just like their owners would.
“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.”

“100% recommend, was in time. Even waited for me while I couldn’t respond. My girl is so shy but happily went on a walk with her. Would definitely contact her again for macy!”


“Thanks for always being available to help us out even on short notice! Will is great with our pup. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Rover! All the best Will.”

About: When I was little we always had dogs in our home. My parents showed me how to take care of them as if they were oir babies. My most loving memories are with our dogs throughout the years. In the last 8 yars I have helped friends take care of their little ones when they have to travel or work long hours and I have loved it. My furry friends have brought very happy moments and days to my life and i find a lot of joy in caring for them. I work at a foster care agency and i have brought some of the dogs to work and seeing how they make other people's days by running around and playing with them makes my day. I'm currently working from home and have availability throughout the day to go out for walks. I myself walk my own dog during my breaks. I currently live in an apartment and work from home. I am able to watch my dog and visiting furry friends while being at home.
