“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.”
“We have finally found the ONE! Karen is the best! She is so wise and knowledgeable about animals. This is our 3rd or 4th time leaving our baby with Karen. She is thorough and consistent. I am no longer anxious about leaving our baby when we need to go out of town. I cannot say enough good things about Karen. Her home is very clean with lots of room for Lulu to play. Karen takes great care so we highly recommend her services. She will treat your baby like her own. And she sends pictures and videos to show how well your baby is doing. Thank you Karen again and again! You are truly amazing!”
“Very good and trustworthy sitter. Gives good updates and sends videos. Accommodated my need for an unexpected pickup time that was later than expected. Will use his services again!”
“Max is the best! He is so caring and provides great communication before, during, and after. His home is clean and comfortable. I would not use anyone else.”
“Olivia was fantastic with Bunny. I got regular updates, pics, and videos to let me know how she was doing, and it was a great opportunity to get Bunny socialized with Olivia’s dogs and cats. Olivia and her husband were super friendly and easy to work with, and I know Bunny had a great time making new friends! I’ll def be bringing her back 🩵”
“Jesse did a fantastic job taking care of my Goldendoodle! He kept me updated throughout the stay and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Jesse and will be booking with him again in the future!”
“Abel and Alisa are wonderful! They took excellent care of my pups. Communication was excellent as well. Updates everyday throughout their stay. The quality photos they sent would bring a smile to my face. I loved how the pups are stimulated physically and mentally with many day activities. Their care is top notch!”
“Juan and his family took excellent care of our dogs while we went away for the weekend. The pictures and videos showed them eating well, having fun, being cuddled, and we were happy to hear our Max was given his meds right on schedule. We highly recommend Juan!”
“Jackie & Jorge did amazing with our sweet Missy. Loved that’s they kept us updated with pictures and a video of our sweet girl! I will definitely book again with them in the future.”
“Breanna and Jonathon are absolutely amazing! They did an awesome job with Peanut and Molly. My dogs were so well cared for, and I received daily updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. They treated my pups just like family—even letting them sleep with them—which meant the world to me. We’ve tried boarding before, but our dogs never seemed as happy as they were with Breanna and Jonathon. The difference was night and day! It was clear that they truly love what they do and go above and beyond to make pets feel comfortable and loved. I will definitely be using them again. They took outstanding care of our dogs, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“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 :)”
“Cathy did a wonderful job with Monty. Her dog Bentley was lovely and they got on well. Monty hates thunderstorms and barks incessantly when they are happening, and as luck would have a severe storm passed through while she was boarding him. She was able to give him his medicine and keep him calm, and to text me on how he was doing. Would recommend highly.”
“Wilber and Jeanelly are true gems! Their love, care, and attention make all the difference, ensuring our Baby feels happy and loved when we’re away. It’s comforting to know he is in such compassionate and capable hands! Thanks again ❤️”
“Lisa and her family were fabulous, and I already booked our second stay! Super responsive and flexible, and sent great pics every day. A perfect option for a dog that loves being around other dogs.”
“This was my first time using Rover and leaving Angelo with someone we didn’t know, and I was pretty nervous. Lorena exceeded all expectations!! She was so nice and enthusiastic and can tell that she just loves dogs. She took the time to meet us before Angelo’s stay with her. Lorena gave me multiple updates a day with lots and lots of pictures which I appreciated so much! She also spoiled him and took him on multiple walks a day. Angelo absolutely loved Lorena and her family. 🥰 I highly recommend Lorena and we will definitely reach out to her again when we need a sitter for Angelo. 💛”
“We have used Amy a handful of times for our dog, Ollie. She sends update pics/videos and is very communicative. We completely trust her and know Ollie is always in good hands.”
“Grey and his partner were wonderful. My dog was well cared for and loved, and I already booked her next visit with them. 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.”
“We found Marti on DogVacay after searching and realizing that there were no kennels that we liked in the DC area--everything was too expensive or too impersonal, or both. With two active little dogs, we wanted something cost effective and where we knew our girls would be loved and cared for like they were home with us. Marti was wonderful and fit that bill perfectly. Knowing that she had Westies for years made us so happy and feel so secure. Her home is easy to find and has a great big fenced in backyard. The rooms in the house were easy to break up, and we knew that our dogs would feel right at home. Upon meeting Marti before our first reservation, we saw that our dogs loved her and that she would love them. She was so tuned in to the things that only a fellow pet owner would know, and we felt safe knowing that. She asked all the right questions, and we booked three stays immediately. This past weekend was visit number one for our two pups, and they had so much fun. Marti was very upfront about the presence of other dogs and was very accommodating if we had needed any special arrangements--we didn't, but knowing that she was tuned in and knew how to "read" dogs' interactions with one another was great. She is such a pro. We looked forward to the pictures and messages she sent throughout the dogs' stay, and they were such a joy to see. I love that Marti did this! Picking up the dogs was great--we missed them!--because the dogs were tired (so much fun!) and so happy. Can't wait to send the dogs to Auntie Marti's again soon!”

“Amazing care for our cats, as always! Even our shy cat loves Karen, and she is great about sharing pictures and updates and following our complicated care instructions. Would recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter:)”
“Hollie is amazing - I know my pets like her more than me!! And I am happy because it means they are in GREAT hands when I am away. I am so appreciative of the photos, videos, and picture collages that Hollie sends - I show them to people I am traveling with and they are jealous and also see how cute my cats are! My Christmas/World Peace wish is that everyone gets a pet sitter as phenomenal as Hollie in their lives (but not Hollie exactly because she is is mine!) :)”
“Ericka took amazing care of our cats while we were away—playing with them, giving them lots of love, and making sure they were happy and comfortable. She kept us updated the whole time with great communication and the cutest photos, which really gave us peace of mind. It was clear our cats were in excellent hands”
“April was perfect ! She was very helpful, accommodating, sent lots and lots of photo and video updates, and my cats were very very happy with her! I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Kristin was great with Meeko! She stayed to play with him while we were gone and took great care of him! We came home to a very happy boy! Thank you Kristin!”
“Ximena was a big help and an awesome first time using rover experience. She did an excellent job taking care of my 4 cats with daily drop ins. Truly cares about your little fur animals and gave some great updates/photos during the week.”
“Ignacio went above and beyond: socializing the kittens, deodorizing the litterboxes, recovering electronics after an outage, and accounting for the possibility of delays in my return. I would definitely rebook with Ignacio.”
“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.”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for small dogs (under 40 lbs) for years—originally for friends and family, and more recently for clients through Rover. I also had the honor of caring for my own senior dog during the final stage of his life, an experience that deepened my understanding of the needs of aging pets and taught me the value of patience, empathy, and attentive care. I currently share my home with my energetic senior English Springer Spaniel/Blue Heeler mix—equal parts cuddlebug and goofball. Living with a disability has never limited my ability to provide a full, enriching life for her or for the dogs I care for. I’ve developed safe, effective strategies for training and daily care that prioritize the comfort and happiness of each pup. I offer in-home visits only, allowing your dog to stay in their familiar environment and routine—ideal for pets who thrive on stability. My flexible, open schedule means I’m available when you need me: weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m experienced with administering medications (including pills and eye drops) and love keeping dogs engaged with enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, sniff walks, and tug-of-war. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are always my top priorities! I currently don't work so I have a very flexible schedule to come to your home and feed, walk and play with your fur babies My open schedule will ensure that your dog gets properly exercised. I can do separate walks for multiple dog households. Crating can also be done.
“Mel was seriously so amazing in taking care of my kitties Orca & Ellie. We are so grateful! Lots of attention to detail and that in itself translates to being so caring and loving to my babies. Thank you SO much!! We appreciate you!”
“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!!!!”
“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.”
“Odalys and Mel took such great care of my cat, Slipper. Throughout my time away, I received daily updates and videos of Slipper and knowing that Odalys and Mel were there put me at ease. Will definitely be requesting them for future bookings the next time I am out of town.”
“Samuel was proactive in learning all there is to know in taking care of Miko. He did an excellent job taking care of her evidenced by how she happy she looks in her picture updates. I’m grateful for his help and expertise. :)”
“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 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!!”

“April was wonderful taking care of my sweet boy for the day! She was super flexible and accommodating with my crazy schedule, and Oliver loved being with her. She even took him to a local pet store to let him pick out a treat! The amount of rover people nearby downtown San Antonio are few and far between, so April really was a gem of a find!”
“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!!”
“This was my second time leaving my puppy with [Sitter’s Name] and their wonderful family, and once again, they were amazing! Their home is warm and welcoming, and their daughters are so sweet with my pup. I got regular updates with pictures and felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
About: For over 20 years, I’ve owned and cared for several types of animals. I provide a luxury service for your pets, often cleaning and going above & beyond for you and your furry family. With patience and love, I’m your go-to gal for your pet care needs! I currently am stepping away from corporate America to pursue higher education. Although school is full-time, its online and I have a ton of flexibility. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, with a fenced back yard. My neighbors do not own dogs, so your pups and mine can roam out back safely and freely!
“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.”
“Debe was amazing!! You can tell she is incredibly attentive and really committed to helping new dogs adjust to her home. Lots of pictures and communication about how my little dude was doing. She understood his quirks and had no problem adjusting to help him. Cannot recommend her enough and I will be using her again for sure!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Pretzel has stayed with this family twice now and she is well taken care of. She was so happy! Very flexible to work with our schedule and needs. Thank you for sending the pictures and taking care of our Pretzel!”
“Nacho was in great hands with Iliana and she took very good care of him. She is very attentive and understanding which was important to us considering Nacho is still very young. Iliana also sent updates during the day which ensured us that Nacho was doing good.”
“This is our second time using Amy’s service and we are so pleased with her. Our pup ran right inside like he was home which was exciting for me to see. I can tell he’s treated well and he LOVES her pup, T-Rex. They can play all day. 😄”

“This was our first time using Rover and our experience was absolutely amazing. Lorena took such great care of my fur baby while I was in San Antonio for a doctor's appointment. Lorena took her for walks, fed her, and documented all the care my fur baby received while she was in her care. I also received several photos of my dog during her stay with Lorena. She also went above and beyond by giving me a note card and doggy toy for my fur baby as a parting gift It is so nice to be able to travel with my dog and have exceptional care available when she can't be with me. We will definitely be booking with Lorena again when we are back in San Antonio in the fall.”

“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!).”
“At the beginning, I was nervous about leaving my baby for an extended period. However, Yoanna made me feel comfortable by doing a meet & greet with her, her family, and the pups. A very friendly family. I love knowing that my baby is well cared for, and she keeps me updated with photos & videos, and even video chats with me during the first couple of days! Due to my pup's love of digging in dirt, she even bathed my pup! Glad to have found Yoanna & her family.”

I've worked in veterinary care for the last two years, dealing with animals. I've been working with animals for more than five years. I am able to raise awareness about the need of animal welfare.

Since I work part-time at my local animal hospital and have most weekends, including two days of the week, available, I have chosen to take online programs in the meantime. Those with hectic schedules can benefit from my services. Being able to provide for animals as much as possible when I can makes me happy. It can be stressful to entrust your pet to someone else, but I'm here to help. In the field of animal care, I hold numerous credentials. I am a trained veterinary technician assistant with training in animal behavior. I have also worked as a kennel technician for two years.

“Such a great help! I love the amount of photos she takes of my furbaby. She's saved me on last minute request, I'm talking up to an hour before. She let's me know everytime when she's inside, when they start a walk, and gives an update halfway through the walk. She set such a high standard that I get bummed when I use another walker because they don't take all those pictures and give that many updates. I'm definitely a repeat customer every week! Such a great person you can trust with your furbaby!”
About: **About me** I am a full time professor with a flexible schedule, especially over the summer. I have a small schnauzer mix named Freddy Fender who loves to go for walks and play ball.

He is an indoor dog and your pet would be cared for inside with us.

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.”

I also communicate consistently and provide updates so you can feel confident while you are away.
“Mercy took care of ila twice last week.. I like how she cared to tell me important details to make me feel my dog is really cared for. When I was at work one day, the emergency siren went off and my dog got anxious and threw up twice when she was being walked.. I appreciated that mercy told me those details .. she does care and I'm happy she will be walking my dog next week (hopefully more weeks)”
About: Dedicated and dependable walker who has raised his own dogs, including a service dog. My fiancé certified in dog first aid and experienced working with dogs, will happily join our walks to provide extra care and attention. Pet care is a meaningful part of our routine, and we dedicate Fridays and Saturdays to providing focused, reliable walks. We plan those days around each dog’s needs to ensure they receive safe, attentive care, exercise, and plenty of positive interaction. For added safety, my fiancé joins me on walks. She is certified in pet first aid, which gives us an extra layer of preparedness and peace of mind for every pup.
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over 15 years and have a lifelong love for animals of all kinds. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve provided pet care for friends and family and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Animal welfare is something I’m passionate about. I’ve fostered dogs awaiting adoption and enjoy visiting local shelters, where I spend time walking and socializing dogs who need extra love, attention, and exercise. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I’ll provide compassionate, personalized care to help them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am a teacher so I am currently home for the summer. I am typically up around 6:30 AM and have a pretty flexible daily schedule. I do attend church on Sunday’s from 9:30-11:30 so I am not available at that time. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise under supervision. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to learn what helps them feel most comfortable and at home. I provide attentive care, closely monitor pets during playtime, and follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions carefully. Whether your dog loves to run around the yard, go for walks, or simply relax and receive plenty of affection, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care and attention they deserve. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Mel was amazing!! Taking care of my pup when I had very little time to do so. I got all the pictures and updates, he kept me well informed with everything Sunny did and did everything I asked to help keep my pup calm.”

“Very good and trustworthy sitter. Gives good updates and sends videos. Accommodated my need for an unexpected pickup time that was later than expected. Will use his services again!”
“Jesse did a fantastic job taking care of my Goldendoodle! He kept me updated throughout the stay and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Jesse and will be booking with him again in the future!”
“Juan and his family took excellent care of our dogs while we went away for the weekend. The pictures and videos showed them eating well, having fun, being cuddled, and we were happy to hear our Max was given his meds right on schedule. We highly recommend Juan!”
“Breanna and Jonathon are absolutely amazing! They did an awesome job with Peanut and Molly. My dogs were so well cared for, and I received daily updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. They treated my pups just like family—even letting them sleep with them—which meant the world to me. We’ve tried boarding before, but our dogs never seemed as happy as they were with Breanna and Jonathon. The difference was night and day! It was clear that they truly love what they do and go above and beyond to make pets feel comfortable and loved. I will definitely be using them again. They took outstanding care of our dogs, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“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 :)”
“Cathy did a wonderful job with Monty. Her dog Bentley was lovely and they got on well. Monty hates thunderstorms and barks incessantly when they are happening, and as luck would have a severe storm passed through while she was boarding him. She was able to give him his medicine and keep him calm, and to text me on how he was doing. Would recommend highly.”
“Lisa and her family were fabulous, and I already booked our second stay! Super responsive and flexible, and sent great pics every day. A perfect option for a dog that loves being around other dogs.”
“Grey and his partner were wonderful. My dog was well cared for and loved, and I already booked her next visit with them. 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.”
About: My experience comes from personally owning, fostering, and raising over 20 dogs. Over the years, I’ve developed patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of different personalities and care requirements. I naturally build pet care into my daily routine. I make time for walks, feeding, play, while staying flexible to match each dogs schedule and energy level. My home provides a safe, secure environment with a fenced in backyard for supervised play. I also have a small Poodle/Shih Tuz mix that loves having company, making it a friendly and social environment.
“Breanna did such an excellent job of taking care of my dog. My dog has lots of fun in her place with other dogs. It feels like my dog has access to the dog park every day! If your dog likes playing with other dogs and needs to socialize, Breanna is your best choice!”
“Mollie took great care of my nervous dog. He stayed with her over the 4th of July and made sure he was not scared during the fireworks. She also went to the store to get him more broccoli (his favorite snack). My dog was able to sleep in bed with her and she sent me videos of him playing with her dog Chance! I was very thankful to see how comfortable my dog was when he stayed with Mollie and Chance and I would absolutely use her services again in the future.”
“Had to leave our pup with Amanda and her family on short notice for my dads funeral. She and her whole family took such great care of our Tucker and it was evident he had such a great time!! Thank you!!”
“Kyungah C. Was amazing! My dog Chandler loved her and her family! She sent me daily updates with photos! Chandler got along with their dog Simon! I would highly recommend her! Also, I will be using her services in the near future!”
“Tania was amazing with our Finn and Ranger! She was great at sending pictures and videos daily , keeping us informed of all their fun playtime, daily walkies and just roaming around the yard and of course, NAPTIME!!! She kept them on their normal feeding schedules and gave Finn his daily allergy medication. Tania's dogs were very good with our pups, so much so that Ranger misses them now that we are home! Thank you Tania for your expert care and kindness! We appreciate you!!!”
“Amethyst absolutely loved her stay. In every picture and update shared, my dog was so happy and content. She went on multiple walks and was treated like the princess she is! I will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!!”
“My family was very happy to find Kathy. Our two boys had never stayed with anyone for an extended time and we weren’t sure how they would do. Kathy and her family were very welcoming to them and helped all of us feel really good about their stay. I know they had a good time and were safe and well cared for. Kathy kept us updated on them and sent pictures as well. I highly recommend Kathy if you’re looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Five stars! Ashley was great. Clearly a safe, loving, fun environment, with lots of playmates, communication and pictures. My needy clingy golden retriever was happy to see us after 10 days, but clearly hadn’t missed us much. I think she’d like to go back and visit!”
