“I cannot say enough good things about Abel & Alisa. Our dogs were so happy and entertained while we were away. They sent us such amazing updates each day, and I felt so good knowing that our dogs were having such a great time. They even sent home some homemade dog treats at pick up. Thank you so much!”
“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!!”
“We have had such a wonderful experience with Kelly! We were nervous leaving our anxious little French Bulldog, but Kelly has been so patient and caring with her. She sends daily text and photo updates, takes her on walks, and lets her stay close by so she feels safe and comfortable. Her ranch is more like a home away from home than a typical boarding kennel—it feels like a little dog resort! It’s obvious she truly loves the dogs she cares for. The communication and peace of mind she has given us while we’re away have been priceless. We would absolutely trust Kelly with our Frenchie again and highly recommend her! 🩷🐾”
“My dog has such a great time. I think we have had 4 visits. Kristin sends me a couple of updates throughout the day and with photos sometimes videos playing with other dogs, neighborhood walks, she is eating and sleeping well. Comforting to know. Pick up and drop off hours are easy to coordinate.”
“Me encanto la dedicacion de Fernando cuidando a mi Candy, ella siempre se veia feliz en las fotos. Hasta puedo decir que ella extraña pasar tiempo con los amiguitos que hizo mientras se quedo con Fernando por dos semanas. Sin dudas puedo recomendar a Fernando como un excelente cuidador.”
“Norma was amazing with Maya! She was so flexible with our last-minute changes and genuinely wanted us to enjoy our short vacation without worry. She’s super friendly, kept us updated, and Maya came home happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely book again!”

“This is my first time boarding my furbabies at amber’s and they had such a blast! We were even able to schedule a meet and greet prior to booking. She was flexible in working with me the time and dates. We did received plenty of updates and photos which I really love and appreciate. Thank you so much for loving and caring for my babies like they’re your own! I highly recommend them for your furbabies.”
“Giselle was great she sent lots of updates. Even let me know Patches liked pumpkin food topper in her kibble. Patches got along great with her dogs. Will definitely be using Giselle in the future as patches loved her.”
“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.”
“Jennifer is the best pet sitter we have ever met! She exceeded our expectations and beyond! Her house is prepared for the service with all the safety measures taken care of! She truly loves dogs! She spoiled our baby with TONS of love and special care! Thank you very much Jennifer (and family) for an outstanding service! You are our pet sitter forever!”
“Max has been by far the best sitter we have ever had! I'm sure if Joey had the option he would ask to stay longer each visit. Thanks a mill Max for taking care of our boy like he is your own!”
“The communication was great and the care for our fur son was phenomenal. Josh took such good care of our boy. I highly recommend his services. Marley already misses Josh and Brewster. We can thank him enough for going above and beyond. We look forward to our next booking with him.”
“Lauren and her family are awesome. Tiny is always happy to be with them. We had an emergency and she was willing to help with such a short notice. She’s the best!”
“Katie took amazing care of my puppy, even helped crate train him and help learn new tricks! I was very nervous about boarding my 5 month old puppy, but Katie reassured me that she will take care of him. He was so happy when I went to pick him up, it seemed like he didn’t want to go! That made me happy knowing he was in such great hands. Definitely rebooking!! Thank you. 😊”
“It appears Jaxson had a wonderful stay with Juan and family. He has been asleep since returned home. Juan provided us with pics and videos of Jaxson stay. Sure made us happy to see Jaxson having a good time. Juan and his family left us with a very good felling about how he cares for our pets. Thanks again Juan and company.”

I recommend anyone that is looking for a caring and compassionate person to take cate of their fur baby she is the one!! We will definitely keep booking her for Taylor!!”
“Amanda did an amazing job taking care of my cats while I was gone! She gave my cat his medicine every morning and cleaned up when he vomited and peed outside the litter box. She took time to play with them and give them attention everyday. She even fed the stray cats I have outside. I would highly recommend her!”
“Reily watched my two kitties for the weekend and did an amazing job! She followed all instructions, sent lots of updates and pictures, kept my home extremely clean. Will be using her again 😊🐈”

“Did a great job of caring for my babies. Kept me up to date daily and responded quickly when I would reach out. Was also flexible when I had to change things around a bit. Would recommend and will use her services again.”
“Brianna took care of my 2 kitties for a week. She did drop in visits and made sure to spend quality time with them. Litter boxes were clean and cats were happy when we returned. One of my cats can be destructive when stressed, but he must've felt loved enough to stay calm while under Brianna's care. The house was in good shape upon our return!”
“Caryn went above and beyond to take care of our two cats. She came to our home twice per day at the times requested and provided detailed updates and great photos each time. Our cats sometimes won’t eat while we’re away and she persisted based on my instructions to do as much as she could you get them to eat. She spent time playing with them and made sure to look around our house when she couldn’t find one of them when she came over. She is extremely responsible. I will definitely have her take care of our cats when we travel in the future and highly recommend her to others!”
“Elizabeth was great with our cat Bogey. She was open to our scheduling needs and even helped out with packages that arrived to our house while we were away.

We will absolutely be using Elizabeth again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Kat did an amazing job filling in last minute for us. She gave our cat so much love and gave us so many updates which made us know our baby was in great hands. She kept the place clean and really went above and beyond. You can’t go wrong booking Kat!”

“Dawn and Dawn F. took such great care of my "boy"! I was a bit nervous as my pup is only 8 months old and less than 11 lbs., but Dawn and Dawn F. really are experienced at this put me at ease right away. The communication all day with photos and videos made me feel even more at ease. What a great day my pup had!!! He was all pooped out at the end of the evening having spent his entire "work day'" with his new pup friends and Dawn and Dawn F. He went on nature hikes, learned some new hide and seek games and was very well taken care of too. I would absolute use Dawn and Dawn F. again for my little guy! Very grateful to have found them on Rover.com!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about leaving my dog Marley with Alisa & Abel. They cared for my dog with so much luv & attention, treating him like fam❤️. Throughout the stay, they text’d me updates & adorable pics showing how much fun my dog had. Besides amazing playtime, they even surprised me with a beautiful painting along with some homemade treats for Marley as a sweet takeaway gift. I could tell my dog was happy, loved, and so well cared for the entire time. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. Thank you again for everything!”
“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!”
“The best dog watchers around! I received so many photos/videos and updates. I’m pretty sure my dog didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up! Would recommend to everyone.”
About: I have a pet friendly home with a large fenced yard, have my own transportation for drop ins, pick ups, drop offs, etc, and most importantly I LOVE all animals!! I have owned pets my entire life ranging in all sizes. I have also taken care of numerous furry friends over the last twenty years both in and out of my home. ** prices shown are standard rates but please message me with any questions or pricing requests. As a dog owner myself, caring for pets is already part of my daily life. Pet sitting naturally fits into my routine because I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m organized, dependable, and able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, my focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while maintaining the routines they’re familiar with. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, potty breaks, and any special care requirements. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and preferences so they feel secure and well cared for while their family is away. I also prioritize communication by providing regular updates, photos, and prompt responses so owners always know how their pet is doing. I understand that trusting someone with a beloved pet can be difficult, so I strive to give owners peace of mind through reliability, attention to detail, and compassionate care. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, confident, and supported throughout the entire experience.
“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!”
“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!”
“Very nice and professional she was also her house was clean and safe. My dog was well taken care of and she sent photos and replied immediately when I texted her about Gizmo. He will be back!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Fernando was a life saver! I had an emergency where I had to book few hours before, he was available to take care of my Benito and Camila! He sent lots of update of them having fun with him and lots of cuddles! Fernando is very caring and I could truly see that he cared for them like if they were their own!! Thank you Fernando for saving my day!!! I recommend him!!”
“Kristy is great and very helpful! I’m very skeptical about who I trust to watch my dog but right away, I felt that I wouldn’t have any issues with her and she would take good care of my Zeus and she definitely did. It’s also a plus that Zeus and her pup Zeus get a long and can play together throughout the day! Thanks so much!”
“Snowflake was well taken care of for the day while we got to explore the not so dog friendly parts of San Antonio. Breanna was very responsive, friendly, and flexible making it a great experience for us out of towners!”
“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.”
“Love these guys and so do my puppies. Appreciate the regular communication and pictures during their stay. Our pups have stayed with Jennifer and David 3/4 times and will continue to do so!”
“After trying about a dozen different sitters in the last year, I can definitely say I've found our match. I was out of town for 3 days and Lauren kept me at ease with detailed updates and daily summaries. She took excellent care of her and we will definitely be using her for any care needs in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Rodrigo. More than just a dog sitter/walker, I work professionally with dogs every day. As a dog parent of 10 years and a professional dog trainer who has worked with countless dogs of all sizes and personalities, I am not just a dog lover but someone you can feel at ease to trust with your four-legged family member. 🙂 Puppies, seniors, working dogs, reactive dogs, and so on. I’ve handled them all. Feel free to shoot a message with any questions or concerns and I look forward to meeting your dog! (: Currently have an open a flexible and open schedule as working with dogs is my full time focus. Please feel free to message me for scheduling questions (: I currently live in an apartment so I only accept about two or three boarding dogs at a time. Usually boarding dogs are crated within the home for safety. All training or fun will be had outside so the home if for resting and relaxing during the hotter times of the day.
“Hector is amazing with my Carrick and was from the very beginning. I'm disabled and found myself in need of a part-time dog walker. My dog is being trained as a service dog but was also rescued from a shelter and does not trust people easily. Hector asked what commands he knew, what was the best way to approach him, didn't flinch when my baby got anxious during their meet and greet. He won my furbaby over so completely that the next morning when Hector showed up for the first walk, Carrick quietly sniffed and accepted him and was more than happy to go on a walk with him. Hector also discovered the best way to walk Carrick on their first walk - I've never seen him come back from a walk so happy before! I cannot recommend Hector enough. He has experience, is intuitive, communicative, respectful, thoughtful, and takes great care of your fur babies. My little man gets the tippy-tappies when he hears him walking up to the door. A dog that usually takes months to warm up to folks. If you hire Hector you will not be disappointed. You will have a reliable, skilled and trustworthy person to take care of your furbaby.”
About: I've spent several years caring for both dogs and cats through pet ownership and pet sitting, and I truly love getting to know each animal's unique personality. I've owned dogs of all sizes—from a corgi to a Saint Bernard—so I'm comfortable with pets of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have an extensive history of pet sitting for a variety of clients while in high school and in college, and for the past several months, I've also been pet sitting for physicians in the San Antonio Medical Center, and I've really enjoyed helping give them peace of mind while they're away! I'm happy to help with just about any pet-sitting need, whether that's drop-in visits, daycare, overnight stays, or house sitting. I'm also open to caring for all kinds of animals, not just dogs and cats! My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, and to keep you updated so you know they're in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your pets and give them the same love and attention I'd give my own! I am currently a medical student, but have a pretty light course load this semester! I am typically in class some days of the week from 8am-12pm but am pretty available otherwise! I have no problem stopping by before and after my classes if needed on the days that I am in class (typically 3/7 days of the week). I am very flexible with whatever the rules/ preferences for each pet may be within their house! I understand that each family has different routines with their pets and have no problem doing my best to accommodate them! I also prefer to keep in frequent contact with the owners I have sat for in the past with texts and photos to send updates!
About: I’ve always had 2 or more dogs and pets at the same time, so I can handle a lot at once. Animals have always been a big part of my life and I intend to keep it that way. My dog of 17 years recently passed and being able to help other amazing animals is like I’m doing it for him. I give my all to fur babies. I’m open to any and all breeds and sizes. I’m available majority of the time. I love puppies and seniors, I’m opened to any age they all deserve the same amount of care. With your fur babies in my care it’ll be just like any other day just a different human! I also accept all types of exotic and domestic pets, I love them all so much! I’m currently free majority of the time, I’m also open to walks anywhere from 1pm to 8pm. Pet boarding is available weekends. Pet sitting is available all day everyday unless stated otherwise. My dog is an inside dog but when I let her out in my backyard she’s fenced in. She has lots of toys and I have her on a strict raw food diet and she’s thriving! I also have a bird who free flies around the house and gets snacks all the time.
“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: 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.
“Alexandria is a dog whisperer - she was great at connecting with our doggies during our meet and greet, showed lots of initiative coming up with ways to engage them, was very confident yet gentle with her approach during their first walk, very passionate and genuine in communicating with both - doggies and humans. Thank you so much!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I would walk families dogs and care for their pets! Cats are included. I try to spend time outside every day and walking your dog would be the perfect addition to my daily life. I work a flexible job so house sitting will fit in well! I will always be mindful to follow house guidelines and pet guidelines. I will use discernment in situations if needed and make sure that your pet is getting the love they need!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and for the past 4 years I've been in jobs that include dog care such as a kennel attendant, dog bather, and dog groomer I work from home, as does my fiance so someone will be home at all times to take care of your fur baby. We have plenty of time in our schedules for walks, playtime, anything they need If it is my home they will have access to the entire place, they will get constant attention and love, potty breaks at least every 2 hours, but sooner if needed.

Took photos and kept me updated on any developments. Thanks again Dave!”

“Leaving our dog Pepper with steve and Randi was a worry-free experience, I’m so grateful for the kind and attentive care provided. Mika, their dog, was also a lovely companion to our Pepper. We look forward to using their services again in the future.”
