“Karen took care of our little Yorkie…and did a superb job. Karen went above and beyond by taking her on walks and giving her special treatment. Karen would keep us updated daily and would send photos to show how she was doing. We definitely would use Karen again if needed.”
“Such a professional and caring service, we felt that Chester was with family! Me and my wife fully recommend them! Don't look for any other options!”

“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! 🐾”
“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 ❤️”
“So amazing! It was my first rover experience and Lorena was great with my baby! She treated him just like family and provided a nervous mom with updates through the day so I knew my baby was safe ☺️ I could not say enough great things! So happy!!!”
“Ann exceeded our expectations in every way. She made the booking process incredibly easy, maintained excellent communication throughout our dog’s stay, and provided updates that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the moment we picked up our pup that she had been well cared for, loved, and treated like a princess. After another great experience, Ann will be the only sitter I’ll consider for future bookings. Finding someone you can fully trust with your pet is rare, and Ann earned that trust completely. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Jenny was amazing! She was very communicative and attentive any time we talked, she proactively provided daily updates and made our doggy feel right ay home.”
“Amazing care of our dogs, as always! I know they’re getting great attention, lots of love and plenty of cuddles from Mauricio’s kiddos. Sometimes I think they like being with him more than being home!”
“Sabrina was great. She watched after Oliver and took lots of cute photos. I got plenty of updates. You can tell he really enjoyed his stay. She was also really accommodating for pick up and drop off times. We would highly recommend her to anybody needing a dog sitter!”
“Rocio was amazing! I had a last minute request and she responded promptly and was able to accommodate Koko. She asked all the right questions and I felt like Koko was in great care. Rocio was super nice and made sure to keep me updated throughout Koko’s stay. I loved the photos and videos she shared throughout the day ☺️ I highly recommend Rocio and will definitely use her in the future!”

“My girls had a great time and i love that i got some pictures of them! Had to find a sitter in very short notice for a holiday and they were great! Definitely will recommend to other friends and family!”
“They were very patient and accommodating with our pet. They provided constant updates with photos and video which made me feel at ease. I also had to add an extra night to the booking and they were very understanding about the sudden change of plans. I will definitely be using them in the future and would highly recommend their family to keep your pet safe.”
“My dog is a real nervous nellie (and a big baby to boot). Normally, it takes quite a while for her to calm down with a new sitter, but even during our meet & greet Daisy seemed to be very comfortable with Skylar and Co. That sense of being at ease continued throughout Daisy's stay and was evident in the photos that Skylar sent of a very happy dog.”
“Esther was an absolute gem! She took care of our two pups well and kept us up to date with frequent pictures and texts of what they were doing. We truly appreciate her wonderful care. Thank you Esther!! We will call you the next time we need to board Jewel and Allie. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year!”

“My cat loves Marla, and I love that Marla is very attentive and on top of things. I have to travel a lot these days due to family circumstances, so this is a blessing. It's great to come home to find my cat is not desperate or distressed the way she has sometimes been when she had other sitters. She's a really social and smart/active cat who needs more than the bare minimum food and water that might work for some other cats. I'm thankful to have found someone who gives her the mental stimulation and affection she needs.”
“My first time using Rover. Reached out to Kristin and she responded right away. She came to meet my cat and I could tell right away she loves animals. Kristin is very sweet and friendly. She did everything great and communicated well. I highly recommend her. I will definitely use her again.”
“Ryan is friendly, punctual, responsive and loves my kitten. He also goes well beyond his specific duties. He takes very good care of my special 10 month old kitten. She was hit by a car and has no bladder control. She try’s to get to the litter box but never makes it. Ryan contends with all her messes. Thank you Ryan.”
“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.”
“Alexandria was a terrific cat sitter. She did a meet and greet and put my mind at ease— asked questions about my cats’ personalities, needs and likes and went above and beyond. She fed the cats, played with them, changed the litter and kept me updated with photos and daily notes. I highly recommend hiring her… she makes you and your pets feel like family. I was worried about having just anyone watch my cats and she isn’t just anyone; she’s amazing! Thank you, Alexandria!”
“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 :)”
“Another great booking with William! He sent photos of my cat, Julius, everyday and kept me updated. I highly recommend William to take care of your pets!”

“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 😊🐈”
“She was amazing. She definitely gave us comfort while away that Dexter was taken care of. She always provided updates and pictures. She even played with him which is a huge thing because Dexter doesn’t like new people. Thank you very much.”
“David was awesome! He took great care of our 2 cats. Each time he dropped in, he sent photos and gave us updates. This was our first time using Rover and having a drop-in service. We will definitely use both Rover and David again.”
“Kailin took such good care of my cat while I was away! She was able to keep her litter box clean every day, give her fresh food and water, and she even brought over several toys for her to keep. I will definitely book with Kailin next time!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Woods Of Shavano
“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!”
“Breanna is amazing at taking care of my dog misa and always willing to accommodate to my work schedule. She always sent pictures and updates on how misa was doing during the visit as well. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Cecelia was great with our pup! We were coming from out of town and needed someone to watch our dog for a few hours while we attended a funeral. Cecelia was very communicative and kept our dog entertained while we were away - she even sent photos of the fun :) If we lived in this area, we would definitely use Cecelia again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Wen was great! Our golden doodle who gets along with everyone was super chill when we got him back home. But even better, our little dog who can fixate on us being away was also relaxed and content and his stay. Both pups seems like the had fun.”
“I really appreciate Juan for being able to take my dog for a day of day care at the last possible minute. We had came in from out of town which added to my nerves about leaving him in someone's care but Juan sent me constant updates of Clue playing and enjoying himself while in his care. If we are ever in town again and need services, we will definitely reach out! Thanks again!!”
“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.”
“The dog sitter was friendly and attentive, providing great care for my dog, Gigi. They took her on regular walks and made sure she had plenty of playtime, including with their own dog. Gigi seemed to have a wonderful time and was well looked after during her stay. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“This was Shaggy’s first day of doggy daycare, so I was understandably a little anxious. Alexis was wonderful from start to finish. She took the time to answer my questions, helped me feel comfortable, and treated Shaggy with kindness and care throughout the day. I really appreciated the updates and photos, and it was clear that she was attentive to his needs and focused on making sure he had a positive experience. Shaggy came home happy, and I came away feeling very confident in Alexis’s care. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and would happily book with her again.”
“Above and beyond! Christopher took a very last minute booking for two of our pups. Grandpa Larry has some mobility issues and Christopher lives on the 4th floor of an apartment. I was worried it would be too much for him, but he’s an earth angel. Handled every obstacle with a positive spirit and my kiddos left feeling happy, loved, and clean. Would recommend for any circumstance!”
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.
“Jennafer was absolutely amazing with my dog, Gary! He had such a great time playing with her dog Duke, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. She even gave Gary a bath, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. I really appreciated how caring, reliable, and accommodating she was, especially on short notice. I highly recommend Jennafer — 10/10 whether you need a quick last-minute sitter or regular Monday through Friday care. Gary came home happy, clean, and well cared for!”
“Ann was amazing. She was consistently in communication with me about Vader and how he was doing. Very active in responding and took very great care of Vader. Thank you so much Ann ♥️”
“WOW ! Andrea is AWESOME. my first time using Rover. My first time raising a puppy. Andrea gave me great piece of mind. Over 10 videos throughout the day. Adira (my pup) appeared super happy and WAS super happy when I picked her up. Not to mention this was a last min. need. Andrea is hands down the best. Highly Recommended and the only sitter I will consider in the future. Oh, in 1 day, Andrea taught Adira to sit on command. Priceless!!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs. I have a puppy of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and care they need every day. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and have plenty of fun while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have a puppy of my own. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care. I also enjoy helping neighbors with their pets and am always happy to care for animals whenever needed. I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every pet. Having a puppy of my own, I understand that every dog has different needs depending on their age, personality, and routine. Whether it’s an energetic puppy that needs playtime and attention or an older dog that needs patience and extra care, I’m happy to accommodate them. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
“Gaby was very communicative and accommodating. Lady got to meet the family and even had a photo shoot. Loved getting pictures throughout my shift. It made me smile.”

“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!”
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.
“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.”
“Bandit absolutely loves Paige. I know Bandit always has a great day when Paige comes around. Paige is also sweet and accommodating to your and your pets' needs. She is very timely and communicative as well.”
“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.”
“Georgia was a delight to work with - caring, considerate, and conscientious. Gidget loved their time together and we will definitely rebook when the opportunity rises. .”
About: I’ve been surrounded by wagging tails and happy paws my whole life! Growing up, my family raised five beautiful golden retrievers who taught me patience, responsibility, and the joy of unconditional love. At 21, my mom and I welcomed our mini golden doodle, Shamus, who graduated top of his puppy training class (proud dog mom moment!). When I turned 27, I brought home my mini Aussie doodle, Remi (aka "Remi Butt" because his little booty is the cutest!). I fully trained him myself, and he’s now a friendly, gentle boy who loves making new doggy friends. From puppies to seniors, I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your pup needs energetic playtime, calm companionship, or extra help with training, I provide patient, loving, and attentive care. I treat every dog like family, because to me — they really are. 🐶❤️ Since I work from home, it’s easy for me to give pups plenty of love and attention, whether they’re staying at my place or in their own home. My apartment complex has an amazing dog park and a dog pool — yes, a pool just for the doggos! It has a shallow end and a “deep” end (about 2 feet max), perfect for swimmers or sunbathers alike. My boy Remi loves hanging out there, cooling off in the water, and soaking up the sun — and I always keep a close eye on every pup to make sure they’re safe and happy. On weekends, my partner and I love getting outdoors with Remi, and we’d be so excited to bring your furry friend along too! Sunshine, playtime, and plenty of cuddles are always part of the plan. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, secure, and welcoming environment — full of love, playtime, and cozy nap spots. I keep a close eye on all interactions and make sure every pup feels right at home, whether they want to run around, explore, or just snuggle up. My apartment complex is very dog-friendly, with a gated dog park and a dog pool, so pups can enjoy fun outdoor time in a safe, enclosed space. When caring for pets in their own home, I always respect your routines and rules to keep things familiar and stress-free. I make sure your pet feels comfortable by sticking to their usual schedule and providing lots of affection and attention. I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby is a big deal. I promise to care for them as if they were my own, with plenty of updates and photos along the way to keep you feeling at ease.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 6 when I got my first furry friend. Since then, I have rescued 2 more! During High school I volunteered at my local Humane Society where I cared for dogs and cats of all kinds. My friends, family and neighbors have trusted me enough care for their pets. I’m a post-grad girl currently shopping in the job market. I have a lot of free time, so I am flexible with hours! I am a little busy after 4 pm, but feel free to contact me anyway! I have experience working with dogs of all sorts from my experience volunteering at the local humane society. I also have 3 dogs of my own! They are all different and have different needs. I will be very careful & loving with your pets to make sure they are comfortable every step of the way. I am detail-oriented, so I will probably read any instructions 3 times over. You are safe with me! Disclaimer: I am not a professional trainer. I do work best with medium to small dogs
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. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m currently focusing on personal growth and beginning a new chapter in my life. This gives me wide availability and flexibility to dedicate quality time and attention to pet sitting. I’m able to prioritize consistent visits, unhurried care, and being fully present with each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, comfort, and reliability they deserve. 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.
“She's awesome! I book multiple times with her and she's very attentive to my furbaby and has helped me in last minute bookings! Responds quick and provides very descriptive updates on her visit which I appreciate”
About: I’ve been pet sitting in homes and in my own home for 7 years! I’m responsible and great with dogs of all ages. I love watching new fur babies. I currently only work part time so my schedule is pretty open. I’m available to walk, board, or drop in home visits for your pets. I live in an apartment and have 2 pets of my own. I live 30 steps from the dog park and take my own there at least 3x a day.
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.

“I can't say enough good things about the care my dog received. During one of the hardest times in my life, when my brother passed, they stepped in last minute without hesitation and took amazing care of my little fur baby. They kept me updated the entire time. Knowing my dog was safe, loved, and well cared for gave me real peace of mind when I needed it most.”
“David & Jennifer met us at our car in front of the house. Although we did not get to see the inside of the property or the fenced in yard, I think it is easier on the pets to not have the owners lingering about for drop off and pick up. I feel it is less stressful on the pets to have a quick drop off. I also did not have time to chat with them very much, but they were wonderful at sending lots of pictures, so I know that they were very well taken care of. My two dogs stayed for one night and they are going back next week for 3 nights. I know my dogs will look forward to spending time with David and Jennifer again. I am happy that I found such wonderful sitters in San Antonio!”

“Cooper seemed to enjoy his stay and was excited to go home. I only received one photo during his entire stay and would have appreciated more. However, on the one I received he looked comfortable being in the yard soaking up the sun. I hope he didn’t give her a hard time. Thank you Amber for your patience with him.”

“Lauren was amazing!! Very accommodating with times and always kept me updated. I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommended her to anyone looking for their pet/s to be watched.”
“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.”
“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!”
