Highly-rated overnight sitters - Woods Of Shavano
“Amazing experience with Karen. My two babies were extremely happy when I picked them up showing they were liking where they were staying. She updated me throughout their stay with pictures and videos and how they’re doing. Extremely happy with her. We will be back soon 🤗🤗”
“Our little boy Miles had a great time during his stay with Jackie and Jorge, he got plenty of love and activity, we will definitely book again, thank you !”
“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! 🐾”
“Amazing sitter—would definitely book again! She took our dogs last minute and was very accommodating with a late drop-off. She kept us updated with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Even though she had recently stopped taking large dogs and her profile hadn’t updated yet, she still made an exception for us, and we’re very thankful. Highly recommend!”
“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!!!”
“I am very happy with the way Kylie was cared for by Brianna. It is such a relief to know that I have a great puppy sitter for Kylie whenever I have to travel. Huge relief!! Thank you Brianna!”
“Deanna was very communicative and flexible! It was my first time away from my dog and the updates were very much appreciated. She went above and beyond to accommodate my dogs needs and even was able to extend boarding last minute due to my canceled flight.”
“Ann took great care of Boba! She was incredibly patient and understanding, especially since Boba was in heat at the time and can be a little shy when adjusting to new environments. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Juan was amazing! Bucky had an amazing time, I really appreciated all of the photos and he even worked on some training with him. He was also very flexible with me, which I am so grateful for.”
“Dave and his family were wonderful in caring for our dog while we were out of town. We knew she was in great hands and getting lots of love and attention while she was there. We will definitely be using Dave again in the future!”
“Lili was amazing!! She sent daily updates and took excellent care of our senior kitty. Our 16 year old cat has lost a lot of weight in the past two years, so I shared with Lili that the goal is to get her to eat anything (food, treats, etc.) Lili worked her magic and Bella actually gained 0.4 lbs!! Lili also groomed her so she seemed like she had a bath, she was cleaner than we dropped her off (as an elderly lady, Bella doesn’t clean herself like she used to.) And Lili returned the litter box spotless. Couldn’t recommend her more!!”
“Rocio and Miwako were amazing! Great communication, lots of videos and photos. My dog looked so happy, got lots of walks, and lots of love. I always get nervous and sad to leave him but I wasnt worried at all while he was with Rocio and Miwako. Thank you so much!!”
“This was a great first experience for me using Rover! I chose Sabrina because of her location and if I take a trip again she will automatically be the first one I contact again for future bookings. She kept me updated on Katsu multiple times a day and sent me pictures as well. Katsu can be a bit high energy and she worked great with him and told me she would like to have him over again. We've found our go-to dog sitter!”
“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.”
“Just the perfect place for our dogs! Dave and Jennifer provided a clean, professional, loving environment for the dogs and even sent us pictures so we could see how they were doing!”
“I just want to start with my boy Buddy has bad anxiety and Kathy and her family were great, very understanding and accommodating with his needs. Both my dogs seemed very happy during their stay and I will definitely use her services again”
“Yvonne took in my sons very frightened dog with short notice because my son was hospitalized. She works from home so was able to be with Dobie the entire time - which was exactly what he needed. She took him in good walks, sent pictures. He felt safe and happy with her. I highly recommend her service.”
“She took great care of my cat suki and sent me photos and videos of her which was really nice! It’s my first time doing this so I was nervous but will definitely rebook if I need to again!”
“Esther was wonderful with our little Yorkie. She sent pictures throughout the day and made us aware of his daily activities. Esther was very caring and loving with our baby. I would definitely recommend her. I would use her again.”

“Our first experience w/Rover was GREAT!! Our caregiver, Sydney, was personable, professional & totally committed to our pet’s needs, as well as our concerns in using this type of service for the first time. We are completely confident in endorsing the “Rover” program, & our new friend Sydney!! WELL DONE!!”

We appreciated her willingness to work with our schedule and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.”

“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!”

“Alexandria was a natural with our kitties even our difficult girl. She was patient and intuitive when dealing with them. Both cats really opened up to her. She took a ton of pictures and provided amazing feedback after each visit!”
“Veronica was communicative and had excellent judgment on how to set the cats up as she was only dropping in every couple of days. She made sure the cats were inside prior to fireworks as requested and even took care of the gifts the little one brought in to express that she missed her boy.”
About: I have a cat named Eevee she’s my bestie helping me get through college!🤭 I understand that some cats love cuddles whereas others just want to be alone. I take very serious any small behavior changes because that’s the way they tell us they’re not okay. I have experience giving medication to a cat and I also know how important it is to give it to them.
“Kristin checked in on our cat while we were on vacation. Usually he hides when we are gone, but he came out and greeted her on a few occasions. Kristin's communication was excellent and she took good care of our cat. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Vivian was phenomenal! This was our first time hiring a cat sitter and she completely put our minds at ease while we were away. And she’s a great photo taker! I look forward to booking her again and again :)”
“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.”
“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!!!!”

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!”
“Lorena took care of my puppy Maya for 4 days, she was the most patient to her, cause my puppy is really energetic and she was wearing a cone. She took care of her like her own, she would walk her almost 4 times a day and she was the most lovely with Maya. I’m so thankful to her, she is simply the best! Thank you Lorena!! 🙏🏻 I know my puppy is a lot and you were so kind to her 🥰”
“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!”
“Thank you so much for watching our baby! I was so happy that he received a walk, we got many videos and pictures of him having a blast, and he made new friends! We will certainly book again soon :).”
“Chris is a great dog caregiver, he kept me posted with pictures and videos of my puppy. Chris is always understanding and caring. Definitely continue to request for his help anytime is needed.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 ♥️”
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.
About: Hey yall! My name is Dorothy and I'm a Florida transplant enjoying my time exploring Texas! I'm a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for pets, including fostering animals in need. At home, I have a sweet cat named Cairo and an energetic puppy named Pharaoh, who loves making new friends. I treat every pet as if they're my own, providing lots of love, playtime, and attention. Whether your furry family member needs care, cuddles, or a playmate, I'm here to help and make them feel at home! I've decided to take pet sitting on as I'm saving up to go back to school this year! After losing my mom to cancer back in April 25, I've found myself reignited to go back to school and complete the nursing program. I'd love to reach my goals in my favorite way, being surrounded by loving furry babies who I can pour attention and love into. Excited to work with you 💕🥰 Looking forward to meeting your pets! I work full time from home so I have plenty of time and attention to give to your sweet babies 🤍 They'll get plenty of walks and potty breaks! I make dog park runs twice a day as there is a park right next to my home. My community has a dog park, walking trail 6 mins away, and I have a fenced in porch area to hang out outside when the weather is nice! I don't have any kids and my home is kept clean so no chances of your babies eating something or getting hurt 🤍
“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!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for animals of all shapes, sizes, types and breeds. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or loving care while you’re away, I’m here to help! I provide reliable, caring, and personalized attention to make sure your furry friend feel and are safe and happy. Pet Owner Pet & WildLife Rescuer Volunteer Foster Addition references included in photos. I Love All “My” Doggies 🐶 & Kitties 🐱!! 🥰 I also have experience with bunnies, birds, aquatics, and reptiles. I have a flexible schedule and am home often with the exception of errands, appointments or other Rover (and non~Rover side jobs), throughout the day and week. Any exceptions to my availability is regularly updated on my Rover calendar. House/pet sitting; I am available to discuss this option, but as a pet parent, can be challenging to accept but I definitely will work with you on the details, to make sure everybody’s taken care of in a timely manner, ie potty breaks. I have done pet care in my home along with overnight stays at client’s homes. I have also done dog/puppy and kitten fostering for local area shelters since 2019, as well as on my own, rescuing countless pets and reuniting lost pets with their owners, for decades. I treat all animals the same way I would want mine treated. Your beloved pet becomes THE VIPet, in my home. My pets are fully vaccinated and on monthly flea and tick preventative. I am relatively new to Rover as a pet care provider. True to my nature and love for animals I fall in love and care for each, and every one, I care for in and outside of my home. For dog walking services: Summertime: I prefer before 11 AM or after 7 PM, to avoid excessive overheating of your pet and the ground and when there is normally shade throughout the typical neighborhood in which they can be walked.
“We requested a day care and my dog got the best fun day ever. She was taken to her 1st puppy birthday party! ? Lauren kept us well informed about our dog. She sent a lot of videos and pics. 100% recommended! If she is available next time we come to San Antonio, definitely we will contact her again ?”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years, including dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine, providing exercise, feeding on schedule, administering basic medications when needed, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work from home full-time, so have plenty of time to attend to your pup! Our work schedules are very flexible so will always be available for potty breaks, quick outdoor walks and play time. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks and one friendly dog. (I can separate if needed) I can also crate your dog if requested or needed.
“We love the service and response time from Jennifer! Thanks for the most amazing photos! We appreciate everything you do for our Ozzy! Thanks! 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:)”
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.
“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! He walked my dog every day for two weeks over the holidays and was always on time with excellent communication. I loved getting photo updates after each walk, it gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. I’ll definitely be using him again next time we travel, and I highly recommend him.”
About: Hello, I am Deanna I am 22 years old and have always had a love for animals. I have cared for my own dog for 16 years, since I was 5 years old, who recently passed. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of pet care, from taking care of a little puppy to providing care for a senior dog. On top of my personal experience, I have also been a dog sitter for dogs with anxiety which required special attention. I am passionate about making sure every pet feels loved and well-cared for. I'm currently working part-time and a full time biomedical college student, but will always make time for your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends at a time we can agree on! I like to keep a calm environment so that your pets feel comfortable. I will always make sure your pups are safe, feel cared for, and not put in any harms way! :)
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.
“Hector treats each dog as his own while walking them. I had someone's loose dog attack my own and Hector protected my fur baby as if he were his own. He loves and protects him wholly each time Hector takes him out. Look no further - there is no better dog walker available in the city right now.”
About: I have experience with all sorts of dogs and animals all ages. I do pretty well with younger dogs and can keep up with them. I enjoy doing short walks with senior pets as well! I’m a college student with a passion for spending time with animals! Alongside my studies, I’m looking to earn a little extra while staying active and doing something I love. My schedule is very flexible, so feel free to book a time that works best for you. I’m also more than happy to wake up early for pet care!! ☺️☀️ I provide attentive and compassionate care during each visit, whether I'm letting pets outside, taking them on walks, or simply checking in. I always ensure they have fresh water, and I prepare an extra bowl just in case. Feeding routines are followed exactly as instructed by the owner, and I take time during our initial meeting to ask thoughtful questions and address any concerns upfront. I’m mindful of each pet’s unique needs and accommodations, and I care for them with the same love and responsibility I’d give my own. 🤍
“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.”
“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.
“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.”

“Laila was amazing!! She took great care of my babies and sent me pictures and updated me every day. I had brought my dogs over to meet Laila before the date that I needed her, and we were able to talk all about my dogs and their needs. This meet and greet was a good chance for my dogs to get to know Laila and they loved her! When I dropped my dogs off before going on my trip they were so excited and I could tell they were already comfortable since they had been there before. She followed all of my instructions and gave my doggies lots of love and everything that they needed while I was on my trip. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again! Thanks Laila!”

She was kind and very accommodating I felt I could relax away from my dog and she gave daily updates so I could see how he was doing which put my mind at ease I would recommend them and will plan on using their service again. Thank you!”
“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.”
