“Kayla was amazing! Jax sometimes gets nervous or anxious when we aren’t there and with him being older we really need someone who will give him as much TLC as we would if we were home and Kayla did just that. She followed our Pet Care sheet to a T and let us know if there were any issues or if she had any questions!”
“I cannot stress enough how amazing Briana was. My dog fell sick with RSV a day before we were to leave for Thanksgiving with my family but all of a sudden she couldn’t be around dogs which jeopardized our holiday with family. Briana saved the day, gave Roxy her medicine, made sure she was fed and kept me well informed about how she was doing. An absolute Godsend! Myself and my family thank you Briana!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old ,my first pet was a cat and then we got a turtle. Over the years I've longed for a dog, eventually I got one dog then added another dog so I have two wonderful dogs and four cats! I absolutely love animals, cats dogs, turtles,birds, any living animal is special and unique! I first started taking care of families pets then so after friend's then neighbors. The experience I have is from family and friends. Since I love to be around animals so much I just thought it would be a great opportunity to hang out with other pets while earning an income. I currently work from home being a house manager,taking care of animals so I'm looking for something flexible and fun as part of my daily tasks! I take care of my pets daily, I have some indoor pets as well as outdoor pets. I tend to their needs as in baths and feeding, cleaning up after them.

I allow the pet to be free in my home and will provide all the cuddles and love while in my care!
“Ariana was awesome! Highly recommend her services. She checked in on our cats twice a day to help feed them and administer oral medications to one. In addition, she helped around the house with turning our sprinklers on, watering flowers and getting the mail. Ariana wrote update on our cats + photos each visit. We will definitely look to book Ariana in the future!”

“Repeat user here ✨ Stefanie is great with our dogs, super understanding, always sending pics and keeping us updated. Highly recommend and trust her with our fur babies”

About: With over **40 years of hands-on experience** caring for animals of all kinds, my heart and home have always belonged to the furry, the feisty, and the four-legged. From the time I could walk, I was surrounded by a vibrant mix of animals—**German Shepherds, Huskies, Labradors, Poodles, Pomeranians**, and even the more unexpected companions like **raccoons, squirrels, and capuchin monkeys**. Each one taught me something new about loyalty, trust, and unconditional love. Pet sitting isn't just a job for me—**it’s a calling**. I provide every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and gentle attention I’ve given to my own over the years. Whether your fur baby is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. From belly rubs and playtime to medication and special diets, I handle it all with heartfelt dedication. My goal is simple: **to give you peace of mind** knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and deeply cared for while you're away. Because when you're part of my pet sitting family, your pets become my pets too. 💕🐾 7 days per week availability. Require a minimum of 2 days' notice to book. I work from home in my day job and am able to flex my schedule to most clients' needs with minimum required notice as per above. I am very meticulous in my care for your furbaby and take pride in my ability to be astute and attentive in my care whether in your home or while walking your furbaby. Rest assured they are safe in my company.
“I can’t thank michael enough. He provided house sitting for my two cats over a holiday and ensured every single one of my instructions were carried out precisely. My babies were both lookin good and feelin great when I returned and I’m so thankful to have been partnered with Michael. Will definitely utilize him again.”

“This was our first time using Rover, as we’ve always relied on friends in the past—and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction than working with Ericka. She was kind, patient, and incredibly responsive from the start, taking the time to answer all our questions and even offering to do a meet-and-greet before we left. That extra effort really put us at ease. We were traveling out of the country with limited internet access, but Ericka handled everything perfectly. She went above and beyond in caring for our two cats, even cleaning up after one got sick (just a furball, thankfully!), fixing our Roomba when it got stuck, and taking in a package that was delivered while we were away. She also kept us updated on all the little things we were concerned about—like whether the automatic feeder and water fountains were working properly—which gave us such peace of mind. Most importantly, our cats clearly adored her. We came home to happy, healthy kitties. We can’t thank Ericka enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!”

About: I make sure every dog I care for is well taken care of — from being tucked into bed to enjoying their daily walks. I love connecting with our furry friends and truly believe each one has their own unique personality. I see pets for who they are — loyal companions who deserve real love and comfort. I’m available Friday night, Saturday all day, and Sunday. I’m open from 5:30pm to 9:00pm on weekdays. Also open to anything just would like to discuss details ahead of time. My dogs don’t live with me so no worries ! I live in dorms right now in San Antonio so I can’t really give care here but more than happy to give care at owners home or anywhere.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for over 7 years, in many different locations. I've always had a pet, both growing up and now, both cats and dogs. I've also lived on a farm so worked with all kinds of animals. I am currently stationed at Lackland and work during the week. I will be available in the evenings and on the weekends. And can housesit if you live near Lackland. I love walking and playing with dogs, especially when it's cooler out. It's always a win to me when they're exhausted and just want to sleep when they get back into the house. I can take your dog for a walk, depending on the weather of course (I will never make a dog walk when it's super hot out), I let them out in the yard if it is too hot. I will make sure to follow the rules of your home with your pet, whether it be crate for bed or allowed on furniture. I will make sure to give attention to your animals while I'm at your home, lots of love and cuddling and playing.

“As always Mercy did a fine job in taking care of my old kitties and in keeping in touch with me on how they were doing. Everything was clean and neat (litter boxes and trash) and as expected when I got home. Many thanks.”

Faith and Harley were awesome. Always on time and kept me informed at all times and provided plenty of pictures. Had no problem taking care of an 85 lbs American Bulldog which is not something I can say for other dog sitters as five of them turned me down. I will definitely use them in the future and highly recommend them. I’m a retired ArmyVet so any of you Military Vets in the area please consider them for your dog needs.
