“Claudia was very thorough in her time with my baby boy Raiden and Leeloo. She followed instructions that I left since one of them needs medication and sent me the cutest of pictures. She gets 5 stars in my book”

“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!!!!”

“Veronica thank you for taking such great care of my pups. Veronica did such an amazing job, especially with having to deal with a larger dog. Highly recommended for future requests ☺️”

“Jess is absolutely amazing. She sends daily updates with cute stories and wonderful pictures. Our girls adore her and always ask when she is coming back. We know we don't have to worry about a thing when we can't take them with us. So grateful for sweet Jess!!!”

“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.”

“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. :)”

“Allison was great! I booked her very last minute, and she still made time to come over to do a greet and meet. She’s clearly a dog lover, and our pups instantly fell in love with her. And very affordable rates! 10/10 would rebook in the future!”

“We are typically boring people who don’t like to leave their animals so it was vital I found someone who treated our babies like their own. Thankfully that was Kristina! We can’t thank her enough for her timely care and her thorough updates. My shy kitten just adored her which speaks volumes because he normally hides when he sees people he doesn’t recognize. If you’re looking for the best care, look no further.”

“Marla was amazing with our pups! I had one who needed twice daily eye drops. We love all the pics of them hanging out or playing in the backyard. Marla was very patient with Damaris while she warmed up to a new person. I would love to work with Marla when we travel again.”

“I was in such a pinch when Ryan came into our lives and helped out! Had a previous sitter cancel last minute and I had no one to watch my boy while I was gone for a 12 hour shift. With no hesitation, Ryan came out the next day! He’s always on time, my pup is always so happy to see him, and always makes sure Levi has water and a treat when he leaves. I can’t recommend Ryan enough!!”

“Amiee made herself available on short notice and my doggy loves her! I appreciate the report card and pictures she sends. She's also really good if you need any specific instructions followed for your pet. Highly recommend!”

“This week was our first time using Rover for our kitties and we are so happy with the great job Sydney did! I gave lots of instructions because one of our cats recently fell sick and we were very nervous to leave her, but Sydney made us feel much more at ease! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone else looking for a great sitter for their pet babies:)”

“I highly recommend Georgia! She has been excellent in taking care of my Weimaraner, Leo. She is incredibly caring, thoughtful, and attentive to his needs. I always feel at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Leo absolutely enjoys his time with her, and it’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she works with. I’m very grateful to have found someone so reliable and compassionate.”

“Jackie was terrific. We had a wonderful intro meeting then she came for 2+ weeks every day. My dog was with my elderly mother who cant really walk him. He was in great shape when I came back, and my mother seemed happy with the situation.”

About: I've experienced the magic of pets since I was young. My parents house includes a Shih Tzu, Labrador, and a mixed cat! They behave different but have tons of love that they give us. I care for your pets like they're my family's pets. I'm responsible and trustworthy. I hold a master's degree and work full-time, but can step away during lunch breaks to feed pets and can go after 5pm. I also love giving daily updates on your pet while you are away! I enjoy jogging / hiking, and I regularly walk my parents' Labrador when I am home; thus, taking your fur baby on a walk is not a challenge for me. I walk often, and will be sure to keep your pets safe! I am aware of snakes and other predators lurking in San Antonio's trails and have training in snake bite care. I haven't had to use it, yet, but it is good info to know! I can walk your dog anytime after 5pm, Mondays - Fridays, and on weekends if given advanced notice.

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’ve been around animals my whole life, from tiny hamsters to big dogs. I really love being around them and feel like I connect with them easily. Whenever friends or family are out of town, I’m usually the one they trust to take care of their pets because they know they’ll be loved and in good hands. I’m currently a college student, so I’m in class from about 9 AM to around noon, but I’m free and available to care for your pet anytime after that 😊 I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home 💕 In my home, I keep things clean, calm, and pet-friendly with lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they’re always safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from Golden Retrievers and Pit Bulls to Yorkies and Dachshunds. In addition to growing up with dogs, I have experience dog sitting for multiple families, including week-long stays where I was fully responsible for daily care, feeding, walking, and maintaining routines. I’m very diligent about sticking to walking and feeding schedules, and I take a dog’s health seriously. I pay close attention to diet, ingredients, and overall well-being, and I make sure each dog is cared for according to their specific needs and routines. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, especially when their owners are away. I’ve also worked on basic training with both my own dog and family dogs, teaching commands such as sit, wait, lay down, and spin, as well as leash training. I understand the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement, and I’m happy to reinforce training routines that owners already have in place. I currently have a Yorkie who I’ve had for three years and who lives with me, so I’m very familiar with the daily care, attention, and patience dogs need. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m currently a full-time student, but I only have classes two days out of the week, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of availability during weekdays, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to give dogs lots of attention, walks, and consistent care throughout the day. I focus on providing safe, attentive care in the pet’s familiar environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal routines. During walks, I always use a secure leash and harness (when provided) and keep dogs under close supervision at all times. I stay aware of surroundings, avoid unsafe areas, and adjust walks based on the dog’s energy level and weather conditions. If a dog is accustomed to using a fenced area or dog park, I only allow off-leash play when it is secure and approved by the owner. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets have fresh food and water, follow feeding schedules carefully, and provide playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship. I also double-check doors, gates, and locks before leaving to keep pets safe. I treat each client’s home with respect and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.
“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.”

Veto decided to be a little extra during his mani/pedi this month and Alexa went above and beyond to make sure it got done. She is always amazing and even though Veto wasn't happy, he still gave her kisses at the end because he loves her too. Thank you, Alexa! 😺

I have 2 service dogs and needed someone to check in on them for a few days and I don’t usually let anyone watch them for me besides the breeder I bought them from. I found Sarah and she came to the house to meet me and the girls. The girls immediately took to her and she made me feel so comfortable I booked her to drop in and check on them for me. Sarah went WAY above and beyond and took amazing care of them!!!! I am an EMT and will be booking her again the next time I go on shift for her to check in on my babies!!!

Kailin was AMAZING. I had to be out of town for several days due to a funeral and Kailin's diligence, communication and care for my cat made that tough time a lot easier. She is naturally warm, friendly, and clearly gifted with a gentleness animals respond to. Daily updates showed my cat happy and engaged. Kailin left my cat happier and my place cleaner than I had left it. You will NOT be disappointed!

Bryanna was very communicative before and throughout the entire drop-in. My pups seemed very comfortable with her based on the photos and videos she shared with me (without me even asking for them, which I appreciate). Both of my dogs are at a later age and she was sure to be careful and attentive of this.

Sabrina is amazing! My pups loved having her come over and she kept me and my girlfriend updated with pictures and videos. She not only let our dogs out during her drop in visits but she stayed for 30-45 minutes and played with them and gave them lots of attention. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to any of my friends here in town!
