“Lanie has been amazing, and our Abigail can't wait to see her for her walks. I'm so thankful we've found someone dependable to give Abigail a break and some exercise while we're at work. It's been such a big help!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes ever since I was young, and as I got older, my love for them continued to grow. This passion was instrumental in deciding my future as I am currently studying at Texas A&M and finishing up my degree in Animal Science. I want to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and plan on applying to the Texas A&M Veterinary School in 2026. I have worked in two veterinary clinics, one of which was AHAA accredited and provided overnight boarding for both cats and dogs. Outside of my time in clinics, I have also studied in laboratories that were at the cutting edge of veterinary medicine. Although not as relevant to this service, I also have experience in exotic pet care, including lagamorphs, rodents, arthropods, and wildlife. My unique experiences have provided me not only with a vast of knowledge of animal medicine, but an understanding of animal communication and husbandry as well. I know that pets are held very close to our hearts, and if I am given the privilege to watch yours, I will use my knowledge, and, most importantly, my compassion to give them the love and care they deserve while your away. While I am currently in college, my work load this semester is very light as I near the end of my degree - only 8 hours a week. When I’m not at class, I’m at home and will be able to give your pet the attention they need. I am very flexible and am willing to watch your pet in my two story condo or in your very own home! My only mission is to make your pet most comfortable, and I will do whatever I can to make it so. I understand that every pet is different, and am more than happy to accommodate for all. My goal is to limit their schedule changes to create as little stress as possible while you’re gone. Whatever walking or feeding schedule you provide will be the one that I adopt when caring for your babies!
“Stassney just started walking my dog and has done a great job! She’s always on time and gives Keslar some fresh air and much needed attention! He’s excited to have a new friend!”
About: I am a college student athlete who always has and always will absolutely love and care for animals. With that being said, I love being active! I have owned and cared for many many animals aswell! Ranging from chickens to saltwater fish/corals! Back home (not the college station/Bryan home) we have a Great Pyrenees, and am well experienced with bigger breeds and understand their limitations but also their potential. I would love so much to care, sit, play, and walk with your fur babies as they deserve all the love in the world! As a student athlete my schedule mainly entails practice and home. I usually train 1-2 times a day and generally that is the only time I am away from home which is just a few hours. My number one priority is for your fur babies to get all the love and attention needed. Although I live in a condominium, it is rather large. There are several areas and trails to walk. Your pet would be allowed on all furniture and is offered all the outside time wanted with my wrap around patio and the many many walks taken throughout the day. Your fur baby is my number one priority as they are the king/queen if this home and will be treated as such! They deserve all the love and care in the world as I am eager to give! I hope to get to share my services and love with your fur babies!
About: I have maintained canine companionship since I was three years old!, My personal dogs were entrusted to my care right from the get-go. Since then, I have accumulated more than 25 years of animal care experience. I have also gained invaluable experience during a three-year tenure as a veterinary assistant, where I assumed the role of lead assistant. This professional role has afforded me extensive exposure to the realm of animal care, granting me a wealth of experience from daily care to emergency training. My expertise spans the entire spectrum of canine and feline diversity, encompassing dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Rest assured, I possess the knowledge, skills, and compassion required to administer the care that each fur baby deserves. I am a graduate student in the College Station/Bryan area, working on a Ph.D. in wildlife biology. If I am not in the field conducting research, my schedule is extremely flexible to provide services at times that work best for you and your pets! My approach to caring for clients' pets is entirely guided by the specific preferences and instructions provided by the owners. I am committed to adhering to all the rules and guidelines set forth by the owners concerning the handling and care of their cherished animals.
“Brittany is kind, responsive, clear, thorough, thoughtful, communicative, and very appreciated in our household! She’s walked my dog 15+ times & we will absolutely be requesting her services again in the future. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have loved animals all my life. I just moved to Darlington and my best friends mom told me her 1 cat won't come near me etc...1st day I was here her cat came up to me and let me pet her and she comes out of the room often to get petted. I have had a beagle, german shepherd and 2 lab/rotweiler mixed over the years. I am currently seeking employment so am available everyday/any time until I get a full time job. Can come any day or time if needed. Give them all the love they need, make sure they have food, water and take them on walks/go to bathroom. Play with them as well.
About: I've been taking dogs for jogs since I was about 7 years old. By 12, I was THE go-to pet sitter in my mom's work circle, often doing week long stints during summers. Professionally, I worked as a dog groomer, and enjoyed that job like no other! I have experience in caring for senior pets on strict medication regimens as well as wound-care. It would be my pleasure to get to know you and your fur-babies, and to provide your pets with the same level of love, care and structure that I give to my own dog and cats at home. I am currently working part time, so have plenty of hours in the day in which I can care for your pet. I have both early morning and afternoon-evening availability, as well as weekends. Whatever your needs, I'm sure we'd be able to come up with a pland that suits you and your fur-babies. We live in a home with a spacious back yard that is fully fenced. I have one medium sized dog, who can either play with your pup, or be kept separated, depending on your dog's preferences. In your home, I will ensure your pet is given the same level of love and care I give to my own, but from the comfort of their environment. If you are ok with going on walks in your neighborhood then you can bet we'll be pounding the street while your pet is in my care! I'll stick to parks/neighborhoods your pet is familiar with, unless you would prefer the get exposure to new areas.
About: I grew up on a farm. Have had numerous dogs, cats and other species. I have worked at a pet resort and am currently a vet tech working at a local hospital. I am currently doing school and working part- time, but I know how to manage my time in between. For example, I love taking dogs on walks and doing interactive activities with them! I currently do have a senior dog that can keep your fur baby company. I have a fenced in yard, but I do also do walks. My dog goes on 2-3 walks a day + gets time outside in my back yard whenever she wants. She’s on a strict feeding schedule and has dietary restrictions which I also accommodate.
About: Just a girl away for college without her cuddly friend. Looking to take care of other cutie pies. I’ve worked with older cats who take medication to young puppies. Big, small, cat, dog, I love them all! I'm a recent graduate from Texas A&M. Whoop! Due to this my schedule has opened up a lot. So I have quite a bit of free time to help other with their pets!! I just about do it all! I walk, water, feed, play, and clean up after. During my visit I also try and take the best pictures of your pet! Its always a fun time but the pictures always end up a little 🤪
About: I have taken care of pets for my parents, my friends, and family members. I started at just 12 years old with my parents dogs, when they weren’t around. I also took care of my friend’s dog when she would leave town. I always grew up with dogs and only knew about them. Until 3 years ago when I got two cats from a close friend. Now I have a great understanding of cats and I know their needs. I love cats and dogs very much and love taking care of them both. Your pet will be in good hands with me. I have plenty of time on my day to care for animals. I already have my 3 that I am used to caring for. I am confident I can take care of other animals with their own needs. In my home I will keep animals separated if need be. I can also keep them together if they get along well and can play. When going to someone else’s I will be respectful of their home and make sure no animal goes outside without leash. I will also keep the animal wherever they are comfortable in their own home.
About: Loving pet sitter! Experience in a veterinary office; I care for my own puppy and regularly help with family members’ pets, including dogs and cats. As a mom of a two-year-old and a Speech Language Pathology Assistant with Bryan ISD, I have a structured weekday schedule and am available for pet care during evenings and weekends. I am also fully available during school holidays and breaks, making me a great fit for families who travel or need consistent, reliable care during extended times away. I prioritize safety by following pet care instructions closely, keeping a secure environment, and using positive, gentle handling. I build trust through reliable, loving care.
About: Hello, My name is Alexis and I can sure you that I will provide the most fun for your dog! I live at walking distance of Hudson Park so your pet will have guaranteed walks or runs. My summer days are mostly free since teaching is over! Yay! This also means more potty breaks for your pet! And bed and couch will be welcoming your pet so have no worries! I am athletic so your pet will get his/her daily exercise! Please dont hesitate on contacting me about boarding, sitting, or walks! My availability is every day from 12pm-12am during the weekdays and I'm free for the weekends. I can also provide long term boarding for your pet. Please let me love your pet. Thanks I am currently off for the summer so I am looking for part time jobs. I am free up until August when I start teaching again. I have a fenced backyard that your pet can run around and have fun without escaping. I also have security cameras to keep a watchful eye.
About: I am currently a second year veterinary student here at A&M, so I am very knowledgable on animal health and behavior. I have been taking care of animals for my entire life, so I am open to any size, type, or any level of specialized care that they might need. I can also help with nail trims, anal glands and administering medications! This summer my schedule is very flexible, and only have a few weeks blocked off due to my externships that I need to attend. This allows me to work anytime that you might need! I currently live in an apartment, so that’s why I am currently not offering boarding. However, in a client’s home I will always make sure the pet is cared for while keeping you home clean and organized.
“Highly flexible, punctual, and professional. Always informed me of any issues she noticed with my dog and was willing to take on small additional tasks while I was away. Would definitely hire again.”
About: I have not been active on Rover for a couple years in order to dedicate all of my time to college and preparing for law school, but as that chapter is coming to a close, I am back! Ever since I was 10 years old, I’ve taken care of 2 dogs on my own, because both my parents had full-time jobs. When my senior dog was diagnosed with fatal cancer, I was her main caretaker up until her last minute. You can count on me to take special care of your senior pets just as well as I did my own. Furthermore, I recently got my first puppy independently and raised her completely on my own. That being said, raising a puppy (especially a GSD) is not for the faint of heart, therefore I feel very experienced with caretaking and dog ownership. I’m young, full of energy, and responsible so I would love to share this with your high-energy pets too! I can adhere to both sides of the spectrum, old and slow or young and spunky. Your pets are in good hands with me! I provide my GSD, Zoey, with daily exercise and stimulation. At the very least, Zoey gets 2 walks per day, each of which are 30 mins to 1 hour. I also take Zoey with me everywhere possible (picking up groceries, studying at a coffee shop, exploring nature trails, etc). Other than taking care of Zoey’s needs, if my profile is active, I am extremely flexible with scheduling! I will adhere to the owners instructions and preferences precisely. I know how hard it is to trust someone else to take care of your furry best friend as well as you would yourself, but I promise to do exactly as asked and more! I have a deep passion for animals and would want a sitter to treat my pets as well I would, or better. You’re pets are in great hands with me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 464 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Astin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Astin. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Astin.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Astin. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
