“This was our first time to use Rover and our first time to leave our “baby” for any length of time. We couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. Bonnie was so flexible and easy to work with and obliged us by sending us pictures often. He always looked happy and well loved! Thank you Bonnie! We won’t hesitate to use her again!”
“Marci is great! I’m a travel nurse and I got stuck at work a snowstorm. Marci was super accommodating and my pups were well cared for while I was away. Thanks!”
“Salma was great with my Doberman girl. She will be Birdies new best friend and I hope to use her whenever i need a sitter for a day or week. Thank you Salma for loving my girl and making her 5 days of fun and adventures. DR”
About: I owned dogs for 11 years now. I always had 3-4 dogs at a time, ranging from husky, German shepherd, Maltese, poodle and French bulldog. Had cats, bearded dragon, and snakes. I am working part-time and trying to transition out of my current job and doing pet sitting full time, so I will dedicate all my time to pet care. I am an animal lover. Dogs cats reptiles, always treated them with respect and will give lots of love! I will end up being one of their new favorite humans.
“Gail was excellent! The love she has for animals is so vibrant and she took great care of my Baxter. She kept me updated as needed and made him feel right at home. I would most definitely recommend if you want someone that will treat them like their own!”
“We had a great experience with Christian watching our dog. She kept us updated with frequent photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she took great care of our pup. We highly recommend her services”
“They were so patient with Chase. I had never gone out of town before where I didn’t take Chase. This was our first experience. He didn’t take it well but Renee continued to send updates and Chase got used to being with them. I would of course book with her again!”
“Ruth enjoyed her time with Courtney and Shadow. They all got along very well, and Ruth’s stay allowed her to socialize and take a break from her normal routine. Courtney helped me to not worry about Ruth or how things were going by sharing videos and keeping me updated on how she was getting along.”
“We were so happy with Molly! She took great care of our Frenchie. She sent me updates every day with pictures and she was very responsive throughout the entire process! She is extremely friendly and has a great personality! We enjoyed our time with her.”
“Madison and Isaiaih did a great job sitting my dog . I enjoyed the videos and pictures they shared with me where I could see my dog happy and well taken care of . I will hire them again should I ever need a dog sitter in the future.”
“Karla was great! She did a great job watching Chance and everything went smoothly. It was easy to meet up with her to pick up and drop off Chance. She sent me updates and pictures of him while I was away. Overall, it was a good experience and I would definitely have Karla watch Chance again in the future!”
“I am so happy to have found Casey when I moved to LA! She has been friendly, kind, and super flexible with my chaotic work schedule. I have an older dog that is blind and loves to cuddle-she is always sending photos of him relaxing on the couch cuddling with her on her 2 pups (which are sweethearts). She is always attentive to my dogs unique needs and communicates regularly. I feel completely comfortable with Casey's being my dogs "home away from home."”
“Larry was great! Our dog Buck is on a raw food diet which was no issue for Larry. He sent us regular updates with pictures, and communicated very well throughout our 10 day vacation. He made us feel very comfortable from the time of dropping Buck off to the time of pickup. Will be asking Larry to watch our dogs in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Holly was wonderful. Toby is our shy scared pup and Hollys loving nature worked so well with him. He was playing and having a blast with her other fur friends and family before the visit ended. Angel, our outgoing pup, was in heaven at Hollys house. She was playing and making herself at home the minute we dropped them off. Holly send photos and videos and shared the fun the pups did while visiting her. Toby loved watching the fish in her aquarium and both pups made themselves at home with the family. Our pups were loved and treated like family. Thank you Holly for taking such great care of our babies”
About: I am so kind and considerate of the dog and the dog owner’s needs and will treat them better than my own dogs. My dogs are like my children. I always will be here to care for the dogs as if they were human. Ive always helped my moms friends with their dogs and they loved me. We would go on walks and I have always stayed the weekends if they needed me. Animals have always been something that I will always take care of.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - College Station
This was my first experience with Rover and so glad that connected with Tristen. She was responsive to all my questions also informed me of what to expect for my fur baby. This was his first time with her and she updated me w/ photos even informed me of some concerns that she addressed promptly & with patience. She even provided some tips as this was my senior boys first visit with her. I would definitely recommend and use her again.
Tristen was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, always on time, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. She sent lots of photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. It was clear she genuinely cared about my pup and treated them like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter, and I would absolutely book with Tristen again. Highly recommend!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in College Station can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their College Station home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your College Station.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in College Station. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
You and your College Station sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 sitter 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
