“We are so glad we found Darcy! They took detailed notes during our meet-and-greet (always a good sign), and sent us plenty of pictures and updates each day! Darcy was very attentive to both our pets and our home. The pets seemed to love them too, warming up immediately and giving generous cuddles while we were gone! We will definitely be booking again! 😊”
“We are SO grateful for Jaxton! He watched our two boys the week of Thanksgiving while we were out of town, and he was absolutely phenomenal. He sent us updates and photos every day, and even brushed our dogs with the shedding tool we left in their bag—without us ever asking. He took such thoughtful care of our home and treated our pups like they were his own. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your pets and your home, Jaxton is the one. We cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Jaxton! We appreciate you so much!”

She stayed at my home and provided daily care for Kobe. She walked him, played with him and showed him love. She was just what I needed and Kobe needed. azalea provided me the peace of mind needed to relax and enjoy my family for Thanksgiving. She will be booked again and again.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Since high school, I’ve walked neighborhood dogs, pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, and fostered kittens to prepare them for their forever homes. I know every pet has unique needs, and I take pride in providing patient, reliable, and loving care. As a medical student, you can count on me to be attentive, communicative, and trustworthy while your pets are in my care. As a fourth-year medical student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I keep my availability updated and communicate promptly, so you can count on reliable care and regular updates while you’re away.

I have experience administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs. I’ll treat your pet like my own while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Makenna left the dogs happy and well taken care of! I would have loved more updates but that isn’t as big of a deal as making sure my babies are happy and they are! Would book again!”
“Courtney was amazing! She took great care of our pets! We had a lot trying to keep us from going on our trip but Courtney handled it like a pro! Very dependable and responsible!”
“Juli was the best Rover sitter I have watch my pets. She was attentive, communicated well, sent photos and updates and went above and beyond her job duties. She followed the care instructions and even wrote down daily notes. Before leaving, she made sure the house was tidied up as well. She is very responsible, kind and an overall stellar hire. She is the first person I am going to contact if and when I need a sitter for my pets again.”
“I have had quite a few rover sitters due to moving for jobs and she has been the best by far! I felt like my dogs were well taken care of and she sent both pictures as well a couple of videos of all the cuddles/playtime. She was also respectful and dependable.”
About: I have several years of experience pet sitting dogs and cats for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, and I also spent over a year working as a veterinary assistant. I have worked hands-on with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I'm comfortable caring for nervous or fearful pets, high-energy dogs, and animals that require extra patience or careful handling. I also have extensive experience administering medications and following detailed medical and care instructions. I now work as a wildlife researcher and have additional professional experience with animal handling, behavior, and husbandry across a wide variety of species. I'm comfortable reading behavior and adjusting my approach to the individual animal. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, senior, or just has a very particular routine, I'm happy to work with their needs and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pet in my care! While I do have daily obligations that may take me away for parts of the day, I have plenty of availability for walks, playtime, meals, and lots of attention throughout the day. I provide care in your pet’s home, where they can remain comfortable with their normal environment and routine. I’m happy to provide multiple walks per day, plenty of playtime and attention, and meals, snacks, and medications according to their regular schedule. I will always follow care instructions closely and adjust my approach to your pet’s individual needs and personality.
About: I'll give your pet the attention, care and playtime they need so they can have an amazing time while you are away on vacation or business Pet care works perfectly into my daily routine as a Movement & Health coach. I can drop by and check on your pet multiple times per day and even stay over. I do not plan on boarding animals at my residence. I am open to housing sitting with your animal. It's better for the animal to be in the environment that they are use to.

I can administer medications and insulin, give baths and toe nail trims, as well as anal glad expression! I am excited to work with your babies!

If for any reason they do not get along or if you wish for your babies to be separate from mine, my backyard is separated into two areas, so I can close one gate door and the pups will not see each other !

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Station
Allison did a great job taking care of my two Newfoundlands. Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and when I came home, they were very happy to see me but also seemed completely relaxed and well cared for, almost like they hadn’t missed me at all. That says a lot about the care she provided. Overall, I’m very happy with the job she did taking care of my girls.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred College Station walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in College Station maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in College Station choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
