“Roziny is fantastic! They were available on 2 days notice for a family emergency I needed a sitter for, and they were very attentive and mindful of what my cats needed while I was gone. They made sure to give them a good amount of playtime and were careful to give my babies space when they felt like they were done with human time. I cannot recommend Roziny any more, they will take amazing care of your fur babies!!”
“Tristen took wonderful care of Rubie, visiting three times a day for several days. She consistently went above and beyond, often staying longer than the visit required, and playing with Rubie. She sent report cards after every visit and was very communicative. She asked good questions and followed my instructions. Highly recommend!”

“Lakshmi is wonderful! My cat can be moody with cat sitters but she loved Lakshmi. She followed all instructions and sent me lots of photos and videos of them together. She was willing to also feed the birds outside too. She's very communicative and friendly as well. I definitely recommend her to take care of your pets.”
About: I have experience watching dogs for family and friends, and I enjoy spending time with them and building a trusting relationship. I enjoy interacting with dogs to help them feel comfortable and safe. I’m going into my first year of college, so I wanted to find something flexible that I would enjoy doing and that would work well around my school schedule. I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and are let outside when needed. I also enjoy playing with them and spending time with them so they feel happy and comfortable.
About: I've had a lot of experience with dogs throughout my life including really anxious and shy doggos. Nurturing, attentive, and enthusiastic about taking care of animals. I have an extremely flexible/part time schedule in my "real life" so I have flexibility for you and yours as well! I am available through the day on week days and weekends while you work to support your precious animal. :) I currently live in an apartment with my adult golden retriever. She is great with other animals, sweet, well mannered, and doesn’t chew on anything. Due to the size of my place I can only board smaller breeds at this time. If I am house sitting for you I will need to bring my dog with me. I'm neat and tidy and like to leave things as if I've never been there or better.
About: I have taking care of many different types of dogs in my life. I have found varies creative ways to keep them entertained, loved, and well groomed. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend when you book with me! I go to school in the morning and have the rest of the day at my house. I help out with the football team so they will get plenty of time to exercise and be social with other humans allowed. I have a room in my apartment that has a crate, couch, and a recliner to help them be as comfortable as possible. They will be in my sight at all times so there will be no worries for anything happening to them like running away or getting into anything dangerous.
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.

I have experience with medications, baths, and even subcutaneous fluids. I love to take care of animals and I plan to apply to vet school. Your pets are in happy hands with me! *Currently not house sitting because I cannot stay overnights, but this service will be available again in the future! I work a flexible 9-5 so I will be able to see animals first thing in the morning and then for several hours in the evening. If necessary, I can also stop by on my lunch break. Weekends are completely open. I take safety very seriously. Dogs will be supervised when outside and always leashed when on walks. I understand the short limits for young puppies. I ensure litter box cleanliness when caring for cats to keep the air quality safe. I know needle safety if subcutaneous injections are necessary.

About: I have been taking care of my family's animals since I was born, dogs primarily. I have also pet sat for families in my neighborhood and always recieve a positive report. In the past I have even had clients recommend me to their other friends who were in need of pet services. I specifically enjoy caring for seniors and aging animals. I currently work very flexible hours and I have availability primarily on nights and weekends. My home and car are clean smoke free environments. I will work with you and your pet(s) to ensure safe quality care. If you select me as your pet sitter I will work to ensure that both you and your furry client(s) are comfortable, safe, and happy.

About: Hi! I’m Alesha, a reliable and caring pet lover based in the area. I’m new to Rover, so I’m currently offering discounted rates to build my client base. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and can help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, and playtime. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to send photo updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time but I’m looking to make extra money by hopefully walking your dog on weekends or after 5pm on weekdays. I enjoy dogs and being outside and can’t think of a better way to make some extra money than that! I have a black lab that can come on the walk with your pet or not, if you choose not that is fine. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or take him/her to a park either is fine.
“Ashleigh is fantastic! She did recurring drop-in visits for our cats while we were away for a few weeks. Her communication is excellent - she would let me know when arriving, when leaving, also sent pics of kitties, and let me know if there were any questions or concerns. She is dependable, trustworthy, and considerate. Plus the kitties loved her! I would absolutely hire her again. And I have already recommended her services to a friend.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 471 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across College Station. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in College Station. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
