“Tracy and Todd were amazing! They kept such good care of our goldendoodle, Haven. Tracy sent many pictures to us and updated us daily on how she was doing. We are so thankful for them and definitely our dog sitter for the future. Highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable host.”
“London was great! Georgie came home happy and relaxed after a 9-day stay while I was traveling. I got daily updates and felt reassured the entire time that Georgie was in good hands.”
“Mikayla and Stephen were amazing dog sitters! I received several updates a day and fun videos and pictures. They made me feel super comfortable with leaving Coach and Poppy. If ever back in Bryan, I will be using them again!”
“Deanna was great! Easy to work with and my dog and cat were well taken care of! Also very flexible with timing and willing to work with me even though it was short notice. Great experience overall!”
About: I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter with previous experience caring for pets and house sitting. I’ve been around animals my whole life and understand the importance of following routines, being attentive, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own dog and am used to planning my day around feeding, walks, and making sure pets get the attention they need. My schedule is flexible, and I’m very responsible about showing up on time and following the routine each owner provides. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m also very respectful of the home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. Most importantly, I give each pet plenty of attention, patience, and care.
“Olga was great! She was awesome about giving us updates and tips for Watson’s return home. She also was super accommodating to our late night pickup which we were so grateful for! Her other dogs were so sweet and seeing them play with Watson made me so happy! We would highly recommend if you want your pup to have a blast while you’re away!”
“Jessica took excellent care of Zeus (my 85lb lab) over the week of Christmas. She sent me pictures and videos of him every day. I could tell he was happy and comfortable in her home from the videos. And he enjoyed playing with her 3 dogs and sharing toys. I can't recommend her enough! And we certainly plan to use her services again the next time we go out of town.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs—both small and large—so I’m very comfortable handling different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I previously worked at PetSmart as both a pet care associate and a dog trainer, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs of all temperaments, as well as cats and exotic pets. My training background allows me to better understand animal behavior, reinforce good habits, and handle pets with patience and confidence. Outside of work, I’m known for rescuing stray animals and even helping injured wildlife whenever I can—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have two dogs, two cats, and a snake of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Whether your pet needs structured care, playtime, walks, or just extra love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the mornings, during lunch, and after 4 PM. I also offer boarding in my home and can provide a safe, comfortable environment for your pet while you’re away. On weekends, I have full availability and can dedicate my time to caring for your pet, whether that’s drop-ins, walks, or boarding. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having company. When I’m away from home, I crate my dogs to ensure they stay safe and secure, and I’m happy to follow your preferences regarding crating or routines for your pet. I always take a thoughtful, attentive approach to introductions and supervision to make sure all pets feel comfortable and stress-free in my home. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be in a safe, structured, and loving environment while in my care.
“Roy was awesome! Our dog definitely had a blast with his visit there! Roy has a dog run that gives them the best exercise! He also gave many walks around the property! My dog seemed to be very fond of him! When we got home he slept the rest of the day! Thank you for giving such good care! We will be back!”
About: I’ve had pets for 6 years now. I got my first Ragdoll cat in 2020, then raised a black Labrador from a puppy in 2021. We spent a lot of time together and went on a lot of trips, so he’s pretty used to new places and changes. My friends used to call my pets “travel pets.” In 2024, I also got a Siamese cat. I’m very used to having pets around all the time and spending long hours with them. I really enjoy being with animals. Being around pets makes me happy and gives me a lot of energy, and I’m more than happy to spend time just hanging out with them, playing, walking, or keeping them company. I’m a PhD student at Texas A&M, and I mostly work from home since my work is computer-based. I don’t need to go into an office except for occasional meetings, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I usually like to take pets out first thing after I wake up, and during the day I have plenty of breaks where I’m happy to spend time playing with them or just hanging out. I’m around most of the day, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I often watch my friends’ pets, especially when they go home for holidays or travel, so I’m used to caring for pets that are new to me. I’m pretty good at getting pets to feel comfortable quickly, and I always take things slow and let them set the pace. I keep my place clean and calm, and I’m careful about safety and routines. I want pets to feel safe and relaxed, not stressed.
About: Currently working from home, I have more than enough time to take care of your furry family members. I recently lost my senior pittie, and I miss hearing tippy taps on my hardwood floor. Pets are allowed (and encouraged) on couches and beds in the home, but if yours aren’t allowed, I can keep up with your expectations. I am well versed in feeding routines, walking preferences, and treat allowances. I am experienced in administering medication including injections. Dogs must be cat friendly as I have 2 resident cats. I currently work from home, so I am available for constant care for your pet. Whether they nap most of the day or need to be attached at the hip, they will get the best of care. I have a fully fenced yard and a dog friendly home. If your pet prefers to be kenneled if I run errands or while they sleep, I will keep up with the routine they are comfortable with.
“Winnie loved staying with Mason and his dog, who was a great playmate for our girl who had just lost her companion. He was diligent with communicating with us about a minor concern that came up during her stay, and we definitely felt like she was in good hands!”
About: i’ve grown up with animals all around me, and i love caring for them as well as showing much attention to them. it is a true passion of mine outside of volunteering at the shelter and i’d love to take care of your pet! as a student away from home, i have multiple gaps in my day where i miss my own little puppy. i love caring for animals, no matter the size or breed and i am a true animal lover. i volunteer at the shelter so i figured why not do pet sitting as well? i live at a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of sidewalk for your dog (or cat!) to take a nice walk and beautiful grass to roll in. i have my own bedroom and en-suite bathroom, so all of your pet’s supplies will stay secured and i have ample space for your pet to move around! i love to pay pets lots of attention and cater to their needs, whether i have to entertain them by spinning on my head or we sleep in all day. animals are a true passion of mine!
About: as someone who has worked with children and pets frequently in the past, i’m very committed to providing responsible care, as well as it bringing joy to my heart to spend time with sweet little furry friends! i am currently unemployed, so willing to be flexible with whatever timing! i’m super excited to go for walks/take dogs to the park! i also have a border collie puppy of my own that i would prefer to take with me to visits, but can leave at home if that causes unease! i have a wonderful border collie puppy named Astrid and we have a lot of fun with her, we enjoy playing fetch and tug of war with her, and she’s learning a lot through her routines and training
About: I grew up with animals my entire life, and have always watched neighbors and family's pets throughout the years. From puppies and kittens, to senior dogs and cats, the joy and love they bring is priceless. I enjoy walking dogs and working on basic commands, playing their favorite games, and of course some back scratches and belly rubs if needed! Can bathe, give medicines as necessary. I have a flexible schedule as a realtor with my associates help, and can make appointments around pet's schedules. I'm flexible weekdays and weekends for the most part. I have a large fenced backyard and a big dog who loves to play with dogs of all sizes. My year old cat loves to play with my dog and could be separated if need be. Can kennel visiting dog if preferred.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young. Growing up my mother and I volunteered for dog rescue services. Doing that I cared for dogs big and small, old and young!! My family and friends often have me take care of their pets while they are away, so I’ve had plenty of experience! I currently go to school, so when school is in session there will be limited hours I can pet sit, however after school and on weekends, or summer I am free often! For the service of checking in on your dog at home, I can feed, water, play, and crate your pets whenever needed. I don’t mind doing anything that will help take the best care of your pet!
“Brooke did a great job taking care of sprout. She was very kind, caring, thoughtful, and communicative through the entire process. She and her husband made a a great effort to make me and sprout feel safe and comfortable. They sent pictures to keep me updated which really helped me feel at ease. They are honestly some of the nicest people I have ever met and they really care about animals. Sprout had a blast with their dog and it made me happy to know he had a fun vacation and made a new friend while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again if I need a dog sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - College Station
My first Brooke for my sweet pups. I was a little concerned since it was my first time leaving them with the new sitter. My regular sitter was out of town, I was so blessed to be able to find her last minute, and I was not worried about them at all. She updated me throughout and sent photos. I would highly recommend her. Her communication was a 10!!! I will definitely be sending both of my sweeties over there again
Very professional and willing to work with late nights and early mornings! My dog has heavy anxiety and has a hard time trusting strangers, but warmed up very quickly to Ashley, which was a huge stress off of my shoulders! Frequent updates with photos, and great at communicating. Absolutely will book her again if I need a sitter in the future!!!
Paul was wonderful about keeping me updated as this was my first time ever using Rover and I was very anxious about it. And when my flight home was affected he was great about understanding those changes. If he is free the next time I need care for Anakin I would pick him every time!
Robert is my absolute “go to” when I need to travel and cannot bring Sammie along. Trustworthy care, with the added bonus that my dog gets a now-familiar pack of dog-buddies to keep him company, with a nicely shaded back yard oasis to romp around in — and a little pool to splash into & cool off! Thanks Robert!
Delaney was the sweetest person. She made our pups feel at home with a fresh blanket and new stuffies just for them. I couldn’t have asked more of her for communication, she answered in a timely manner any time I’d message. She made sure to learn about any quirks our dogs might have. They came home smelling good, happy and ready to nap (which was very nice after getting back from a road trip). Delaney is professional and took great care of our 2 girls for almost a week, highly recommend!
Adoriam is a one of a kind pet sitter. She kept my dog Taj at her place for over a week and he was just so clearly cared for and pampered. She’s mature, extremely responsible and reliable, and also just a warm wonderful person. We adore her and will always use her for our dog sitting from now on!
Selena was a life saver when I needed last-minute boarding for Roscoe! She treated him like family and took exceptional care of him throughout his entire stay. She updated me with pictures and their activities daily! I had total peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands, and I will definitely be booking with her again!
Tamara was great with King. He was recovering from surgery and needed meds while I was gone, so I was pretty stressed about leaving him, but she made the whole process easy. She kept me updated, took good care of him, and gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. King came back happy and healthy. I'd definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter.
It was wonderful to have my Ginger in Joy's care! This was my first boarding experience after recently moving to the area and it was easeful throughout. It was a last minute booking, yet Joy was able to accommodate for a meet and greet beforehand. Her attentiveness and great communication throughout made things comfortable, and I truly appreciated the daily pictures and updates. I'd recommend Joy to anyone wanting a great one on one experience for their pup!
Maylis took great care of my dog. She was very communicative throughout her time pet sitting and sent daily pictures as well. My dog seemed comfortable in his pictures and happy when I picked him up. Maylis also informed me of his seasonal allergies kicking in towards the end of his stay with her. I would recommend her to anyone!

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.
96% 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 TX 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.
