About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 5 and since then have pet-sat for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and turtles. Additionally, I have 5+ years of experience training and taking care of horses of all ages. I am currently working part-time 11 am to 4:30 pm on Mondays and 8 am to 4:30 pm Tuesday-Thursday. I am completely free Fridays and on the weekend. I am living in an apartment with a closed in grassy courtyard with no way to crate an animal in my home, but I do have a balcony.
“It was so wonderful to have Lailah looking after my cats. She gave me updates every day and they warmed up to her really quickly! I felt safe leaving my cats with her, and everyone was safe and happy when I came home.”
“Lanie was super attentive and caring for my cat while I was out of town! She spent a week doing daily check ins on my pets and left very thorough reports and photos to keep me updated! I really appreciated the time and care she put in to go the extra mile!”
About: I've adored dogs my whole life and have cared for many since I was around 9 years old. I can do pretty much anything for your pets! I have experience walking, playing, grooming, poop-scooping, bathing, and administering different forms of medications (pills, ear drops, anti-fungal paw treatment, oral liquids). I do not reinforce bad habits such as jumping up on people, and I am familiar with dog body language. I have taken care of some of senior dogs, one of which needed help moving around and was mostly blind. High-energy dogs and young puppies are no problem! I do some basic training, too. Let me know if you'd like regular updates and I'll be more than happy to do so! I'm currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I usually work weekends during the day and sometimes a weekday or two. For house sitting, the amount of time I'm there depends on how much I work during the day, but I will be there in the morning and evening/night each day I'm there. I will clarify for you which days I am completely available depending on my schedule for the week if you're interested in my services! I care for client's pets just as they instruct me to, but I employ my own knowledge as well. The safety of the pets comes first, and if I need to make extra visits while the client is gone, I will make more time to do so or visit on my breaks from work if possible. I'll take other dogs out to play, cuddle, on walks, or whatever fits the individual dog's needs or owner's instructions. I follow any instructions given exactly, and ensure I follow them correctly. If I have any questions or need clarification, I won't hesitate to reach out.
“Rylee took such great care of Caine while we were at work. Learned his habits really well and had our Caine waiting to see her when she wasn't scheduled for a visit the next day.”
“Elizabeth was very communicative and took care of our dog (and cats) very well! We can back to a clean house and happy pets! She even left some treats behind for them! A perfect petsitter!”
About: I've been around cats, dogs, and other not so typical pets (rabbits, hamsters, goats) since I was born and currently have a cat and two house rabbits. I've dogsat for family and friends several times for several days to a week (usually for people with multiple dogs, including a pair of huskies). I have experience with small and large (mastiff mix) dogs and with dogs with severe fear around new people. I volunteered at a nonprofit rescue for two years that took dogs from hoarding cases, backyard breeders, and kill shelters, so I have seen a lot and dealt with a lot. I have experience handling and cleaning up after mom dogs and their puppies from birth until adoption and experience with cats with seizures and medication. I am new to Rover, but I hope that knowing these things about me will help you reach out! I'm currently available starting in the late morning (10-11 am) into the early evening (5-6 pm). Mornings and evenings are spent having some quality time with my own pets! I don't do a single thing that I wouldn't want someone else coming into my home to do, and I also don't push it if a pet is weary with me. I just sit down and ignore them until they decide we're okay and then move forward with spending time with them whether they enjoy playing or cuddling or going outside in the backyard more!
“Lezlie is fantastic!! She is professional, nice, reliable and genuinely cares about our dogs. The dogs love her and she is great about sending pictures and updates. Will definitely book again in the future! ”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for dogs for about 4 years. I've helped family, friends, and neighbors by walking, feeding, playing with, and looking after their pets while they were away. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I always take the time to learn each dog's routine and personality. I know every pet is unique, so I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions if needed, and any special requests to help them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My schedule is open and flexible and I'm able to build my schedule around pet care, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to accommodate their routine. I'll work to maintain your pet's normal schedule as closely as possible and make sure they receive lots of love and attention during every visit or stay. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll carefully follow your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I'll provide plenty of attention, keep their environment safe, and send regular updates with photos so you can feel confident they're in good hands.
“Kylie is a wonderful steward to watch over your cat/dogs. She is super attentive and ensures that your child is well taken care of while you’re away. 10/10. Cannot recommend more”
About: I have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they require. I’m comfortable administering daily medications and keeping pets on their regular routines. I’ve also cared for dogs who aren’t always friendly with other dogs, so I take care to keep them safe, calm, and comfortable during their stay. I’ve worked with both crated and non-crated dogs, and my goal is to ensure every pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work a 9–5 schedule on weekdays, but I’m available for pet care before and after work. I’m fully available on weekends and love spending that time either relaxing at home or going to the park, which is perfect for pets who enjoy walks and fresh air. Your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and a calm environment during their stay. I live alone in a two-bedroom apartment that gets lots of sunshine in the mornings, which is perfect for pets who love to sunbathe and relax by the window. I grew up with pets and understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable in their environment. I’m also not a stickler about pets being on the couch or bed, so they’re welcome to relax and feel at home here.
“We absolutely loved Jailee! She was so easy to work with and communicated with us the entire time during our trip. She treated our cat like her own family and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of our baby!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life from dogs and cats to larger livestock animals. I have also worked in a vet clinic and know the care these animals deserve and need! I’m currently a full-time student but can plan visits and animals care around my classes! I stay on top of all my commitments and makes sure everything is correct! I have worked in a vet clinic before and know how to properly handle and care for dogs and cats. I am able to carry a crate or any other needs of the animal.
“Amelia came to the rescue last minute when we forgot about an event we had to attend in Austin. We reached out explained the situation and she was willing to mobilize and help! We only used her for one visit, but will be booking her in the future!”

Christina was so great! She responded right away and was so friendly and reassuring. She came by for a meet and greet and made me feel very secure that my pets would be well cared for. She sent pics and feedback from her visits and I will definitely be booking her the next time we need a sitter!!
We are so grateful for the care and attention Cole & Casey gave our pets while we were away. Communication was excellent, and our pets were happy and well cared for when we returned home. We would definitely recommend Cole & Casey and would be using them again.
Faith was so kind and caring with my dog! She sent the sweetest report cards to look at while I was away at work, and went above and beyond my expectations! I know my dog enjoyed her company! I never worried about a thing, she communicated so well. Appreciate her so much! 💗

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a College Station stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in College Station with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 sitter.
