“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!”
“Nora was amazing! She communicated well and sent us multiple updates on all our pets. She really took great care of them and sent us lots of pictures. Would 100% use her services again. Thank you so much Nora!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working with animals. I completed a Veterinary Assistant training program and gained 500 hours of clinical and ranch animal experience. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and routines and understand the importance of patience, safety, and consistency. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by treating every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I currently work part-time and am taking online summer classes, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. Because my coursework is online, I can spend quality time with your pet while keeping up with my studies. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their individual needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, exercise preferences, and any special instructions you provide. I communicate regularly with owners by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I believe building trust with both pets and their owners is the foundation of excellent pet care.
“Katelynn was very kind and communicative. We had some last minute changes and she was very easy to work a new plan out with. My boys loved her and we'll be using again when we're in need!”
“Adoriam went above and beyond for our fur babies! She handled a difficult situation with our pups extremely well and treated all of our animals with love and care. Highly Recommend!”
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.
About: I have worked at a boarding clinic since August of 2025. My family and I have lots of dogs that are varying breeds. I have lots of experience with different breeds, sizes, and ages! I am a Sophomore business major at A&M so I do have classes. I also work part time at a boarding clinic and usually get 10-15 hours a week. Whenever I am not busy I would love to take care of your pets! I like to take my time especially when it comes to a more nervous dog. I deal with plenty of anxious dogs my job, so I like to make sure they’re as comfortable as they can be before advancing into anything.
“Tatiana was great! She was quick to respond to my booking request and communicated a lot leading up to the visit to determine what my cats needed. She documented if they ate, drank, or used the litter box during the drop-in visit, which is more than my other cat sitters have typically done. Based on the photos she sent, my cats were comfortable around her! I will definitely be having her stop by again!”
“Allie is great! She looked after our cat for a long holiday weekend and when we came back he was very happy and super cared for. She followed all of our instructions to a tee and was always prompt. Would definitely book her again and recommend her ten-fold!”
“Emily was able to help us out on very short notice and did a great job! Our mini Aussie can be a little tough but she was able to make her comfortable. Thank you so much!!”
“Rachel was so great to work with!! She took the time to understand exactly what my cats needed and left my place cleaner than I left it. She was very knowledgeable about pet care. My cats were comfortable and in a great mood when I came home.”
About: I am an A&M graduate! I have always grown up with all kinds of pets in my house and have always been an animal lover. I have been helping family and friends care for dogs, cats, rodents, fish, reptiles and farm animals for many years. I grew up involved in FFA raising pigs and cattle and have a pet ball python, two dogs and a cat myself. I hope to be a trusted caregiver for your pet babies! I am currently a stay at home wife (and pet mom) looking to bring in some extra income and available at all times to care for your pets! While I cannot offer my home for boarding your pets, I promise to treat them as I would my own fur babies with love and care.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since sophomore year of high school and I feel pretty comfortable with any dog of any size! I would take very good care of each dog I encounter to ensure they are safe. I’m currently a college student at Texas A&M, so I am more flexible friday through sunday for dog sitting. As well as in the mornings on mondays, wednesday, and friday for dog walking. I always follow the owners instructions on how to best accommodate the dog. And in the clients house I make sure to maintain boundaries and ensure the dog is cared for and safe.
About: I have 4 dogs and have been around and had several different types of dogs! I love all dogs and have had several puppies of different breeds! I am really good with big dogs and puppies! I am a full time student and do not work! My classes are during mid day and are only an hour, therefore my schedule is extremely flexible and weekends are always open! At home I have tiny dogs that constantly need to use the bathroom, while my other dogs don’t they are constantly getting the same amount of love and attention even if they aren’t as demanding as the others! They are walked constantly and played with and loved for
About: I have maintained canine companionship since I was three years old!, My personal dogs were entrusted to my care right from the get-go. Since then, I have accumulated more than 25 years of animal care experience. I have also gained invaluable experience during a three-year tenure as a veterinary assistant, where I assumed the role of lead assistant. This professional role has afforded me extensive exposure to the realm of animal care, granting me a wealth of experience from daily care to emergency training. My expertise spans the entire spectrum of canine and feline diversity, encompassing dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Rest assured, I possess the knowledge, skills, and compassion required to administer the care that each fur baby deserves. I am a graduate student in the College Station/Bryan area, working on a Ph.D. in wildlife biology. If I am not in the field conducting research, my schedule is extremely flexible to provide services at times that work best for you and your pets! My approach to caring for clients' pets is entirely guided by the specific preferences and instructions provided by the owners. I am committed to adhering to all the rules and guidelines set forth by the owners concerning the handling and care of their cherished animals.
About: I have watched and taken care of animals of all sizes and shapes for over 10 years. Trusted by family and friends to watch their precious animals. I can’t have any animals of my own currently so taking care of your babies would fill in the piece that’s missing in my life. I am a senior at Texas A&M so I have a decent amount of time on my hands when I’m not in class or working on campus. I am available for early mornings and different times through the day. Your babies safety and comfort is a top priority. I am open to meeting with you and your animal before the actual booking to see if we would be a good match or to get your animal familiar with me. Following the detailed instructions you leave me is important because you know your home and animal best.

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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
