About: I have loved dogs since I was old enough to learn what they are. I have been around dogs since I was a kid. I helped my parents raise a puppy for my grandmother when I was younger. During COVID I spent my time raising my family dog. During my adult life I have volunteered at the Aggieland Humane Society and enjoyed my time there. I love meeting new dogs, taking care of animals and helping people with their pets. For this summer I am only focusing on my online college courses, so I have an empty schedule that I am hoping to fill with meeting dogs. I approach dogs gently, and let them set the tone for our meeting. If the dog does not want me to pet them, I will only do what I need to so that I can take them on a walk. If a dog is energetic, I will play with them in the backyard or a large area. I also am good at following directions and will enjoy completing the directions the owner has left.
About: When people ask me whether I am a dog or cat person, I tell them "both!" I love cats and dogs of all temperaments and needs. I grew up with pets -two stray kittens and several older rescue dogs - and have been one of their primary caregivers since I was 10. I have cared for my friends' companion animals on various occasions over the years. I can do drop-in visits to keep your furbabies on their normal routines, and I am happy to housesit if they prefer lots of company. I am a local A&M graduate student in my 5th year of the program. All of my summer duties (i.e. research, teaching, writing) are online, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can't host in my home out of respect for my roommate's cats, but I am happy to stay with your cats and keep to their normal routines. I take detailed notes and will stick to your instructions!
“Kristina was wonderful with our pup! She works with dogs a lot and it was evident in her dealings with our dog Bud. She spent quality time with him. Walks, playing with him, photos and udates, and making sure he had everything he needed while we were away. I would highly recommend Kristina! We will definitely call on her again!!”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was 15, including pet sitting for friends, family, and others who needed someone dependable to care for their animals. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, check-ins, and overnight stays. I genuinely love animals and enjoy pet sitting for more than just the money. One of my favorite parts is building a relationship with each pet and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, and I am happy to follow any specific instructions to help them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays depending on the day. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they can stay as comfortable and consistent as possible. I take pet safety and trust very seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. At my home, I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely spend time outside and play. I make sure pets are fed, supervised, exercised, and given plenty of attention while in my care. I’m also comfortable caring for pets in their own home and staying overnight when needed. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“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!”

About: I have worked with pets since I was a teen. I am confident in providing medical care as well as supporting behavioral needs. I have worked in the animal care industry for over a decade. I would love the opportunity to be able to care for your fur babies! I currently have very open availability to give your pets the care they deserve! I do not currently have a job so can be available more readily. I promise to care for your pets as if they were my own. My pets are my family and they receive the best care possible. You can often find me spending time with my pup or playing with my kitties
“Makayla was amazing ! She had great communication and made it easy for me to trust her with my cat! She sent me updates every time she went over as well as photos of him! 10/10 recommend !”

About: Hi I’m a student staying in College Station for the summer! I grew up with multiple dogs and a cat so I’m very comfortable with all types of pets. I have a lot of free time this summer and miss spending time with animals. I would love to help out with pets in the area! I currently work part time but limited hours, so I’m available pretty much any time during the week. I am home most of the time, but I try to stay active so I go to the park almost every day to run or walk. I have an open living room space and live on the first floor of my condo. There is a dog park down the street from me which is about a five minute walk, usually empty, and fenced in for them to roam.
About: I have had many dogs in my life from puppies to powder sugar faced pups. I love getting to see different personalities in dogs and what their little quirks are. I couldn’t bring my dog to college so I wanna give that extra energy to someone else’s pup. My classes aren’t taking up a lot of time, so I’m trying to find other things to fill up my schedule. Why not walk some dogs to fill the time. I have had large dogs in the past, so I know how to mediate situations when they have high energy. I have also had to accommodate for my senior dog, when she could not do everything for herself anymore. I also have a cat, that one of my dogs isn’t very fond of, so I have had to keep things peaceful between them. I think safety is very important and try to keep things orderly to prevent any accidents.

About: Hello! Thank you for taking the time to check out my Rover profile. My name is Karla, and I absolutely love to take care of dogs and cats. I have many years of experience having raised my own dog and cat! Vaquero–a very energetic blue heeler–was raised on our family’s ranch and cared for and trained very lovingly by myself! I taught him since he was a little puppy to adulthood and absolutely love playing with him. I have also raised my cat, Maria, from the moment she was a kitten, and she has been my steadfast feline companion ever since! Growing up on the ranch also has given me the opportunity to take care of other cats and dogs and foster a deep appreciation for animals in general. My main tenet when it comes to taking care of my client’s pets is to take care and love them as if they were my own! I will absolutely do my best to make sure your pet has the most enjoyable experience while you, their owner, is able to have the peace of mind that your pet is in very good hands. I also tailor my services to fit specific pet needs, I am more than happy to accommodate whatever service works best for you and your pet. I am looking forward to working with you and to meeting your loved pets! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!! As a graduate student, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm typically only occupied between 10am and 3pm, which means I have plenty of availability in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Outside of those hours I'm flexible and happy to work around whatever schedule works best for you and your pet. When I come to your home, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at ease. I take time to let them warm up to me at their own pace — especially cats, who can be particular about new people in their space. I treat your home with the utmost respect and follow whatever routines and instructions you leave for me, because consistency is what keeps pets happy and stress-free while you're away. I also make sure to keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet's wellbeing and your peace of mind are always my top priority.
About: Hi! My name is Kenzie Baulier and I’m an Animal Science major at Texas A&M, working toward a certificate in Equine Science. I plan to go to veterinary school in the future because caring for animals has always been my passion. I have 4–5 years of experience dog sitting and walking, and I’ve also fostered dogs of different breeds and personalities. In my free time, I volunteer at the Aggieland Humane Society, where I get hands-on experience helping animals in need. Along with small animals, I also work with horses as part of my job at A&M, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’d love the chance to help care for your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾 I work part-time but have a very flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. Fitting in pet care is never an issue, so your pets can get the attention and care they need whenever you need it! I have a fenced-in yard, plus access to a neighborhood dog park and a locked-in grassy field, so your pets can safely run, play, and explore. My roommate has a friendly dog, but I keep him separate when caring for other dogs, ensuring a safe and stress-free environment for your pet.

About: I have experience working at a boarding facility for 2 years-current, which has given me skills in training puppies and providing specialized care for senior dogs. Your pets are in good hands! -additional rates (such as additional dogs/holiday rates) can be discussed per request! Pet care fits really well into my routine. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Since I’m not in school right now, I’m able to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets I watch, whether it’s for walks, check ins, or overnight care. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of playtime and regular walks. In clients' homes, I follow their routines closely, ensuring pets feel secure and loved.
“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: As a former teacher for the past 7 years, I am dependable, detail-oriented, and take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and calm environment. Whether caring for pets, managing daily routines, or looking after your property, I will treat your home and animals as if they were my own. I have experience with both training puppies and caring for senior pets. I work as a Special Education Inclusion Teacher on a contract basis and am currently taking a thoughtful break between assignments to spend time with friends and family while continuing to work responsibly and independently. This means I am able to create my own schedule. I am a lifelong animal lover and previously adopted a dog named Cadeau, who truly was my world. Although he passed away a couple years ago, caring for him shaped the way I approach animals and homes with patience, attentiveness, and deep respect. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your home and pets in someone else’s care. Thank you for entrusting me with your most precious companions and your home while you are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - College Station
Lailah did such a wonderful job taking care of my two senior dogs. They had several potty issues and she still cared for them and cleaned up messes, being mindful of my home as well as my pups. She communicated with me the whole time to keep me updated, and used sound judgment to make decisions when I wasn’t able to be responsive to messages right away. For a difficult pet sitting experience, she went above and beyond to ensure me and my pups were still taken care of!! Hands down probably one of the best Rover sitters I’ve used!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in College Station is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $23 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 511 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
