“This was the 2nd time we had Ashley stay with our dogs. She did a great hob. I felt very comfortable with her. She was a good communicator and sent photos. She left house clean and everything went perfectly!”
“Anastasia is so sweet and was the perfect caregiver for our lab mix, Daisy. She was very easy to communicate with, and sent pictures daily, putting us at ease while we were on vacation. I will definitely request Anastasia again when needed, and recommend her to others.”
“Isabel was wonderful! She was great at communicating leading up to the trip and sent regular updates about Ruby while I was away! The house was also super tidy when I came back. Would have her house/dog sit again!”
“Jessica and her fiancée are amazing. I left my 1 year old golden retriever with them for an entire week. Griffey is still a little rambunctious, but he seemed to have a great time playing in their backyard and with Jessica’s other dogs! In addition, Jessica sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the week which put my mind at ease. I would definitely use her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little and have always had big dogs so im not afraid of them. I've pet sit for my friends and family many times and have had no issues at all even with their older dogs that need medicine at specific times or young puppies that are very acccident prone. Im a student but have found a lot of extra time on my hands that even my cat doesn't want to deal with. So im available for any job most weekdays. Im available after 3:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays for walks or playtime. And afternoons after 5 on Monday Wednesday and Fridays for any late night pet sitting. I have a fenced yard and a big living room with parks near me that are great for walks. For clients home im very adaptive and can keep pets occupied and cared for depending on the service.
“Emma was wonderful! She’s very nice and professional! I was a little nervous have someone that Mika didn’t know come to take care of her but Emma was fantastic! Will definitely book with Emma again to watch Mika!”
“Heather was great at communicating leading up to the trip and sent regular updates about Ruby while I was away! The house was also super tidy when I came back. Would have her house/dog sit again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Station
I appreciate Robert being able to take this Josie sitting request at the last minute after I had a previous sitter cancel. He kindly provided updates in the morning and at night without me asking. Was able to help with small house sitting duties besides taking care of my pup. I appreciate that the house was left as I left it. Would recommend Robert to anyone else!
Ashley was great as a house sitter for our 3 older dogs. She took care of special food/diets, medication, and schedules without any issues. She was a great communicator and very respectful of our home. We felt at ease knowing that she was there with our pack while we were away. She gave us great updates daily. We look forward to using her again in the future!
Paul did an amazing job taking care of our dogs over the weekend! He was super personable, attentive and great with the girls. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
Lillian was absolutely amazing with all of my animals! I have quite a few pets with different routines and needs, and she handled everything so well. She was very responsive, reliable, and made me feel completely comfortable being away from home knowing they were being taken care of. She followed all of my instructions, kept me updated, and was so sweet with all of them. I really appreciate how flexible and easy she was to communicate with, especially since managing multiple animals can be a lot! I would absolutely trust Lillian to watch them again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Lillian! 🤍
This was our second time using Noelle’s services for dog sitting and she did another great job! She’s very good at sending updates, photos, even cleaning up after our dogs’ messes, and leaving our house in great condition. We will be using her again in the future!
Trinity is incredible with our older German Shepherd. We are pet owners that have always taken our girl anytime we can and now are unable to due to her age. As expected she has more needs these days and Trinity is very attentive, very willing to help us with any requests we may have (even food restrictions/meds/etc), she has a very kind and caring nature. I was very lucky to find her and am beyond thankful anytime she is able to help us.
Layla was excellent. She took great care of Willie in our home took him for walks and played with him. Gave meds as directed. She txt us pics and it was very communicative with us during her stay with Willie. We would definitely recommend her in the future and will use her in the future.
Amelia is the best! We love having Amelia take care of our fur babies, as she is kind, patient and always loving with them. We appreciate her so much! We never worry about them when we're out of town when Amelia takes care of them. If you need a responsible, trustworthy, caring sitter, Amelia is our only choice :-)
We had the pleasure of having Allie house sit for us again. She left the house in great condition and cleaned up after herself and the pets! She is reliable and I know my pets had a great time and were in great hands. Thank you so much Allie! We are so lucky to have someone we can trust and rely on

The average cost of House Sitting in College Station is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $53 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred College Station walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in College Station maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
