“Kinsey was so great caring for my two golden retrievers! She was extremely communicative, which was so helpful! She spent a lot of time playing with them and meeting their needs! Would highly recommend booking with her. We also did a last minute booking and and she was extremely accommodating”
“Sarah did a great job for us. We have a very large active young German Shepherd and another midsize dog. Everything at the house was just as we asked and the dogs did not destroy anything. She communicated well with us during the trip and made good decisions on her own. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Ashley was amazing, she watched my cat Phoebe at home for me and kept her happy and active. She also left a postcard and new toy before leaving which was super sweet. Would definitely book again.”
“Amelia took such great care of our dogs. She sent photos while we were away and was so good with all 3 dogs. She stayed in touch and asked questions when she needed to. She braved the downpour of rain to make sure the dogs went outside. Amelia was awesome and so respectful with our home, and I could tell she took care of our dogs and they enjoyed her company. We highly recommend Amelia to take care of your babies 🥰!”
“Daisy was so great with our babies while we were away. She stayed at our house and took care of our dog, cat, bearded dragon, and chickens. She was dependable and respectful. While we were away, a freeze came through and she even took the time to take care of our pipes so they wouldn't be damaged. We highly recommend Daisy, and would definitely book again.”
“Marinna was so sweet! Promptly scheduled a meet and greet shortly after initiating the request, and communicated up until the dates set for the dog sitting. During her stay at my place, she sent me a steady flow of updates/photos of my dogs. Returned home to find puppies tucked safely in their crates, with everything in order. 10/10 would book her again.”
“Linda was so great with our dog, Tex. She stayed overnight with him while we were on vacation and took him on walks. She sent us several photos of their time together. I will hire her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life, helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and providing companionship. I’m very attentive, patient, and gentle, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I work full time on campus, which gives me a consistent schedule along with flexibility during lunch breaks and in the evenings. This allows me to provide reliable care, check-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. I’m also available on weekends and communicate clearly to coordinate schedules that work best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, calm, and reliable, and I make sure pets are well cared for during visits, walks, and evenings. I respect your home, follow instructions closely, and communicate regularly so you feel confident your pet is in safe hands.
“Lindsey was so amazing. I had a last minute pest spraying at my apartment while I was gone and she was able to take my cat to spend the day at the vet so he would be out of the way. I got lots of pictures and messages. I was comfortable knowing that he was in good hands while I was gone. I even came home to a perfectly clean apartment! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Carol was wonderful to work with. She was incredibly attentive to our girls and consistently provided thoughtful daily updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. I trust her completely with our pets and would absolutely hire her again in the future. Thank you so much, Carol!”
About: I have owned multiple breeds of dogs my entire life! I have a lot of experience working with my blue heeler/collie mix, and we have even taken an obedience course! I used to do competitive dog shows in 4H with my heeler as well. I have house sat multiple times. I have taken care of dogs such as labs, rotties, and I even have done farm chores for people while they are away. I currently care for two cats of my own and understand feeding schedules, litter maintenance, medication administration, and the importance of respecting each cat’s personality and boundaries. I grew up in 4H and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, show hogs, cattle, horses, chickens, ducks, and other farm animals. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I strive to make them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work here in town as a legal assistant. My current schedule allows for flexibility during evenings and weekends. In addition, I have reliable transportation. I am very eager to accommodate all kinds of pet owners! I have given both cats and dogs medications, and have cared for both young and old animals. I can clean up after dogs and scoop litter boxes, and other tasks that involve keeping a client’s home clean and safe! I really value reading an animal’s body language and making sure to treat them with the upmost respect.
“Kayelee was great! Took care of the dogs and cats during a weekend of thunderstorms. She also diligently tracked the care of the animals and provided updates throughout the week. Would definitely book her again when we go out of town!”
“Faith did such a great job taking care of our three dogs! One of our dogs requires a lot of medication and specific feeding instructions and Faith did a fantastic job taking care of them. The dogs were so calm when we came home!”
“Madison was quick to respond to my request for a home sitter. She was kind, personable, and my dog appeared to connect with her quickly. She was helpful in answering questions while we were away and kept me updated a few times while we were away. She took care of my dogs medical needs while we were away. She offered to strip the bed she slept in and took the trash out before our return home. Upon our return home, I mentioned her name in conversation with a family member and my dog was quick to turn his head as if he knew who I was talking about which tells me he connected very well with her. I recommend using Madison as a home sitter.”
About: Loving pet sitter! Experience in a veterinary office; I care for my own puppy and regularly help with family members’ pets, including dogs and cats. As a mom of a two-year-old and a Speech Language Pathology Assistant with Bryan ISD, I have a structured weekday schedule and am available for pet care during evenings and weekends. I am also fully available during school holidays and breaks, making me a great fit for families who travel or need consistent, reliable care during extended times away. I prioritize safety by following pet care instructions closely, keeping a secure environment, and using positive, gentle handling. I build trust through reliable, loving care.
“Crystal is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Within 10 seconds of our first meet and greet, I could tell Apollo felt safe with her. She takes such good care of him, gives him all the love, and sends the cutest photo updates. I know I’m leaving him in the best care when she’s watching him. Can’t recommend her enough!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Station
Andi is incredible. She took exceptional care of my very needy senior German Shepherd and treated my home with the same level of respect and attention. Her updates, photos, and communication were consistent and reassuring throughout the entire stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.
Julie was AMAZING! This was our first time ever using Rover, and she completely exceeded our expectations. She watched our German Shepherd, Stark, and did an incredible job keeping us updated, making sure he was well cared for, and giving us peace of mind while we were away. It was so reassuring knowing he was in such great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. Highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Lindsey was so amazing. I had a last minute pest spraying at my apartment while I was gone and she was able to take my cat to spend the day at the vet so he would be out of the way. I got lots of pictures and messages. I was comfortable knowing that he was in good hands while I was gone. I even came home to a perfectly clean apartment! I would definitely book with her again.
Emily sat for my 5 pets over the weekend at my house and was the dream petsitter. I've been using Rover for 10 years and she is one of the great ones who you try to rebook every time you need a sitter. She was extremely conscientious about the routines of each pet, used great judgment when random things arose (one of the pets is a puppy, another one is an escape-artist cat). Most of all, I could tell that she wasn't trying to avoid being at my house which sometimes is a sense I get with others. She's kind, patient, mature, hard working, and respectful. Just a dream. Thank you Emily!
Maddison was wonderful! We were gone for a week, and our pups were loved and well taken care of. Madison was communicating with me about them, she played with them and followed directions exactly. She took great care of our home. And before she left, she cleaned their bowls and eating areas.
We had a great experience leaving our 2 Dobermans with Ashley. She was a great communicator, took great care of my babies, great care of our home and even watered our garden and fed treats to my goats while we were gone. I will definitely call upon her again!
Rylee was just great! She was very responsible, loved on and played with our Golden Retriever Archie, kept things very straight and neat, and sent us daily updates with pictures. Archie absolutely loved her! We were very comfortable leaving our dog with Rylee and will use her again!
Lailah was very sweet and accommodating for a relatively last minute booking! She communicated and sent updates regularly so I never had to worry that my pup was lonely or bored. She left the house spotless too with a surprise sweet treat to enjoy when I got home! Definitely would recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - College Station
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in College Station on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 295 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across College Station. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in College Station. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
