“Paul was amazing with our dogs, Zoe and Lola! Zoe is still a puppy, and he paid close attention to her throughout his stay, giving us complete peace of mind. He kept us updated, took wonderful care of both girls and our home, and made the entire experience stress-free. We would absolutely book Paul again and highly recommend him!”
“Noelle did such a great job taking care of our dogs for a few days while we were out of town! She was easy to communicate with, took our dogs on walks, sent update photos, and left the house nice and clean when we returned. She even offered to get more dog food in the event we ran out! We will definitely use her services again!”
“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.”
“Sophia did a wonderful job looking after our home and two dogs. They were calm and looked after when we got home, the house was clean and she was even kind enough to take water the garden for us. She communicated very well before during and after, was punctual and honest.”
“Amelia is the best!! She takes such good care of our 3 dogs. I highly recommend Amelia if you need a loving, trusting and caring sitter for your fur babies. She sends photos, is always responsive if we need to talk and she asks questions when needed. Thank you for taking care of our home and animals, Amelia! :-)”
“Carol did an excellent job with our critters and house sitting. She sent pictures and updates. She was prompt to reply. We really appreciated the flexibility of Carol to work with our schedules. Our senior pup has eye problems. Carol came by twice before the booking to meet everyone and make sure all was good with the senior gal and her eye drop routine. I would recommend Carol to others and will use her in the future.”
“She was amazing!! She sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated on my pup!! She arranged a meetup beforehand so my pup could meet her before and make sure she was comfortable!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: !!$40 dollars off with my code ADORID23970!! https://www.rover.com/sit/adorid23970 I have loved and cared for pets of all kinds since I was 6 years old. Over the years, I've gained extensive, hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, including raising 13 cats at one time and training my own Rottweiler with high-level obedience. I also volunteer at the Paws and Claws animal shelter, which has given me great experience handling reptiles and unique pets. I am highly experienced in crisis management for dogs and cats of all ages, and I've even helped safely deliver 4 litters of kittens and 2 litters of puppies. Because I know how important your fur babies are, I am incredibly communicative and prioritize full transparency, providing regular photo and text updates to give you total peace of mind. I work in a biology lab just 5 minutes from my home, typically from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Because my hours can occasionally shift a bit (like 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM or 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM), I’ve built a highly reliable routine around my cycling and online classes to ensure your pet gets constant care. Since I travel entirely by bike, I am always just a quick, predictable ride away. Please note that because I commute by bicycle, I am unable to provide pet transportation or pick up your animals. For all services, I will either visit your home directly, or you can drop your pet off at our agreed-upon location. Your pet's safety, comfort, and peace of mind mean everything to me. I live in a university-approved, pet-friendly ESA space on the Texas A&M campus. It’s a calm, secure, entirely smoke-free home designed to be a relaxing safe haven for visiting animals. Here is exactly how I maintain a secure and trustworthy environment: - When Boarding: My space is kept meticulously clean and entirely pet-proofed; meaning no loose wires, harmful clutter, or accessible human food. Having raised 13 cats and safely delivered litters, I am hyper-aware of 'escape artist' behaviors. I always double-check doors and windows before they open, and I practice strict threshold control so no pup slips out. Your pet will enjoy full couch privileges, a quiet area to decompress, and a tidy, safe space to play. - When House Sitting: I treat your home with the absolute highest level of respect. I keep common areas spotless, follow your exact trash and tidiness preferences, and ensure your home is locked up tight every single time I step out. I strictly adhere to your house rules, if your pet has specific boundaries, a strict diet, or a precise medication schedule, I follow it to a T. - Constant Communication: To keep you completely at ease, I love sending regular photo updates and quick texts throughout the stay. You’ll never have to wonder how they’re doing; you'll get to see them relaxing, playing, and enjoying their routine in real-time.
“We came home to happy doodles and a very clean house. We had to extend our trip by 1 day unexpectedly, and Allie was very flexible giving us peace of mind with our pups. She even made sure one of the doodles received her meds (needed an extra dose since we were gone an extra night) unprompted by us. She washed all of the linens she used and made our bed, which was a dream to come home to after a 10 hour drive. We would absolutely hire Allie again, and highly recommend her for overnight care of fur babies.”
About: I absolutely love pets and the sweetness they contain. Its gives me happiness and fulfillment to ensure they are well taken care of with someone who is trustworthy and true. I am completely free onMondays Wednesdays and on Fridays i am free after 12! Saturdays and Sundays I am also free but after 2 pm. I will respect my clients house and their boundaries of course. I will ensure I completely take care of their pets and make sure they are fully taken care of to their owners need,

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 :-)
Paul was amazing with our dogs, Zoe and Lola! Zoe is still a puppy, and he paid close attention to her throughout his stay, giving us complete peace of mind. He kept us updated, took wonderful care of both girls and our home, and made the entire experience stress-free. We would absolutely book Paul again and highly recommend him!
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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 311 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.

- 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.
