âAndrea was an absolute delight with our fur babies! She has a caring and positive vibe to herself. She was attentive to my Zeus & Allie! Treated them as her very own which made our trip a lot better not having to worry about our fur babies back home. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a Sitter, Andrea was amazing and always sent me updated photos of what my fur babies were doing. I would request her services again in the near future. Thank you so much Andrea!â
âDaisy 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.

About: !!$20 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), Iâve 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. Itâs 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. Youâll never have to wonder how theyâre doing; you'll get to see them relaxing, playing, and enjoying their routine in real-time.
âBrianna took such good care of Margot & Louis! I really appreciate all the updates and notes. She really went above and beyond and I will certainly be using her services again. đâ

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.
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! đ¤
This was our second time using Noelleâs services for dog sitting and she did another great job! Sheâs very good at sending updates, photos, even cleaning up after our dogsâ 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 :-)

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 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 .
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
