Our dog Taco had a BLAST! We went on vacation, but apparently so did Taco. Gisella sent us pictures of Taco 2-3 times a day and was very responsive. We can’t say enough good things about the family, and they worked with us on dropoff/pickup even though we booked with short notice. I highly recommend leaving your pet with Gisella if you want them to be left in a loving home with a loving family. We will definitely be booking with Gisella in the future.

Awesome cat sitter. She took amazing care of my Mango, gave regular updates on how she was doing and whenever she was fed, used her litter box, and more. Would 100% recommend Shyla and I would totally use her as a sitter again!

About: I began pet sitting in high school, visiting clients’ homes to feed their dogs and give them playtime while owners were away. Over time, this grew into a passion for understanding canine behavior. My interest in psychology, especially behavioral and humanistic approaches, along with my love for dogs, led me to earn my certification as a professional trainer. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, boarding, or housesitting, I ensure every dog is enriched and cared for. I welcome all breeds and temperaments as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible for all types of dog care—except boarding and daycare. I use positive reinforcement to help keep your pup both physically and mentally stimulated. I'm versatile and reliable, and I’m fluent in both English and Spanish to ensure smooth communication with all pet parents. I offer companionship and affection to pets in the absence of their owners, maintaining their routine and minimizing stress. In addition I maintain contact with the owners to update them on their pet's activities and wellbeing.

About: Hi, I’m Matt — your friendly neighborhood sitter in West Bryan! I believe pets deserve a little vacation of their own while you’re away — full of comfort, play, and genuine care. I grew up with dogs and have always loved their company — big, small, shy, or silly, they all have their own personalities, and I enjoy getting to know each one. I’m calm, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s a nap on the couch, a walk in the sunshine, or just quiet company, I make sure your furry friend feels loved and secure. I don’t have pets at home right now, so your pup gets my full attention. My schedule is flexible on weekdays, which makes it easy to fit in your routine — from drop-ins to overnight stays. I’m always happy to send photo updates and keep you connected while you’re away. Because when you travel, your dog shouldn’t just “make do” — they should have a great time too. My flexible weekday schedule means your dog’s “vacation” runs on their time — not mine! Whether that’s a morning stroll, lunchtime visit, or cozy overnight stay, I’m around when they need company. Because dogs deserve vacations and safe spaces! My home is quiet, pet-free, and cozy — the kind of spot pups settle into easily. I keep things calm, follow your care instructions closely, and always supervise outdoor time. Think of it as a stress-free stay for your dog — and peace of mind for you.

About: I grew up on a farm. Have had numerous dogs, cats and other species. I have worked at a pet resort and am currently a vet tech working at a local hospital. I am currently doing school and working part- time, but I know how to manage my time in between. For example, I love taking dogs on walks and doing interactive activities with them! I currently do have a senior dog that can keep your fur baby company. I have a fenced in yard, but I do also do walks. My dog goes on 2-3 walks a day + gets time outside in my back yard whenever she wants. She’s on a strict feeding schedule and has dietary restrictions which I also accommodate.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs—both small and large—so I’m very comfortable handling different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I previously worked at PetSmart as both a pet care associate and a dog trainer, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs of all temperaments, as well as cats and exotic pets. My training background allows me to better understand animal behavior, reinforce good habits, and handle pets with patience and confidence. Outside of work, I’m known for rescuing stray animals and even helping injured wildlife whenever I can—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have two dogs, two cats, and a snake of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Whether your pet needs structured care, playtime, walks, or just extra love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the mornings, during lunch, and after 4 PM. I also offer boarding in my home and can provide a safe, comfortable environment for your pet while you’re away. On weekends, I have full availability and can dedicate my time to caring for your pet, whether that’s drop-ins, walks, or boarding. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having company. When I’m away from home, I crate my dogs to ensure they stay safe and secure, and I’m happy to follow your preferences regarding crating or routines for your pet. I always take a thoughtful, attentive approach to introductions and supervision to make sure all pets feel comfortable and stress-free in my home. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be in a safe, structured, and loving environment while in my care.

About: I have the ability to treat your fur babies just as I treat my own- like family. I'm a mom with a son who can be your dog's best stand in pal while you're away. I have a dog friendly vehicle that can take your babies to the park for a nice change of scenery. I also have experience walking larger dogs and puppies that pull on the leash. If your dogs got it, I can handle it! I have deshedding brushes and nail clippers for larger and smaller sized dog if your pup needs a little extra TLC between groomer visits. I also have harnesses in small-large sizes and all kinds leashes adequate for your dog's learning level for on leash walks. I've been around dogs my whole life and know what it takes to become a great, and trustworthy friend for your pup. My schedule is open mainly on the weekends and weekday evenings. Thank you for your consideration ☺️! I'm currently in school full time, so evenings are dedicated family and pet care time for play and dinner with extra potty breaks worked in as needed. Whether you have a yard or not, I am totally prepared for creating a fun and enriching visit for your animals. I have Medium and Large sized Chuck-It toys for fetch, ropes for tug-of-war, and also various types of cat toys for play time. I am capable of keeping your fur babies feeding and potty schedule as normal as possible to minimize their stress while you're away!

About: I have loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience caring for not only dogs and cats, but also sheep and horses. I’ve been responsible for animals since I was young and have developed a strong passion for providing them with loving, attentive care. I am experienced with pets of all ages, including senior animals, and I will always ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and treated like family while they’re in my care. Pet care would be part of my everyday schedule. I would plan my day around feeding times, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure each pet gets attention and comfort. I’m used to being responsible and checking in on animals multiple times throughout the day, so I can easily adjust my routine to meet their needs. In my own home or a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime based on their energy level and personality. I also keep their space clean by picking up after them, cleaning litter boxes or accidents right away, and making sure their environment stays safe and calm.

About: I provide calm, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with puppies (including basic training, potty routines, and leash skills) as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra patience. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented—I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always have peace of mind. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, consistency, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I prioritize structure, consistency, and being present. I plan my days around scheduled visits, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets reliable, on-time care. I’m flexible with my schedule, which allows me to accommodate early mornings, evenings, and weekend needs. On a daily basis, I make time for walks, playtime, feeding routines, and any special care like training or medications. Throughout the week, I stay organized to ensure every pet gets the attention they deserve without feeling rushed. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, it never feels like a chore—it’s something I look forward to, and I make sure each pet gets quality time, attention, and care. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, whether they’re in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, while also keeping their environment clean and calm. I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. If pets are in my home, I provide a safe, cozy environment with plenty of attention, supervision, and structured routines. I introduce new spaces gradually and make sure they have a quiet area to relax. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any special needs, so each pet gets personalized care. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love—along with regular updates and photos so you always feel connected while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of pets for my parents, my friends, and family members. I started at just 12 years old with my parents dogs, when they weren’t around. I also took care of my friend’s dog when she would leave town. I always grew up with dogs and only knew about them. Until 3 years ago when I got two cats from a close friend. Now I have a great understanding of cats and I know their needs. I love cats and dogs very much and love taking care of them both. Your pet will be in good hands with me. I have plenty of time on my day to care for animals. I already have my 3 that I am used to caring for. I am confident I can take care of other animals with their own needs. In my home I will keep animals separated if need be. I can also keep them together if they get along well and can play. When going to someone else’s I will be respectful of their home and make sure no animal goes outside without leash. I will also keep the animal wherever they are comfortable in their own home.

Olivia is absolutely amazing. She agreed to watch my dog last minute while I was out of town for a week, which I really appreciated. We did a quick meet and greet, and Chilli was immediately comfortable with her! She also showed me where Chilli would be staying, and her place is super clean and well kept. You can tell she has a lot of experience (she’s fostered many dogs), and it shows in how she cares for them. While I was away, she sent plenty of pictures and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I genuinely didn’t have to worry at all. I have no notes! I’ll definitely be using her again. Thanks, Liv!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded not just by animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all personalities, temperaments, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine love. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work outside the home, but I work close by where coming home at lunchtime to check on or check on furry friend it’s not a problem. I have a fenced in yard and I am very careful to keep the doors closed. I am responsible and aware of things going on around me.

Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles between meetings, I’m always available to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Since I don’t currently have any pets, your dog or cat will have my full attention. I’ll stick closely to their usual routine and make sure they always feel happy, secure, and cared for. My home has a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe playtime for those that end up here.

FAQs for Boarding - College Station

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in College Station on Rover is $33.3 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 Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 162 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in College Station. About 89% of College Station sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 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.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
