“Kaeden was wonderful with our pitties! He was attentive, caring, and very comfortable with them. We really appreciated the peace of mind knowing our pups were happy and in good hands. We’d happily have him watch them again!”
“Susan was always responsive when she took care of my cat. She always provide prompt updates and really took good care of my cat and also my home. Highly recommended.”
“Christina makes me feel so comfortable leaving my babies! I always am so so paranoid that they’ll run out the door, but she does a headcount before she leaves to make sure they’re both inside, and checks the hallway after she’s closed the door to make sure they didn’t slip out! She takes great care of them :)”
“Juliann really helped me out. I contacted her the one day before I needed a sitter to give my diabetic cat his evening meal and insulin shot. She was very accommodating and helpful. I felt relieved to know my cat was in the hands of someone experienced in injection medications. She even checked the medication before administering it to him.”
“Emily was able to help us out on very short notice and did a great job! Our mini Aussie can be a little tough but she was able to make her comfortable. Thank you so much!!”
“London was absolutely amazing! She made sure our dogs were happy and safe while we were gone and provided several updates. She even helped clam the pool and brought in our mail! We will def. be using her again in the future! 💛”
“My cat Monty is a jumpy sort but he warmed up to Mikayla right away. We were gone for a longer period than usual and Monty did well with Mikayla. He played and ate which he often boycotts in my absence as he is very attached to me and our daily routine. I am grateful Mikayla is such a cat whisperer and recommend her for anyone with a sensitive cat. Thank you Mikayla.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working with animals. I completed a Veterinary Assistant training program and gained 500 hours of clinical and ranch animal experience. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and routines and understand the importance of patience, safety, and consistency. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by treating every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I currently work part-time and am taking online summer classes, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. Because my coursework is online, I can spend quality time with your pet while keeping up with my studies. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their individual needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, exercise preferences, and any special instructions you provide. I communicate regularly with owners by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I believe building trust with both pets and their owners is the foundation of excellent pet care.
About: I’ve been around dogs ever since I was 5 years old. When my family got our first puppy, I helped train her general skills like sit, stay, heel, etc. Growing up it was also a responsibility of mine to walk, feed, bathe, and play with her. Summer 2022 I was a vet tech at a humane society in my hometown, and delivered medical care to the dogs and cats there. May 2024 I helped my friend deliver 10 beautiful German Shepherd puppies! I love dogs of all kinds and can promise the best care for yours! I am a bartender at Rebel Draft House, which makes my schedule very flexible. I have time to go feed and hang out with a pet in the morning, check in and play midday, and again feed and hang out with them in the evening. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure that when taking them outside, they are in a fenced in area. If there is no fenced in area, I will have the pet on a leash. Every time I go check on the pet, the pet has fresh water and is fed when instructed. I also make sure to spend time with the pet so it doesn’t feel lonely, whether that is playing with a toy, going on a walk, or just giving the pet some ear scratches! I know that pets can miss their owners so I want to make them as comfortable and happy as possible.
“2nd booking with Ashley! She is very professional. All tasks were completed. We enjoyed looking at the funny report cards everyday. I feel great planning future trips knowing she'll be taking care of my babies. Thank you Ashley!”
“Absolutely loved Noelle, she showed up on time, was very informative, asked a lot of questions, and was such a big help! Thank you so much for being so sweet and sound in my home and towards Nova! I’ll definitely see you in the next sitting!”
“We're sticking with Silas because, over multiple bookings, he has consistently performed above and beyond. Will be booking another as soon as I finish this review. Very much appreciated!!!”
About: I have 6 dogs, 2 cats, and a snake in my family home. I have been around animals my entire life and have pet sat for my family for as long as I can remember. I currently job shadow at a veterinary clinic in my area and have experience taking care of pets of all ages and conditions there. I would absolutely love to help you and your pet with anything and everything you need! I work part time so I can spend all of my afternoons and weekends with your pets! Apart from work I am in school so my schedule can slightly vary based on class times and exams. I am experienced with special diets, mobile needs, and space accommodations. I will do whatever I am instructed with enthusiasm and excitement because I love animals and helping people as best I can!
“Reagan did a meet and greet and two drop in visits to feed my two cats. She was very communicative through the entire process. I will definitely reach out to her again next time I need a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve always loved animals. I’ve had pets since I was ten. I started my pet journey with two parakeets and a beautiful Burmese cat named Isabel. Eventually, we got a dog named Lucy. After graduating from university I adopted my two cats, Dionysus and Bacchus. I pet sit for my friends often and treat their pets with the same love and attention I would my own. ⚠️ Please Read! Rover doesn’t allow me to specify availability by day/hour so I had to add a general schedule to my calendar and add the details here. I am available all day on the weekends, from 12 PM - 1 PM Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, and after 6 PM Tuesday through Friday. Broader availability during holidays as I am off work, then. In a pinch I can usually also squeeze in visits or walks before 7:30 AM on all days of the week if needed! I follow care instructions strictly and, given the opportunity, observe your pet’s habits to recognize abnormal behaviors that may need urgent attention. I do my best to listen to and interpret your pet’s needs whenever and however they choose to communicate with me.
About: I have worked at a boarding clinic since August of 2025. My family and I have lots of dogs that are varying breeds. I have lots of experience with different breeds, sizes, and ages! I am a Sophomore business major at A&M so I do have classes. I also work part time at a boarding clinic and usually get 10-15 hours a week. Whenever I am not busy I would love to take care of your pets! I like to take my time especially when it comes to a more nervous dog. I deal with plenty of anxious dogs my job, so I like to make sure they’re as comfortable as they can be before advancing into anything.
About: Hi! I’m Veronika and I'm working on my PhD at Texas A&M in genetics! I have taken care of cats, dogs, and other small pets since I was a child. I am a very reliable and organized person when it comes to pet care!💝 I have time usually before 10:30am and after 4pm. During the day I am always able to find time for drop-in visits / dog walks. I have an apartment in College Station. I am fully opened to visit client's homes and care for your pets there or if you are going somewhere for longer your pet can stay with me! If you need someone last minute feel free to contact me and we can try to work something out.

This was our second time with Ashley. She is great with cats! Our little kitty is always super nervous with strangers, but she warmed up to Ashley quickly when she first met her. This time, she remembered her from last time, which was quite a while ago, and she was comfortable with her right away. Ashley is very consistent and communicative and does a great job! Highly recommended!
Whitney was absolutely wonderful with my girls and little man! One of my cats struggles to take pills, and she was able to hide it well in the food like I asked, for her to take it!! I always got a lot of photos and updates as well. She made sure to always keep me updated, I would definitely book with her again to take care of my pets :)
Lailah did such a wonderful job taking care of my two senior dogs. They had several potty issues and she still cared for them and cleaned up messes, being mindful of my home as well as my pups. She communicated with me the whole time to keep me updated, and used sound judgment to make decisions when I wasn’t able to be responsive to messages right away. For a difficult pet sitting experience, she went above and beyond to ensure me and my pups were still taken care of!! Hands down probably one of the best Rover sitters I’ve used!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in College Station is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 530 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across College Station. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in College Station. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 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.
