“2nd booking in two weeks. She cares about my dog Brian & always sends pics n feedback. She fed him per my instructions & kept my home secure. I definitely will book with her again”
“She is amazing! She did everything and even more of what I asked her, my pets love her they are always exited when they see her and she is an amazing person! Thank you!!”
“Emilie was amazing. Very punctual. I loved all the update pictures she would send me. My fur babies looked very happy with her service as all. Will definitely book with her and would recommend. ❤️”
“Susan did a great job taking care of my dog while I was away. She was very responsible, arrived on time, and communicated really well throughout the stay. She also sent pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Susan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“I had an amazing experience with Rosa and couldn’t be happier with the care my pet received. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. They took the time to understand my pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs, which made me feel completely at ease. During the stay, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed just how happy and comfortable my pet was. It was obvious they were being treated with genuine care, attention, and affection. When I returned, my pet was relaxed, well-cared for, and clearly had a great time. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and kindness shown, and I would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Gracie is wonderful with my elderly “babies”! My dogs are my world, so I’m very protective of them, and I’m very selective about who I choose to sit for them. Gracie is very responsible and super sweet with them. One of my dogs has separation anxiety, and she was comfortable enough to fall asleep while Gracie was with her. I highly recommend Gracie as a pet sitter!”
“Mia is super friendly and sweet! She is very professional and considerate. My cat is indoor-outdoor and is not always near my house so I had to ask Mia to meow to summon him! She did a great job! 10/10, would definitely recommend!”
About: I have owned all kinds of animals all my life. I have had a wide variety, but at the moment care a cat, a parrot, a bunny, sugar gliders, rats, fish, and of course my dog. I was a dog walker for a bit and have pet sit for friends. I have taken care of senior dogs with stricter demands and also little puppies with lots of energy. I love animals and will treat your fur child as if they are my own. I just graduated from college and am taking a year off so will have more time to petsit. I will be able to drop by whenever needed and work around your routine. I can follow whatever needs you place for your animal in your home. My animals have a variety of demands so I understand that every animal has different needs.
About: I have 7 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. In addition to personal pet care, I work in a veterinary ER setting, which has strengthened my ability to recognize subtle changes in behavior and prioritize safety. I’m experienced with puppies, high energy breeds, and senior dogs needing extra patience. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping owners updated. Your pet’s wellbeing comes first, always. I work full-time at a veterinary emergency hospital and have a rotating schedule of four 12-hour shifts per week. On my workdays, I’m not available so I can stay fully focused on patient care. However, on my days off, I’m completely available and able to dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m especially a great fit for weekend care, boarding, and extended stays when I’m off work. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a large outdoor area and access to multiple walking trails for regular exercise. I have one friendly, well-socialized dog who does well with others. I carefully supervise all interactions and can separate dogs if needed. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly and keep owners updated so they feel confident and informed.
“We usually travel with our old guy but this trip didn’t allow for that. Finding Danielle on Rover was an answer to prayer. Danielle was great! Jake loved her from the moment she walked in the door. She’s super sweet and kind and her love for animals is evident. She sent videos and pictures with her updates and ensured Jake got his meds and ate his food. He tends to not eat when we are not around. We were so blessed to find her and will book with her once again. Thank you Danielle for caring for our guy so well.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine passion for animals. I completed over 230 hours working in a small animal clinic, where I gained experience caring for pets and learned to recognize signs of illness, handle animals safely, and prioritize their well-being. I’ve personally cared for a wide variety of pets, including bunnies, parrots, cats, and dogs of all sizes, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and care needs. I’m also pursuing a career as a veterinarian, so every pet I care for receives the same patience, attention, and compassion I would give my own. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. I currently care for my Alaskan Malamute, Green-cheek Conure, and African Grey parrot, so providing daily exercise, enrichment, feeding, and lots of attention is second nature to me. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable care while keeping pet owners updated with photos and messages. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, enrichment, and lots of love and attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being and am happy to administer medications or follow any special care instructions if needed. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Sara was a fantastic sitter! She took excellent care of my cat and rabbit while I was out of town. She was also an impeccable communicator and sent me regular updates and photos of my animals.”
About: !!$20 dollars off with my code!! 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 make sure your pet gets constant care. Since I travel entirely by bike, I never get stuck in campus traffic or delayed looking for parking. 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. Here is how I split my schedule to give your pet the best experience: - For Boarding: Because I live right down the street from the lab, I easily pop back home during the day to check in, refresh water, and give quick potty breaks. Since my university schoolwork is entirely online, the moment I am home, I am sitting at my computer right next to your pup. They get full run of the space, couch cuddles, and constant companionship while I study. - For House Sitting: I adapt my schedule to keep your pet in their comfort zone. I handle my lab shifts during the day, using my bike to get back to your house quickly and punctually. I then set up my remote workspace right in your home for the evening, ensuring your pet has a warm, attentive presence for dinner, long walks, and bedtime. - On Weekends: I am completely free! Weekends are entirely dedicated to your fur baby, filled with long park adventures, tons of playtime, and hands-on attention. 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.
“Thank you Samantha for helping us to get our pups out for a potty break while we were away! Samantha took the time to meet our pups and was available to stop by and let them out for us. She took great care of them and sent us pictures, she’s easy to reach and very helpful when we needed a schedule change! I know we will need help again in the future and I will most certainly be reaching out to her! She is fantastic!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Station
Christina was amazing with our two cats while we were away! She followed all of our instructions and kept us updated with very helpful reports. She was even flexible enough to accommodate a last minute change to our schedule when there was a sudden emergency. We came home to two very happy cats and it’s all thanks to Christina!
Mia was an amazing sitter for my cat! I needed a last-minute sitter for the Fourth of July, and she was quick and accommodating of my short notice. She was super responsive and attentive, sending thorough updates after each visit. I really appreciated her sending pictures of his food, water, and clean litter box every day. I'd highly recommend Mia if you need a sitter!
We signed her on recently since our long-term cat sitter moved out of town. A very responsible and responsive A&M student, who was proactive and detail-oriented in all things. She was very good with our senior cat, and also took care of other things such as watering plants and other backyard tasks. Strongly recommended from our side, and we will be employing her for the future.
This is my second time having Jacquie watch my cat, and she has been wonderful both times! She was available on short notice, which was incredibly helpful, and she took great care of him while I was away. Jacquie is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
We are so grateful for the care and attention Cole & Casey gave our pets while we were away. Communication was excellent, and our pets were happy and well cared for when we returned home. We would definitely recommend Cole & Casey and would be using them again.
Abbigayl took great care of my diabetic cat. He got along great with her, even loving on her by the end of my trip. He was a great spirits when I got home. Her rover cards were great and sometimes a little funny. I look forward to reading & seeing pictures of how my boy was doing each meal.
Faith was so kind and caring with my dog! She sent the sweetest report cards to look at while I was away at work, and went above and beyond my expectations! I know my dog enjoyed her company! I never worried about a thing, she communicated so well. Appreciate her so much! 💗

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a College Station stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 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.
