“Nimbus sure had a great time!She dog is still a puppy and is very active, Paul made sure that she has enough exercise and mental simulation, he brought her to the dog park or the pond, spend a good amount of time to play which Nimbus loves! We receive updates from time to time, with photos too! She loves her new buddy too! Highly recommended!”

“Deanna was great! Easy to work with and my dog and cat were well taken care of! Also very flexible with timing and willing to work with me even though it was short notice. Great experience overall!”

“Ashley were soooo amazing helping us last minute as we had a trip planned and our sitter bailed on us. She sent updates and responded quickly when I messaged her. She also was helpful by EXTENDING our stay as we were out of the country and got stuck in a layover. 100/10 would recommend 😍”

About: Hi my name is Brylee! I am an animal science major with a focus in production. I have owned and cared for animals my entire life ranging from dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, goats, lambs, cattle, and horses. I am reliable, hard working, and calm in stressful situations. I am currently a full time student at TAMU, I take all morning classes so I am available after 1pm everyday! I am a morning person so I can be available to care for your pets before i head to class! I live in a neighborhood with 2 amazing dog parks as well as a pond! I can easily adapt to fit into your pets routine to make it easier for you and them!
About: I grew up with animals my entire life, and have always watched neighbors and family's pets throughout the years. From puppies and kittens, to senior dogs and cats, the joy and love they bring is priceless. I enjoy walking dogs and working on basic commands, playing their favorite games, and of course some back scratches and belly rubs if needed! Can bathe, give medicines as necessary. I have a flexible schedule as a realtor with my associates help, and can make appointments around pet's schedules. I'm flexible weekdays and weekends for the most part. I have a large fenced backyard and a big dog who loves to play with dogs of all sizes. My year old cat loves to play with my dog and could be separated if need be. Can kennel visiting dog if preferred.
About: My whole life, my family has had cats, dogs, hampsters, bunnies- you name it! While away at college during the school year,I don’t get to see my furry friends as much anymore, so I love every opportunity I get to spend with animals! It would be my pleasure to give your pets the love and care that they deserve! I’m currently only enrolled in a few in person classes at TAMU, so my days are pretty much free meaning I have plenty of time for your pets! If you wish to have your pet stay in my home, I have a fully fenced yard and more than enough room for them in my home.
About: Hi! My name is Kenzie Baulier and I’m an Animal Science major at Texas A&M, working toward a certificate in Equine Science. I plan to go to veterinary school in the future because caring for animals has always been my passion. I have 4–5 years of experience dog sitting and walking, and I’ve also fostered dogs of different breeds and personalities. In my free time, I volunteer at the Aggieland Humane Society, where I get hands-on experience helping animals in need. Along with small animals, I also work with horses as part of my job at A&M, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’d love the chance to help care for your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾 I work part-time but have a very flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. Fitting in pet care is never an issue, so your pets can get the attention and care they need whenever you need it! I have a fenced-in yard, plus access to a neighborhood dog park and a locked-in grassy field, so your pets can safely run, play, and explore. My roommate has a friendly dog, but I keep him separate when caring for other dogs, ensuring a safe and stress-free environment for your pet.
About: So, I usually volunteer at animal shelters so my experience taking care of dogs comes mostly from that, and I want to be a veterinarian so I’ve also had some experience with shadowing, and can usually see when things are wrong. I will say I’ve never done dog sitting but I’ve had a dog before and currently a cat, so I do know how to take care of animals. Hello, I’m currently home for summer, and I have pretty much every day free besides volunteering at a shelter in the morning from 9-11. Most of the time I have the dog, I’ll most likely spend walking them. I do love doing dog walks, but I’ll also always make sure they’re well fed, and well cared for, and always have water.

About: i’ve grown up with animals all around me, and i love caring for them as well as showing much attention to them. it is a true passion of mine outside of volunteering at the shelter and i’d love to take care of your pet! as a student away from home, i have multiple gaps in my day where i miss my own little puppy. i love caring for animals, no matter the size or breed and i am a true animal lover. i volunteer at the shelter so i figured why not do pet sitting as well? i live at a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of sidewalk for your dog (or cat!) to take a nice walk and beautiful grass to roll in. i have my own bedroom and en-suite bathroom, so all of your pet’s supplies will stay secured and i have ample space for your pet to move around! i love to pay pets lots of attention and cater to their needs, whether i have to entertain them by spinning on my head or we sleep in all day. animals are a true passion of mine!

“Very professional and willing to work with late nights and early mornings! My dog has heavy anxiety and has a hard time trusting strangers, but warmed up very quickly to Ashley, which was a huge stress off of my shoulders! Frequent updates with photos, and great at communicating. Absolutely will book her again if I need a sitter in the future!!!”

“Kelly was a fantastic sitter for our dog. She kept us up to date in everything he was doing, gave him his vitamins, let us know how he was feeling and took him on so many trail walks. Our dog came back happy and certainly loves Kelly. She is 10/10 and we will definitely be rebooking her for all of our future dog sitting.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Independence home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Independence.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Independence sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
