About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have frequently cared for those of my friends and family members, including young pets. Coming from healthcare also gives me unique experience in caring for others and knowing how to manage health complications. My fiance and I have cared for his own cat who requires insulin for diabetes. I am a work from home professional with a log of flexibility within my schedule to support you. My fiance also has a hybrid role. I have experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I am able to walk pets of all sizes and care for them inside the home, whether it is crated or outside a crate. I have also raised pets with access to a backyard and deep pool so am comfortable maintaining pet safety both indoors and outdoors. Being a dietitian, I am knowledgeable with nutrition and food when it comes to pets and humans if needed!
“Georgiann has been God sent since I had a last minute cancellation. She is very professional and thorough. She is the first walker to ever call and make sure she understood my instructions prior to walking my pup. She is very communicative and I am grateful for her service while I’m at work.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with my family’s German Shepherds, who I’ve helped raise from puppies. I was heavily involved in their early training and have continued to help care for them as they’ve grown into senior dogs. We typically take 2–3 mile walks every day, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I’ve also regularly house-sat and cared for my uncle’s dog, Bo, for over 10 years. We have a special bond, and he’s especially responsive to me and my uncle. More recently, I’ve been helping with my uncle’s Australian Shepherd puppy, including feeding, playtime, fetch, tug-of-war, and early leash training. I’m new to Rover, but caring for dogs has been a part of my life for years. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need lots of play and patience to older dogs who appreciate a slower pace, routine, and plenty of companionship. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I’m currently working remotely and freelance, so I have a flexible schedule. I reserve my mornings for meetings, but I’m typically available after 11am. Feel free to reach out whenever during the day! Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and secure. I like to “read the room” and pay attention to each pet’s personality, body language, and comfort level rather than assuming every pet needs the same kind of care. I also believe in maintaining a pet’s normal routine as much as possible. If they have a particular feeding schedule, sleeping arrangement, favorite spot, or other comforts, I’ll do my best to keep those routines consistent while they’re in my care. I have experience with crate training as well. When my family’s German Shepherds were puppies, they each had their own crate, bed, and blankets. We treated their crates as safe, comfortable spaces—not as punishment. I’m also currently around an Australian Shepherd puppy who is learning to crate train, so I understand that patience and positive reinforcement are important. Above all, I want pets to feel at home and know that they’re in a safe, caring environment. I’m attentive to their needs, respectful of their boundaries, and always prioritize their well-being.

About: Growing up on a farm, I was around all kinds of animals and helped care for them. I’ve raised cats on my own for 15 years and often help my friends with their cats and dogs when they are away from home. I work full-time but have the flexibility to work remotely and make my own schedule outside of a couple of days when I’m in the office. Most of the time, I’ll be unavailable on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Understanding that every pet is different, I like to learn more about the pet from the owner and have one-on-one time with the animal to make sure we’re both comfortable with each other. Our trust and safety is my number one priority.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. I started helping care for my grandmother’s dog when I was around 10 years old, so being around animals has always been a natural part of my life. About three years ago, I helped a friend care for their 3-year-old Shiba Inu for a full month. Shibas are independent and strong-willed, so I learned quickly how important patience, consistency, and clear boundaries are. It was a great experience and deepened my confidence with medium-sized, high-energy dogs. Currently, I’m a proud pet parent to two cats and two guinea pigs. Managing a multi-pet household has made me very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, behavior changes, and emotional needs. I’m used to cleaning litter boxes and enclosures, monitoring appetite and mood, and making sure each pet gets individual attention. I understand that every pet has a different personality. Some want constant affection, some need space, and some just want you nearby. I’m calm, observant, and respectful of each animal’s comfort level. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or a little dramatic (no judgment lol), I’ll meet them where they are. Your pet’s safety and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they’re my own. I‘m currently working part-time remotely and available on mostly of the days including work days. I might be out during the last week of July. I currently offer drop-in visits and pet care in my clients' homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. During each visit, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or enclosures as needed, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I understand that some pets love playtime and interaction, while others prefer a calm and gentle presence. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy level, behavior, and overall well-being, and I will promptly communicate any concerns. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind while they're away. As a pet parent to two cats and two guinea pigs, I'm very familiar with maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning habitats, and making sure each animal receives individualized care. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away.
“Brendan came through for me when I was out of time and had a friend cancel on me. I love the walking route and pictures he took. I can tell from the pictures Roscoe had a lovely time and I wish I could tip him more than 100%”
“Our dog absolutely loves Zoe. I am pretty sure he is secretly hoping we leave town again soon. She was so easy to communicate with and we loved seeing the photos from their walks. Zoe is the best!”
“Ashanti was so sweet and kind! She was very flexible and accommodating with my last minute request! I’d recommend her to anyone needing a reliable dog walker! 💕”
“Amy, Did such a great job of walking my 45lb pitbull mix. They had fun walking, playing fetch and she even got a pupsicle after checking if my dog had an dietary restrictions. I highly reccomend Amy.”
About: I have always been an animal lover. My first pet was a parakeet, named Peanut, which I got when I was 3. From there, I took a relatively giant leap to my first pony, named Cinnamon. I have over 15 years of experience caring for horses and cattle as well as cats and dogs. Due to my brother’s allergies while growing up, the only way I could get time with animals was by taking care of them for others at their homes. We eventually got a family dog, an overly smart Beagle, named JayCee. I trained JayCee as well as my 2 horses, Cinnamon and Cooper. I have continued to pet sit throughout the years for professors in the College Station area, neighbors back home, and friends I have made from various classes during my college career. Lastly, I majored in Biomedical Sciences and took many animal science courses, which in combination with my hands-on experience, puts me in an impeccable position to care for your fur babies when you are unable. I am currently a fourth-year medical student and love to destress with walks and drop-ins as my schedule permits! I am in my last year of medical school, so I am available mostly in the early mornings, later afternoons/evenings and on weekends. Let me know how I can help! I rescued my cat, Beta, formerly known as Beta Fish, from Bryan Animal Shelter 7 years ago. I got my dog, Roscoe, from Humane Society of Northwest Louisiana about 3 years ago. I am more than willing to travel to take care of animals multiple times a day at their homes. In the past, I have taken care of puppies that required overnight care and am willing to stay the night to do so. Same has gone for anxious dogs that are used to having someone at home. For shorter time periods, I would love to get your fur babies out for a quick stroll around the block or around the nearest park.

I'm available most of the weeknights and very flexible during the weekend.

Sasha has been absolutely wonderful with my pup and an absolute lifesaver, watching him often with very little notice due to my unpredictable work travel! He’s always well cared for, his routine is always adhered to & communication is wonderful, including videos. I will definitely continue to request her!
Georgiann has been God sent since I had a last minute cancellation. She is very professional and thorough. She is the first walker to ever call and make sure she understood my instructions prior to walking my pup. She is very communicative and I am grateful for her service while I’m at work.
Gabrielle has been so great with my pup! She’s really attentive and always makes sure to take care of all the little details I mention. My dog gets so excited to see her, and I love knowing she’s with someone she’s comfortable with and genuinely enjoys being around. Gabrielle is reliable, caring, and someone I feel completely comfortable trusting with my dog. I’m really happy I found her, will definitely be booking with her again, and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch/walk your dog! 🐶💕

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 walker.
