“I always feel at ease whenever I leave my dog to Tracy and Todd! They are awesome people and they naturally care so much for our pups. My dog always come home happy every single time. Highly recommended!!”
“Paul was able to take in our dog in a last minute notice. He is a kind person and knows how to take care of a dog. Our dog was a little nervous when not home but he handled very well. If we would need a rover service in area again, we would come back to Paul.”
“Hermes had the best time!! I never had to worry about him. I got regular updates and super cute pictures. He made several new friends and loved being able to hang out with them! He loved all the extra attention he got. Mykayla, Stephen and their kids are super! Hermes was on my iPad last night trying to book our next trip so he can go for another visit! 😁”
“Jamie is truly one of my all‑time favorite pet sitters. She’s taken amazing care of my babies every time they’ve stayed with her. She even went above and beyond during a recent stay when one of my elder dogs was having more medical issues than usual. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and makes sure they feel happy, comfortable, and right at home. I’m so grateful for her and can’t recommend her enough.”
“Even though I was gone only three nights, Arienne sent pictures to let me know that Toby was doing well in my absence. And Toby looked and acted like he was well taken care of. I appreciate having someone like Arienne available if I have to leave Toby with someone else other than me.”
“London was great! Georgie came home happy and relaxed after a 9-day stay while I was traveling. I got daily updates and felt reassured the entire time that Georgie was in good hands.”
“Peyton was phenomenal! She was punctual with pick up and drop off!! We have a puppy and she was very attentive to his needs as well as his wants..She is highly recommended and we will use her services whenever she is needed!”

“Jessica always takes such good care of my dog. And now including our new one year old pup in the mix. I received updates with pictures and video during our weekend away plus a cute goody bag came home with both dogs. Will continue to use Jessica for our Rover needs”
“Shyla is amazing. She was attentive. I requested pictures and daily updates. She went above and beyond. She knew how much our fur baby means to us and treated her like her own. I am very pleased with her kindness and just overall the way she treated our baby. I would recommend her and will use her again.”
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.

“Renda is the best!!! She took care of She-Sharky and went above and beyond to try to coax my kitty to be more social. Its a chore let me tell you. She is my go-to sitter from now on. Thank you so much!”
About: Around two years ago, my friend and I were coaching a Little Diggers Volleyball team in our local town when we saw some kittens in a storm drain. We didn’t see their mother, and we sat there for about two hours waiting for her when she didn’t show, we decided to rescue the kittens, and I brought 2 into my own home. For about a year and a half, I raised the kittens and absolutely loved them. I decided they would get more freedom at my grandparents, farmhouse, catching mice and snakes, and they are healthy and happy there now! I always considered myself a dog person until my encounter with these two amazing kittens, patches and pumpkin
About: I have been around dogs and cats for my entire life. I have been known to spoil my pets and I hope to spoil yours too. I am the Student Pastor at First Baptist.

About: Hey there! Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. The unconditional love they give us is just a great feeling. So a little about me, I went to Tarleton State for Animal Science. I want the animals to be comfortable with me and in the environment. Animals deserve extra love and attention, specially when you’re busy all day or going out of town. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician with animals for 8+ years, as well as taking care of animals outside of work. I love all sorts of animals and think they deserve the same care as humans get! Dogs have feelings too! I believe animals need to go out a lot and get exercise as well as socializing. Dogs need just as much love as we need! I will always try to accommodate my schedule to make sure the fur babies have plenty of time to get some fresh air, potty break and some love during the day! When I care of clients fur babies, I always make sure to follow your guidelines with your babies. That being if they needed to be leash walked or they get to run free in the yard.
“A lot of pics with my pups contentedly eating and smiling while being petted. My dogs were happy pups while under Lindsey’s care. I will ask Lindsey to take care of my pups in the future!”
“We appreciate Tiana so much! She paid extra attention to our kitties while we went on vacation for 10 days. We know how much our kitties appreciated the time she spent with them. Tiana also gave extra attention to other things that we needed help with in the house while we were gone. We will be contacting her again for future house/kitty sitting!”
“Joie did great with our pups. She understood the instructions for care & the household without repeating. Very smooth & professional demeanor. Would definitely recommend & book again. Thanks!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Chriesman
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, my parents have always had a lot of dogs. I always cared for them, my parents taught me how and they didn’t help after that. I always watched my parents friends dogs when they went out of town as well. I’m home full time, I’m a stay at home mom. I’m very flexible and open availability. I’m trying to make a some more money for my household. I have a fenced in backyard for your pet to play in while being supervised as well. I also live in a duplex in town.
“Ryder had an absolute blast!! Paul took him to the dog park, and he got lots of walks on top of that! Ryder loves doggy daycare with Paul and Blaze. We will keep coming back for sure!”
“Tank had a great time with Megan. She's very communicative and flexible. We received several pictures throughout the day, and she made sure Tank was comfortable in a new environment. Thank you!”
About: I went to a great dog training academy and received a certification as a Canine Training Specialist. I also did a pet food nutrition course with a DNM University and earned a Pet Food Nutrition Specialist certification. I’ve volunteered at several dog rescue centers and I’ve interned at a vet clinic for a year. I grew up in the country and we always had at least one dog so I’ve had lots of experience around animals my whole life. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs, and will treat your dog like family. I’m very knowledgeable about dogs that need a specific diet or medication due to food or environmental allergies as my own dog has them. She is a medium size girl that loves every dog she meets so dogs I board/care for must be dog friendly. Lastly, I love taking great pet portraits with my phone and always send the portrait pictures that I take of the owners adorable pets to them throughout the stay. I accept balanced raw and home cooked diets if you prepare them in ready to serve meal size portions beforehand. This is my full time job so I’ll be able to be home all day and night for boarding/daycare services. Your dogs will not be left alone at my house. I take bookings 2 month or less in advance. I have a large fenced in yard and a very sweet dog that loves to play with other dogs. If they are happy to do it, I will try to work on some basic obedience while they are here like sit, down, and waiting at doors. I follow all of the owners instructions when it comes to whether they’re allowed on furniture, where they sleep, where/when they eat, etc.
“Mary Jane is a fantastic host for your pet! She really made us feel at home and was excellent communicating. Very flexible and very professional. We are really happy, relieved and grateful to find her and will definitely book again when next in College Station!”
About: Hello my name is Cayla. I’m from Houston, Tx and I've been an animal lover my whole life. I’ve raised other animals in FFA for my high school years while alson having other house hold pets within the years ( rabbit, turtle, dogs, and fish). I’m choosing to do Rover so I can build clientele and so I can expand my knowledge on dogs outside my pit bull and a few other breeds I’ve dealt with within my family and friends. Hopefully I’m someone you’ll love and trust around your home and your four-legged best friend. I do work from home and only work 4 days out the week so it's no hassle making sure everything and everyone is doing great. During the booking process I do ask for a routine so I can keep everything consistent. I do have doggie treats, extra blankets, training pads, and doggie toys I keep on stand by. In the morning I will open cages and let them move around freely aslong as im home and awake. If they need medication I have no problem giving it to them aswell, I do work from home so that will not be an issue.
“Just what i needed for my Maddox! Jessica did a great job taking care of him and updating me throughout the day. She also has some great other dogs that she takes care of that Maddox got to play with. Will definitely be booking with Jessica again!”
“My new rescue dog had a great day with Mikayla! He was nervous when I dropped him off first thing in the morning, but he relaxed right away. She sent a video of him having fun before I even got to work! Was a great experience for him and he’ll be going back a lot!”
About: I have 3+ years of house sitting for a friend's dog, feeding and water for his dog, and walking his dog twice a day. I have no special skills. I just have myself and a way of bonding with animals that I meet. I am currently unemployed, but currently looking for another full time job. In the mean time, I have the opportunity to walk for fitness for myself, and to take care of your pet walking them too for you. The neighborhood I live in is a safe neighborhood. I hardly read on KBTX about any crime in the area. Also, there is plenty of sidewalks throughout the neighborhood to walk on and no one bothers you while walking.
About: I go above and beyond to care about pets because they deserve unconditional love! I own two of the most amazing and beautiful boys and I could not imagine a life without them. I will always make sure that pets under my care are taken care of properly and trained as part of their stay with me. Pets are the worlds gift to us and as such they deserve to be treated with love and respect. Your pooch may not be able to speak out about their experience with sitters, but their actions can definitely show the difference. Leave your pet in good hands for a worry-free experience. I stay home which means your pets will not be unattended or kenneled throughout the day. I know it is important for pets to be comfortable, especially when staying with someone new to avoid anxious behaviors. Making sure that my boys get time to play and just relax around the house is very important to me and as such I will make sure that your pets get the same care. I have a fenced yard where your pet can play with my two boys if they so desire. They will be able to also play and relax in their own room while having the option to look out the window. Dogs can be kenneled if needed but won’t spend their day like that as I wouldn’t want my pets in a kennel for extended periods of time.
“James was very communicative, sending me daily updates unless I requested them earlier than he messaged. James has good energy and my dog seemed about as good as she could be when I left, and no worse for wear when I picked her up a few days later. My only nitpick is that the photos on James' profile are not current, so I was a little thrown off when the backyard was in a rough state compared to the photos I had seen. Will use James again should I ever need a sitter.”
“Peyton did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of Bohdi! From the moment we connected, Peyton was professional, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Bohdi can be a bit particular at times, but Peyton handled everything with patience and care, making sure he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication—it gave me complete peace of mind knowing Bohdi was in such good hands. It’s clear Peyton goes above and beyond, not just meeting expectations but truly caring for pets as if they were their own. When I returned, Bohdi was relaxed, well cared for, and clearly had a great experience. I would absolutely trust Peyton again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

Its always a fun time but the pictures always end up a little 🤪
“She did amazing with my sweet girl. I could tell my dog had a great day when I got her and I will definitely be rebooking. She even let me drop her off fairly early in the morning, which I appreciate so very much.”

About: I have had animals in my household since I was a baby, and I have always enjoyed taking care of them. Dogs and cats alike, I was raised to treat all animals with respect, kindness, and love. After all, they’re all Gods creatures! When I was looking for a part-time job this summer going into my freshman year of college, I couldn’t think of a better gig than hanging out with animals I love! ( also, if you see the pictures I have uploaded, I also have a passion for photography, so I do not mind giving your animal a cute little photo shoot of your choice!) 😄 I am going to college for volleyball, so I typically work out every single morning using the Training. My Coach has provided me other than my workouts and the vacations my family and I are taking this summer, I have no obligations that will prevent me from taking care of any animal! I will make the dates that I am not available extremely clear so there will be no confusion! Considering I also have babysitting experience, I can give medicine to dogs, clean your dogs with diapers if needed, take them outside, crate them, any service you need I can provide!
About: I have taken care of many cats included barn cats. I had a cat in college with my roommates that we picked up as a stray! Pet care is just part of my everyday life. I work Monday through Friday 8–5, but before work my dogs always get to run and play outside to start their day. After work, we go for a walk every evening and spend time playing, training, or just relaxing together. On weekends I have more flexibility, so we get extra time outdoors and lots of snuggles inside. I also keep up with the little things each week—like brushing, washing bowls, and freshening up bedding—so they stay happy and comfortable. Caring for my pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’d love to give your pets the same love and routine that I give mine. I have two female dogs who love to run, play fetch, and play in the water. They do sleep in kennels at night. They are energetic and would love to play with your pup!

“This is the second time I have used Brittany. The first meeting we had to see if she was a fit, she brought a checklist and asked great questions. I appreciated the attention to detail. This was the first time my nearly 13 year old Labrador had been apart from me for a full week. He did great, but it was only because of her commitment to take care of him.”

About: I have loads of love to share with dogs and don't know life without them, large, small, outgoing, shy, many types. I've raised puppies, and I recently lost my elderly pit granddog mix of 14 years, she lived with me for the last 8 years. I am recently retired from education. I have a flexible schedule and I live in an older home with a large yard fenced with chain link. I currently live in a rural community and I'm willing to drive to pick-up and deliver your fur babies for an extra fee. I am also willing to drive to your location for pet/house sitting. The first 50 miles for free, $.20/mile 50-80 miles, $.30/mile over 80 miles. I have a fenced yard. Your fur babies can stay in house or outdoors as they desire. If they are in the back yard, I will either be out there with them or will be checking them frequently. They will not stay outside for extended periods with or without me in extreme weather. I have an older home with several rooms which can be closed/opened to configure different arrangements if a dog needs to remain on hard surfaces, however I prefer to have them with me in the same room so I can enjoy their company and keep an eye on them. It is a new environment for them!

I’m currently a student at Texas A&M studying biomedical science so animals have always been an interest to me! I will be sure to treat each pet from a senior pet to a puppy with gentleness and all my love. If your pet needs a certain accommodation or is just a little unique I will do my best to make them feel safe❤️ I’m currently a student and I’m only taking two class here at A&M so my schedule is looking very flexible!! My class is at 8:30AM so I’m always up bright and early and can stay up pretty late as well! At home I have a senior dog who is 14 so I have a lot of experience when it comes to senior pets who might need some more love and gentleness! I also have a 1 year old golden doodle who is the most energetic ball of joy so I also enjoy playing with younger dogs as well!

“I always feel at ease whenever I leave my dog to Tracy and Todd! They are awesome people and they naturally care so much for our pups. My dog always come home happy every single time. Highly recommended!!”
“Paul was able to take in our dog in a last minute notice. He is a kind person and knows how to take care of a dog. Our dog was a little nervous when not home but he handled very well. If we would need a rover service in area again, we would come back to Paul.”
“Hermes had the best time!! I never had to worry about him. I got regular updates and super cute pictures. He made several new friends and loved being able to hang out with them! He loved all the extra attention he got. Mykayla, Stephen and their kids are super! Hermes was on my iPad last night trying to book our next trip so he can go for another visit! 😁”
“Jamie is truly one of my all‑time favorite pet sitters. She’s taken amazing care of my babies every time they’ve stayed with her. She even went above and beyond during a recent stay when one of my elder dogs was having more medical issues than usual. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and makes sure they feel happy, comfortable, and right at home. I’m so grateful for her and can’t recommend her enough.”
“Even though I was gone only three nights, Arienne sent pictures to let me know that Toby was doing well in my absence. And Toby looked and acted like he was well taken care of. I appreciate having someone like Arienne available if I have to leave Toby with someone else other than me.”
“London was great! Georgie came home happy and relaxed after a 9-day stay while I was traveling. I got daily updates and felt reassured the entire time that Georgie was in good hands.”
“Leslie takes great care of my dogs when I'm out of town. She is very flexible with time scheduling and her pickup drop off service is very convenient. My pups enjoy their stay with her.”
“Jessica always takes such good care of my dog. And now including our new one year old pup in the mix. I received updates with pictures and video during our weekend away plus a cute goody bag came home with both dogs. Will continue to use Jessica for our Rover needs”
“Shyla is amazing. She was attentive. I requested pictures and daily updates. She went above and beyond. She knew how much our fur baby means to us and treated her like her own. I am very pleased with her kindness and just overall the way she treated our baby. I would recommend her and will use her again.”
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 taken care of many cats included barn cats. I had a cat in college with my roommates that we picked up as a stray! Pet care is just part of my everyday life. I work Monday through Friday 8–5, but before work my dogs always get to run and play outside to start their day. After work, we go for a walk every evening and spend time playing, training, or just relaxing together. On weekends I have more flexibility, so we get extra time outdoors and lots of snuggles inside. I also keep up with the little things each week—like brushing, washing bowls, and freshening up bedding—so they stay happy and comfortable. Caring for my pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’d love to give your pets the same love and routine that I give mine. I have two female dogs who love to run, play fetch, and play in the water. They do sleep in kennels at night. They are energetic and would love to play with your pup!
“Giselle S. was so sweet to our Lucy! Lots of photos, TLC, and time with people while we we away. Giselle even came over to meet us before leaving our pet with her. So awesome! Thank you!”
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: Grew up on a farm with dogs and cats. My mom is a breeder for Bernese Mountain Dogs so I’m not afraid of big doggies! Experience with new litters and all sorts of breeds. I’m a graduate student so my schedule is flexible making it easy to watch pets during work hours. I also work from home as needed. I know schedules and routines are very beneficial for anxious pets. While you are away I can walk, feed, bathe if need be and make sure they are taken out regularly.
