“Attentive boarding provided by Megan! Nine year old daschund/chihuahua rescue was treated like family. Excellent daily communication with pictures provided reassuring updates for this first-time Rover user. Highly recommend Megan for your special pet.”
“my 2 pups seemed to have a great time here! my husky mix normally doesn't do well with boarding, but they were very accommodating and let her stay in the kennel together with her brother. anytime I texted with questions or for updates on my pups, they were always very quick to respond. anytime I need boarding services in the future, Roy and Bethany will always be at the top of the list for my pups.”
“Zoey is super high energy and Mikayla & Stephen go above and beyond expectations to love her and keep her active and having fun! Zoey loves getting to play with their children and gets treated like one herself there! Thank you so much for helping me out with my wild girl! -Jack”
“We weren’t sure how to feel leaving our kitten with a stranger, but Arienne assured us he was in good hands. She took such good care of him and sent us updates each day. He seemed to have a lot of fun with her and her girls. We will definitely consider her again when we need to board Plinko!”
“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.”
“We couldn't have been happier with our experience with Lezlie! She is very organized, reliable, friendly, and she has a ton of experience with dogs. Our dog Junie had a safe and fun environment in Lezlie's home and really enjoyed her stay. We'll definitely be leaving Junie with Lezlie again. Highly recommended!”

About: I was 12 when I got my first dog, a cocker spaniel named Megara. My parents quickly put me in charge of her, and caring for her taught me to put another's needs before my own. She gave me lifelong lessons about the love and loyalty between a pet and their owner. Today I have an Old English Sheepdog named Delphi. Other owners at the dog park often comment on how sweet she is, and she has grown into a great older sister to our family dog, Luna (who lives with my family). Between the two of them, I am comfortable with large breeds and with the extra patience senior dogs need. I have also dog sat regularly for friends, so I am used to stepping into someone else's routine and keeping their dog on it. I am very outdoorsy on top of that, so your dog will get real walks, not a quick trip around the block. As a PhD student, I work from home most of the day. My time on campus is limited to a few classes, my TA hours, and a student association meeting every other week, so I am home and available far more than someone on a standard nine to five. That flexibility is a big part of why I got Delphi at the start of my PhD. She has always had someone around to take her out during the day, and I can offer your dog the same. Before any payments or booking, I would like to set up a meet and greet so I can see how your dog responds to me. It tells me a lot, whether they warm up right away or need space, and it means the first day is not the first time we have met. This doesn't have to be long but it is a nice first impression to the dog. In my home, your dog will not be alone. Delphi is here as company, and I introduce new dogs to her slowly and on neutral ground so the first meeting goes well for both of them (like a local dog park). I live in a quiet, secure apartment community with an on-site dog park and an open field next door, plus several trails within walking distance, so your dog gets real exercise rather than being cooped up all day. Delphi is not crate trained and has free run of the apartment, but I am happy to crate your dog if that is part of their routine. Just bring the crate and let me know the schedule you use. In your home, I stick to your dog's routine rather than imposing my own. I follow your feeding times, walk schedule, and house rules, keep dogs leashed anywhere that is not fenced, and send photo updates so you know how the day went. If anything seems off with your dog, I contact you right away, and I am prepared to drive them to a vet if it cannot wait.

“MaryJane was fantastic taking care of our two small dogs for an extended boarding (3 weeks total).

We will reach out again if we need dog sitting in the future :) Thank you very much!!”
“Ashley is always our top choice for pet care. Our boys absolutely adore her—just hearing the familiar bumpy road lets them know exactly where they’re going. They’re always excited to see Ashley and her children, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy they are in her care. I especially appreciate the opportunity they have to interact with other dogs in a safe, loving environment. I never have to worry when they’re with her. Highly recommend!”

“My family and I were out of town for my daughter’s competition and we had to bring our 7 month old puppy, Boomer, a mini Golden Doodle. He doesn’t travel much so he was Not okay with being in the hotel alone for any length of time. We didn’t know what to do and decided to download the Rover app and reached out to Betty who responded so quickly and agreed to watch my baby last minute. She rearranged her schedule to help us out. Boomer is usually nervous and scared of strangers but he warmed up to Betty pretty quickly which gave me so much peace of mind. She also keep me in the loop of all they did and how my boy was doing which was so reassuring. I’d book with Betty over and over again if I could. She is indeed the ideal caretaker for your fur babies.”

“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.”

I also keep their space clean by picking up after them, cleaning litter boxes or accidents right away, and making sure their environment stays safe and calm.

“Absolutely the best. Our 3 pups got the luxury of having Heather as there walker for nearly three weeks during the round top antique show and as a vendor we couldn’t have had a better place of mind then having who we had each day for the kiddos.”
“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: The obvious reason, I LOVE DOGS and being around ALL animals . every dog has a unique personality which makes all of them special and all dogs have something different to offer pet lovers. I also love to be outdoors playing and walking them. I walk a lot any way, might as well have a furry companion. I can pretty much set my own schedule (within reason). I also don't have any obligations, other than my husband. I feel like this would feel a void in my life and help give to purpose. I like to use hand commands but verbal is fine also I have been a pet owner for quite sometimes, no current pets, some very high energy, some old and arthritic and on medication I perfer smaller dogs if they come to my house. The house is mostly empty, it’s just me and my husband. I have also sat for cats, turtles, lizards, goats horses and all types of pasture animals. Big or small, I do it all. I’m retired airline employee, so, I’m pretty flexible with my time and schedule. We currently don’t have any pets because we enjoy our travel time. If we’re not traveling you can always catch me on someone’s ranch helping out with their critters. I really prefer watching the animals at the clients home because that’s where they feel most comfortable. I don’t mind bringing the pets to my home, if they are on the smaller side. Of course, if it’s something on the bigger side, ie, like livestock, I would be at the client’s home.

I’m very excited to continue my experience with pet care with your fur babies! I’m currently a biology student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the week. A typical day begins with a morning potty break or walk, breakfast, fresh water, and playtime. In the afternoon, your pet will enjoy another walk, enrichment activities, cuddles, and plenty of attention. In the evening, we’ll have dinner, another potty break or walk, relaxing playtime, and lots of affection before bedtime. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, house sitting, and overnight care. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected while you’re away.

My home provides a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member can feel safe and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Fantastic couple and animal family to leave your dog with. Roxy enjoyed herself. The daily pictures of Roxy and contact by Tracy put my mind at ease. Highly recommended and will be a repeat customer.”
“Attentive boarding provided by Megan! Nine year old daschund/chihuahua rescue was treated like family. Excellent daily communication with pictures provided reassuring updates for this first-time Rover user. Highly recommend Megan for your special pet.”
“my 2 pups seemed to have a great time here! my husky mix normally doesn't do well with boarding, but they were very accommodating and let her stay in the kennel together with her brother. anytime I texted with questions or for updates on my pups, they were always very quick to respond. anytime I need boarding services in the future, Roy and Bethany will always be at the top of the list for my pups.”
“Zoey is super high energy and Mikayla & Stephen go above and beyond expectations to love her and keep her active and having fun! Zoey loves getting to play with their children and gets treated like one herself there! Thank you so much for helping me out with my wild girl! -Jack”
“We weren’t sure how to feel leaving our kitten with a stranger, but Arienne assured us he was in good hands. She took such good care of him and sent us updates each day. He seemed to have a lot of fun with her and her girls. We will definitely consider her again when we need to board Plinko!”
“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.”
“We couldn't have been happier with our experience with Lezlie! She is very organized, reliable, friendly, and she has a ton of experience with dogs. Our dog Junie had a safe and fun environment in Lezlie's home and really enjoyed her stay. We'll definitely be leaving Junie with Lezlie again. Highly recommended!”
“Gisela and her family were great with Winston. He felt at home and was comfortable during his stay. We hope to book with Gisela again next time we are in College Station!”
About: I was 12 when I got my first dog, a cocker spaniel named Megara. My parents quickly put me in charge of her, and caring for her taught me to put another's needs before my own. She gave me lifelong lessons about the love and loyalty between a pet and their owner. Today I have an Old English Sheepdog named Delphi. Other owners at the dog park often comment on how sweet she is, and she has grown into a great older sister to our family dog, Luna (who lives with my family). Between the two of them, I am comfortable with large breeds and with the extra patience senior dogs need. I have also dog sat regularly for friends, so I am used to stepping into someone else's routine and keeping their dog on it. I am very outdoorsy on top of that, so your dog will get real walks, not a quick trip around the block. As a PhD student, I work from home most of the day. My time on campus is limited to a few classes, my TA hours, and a student association meeting every other week, so I am home and available far more than someone on a standard nine to five. That flexibility is a big part of why I got Delphi at the start of my PhD. She has always had someone around to take her out during the day, and I can offer your dog the same. Before any payments or booking, I would like to set up a meet and greet so I can see how your dog responds to me. It tells me a lot, whether they warm up right away or need space, and it means the first day is not the first time we have met. This doesn't have to be long but it is a nice first impression to the dog. In my home, your dog will not be alone. Delphi is here as company, and I introduce new dogs to her slowly and on neutral ground so the first meeting goes well for both of them (like a local dog park). I live in a quiet, secure apartment community with an on-site dog park and an open field next door, plus several trails within walking distance, so your dog gets real exercise rather than being cooped up all day. Delphi is not crate trained and has free run of the apartment, but I am happy to crate your dog if that is part of their routine. Just bring the crate and let me know the schedule you use. In your home, I stick to your dog's routine rather than imposing my own. I follow your feeding times, walk schedule, and house rules, keep dogs leashed anywhere that is not fenced, and send photo updates so you know how the day went. If anything seems off with your dog, I contact you right away, and I am prepared to drive them to a vet if it cannot wait.
About: Hi! I'm Olga, and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with all kinds of dogs, from Miniature Poodles and Labs to four Dachshunds, so caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I have two dogs of my own, Atlas and Gaia, who are fully trained and well behaved. I've also trained them myself, along with helping train a few other family dogs over the years. I currently provide in home boarding and daycare for dogs and treat every pup like one of my own. I pay close attention to their behavior and well being, and I'l always keep you updated about anything I notice, whether it's an upset stomach, diarrhea, resource guarding, unusual behavior, or anything else that may be important. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they're with me. 🐾 ❤️ Dogs are already a big part of my everyday life, and I'm home often, so caring for pups fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy having them around and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large backyard where the dogs can run and play, plus a little dog pool for them to cool off and have fun outside. I also enjoy playing fetch, spending time with them, and giving them plenty of attention throughout the day. I'Il adjust activities based on each dog's energy level and what they enjoy most.
“Makayla was a really good sitter!! Easy to communicate and be on time to be outside of the door to welcome my pet. Will be back every time I am out of the town.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded not just by animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all personalities, temperaments, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine love. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work outside the home, but I work close by where coming home at lunchtime to check on or check on furry friend it’s not a problem. I have a fenced in yard and I am very careful to keep the doors closed. I am responsible and aware of things going on around me.
“So thankful to Jessica for taking such good care of Blu! She sent pics and updates daily for us. She was very patient with him being nervous his first night. I know he played non stop with his new buddies. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs and I will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you so much from Dani & Blu!”
“Ashley is always our top choice for pet care. Our boys absolutely adore her—just hearing the familiar bumpy road lets them know exactly where they’re going. They’re always excited to see Ashley and her children, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy they are in her care. I especially appreciate the opportunity they have to interact with other dogs in a safe, loving environment. I never have to worry when they’re with her. Highly recommend!”
“Joy gave my fur-baby all the care and snuggles he needed while we were away. I had complete trust in her abilities and she went above and beyond to keep my little guy engaged and happy.”
About: I’m the person at the party who’s on the floor with the pets! I love earning their trust, getting to know their quirks, and giving them all the cuddles they want. Whether they’re shy or super playful, I make sure every pet feels loved and comfortable while you’re away. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles between meetings, I’m always available to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Since I don’t currently have any pets, your dog or cat will have my full attention. I’ll stick closely to their usual routine and make sure they always feel happy, secure, and cared for. My home has a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe playtime for those that end up here.
About: Animals have been my entire life and passion. I grew up caring for them and have extensive, hands-on experience handling all types of personalities, sizes, and needs. My background includes working on a ranch where I managed boarding operations and administered medical care for both large and small animals. I am deeply committed to animal welfare. I have also spent years volunteering with multiple city Trap-Neuter-Return/Release (TNR) programs, which taught me how to safely handle anxious or fearful animals with patience and respect. I love all animals and treat every guest like family. Your pet will be staying in a home that is truly optimized for their safety and well-being.I work from home full-time with a highly flexible schedule, which gives me 24/7 availability. I take frequent breaks throughout the day to play, walk, and monitor your pet, ensuring constant supervision. Thanks to my ranch and TNR background, I have expert handling skills and understand animal behavior well. I can comfortably handle high-energy or shy pets, and I am fully confident administering oral medications, injections, or following strict medical routines.Because I work from the comfort of my home, your pet will rarely be left alone. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. Whether your pet needs a high-energy day of fetch or a quiet, comfortable space to snooze next to my desk, I easily adapt to their specific schedule and habits. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. My schedule allows me to stay with your pet almost 24/7, ensuring they are rarely left alone. Throughout the workday, I have a set routine where I take three 15-minute breaks and one full 1-hour break. I use this time to focus completely on your pet by taking them on walks, playing, or giving them potty breaks. Because my job keeps me at my desk, your pet can sleep or relax right in the same room with me all day, or they can rest in a separate room if they prefer quiet time. On weekends and evenings, my schedule is completely open for longer walks, grooming, and extra socialization. I tailor my care entirely to the unique needs of each animal, whether they are staying with me or if I am visiting your home. Thanks to my experience working on a ranch and volunteering with city trap-neuter-return programs, I am highly skilled in reading animal behavior and handling fearful, anxious, or high-energy pets. I maintain strict safety protocols, double-check that all gates and doors are secure, and follow your exact feeding and exercise instructions. If your pet has medical needs, I am fully qualified to administer oral medications and injections safely. I keep a clean, stress-free environment and adapt the daily setup based on your preferences and what fits the specific service you book.
