“Amazing sitter for my dog! They were able to accommodate everything he needed and gave him the most amazing experience, from pup cups and extra treats to play time in a kiddie pool! They continued to send message updates and photos throughout his stay, which was great to keep my mind at ease knowing he was being cared for and enjoying his time with them!”
“I was the happiest to be home away from home. Ms. Megan introduced me to her family and puppy friends. Mom has promised me to stay at my 🆕 vacation pad because I don’t like to be alone or caged. I came home to be loved as much as Ms. Megan loves me ❣️ Mom was so happy to bring me home safe, well cared for and mostly clean, no itching, matted tail or scared to be away from mom and dad. For the first time, mom has agreed to allow me to a vacation of my own, no joke, we ❤️ Ms. Megan’s all inclusive 🧆🦴🐕🦺🛋️”
“I DREADED boarding our dogs, UNTIL we met Mikayla & Stephen and their amazing family. They are truly a Godsend and care for our dogs with so much love. Our dogs LOVE going over to Mikayla & Stephen’s, as they get to play with other dogs, cats and of course the sweetest kids!! Mikayla sends plenty of pictures/ videos and updates! I know when we drop our dogs off, they are in great hands! Thank you Mikayla and Stephen for being a home away from home for our doggies!!! See y’all again soon!”

“Arianne was so caring and compassionate with our dog! She kept our dog while we were away for a weekend. She kept communication with us throughout the weekend, sending pictures and texts updating us on how our dog was doing and asking questions when needed. She was very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors, as well. She is quick to respond and was very accommodating us, even though we contacted her with less than a week before our trip. I highly recommend her!”
“Roy and Bethany handled the dogs really well. I appreciated the daily feedback and photos. I also quite liked how spacious it was; there was plenty enough space for the dogs run and play. I’ll definitely request them to watch Emmitt & Mindy again in the future!??”

“Our dog Taco had a BLAST! We went on vacation, but apparently so did Taco. Gisella sent us pictures of Taco 2-3 times a day and was very responsive. We can’t say enough good things about the family, and they worked with us on dropoff/pickup even though we booked with short notice.

I have been so anxious with other sitters before so decided to book with Jessica this time due to her gazillion rave reviews and just knowing that I would have peace of mind while I was away. She is clearly extremely experienced, and even put a goodie bag of treats in Roman’s bag when I picked him up!”

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

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lyons
“Our corgi Niles has only been a few times but he will definitely be going back! He loves it and gets so excited in the morning when he realizes he’s going to daycare! I love getting the picture updates throughout the day as well. James takes such good care of our boy. He’s always so tired for the rest of the day so I know he had a good time!”
“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!”
“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.”

“Mikayla was an awesome Dog Sitter. She and her whole family clearly adore dogs, and take great care of them. At their house, they have a great yard, have a doggie door for when they get tired/hot, and clearly provide a lot of loving. Our dog has a lot of separation anxiety, but when when we dropped him off, he seemed very content and relaxed at their home. So according to Tucker too, they have an awesome vibe.:) highly recommend Mikayla and Stephen.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes ever since I was young, and as I got older, my love for them continued to grow. This passion was instrumental in deciding my future as I am currently studying at Texas A&M and finishing up my degree in Animal Science. I want to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and plan on applying to the Texas A&M Veterinary School in 2026. I have worked in two veterinary clinics, one of which was AHAA accredited and provided overnight boarding for both cats and dogs. Outside of my time in clinics, I have also studied in laboratories that were at the cutting edge of veterinary medicine. Although not as relevant to this service, I also have experience in exotic pet care, including lagamorphs, rodents, arthropods, and wildlife. My unique experiences have provided me not only with a vast of knowledge of animal medicine, but an understanding of animal communication and husbandry as well. I know that pets are held very close to our hearts, and if I am given the privilege to watch yours, I will use my knowledge, and, most importantly, my compassion to give them the love and care they deserve while your away. While I am currently in college, my work load this semester is very light as I near the end of my degree - only 8 hours a week. When I’m not at class, I’m at home and will be able to give your pet the attention they need. I am very flexible and am willing to watch your pet in my two story condo or in your very own home! My only mission is to make your pet most comfortable, and I will do whatever I can to make it so. I understand that every pet is different, and am more than happy to accommodate for all. My goal is to limit their schedule changes to create as little stress as possible while you’re gone. Whatever walking or feeding schedule you provide will be the one that I adopt when caring for your babies!

“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.”
“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.”

About: I've been taking dogs for jogs since I was about 7 years old. By 12, I was THE go-to pet sitter in my mom's work circle, often doing week long stints during summers. Professionally, I worked as a dog groomer, and enjoyed that job like no other! I have experience in caring for senior pets on strict medication regimens as well as wound-care. It would be my pleasure to get to know you and your fur-babies, and to provide your pets with the same level of love, care and structure that I give to my own dog and cats at home. I am currently working part time, so have plenty of hours in the day in which I can care for your pet. I have both early morning and afternoon-evening availability, as well as weekends. Whatever your needs, I'm sure we'd be able to come up with a pland that suits you and your fur-babies. We live in a home with a spacious back yard that is fully fenced. I have one medium sized dog, who can either play with your pup, or be kept separated, depending on your dog's preferences. In your home, I will ensure your pet is given the same level of love and care I give to my own, but from the comfort of their environment. If you are ok with going on walks in your neighborhood then you can bet we'll be pounding the street while your pet is in my care! I'll stick to parks/neighborhoods your pet is familiar with, unless you would prefer the get exposure to new areas.
About: Just a girl away for college without her cuddly friend. Looking to take care of other cutie pies. I’ve worked with older cats who take medication to young puppies. Big, small, cat, dog, I love them all! I'm a recent graduate from Texas A&M. Whoop! Due to this my schedule has opened up a lot. So I have quite a bit of free time to help other with their pets!! I just about do it all! I walk, water, feed, play, and clean up after. During my visit I also try and take the best pictures of your pet! Its always a fun time but the pictures always end up a little 🤪
About: I grew up on a farm. Have had numerous dogs, cats and other species. I have worked at a pet resort and am currently a vet tech working at a local hospital. I am currently doing school and working part- time, but I know how to manage my time in between. For example, I love taking dogs on walks and doing interactive activities with them! I currently do have a senior dog that can keep your fur baby company. I have a fenced in yard, but I do also do walks. My dog goes on 2-3 walks a day + gets time outside in my back yard whenever she wants. She’s on a strict feeding schedule and has dietary restrictions which I also accommodate.
About: I’ve worked previously in the animal rescue field. I have experience with medication schedules, administration, grooming, nail trimming, and specialized diet/food schedules. I’ve also cared for many dogs after major surgeries. I’ve also been pet sitting since my early teens and would love to meet your pets! I work 100% remotely with a fully flexible schedule and boss! As long as my laptop connects to the internet, I can be wherever I want. I live on a 1.5 acre farm, which is currently unfenced. My dogs are off leash trained, fully vetted, and on all preventative medications they require. If you are uncomfortable with allowing your dog off leash on my property, I have leashes, moveable stake leashes, and access to plenty of water sources outside.
About: I am currently a second year veterinary student here at A&M, so I am very knowledgable on animal health and behavior. I have been taking care of animals for my entire life, so I am open to any size, type, or any level of specialized care that they might need. I can also help with nail trims, anal glands and administering medications! This summer my schedule is very flexible, and only have a few weeks blocked off due to my externships that I need to attend. This allows me to work anytime that you might need! I currently live in an apartment, so that’s why I am currently not offering boarding. However, in a client’s home I will always make sure the pet is cared for while keeping you home clean and organized.
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: What to say... I LOVE dogs/animals. I can't remember not having a dog as a pet and as an adult have always had at least one Scottie (Briar was my third Scottie). I have had the opportunity to have multiple animals as "family members" in my household for years. Now retired, I find myself with more time on my hands. In addition, a few years back my Cairn Terrier (Ferris) passed away - Briar became lonely, so we used Rover to find a few new playmates on occasion; he loved to play. The yard is a park like setting completely fenced in an awesome neighborhood with Landstrom Park just up the road which is a great place to walk your pets. I have the time, experience, passion and patience to care, putting an owner's mind at ease that "All is Well" with their furry family members. Since this description about me, Briar passed away; he was 14. March 16, 2005 - March 26, 2019. The place is now called Camp Briar in his honor. I work from home. So I am able to provide care for your fur babies in a fairly constant manner. Pets are never left unattended. Care is constant and consistent. I have a fenced-in yard that they have constant access to. They get lots of playtime and downtime when needed.
About: I have taken care of pets for my parents, my friends, and family members. I started at just 12 years old with my parents dogs, when they weren’t around. I also took care of my friend’s dog when she would leave town. I always grew up with dogs and only knew about them. Until 3 years ago when I got two cats from a close friend. Now I have a great understanding of cats and I know their needs. I love cats and dogs very much and love taking care of them both. Your pet will be in good hands with me. I have plenty of time on my day to care for animals. I already have my 3 that I am used to caring for. I am confident I can take care of other animals with their own needs. In my home I will keep animals separated if need be. I can also keep them together if they get along well and can play. When going to someone else’s I will be respectful of their home and make sure no animal goes outside without leash. I will also keep the animal wherever they are comfortable in their own home.
“Barbara has been on time every day and so prompt with her responses! My goldendoodle loves her already. She really takes the time to make sure that my dog gets the most out of her walks plus some playtime with her toys. I didn’t want to bother Barbara with sending pictures every day but she does it anyway and it’s so lovely! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, fun, and trustworthy sitter :)”
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!
About: I have cared for animals of all sizes and kinds my whole life. I have been dog/cat/horse sitting for many years and am comfortable taking care of all animals. I grew up on a farm taking care of rescue horses, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. I currently have two percious dogs, Shelley and Watson. Both are rescues and my best friends. My favorite activity is playing with them in our yard and going on road trips together. I am available to walk and play with your pets as well as house sit if needed. I will check on your pet regularly and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I am a school teacher so my summer schedule is very flexible. Please consider me for all your pet needs!
About: I have not been active on Rover for a couple years in order to dedicate all of my time to college and preparing for law school, but as that chapter is coming to a close, I am back! Ever since I was 10 years old, I’ve taken care of 2 dogs on my own, because both my parents had full-time jobs. When my senior dog was diagnosed with fatal cancer, I was her main caretaker up until her last minute. You can count on me to take special care of your senior pets just as well as I did my own. Furthermore, I recently got my first puppy independently and raised her completely on my own. That being said, raising a puppy (especially a GSD) is not for the faint of heart, therefore I feel very experienced with caretaking and dog ownership. I’m young, full of energy, and responsible so I would love to share this with your high-energy pets too! I can adhere to both sides of the spectrum, old and slow or young and spunky. Your pets are in good hands with me! I provide my GSD, Zoey, with daily exercise and stimulation. At the very least, Zoey gets 2 walks per day, each of which are 30 mins to 1 hour. I also take Zoey with me everywhere possible (picking up groceries, studying at a coffee shop, exploring nature trails, etc). Other than taking care of Zoey’s needs, if my profile is active, I am extremely flexible with scheduling! I will adhere to the owners instructions and preferences precisely. I know how hard it is to trust someone else to take care of your furry best friend as well as you would yourself, but I promise to do exactly as asked and more! I have a deep passion for animals and would want a sitter to treat my pets as well I would, or better. You’re pets are in great hands with me.
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. This gives me a little more flexibility to help take care of your furry friends. I am available most days depending on the services that you are needing. My wife and I have two cats. LE is 10 years old and Bella is 2 years old. We provide them food and water at all times and give them treats and canned food on special occasions. These cats are spoiled and love to sleep right next to us.
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.

“Amazing sitter for my dog! They were able to accommodate everything he needed and gave him the most amazing experience, from pup cups and extra treats to play time in a kiddie pool! They continued to send message updates and photos throughout his stay, which was great to keep my mind at ease knowing he was being cared for and enjoying his time with them!”
“I was the happiest to be home away from home. Ms. Megan introduced me to her family and puppy friends. Mom has promised me to stay at my 🆕 vacation pad because I don’t like to be alone or caged. I came home to be loved as much as Ms. Megan loves me ❣️ Mom was so happy to bring me home safe, well cared for and mostly clean, no itching, matted tail or scared to be away from mom and dad. For the first time, mom has agreed to allow me to a vacation of my own, no joke, we ❤️ Ms. Megan’s all inclusive 🧆🦴🐕🦺🛋️”
“I DREADED boarding our dogs, UNTIL we met Mikayla & Stephen and their amazing family. They are truly a Godsend and care for our dogs with so much love. Our dogs LOVE going over to Mikayla & Stephen’s, as they get to play with other dogs, cats and of course the sweetest kids!! Mikayla sends plenty of pictures/ videos and updates! I know when we drop our dogs off, they are in great hands! Thank you Mikayla and Stephen for being a home away from home for our doggies!!! See y’all again soon!”
“Paul is AMAZING! We met him at a neutral park first. My PJ liked him. Then we met Blaze, who is a very friendly pup. Paul sent pictures and was very responsive while I was gone. I will DEFINITELY call on him again!”
“Arianne was so caring and compassionate with our dog! She kept our dog while we were away for a weekend. She kept communication with us throughout the weekend, sending pictures and texts updating us on how our dog was doing and asking questions when needed. She was very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors, as well. She is quick to respond and was very accommodating us, even though we contacted her with less than a week before our trip. I highly recommend her!”
“Roy and Bethany handled the dogs really well. I appreciated the daily feedback and photos. I also quite liked how spacious it was; there was plenty enough space for the dogs run and play. I’ll definitely request them to watch Emmitt & Mindy again in the future!??”
“Thank you so much Ashlyn! You and your husband was very flexible and was able to take Chase in at the last minute. I genuinely enjoyed the pictures and knowing he was in great care with you and your husband. I will definitely make sure that I book with you when I am traveling that way again. Thank you!!”
“London was incredible! We came into town to visit family & didn’t want to have to worry about our pup & she took amazing care of her! Sent pictures, played with her & was super flexible with our timeline. Would highly recommend!”
“This was Penny's first time being boarded, and Lezlie was great! Penny had a bit of separation anxiety, and Lezlie did everything that she could to help ease her out of it. She sent daily updates, and also sent pictures just about every day. I would definitely recommend Lezlie!”
“Our dog Taco had a BLAST! We went on vacation, but apparently so did Taco. Gisella sent us pictures of Taco 2-3 times a day and was very responsive. We can’t say enough good things about the family, and they worked with us on dropoff/pickup even though we booked with short notice. I highly recommend leaving your pet with Gisella if you want them to be left in a loving home with a loving family. We will definitely be booking with Gisella in the future.”
“Kayla did an amazing job!! Bailey came home so worn out and happy, couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker! She sent me pictures throughout the stay and made sure my pup was taken care of!! 10/10 recommend”
“Roman had a GREAT time with Jessica and her crew!! She was super responsive and sent plenty of pictures and videos. She also introduced everyone slowly and does a great job of reading dogs. I have been so anxious with other sitters before so decided to book with Jessica this time due to her gazillion rave reviews and just knowing that I would have peace of mind while I was away. She is clearly extremely experienced, and even put a goodie bag of treats in Roman’s bag when I picked him up!”
“Edward was great! Kept us up to date on what Chance was doing and how he was doing with eating and drinking. I got multiple pictures of Chance looking comfortable and cozy during his stay.”
“Mary Jane was wonderful! She took such good care of our boy and she was so accommodating. It really eased my anxieties about leaving him for a night for the first time. She always communicated so clearly and quickly and was so patient and flexible with us. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“My fur baby can be very nervous, which makes it hard on me to leave him with sitters or boarding places. With Tamara, though, I had peace of mind through his entire stay! She was very sweet and understanding with him and was great about responding to me in a timely matter. She sent updates and pictures throughout his stay as well! I knew he was in great hands, will definitely book again!”
“Mille was a fabulous sitter for my anxious pup Darcy! She was easy to communicate with and was attentive to my pup’s needs and quirks. She sent me pictures of Darcy almost immediately and then about every 2-3 hours, which made me feel so reassured. Darcy was happy and content at pick up. I’m confident she was in the best hands!”
“Shyla was a great sitter for our pups over the weekend. She was kind & caring and gave plenty of updates to let us know how they were doing during the stay. We would most definitely use her again.”
