“Best pet sitters I’ve had! They are so sweet and accommodating. Hank a sue have had a blast and got a lot of photos! It felt great knowing my dogs were not in a kenneling place sad and alone. They were on vacation too!”
“We had to book on short notice for our dogs, Sissy and Elliott so that I could travel out of town for some overnight medical testing. Our previous sitter was already booked, but we found Megan and it was a match made in Heaven! Our babies fit right in with Megan and her husband and we were especially pleased to know that she has a special place for the senior dogs (ours are 10 and 12). We highly recommend her for your furry friends! We will be booking with her again soon!”
“This was the sweetest family, there was no doubt in my mind that while I was on my trip my fur baby was taken care of as if she was part of their family. Thank y’all again!!!”

“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.”

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.
“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.”

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

“Had a Meet and Greet! All of the dogs were extremely friendly and quickly accepted my pup in their ranks and started to play. House and yard are a great environment for the dogs and James is extremely friendly and seems to be very concerned about the overall well being of all pups in his care. 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.”

“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: 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: 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.
“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 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 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.
About: Loving pet sitter! Experience in a veterinary office; I care for my own puppy and regularly help with family members’ pets, including dogs and cats. As a mom of a two-year-old and a Speech Language Pathology Assistant with Bryan ISD, I have a structured weekday schedule and am available for pet care during evenings and weekends. I am also fully available during school holidays and breaks, making me a great fit for families who travel or need consistent, reliable care during extended times away. I prioritize safety by following pet care instructions closely, keeping a secure environment, and using positive, gentle handling. I build trust through reliable, loving care.
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.
About: I grew up breeding labrador retriever's, so i’m very skilled with the maintenance and patience it takes to raise and train puppies and adult dogs. I am working Monday-Friday with a hour lunch break in College Station and am free to care for your pet before/after work and on weekends! With the supplies, space, and time offered at your home, I will ensure that your pet is safe and having a blast in my care!
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.

My routine tends to cater around theirs in many ways I have an apartment with a patio so I’ve made it extremely cat friendly for their safety. I also have lots of toys for stimulation since they are in door cats and cat furniture for them to rest on. For clients homes’ I’ll take cues from my surrounds and from what they tell me during our debriefing

“Best pet sitters I’ve had! They are so sweet and accommodating. Hank a sue have had a blast and got a lot of photos! It felt great knowing my dogs were not in a kenneling place sad and alone. They were on vacation too!”
“We had to book on short notice for our dogs, Sissy and Elliott so that I could travel out of town for some overnight medical testing. Our previous sitter was already booked, but we found Megan and it was a match made in Heaven! Our babies fit right in with Megan and her husband and we were especially pleased to know that she has a special place for the senior dogs (ours are 10 and 12). We highly recommend her for your furry friends! We will be booking with her again soon!”
“This was the sweetest family, there was no doubt in my mind that while I was on my trip my fur baby was taken care of as if she was part of their family. Thank y’all again!!!”
“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!”
“Arienne provided great care for our two dogs while we were away. Unfortunately one of my dogs had an accident on her furniture and she was very understanding. You can tell Arienne really loves dogs and is a true dog lover. I would highly recommend using Arienne for any dog sitting needs!”
“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!”
“Lezlie was a delight to work with. She sent updates on my boy regularly and he came home happy and satisfied! Plus she was efficient, kind, and accommodating with everything I needed. Couldn't ask for a better experience and would definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Makayla did a wonderful job watching our pup, Koda! She was very friendly and communicative, and sent us update pictures of our happy little guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our puppy with her again!”
“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.”
“Appreciated the easy communication and friendly service. My dog enjoyed his stay and felt welcome. Made our family visit to Aggieland easier with regards to dining out and other activities that were not dog friendly. Thumbs Up!”
“Shyla is wonderful. I cannot stress how wonderful she (and her family) are. This was the first time we boarded our pups somewhere other than their vet’s office. After leaving our pups with her and heading to Mexico, we learned that my big black and tan coonhound has a real separation anxiety issue, which our vet never mentioned. He was awful for her. Really awful. But she (and her family) treated him with love and kindness, even as he made life incredibly difficult for them. I won’t ever board Ulysses and someone else’s home, but I am grateful that I not only learned about his separation anxiety problem, but that he was in a place where he was cared for, even when it was hard to do so. Shyla is a great communicator, sending updates and pics multiple times a day, and quick to answer any questions we had. I cannot recommend Shyla highly enough.”
“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!”
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.
