“Dropping our dogs off at Megan's was like dropping our dogs off at a second (more fun) home! My two great pyrnees mix pups love people and dogs, so Megan gave them a space that kept them busy and happy. They got to cool off daily in the doggy kiddie pools and play with other dog friends. Our dogs love the dirt and mud when playing, so Megan bathed them before sending them home, which was above and beyond. If you're looking for a person to love your dog like one of their own, choose Megan!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

“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.”

Jessica sent pictures everyday, most of which my dog was worn out, meaning he was playing & being well taken care of! 1,000% would recommend Jessica!!”
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.

“Ashley was so wonderful! She checked on my two boys regularly and always offered a note on how they were doing with the cutest photos! She was very understanding of my requests and was so easy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough, and will definitely be using her again next time I go out of town! :)”
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
“We were very thankful to have been able to book Amelia fairly last minute. She handled our dog’s full body welcomes when she got into the house like a champ and provided an excellent rover card when her visit was over!”

“Uma stays with James for doggie day care on a weekly basis when I’m at work. Naturally I was hesitant at first given the fact that I treat Uma (8 month old English Bulldog) like she was my first born. I can’t say enough about what a great experience it has been and continues to be. Caring, loving, watchful and considerate are just a few of the many adjectives I could use to recommend his services. His yard is fenced and very secure and he takes his day to play with all his furry friends so I never have to worry about Uma running away or being crated and left alone all day. It really is at a point now when in the mornings I ask Uma if she wants to see James today, she runs to the door waging her tail like she just got a new bone. In sum, I was extremely blessed to come across Rover.com and find James. It has been a wonderful experience to say the least.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 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.
“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: 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.

“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’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.

“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 have taken care of dogs off and on my whole life, I’ve dog sat overnight and took them out when needed. I want to be there for your dogs as if you were there! I’m free most of the time and can be there when you need, I’m trying to get rent for college but still want the freedom of a summer!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life . I love taking them for walks , or just cuddling on the couch . I’ve been around all ages puppies as well as the elderly ones. I do work a full time job , but have the flexibility to spend lunch breaks with the pets and my mornings and evenings are open . I have a fenced yard and two small dogs of my own . Can crate if necessary. Safety is always the goal no matter what.
“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: 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’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: 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.
“Brittany is always SO quick to respond, willing to be flexible, and wonderful to work with. I’ve booked walks with her probably 20+ times, and my pup & I both are happily returning customers! Thank you Brittany!!!”

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’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and loved ones, including long stays, dog walks and drop in visits. I also have two cats of my own. As a pet owner myself, I am very attentive to their needs. I care about keeping them happy, healthy, and stimulated. 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
“Buster and I love Lezlie! It's been such a great piece of mind to know that he's getting some exercise and a potty break when I am stuck at work all day. She always gives good updates after their walks, and it brightens my day! Thanks Lezlie!”
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 college student at Texas A&M. I am however taking an easier class load because I am about to graduate. Whoop! So I have quite a bit of free time. 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'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: 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.

“Dropping our dogs off at Megan's was like dropping our dogs off at a second (more fun) home! My two great pyrnees mix pups love people and dogs, so Megan gave them a space that kept them busy and happy. They got to cool off daily in the doggy kiddie pools and play with other dog friends. Our dogs love the dirt and mud when playing, so Megan bathed them before sending them home, which was above and beyond. If you're looking for a person to love your dog like one of their own, choose Megan!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover & Jessica to board my dog. I will tell you without a doubt that Jessica is AWESOME!! She made my dog feel at home from the start. Jessica sent pictures everyday, most of which my dog was worn out, meaning he was playing & being well taken care of! 1,000% would recommend Jessica!!”
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 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.
“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.”
