“Carol was wonderful to work with. She was incredibly attentive to our girls and consistently provided thoughtful daily updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. I trust her completely with our pets and would absolutely hire her again in the future. Thank you so much, Carol!”
“Brittany did a great job with our two dogs and three cats. She sent pictures to us on a regular basis and stayed in contact with us. Our pets really liked her.”

“Amelia took such great care of our dogs. She sent photos while we were away and was so good with all 3 dogs. She stayed in touch and asked questions when she needed to. She braved the downpour of rain to make sure the dogs went outside. Amelia was awesome and so respectful with our home, and I could tell she took care of our dogs and they enjoyed her company. We highly recommend Amelia to take care of your babies 🥰!”
About: Hi! I’m Veronika and I'm working on my PhD at Texas A&M in genetics! I have taken care of cats, dogs, and other small pets since I was a child. I am a very reliable and organized person when it comes to pet care!💝 I have time usually before 10:30am and after 4pm. During the day I am always able to find time for drop-in visits / dog walks. I have an apartment in College Station. I am fully opened to visit client's homes and care for your pets there or if you are going somewhere for longer your pet can stay with me!

“Anastasia is so sweet and was the perfect caregiver for our lab mix, Daisy. She was very easy to communicate with, and sent pictures daily, putting us at ease while we were on vacation. I will definitely request Anastasia again when needed, and recommend her to others.”
“Lindsey is amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure all was taken care of while we were away. She took great care of our dachshund and chickens, and we returned to a clean house! I will definitely use her again, and will recommend her to anyone I know looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I got my first dog when I was 5 and started caring for other people’s pets around age 8. Since then, friends and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs, cats, and even turtles! After losing my own dog this year, I know firsthand how special the bond with a pet is and how much you can miss them when you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own, with lots of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also a BIG picture person, so expect plenty of photo updates! I know how much it means to see your furry friend while you’re away, and getting to spend time with animals brings me so much joy. I’d love to help give you peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved! I have classes during the day, but I have breaks in between when I can stop by to visit or walk your pet! I work part-time in the afternoons, so my mornings are usually pretty open. I’m also available most weekends and don’t have classes on Fridays, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule! I currently live in a dorm, so I can't host pets in my own space, but I’d love to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home! I’m very attentive and will make sure your pet always has fresh water, gets plenty of love and attention, and has a clean space. I’ll always clean up after them, check for any messes, and brush them if needed.

“Heather was great at communicating leading up to the trip and sent regular updates about Ruby while I was away! The house was also super tidy when I came back. Would have her house/dog sit again!”

About: I have loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience caring for not only dogs and cats, but also sheep and horses. I’ve been responsible for animals since I was young and have developed a strong passion for providing them with loving, attentive care. I am experienced with pets of all ages, including senior animals, and I will always ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and treated like family while they’re in my care. Pet care would be part of my everyday schedule. I would plan my day around feeding times, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure each pet gets attention and comfort. I’m used to being responsible and checking in on animals multiple times throughout the day, so I can easily adjust my routine to meet their needs. In my own home or a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime based on their energy level and personality. 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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wellborn
Julia was fabulous with taking care of coco, she followed all the instructions and fulfilled all of cocos needs. Despite being the first time taking care of him in my apartment, she understood all instructions on how to get in and out of the building very easily and was very helpful when I had to be out for half the day
Addison did an amazing job house sitting our 4 Yorkies! Our dogs were very happy and excited upon our return which tells us they were extremely well cared for. She updated us on their progress, sent pics and she took great care of them and our household. We have a rather shy male and and Addi got him to quickly warm up to her and allowing him to cuddle in bed to ease his separation from us! Addi was gracious enough to meet with us prior to booking thru Rover to ensure a good mutual fit and was prompt for our appointment times. We would highly recommend Addi and will be sure to use here again in the future!
Alicia is the best! She sat our 2 pups (Golden and Golden doodle) for the weekend sending pictures and keeping us updated the entire time. We came home to the house like we never left and the puppies were happy! Will have her sit again when she can! Thanks for taking care of our fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wellborn walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wellborn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wellborn choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
