“Anna took care of my fur babies Buddy and Paco like they were her own. She loved on them, made sure they were spoiled with chicken on their food, walked them and paid crazy amounts of personal attention to them. My dogs came home exhausted and happy from having so much fun. I highly recommend Anna, she goes over and above!”

About: I grew up with animals my entire life, and have always watched neighbors and family's pets throughout the years. From puppies and kittens, to senior dogs and cats, the joy and love they bring is priceless. I enjoy walking dogs and working on basic commands, playing their favorite games, and of course some back scratches and belly rubs if needed! Can bathe, give medicines as necessary. I have a flexible schedule as a realtor with my associates help, and can make appointments around pet's schedules. I'm flexible weekdays and weekends for the most part. I have a large fenced backyard and a big dog who loves to play with dogs of all sizes. My year old cat loves to play with my dog and could be separated if need be. Can kennel visiting dog if preferred.
About: Hi my name is Brylee! I am an animal science major with a focus in production. I have owned and cared for animals my entire life ranging from dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, goats, lambs, cattle, and horses. I am reliable, hard working, and calm in stressful situations. I am currently a full time student at TAMU, I take all morning classes so I am available after 1pm everyday! I am a morning person so I can be available to care for your pets before i head to class! I live in a neighborhood with 2 amazing dog parks as well as a pond! I can easily adapt to fit into your pets routine to make it easier for you and them!
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 an obedience trainer from Animal Behavior College. 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. I’m also working toward applying to veterinary technology school, with the goal of becoming a licensed veterinary technician. I want to build on my dog training experience by learning more about animals’ physical health so I can better understand and support each pet’s individual needs. 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.
“Correa was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! 🐾❤️ She took great care of him, and I could tell he was happy and well loved. I highly recommend Correa and will definitely be using her again!”
“Jessica and Evan are the best pet sitters! My puppy had a great time and I was given constant updates which really put me at ease for my first time apart from her. I highly recommend them.”
About: I am a trusted rover sitter and I have been caring for dogs all my life. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, giving oral and injectable medication and caring for high-needs pets, and I always treat every pet as if they’re my own! Myself and my home are always committed to keeping your dog happy and healthy. My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate most booking requests. I am able to give pets my full time and attention especially when staying with me at home. Pets that stay with me will receive ample amounts of love and attention as well as mental and physical stimulation to help ease the transition.
About: So, I usually volunteer at animal shelters so my experience taking care of dogs comes mostly from that, and I want to be a veterinarian so I’ve also had some experience with shadowing, and can usually see when things are wrong. I will say I’ve never done dog sitting but I’ve had a dog before and currently a cat, so I do know how to take care of animals. Hello, I’m currently home for summer, and I have pretty much every day free besides volunteering at a shelter in the morning from 9-11. Most of the time I have the dog, I’ll most likely spend walking them. I do love doing dog walks, but I’ll also always make sure they’re well fed, and well cared for, and always have water.
About: I’ve had pets for 6 years now. I got my first Ragdoll cat in 2020, then raised a black Labrador from a puppy in 2021. We spent a lot of time together and went on a lot of trips, so he’s pretty used to new places and changes. My friends used to call my pets “travel pets.” In 2024, I also got a Siamese cat. I’m very used to having pets around all the time and spending long hours with them. I really enjoy being with animals. Being around pets makes me happy and gives me a lot of energy, and I’m more than happy to spend time just hanging out with them, playing, walking, or keeping them company. I’m a PhD student at Texas A&M, and I mostly work from home since my work is computer-based. I don’t need to go into an office except for occasional meetings, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I usually like to take pets out first thing after I wake up, and during the day I have plenty of breaks where I’m happy to spend time playing with them or just hanging out. I’m around most of the day, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I often watch my friends’ pets, especially when they go home for holidays or travel, so I’m used to caring for pets that are new to me. I’m pretty good at getting pets to feel comfortable quickly, and I always take things slow and let them set the pace. I keep my place clean and calm, and I’m careful about safety and routines. I want pets to feel safe and relaxed, not stressed.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Whitman can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Whitman home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Whitman.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Whitman sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
