“Jennifer was great to work with. If you are staying at Larry and Penny Thompson campground she can take great care of your dog so you can day trip without worries. My dog was happy to see me but not upset about my extended absence, thanks to Jennifer!”
“Xiomara was awesome and very professional. She sent us daily videos when she would drop by of our cats. She made sure everybody was fed and watered and safe. She was very dependable and always on time. Everything was fantastic, and would certainly have her help us out again.”
“Savanna was excellent. She took great care while walking the pups and has a lot of patience and love for them. She let us know when she was on her way and they looked forward to seeing her by the second visit. Would recommend for sure”
“Priscilla was dependable, punctual, and responsive. Provided excellent care for my pup and sent detailed notes and pictures with each visit. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely book again/recommend.”
About: I grew up with animals, but since I moved to Miami I’ve been fostering and caring for shelter dogs. I have experience in dogs of all ages and sizes- especially seniors. I have enough treats and toys for a puptastic time! I currently am a biology pre-vet student who studies from home and loves to spend time with animals. I am happy to accommodate to any certain needs! I offer respect for the animals and the owners, with love and understanding. I treat the animal like they are my own, giving any additional care needed. My goal is to make the owner and the pet the most calm and relaxed in each situation.
About: i’ve taken care of and been around dogs ever since I was a little girl my family always had both dogs and cats so I’m good with both. I also have my own dog that I care for and he’s the greatest friend. I’m good with animals of all ages and I would love to help you guys out! I currently am in a masters program at FIU. I have class on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 to 4 PM. My weekends are completely open. I am available in the afternoon and evenings typically after 5 PM on weekdays. I can do whatever you need or whatever your dog is used to in your home whether that’s walking, playing in a yard, going to a dog park, etc.
“Natalie was amazing! She took great care of my cats and was really communicative. Even my nervous cat who is scared of everyone was comfortable with her, which shows how great she is with animals!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, which I became the primary caretaker of by the time I was 13. I am planning on becoming a veterinarian technician, as I love animals and I want to help them as much as I can! I have had some experience with baby kittens and other animals such as turtles, gerbils, hamsters, fish, etc. I currently have a dog and cat of my own, Pancho and Luna who I love with my whole heart!! I would be more than happy to provide your pets with care and affection! I am currently a university student, but I am taking a semester off, so I have an open availability. I am willing to work around any schedule that is most convenient for the client! I have a house apart from my apartment with my own pets, where there are no animals and plenty of space to run around. There is also a backyard area with a small patio and grass surrounding it. A small park is nearby as well which can be used at any time!
“Rachel did a great job with my three cats while I was out of town. I scheduled drop in visits and she was always prompt and communicated during and after the visit. I came home to find my cats well fed and happy as well as having clean litter boxes. I highly recommend Rachel.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I'm completely satisfied. It exceeded my expectations. Ricardo was awesome: very responsible and caring. Will definitely use them again during my trips.”
“Raquel for the second time taking care of my precious cat did such an amazing job!! Thank you for your continuous care and attention to my cat. Between feedings, pets and playtime I couldn’t have asked for anything more during my 2 weeks away!!”
“I had a wonderful experience with José. He followed every instruction perfectly and was extremely professional throughout the entire stay. Communication was excellent, he always kept me updated and made me feel at ease while I was away. I would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I’m happy to help with any of your pet’s needs, from feeding and walks to playtime and extra care. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pets like my own. I am currently working part time in the morning from 9am-12pm but after that I have open availability and will be able to come visit whenever you need. I’ll visit your home and provide any kind of service your pet needs. I will play, clean, walk, give medicine, and anything else your baby needs.
About: I have over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for my family pets and my own dogs, so animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. In addition to caring for my own pets, I also have more than 15 years of experience fostering and helping re-home dogs and cats. Through fostering, I’ve learned how important it is to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality, history, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets who may be shy, nervous, energetic, or still adjusting to new people and environments. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat that responsibility with the care and respect it deserves. My schedule is currently open for dog walks and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. I am also available for boarding and will do my best to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. During walks and drop-ins, you can expect dependable care, clear communication, and updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, medication reminders, and companionship depending on your pet’s needs. For boarding, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and any special instructions before their stay. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Guest pets have access to a private, air-conditioned room where they can lounge, relax, and sleep comfortably. The room has a cozy pullout couch, plenty of natural light, and a private entrance, creating a calm and comfortable space for pets to feel at ease. I also have a private fenced patio that is separate from my backyard, as well as a larger backyard area that guest pets can enjoy with supervision. This gives pets space to stretch, explore, and get fresh air in a safe environment. I can also crate your dog if needed or preferred, and I will always follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, routines, sleeping arrangements, medication, walks, and any safety precautions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Ruth is super responsive and very friendly with your babies! I had a last minute drop in I only had two hours to find someone and she was very fast at responding and helped me out in a pinch. Our original schedule was for 6 visits and she squeezed in the 7th for us last minute! Life saver!”

I'm a repeat customer and as always Ricardo and Carlos were excellent. I had drop in visits to look after my cat Helena and they are always very responsive, takes lots of pictures and leaves everything in order. I'm happy that I can trust them and if you are considering it I would recommend giving them a try!
Ariagna fue maravillosa. Fue súper puntual. Muy cariñosa y atenta; mi gata la amó desde el primer momento. Durante todo el tiempo me mantuvo informada, enviándome fotos y videos, lo cual me dio muchísima tranquilidad. Sin duda la volvería a elegir y la recomiendo al 100%. Ariagna was wonderful. She was extremely punctual. Very caring and attentive; my cat loved her from the very first moment. Throughout the entire time, she kept me informed by sending photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely choose her again and recommend her 100%.
Savanna is super sweet and really attentive. She took great care of my rabbits while I was out of town and followed all of my instructions without any issues. She kept me updated the whole time, which made me feel so much better being away. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pets with her. If you’re looking for a pet sitter on Rover, she’s the one! ☺️💓

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in University Park on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,365 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across University Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in University Park. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
