“Reya was well taken care of. Ricardo is a great communicator, sent photos and videos, and I knew Reya would be safe, comfortable, and have a great time. Would absolutely use again for pet sitting.”
“Angela took amazing care of Bucky! We left him with her for a couple of days and he had a great time. She made sure to provide daily updates of how he was doing. Would highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again next time we need a sitter.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with her caring for our 11-month-old Shipoo. She was incredibly diligent, loving, and attentive, and treated our pup like her own. She kept us fully in the loop with regular updates, replied promptly to all our questions, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust her again!”
“Carolina was great with Laka. She provided daily feedback and photos during Laka’s stay. She was flexible with a meet and greet, as this was the first time with her, and allow me to bring a rug to help with Laka’s mobility in the house.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with over 5 years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m also very comfortable with dogs who aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of other dogs or people. My own dog is reactive, so I’m used to being patient, paying attention to body language, avoiding situations that may overwhelm a dog, and giving them the space they need. Because of this, I understand that every dog is different and that some pups need a little extra patience and care. I’ve mainly done dog walking and sitting in clients’ homes since I’m unable to board dogs at my own house due to my dog’s reactivity. I’m reliable, responsible, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. Most importantly, I absolutely LOVE dogs and would be so excited to spend time with yours! 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student at FIU, but I have a pretty flexible class schedule. I have two classes on Monday and Wednesday, one class on Tuesday and Thursday, and no classes on Fridays or throughout the weekend. Because of this, I’m at my apartment often and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I also have my car here, so I am able to easily commute to different locations. I’m also a very active person and love going on walks, so taking a dog on longer walks is something I would genuinely enjoy. I live right near campus, and there is a grassy area directly below my apartment where people regularly take their dogs out, which makes quick potty breaks really convenient. I also have one roommate who loves dogs, so your pup would definitely be welcomed and cared for while they’re with me! I’m happy to work pet care into my schedule and make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and attention that I would give my own. I have a genuine passion for animals and want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and their dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’m also very attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, especially because I have experience with dogs who may be nervous or reactive. If I ever have any concerns about a pet, I will communicate them to the owner right away. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive environment and make sure the dog is happy and well cared for.
“Ynes was amazing with Boogie and Randy during the days we were away. She took such great care of them, kept us updated, sent pictures and videos, and clearly treated them with a lot of love and patience. We came back to two very happy and well cared doggies. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her”
“They are without a doubt the best! 🎖️ We left our dog with them for 10 days and we didn't regret it, he had a great time with them 🤗 My dog takes medication 4 times a day and they made sure that he always had his medication at the exact time and they took care of him as if he were their own baby. They even sent me videos of every time they gave him his medication and many photos of him playing and having a good time. They took great care of him and gave him a lot of love. 5 stars. highly recommended. 😀”
“Mariana & Carlos are awesome! This is the second time I ask them to take care of our pups and they were wonderful. They are reliable, kind and patient. Will use them every time!”
“Paula and her family were very accommodating, especially when my travel was delayed. Fast response when it came to communication. I received pictures daily, which was very nice and my pets came back looking great.”
“I always trust Guina with my dog- she is simply the best! Always has a great disposition and treats the pups with so much love and care. I highly recommend her!”
“I would definitely recommend Jennifer! She’s welcoming and loving. She sends pictures and keeps you up to date with your pet. She was amazing with my pup and I would recommend her to anyone !”
“Once more an absolutely wonderful experience! Monica & Alonso are the best! Ginger had an amazing time and was super happy when we picked her up. Grateful for all the love and care she received ❤️”
“We chose Natali as our pet-sitter for our yorkie Brownie based on what we saw during a greet and meet appointment in her house. Brownie is a senior dog that requires special care, especially as he is very picky to eat. Natali has a great and ample space well prepared to take care of your beloved pets. Her house has a terrace overlooking a lake that accommodates very well the pets. Natali did a great job taking care of Brownie. She regularly shared photos and messages on how Brownie was doing and how he was behaving. Very important for us, Natali made sure Brownie ate all his meals. We highly recommend Natali for your pet-sitting needs either for day care or prolong boarding needs.”
“Mayra was excellent with our puppy Max. He came home so happy!! She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Kept us informed about his food and outdoor walks. Highly recommend if you considering a sitter.”
“This was a perfect fit for our furry boy. The meet and greet went very well, he did not want to leave. This was his first overnight with Mirta and her husband. They were very loving and hospitable and took great care of Ozzy. We received pictures and he had a good time playing with JJ. Location was perfect for us, and we'll def be back! Thank you Mirta.”
“I always feel comfortable bringing my fur baby back to Andrea. She’s amazing, takes great care of him and keeps me posted on everything. Very reliable and great communication. Highly recommend her.”

Natali once again took great care of my dog Brownie José. We received daily messages stating how Brownie was, how he slept and how he was behaving in general. More important, Natali made sure that Brownie José had eaten all his food. She took Brownie for regular walks, something my dog really enjoys. Thanks Natali for such a great care you took of our dog. We certainly consider you for our future pet-sitting needs.
First time leaving my Yorkie with Carolina. Needless to say I was so so worried but Carolina was excellent. She provided updates and photos Every day several times a day; First thing in the morning, and in the evenings as well as throughout the day. Chloe was super well taken care of, and she gave her so Much Love Period. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her.
From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, loving, and attentive to my pets. She gave me so much peace of mind knowing my babies were in such wonderful hands while I was away. 🩷 You can genuinely tell how much she loves animals. She doesn’t just take care of them; she treats them with so much love and affection, as if they were her own. And as a pet parent, that means absolutely everything to me. 🥹 Her communication was excellent, and she made me feel completely comfortable and reassured throughout my entire trip. Finding someone you can fully trust with your pets isn’t easy, and I feel so lucky to have found her. Choosing Myriam was hands down the best decision I could have made! I would recommend her a thousand times over and will absolutely be booking with her again whenever I need someone to look after my babies. Thank you so much, Myriam, for loving and caring for them the way you did. You truly went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 💕
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yoadi and her family were absolutely amazing with Benji! 🥹🐾 I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such loving and caring hands while I was away. They treated him like part of their own family, kept me updated, and I could tell Benji felt right at home with them. 💕 I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave him. I would 100% trust them with my baby again. Thank you so much, Yoadi & family! 🫶🏽🐶
Rocio was completely AWESOME with my dog, Brooklyn. My wife and I were shocked when Brooklyn, who had never stood with someone other than family took to Rocio as if she were family herself. Not only was she friendly from the very first time we met her, but she understood all my wife’s fears, so Rocio sent updates about Brooklyn to ease my wife’s mind as we were on vacation, and both pick up & drop off went without a hitch. Rocio and her husband both treated Brooklyn like family and I will not hesitate to book her again. You will not go wrong if you book with Rocio.
Our whippet, Nikita, has stayed with Angela a few times now and they’ve all been a wonderful experience! Nikita is always so excited and happy to see Angela, she feels right at home when she’s dropped off. Angela takes such great care of Nikita and lets us know how she’s doing during our stay. We feel comfortable having our pup stay with Angela and know she’s getting all the love and care.
Sara took exceptional care of my dog from start to finish. She was incredibly thorough in learning every detail about his routine, habits, and preferences, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated daily with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. When I picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and well cared for. Even better, he settled right back into his normal routine at home as if nothing had changed, which says a lot about the care and attention he received. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I would gladly trust her with my dog again in the future.

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.
95% of sitters in University Park 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 University Park 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 University Park.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 University Park 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 FL 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.
