About: I've taken care of a variety of different dogs ranging from size, breed and personality. It brings me great joy spending time with dogs making it a pleasure to take care of them.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for pets for family friends and friends for around 3 years and have also helped foster animals with my family over the years. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’m always happy to lend a helping paw 🐾 and treat your pet like one of my own! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I only have school two days a week and work mornings five days a week for about 5–6 hours, which leaves me plenty of time during the second half of the day to give pets the attention and care they need. I start my mornings early by walking and feeding my dog and making sure he’s comfortable and taken care of before I head out. After work, usually around 4 or 5, I spend more time with him, including another walk and making sure he stays happy and active. I also do a final walk later at night around 10 or 11. Since I spend a lot of time at home and in my apartment, caring for animals fits really well into my schedule, and I’d be happy to make your pet part of that routine too I treat pets like family and believe they deserve love, patience, and genuine care. To me, animals are more than just pets, they’re living creatures with their own personalities, feelings, and things that bring them happiness, whether that’s a favorite toy, a walk, or simply spending time with someone they trust. I make sure pets are cared for responsibly by giving them the right amount of food, keeping up with exercise and playtime, and paying attention to what helps them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind too

I'm especially good with nervous or anxious pets and take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

In my home, they get plenty of love, playtime, and safe access to the yard, with routines like meals, walks, and rest followed closely. I make sure nervous or shy pets feel calm and comfortable, and I’m always nearby to supervise and give extra affection when needed. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully, keep your space tidy, and provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy, safe, and loved.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - University Park
Priscilla accommodated a last-minute request, which we were incredibly appreciative of. Our Casper was so well taken care of she was extremely punctual, attentive to his needs, and so loving and patient with him. She spent quality time with him, and you could truly tell he enjoyed her company. We greatly appreciated the care she provided, as well as how respectful she was of our home. She was very responsive throughout the entire experience and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She was amazing, and we highly recommend her! We are thankful we found her!
Kristel was absolutely wonderful with my dog Pepper! Pepper can be quite stubborn and is usually hesitant around new people, but Kristel’s patience and genuine care completely won her over. From the very beginning, Kristel showered Pepper with love and attention, taking time to let her warm up and always making sure she felt comfortable. I received regular updates and adorable photos, and it was clear that Pepper was relaxed, happy, and truly in the best hands. When I returned home, Pepper was her usual cheerful self, maybe even a bit better behaved! I’m so grateful for Kristel’s dedication and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for your pup as much as you do! Thank you, Kristel, for taking such amazing care of Pepper!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 University Park 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in University Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
