“Sam sent a note that she would be early to our place which demonstrated a facet of her exceptional communication skills. She is an excellent listener as my wife and I provided an overview and asked the right questions to get the right answers. Sam bonded extremely sell with Athena, playing on the terrace, taking her out for breaks and relaxing on the couch! Sam will be supporting overnights for us during an upcoming trip. Highly recommend Sam to help take excellent care of your dog!”


About: I am a current 4th year medical student and prior pet owner looking to help take care for, walk, or simply check in on your beloved pet. Given my free time now this year, pet care fits into my schedule in whatever capacity my clients need me. I would love to walk your pet but am also open to going over for feedings if your out of town or simply checking in on them in an emergency. I am most comfortable in walking, light cleaning, feedings, as well as house sitting or having your beloved pet over at my house while you are out of town.
“Bella is a very caring and responsible dog sitter. We have a 15 year old dog that requires lots of attention and Bella did an amazing job with her. Our dog was really happy and well-cared for. She was very communicative and had great attention to detail. She treated our home with respect and left it like she found it. It’s a great peace of mind for us to know that our baby was in good hands. We will definitely be calling Bella again.”


“Mia is a very sweet and communicative young lady. She took great care of my dog Loki providing pictures and videos of every walk and made sure she played with him each day. I plan on using her services again.”

“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my Rover booking on very short notice, just a few days before the service, which immediately gave me so much relief. From the start, she was communicative, professional, trustworthy, and incredibly reliable. She took such great care of my pups and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when I returned home. It was obvious they felt comfortable with her, and they warmed up to her right away — which says everything. Not only were my dogs happy, but my home was also left very tidy and well cared for. Stephanie truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive sitter. I would absolutely book with her again!”


About: I grew up with dogs and have been around animals my whole life. Since 2023, I've volunteered at the Doral Pet Adoption and Protection Center, where I walk dogs, feed and groom animals, clean kennels, and give animals the love they deserve. Working at a shelter means I've dealt with all kinds of animals of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, so I'm comfortable handling pretty much any situation. I also care for cats regularly and know that they require just as much attention as dogs, just on their own terms. I genuinely love what I do, and rest assured that your pet will be well taken care of. I'm currently doing online school, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am generally available most days of the week. If something comes up that affects my availability, I'll always give you a heads up in advance so you're never caught off guard. Since I come to your home rather than board pets at mine, your pet stays in their own space where they're most comfortable. I'll follow your routines, keep everything secure, and check in with you regularly.
“Raquel took good care of our doggies and kept them happy. She was very accommodating to our schedule and instructions. We appreciated the cute photos and updates she sent of our babies. We will definitely use her services again.”

“Marcela has been great - always there when I need her, knowledgeable and capable of handling dogs, and very responsive. She listens and is respectful, grateful, and flexible. Thank you 🙏”

“I cannot say enough good things about Autumn. She is by far the best sitter I’ve ever used, she is genuinely a sweet and kind person who truly cares about my dogs, I even have a Malinois and she made sure that he got enough exercise, and I could tell how much the dogs liked her which made me feel so good about leaving them with her. She spent so much time with them, so it was more than just house sitting, she actually spent time with the dogs, played with them and I never felt worried the entire time I was gone. So lucky to have found her! 100% recommend if you want to be stress free about your pets while you travel.”

About: I have been caring for all animals (dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, gerbils, fish, etc) since I was a young child. I have experience in administering medication to dogs and cats, and I have knowledge in assisting elderly animals I currently make my own schedule so I am flexible for your animals’ needs! I am open to one time jobs and routine care- whatever you and your fur-baby’s needs are! I am respectful of clients’ spaces. I will follow your explicit directions to care for your loved ones and your home. I will also help tidy up animal messes and watch over them as my own!

“Azucena (Zu) took such great care of Titi over the weekend! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Titi was in good hands. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated with pictures and videos, and showed so much love and attention to Titi, especially important since she’s a senior dog. We could tell Titi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Zu went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated her communication and kindness. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. Thank you so much, Zu! ❤️”

“Maddie was amazing! Incredibly flexible and understanding, I went away for several days and had zero worries thanks to Maddie. My dog has some health concerns which Maddie handled perfectly. Could not recommend someone more to trust both in your home and with your pet.”
About: I recently graduated from FIU and have always loved being around animals. I grew up with two family dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I also previously worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and reliable, and I genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, overnight care, and keeping up with specific routines your pet may need. I’m also very communicative and make sure owners get regular updates and photos throughout the stay so they always know their pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available for weekdays, weekends, mornings, evenings, and last minute bookings when needed. I have the time to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day, and I’m happy to work around different routines and schedules to make things easy and stress free for both pets and owners. When I care for pets in their own home, I’ll stick to your usual routine so your pet feels comfortable and safe. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure and keep an eye out for anything that could be unsafe. I’ll keep things tidy and make sure your pet has fresh water, playtime, and attention. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home and your pet with respect ;)

About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my entire life and have a genuine love for all pets. While growing up in Peru, I rescued numerous abandoned dogs and cats, helping them recover by providing care, food, and lots of affection until they regained their health. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, dedication, and paying close attention to the individual needs of each animal. Since moving to the United States, I have cared for two dogs and one cat, providing them with a life filled with love, comfort, and attention. My most recent dog had a disability and required daily medication, a special diet, and additional care. Through this experience, I learned the importance of maintaining routines, administering medications properly, and being attentive to any special needs a pet may have. I strive to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I am responsible, caring, and highly observant of their physical and emotional needs. My priority is to ensure that your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding, ensuring that they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, and daily routines. I maintain a clean, safe, and calm environment, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they have fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection so they feel comfortable and happy.
University Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot say enough good things about Autumn. She is by far the best sitter I’ve ever used, she is genuinely a sweet and kind person who truly cares about my dogs, I even have a Malinois and she made sure that he got enough exercise, and I could tell how much the dogs liked her which made me feel so good about leaving them with her. She spent so much time with them, so it was more than just house sitting, she actually spent time with the dogs, played with them and I never felt worried the entire time I was gone. So lucky to have found her! 100% recommend if you want to be stress free about your pets while you travel.

Natalie was so great! We did a couple meet and greets as one of my babies is a little wary of new people. She was so patient and a dog whisper. Both my dogs took to her so fast. She was extremely communicative during our trip and sent lots of photos. She followed all our instructions perfectly and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. We would love to have her house sit for them again in the future

Amanda was amazing once again. She accepted a last-minute weekend request and took such great care of our two dogs. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and since this was her second time staying with them, they were clearly excited to see her again. What made this stay extra special was the personal touch—she left us a handwritten note and even an embroidered patch featuring both dogs. It was such a thoughtful surprise. We truly feel at ease knowing Amanda is with them, and we can’t wait to have her back again. Highly recommend!

I’m so grateful to Patty for stepping in last minute to house sit and take care of my American Bulldog, Pepper. She had boarded Pepper before, but this time I felt it would be better for Pepper to stay in her own home to avoid separation anxiety. Having someone she already knew and loved made all the difference. Patty was absolutely the right choice. I came home to a happy dog and a clean, well-cared-for home. It was such a relief to know everything was in good hands while I was away for work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Patty to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. She truly goes above and beyond.
Marcela was amazing with Vinny! So professional and helpful. After showing her around we left her with Vinny and she went above and beyond. She took him out multiple times, fed him, hung out on the couch with him and sent us pictures and updates throughout. We will definitely be working with Marcela again if she’ll have us!
