“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my dogs. She is super sweet and can tell she’s an animal lover. She was punctual and gave my dogs love and attention. Will be using her again!”
“Mara is amazing. She genuinely cares and goes the extra mile to make Bon Bon feel loved. Not sure it gets better than that. I do wonder if Bon Bon misses me anymore 😂”
“Priscilla was an absolute lifesaver! She came through for a last-minute booking and still made time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand to get to know my fur babies. She was attentive, kind, and followed all my instructions to a tee. Rocky and Mojo took to her right away and clearly loved their time with her. She also sent picture updates, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Both dogs behaved beautifully with her, which says a lot about the calm and trustworthy energy she brings. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future walks or pet sitting. Highly recommended!”
“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”
“Deborah provides peace of mind for both fur baby & parent. This was my 2nd time with Deborah & I rebooked her for extra time- so glad I did. I could see from the pet cam how attentive & caring she was during each extended visit. She made such a difference for my Ellie - easing her insecurities. Love the pics & detailed report cards she sends- communication is great. I highly recommend Deborah & will continue to rebook with her- Thank you so much”

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.
“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!”

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 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!

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.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since I got my first dog at 13. I have a special place for yorkies and poodles and have owned 2 cats in my life. I am currently a full time student at FIU so my routine for caring for pets is pretty open and tends to be between my class schedule. I live in a large 2 bed room apartment by myself which has a large terrace, ample streets to walk by and a very dog friendly community.

Pet 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!
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%.
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!
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! ☺️💓

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,592 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across University Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a University Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
