“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”

About: Been dog sitting and cat sitting for many years now for some family and friend’s whenever they’re out of town. So fairly comfortable with various breeds and all sizes of animals. Also happy to say that I am a doggie dad for my very own bulldog named Luna. She is 11 years old though everyone always tells me she looks younger. Shes very well taken care of and very loved, one would say that’s the best remedy for age. We usually take a hike in the mornings, and when she was younger used to go on runs. Oh I also love all animals though, and I would love to be of service to you. Well right now I’m currently in between things so I can be available at a moments notice no problem! Even on weekends and weekdays I can be available, overnight etc. As a dedicated dog sitter and walker, I understand the unique needs of your furry family member and how crucial it is to provide not only care but companionship in your absence. My services are designed to ensure that your dog remains happy, healthy, and engaged while you are away or busy.
“Deborah was great! My cat loved her and the photos and updates were so great to get while I was away. It was really reassuring to know that my cat was loved and taken care of by such a reliable and sweet person like Deborah. Will 100% be booking again with her.”

About: Hi, I’m Ari! ☺️ I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. I grew up loving and caring for all types of animals. My family owns a veterinary clinic in Puerto Rico, where I spent multiple summers assisting the team with vaccinations, blood transfusions, administering IV’s and surgery prep. I’ve also worked at multiple dog grooming and animal care facilities in the South Florida area giving me hands-on experience with pets of all kinds. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own, with lots of love, patience, attention, and care 🩷 I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your fur baby the attention and care they deserve! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2 PM. I’m also happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and other services around my schedule. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention! I have a fenced-in yard and a loving household where animals are truly considered family. My 15-year-old Yorkie was my best friend, and after giving her the happiest, most loving life I could, she passed away in March due to old age. She taught me so much about patience, companionship, and caring for an animal through every stage of life. I’ll treat your pet with that same love, patience, and attention while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home! I believe there’s something truly special about the unconditional love and loyalty animals give us.

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with our dog walker! They are reliable, caring, and always treat our dog with so much love and attention. We feel completely comfortable knowing our pup is in great hands. Communication is excellent, and we always come home to a happy, well-exercised dog. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve raised a Pomeranian and currently have a 4-year-old cockapoo, so I truly understand small dog personalities and needs. I've trained both the dogs myself to sit, paw, spin, and lay so I’m comfortable reading behavior and reinforcing positive habits. Hello! I am available to drop ins on weekends at anytime! I can dog walk/dog sit/cat sit anytime after 4:30pm on weekdays including late at night! As a dog owner who has raised and trained two puppies, I understand body language, proper leash handling, and how to prevent unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I am respectful of routines and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, crate use, and training consistency. I make sure doors and gates are always secured and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe environments.

About: I’ve taken care of friend’s and family’s pets for years when they’re away on vacation/travels. I pay attention to detail, meaning that I won’t just feed them and meet their basic needs; I will also share quality time with them so that they don’t feel alone, bored, or anxious while you’re gone. I’m a teacher, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pet now in the summer time. I’m very active and enjoy a good long walk, but I’m also very calm and focused. Your pet will feel like they have a companion while also having their needs met. I can easily follow directions in terms of what your pet needs to be safe in their home. Whether it’s getting them in a crate, walking around the neighborhood with their leash, playing outside if you have a patio, etc.
“Ruth was great! When we came home, everything had been done for Skiity. She made a point of communicating on a daily basis and letting us know that our cat was OK. I really appreciate Ruth’s dedication and responsibility.”

“Xiomara is the best!!! We are so lucky to have found her. She is so great with our cats, is thorough and caring, and is the best communicator. My wife and I have taken a number of trips over the past year, often on very short notice, and she has always been there to save the day! Having Xiomara gives us so much peace of mind. THANK YOU, ALWAYS!”

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life. In high school, I was part of a veterinary magnet program where I earned my CVA certification and got about two years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I spent around three years working in dog training as well. I’ve fostered both dogs and cats, which gave me experience helping animals with different personalities and needs adjust and feel comfortable. I have experience with pets of all different sizes and ages and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, basic training, and of course giving them plenty of attention and love. Having pets of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of them. I currently work part-time and am also in school, but I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care depending on what you and your pet need. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. I’m comfortable handling different personalities and needs, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while in my care. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: Hi! Let me take care of your family while you’re at work or on vacation. You can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. He/she will have lots of loving care. There is a lot of space for your pet to be inside or outside. I can send you pictures and updates of your pet to make you more at ease. I know it’s not easy leaving your loved one with a stranger but I will do my best to give you regular updates. I’ve always had dogs and I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for a long time. Let me take care of your pet and have peace of mind they’re in a pet loving home. They will be returned with a wagging tail.
“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.”

About: I have been doing sitting for 2 years. I am trusted by family friends and neighbors to walk, feed, and okay with their dogs. I have dog sat a variety of dogs ranging from big to small. Hello! I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and currently work full time as a teacher assistant. Outside of work, I dedicate most of my time to caring for my dog—she’s my constant companion, whether we’re running errands or visiting places like Disney World. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll provide your dog with the same level of care, attention, and respect that I give my own. I have a fenced backyard and live in a dog-friendly community. I also have two friendly dogs who love the company of other pups and help keep playtime active and engaging.

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.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for many years and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time from home, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care for your pets. I offer boarding in my home and can also provide drop-in visits based on my availability. Every pet is treated like family and receives plenty of love, attention, playtime, cuddles, and regular photo updates while you’re away. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable while staying in my home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and daily routines. My goal is to make every pet feel at home while giving owners peace of mind with regular updates and photos.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - University Park
Xiomara was amazing with my dogs! She kept me updated throughout their stay, sent me beautiful pictures, and my dogs always looked so happy and comfortable. When I got home, they were just as happy! I felt very comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely book with Xiomara again! ❤️

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!

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!

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 .

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.
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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
