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 on sabbatical, so my availability is pretty flexible nowadays. 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.
About: When I was five my parents gave my brothers and I a puppy for christmas and named him Sparky, this year he turns 16! Growing up I have always loved animals of all shapes and sizes and would love to love your furbaby. I have taught Sparky plenty of tricks and enjoy the bonding it builds. I have petsat for plenty of my friends and have always enjoyed it. Not only do I have 15+ years of experience with dogs but I also have years of experience with cats! I have my own cat named Cleo and she turned 2 this year. I am currently working part time as a Registered Behavior Technician. I will have plenty of time before and after sessions to play and care for your furbabies. I also have weekends off! I will always ensure your pet is safe and cared for. I am super respectful of other people’s homes and belongings and will treat your furbaby as my own.
“Jaclyn was great with our fur babies!! Our animals loved her from the first meet and greet to the last day she was with them! We felt so comfortable with Jaclyn in our home. We will definitely use Jaclyn again!!”
“Rachel did a great job with my three cats while I was out of town. I scheduled drop in visits and she was always prompt and communicated during and after the visit. I came home to find my cats well fed and happy as well as having clean litter boxes. I highly recommend Rachel.”
About: I have this special connection with dogs/puppies… they win my heart as I win there’s in no time. From puppies to sick pups, I’ve had experience with all types and just love it. During the weekdays I’d be available after 4pm and on weekends my schedule is open to any time. What better way to make extra cash with something I absolutely love and enjoy! My yard is fenced and I keep my pup tenants uncrated, unless requested by pet owner… I allow them to cuddle with me on my couch, lap, and or bed. They would be the king or queen of the house during there stay.
“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: 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.
“The best experience! This was the first time our dog and two cats stayed at home during our vacation. And I’m happy to report because of Jennifer the experience was 100% enjoyable and stress-free. Many pics at every drop-in, reports regarding their food, bathroom breaks and activities! Extremely communicative and reliable. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and I also worked in a daycare/boarding facility for about 1.5 years. I’ve had experience with all sizes, different breeds, seniors, aggression, puppies, and special needs. I’m currently a student at FIU, and my last class of the day ends at 3 (excluding Tuesdays and Thursdays). Any time on weekends or past 3 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays would work for me! Reach out to find a time at works for you, me, and your furry pals! I pay lots of attention to detail. If I see there’s something dangerous or that your pet shouldn’t have, I will move it out of their reach. One of my own dogs loves to try to break into garbage cans, so I have lots of practice with this! Also if you have more than one pet, I have plenty experience breaking up fights. I also can take pics and videos of your pets (no extra charge) so you can see how they’re doing!
About: I have had pets in my home my whole life until my dog recently passed away. I was reluctant of letting in another because I didn’t want to go through the grief all over again. Recently, I have had a feeling to help out as many animals as I can. Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy it happened!!! I want to give these babies love and support no matter the cost. I do this by volunteering at the shelter, and hopefully being able to take care of your pets through Rover!!! I am available whenever needed! I am a full time student with a flexible schedule. I will work around the times that fit your needs. I take dogs out for walks, babysit, and take them on day trips to stimulate themselves. I know bigger dogs especially get stressed out so I like to get them moving. I have toys available and a big land for them to play.
“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!”
“Absolutely fantastic! Deborah took care of our kitties like they were her own (and even brought in our packages, which was so nice!) while we were traveling. We will absolutely be asking her to watch our cats again!”
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.

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in University Park on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 September 2026, there are 5,598 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.
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.
