Carla was great. I tend to be one of those pet mothers that is very anxious about leaving my dog with others, or even alone for extensive periods of time. I felt at ease this time around and each check-in was in a timely manner. Overall great experience with Carla!

About: As a couple who shares a home and a deep love for animals, Devin and Precious bring a unique and heartfelt set of skills to pet sitting that truly sets us apart. Having both been raised around dogs from a young age and actively raising dogs together, we bring a lifetime of hands-on experience to every pet we care for. Beyond dogs, we also have experience with reptiles, making us comfortable and confident with a wide variety of animals. Living together means your pet is never left alone — they become a part of our home and our routine, receiving around-the-clock attention, love, and care. We are natural animal lovers and whisperers, which allows us to quickly build genuine connections with your furry friend and tune into their individual needs. One of the core philosophies we live by is positive reinforcement training through treats and healthy diets. This approach builds trust between pets and their owners, encourages great behavior, and supports overall health and wellness. Having experienced the heartbreak of losing our own beloved pups, we understand just how precious these animals are to you. That love and loss is exactly what drives us to show up for other pet owners and give their babies the attentive, compassionate care they deserve. Whether your household includes rambunctious puppies or beloved senior pets, we are fully equipped to provide expert, personalized care tailored to their unique needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in the most loving hands.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is not just a job for us — it’s a passion. As a couple who both work remotely full-time, we have the flexibility throughout the day to give your pet consistent attention, walks, feeding, and playtime without disruption to their routine. On weekends, we like to spend time outdoors going for walks and exploring new areas. This means we are more than happy to take your pet along with us and give them the exercise and socialization they need. You can trust that your pet's care is always a top priority for us, and we will make sure to provide the attention and love they need to thrive. Whether we are caring for pets in our home or yours, their safety and comfort are always our top priority. Our home is pet-friendly, and we treat every animal as if they were our own. In our home, we live in a spacious 3- story apartment that is very pet-friendly. Your furry friend will have plenty of room to roam around and play, and we will make sure they feel right at home with lots of love and attention. We are also located near multiple parks, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy some fresh air and exercise.

Mike was amazing with Scooby! He watched him for a couple of weeks and took great care of him the whole time. He was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and made sure we stayed updated every day by sending videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Scooby was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover 🙌🏽

Lilla was great for visiting with my two pups! She was flexible and quick to respond when I needed a sitter due to unexpected trip to attend a funeral. She communicated well and provided me pictures of her visits. She even cleaned up after one of my pups when she got sick in the house. I’d recommend her and will use her again. Thank you, Lilla, and sorry about the pup mess!

Coralie always goes above and beyond to make sure my cat is cared for. I was out of town for over a week on holiday, and she made it so easy and stress free with her care of my cat! She kept an eye on his skin allergies and made sure he was eating normally, and she even allowed me to FaceTime with him a little bit! I’m pretty sure she’s the most professional and kind pet sitter you could ever find. Thank you so much, Coral!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in University Park on Rover is $19.98 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 8,306 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across University Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in University Park. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
