“Alejandro is a wonderful sitter. He was the perfect companion for our timid, finicky miss Maddie. Maddie has a tough time eating and Alejandro was patient and worked with her to make her comfortable enough to eat. He sent wonderful pictures and communicated well while we were away. We we sure she was in good hands and enjoyed our vacation worry free. She was in great spirits when we picked her up and we could tell she enjoyed her stay. We will definitely contact Alejandro again whenever we need a sitter.”
“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”
“Rodrigo did a great job taking care of my sweet Frenchie, Bella. He sent me daily pictures and made sure to listen carefully to my care instructions. His own dog, Luna, was a great playmate to Bella and she came home happy and exhausted. I'd definitely use Rodrigo again!”
“5 ⭐️'s isn't enough. Bria has gone above and beyond with customer service, availability, and understanding all while caring for Jarvis 🐕. Thank you a million times over for being a great host to Jarvis and looking forward to working with you again.”
“Fantastic service, will book again! Really appreciate the excellent care and communication, and the kindness and flexibility when I needed to extend my booking because my travel schedule changed. Felt assured that my cats were safely integrated into a new temporary family and well taken care of while I was away.”
“Dylan is fantastic! We booked him to watch our dog Bruno, and he went above and beyond from the very start. He was kind enough to set up a meet-and-greet a few days before our booking, which immediately gave us so much peace of mind and helped Bruno feel comfortable with him. During the stay, Dylan kept us completely updated every single morning with a detailed report of Bruno's behavior and daily routine. The photos he sent showed Bruno looking so relaxed and happy. Dylan is incredibly flexible, a great communicator, and always quick to respond to messages. I couldn't be happier knowing Bruno was in such wonderful company. I recommend Dylan 100%!”
“Paula was an amazing sitter. From comforting me when my pup was acting out of character, to providing excellent care and attention to my pup during his stay. She provided detailed updates complete with pictures and videos. Definitely stumbled on a gem of a sitter with Paula.”
“The entire stay was smooth and enjoyable. Chloe made sure to update me during zula’s stay by sending videos and pictures. Drop off and pick up both also went smoothly. Definitely recommend this stay!”
“This was my second time leaving my rescue dog, Tao, with Rouday, and both experiences have been great. He was understanding of Tao's occasional timidity after being bounced between multiple shelters as a puppy. I also appreciate that he makes dog sitting a family affair, which has been great for Tao's socialization. I'd definitely recommend Rouday to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
“Brian and Sheena were so awesome with my lil fur baby! They sent lots of pictures and kept me abreast of my dog’s status. This was her first stay with them and we look forward to many more stays with this wonderful duo. Trellis”
“Caitlin took care of my small dog at her house when I took an overnight trip away. she sent so many pictures and videos of my dog. having fun, cuddling with her in bed, playing and taking lots of walks! My dog was of course happy to see me when I got home, but I think she misses Caitlin already! I would very strongly recommend. Caitlin as a dog sitter who will love and care for your dog as if they are her own!”
“Our pup stayed with Chad and his wife for two weeks while we visited family. It went absolutely smoothly with no issues. We will definitely reach out to Chad the next time we go away.”
“Twy had a great stay with them! I love that she gets to have a big backyard, several other animals to play with and plenty of walks. Never a dull moment for her - a true vacation for her. They are great with communication and photos/videos keeping us posted on how her stay is going. Will absolutely be asking them to keep Twy again soon.”
“Brittany was very communicative and prompt. Our pups had great experience and enjoyed their time with her. She's also very accommodating to take care our senior dog with some medical needs. Thank you and highly recommended.”
“Francis had a great time. Austin and Majid were extremely flexible and great at communication. We will definitely be looking to use them again. Thanks!”
“Jenna was an absolutely fantastic Rover choice for my dog. She was exceptional at caring for her and was superb at letting me know how my dog was doing throughout the time she was with Jenna. If you are able to book with Jenna as an option, then you will be more than happy with the choice.”
“Ayla provided a safe and loving environment for our puppy. She kept us updated about how things were going and was very responsive to all of our questions and instructions. She was calm even when our puppy was over excited with her pup and when he cried as we left him. He seemed very happy when we picked him up.”
“Caleb was a perfect sitter. He was flexible and communicative and made sure my dog was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Already booked for another stay, highly recommend.”
“We truly appreciate Kamille and the Krew, for welcoming Slick into their home and taking great care of him while we were away. We missed our guy a bunch and are always apprehensive when leaving him with a new person, but Kamille’s consistent communication, and videos of Slick eating, getting out for walks and trips to the park, and playing with his new dog friends made us feel at ease. Slick’s clearly was well taken care of and we will be reaching out to Kamille again in the future!”

Ari and her mom (in lieu of Ame who was away at the time) were amazing at hosting Opal for our week away from home. We had a lovely meet and greet, and got to see where she would be staying and playing with other pups. Ari and her mom sent plenty of updates, photos and videos, which gave us a lot of reassurance that Opal was having a wonderful time. We’re already planning the next time we would like to have Ari sit for Opal!
I highly recommend Thalia as a pet sitter. Our dog had her first pet-sitting experience with Thalia and it was a great success. Thalia is kind and easy to communicate with. Our dog was very comfortable with Thalia. I was very stressed leaving our dog for the first time and Thalia made our separation stress-free. Thank you!
Paula is AWESOME!! She always takes such good care of my dog, Duchess. She’s responsive, provides updates, and is attentive to care notes. She’s my favorite sitter! I always have peace of mind when she cares for Duchess…and Duchess is alwaysssss happy when she sees Paula and her family. Highly recommend!!!
Javien was fantastic with both of my pups!!! He communicated daily, made adjustments when I forgot to drop off one of my pups anxiety Rx and kept my pups happy. First, he took my last minute request like 24 hours before my last minute family trip. Then, he was just awesome the entire time. I couldn't ask for anything more than that to be honest. He kept my babies safe, smiling & even when he took another pup in he did a gradual introduction to each other and made sure he kept my 1 pup with slight food aggression away for the others while eating. I will use him again!
We had a great first experience with Rouday, he looked after our two girls for two weeks while we went away. The dogs had a great time and seemed liked they were very well looked after. Great communication with Rouday throughout. Thank you for looking after our girls. Would definitely use again
I used Danny to watch my dog for a last minute emergency work trip. I had reached out about 48 hours before my trip and Danny graciously accepted to watch her for a week. I had never used him before and was nervous since I never got a chance to do a meet and greet before the stay. I could not be happier with him watching my dog. Danny was very respectful and provided pictures, updates, plenty of walks, and followed the instructions I provided. I would definitely use him again if he is available.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in University Park on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 8,278 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in University Park. About 91% of University Park sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
