“Gigi and Dakota had never been without us before. Everywhere we go, they came with us. Unfortunately, this time they could not. We were recommended Rover.com by a friend and we are so glad we listened. They spent three days with Anna and they had a good time. Anna kept us informed by way of pictures and we saw that our little ones were happy. Thank you Anna for being such a great host to our extended family. We will once again ask for your help in the future. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone needing help with their family.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. My family, neighbors and friends have always relied on me to make sure their furry friends are cared for and safe. I have been around dogs and cats all my life and can handle pretty much anything that comes my way! I am a student athlete at NMSU. I practice in the morning but check in every 1-2 hours to make sure all pets are safe and well. I am completely back at my apartment no matter than 4pm and make sure to take pets on a walk or find any active for at least 60 minutes. I always have a full bowl of water readily available for animals. I have plenty of toys and area for the animals to relax and lay down. I make sure all wires and kitchen appliances are kept far away and out of reach so no accidents happen!
“Rebooked again with Isabel. She does a wonderful job taking care of Lola. She keeps us updated and sends pictures. We will continue to trust Isabel with boarding. Thank you Isabel for providing us with a worry free getaway.”

About: As a proud dog mom to two Goldendoodles, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can feel at home. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. My husband and I have a fenced yard, and we know how to create a calm, pet-friendly environment. I also enjoy taking active dogs on walks or runs (if approved by you) and making sure they get plenty of mental stimulation and affection throughout the day. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work from home two days a week, and I have the flexibility to adjust those days to match your pet’s needs whenever possible. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends, making it easy to accommodate overnight stays or weekend getaways. Whether your dog needs a quiet place to relax or an active day filled with walks and play, I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs are treated like family. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special routines to help your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I believe every dog is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. Whether they enjoy playtime, long walks, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

She always does an amazing job watching Pax and he loves her! I was worried leaving him over the Fourth of July because of the fireworks but she made sure to give him his calming peanut butter and and do what she could to keep him calm. I got pictures everyday and she communicated what they were up to.
Diana is amazing!!! Words cant express how amazing she is with our bulldog. We have used her many times and wouldn’t look any where else. When we leave our dog who we consider another child with her, we have peace knowing she’s being well taken care of. She sends a lot of pictures through the sitting and our dog is having so much fun. With her you can be assured your animal is in great care!!
I appreciate that Alejandra was available and willing to take care of my baby for a whole week with just a one week notice. She is personable and flexible, making the intro visit a breeze. She knows how to handle meds, which is a big deal for me since my baby needs different meds twice daily. She seems to love and pamper doggies- my baby was barking at me from Alejandra's bed when I went to pick her up.... TRAICIONERA! I would definitely use Alejandra again if available.
Colt had a very good experience with Shantel. She looked happy in the photos that Shantel sent me. Shantel was flexible with Colt while she was at her house. And also with me when I had to make arrangements to pick her up and drop her off, thank you very much for your services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in University Park is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 98 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across University Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in University Park can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their University Park home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your University Park.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your University Park sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 NM ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
