About: I’ve raised dogs my whole life and will treat yours like my own. From home cooked meals to medications and personalized care, I respect each dog’s needs, follow instructions meticulously, and send plenty of photo and text updates. Your pup will enjoy exercise, attention, and affection all day; feeling safe, happy, and truly spoiled. I work remotely full time, so your pup enjoys all day company, walks, cuddles, and supervision. Never lonely, always spoiled, from sunrise to bed time. I read canine body language, respect individual needs, reward positive behaviors, give breaks, provide exercise, cook special meals, and create a safe, happy space for every single pup.

We'll be happy to have her back again.”

University Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Paige did a great job with my cat — he unexpectedly had to go to the vet the morning of the sitting so his eye had to be monitored and he needed meds mixed into his food, but she adapted to the situation very quickly and kept him great company while I was gone!
Joe is the absolute best! He takes amazing care of our dear cat, Stormy. He’s impeccably thorough and detailed. We adore the beautiful and professional-quality photos he takes of our precious angel. We don’t worry about anything and he allows us the opportunity to see family and friends away. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Ben & Jeff
We’re so thankful to have Rebecca as our trusted sitter to give us peace of mind while we are away! She does an amazing job of following our cat’s lead. He was nervous this weekend because he’s not fully used to our new place, but we came home to a very happy boy. Thank you so much as always, Rebecca!!
Lydia is absolutely amazing. i had an emergency that took me out of town and my very skittish kitty has never interacted with strangers…until Lydia came along! she really came through for me and she bonded so well with Tim Riggins (my cat, not the TV character 🙃). i got a ton of photos and i could tell my cat was having the time of her life! i highly recommend Lydia and will absolutely use her services in the future (she IS my cat’s new best friend after all!).
