About: Hi! I’m reliable, caring, and genuinely excited to meet and care for your pets! 🐾 In my previous city, I regularly volunteered at my local animal shelter, participating in Doggy Day Outs and Rescue Runners for dog walks! I loved getting to know all kinds of dogs and giving them some extra exercise, attention, and love. I don’t have a pup of my own just yet, but that means I’m especially excited to spoil yours! I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! ❤️ I’m still learning my day time work week schedule, but I expect to be available from 5:00-8:00AM and 4:00-9:30 PM with lots of flexibility with advanced notice. Weekends open! I’m very attentive to detail and always make sure to follow each pet’s individual routine and your specific instructions. Once I get to know your pet, I’ll remember their favorite treats, toys, and the little things that make them comfortable. I’m patient, calm, friendly, and attentive, and I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being while they’re in my care. 🐾
“Chaka is the best dog sitter. This is my first time ever using a service like this and she made things so easy with the process of getting to know my dog (K2) and me from start to finish. She's always going above and beyond and her care for my dog is level 1000% thank you Chaka!!!”
“Lynn was very helpful and efficient. When I had to extend she was flexible and came two extra days! She is a great sitter and I came back to happy and healthy kitty!”
“Ashanti stepped in at the last minute to help with my pup, and she was so easy to with despite the fact that this was our first time booking together! She responded quickly, ensured all was taken care of, and provided great feedback on the visit. Definitely recommend and will be booking with again in the future!”
“Tiffany was great! She arrived on time for both drop in visits and kept me updated throughout. Very responsive and reliable. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Thanks Tiffany :)”
“Kyle was amazing and went to check on Otis even on a super short notice. He was fast to respond and continued communication to make sure he didn’t miss anything to give me peace of mind. Otis was well taken care of with Kyle.”
About: I’ve had the joy of caring for animals for many years, including pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I had a dog of my own for 14 years, which gave me extensive hands-on experience caring for a pet throughout every stage of life, including the additional patience and attention that senior pets require. I also have experience administering medications and providing more involved senior-pet care. I administered subcutaneous fluids to my own dog every day for two years, so I understand how important it is to carefully follow an established care routine and pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs. While I’ve never had a cat of my own, I’ve cared for several cats belonging to friends and family and have always loved their unique personalities. Whether I’m caring for a puppy, a high-energy dog, a senior pet, or a cat who needs some time to warm up, I take the time to understand each animal and provide consistent, attentive care. My schedule is flexible for the rest of the month. Starting Aug 31st, my availability will be limited to Tuesdays from 12:30 PM to 6:00 PM, and all day Friday-Sunday. I’m also available for overnight house sitting. My schedule allows me to be present and engaged with the pets in my care rather than simply stopping by when I have a free moment. I’m happy to work with each pet’s established routine, whether that means walks, playtime, meals, medication, or simply providing companionship and a calm presence. I understand that consistency is especially important for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines as closely as possible. My approach is centered on consistency as I know how important routines are for our pets. I prioritize following each pet’s routine carefully, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, bathroom breaks, medication, play, and companionship while giving your pet plenty of individual attention. For house sitting, I’m comfortable staying overnight in your home and maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. For doggy daycare, dogs stay with me at my apartment, which is located in a complex with plenty of outdoor space for walks and bathroom breaks. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, high-energy dogs, senior dogs, and dogs who prefer not to interact with other dogs. I’ll always take your dog’s temperament and individual needs into account. I’m also experienced with administering medications and have experience with more involved care from caring for my own senior dog. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and care instructions ahead of time so that we’re all on the same page. Above all, I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust. I’ll treat your pet, your home, and your instructions with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
“Adriene was fantastic, very communicative. sent me many pictures, she was able to give medicine to one of my cats and my cats loved her! I will have her looking at my cats in November again. Strong recommend her!”
“Here’s a polished Rover review: Emily was a great help with my girls. She arrived on time, was communicative, and even turned around to provide additional help when we needed it. My boyfriend’s plans changed unexpectedly, and she was incredibly flexible with her schedule. She spent quality time playing with the girls and kept us updated by sending videos throughout her visit. We really appreciated her reliability, kindness, and willingness to go above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend her and would book with her again!”
“Allison was awesome! She was very prompt, communicative, and easy to work with. She took great care of our German Shepherd pup while we were out for a couple of days. Would definitely have her watch him again!”
“Catherine is so sweet. She did a great job caring for my babies. She also brought in packages and broke down a box for me. Definitely went above and beyond!”
“Jane was great with my cat and sent prompt responses to all of my messages. She gave helpful updates and sent photos and videos, which was appreciated. She was patient with my girl, who is very shy with new people :) thank you, Jane!!”
“Brittany and Tadas were great! Came on time and frequently sent updates. They asked if there was anything in particular they needed to know to care for Monty and were wonderful with how shy he can be with new people.”

Emma was great! Our kitty boys really warmed up to her. As soon as I was going to ask about pics, she provided a dozen great pics without asking. Our kitties looked so happy over the 3 days Emma checked on them. I would 100% recommend and we'll use Emma again. It was our first time using Rover and we found our person 🐾 ❤️
Jocelyn did great with a drop-in visit for my fur-buddy Cat! We had a meet and greet prior to my travel to which my cat, who is typically shy to new people, was curious to see a new friend. Jocelyn helped me by stopping by to give my cat some company for an hour, cleaned his areas, replenished food&water, and provided a friend for my lonely buddy while I was away. Would book with Jocelyn again in a heartbeat! Kind, responsible, punctual and trustworthy.
Trynne was so wonderful! This was my first rover booking; the last two times I’ve gone out of town my cat was so upset he peed on my bed, so I was desperate to avoid that this time. I really appreciated that Trynne asked for an initial meet and greet to meet Ziggy and go over where everything is. Ziggy can be a very shy cat at first and I was honestly expecting him to take longer to warm up to her, but Trynne had him eating out of the palm of her hand (literally) like two visits in. She found great ways to entertain him and keep him stimulated, and she wrote excellent report cards and took lots of great photos that I looked forward to receiving every day. When I arrived home, things were honestly cleaner than I left them and Ziggy was totally chill! Will definitely book again in the future :)
Sasha was fabulous!! She was great with our French bulldog, Eloise! Truly!! Eloise had had a traumatic experience with another pet sitter (not a Rover sitter) and Sasha swept in and saved the day. Eloise loved her from the first minute! Sasha really understands dogs temperaments and is smart!! We will definitely use Sasha again!!
Kelsey was so wonderful with our pets!! She walked into a difficult situation on a rescue mission after a negligent pet sitting service (not Rover). It took a while for Eloise, our French bulldog, to warm up to Kelsey due to the previous bad experience but Kelsey never gave up and she and Eloise became friends quickly. Kelsey was kind, caring, competent and attentive. We will be using Kelsey again for sure!
Aztrid is seriously the best sitter out there. We have worked with her on multiple occasions and she remains consistent, reliable, and trustworthy. Aztrid gives us awesome updates about our cats and even went as far as cleaning our cats throw up the most recent time without asking. Book with her and you won’t be disappointed!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in University Park on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,208 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

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.
