“Raven took care of my small yorky who is in his golden years with such great care & attention. I can tell that she has a passion for this. The regular photo updates, walks, and even a complimentary bath was truly above and beyond. I will be using Raven again for future dog boarding. 100% recommend.”
“My boarding experience with Kelli was great, you can quickly tell she is an animal lover which put us at ease as we are fairly new to Rover. Her beagle Mack is a sweet, older dog who gets along well with other dogs. Kelli was quick to respond to texts/emails and sent several pics which was reassuring. The nice sized fenced yard where the dogs can play is a big positive. I will absolutely use Kelli again.”
“Melinda and Craig did an awesome job with a last minute boarding request over the weekend. My two large pups are super sweet but a lot to handle and she did an amazing job with both. From the moment they arrived I knew they’d be just fine with the multiple lounge spots, plethora of toys and large fenced in yard. She sent daily photos/updates which is always so appreciated. Will definitely book again. Thanks Melinda & Craig!”
“Couldn’t be happier with Jane and having her help me with my pup while I was out of town for work. Jane did an amazing job watching my pup, he came home happy and could tell she took great care of him. Thank you, Jane! Would highly recommend!”
“Jocelyn and her family took incredible care of our pup! She was very communicative and sent plenty updates to help us stay relaxed while away from our dog. She was also very helpful when travel plans changed - will definitely be taking our pup back to her again in the future!”
“I left my 2 boys (dog and cat) with Beverly for a week while my husband and I were out of town. They seemed very comfortable and got along well with Beverly and her family. We received updates when asked and really appreciated that she only watched one family at a time so I wasn’t worried that my anxious dog would be around other dogs he didn’t know.”
“Megan was fantastic with our dog, Charlie! He seemed to really enjoy his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Megan was responsive, attentive, and kept us updated with frequent photos of Charlie having a great time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We truly appreciate the great experience and hope to book with Megan again soon!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received! From the start, she was attentive, professional, and truly compassionate. She sent frequent photo updates, followed all of my care instructions, including food preferences and tips for managing my dog’s anxiety and remained open to any suggestions I had. My dog seemed so comfortable and happy during her stay, and I especially loved that she had a friendly companion to play with! The environment was clean, safe, and welcoming. It’s clear this sitter genuinely loves what she does. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Stella was great for Riley. In fact he is probably upset we picked him up as he got to go to dog park daily. Stella was accommodating as our flight got delayed and Riley had to spend an additional night. Will definitely see if Stella is available for the next time Riley needs cared for”
“Leo Loves Kim!!! She is such a great sitter for my little greedy ball of energy and attention lover!! I receive plenty of photos of him lounging around while being extremely comfortable in her space. Her home feels like vacation to him I think. Kim is the absolute best!!”
“Carla saved my trip by agreeing to watch Aspen at the very last minute after another sitter went MIA the morning of my flight. I’m so grateful for the flexibility and care she provided! I got photos of Aspen happy and comfortable every night.”
“Ashley took great care of my Maverick. I felt so comfortable because she gave me updates everyday and assured me that he was great! I appreciate her help SO much!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Cole take care of my two beloved pets, Stella and Sabrina, while I was away on vacation. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and attention that they received during their stay. From the moment I dropped them off, I could tell that the sitter was not only experienced, but genuinely cared about their well-being. She took the time to get to know both of my dogs, their personalities, and their specific needs. She even asked me about their routines, favorite toys, and any specific instructions I had for their care. Throughout their stay, I received regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell that they were having a great time, and were well taken care of. They even went on daily walks and had playtime, which made me happy to know they were getting exercise and fresh air. When I picked them up, they were happy and healthy, and I could tell that they had been well-loved and cared for. Overall, I would highly recommend Cole to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friends. She truly went above and beyond, and I could not have been happier with her service. Thank you for taking such great care of Stella and Sabrina!”
“Meghan and John took amazing care of Max! He had so much fun and they updated us with photos often. We so appreciate their love of pups and their kindness. We will definitely rebook!”
“I had a great experience with Paul this weekend! He took wonderful care of our dog Leo and kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was easy, and he was always very quick to respond. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him!”
“Cooper had an amazing stay with Annie! She sent pictures and videos multiple times a day and was very nice. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Poppy Darla loved spending her time with Lu and her pups while I was away. Poppy gets so excited whenever she arrives at their home, that she doesn’t even turn around to say bye to me! Which is very telling of how safe and happy she feels with them.”
“Outstanding communication, loved the photo + short update every evening. Matt & Tiffany's 2 labs provided companionship too. Highly recommended - and since Hugo is welcome back, will definitely book there again.”

Justin and Brent were fantastic! We are so grateful for the care they gave our pup, along with the stellar communication they maintained throughout. Their attentive updates made our trip much more enjoyable and stress-free. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!
I recently moved to Dallas and was anxious about finding someone I could trust to watch my fifteen year old dog, Easton. He doesn’t need much, but he can’t hear or see very well anymore, so he can fall easily, and that makes me nervous leaving him with anyone who isn’t attentive or experienced with older dogs. She was fantastic. She sent multiple updates and photos every single day, so I always knew exactly how he was doing and never had to worry. Easton got the royal treatment: she even cooked him boiled chicken and boiled salmon. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she watches ❤️ I will definitely be booking with her in the future. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, especially an older or special-needs animal, your animals will be in the best care possible with her. Couldn’t recommend more.
We had a great experience! She took amazing care of our girl and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Our pup came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with her again!🩷🩷
Tyler is absolutely the best! I needed help for nearly a full week due to business travel. Only 10 minutes after drop off, Tyler was sending pictures and videos showing how my pups were embracing their new temporary home. Throughout the week he sent more pictures and videos. He brought comfort and ease during my time out of town and showed genuine care and love for my two dogs. Tyler is, in short, fantastic.
JeNell was perfect from start to finish! My dog Axel usually freaks out when I leave him but he was so comfortable with her. JeNell kept me up to date with many pictures. I can tell he had a great time. The best part is that I had a delayed flight getting back home and so JeNell kept him a bit longer than expected without any hesitation. I would recommend JeNell any and everytime. I have several work trips coming up and will be rebooking!! Axel and I thank you SO MUCH!!
Patricia took great care of our dog while we were away. She sent me pictures everyday and I could tell they went on lots of walks and he was getting a lot of attention. She also has a sweet dog of her own so I know our pup was happy to make a friend. We will definitely use Patricia again.
Shawndreal was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our three dogs while we were away. She kept us updated throughout their stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear they were well cared for and loved. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter, and we would happily book with her again! 🐾🐾🐾
We had the absolute best experience with Chandler! From the moment we dropped Stella off, I knew she was in great hands. She came home completely worn out, happy, and clearly so loved. It was obvious she was treated like part of the family, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We can’t recommend her enough as she is one of the best dog sitters! Thank you for taking such incredible care of our girl. You’re truly the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in University Park on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,599 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of University Park sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which University Park landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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 TX 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.
