“Stacy was just what we needed for our dog. She welcomed him into her home and provided a safe, comfortable environment while we were away.

“Shuai took such good care my pup, Luz. It was her first time staying with him and he made sure she was comfortable for entire stay. She got a little bit of an anxious tummy and was able to keep me posted as she settled in. Thank you so much Shuai!”
“I cannot recommend Stella and her daughter enough! We live two hours away, but after seeing the care and professionalism they provided for our two dogs, I won't go anywhere else. My dogs absolutely loved them. We are already planning to bring them back for our next trip!”
“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!”

“Cairo and her husband, Philip were AMAZING with Murphy. To start, they accepted a very short notice sitting request and were flexible right away. Lots of pictures shared exercise given, and he was such a happy boy! Murphy can be a high energy handful as a puppy but they were so amazing. He was sad to come home and leave them and Luna! Murphy would LOVE to come stay again if needed. Thanks again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - University Park
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our sweet Layca! ❤️ This was our first time using Rover, so naturally we were a little nervous about leaving our baby with someone new, but Ashley made the whole experience so much easier. Layca can be a little anxious in unfamiliar places, and Ashley was incredibly patient, sweet, and understanding with her. She gave her the time and space she needed to feel comfortable, and it was so heartwarming to see Layca slowly come out of her shell and start trusting her! What we appreciated most was Ashley's amazing communication. She kept us updated throughout the day with tons of pictures, little stories, and details about how Layca was doing. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our girl was being so well cared for while we were away. She also took Layca on lots of nice, long walks on her trail. You can genuinely tell Ashley cares about the dogs she looks after and treats them with so much love and attention. We're so grateful for everything she did for Layca and would absolutely trust her with our baby again! Thank you so much, Ashley! ❤️🐾
My wife and I were extremely happy with how well Madison took care of our dog Ruby. Madison was amazing with Ruby while we were away for our wedding weekend. She sent constant updates with photos, so we never had to wonder how Ruby was doing, which meant we could actually relax and enjoy one of the biggest weekends of our lives. Ruby was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved her time with Madison. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking her again!
My pups, who are very attached to me (it's mutual), literally RUN into Justin and Brent's home with zero hesitation. The guys send TONS of photos. Which is exactly what I want as a nervous dog mom. When I come back to get them, the pups come running back out, super excited to see me but also you can tell they had a nice time-- AKA: They are happy, like kids coming home from a great time at sleep away camp. This is why we keep using Justin and Brent. The pups are safe and content and I love that.
Tristan was fantastic with Laffy during his 5-day stay! She was upfront and transparent from the very beginning, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Both drop-off and pick-up were completely seamless, and her communication was consistent and timely the entire time I was away. I really appreciated all the photos and updates she sent throughout the week. It was great seeing Laffy so well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Tristan again!
Laila was the absolute BEST. My 11-year old lab got extremely sick early on in his stay and Laila not only took him to the emergency vet but also 3 follow up appointments with his primary doctor until I could get home to him. She was super communicative and I knew he was in such good hands. I cannot say better things about Laila. Highly recommend!
My dogs had a long-term stay with Marquette while I was out of the country. I was worried leaving my dogs for 3 weeks but Marquette was super sweet and kept me updated on how they were doing and shared pictures and videos. My dogs can be a handful but seemed super happy and comfortable in her care. Marquette asked all the right questions to get to know how to best care for them. I would definitely book with her again if she’ll have them!
Stacy is an amazing sitter! My anxious pitbull mix can be picky sometimes but Mango was relaxed and had so much fun! Stacy kept me updated and sent pics everyday. Stacy is very easygoing and easy to talk to about scheduling and doggy needs. Will definitely be coming back to Stacy!
Jirah did an outstanding job boarding my high-energy, 8-month-old Australian Shepherd for two nights, and I'll absolutely be using her again. Boarding has always made me anxious, so I'm very selective about who watches my dogs, and I was especially nervous about leaving my young Aussie for the first time. Jirah put me at ease the moment I met her. She's an absolute delight, and I knew right away my pup was in good hands. Her own dog, Gilligan, is super friendly, and the two of them loved playing together. Jirah also had fun activities set up, like a ball pit my dog had a blast in. I got to see it all in the many videos she sent throughout the stay. When I came to pick her up, it was obvious how happy and comfortable she'd been. My dog clearly adored Jirah!

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.

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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in University Park. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
