“Marquette was the absolute best! I needed help taking care of my dog last minute and Marquette asked all the right questions before booking to make sure she understood my dogs needs and best way to take care. During the stay, she sent multiple pictures and videos (including slomo shots) and provided updates from neighborhood walks and her observations of Rumi as she explored new environments. All the updates helped me feel at ease. Will definitely be rebooking with her. I highly recommend booking Marquette!”
“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!”
“My dogs stayed with Jane last night for their time. She was so kind and helpful she offers pick up and take home to accommodate your schedule which was perfect for me. The dogs seemed good with her and the rest of the dogs in her home. She is sweet with the digs with a firm and motherly control. Thanks again”
“Megan was a great sitter! She was very professional and she spent lots of time with my pup. She sent me lots of pics and kept me updated with his activities daily. I will definitely be using her again when I need someone to watch Frank.”
“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. She also provided updates throughout our trip to assure us that he was acclimating so we could enjoy ourselves without worry. I recommend her highly and would not hesitate to book with her again.”
“Craig and Melinda are wonderful. I feel comfortable and confident that my little guy will be cared for well. Plenty of attention, activities and good communication. Thank you”
“This was my 2nd time to board Newman with Kelli, and just like the first time it was a great experience. Newman seems happy and comfortable going over there, and Kelli is very responsive and sends pics.”
“Zachary was wonderful. He really does love pets and it is obvious that he enjoys taking care of animals. He was very prompt responding to my request and did a fantastic job watching my dog. Zachary sent me pictures and updates regularly and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him. I will definitely be rebooking again.”
“Hei was amazing! She took such great care of Sock, taking him for walks and runs, and providing us with daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her, and will be using her again!”
“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!”
“Jocelyn is an awesome Rover. Her home is centrally located in Dallas and near a fenced dog park, which is perfect for play time even in the summer. She sent great pictures and updates both days, and communicating with her was super easy. Highly recommend her and hope to work with her again next time I need boarding!”
“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 were so amazing with my pup Nugget. They were very informative throughout the whole time Nugget was there and always cute and adorable pictures of him playing with the other pups. Nugget even became best friends with one of their pups Remi. I will definitely be booking with them again and more often.”
“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!”
“Lillian was absolutely amazing! She was flexible with our unpredictable schedule and she managed to get my high energy pup tired. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Carla was a fantastic find for our elderly dog, Ellie. She kept us updated with daily pictures and took excellent care of Ellie. We’ll definitely be using Carla again!”
“JeNell is an amazing Rover sitter. She kept me updated on my needy baby. He’s almost 15 and has been by my side forever. My plans fell through and JeNell graciously made me feel at ease. Her location is convenient near Love Field and it’s a main reason I booked with her. She’s caring and genuinely concerned for her boarders. When in Dallas I will definitely use JeNell again.”
“Summer was so sweet, and I felt confident that my girl was in great hands. She sent daily updates with a photo, and asked questions as necessary. My pup must have had fun because she immediately fell asleep when we got home!”

Cody did a wonderful job watching both my dogs for over a week while I was gone on vacation. He asked all the right questions before the drop off and he also sent as many pictures as I requested. I am very grateful for him and he has a lot of patience because one of my dogs is a big cry baby, thanks Cody!
Second time booking with Carl and Laufey, it was nothing but perfect once again. Constant communication and updates from pickup to drop-off, pictures and detailed feedback. They have made our trips and lives so much easier knowing our Sosa is in the best hands possible. They were extremely helpful with certain situations that arose, exactly what you would want in a caretaker. Super caring people who we trust and will continue to book with for any future stays.
Great experience with Simone! Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated all the pictures and updates throughout the stay. She was also very flexible and understanding when my flight was delayed, which made everything so much less stressful. I would definitely recommend her!
Marquette was a wonderful sitter. She provided thorough daily updates, along with plenty of pictures and videos of Lily. She understood that Lily needed time and a safe space to feel comfortable, and she was patient and attentive to her needs. Lily also tends to go on a kibble strike when I’m away, but Marquette made adjustments to ensure she was eating and well cared for. Lily came home happy and healthy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would book with Marquette again and highly recommend her to others.
Kelsey accepted a fairly short notice booking request and was amazing! She was very accommodating and gave regular check ins that made me feel very comfortable leaving my pup with a new friend! Her dog Taffy is also adorable and eager to play which makes it even better! We can’t wait to book with Kelsey again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in University Park on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,567 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.
95% 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.
