“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.”
“Zach took great care of my 2 elderly dogs. One needs regular medication and Zach was excellent in watching over him. I would absolutely board my pets with him again. Very attentive to questions and loved the constant photo updates he provided. 5 out 5 stars!”
“Melinda and Craig took great care of my handicapped corgi over the weekend. My girl, Daphne, is paralyzed from the waist down and requires special care. Melinda and Craig took the time to learn her needs and were able to make it a great weekend for her. I got regular photos and videos of Daphne having the time of her life. I’m so grateful Melinda and Craig were willing to take Daphne on and keep her for the weekend!”
“Carla was great! Super communicative and great about sharing updates, could tell she really loves and cares for dogs and Dolly looked like she had a blast! Will definitely use her again.”
“Katie and Peter were the best hosts for my dog while I was away! They were fantastic communicators, prompt in responding, and I can tell they were so compassionate towards my gal while I was gone. When I picked her up she was as happy as can be. I absolutely would book with them again!”
“Melissa and her family were so sweet and I could tell right away Quigley felt at home with them. It was comforting to know Quigley was well taken care of while I was away!”
“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!”
“Megan is amazing! This was my first time ever leaving my dog, Finn, with anyone besides family before and he had a great time! Megan kept me updated each day and sent the most adorable photos and videos!!! I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands!!! Megan is wonderful & highly recommend 😊”
“Malisa was reliable, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. I really appreciated the updates and photos while I was away. It was obvious Molly was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely book with Malisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“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.”
“Pamela was great with my dog, Tucker. She treated him like her own and I knew he had a great time. She sent wonderful photos and updated me throughout my trip so I was never worried. I highly recommend her as a sitter on Rover! We will be using her again :)”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Before I moved from my family I was a pet owner of two dogs myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications and am happy to follow any special care instructions to keep your pet on their regular routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give pet parents peace of mind through dependable, compassionate care. I’ve dog sat and cat sat before for friends, family and clients and have loved them all the same. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and can often accommodate different schedules and last-minute needs. I enjoy spending time with pets and love having the flexibility to make their care a regular part of my day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, I make sure to follow their individual routines and needs. In a client’s home, I keep their space clean and comfortable, follow feeding and walking schedules, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications when needed and will always keep owners updated with photos and messages.
“Jocelyn was hands down the best Rover experience I’ve ever had. From the moment I met her, I could immediately feel the warmth and care she would provide for my dog. She sent daily pictures and activity updates, and the level of attention and love she gave him went far above and beyond. My dog came home so happy — I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Sailor took exceptional care of Bruno. He returned so peaceful and content, which tells me he felt safe and comfortable with her. She’s attentive, detail‑oriented, and genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Highly recommend!!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in University Park is $40

Another great experience with David. Pepper is always so excited to visit with David when we are out of town. He spoils her like she was his own. David always sends us pictures and videos showing us all the fun Pepper is having and his communication with texts and email is outstanding. We highly recommend David to take care of your furry kids when you need someone to spoil them like you do.
We’re so grateful we found Jennifer and her wonderful family! ❤️ They treated Kai and Yuzu like their own. Even on their first stay, both pups felt so happy, relaxed, and right at home! 🥰 Jennifer was quick to respond, and communication was excellent. We couldn’t have asked for better care! We’ve already booked their next stay and highly recommend her family 🐾🧡 🐾
Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our sweet Belle! 🐾❤️ Attentive, loving, and incredibly responsible, she went above and beyond to ensure Belle felt comfortable and happy throughout her stay. We feel so fortunate to have found her! Amanda is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find—and every fur baby deserves. Belle gives her four paws up, and we wholeheartedly recommend her! 🐶
Megan is a lifesaver! From the moment we met her, we knew she was hands down the best sitter we had found in Dallas (and believe me, we tried daycare with so many different people!). After dealing with inconsistent updates, missing pictures, and sitters who claimed to have walked Remy when they clearly hadn’t, finding someone we can truly trust has been such a relief. Megan is reliable, caring, and gives us the peace of mind we were looking for. We’re so grateful to have found her and hope she’ll be part of Remy’s life for a long time to come!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in University Park is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $67 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,501 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 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
