I’ve completed training in dog obedience, puppy training, and the Canine Good Citizen program, so your pet will be in experienced and capable hands. I’m conveniently located near Love Field Airport, Uptown, and Downtown Dallas, making drop-offs and pick-ups easy and stress-free. At home, I have a sweet and friendly Maltipoo who loves meeting new friends and would be happy to keep your pup company.

Send pictures and status upon completion. Check mail and water plants when requested as time permits.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and started pet sitting in my neighborhood when I was 8! I have a 7 year old Lab of my own and am a huge lover of all animals, especially dogs! I take care of my friends dogs, family dogs, and of course my dog Luna. Good with reactive dogs as well I work from home Monday-Friday with increased flexibility! I am currently looking for something to fill my time while I have some extra downtime! Happy to be flexible as needed I treat my dog like a human - she sleeps in our bed, gets lots of snacks, and walks/runs. I would be happy to walk, play with, cuddle with, and let your dog out to potty while you are away! Always happy to make another puppy friend
“Angela was amazing. We recently adopted another dog, and this was our first time leaving Rufus alone for. while with Moose. We asked Angela to stop by for a potty break and to feed our boys while we were out. She was prompt, sent tons of photos, and really helped us out. Will definitely book her again.”

About: I have 1 14yr old Chihuahua, Nettie and a 2yr old Yorkie, Sherry that I take care of. I rescued Nettie from the Dallas Animal Shelter from being euthanized. I love her so very much and not a day goes by that I feel so grateful and lucky to have her in my life My maltese Gia RIP passed away at the age of 13. She was my first dog and I experienced a lifetime with her and got her as a puppy. I have also in the past had a rabbit, a bird, 2 gerbils, and 2 family dogs in I have cared for and was given the responsibility to do so by my parents. I am available to provide dog sitting in overnight care, for a few hours a day, and for walking. If there is something additional and provides specialty care, just ask me, and we can figure something out. Currently I am volunteering my time with non-for-profit agencies so I can be flexible in my schedule. My complex does not have a dog park; however, I can take them on walks, runs, and to dog parks. I have 2 available crates, bowls, leashes, food, treats, toys, and room to play in the apartment. I have transportation to take them somewhere if you need or want me to. I have a very great vet nearby if it is ever needed. I assure you though, your pet(s) will be very safe. At the apartment, my husband and I have a security system in place, just for extra protection. I also can administer medications to your pet if needed.

“After our meet and greet, I knew Abby would be great! She has such a good energy and Dutch picked up on that as well. Abby was punctual with drop ins and responsive. I also appreciated the photos and notes after every visit. My trip was even more enjoyable because I knew my furbaby was in good hands. Thank you so much Abby, we really appreciate it! I would definitely recommend and rebook.”

I know how important it is to trust your pet with another. I definitely will love them as my own.

I am very reliable and love working with all sizes and personalities of both large and small dogs! I have volunteered at the ASPCA for over 7 years. I used to run cross country in college and can be active for runs/walks or be a companion while you are away. Animals are a passion of mine and I find great joy in taking care of dogs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - University Park
We’re those crazy dog people who never thought we could feel comfortable leaving our dogs—until we found Kelsey! She made it possible for us to go out of town for a wedding, relax, and enjoy the weekend knowing they were in wonderful hands. That peace of mind meant so much to us. We’re so grateful and would happily book with her again!
Blake was really reliable, and took great care of my pet! He checked in on time, sent lots of updates and pictures, and was also available to help at short notice when my flight got delayed. My bunny had major surgery this year so I am always nervous to leave him, but I knew he was in good hands! Highly recommend - thank you, Blake!
We had a wonderful experience with Natalie and couldn’t recommend her more! She took great care of our dog, Hazel, during a drop-in visit and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Natalie was incredibly communicative, dependable, and attentive, keeping us updated throughout the visit. She was also wonderful with our cat, even though caring for her wasn’t part of the scheduled visit! It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We’re so glad we found someone we can trust with our pets and would absolutely book with Natalie again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!
This is the third time Hunter sits our dogs. He is the best sitter. He is kind, polite and very responsive. Our flights were a mess on this trip and he made sure we were covered and our dogs were taken care of. He just gave us the peace of mind we greatly needed. We could not recommend Hunter enough!
Carrin was such a doting and diligent dogsitter. I was nervous to venture on Rover but good friends told me Carrin was THE BEST and so I pulled trigger. Even with their glowing recommendation, I was blown away by how attentive and kind she was with my sassy puppy. I loved each thoughtful and peppy report card and accompanying carousel of photos. I have a zillion photos of my dog and Carrin captured newfound angles that accentuated his handsomeness. All a pet parent wants is peace of mind when they leave their precious babies and I felt so secure with Carrin caring for my pupper. I am so grateful to have a trusted dogsitter option for my future travels!! She was also super patient with my newbie fumbling with the Rover app nuances, she is gracious on all fronts!
My boys love David. He has been with them since they were healthy. Till they developed special needs and has always come through with them. Including meds etc. Has respected our house. And overall a great person. As long as he is around. We will keep him coming back for our boys!
Katherine is great at giving me updates on my dog’s care,. She takes care of the little things like noticing that my dog’s automatic feeder is low on food, and adding some to the reservoir. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend! I feel totally at ease with Katherine at the helm!
As always, Erica takes wonderful care of my dearful dogs. Since she has been coming, the dogs are better with new people coming over. She tailors their care to their individual needs and they are always so happy when I come home because they have been so well cared for while I was away!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in University Park is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. 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 8,556 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across University Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in University Park choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
