“Thanks so much for taking terrific care of my babies again! The frequent updates with pictures & videos make me feel so relaxed while I’m away - I know they’re in great hands. Also, you went above and beyond ensuring their litter box area was clean as can be. THANK YOU! Teddy & Coco look forward to seeing you again :)”
“We would not hesitate to have Gabrielle watch our pets again! She went all out to make sure we had peace of mind knowing our animals were OK while we were away. We could not be more happy with her visits and great communication. She was very professional, and with her experience working at a vet we knew she could handle any situation. It is very easy to recommend her for anyone needing an experienced pet sitter.”

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always been the friend people call when they need an extra hand with their pups! I have experience with everything from puppies still learning their routines to senior dogs who need a little more patience and care, including German Shepherds. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, help reinforce training, give medications and, of course, make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime and love. I work mostly remotely, so my schedule is pretty flexible for walks, drop-ins and spending time with your dog in their own home. I’m also always happy to do a meet-and-greet first so everyone feels comfortable! I work mostly remotely, so I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day and week. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal schedule for walks, drop-ins, morning or evening visits, and longer visits when needed. I want your dog to feel comfortable in their own space, so I’ll follow the routine and rules you already have in place. I’m always happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand so you can show me around, walk me through their routine and make sure your dog is comfortable with me before their first visit.
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.
“Shawndreal was nothing short of excellent. She communicated very well & treated my dog with so much love. I will definitely be booking her again! Thank you so much”
“Matthew has been watching our pets while we are gone for a long time now and has always been phenomenal. He is always caring, takes detailed notes and pictures, and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend!”
“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.”

“Rose is AMAZING! She took such good care of my pup for a few weeks while I was in Korea for work. She is very responsible and updated me every day with pictures and descriptions of how my dog was doing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
About: I’ve had pets ever since I was a child. When I say “pets” I mean it, I’ve owned and cared for a wide spectrum, filled with cats, dogs, hamsters, fish and horses. To be completely transparent, I lost my Cane Corso late January 23’ to cancer 😫😭. I am not 100% ready to commit to getting another extra-large fur baby but I already miss having one around my house. Stoked to step into the cool “auntie” to your furry loved one(s). I truly enjoy caring for animals and would love the opportunity to share my heart with theirs even if just for a passing moment. Would love to walk your pups which hey gives me some more extra steps in my day or drop in and feed and love on either cats or dogs, hamsters, snakes. ALL ANIMALS LIVES MATTER! TRUST ME…YOUR BABY(IES) GONNA LOOOOOVE ME! I currently work from home almost daily so I can attend to basically your pets every need. I go on multiple walks during day myself so having some company is always best and motivating for me or I can take to park in my neighborhood that is dog friendly. If I have free time I can hop over to a true dog park if that’s cool with you too. If I am watching your kiki I can definitely give them as much space and/or attention, “spattention” as I like to define it, as per their want 😂 I live in an apartment but it’s in a very walkable part of town. I am ready to shower your fur babies with TLC. I am right down the street from White Rock Lake and can take your pups to the park if they so desire!

They will not have to be alone as I am able to have a flexible schedules. On my days off I am free all day. I am free on weekends! I will do my best to work with you and your schedule to make sure it is a great fit! Your dogs will have frequent potty breaks, sweet talk, cuddles, and playtime in and outside.

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.

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
