“Absolutely amazing! I was on a work trip, going through Dallas, and needed someone to take care of my pup while I was working! Lori was absolutely amazing and I had nothing but trust when leaving my dog with her to care for! Anytime I am going to Dallas I would absolutely book again!”
“Our boy Mickey had so much fun. He was a happy boy when we picked him up from daycare with Jane and was relaxed for 2 days! A tired boy is a good boy ;) Mickey will be spending more time with Jane who sends pictures and puts her 💕 into taking care of Mickey!”
“We (and our pup) love Mandee! We use her for doggy daycare during the week and she has also watched him when we've been out of town for the weekend. When we pick Remi up he is happy and tired! He gets excited to see her each morning too! Mandee is incredibly kind and accommodating. I am so thankful for her help with our baby boy!”
About: I have had & dog sat multiple dogs of all sizes for my entire life in addition to regular foster & volunteer work! Helping animals is a passion of mine and I will make sure your baby gets the best care and attention while you're away. I've fostered multiple dogs with DAS and adopted my last foster, Josie (the first dog photographed). She is a 50lb ~2yr old pup that loves to play and will keep your dog occupied! Prepare to have storage on your phone, because you'll be getting lots of photos of our adventures. I typically always have someone home during the day and recently moved to a townhome with a yard for play space and easy potty breaks. I always walk my pups in the morning and evening with a mid-day potty break when necessary. Knowing how important routine is, let me know how YOU care for your dog so we can mimic the same routine to maximize their comfort! My dog, Josie, is in her crate when I am away and at night, but this is not a requirement for other dogs in our home!
“Marvin had such a fun day care with Brette, her boyfriend and Ellie (a super friendly golden retriever). I knew my little munchkin was going to be in good hands as soon as i met with Brette and Ellie in the morning at drop off. She invited me inside and Marvin and I felt welcomed in their home. I received a good amount of pictures (and a video) throughout the day which was very comforting for me. We will definitely be back for more loving care and play time! 5 stars 🌟”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and experience with dogs, I’m also Autistic so an expert in my craft. I started training and caring for dogs when I was just 10 years old and turned that love into a business at 16 by running a successful dog-walking service. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, always providing the utmost care and attention to their unique needs. From understanding the playful energy of puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs, I have the skills and experience to ensure every pupper feels loved, safe, and happy. Whether it’s training basic commands, keeping up with a high-energy pup, or offering extra TLC, I’m here to give your dog the best care possible! Pet care is my full-time focus, and I work from home, allowing me to dedicate 110% of my time and attention to the dogs I care for. My flexible schedule ensures that their needs—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just companionship—are always my top priority throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love and engagement. This also allows me to adjust easily to your dog’s routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for as if they were at home with you. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I ensure the space is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards like small objects or toxic plants. I provide plenty of comfy areas for rest and have secure outdoor spaces for safe playtime. I closely supervise pets during activities and always make sure they feel at ease in a calm, welcoming environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect. I follow the pet’s usual routine to maintain consistency and reduce any stress they might feel while their owners are away. I also stay vigilant about locking doors, securing gates, and keeping the pet safe during walks or outdoor time. In either case, I make communication a priority, providing regular updates, photos, and videos to reassure owners that their furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“Emerald was great with Otto! She was able to help me out last minute when my other dog care fell through, and was very communicative and accommodating. She let me come over early with Otto and meet her sweet dogs and kiddo to make sure everyone got along ☺️ Otto came home happy—he was in good hands!”
“Gabriella was incredibly sweet and attentive with my dog, Bea. She made me feel completely at ease, and I could tell Bea was in great hands. I would 100% recommend booking with her.”
“Edmanuel and the Pupkulture team are an absolute dream for any pet parent. Knowing that my dogs are receiving the same level of care, attention, and thoughtfulness that I would give them myself is incredibly valuable and gives me real peace of mind when I’m away. Everything they do clearly prioritizes the dogs’ safety and well-being. My dogs have definitely let me know in the past when they weren’t happy with a daycare option, but with Pupkulture, it’s the complete opposite. They get genuinely excited when we arrive, and they come home happily exhausted, sleeping better than ever. The team is also consistently responsive, provides thoughtful updates and photos, and brings a level of kindness and professionalism that truly sets them apart.”
“Shuai is absolutely amazing! His care for my fur baby gives me the time to focus on my in office days. Leaving her with anyone in general is always hard for me, but he makes it easy and anxiety free- knowing she’s in protective hands. He’s beyond responsive and reliable. Highly recommend.”
About: I provide a boutique, home style boarding experience in my 1,800 sq ft home with a fenced yard and only host max 2 dogs at a time for personalized care. I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and treat every dog like family. I work from home, so your pup has company and supervision for most of the day. With your approval, I love adding fresh homemade toppers like chicken, egg and salmon to their regular meals. I also enjoy taking photos, so you may receive some adorable updates throughout their stay! I only care for a maximum of 2 dogs at a time to make sure every pup gets plenty of attention and care. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. I take the dogs out for potty breaks 4–5 times a day and love longer walks early in the morning or evening when it’s cooler. On weekends, if the weather is nice, I sometimes take them to nearby trails or White Rock Lake. I live in a spacious 4 story home with a fenced yard and private rooftop, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play, relax, and feel at home. I love spoiling my furry guests with filtered water and homemade, human grade toppers and treats, with your approval and based on any dietary needs or allergies. They’re welcome on the couch, and I have plenty of comfortable areas/dog beds throughout the house for them to lounge and nap. They’re treated like part of the family here, with lots of love, attention, and cozy spaces to enjoy.
About: We love our sweet Cockapoo who loves all other dogs! She is 2 years old as of July 2025 so she has all the puppy energy and loves friends. I love to take her to our apartment dog park and walk her on the Katy Trail. Aside from my fur child, I work from home, so I have very flexible schedules and plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! We trained our Cockapoo ourselves (potty train, basic commands, leash and crate trained). I work from home so I am always home with our fur baby. My schedule is incredibly flexible and we love to be active and outside Our fur baby is our child. We give her all the cuddles and love she could want! I love other dogs and love to watch her fur friends from our apartment complex dog park so she has friends to play with during the day. Our Cockapoo is great with other dogs, is not aggressive, and loves to play and cuddle with her friends. I guarantee your fur child will be as well taken care of as our baby is!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them. I currently care for my senior cat, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and routine that older pets often need. I also play polo and grew up on a farm, giving me years of hands on experience caring for all types of animals and recognizing the importance of consistency, safety, and detail. I have experience caring for dogs (my family has dogs at my parents' home), birds, and freshwater fish. At home, I maintain a planted aquarium with bettas, shrimp, and snails, so I'm comfortable caring for aquatic pets as well. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, medication reminders, or simply a calm and reliable companion while you're away, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own animals. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care. I'm available most days for walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs a consistent routine, midday check ins, or extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to accommodate your schedule and make sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they need! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has different needs, so I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, medications (if needed), favorite activities, and any special instructions before you leave. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both your home and your pets with the same respect and attention I would my own. I'll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and companionship while keeping their routine as consistent as possible to minimize stress. Communication is important to me, so I'll provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have always had pets and as a child babysat my neighbor’s macaw frequently. I have had dogs, cats, I currently also have a leopard gecko, and I even had pet ducks when I was in junior high. I grew up pet sitting, babysitting, housesitting and I have also nannied. My kids are getting older and so independent and I have extra time on my hands. I am a stay at home mom to two teens and have some free time on my hands. I can help my neighbors care for their pets in-between caring for my pets and being my kids’ personal taxi service and attending their sports events. I have a fenced yard and a very social husky who loves to meet and play with friends. He is gentle with cats. I walk / jog him almost everyday. While sitting in your home, our dog would stay home so I can give your pets the attention they deserve.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets for friends and family. I have had and been around different animals my whole life. I’m naturally very attentive and particular when it comes to care. I pay close attention to behavior, comfort, and making sure your dog actually feels okay while you’re away. I understand that every pet is different, so I take time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether your pet is energetic or more shy, I adjust to their needs and make sure they get attention, patience, and proper care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I also currently have a senior dog with health problems the past few years. I’ve chosen to take her off of a previous owners hands in these later stages of her life and take care of her as my own. I’ve done what I can to keep her with me as long as possible so I am even more meticulous because of that! I have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening as well as weekends. I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they’re well cared for, comfortable, and not left alone for long periods as I am usually home. My home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly, and I make sure all pets are supervised and comfortable at all times. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I’m able to separate or crate pets if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and stress-free.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - University Park
These are some of the best sitters anybody could ask for. They are extremely polite and professional and helped accommodate some very last-minute requests including stuff with a same-day notice. We could only hope to be thankful enough to have every sitter on this app be like them.
Sophia did a wonderful job with our puppy! She was so patient and kind even though our puppy was anxious and had diarrhea on her carpet. She said it was no big deal and just took care of it – I was so appreciative. Our dog loved her dog and they had a great time together, they were playing all day long! The second day I brought our puppy over he went straight to her and asked for attention, which is a sure sign that he liked her and enjoyed being with her. Thank you so much Sophia and we will go with you anytime we’re back in town! ❤️❤️❤️
Jirah is amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my baby, Henny, but she immediately put my mind at ease. She communicates throughout the day, sends lots of photos, and is so gentle and caring with him. I know Henny is in great hands because he actually cried when it was time to leave. 😂 It's also a bonus that he's made a best friend in Gilly. Every time he comes home, he's completely worn out from a full day of playing and having fun. I can't recommend Jirah enough! Just don't book *all* of her availability because Henny would be very disappointed if he couldn't keep going back. 💛
Brent and Justin are always so great! Westley took a little time to adjust to going to daycare but they always made me feel confident that he was doing well and being taken care of. I love all the pictures I get throughout the day and Westley comes home happy and tired from playing!
I had an excellent experience with Taylor! He was flexible with my schedule, communicated promptly, and made sure to send updates with photos throughout the day. My dog can be hesitant and fearful, but Taylor (and his dog, Cooper) were patient and understanding. I had full confidence that my dog was in good hands and I plan to use Taylor in the near future!
This was my first time booking with Megan, and she was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of Rocky and made me feel completely at ease. She kept me informed, and Rocky looked happy and relaxed the whole time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I’ll definitely book with her again!
Kim = GEM. Our prior sitter is moving out of state and I was REALLY stressed about having to find someone new that met my standards (which is a LOT). We found Kim. I have a humongous weight off my shoulders. She is incredibly friendly, detailed and thorough and the level of attention she pays towards her dog-sitting role is 10/10!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in University Park on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,294 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across University Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your University Park commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,294 sitters in University Park, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
