About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and experience with dogs. 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.
“Jane is the sweetest and most attentive sitter! I feel so comfortable dropping our puppy off with her! My puppy is always SO excited when we pull up to her house which makes me happy.”
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!
“Bo had such a great time this week with Tyler and Jordan! They are both kind, knowledgeable, and very communicative. We are very particular when it comes to having others care for our pup but my husband and I both feel 100% comfortable having Bo stay with Tyler and Jordan. Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for quality care for their pups :)”
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 will only take max 2 dogs to ensure it has enough attention. I work from home with an extremely flexible schedule, so pet care fits seamlessly into my day. I love taking walks during my breaks, so dogs get a nice long walk daily, along with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also love taking dogs to trails at least once a week. I live in a spacious 4 floor home with a fenced yard and a private rooftop, giving dogs plenty of safe space to move around and play. There’s lots of room for your fur baby to run, relax, and feel at home.
About: I have always had pets and taken care of neighbors, friends and family’s animals. I will walk, bathe, feed and give scratches! I have lots of experience with both cats and dogs! I also have a one year old golden retriever who I trained myself. She loves all other animals too! I am currently in an online nursing program through Baylor university so I am home on zoom or studying all day every day! My routine consists of walks, playtime and scratches already! I am very attentive to the animals in my care. I am happy to adjust our routine to your pet’s and will take great care in meeting their needs! My dog, Daffodil, and I are both very adaptive and welcoming to other pets!
“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: Ive had experience with sitting both dogs and cats basically my whole life and have serious sitting experience since entering adulthood. I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I am passionate about showing all animals excellent love and care! I willl provide lots of cuddles and walks. I have a miniature dachshund who is 3 years old now! She is super friendly and loves other animals as well! I currently work from home! I am able to provide hands on care all day, including lots of potty breaks, walks, and plenty of play time. I have a small fences yard for easy potty breaks and I also live near the Katy Trail and Knox! I love bringing my dog places with me so I can do the same for your fur baby! I also have a doggie car seat in my car for safety! I also am comfortable crating if that is needed! I personally sleep with my dog so can do the same for yours :)
About: I grew up with dogs and previously had one of my own, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I genuinely love animals, and when a dog is in my care, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priority. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, I can be present throughout the day and keep routines consistent, whether that means meals, potty breaks, playtime, walks, or medications given at the same time each day. I know how important consistency is for dogs, especially when they are staying somewhere new, and I do my best to make them feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for. I can’t currently have a dog of my own full-time because my work sometimes requires travel, which is part of why pet sitting means so much to me. I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, affection, and responsibility I would give my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits very easily into my day. I can be home throughout the day for play time, feeding, bathroom breaks, and walks rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. Your pet’s comfort and safety would be my priority. I live in an apartment, but I have two fenced-in patio areas for safe outdoor time, and I can also provide supervised walks and activity during the day. I’m careful about following each pet owner’s routine and instructions so their dog feels as comfortable and settled as possible. I’m also happy to send updates and photos while your pet is with me. I know it can feel nerve-wracking to trust someone else with your pet, so I carry pet-care insurance through Pet Sitters Associates for added peace of mind. My coverage applies to the services I offer, including sitting, walks, drop-ins, and boarding at my apartment, and includes expanded coverage for client pets plus additional property/bond coverage.
“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!”
“Will book again! We were so anxious to leave our animals for just two days, but as soon as we spoke and met with mandee, we felt safe and no longer anxious. Took really great pictures of our dear animals too! The best forst experiance!!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and more—I treat every pet like family. I have a small dog of my own (Brio, 11 years!) and understand how important it is to trust who’s caring for your furry companion. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and value timely communication, providing high quality care and your trust in me. Some of my offerings include at least 3 walks and check-ins daily, (depending on the need) and daily boarding and doggy day, in a safe,clean, pet-friendly home. I also like to keep the pups clean after every walk by wiping them down fully, including their paws, with fragrance free pet wipes. I generally follow a consistent schedule where I keep your furry babies well-fed, active throughout the day via walks or indoor/outdoor play time and comfortable. While I stick to a consistent schedule, I'm happy to accomodate to any special care or routine needs. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or to see if I'm a good fit for your pet—I’d love to meet them! I offer daily boarding and doggy day-care in a safe, clean, pet friendly home and multiple walks/ check-ins a day as needed. I typically follow a consistent schedule providing meals 3x a day, or as needed, followed by a walk and lots of play time throughout the day. I also like to keep your pups clean throughout the day by wiping them down fully, including their paws, after every walk. While I stick to a consistent schedule, I'm happy to accomodate to any special care or routine needs. My dog, Brio, is friendly with other dogs and can keep your furry baby some company. My home is fully equipped with beds, a crate, food bowls, toys, and a playpen if needed. Pets are welcome on the couch, and we love giving plenty of cuddles and playtime to keep them happy and comfortable.
About: I have had my own pup since July 2020 & been able to care for friends and family’s pups for the past 5 years living in Dallas. I am completely flexible to your dogs needs and will be sure they get all the special love and attention while you are away. I live near many parks and even have my own private backyard! This makes your dogs stay extra special with easy accessibility to a potty and fresh air! I currently work in a hybrid role. This is very flexible and if I am dog-sitting I would be home instead of in the office I live in a one bedroom apartment that has a private backyard that is fenced around all sides. I also have a pup of my own! She is a friendly shitzu named Georgie and just turned 4 years old. The yard is easy access for quick potty breaks and access to the sidewalk for long walks.
“Kim was so great to work with, she really accommodated to our schedule and is very professional! She took such great care of our boy and kept in communication! Maverick had a blast with her and was all tuckered out when he got home! I’ll for sure be using Kim again for doggy day care! ❤️”
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.

I've also recently pet sat for a 1 year old Doodle. I work from home so I'll be at the house all day. I take dogs out one at a time to go potty outside. We have multiple lawns that your baby can sniff I make sure the dogs go outside at least 4-5 times a day in the morning, afternoon, evening, and one more outside time before bed.

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.
