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 :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Grown up with dogs my whole life, and have experience pet sitting for dogs and cats as well. I’m good with all pets regardless of size or feistiness, and am plenty strong if you have dogs who try to rip off your limbs during walks. I have milkbones and a bunch of dog toys as well, so no need to haul everything over if you’re leaving your pet with me overnight. I have a remote part-time job, with very flexible hours, so I am able to work around the dogs’ busy schedules. I don’t own any pets at the moment. However the client or pet needs. I can comfort them if they scare easily, I can bathe them if they are dirty. We’ve always treated our dogs like siblings, so there’s no location or activity I can’t handle.
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of my own and others for over 10 years. I love taking care of animals and making them feel loved! I have a 4 month old mini Dachshund who loves playing with other dogs💗 I work from home so am mostly home during the days. I teach 2 nights a week, but am home for the most part to care for your pet! I’m happy to watch your dog in my home. I love taking them on walks, keeping them company, and giving them all of the love!
“Thankful to book with Jiyoung for my puppy’s first time through Rover. She is very caring and communicated well. I love the peace of mind knowing my puppy is in great hands! I highly recommend booking with her & would only choose her for future needs!”
About: I take care of my friends dogs all the time! She had two medium size dog and one small Yorkie. I also have my own baby who is a small medium size dog. 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. I also do one long walk in the evenings when it's cooler outside.
“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!”
“Je Yeon stepped in at the last minute when we had another sitter cancel—very grateful! Great communication, easy drop off/pickup, and got updates throughout the evening. Would recommend.”
“Lori is an amazing dog sitter. She gave me updates and pictures throughout the day which made it a very relaxing experience. Will definitely use her services again and highly recommend!”
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 company, feeding, bathroom breaks, and check-ins 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. My priority is always careful, attentive care, but having proper insurance in place is one more way I try to make the experience feel safe, professional, and reassuring for pet parents.
“This was my first time booking Lilivette for daycare, and it went really well. She was very responsive and proactive with updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Leo got along great with her dog, and I felt confident he was in good hands. I’m looking forward to booking with her again soon!”
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.
About: I can’t wait to spend time with your fur babies! I love animals and will always get a bunch of cute photos for you during my time with them. Running is an additional option if you specify in the request. Pet brushing and pet vacuuming available on request. I love all animals and will care for them like they’re my own. I have experience with special need animals, animals from traumatic situations who may need special care, as well as medically complicated. I work fully remote and take frequent breaks to walk throughout the day and play/snuggle breaks! My schedule is pretty flexible and there is lots of room for them. My house has lots of room for animals and I’m in a great neighborhood for walks. I have lots of toys and activities for cats and dogs

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!
Tyler was a phenomenal host for our little Honey while we were in Dallas! He took great care of her, sent lots of pictures throughout the day, he was flexible with the drop off and pick up times, and he made our family feel completely at-ease with being away from her! Highly recommend using Tyler for your dog-sitting needs!
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.
Claudia helped watch our pup while we were in Dallas on business. We dropped him off with her while we attended some meetings. We came back in the afternoon to pick up a happy boy who seemed to have had a great day with her. The doggy daycare was easy and we would definitely use her again.
Hailey is absolutely is such a beautiful person. My dogs loved her and so did I. I highly recommend her. My dogs got along with her cat. Hailey sent me photos of dogs. It was really easy to get to her place and she came and greeted us outside. We just loved her positive attitude.

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 3,357 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.
