“So relieved that I found someone so great to watch our lil pupper. So thankful for all the pics and video. He clearly really enjoyed being with you all. Thx again. Will def book again!!!”
“What a wonderful and caring couple. We never worry about our first baby with them. I get great pictures and Lola really enjoys playing with Chloe. We will ne er use anyone else.”
“Gabriella is the best! She took in Rosie last minute (during Christmas!) when another sitter had to cancel due to a family emergency. I received constant updates, Rosie was spoiled and even had to stay an extra few nights due to flight delays. Gabriella and her pup Gertie were extremely accommodating and loved on my Rosie! I will definitely trust her again in the future. She is the best!”
“Cameron is absolutely amazing with our Bentley! Bentley is a very energetic and rambunctious one-year-old, so he can definitely be a handful, but Cameron handles him with so much patience, care, and love. She watched him for 10 days while we were out of the country, and we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She kept us updated, took wonderful care of him, and honestly treats Bentley like he’s her own. This isn’t the first time she’s watched him, and she always does an incredible job. Bentley loves her, and that says everything! We’re so grateful to have someone we can trust completely with our fur baby. Highly recommend Cameron! 🐾❤️”
“Will has been a godsend. He loves all of his little charges as much as they love him. I am boarding my little girl in a time of upheaval in our lives, and having a responsible, caring sitter has made an enormous difference in mine and my soft pup's lives. Thanks for everything, Will!!!”
“Min was stepmommy & Max ( her son) were wonderful to Ide’Claire & Yippie for 11 days. She sent videos daily. Yippie was stuck to Max! Always on top of him. Ide’Claire was attached to Min. Prior to my departure I was crying. My babies are with me 24/7. Worried about leaving due to small sizes, hypoglycemia being fragile. Yippie has almost died twice in the past eight months. She had been on I.V.’s due to blood sugar dropping and going into a coma. She needs Nutracal or food every five hours to keep her blood sugar regulated. So many instructions for Min I was concerned. She must have thought I was crazy. Yippie cannot have unfiltered water. She literally turns dark brown her face and then her back end after she uses the restroom. Sent bottled water to Min and she followed all immense instructions. She was concerned herself before taking the reservation. She and Max came to my home to meet us. Both animals loved them both immediately. Once Min started sending videos and pictures never worried as both babies were always on top of them or playing. Thought they were growing. Yesss, absolutely grew. Upon arrival back home Yippie gained .75 and Ide’Claire gained 1 pound. Both only three and four pound weight before departure. That tells you Min certainly fed them and they didn’t miss their Mommy. Some dogs get upset and will not eat. It was a concern for me. Chose Min because I knew from her pics my animals would love the attention of the added bonus of attention from her sons. They slept in her bed as if her own children. They didn’t miss a thing. Actually Ide’Claire has missed Min. She has woken up during the middle of the night, moves away, just sits thinking. I have to tell her, It’s okay and love on her. Never ever has it happened in her lifetime. If you want your babies coming home better than the way you left them you’ll want Min & Max. Mine came home cleaner, trimmed nails and fatter! Will definitely go back to visit often no doubt. I won’t even cry next time.”
“Anika is an amazing dog sitter! She sent constant updates and photos and clearly loved Moose like he was her own pup. I felt so comfortable knowing Moose was living his best life with her while we were on vacation. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Selene is such an awesome sitter! We were very thankful for her taking our Pablo into her home and treating him like he was her own. She updates you throughout the times she is in care of your pet. We appreciate her and look forward to booking her again!”
“I had a really good experience with Brittany! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her to other pet parents and would book with her again!”
“Elizabeth is AMAZING!! My dogs are usually hesitant to meet new people and they practically ran to Elizabeth!! Elizabeth sent me multiple photos a day and it was clear my dogs were in heaven!!! She gave wonderful updates and loved on my dogs the whole time. Will continue to use Elizabeth!!”
“Linda was great! She took amazing care of our pup and gave us daily photo updates while we were away. Our pup had the best time running in her yard and playing with her dog. Will definitely book again!”
“Sean and his family are amazing! They have watched my two King Charles cavaliers twice so far. I was terrified leaving them with strangers. Having just moved to Dallas I did not know anyone. He immediately put me at ease. He sent regular pictures and gave me constant updates so I was able to relax and focus on what I needed to do. He is now our go to dog sitter. I highly recommend him and his family!”
“So happy I found Dori and her family! They took amazing care of my dog for the week he stayed with them, and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that he was in good hands. I know that I will have a reliable family to take care of him in the future should I need it!”
“Mirada was awesome! My furbaby is pretty timid and shy at first but she managed to warm him up to her within minutes! I loved how she sent updates along with videos and pictures of how my fur baby was doing. He looked like he was having a blast and I can tell he was very well taken care of. I would highly recommend Miranda to take care of your fur babies!! I will be booking with Miranda in the future!! 5/5 stars for me!!!!”
“Our boy Nash had a good time with Jonathan and his pup. He sent updates and gave Nash lots of play time. We were able to book the day before we needed a sitter and Jonathan was available!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - University Park
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our sweet Layca! ❤️ This was our first time using Rover, so naturally we were a little nervous about leaving our baby with someone new, but Ashley made the whole experience so much easier. Layca can be a little anxious in unfamiliar places, and Ashley was incredibly patient, sweet, and understanding with her. She gave her the time and space she needed to feel comfortable, and it was so heartwarming to see Layca slowly come out of her shell and start trusting her! What we appreciated most was Ashley's amazing communication. She kept us updated throughout the day with tons of pictures, little stories, and details about how Layca was doing. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our girl was being so well cared for while we were away. She also took Layca on lots of nice, long walks on her trail. You can genuinely tell Ashley cares about the dogs she looks after and treats them with so much love and attention. We're so grateful for everything she did for Layca and would absolutely trust her with our baby again! Thank you so much, Ashley! ❤️🐾
My wife and I were extremely happy with how well Madison took care of our dog Ruby. Madison was amazing with Ruby while we were away for our wedding weekend. She sent constant updates with photos, so we never had to wonder how Ruby was doing, which meant we could actually relax and enjoy one of the biggest weekends of our lives. Ruby was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved her time with Madison. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking her again!
My pups, who are very attached to me (it's mutual), literally RUN into Justin and Brent's home with zero hesitation. The guys send TONS of photos. Which is exactly what I want as a nervous dog mom. When I come back to get them, the pups come running back out, super excited to see me but also you can tell they had a nice time-- AKA: They are happy, like kids coming home from a great time at sleep away camp. This is why we keep using Justin and Brent. The pups are safe and content and I love that.
Tristan was fantastic with Laffy during his 5-day stay! She was upfront and transparent from the very beginning, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Both drop-off and pick-up were completely seamless, and her communication was consistent and timely the entire time I was away. I really appreciated all the photos and updates she sent throughout the week. It was great seeing Laffy so well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Tristan again!
Laila was the absolute BEST. My 11-year old lab got extremely sick early on in his stay and Laila not only took him to the emergency vet but also 3 follow up appointments with his primary doctor until I could get home to him. She was super communicative and I knew he was in such good hands. I cannot say better things about Laila. Highly recommend!
My dogs had a long-term stay with Marquette while I was out of the country. I was worried leaving my dogs for 3 weeks but Marquette was super sweet and kept me updated on how they were doing and shared pictures and videos. My dogs can be a handful but seemed super happy and comfortable in her care. Marquette asked all the right questions to get to know how to best care for them. I would definitely book with her again if she’ll have them!
Stacy is an amazing sitter! My anxious pitbull mix can be picky sometimes but Mango was relaxed and had so much fun! Stacy kept me updated and sent pics everyday. Stacy is very easygoing and easy to talk to about scheduling and doggy needs. Will definitely be coming back to Stacy!
Jirah did an outstanding job boarding my high-energy, 8-month-old Australian Shepherd for two nights, and I'll absolutely be using her again. Boarding has always made me anxious, so I'm very selective about who watches my dogs, and I was especially nervous about leaving my young Aussie for the first time. Jirah put me at ease the moment I met her. She's an absolute delight, and I knew right away my pup was in good hands. Her own dog, Gilligan, is super friendly, and the two of them loved playing together. Jirah also had fun activities set up, like a ball pit my dog had a blast in. I got to see it all in the many videos she sent throughout the stay. When I came to pick her up, it was obvious how happy and comfortable she'd been. My dog clearly adored Jirah!
Tyler and Jordan took amazing care of our girl! They also sent tons of pictures and videos everyday which we loved. They were very professional and understanding. It is clear they know what they are doing and it was easy to trust them. She came home happy and healthy, and we couldn’t have asked for any more!

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.
There are 4,553 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in University Park. About 92% of University Park sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
