About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was around 9, and it’s been the best 13 years. This has taught me the ins and outs of dog care, from puppy age and beyond . I’m a current college student at SMU, so taking care of your pup is just what I need to take my mind off of school. I will care for your pets at the highest standard, and will be sure to follow any instructions or guidelines given for the best care.
“Cassie did a wonderful job watching our dog, Taco. He looked very happy in the pictures she sent us and was exhausted from all the fun when we got home. We can't wait to use Cassie again!”
“My Great Pyrenees puppy seemed like he had an awesome time with Mike and Abby! He came home happy and sleepy from playing with their pups. They have a good home setup for pet sitting and they sent me lots of photos through the week!”
“Our pups favorite place to go! Loving Family entertainment “feels like home” kind of space. Over 5 years of senior dogs staying over of weeks of vacation”
“Stacy is a caring and reliable host. She is always communicative, easy to arrange, and frequently send photo updates of my doggie. Jennie loves her too. Definitely will come back next time.”
“Cynthia was great. Always responded quickly. My baby girl seemed to have a good time. My doggy took a poop as soon as we arrived to Cynthias and she took care of it quickly and didn’t mind at all. I’m hoping she’ll be available the next time I go out of town. Cynthia also had another dog on premise and Alizé got along with her perfectly. 10/10, definitely recommend.”
“Jenna showed my lab the attention she craves. Long walks, sunbathing and some fetch squeezed in as well. It's always a great relief to have complete trust in someone caring for a loved one. Thank you, Jenna!”
“Chaka was great! Bear had an amazing time with her and came back as happy as can be! She periodically sent updates and made sure Bear had his walks, cuddles, and a safe place to feel comfortable. Will be using again in the future Lord willing!”
“Cassandra took great care of Hazel and was extremely timely in her responses. We got pictures everyday and it helped to know my pup was having a great time. She almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Thank you Kellie for a fantastic staycation for Milo! We really appreciate your excellent service and genuine love for our dog. I highly encourage anyone considering Kellie’s boarding service to make your reservation! Her home is beautiful, including lots of space indoors and outdoors for your pup to relax. There is a park right next door that she took Milo to regularly as well! Thank you so much for your commitment to giving our dog an enjoyable stay. Throughout all this fun, Kellie sent photos every day to show Milo playing and hanging out with her and her family. Kellie makes it a point to limit the number of dogs she watches so your buddy gets the attention they deserve. Our dog Milo met 3 of her regulars over the course of his 4 night stay and they were all very sweet and got along with each-other well. Thank you very much for caring for our favorite guy Kellie. We could tell he enjoyed his stay very much. Til next time!”
“Denise is a great pet sitter! She let me do a meet & greet before booking to help us feel comfortable. She was patient with my dog who is skittish with new people. She sent good pictures and updates throughout my dog’s stay. She had a nice home and a fenced-in yard that my dog enjoyed. Denise is kind and responsible and after my first booking with her, I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others!”
“Roy was awesome. He greeted us when we drove up, and carefully got Benji out the car. Sent pics of Benji’s daily routine. He snuggled with Benji and made sure he was accommodated with everything he needed. I really felt safe with Benji staying with Roy during my trip. I will definitely use his services again. Thanks Roy, you’re wonderful!!”
“My boxer, Ricky had the most amazing weekend at Charlotte’s house with all of her dogs and amazing home. Ricky is absolutely exhausted and will be back again very soon for another weekend. Charlotte was great and was constantly giving me updates and sending pictures throughout Rickys stay. 100% would recommend to anyone that has a dog and needs someone to help out.”
“We would absolutely recommend Michael and we’ll surely use him again. He took great care of Bandit even with lots of other dogs there for the long weekend. We loved the picture and video updates and Bandit was happy as can be!”
“We had to find boarding at the last minute for our Snow and Daniel was the perfect fit! When we picked him up we could tell Snow loved his time with Daniel and was very well cared for. Daniel sent us great pictures and videos of Snow every day and we felt very assured that we left our boy in the right hands. Never had to feel concerned or worried about Snow! We would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for pet care or boarding and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Carla was great! Super communicative and great about sharing updates, could tell she really loves and cares for dogs and Dolly looked like she had a blast! Will definitely use her again.”

Reagan was amazing! She took amazing care of my pup and was extra attentive. She sent me updates and images frequently and took extra care to Greg being his first time staying with someone else. Would recommend Reagan who is needing a trustworthy friend person to watch their pet.
My pup Henny loves it here. He literally ran to her front door waiting for her to open it so he can play with his new bff Gilli. Jirah is very attentive and sends lots of pictures. She provides a loving, safe, fun and comfortable environment for Henny to enjoy! I feel great knowing I can drop him off and he is going to get the attention and love that he gets at home.
We have two dogs and had been nervous about hiring a pet sitter but had an upcoming trip where it was just too difficult to bring them along. Kim was amazing from the start. She really made us feel comfortable leaving our littles in her care. You can tell she pays attention to detail and made sure to cover all bases before our trip. During the trip, she sent us daily photos and updates. Our tiniest dog usually struggles to adjust to new people but Kim was definitely able to make her feel comfortable and she warmed up so quickly. We’ll absolutely be using Kim for any future trips/pet sitting needs.
Justin & Brent were absolutely AMAZING with Stormi! 🥹🐾 She’s a Frenchie, so I’m very particular about who I trust with her, but they made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. They sent me SO many pictures and updates, which I absolutely loved because I could see how happy and comfortable she was. Stormi even got to play and spend time with their Frenchie, and she looked like she was having the BEST little vacation of her own! 😂💕 You can genuinely tell they love and care for the dogs they watch like they’re their own. Stormi was happy, loved on, well cared for, and clearly felt right at home. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will 1000% be booking with Justin & Brent again anytime I need someone to care for my baby. If you have a Frenchie—or ANY dog—BOOK THEM! You will not regret it. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!! 🐶❤️✨
Tyler and Jordan are the best dog sitters in the world! They have a perfect setup and obviously love animals deeply. Communication was flawless and we received regular updates about Scout's day. Their dogs were so well-behaved and friendly so Scout made some quick friends. I highly recommend and they will be the first one's I call the next time we go out of town. I don't think Scout actually wanted to come home!
Marquette was absolutley wonderful! She takes great care to make sure your pet will have the best experience that also follows your pets' routine as closely as possible. She provides very clear and detailed summaries of how things are going, tailored at whatever frequency you pick! She is kind, responsive, and responsible. She will be my first pick the next time I need to board my dog!

There are 4,666 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
