“Outstanding, respectful and great communication. My dog is selective on people and she was great about making chip feel comfortable and understanding him. Definitely will book again and so thankful I found Haylee! 10/10 recommend!”
“Carrin was SO amazing to work with. She communicated so well and took amazing care of our cat. She sent photos and videos and was so easy to get a hold of it needed. Would 100% use her again to watch our cat!”
“Chaka was absolutely fantastic! I originally booked for just my dog, Pixie but my sister ended up needing someone to watch her dog as well and Chaka was happy to do it. I get very nervous about leaving Pixie with anyone outside my family because she's my baby but Chaka did great with her! I will certainly be booking again!”
“Tiffany was wonderful with my two dogs! She came by twice a day for four days while I was away for a long weekend, and I felt completely comfortable. No issues or concerns at all. She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and kept me updated daily throughout my trip. I really appreciated the peace of mind she gave me and would definitely recommend Tiffany.”
“Renee was the biggest help! Last minute scheduling, and she still made the process very smooth. We weren’t able to do a meet and greet, but it truly wasn’t necessary as my pup seemed to be very comfortable with her during each drop in. She provided check ups and pictures as needed and feisty might just have a new favorite lol thank you Renee.”
“Catherine is so sweet. She did a great job caring for my babies. She also brought in packages and broke down a box for me. Definitely went above and beyond!”
“Haylee is very detail oriented, caring and reliable. She engages with our cat Toby, takes great pictures and always has fun comments after each visit.”
“Sidney came to take care of our pup 3 times a day. This was the first time he had been alone by himself so we are a little nervous. Sidney showed up on time every day and took such care of him and calmed his nerves. You can really tell she loves animals!”
“Erica has been consistently an excellent sitter for my pups. I have felt comfortable leaving them in her capable hands for extended periods at this point, knowing I am going to come back to happy and healthy dogs. She communicates well and keeps me informed and I'm appreciative to have found someone that I can trust them with!”
“Kyle was amazing! He was extra attentive to Kenzie while I was away and had no problem doing all the extra steps for her senior care. He takes amazing pictures too! He even programmed my TV to help her have some background noise. I know she enjoyed his visits. He also has fantastic communication and is a very honest human! I will definitely use him again!”
“Kelsey was so wonderful with our pets!! She walked into a difficult situation on a rescue mission after a negligent pet sitting service (not Rover). It took a while for Eloise, our French bulldog, to warm up to Kelsey due to the previous bad experience but Kelsey never gave up and she and Eloise became friends quickly. Kelsey was kind, caring, competent and attentive. We will be using Kelsey again for sure!”
“We are SO thankful for Kelly. She has been such a blessing to us. I trust her completely with our little cat. She clearly enjoys spending time with him and is always so thorough in her visits, making sure he gets the best care and lots of playtime and love. I am so thankful we found her!”
“Here’s a polished Rover review: Emily was a great help with my girls. She arrived on time, was communicative, and even turned around to provide additional help when we needed it. My boyfriend’s plans changed unexpectedly, and she was incredibly flexible with her schedule. She spent quality time playing with the girls and kept us updated by sending videos throughout her visit. We really appreciated her reliability, kindness, and willingness to go above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend her and would book with her again!”
“Lynn was very helpful and efficient. When I had to extend she was flexible and came two extra days! She is a great sitter and I came back to happy and healthy kitty!”
“Brittany and Tadas were great! Came on time and frequently sent updates. They asked if there was anything in particular they needed to know to care for Monty and were wonderful with how shy he can be with new people.”
“Ashanti stepped in at the last minute to help with my pup, and she was so easy to with despite the fact that this was our first time booking together! She responded quickly, ensured all was taken care of, and provided great feedback on the visit. Definitely recommend and will be booking with again in the future!”

Marquette did an amazing job checking in on my dog up to 3x/day for 5 days! I have cameras in my house and found after the first visit or so I didn’t even feel the need to check them. My dog would cry for her when she arrived🥹💕 Will definitely be using her again!
Trynne is the best!! She always goes above and beyond to care for our cats. She also sends very detailed updates and takes the best pictures. You can genuinely tell that Trynne has a passion for animals. My kitties and I look forward to our next visit with her! 🤍
Gabrielle did an amazing job caring for my 2 dogs Gary and Gilbert! She came 3 x a day attending to all of their needs, communicated with me, and sent me photos. I highly recommend Gabrielle for pet care on Rover.com. I knew I was leaving my dogs in good hands!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in University Park on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,986 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across University Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a University Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in University Park. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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.
