“I truly appreciated Bailee stepping up at the last minute to watch my little guy! I had zero issues with communication and I know Rebel received great care. Will book again!”
“I was extremely pleased with Natalie's care of my cat, Leeloo. She went to great lengths to send photos of Leeloo who would find the toughest spots to hide in. I appreciate how prompt Natalie was with responding to my request, given that it was fairly last minute and on a holiday weekend. I would definitely recommend Natalie to everyone.”
“Both times I’ve booked with Heaven have been relatively last minute, so I’m appreciative of that in itself. She’s so kind! She handles my pup with so much care! I hope I won’t have to book anyone else ever. 🤍”
“Dani was very patient and a wonderful sitter to my pup, and followed my instructions to a T! She was always very communicative and even went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable. Would rebook again!”
“Ynes did great with my cat Sage, it was the first time that Sage did not act up or get sick while we were gone, so Ynes must have really had some great skills! She kindly brought a delivered package inside the house and kept me updated with pictures. I would totally recommend her.”
“Darius sent me so many pictures of Lily enjoying herself on their walk and getting treats and pets at home. Good communication and Lily clearly is a happy girl. Thanks for taking good care of her!”
“Nupur did an excellent job dropping in on our two cats. Our two cats are still being introduced and don’t yet get along and she cared for each the week we were away. She carefully followed our instructions and shared updates and pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our kitties were in great dependable hands.”
About: I connect best with cats and have years of hands-on experience caring for them at every life stage. I’m especially comfortable with seniors — my own sweet cat passed recently, and supporting him has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and incredibly gentle. If your older kitty needs slow movements, soft routines, or extra emotional care, I understand that deeply. I’ve also cared for dogs and am happy to help with pups who need calm companionship, reliable check-ins, or a steady routine. No matter the pet, I focus on creating a peaceful, loving environment where they feel safe and understood. I work full‑time Monday–Friday, but I’m available for lunch visits when possible. I am most available before and after work since I work full-time in the office. When I’m caring for pets — whether in my home or my client’s — I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and understood. I move at their pace, keep routines consistent, and pay close attention to the little things that help them relax. For cats, especially seniors, I’m extra gentle and patient. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, eating habits, and energy levels, and I make sure they get plenty of quiet companionship. With dogs, I bring the same warm, steady energy. I stick to their usual schedule, offer lots of reassurance, and make sure they get the right balance of play, walks, and downtime. I’m great with pups who appreciate a calm presence and predictable routine. No matter the home, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own little family — with kindness, patience, and genuine affection.
“Yuriko was fantastic. She was punctual, communicative, and provided detailed updates with pictures and videos each visit. Suki loved having Yuriko and I highly recommend her.”
“We were really happy with Michelle looking after our huskies, Thanos and Kai, while we were out of town for a couple of days. She was reliable, attentive, and caring. Before our trip, she came over to our home to meet us so we could go over all the details, which immediately gave us peace of mind. Because of our busy schedules, our dogs usually only get walked late at night, but she managed to take them out for lovely walks both before and after her work shifts. Getting them outdoors seemed to have kept them happy, exercised, and well-cared for. She made sure they were fed, had fresh, clean water, and stayed in constant communication with us while we were away—complete with adorable photo updates! Thank you so much!”
“Sana was very sweet to our kitties and played with our kitten when she came to check on them. Definitely recommend her if you need someone to make your cats feel less alone!”
“My big dog is very protective of our home and a bit wary of strangers. Joe was patient and my dog quickly warmed up to him. Joe was also very courteous and easy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone with a big (or small) pet.”
“Bianca has been nothing but sweet to our overly anxious girl! I’ve never seen my dog be so happy and ask someone to play so soon after meeting them. Would highly recommend!”
“Ms. Heather was such a delight! She came through in a crunch time of mine. She’s super sweet and very responsive. She took GREAT care of my fur baby. My little Amirah loves her! She was so supportive and detail oriented when it came to my dog. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her in the future!”
“Burak was great! he was very communicative and super nice! he seems to get along with Cal very well and was easy to get in touch with and book everything!”
“Mikayla took EXCELLENT care of our cat while we were out of town. 100% recommend. We were anxious to leave him, but she sent us multiple photos everyday and gave him lots of love. We will definitely use her in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West University Place
Once again, Olivia did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties while we were out of town for a wedding! We are so thankful we found Olivia. It truly alleviates so much stress and anxiety knowing that Leo and Chloe are taken care of when we are gone. She is so patient and loving with them, even when they make little messes here and there or are just being their quirky selves. Both cats trust her and warmed up to her quickly. We definitely could not ask for a more amazing person to look after them!! Thank you for all you do, Olivia!! 😊🙏❤️
Mikayla does a wonderful job checking in on my cat, Sherlock, whenever I'm away. She makes sure that he gets his food and some attention, along with the usuals (checking his water and litter). She communicates reliably and is incredibly responsive. It is such a relief knowing that Sherlock is in good hands!
If i could recommend Alejandra 1000x over i would! She’s amazing. This last trip i ran into some last minute complications with my flight home. I reached out to Alejandra and asked if she could make some last minute accommodations to stay with my baby a little longer and she agreed. I’m so grateful for an amazing sitter like her!
Dani did an amazing job at keeping us updated while we were out of town! She sent us lots of pictures and thorough updates everyday. We came back with the house looking clean. She was very professional, communicative, and we will definitely be booking with her again!
Emily did an excellent job with my 2 cats! She was highly reliable and sent me daily updates. I came back home to 2 very happy cats. She also brought in a package for me and took out the trash, which I really appreciated while being away. I highly recommend her!
I’ve worked with Rachel several times, and the experience has always been great. Most recently, she took care of my cats for 11 days while I was out of town, and she did an amazing job. Beyond feeding them and keeping everything clean, she also gave one of my cats daily medication and spent time keeping them company. I trust Rachel with my babies and highly recommend her.
Michelle was extremely attentive and even met prior to the booking to make sure she understood all instructions and got to meet the dogs. She was very communicative and kept me updated on everything that happened. She cleaned up the house from the pups making a mess which was so nice of her. I never worried with them in her care and I would book her again in a heart beat!

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 6,602 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West University Place. 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 West University Place 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 West University Place. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
