“Joanne did a fantastic job watching our cat, Chicken. We appreciated her being prompt, very communicative, and bringing in our packages as well! We will definitely continue working with Joanne!”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic! She took wonderful care of my two cats, Sesame and Kiwi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was kind, attentive, and very communicative throughout the entire time I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and messages that really put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my cats and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I highly recommend Sarah and would definitely book with her again! 🐾🐈🐈⬛”

About: I have been a dog owner for 16 years and have developed a strong understanding of the care, attention, and responsibility that pets require. Throughout my life, I have also gained hands-on experience caring for animals through house sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and others in my community. These experiences have taught me how important patience, consistency, and attentiveness are in creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet. I take pride in being dependable and ensuring that each animal receives the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets. I genuinely love working with animals, and pet care has always been a consistent part of my daily life. As a longtime pet owner with years of experience caring for dogs and cats through house sitting and pet care, I’m comfortable building my schedule around feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, and individual needs. I understand how important consistency and trust are when someone is caring for your pet, and I make it a priority to provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel happy and at ease while owners have peace of mind. I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while in my care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or during walks and visits, I make sure they receive plenty of attention while maintaining the routines they are familiar with, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to create an environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I also believe communication is important, so I make it a priority to keep owners updated and provide peace of mind while they are away.
About: I've taken care of and been a furry friend mom all of my life. I'm also part of an animal rescue group and have been a foster home where we were able to find forever homes for many cats and dogs. I'm also bilingual with my second language being Spanish. I live in Beachwood Canyon where there are many wonderful roads to walk and socialize. I currently don't have dogs but I've had many in my lifetime and all of them were rescues. I currently have 4 cats that we recently moved back with us from Chile. No friend left behind! One is completely blind since he was a baby. His name is Messi. 🐾 We walk for miles everyday all around the Hollywood, Los Feliz, Beachwood , Bronson and Runyon Cyn areas. Hollywood Blvd is fun too when there's not so many people. Early in the morning and early evenings are best for paws in the summer 🐾☺️ We can bring treats and water and a favorite toy. If you like dog parks we can do that too!
“Mikayla is so sweet! We have a diabetic cat and it’s such a comfort to have someone so experienced taking care of our shy girl. Can’t wait to have her back!”
“Matthew went out of his way to help my kitty when she was not feeling well by proactively communicating and working with me to help her, and by coming to visit her sooner and staying later than expected. He really cares about the cats he visits. 💕”
About: Having a dog and 2 cats as a kid was the best childhood! I am home most of the day so I have lots of time to walk and play with your pup! I live with my boyfriend who also loves animals. I have been freelance dog sitting/walking for the last year through friends but looking for more furry friends here! Send me a message so we can talk more about you and your pet’s needs I work from home doing a part time job so I am mainly a home body. I am based in North Hollywood and generally service Noho, Burbank, Toluca Lake, Studio City and parts of Sherman Oaks I don’t accept animals from multiple households at once for my safety and theirs. I have multiple screen doors where they can safely watch the world outside at all the people and dogs who might pass by. I can also offer daytime sitting in someone’s home as long as my laptop and internet access is allowed!
“Adam was awesome! We came back to very happy dogs and Adam sent us plenty of pictures to let us know how happy our dogs were. We have large, high energy dogs so this was no easy task! Adam definitely went above and beyond what was expected!!”
“Katherine is a wonderful pet sitter and is very thorough. I appreciate the detailed updates with many photos. I will definitely hire Katherine again.”
“Cassandra is a lifesaver! It’s been many years since we’ve had a puppy in our house. After our first night with him, I knew we needed help! She came over and helped us with a schedule and gave us valuable advice. Our pup loves her! Our kids love her! We love her. She’s got great energy and a clear passion for dogs! She is our regular go to for mid day visits and we look forward to a long relationship with her & our pup!”
“Ilana was an exceptional cat sitter. She spend ton of time with our girls and took care of them as if they were her own. Her daily updates were detailed and full of some of the best pictures we could have asked for. I will be booking her moving forward for all our petcare needs.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Dayna for cat sitting and she was just as wonderful as the first time. She is super respectful of our space and her updates are great. We know exactly what happened and the photos/videos are so reassuring. We will continue to use Dayna as our go to cat sitter moving forward as it was such a great experience every time.”

We had such a wonderful experience with Kaitlin! She took amazing care of my girls and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Her updates were incredibly detailed, and I always looked forward to reading them. She included lots of photos each visit, which made it so much easier being away from my cats. She was also very reliable and consistent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making sure my girls were happy and well cared for. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and caring to look after their pets. Thank you for taking such great care of my girls!
Mikayla was absolutely wonderful! I get a lot of stress and anxiety before a trip having to leave my girls but I felt peace of mind knowing they were in her care. My care instructions can be lengthy and particular but she was up for the job and my girls seemed to love her! She’s professional and so friendly. I’m happy I found someone to care for them going forward!
Kasey was wonderful from start to finish! She was professional, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire booking. I especially appreciated the thorough updates and photos she provided after each visit—they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared and took the time to make sure everything was taken care of. Thank you, Kasey, for making the experience so stress-free. I would absolutely book with her again! 🐾💕
Emma was great ! My cat is super anti social and usually takes days to warm up to anyone. But Luna took to Emma day 2! I was so happy when I saw the camera. She sent pics and was prompt with Luna’s breakfast and dinner. I could enjoy my vacation without worrying about my baby. She was in great hands. Will def book again ! Thank you Emma.
Lane is a very caring and conscientious cat sitter. She listens and follows instructions and goes above & beyond to make sure your pet is well taken care of. We have a very shy cat and she did everything possible to gain his trust and make sure he ate. I would highly recommend Lane to anyone needing an excellent pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Universal City on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 8,573 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Universal City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Universal City. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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.
