“Mia is a life saver. Booked way last minute and she was able to help out with my two bengal boys. They really enjoyed her company and playtime. I can tell how the energy was by how the boys respond to us coming home afterwards and they were totally chill. Mia moved to the top of the sitter list and takes awesome photos and she asked questions as needed which was appreciated and even offered to buy new toys for them since she wasn’t aware how feral the boys get with their toys. She’s a delight and so good with pets and a good human highly recommended.”
“She is very smart and friendly. She did all the instructions precisely. My dog was very happy, and she took some lovely photos from my dog and sent them to me while I was in my vacation. I highly recommend her.”
“10,000/10!! Elizabeth is incredible...experienced, compassionate and enthusiastic. She is communicative and took care of my Nala so well...from the pictures she sent, I can tell that Nala loves her and feels very safe with her. Will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again!”
“Yvonne is the best! She speaks Cat fluently and it shows in how much my kitties love her - as evidenced by my button presser, Benjamin, who usually puts in multiple food requests with his buttons, but on her last visit pressed “Love You!” Instead. 🥰 Knowing they’re in her attentive care makes leaving town a lot easier and I don’t have to worry if their needs and whimsies are being answered to. I look forward to calling on her again the next time I have to leave town!”
“Alisa was amazing! She came through with a last minute booking request and was very flexible. She took great care of Tootie (our cat) and even went the extra mile to take care of a pesky ant problem.”
“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!”
“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!!”
About: I've been around animals and helping care for them from a young age, so taking care of pets has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up with a variety of dogs, including Chocolate Labrador Retrievers, Shiba Inus, Huskies, and Chihuahuas, so I'm comfortable with dogs of all different sizes, breeds, and personalities! I've also house-sat for dogs that required extra care, including giving oral medications, keeping up with scheduled walks, feeding, and, of course, making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. My experience isn't limited to dogs either! I've cared for cats overnight and have experience giving oral medications, cleaning litter boxes, keeping up with feeding and fresh water, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I'm also currently a proud cat parent to two beautiful cats of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I always try to treat every animal I care for like they're one of my own! I work from home and have flexible hours, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule also allows me to adjust to each pet’s normal routine and specific needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable while in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedules as closely as possible. I also make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of both the pet and the client’s home and will always communicate if I have any questions or concerns.

With 10 years of experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I understand that every dog is unique. Whether it’s energetic playtime, peaceful walks, belly rubs on demand, or a little extra patience with shy pups, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. I’m also experienced in ensuring every pup feels right at home—even when their humans are away. Your furry friend deserves more than just a sitter; they deserve a companion who treats them like family. Let’s make their days full of fun, love, and plenty of tail wags!

Full Availability for Pet Care I understand that every family and pet has unique needs, which is why I offer complete availability to accommodate any schedule. Whether it's day or night, weekdays or weekends, I’m ready to take care of your furry friend whenever you need me. A Safe and Fun Space for Your Pet Although I don’t have a yard, I offer a dedicated recreational area designed for your pet to feel free and enjoy playtime without interruptions. This space is exclusively for their fun and well-being, ensuring they receive the attention and entertainment they need. Additionally, your pet’s nutrition and well-being will always be a priority, with meals tailored to their specific dietary needs. I don’t have small children or other pets at home, allowing me to provide exclusive and personalized care, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. Your loyal companion, whether feline or canine, will receive all the love and dedication they deserve. Here, they will feel right at home!
About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m an LA-based animal lover and proud cat mom to my sweet orange tabby, Jeff. Being a pet parent has been one of the greatest joys of my life, but my love for animals started long before that. I grew up with two golden retrievers, Kona and Maggie, and my family has always joked that I’m the “dog whisperer” because every dog I meet seems to decide we’re best friends. Before joining Rover, I pet sat for family, friends, roommates, and neighbors for years, caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just having a calm, friendly companion around, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. When you book with me, you can expect reliable care, great communication, lots of photo updates, and someone who will treat your pet like one of their own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have a remote job so my schedule is very flexible and I am typically available to house sit during the week. I usually have plenty of availability over the weekend for walks or drop-ins as well. Whether it's drop-ins or extended overnight care, I am very happy to learn and follow your routine for your pet in order to provide the best care possible :)
“I was so nervous about leaving my cat for the first time, but Dayna went above and beyond taking care of him. My cat is normally very nervous around strangers, but Dayna was able to very quickly bring him out of his shell. She sent the best updates and photos every day documenting their fun playtime. I came home to a very happy kitty!”
“Ginneh is the best!! She spent extra time with Smoky and made all the efforts to let the most shy cat come out of the hiding spot and ask for petting. She is definitely my go to!”
“I cannot rave enough about Stephany! She left such thorough descriptions and pictures during her drop-ins that made me miss my 2 kitties less during my trip. She went above and beyond with cleaning messes they made, playing with them, and giving them all the cuddles. Thank you, Stephany!”
About: As an experienced pet caretaker, I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be difficult. Rest assured that they’ll get the same amount of attention, respect, & care you would give them yourself. I’m currently available and have a flexible schedule. I am always open to work with clients schedules. I know how important routines are in a pets life. I understand how important respect and privacy are valued while visiting with pets. You can feel confident that I’ll take great care in your absence.
“Katherine was amazing! I trust very few people with my boy and she made me super comfortable by respecting all my rules and providing a lot of updates. Lincoln also ended up loving her and asking for a bunch of pets. Thank you!!!!”
“Jesslin has been punctual and reports precisely what she has done during her visits. She also goes the extra mile when needed to ensure my cats’ well being. I recommend her highly.”

Ashley was fantastic as always!! She took great care of my little guy and made sure to be extra accommodating with my apartment building’s fire alarm testing—she made sure that through the noise he was comfortable and at ease. She communicated extremely well about potential concerns with a red spot on his ear and gave clear pictures to assist! Ashley is a 12/10!!!
Katrina is wonderful! She gave so much attention to our cats, taking the time to play with the more outgoing one and putting on Cat TV for the more ornery one 😹 She sent really nice pictures that both made us feel good and gave us some laughs, and she is super reliable and responsible.
Amanda took excellent care of our two fur baby kitties! She was thorough and thoughtful about every aspect, even catching a discrepancy I made in my detailed written instructions as compared to the meet and greet orientation. She was communicative and warm. Both our cats seemed to enjoy spending time with her, including the shy one! We’ll definitely be booking with Amanda again, and highly recommend her! Thank you, Amanda!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Universal City on Rover is $27.75 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,762 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
- 94% 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.
