“Jo is an incredible pet sitter! She watched my cat for a week in my home and took such great care of her and of the house. She sent many great photos and made me so comfortable throughout the process. I would 100% recommend Jo and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Mia did a wonderful job looking after my cat for a few days. She gave detailed updates and even got my shy girl to come out from her hiding place (which she never does with new people). It’s clear that Mia loves animals and knows how to make them feel comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Catherine took amazing care of my two cats while I was travelling! The pictures and videos she sent gave me so much reassurance that they were in good hands. She was extremely responsive and proactive with communication.”
“Ginneh took care of our two kittens while we’re away for a week and she was wonderful! Both of our cats immediately got along with her. She was great at communicating, sent updates, and kept the place clean. We plan to use her again for upcoming trips.”
“Emily is SO great with my cat! Thank you for giving him funtime playtime and happy attention while I’m away, it gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s happy and so well cared for!”
“Thank you Tasha for your thoughtful care of our sweet kitty boys. It's rare when I hear back from sitters that they were able to connect with them, given their wandering nature by heart.. your calm and sweet presence was definitely felt. We look forward to rebooking when needed. Thank you infinitely!!”
“Pavel is a superhero. Delores accompanies me on almost every trip except this time, and with anxiety running high for both Deej and I, Pavel was instant relief upon our first meeting - his focus was completely on Delores and her needs. Pavel is kind, attentive, reliable, trustworthy and a genuine cat lover. Bonus: Pavel’s care and devotion shone through via his detailed visit updates, which were very comforting. We highly recommend Pavel to join your cat care team.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who had a number of dogs and horses throughout my childhood. More recently, I have hands-on experience as a dog foster (I adopted one of them too), and volunteer dog walker with a local rescue. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and caring for dogs & cats with different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I truly enjoy building bonds with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for when I am with them. I am currently consulting from home and have the flexibility in my schedule to take your pupper for a walk, or check in on your cat to make sure they are doing well. I’m a responsible, detail-oriented dog mom who prioritizes consistency, safety, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and creating a calm, nurturing environment.
“I had to take a last minute trip, and thankfully Caroline was available! My boys love spending time with her, and I feel secure knowing she is the one at home taking care of them. She is great!”
About: I’ve taken care of/raised many breeds of dogs and cats throughout my life while growing up. I have also raised other animals including goats and reptiles. I worked as a kennel technician for a while, taking care of both dogs and cats boarding with the vet clinic. Friends, family, and mutuals have relied on me for years to take care of their animals when they are out of town. I currently work retail, so my availability is quite flexible. I am off at least three full days a week, and work pretty short shifts. I am available to care for pets in all of my free time, as it's my favorite way to spend my time! Trust and safety are a couple of my most important factors while taking care of animals. I find it very important to earn your trust, and your pet’s trust. I will follow all rules given to me to make sure that the pet’s well-being is top priority. I want the pets and owners happiness at its highest.
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have 10+ years experience of dog sitting for neighbors, friends, friends of friends, family members and others. I have dog sat for long durations of up to 2 weeks, and pet sat for shorter durations as well as for just a couple of hours. I have experience with dog walking, extensive play time, grooming/bathing and following strict feeding schedules. Your fur babies will always receive the upmost quality of care and love just as if they were mine! I currently work full time remotely with a flexible schedule during the week to care for your pets. I have open availability on weekends as well for pet sitting and am able to ensure that caring for your pet is my highest priority! At the moment, I currently live in a mid-size apartment with 1 cat so I am able to watch either cats or smaller sized dogs in my home due to the size of my apartment. My complex has a private dog park and is extremely dog friendly. Due to living in apartment, I will ensure to take your dog out for walks/play time as much as needed to make sure they are getting enough play time. My cat is dog and cat friendly and loves to play. For caring for pets in your home, I am able to stay overnight if needed or am able to come and care for the pet as many times during the day as needed. If staying in your home, I always ensure to be respectful of ones home, ensure the homes cleanliness, and only access parts of the home that I am given permission to/instructed too. I am able to bring my own household belongings if preferred such as towels, pillows, etc. but if given permission to use any households items I make sure to wash all items after use, and put away as they were found. I make sure to leave the space just as it was before my pet sitting services and make sure your home is just as well taken care of as your pet is!
“This was my second time booking with Kelly to watch our cat while we were traveling. It’s so simple and easy to work with Kelly. She even helped me with bringing in packages that got delivered while we were away. So grateful to have her reliable support! 🙏🏼”
“Colette and my two cats hit it off instantly. It's easy to see why animals love her! She's thoughtful, responsive, consistent, and kind. Thanks so much for taking care of them Colette! Koko”
“Jacquie was wonderful!! Very communicative, and such a big help. My cat immediately was comfortable with her and it seemed like they had a good time together! Will be rebooking and highly recommend her with any furry friend.”
“Bri took great care of my two kitties. And the fact that the spicy one actually let Bri pet her after only one week (usually takes much longer to get her to warm up to people) is a testament to Bri's expertise with cats. She went above and beyond the duties I paid her for, even vacuumed and watered my plants. My cats seemed happy and unstressed when I returned home. Will definitely look to hire her again next time I leave town.”
“This is my 2nd time booking Emily for drop-ins with my cats and she continued to do an amazing job! I had some updates for their care since the last time she watched over them and she flawlessly integrated these changes. I truly felt at ease with her daily updates, clear communication, and quick replies! I will definitely continue to book with Emily, she is a truly awesome sitter!”
“alexander was so friendly and easy to work with! he sent lots of pictures and updates with every visit, which was super appreciated. i’d be more than happy to have him help out with my baby girl anytime.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Universal City
Dayna is by far the best pet sitter we could have asked for. She is so loving with our two cats. She knows all of the best games to play with them and their toys. When we ask Dayna to sit for us, we know our cats are getting the best care possible. Thank you for everything Dayna!
Was absolutely wonderful! Yvonne helped take care of the litter robot, played and bonded with my kitties, and refilled and put back the automatic feeder after it had been tipped over! I even came home from my trip to my keys safely (and cleverly) stored in my apartment. Absolutely wonderful and highly recommend!!
Amanda is always ultra reliable and takes EXTREMELY good care of our diabetic cat while we are away. We are always blown away by how communicative, professional and thoughtful she is. We can’t recommend her enough and would always without hesitation trust her in looking after our pet.
Victoria is really wonderful and is so great to work with! She loves pets and treats them with a lot of care and compassion, and has experience with different types of medications and is able to handle a wide range of situations to make sure your pet is loved and given the best care while you are away. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough!!
Lane was awesome! We were gone on a week-long trip and nervous to leave them for that long, but Lane was super attentive and they clearly loved her. We appreciated her thorough updates and great photos of them! We will definitely be booking with Lane again for our future trips.

Delores accompanies me on almost every trip except this time, and with anxiety running high for both Deej and I, Pavel was instant relief upon our first meeting - his focus was completely on Delores and her needs.

This was our second time booking with Amanda to care for our kitties, and she was again really trustworthy, communicative, and warm. She is attentive to our care instructions and adapts to each cat’s needs and comfort levels. Thank you for taking good care of our girls, Amanda!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Universal City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Universal City is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,527 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Universal City. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
