“Kendi was great! One of our cats had a wound healing and she kept us informed on its status and even returned to our place after she had done a check in just to put a collar on him when we were worried it didn't look right. Great pictures too! Highly recommend!”
“Ashley’s the best cat sitter we’ve had! She was so kind, super detailed in her daily reports, and sent us lots of pictures of our lil boy, Emmy. She took such great care of him - very attentive. And he felt so loved!!! 🥰 We never had to worry about a thing. We’ll definitely be booking her again. 11/10 recommend!! :)”
“Lane is so lovely and kind and my cats seemed to take to her right away on her first visit. She was thoughtful and gave wonderful updates about my girls while I was traveling so I felt they were in safe hands and could relax and enjoy my vacation! She even watered my plants and kept my tomatoes looking healthy during the LA Summer heat. Thank you so much, Lane!”
“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.”
“Elizabeth has taken care of my cat multiple times when I am away. My cat loves her. My cat does not allow anybody except me to pet, more or less pick her up but she allows Elizabeth to do both! I’m so glad that my cat is in responsible, loving hands when I am away!”
“Dayna is a trustworthy, reliable, responsible, caring, and very punctual person. I went on an overseas work trip for over two weeks, and it wasn’t easy to leave my cat at home for such a long time. Dayna was the only person I could trust to take care of my cat, and I truly appreciate her care and responsibility as an animal lover.”
“Trinity was super communicative and responsive both during the booking process and while she was watching my cat. She treated him great, paid great attention to his needs, and took lots of pictures of them playing and hanging out. Would 100% book again!”
“Amanda was AMAZING! She sent pictures every day and made sure to get play time in with my two cats. I never had to worry about anything she was so on top of it. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Ceara offers exactly what you would want in a cat sitter. A calm, understanding demeanor, asks all the right questions and gives the care, attention, and affection the animal needs. She was great at sending me frequent photos and videos of my cat throughout the entire 2 weeks that I was away and I never worried for one second about the well being of my pet. Ceara is clearly very experienced (and kind) and I plan to contact her again should another opportunity arise that I need to leave town again. Thank you, Ceara!”
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.
“Adrianne was so amazing!! She was so so understanding when we ran into some trouble from my apartment management and was an ANGEL through it all, making my kitties a priority and even going out of her way to make sure they were taken care of despite all the extra hassle. My notoriously shy cats trusted her immediately and were so comfortable with her!! She gave great updates and pictures. If I could rate her 100 stars I would!!!!!! So friendly and warm, she is an amazing pet sitter!!!”
“Suzanne was professional, caring and loving with our two cats, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept us informed with pictures and text messages which gave us a piece of mind. I will definitely be booking with Suzanne again. Highly recommend to any pet parent.”

DJ took care of my cats during four visits and followed all my instructions. He gave Ace his eye drops and patiently spoon-fed him while he was wearing a cone, made sure Gary got his treats, and tidied up after each visit. He always sent photos and responded to my texts. He’s a kind, capable, reliable sitter, and I’d happily book him again.
Halley took great care of my cat, Binx, during drop-in visits while I was out of town for a few days. She followed all the instructions I left, kept me updated after each visit, and made sure Binx was well taken care of. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
Highly, highly recommend Regina for all your pet sitting needs! She is incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and reliable, which makes leaving town so much easier knowing everything is taken care of. We always feel completely at ease knowing our pets are in her care. Thanks so much, Regina!!
Dayna took wonderful care of Simba while we were away. Simba was a little grumpy and moody this time, but she was incredibly patient with him and spent time playing with him every day throughout the week. We really appreciated her detailed updates and the care she gave him. Thank you so much!
Yvonne was absolutely incredible!! She gave my kitties so much love and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for while I was in Europe. I got little check-in notes on how they were doing, daily task updates, and LOTS of great pictures. I will absolutely be rebooking anytime I take an extended trip and highly recommend Yvonne for anyone who wants a sitter who will treat your pets like her own while you are away :)
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!
Bee was very attentive to my cats, she’s a true cat lover. My cats would wait by the door when they knew she was coming. She took great care of them and played with them so they got some attention and enrichment when I was gone. Even my shy cat was out and about playing and getting pets. We’ll definitely invite her back next time I go out of town.
Joanne took care of my cat while I was traveling for a week and a half, and I was really able to enjoy my time away knowing he was in good hands. We just moved to a new neighborhood and I was super sad to lose the catsitter I’ve been using for the past year, and I spent days stressing about finding a new one. Thankfully I found Joanne and she got along with Cooper so well and sent me cute photos and updates every day. I would absolutely rebook with her next time I’m out of town!

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.
