“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!”
“Kendi is a very thoughtful and reliable cat sitter. She has taken great care of my senior cat on multiple occasions and I will continue to hire her whenever she’s available.”
“Alisa did a great job watching our two older dogs during an extended trip that required daily visits. She followed all instructions and was also willing to help with maintaining our yard which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely use her again and reccomend her to others.”
“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.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Yvonne! She took amazing care of our two little ones, Leo and Luna, and treated them like her own. She was attentive, loving, reliable, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares about animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable and happy. We came home to two very happy pets! I would absolutely trust Yvonne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their pets.”
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 :)
“Ashley is the best. Always reliable, kind, caring and excellent communicator. We are so grateful for her taking the best care of our cat Lulu when we are away.”
About: I have taken care of my own animals for the last 10 years, while also volunteering at local rescues to assist and socialize. My dog experience lies mostly within the rescues as well, cleaning feeding and walking are areas of expertise. I stand out because of my affectionate personality but also self awareness to gauge what the needs of your pet are. I am very flexible at the moment to assist and schedule whatever you will need for your pet. If the schedule is not available or if I have the ability to move things around I am open to that discussion as well. I care for each pet depending on what the pet & owners needs are. I am a fast learner and will adapt to any routine that will need to be implemented. As far as safety goes, I am motivated to accommodate any safety needs the client will need from me and for their home as well. Hey! I have the ability to come on my lunch break if your pet cannot be left alone for more than 4 hours. Can also be flexible on weekends and after 6p on weekdays. I have a large balcony and plenty of space in my apartment. My neighborhood is highly walkable and safe. Will avoid other dogs if needed.
“Trinity is a terrific pet sitter! Prompt, reliable, trustworthy, great with communication, and even more great with our kitties! She went above and beyond, which made it easy to enjoy our vacation, knowing our cats were being well-cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing. Catherine is super kind and great with my cat babies. I knew she could be trusted when my cat greeted her immediately upon meeting with her, plus she carries a laser light with her, she knows how to win a cats heart. Great communication and flexibility - she sent wonderful messages, photos and videos. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Ilana was an amazing dog sitter. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. Both of my dogs absolutely loved her, which says a lot because my Yorkie is extremely picky with people. The fact that she won him over so quickly truly impressed me. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such caring and capable hands. I would happily book with Ilana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.”
“Katherine is a wonderful pet sitter and is very thorough. I appreciate the detailed updates with many photos. I will definitely hire Katherine again.”
“Sarah was awesome!! Not only was she super prepared and asked all the right questions prior to the pet sitting, she also made a great effort to spend quality time with our cat and play with her. 10/10 recommend and will be booking again!”
“Ginneh is great! She followed all instructions to a tee, the dogs loved her, and she always went the extra mile when spending time with them. Definitely planning on using her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other animals of different ages, sizes, and personalities for more than 26 years. My own pets, as well as those belonging to friends, family, homeowners, and pet parents, have trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, comfort, and closely monitor them while their families are away. I’m patient with shy animals, attentive to changes in behaviour, and comfortable following detailed routines, including senior care, medication, grooming, and regular updates. I treat every pet with affection and every home with respect, cleanliness, and care I work mostly remote with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, companionship, and regular updates throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, maintain their usual routine, keep doors and gates secure, monitor behaviour and appetite, and provide regular photo updates. I also keep the home clean, tidy, and treated with respect.

Emily was absolutely amazing with my kitty Artimus. She is so communicative if anything is a little bit off, went above and beyond to ensure his safety and provided enrichment while I was away. It’s such a relief knowing someone is looking after him that I instantly trusted. She clearly adores animals and I will absolutely be requesting her help in the future.
Once again, Shanna took excellent care of my boys! She did all the basics like food, water, litter, and treats, but she also went above and beyond with extend play time, pictures, videos, temperature checks, and mail checks. The boys love her, and it’s clear to see why!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Universal City on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,649 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.
