“A great experience that was easy, flexible, worry and stress-free. Amon and Adam work from home and adore doggies and treat them as their own. Our pup had loads of human and happy pup interaction. Plus, sunshine, backyard sniffing and neighborhood walks outside. Inside filled with cozy beds and fuzzy blankets. Looking forward to Phoebe’s next stay.”
“Our older dog loved his time with Aimee and her partner! They sent updates and photos and set our minds at ease. I appreciated that she had our dogs meet first; she really cared that our pup felt comfortable with their sweet dog and the space before we left. Aimee and E are lovely people and excellent pet sitters. We will book again. Thank you for loving our Dexter!”
“Marc and Lori were so wonderful to my Freddie. It was the perfect home away from home. They kept me updated with lots of fun photos, they are extremely responsive and even sent Freddie home with Christmas presents. I would highly recommend!’”
“Alla was a very kind person. She kept me up-to-date with my Lucy's stay with her. She has her own pups so my Lucy had others to play with. Alla did a great job watching her. I did not get to physically see her accommodations, but the photos she sent me showed her apartment as being well kept and clean. Thank you Alla. I highly recommend you.”

Stop searching now and just book Kallan. I promise you. Hes incredible. We have 2 large dogs that are a handful and Kallan handles them masterfully. He really is the kindest most gentle and caring person. We trust him implicitly and will be forever booking with only Kallan from here on out.
Audrey and Gabriel were excellent sitters for our dog Uno! They were very kind and communicative. This was our first time using their services and we would definitely use them again. They also agreed to our request for a meet and great ahead of the stay which was very much appreciated. We booked for 6 nights. They sent pictures and updates daily and Uno seemed well cared for. Highly recommended them to anyone looking for overnight boarding services! Great people.
Mandy is an amazing dog sitter. She watched my dogs for a week and sent photos everyday. They were well cared for and looked happy in all of the photos. She also administered allergy medication to one of my dogs everyday. My dogs seemed sad to leave Mandy when I picked them up! Already rebooked her for another stay!
Jack was very communicative throughout Freya’s two-week stay and handled some last-minute changes really well. Freya unexpectedly needed surgery right before her stay, so he had to manage her medications, care for her wound, and even take her to the vet a few days later to have her drain removed. He was flexible and easy to work with throughout everything, which made a stressful situation much easier for me. When I returned, Freya looked happy and comfortable and had clearly formed a really sweet bond with him. I’d absolutely recommend Jack!
I can’t recommend Blu enough! He accepted my request even with only a few days notice. He sent photos and updates throughout our days stay, and was flexible with our drop off/pick up times. It was clear she was in good hands, and was in a great mood when we picked her up. Thanks Blu!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Universal City on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,049 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Universal City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Universal City sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Universal City landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Universal City home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Universal City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Universal City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
