“Thank goodness for Kendi! A weight is lifted off my shoulders knowing I have someone so reliable to care for my dog! She responds quickly and gets the jobs done no problem!”
About: Hi, I’m Allyssa! I’ve been caring for both dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience walking, training, exercising, playing and socializing with dogs and cats of all ages/breeds/sizes. I am a very attentive, kind, caring and patient person. To me a dog or a cat is one hundred percent more than a pet, but an extension of you, and therefore very much a part of your family. It’s my privilege and pleasure to provide your pet with the highest quality of care and respect. Every dog or cat I’ve come in contact with I’ve treated as my own, and I take pride in giving animals the special attention that every pet deserves. I will be 100% committed to being there for you and your pet.
“This is the second time I've booked Catherine to help take care of my dog, kudo, now having compete 4 walks together. Catherine is excellent, punctual, and very considerate! Her report cards are so wonderful with plenty of pictures and videos! I'm so grateful to her for the time she takes to help me and kudo.”
“Elizabeth is beyond excellent. She is a wonderful person, and really loves animals. Our dog can be skittish around new people but he talk to her right away. She’s a gem!”
About: I grew up with two Shih Tzus and was always the designated dogsitter for my aunts and cousins. I have experience with big and small dogs. I've also taken care of both puppies and elderly dogs, and I will make sure he swallows that pill! This is my main job at the moment, so my schedule is wide open! I'm free for walks all throughout the week and can do drop-ins whenever needed. I'm also available to housesit on weekends and weekdays. I don't live with any pets of my own, so I promise to care for them the way I would my own dog. Your dog has my full, undivided attention!
“Khadijah! Thank you SO much for making us feel comfortable. Being able to come on such short notice, giving a thorough report and easing my anxieties as a dog mommy. We will 100% rebook you again! We appreciate you more than you know. Piper thanks you too :-)”
About: Many of my closest buddies are doggies! Most recently I had two toy fox terriers for a decade, I have sat with all range of breeds and ages. There is a saying about dogs and children gravitating toward a person, isn't there? My friends and clients can tell you that I am trustworthy and communicative. I am a person that has been told: "they usually don't like strangers/people/visitors, but they love you!" I have years of loving dogs, I don't have any at the moment because I recently moved back from Europe. I look forward to meeting your family member and giving them love and attention while you are away. I have my own car, a fairly flexible schedule, and can't wait to meet new furry friends.
About: Having a dog and 2 cats as a kid was the best childhood! I am home most of the day so I have lots of time to walk and play with your pup! I live with my boyfriend who also loves animals. I have been freelance dog sitting/walking for the last year through friends but looking for more furry friends here! Send me a message so we can talk more about you and your pet’s needs I work from home doing a part time job so I am mainly a home body. I am based in North Hollywood and generally service Noho, Burbank, Toluca Lake, Studio City and parts of Sherman Oaks I don’t accept animals from multiple households at once for my safety and theirs. I have multiple screen doors where they can safely watch the world outside at all the people and dogs who might pass by. I can also offer daytime sitting in someone’s home as long as my laptop and internet access is allowed!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My friends, and friends of friends, call on me whenever they need a sitter for their dog(s) or cat(s). I have experience with young and senior animals. I'm currently working part-time and have free time to take care of your pet needs when you're busy. I am an early riser, but also a night owl. I can't currently care for pets in my home for longer than a day since I live in an apartment. If needed, my place will only accommodate small dogs.
About: Hey there! My name is Shayla, and I’ve been caring for pets professionally since 2012, including working closely with celebrity clients and their beloved animals — many of whom required special attention, medical care, patience, and individualized routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone not only with your pets, but with the comfort and safety of your home I provide loving, reliable pet care with a calm and attentive approach, and I’m happy to accommodate unique schedules, routines, medications, and special requests. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking, overnight care, house sitting, and companionship visits. ✨ What sets me apart: I create a safe, low-stress, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like family. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior pets needing gentle patience and support. 🐾 Special experience with: ✔︎ Senior pets & puppies ✔︎ Special-needs and disabled pets ✔︎ Administering medicine ✔︎ Anxiety-prone pets & separation anxiety ✔︎ Maintaining routines for comfort and stability ✔︎ Providing attentive, one-on-one care I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I genuinely love taking the time to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also really love photography and sending you videos/photos throughout the day! I'm very flexible with hours, and I will always be very communicative about my schedule so you are kept informed. I spend every day taking care of animals, and am always flexible with client needs! I've been entrusted with many high-profile clients and am always respectful of others' homes, pets, and belongings. I treat every home and animal as if it were my own, with the utmost care, respect and love!
“Found David last minute! He is flexible, dependable, and can follow instruction’s. He treats my dog like his own and trust him with his knowledge and care for pets!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs, trained my own, and provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and believe every pet deserves patient, attentive, and loving care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have experience with puppies, high-energy dogs, reactive dogs, and administering oral medications. I'm committed to following your pet's routine and adapting to their individual needs so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I am currently working part time in the afternoons, so I have all morning and evenings to walk, play, and hang out with your dog! I am also available all day on weekends. When in your home, I would love to take your pets for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I have a fenced yard with a dog. Depending on your pet, I would want to speak with you on what makes your pet and you the most comfortable.
About: Caring & loving a large variety of pets since early childhood. Experience includes: Puppy & dog training; Special health needs; Senior pet care; Dog & cat pregnancy & live birth; Medication & Vet diet requirements I'm currently working part-time and will have plenty of time for attention, play and care of your fur baby. My availability is flexible and can be accommodating for many different schedules. I have a good size apartment with three friendly teacup maltese. They are indoor fur babies and love company. I have dog parks, walking trails and ample space for walking & playing as needed. If required, my home is capable of fur baby separation if preferred.
About: My Cairn Terriers (like Toto from Oz) hike Griffith and Runyon, chase squirrels, dig holes, play fetch at Weddington Park and take long walks. Sometimes we just lay in the sun or snuggle on the couch, but this is a loving home that is grain free, caters to the Fluff gang and we’re big on patience and attention. I've raised five dogs in my life - German Shepard, Black Lab, Lhasa Opso and now my Cairns. Having learned so much from each of them and the love I have for dogs in general, I'm excited to welcome your loved one into my home and help you be at ease knowing they're well cared for. I know nothing can keep you from missing your pet, but a confidence in them being comfortable and loved while you're away is a great help. ***Originally DogVacay, I’ve been with the service since 2010 and rarely open up to new clients. After a few folks moved out of town and others had kids which limited travel time, I’m opening up again. My preference would be to begin those same kind of long term care relationships with people who travel often or for larger lengths of time which allows your pup to feel as though they’re always going to a safe and familiar space with friends they know and love playing with. Working from home has allowed me to better care for my own senior pups and also gives me the freedom to spoil your loved one as well. My two friendly senior pups and I enjoy a gated back yard that still sees birds and squirrels enough to entertain them while being safe from any interactions. We have astroturf for back scratching and enjoying the sun, as well as a front yard, quiet cul de sac streets and a giant park for leisurely walks.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Universal City is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Universal City
Matthew is the best!!! The pups took an immediate liking to him and he took amazing care of our dogs. Matthew did an excellent job communicating prior to the booking and gave us some good notes for walking our little ones. And the pictures were adorable! We will definitely be booking with him again.
Natalie was great! My dog was kinda picky with his walkers but he instantly loved Natalie. Natalie walked my dog weekly and was very communicative and responsive to arranging walks. She also gave a detailed report of his walks and sent the best pictures! Thank you Natalie for your time :)
Yvonne has been wonderful, and I highly recommend her! She came for a meet and greet beforehand, which I really appreciated, and it was clear she has experience working with dogs of different temperaments. My dog can be leash and dog reactive, so it was important to find someone I could trust. She’s always punctual, communicates well, and sends a detailed report with photos shortly after each walk. I truly appreciate the great care she gives my dog and the peace of mind she provides! We’re very lucky to have her as our dog walker!
Tayler has been an absolutely wonderful dog walker and pet sitter for our family. She is incredibly reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring with our pets. Mhysa always loved seeing her, and Tayler was just as sweet and attentive with our cat, Kuzco. After several years with us, today is sadly her last regular visit because we’re moving, and we know both pets are going to miss her so much. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing they were in the care of someone we completely trusted. We couldn’t recommend Tayler more highly!
Erick has been great with Lilith! Last week was our first week with Erick as our new walker and he’s done great getting Lilith comfortable with him. He is great at communicating with me and even is thinking in advance as the temps rise to make sure we have a plan for midday walks this summer! I deeply appreciate him thinking about my dogs health and wellbeing like that!
Khadejhia is wonderful! As someone who struggles with their health and mobility, I’m so grateful to have found her! She’s available to me on short notice on some occasions when I need extra help with my pup. She is sweet, patient, and playful with my puppy and we love her!
Tauri is a gem! She recently looked after my two large dogs and my cats, and she did an amazing job. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure your pets feel safe and completely loved. She responds quickly to messages and gave me wonderful photo updates throughout the walks, and it was so clear the pups were incredibly content. From managing evening feedings and dog medication to giving them endless love, attention, and sweet cuddles, she handles it all with ease. She is reliable, professional, and has a natural gift with animals. 5 stars all the way!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Universal City on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 19,638 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Universal City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Universal City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Universal City.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Universal City. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
