“Kendi is amazing! She is so sweet with our boys and always makes sure they are happy and comfortable before she leaves. It’s so great to have someone trustworthy to take care of them. We highly recommend her!!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter with 12+ years of caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small animals. I’ve volunteered mostly within the fostering system, caring for both dogs and cats, giving me experience with pets of all ages and care needs! I work from home with a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and personalized care while you’re away. I’ll take lots of pictures, too! As someone who’s self-employed, I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend more quality time with the pets in my care. I work from home, which means I’m more available for walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins, so your pet gets plenty of attention without spending long hours alone. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. I try to keep every pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and preferences you share with me, all while making sure they get plenty of attention and care :) For boarding, I have a friendly, highly trained Aussie Shepherd who does well with other animals. Please note, I only accept only 1-2 guests at a time to ensure quality care for your loved ones!
“Emma is really kind and attentive. She was willing to do a video call with me before her first walk so we could get to know each other. Will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
“This was my first time working with Lane and I am so happy with the experience. Her communication was quick and so professional and also very detailed. Kept me in the loop as the appointment went on.”
“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: Hello, fellow dog lovers! My name is Jose Manuel, and for the past decade, I’ve dedicated my life to making tails wag, paws dance, and furry friends feel safe, loved, and happy. As a Paw-some Caregiver, I don’t just watch over dogs—I become their best buddy, adventure partner, and cuddle provider. With 10 years of experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I understand that every dog is unique. Whether it’s energetic playtime, peaceful walks, belly rubs on demand, or a little extra patience with shy pups, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. I’m also experienced in ensuring every pup feels right at home—even when their humans are away. Your furry friend deserves more than just a sitter; they deserve a companion who treats them like family. Let’s make their days full of fun, love, and plenty of tail wags! Ready to give your pup the best care ever? Let’s chat! Full Availability for Pet Care I understand that every family and pet has unique needs, which is why I offer complete availability to accommodate any schedule. Whether it's day or night, weekdays or weekends, I’m ready to take care of your furry friend whenever you need me. A Safe and Fun Space for Your Pet Although I don’t have a yard, I offer a dedicated recreational area designed for your pet to feel free and enjoy playtime without interruptions. This space is exclusively for their fun and well-being, ensuring they receive the attention and entertainment they need. Additionally, your pet’s nutrition and well-being will always be a priority, with meals tailored to their specific dietary needs. I don’t have small children or other pets at home, allowing me to provide exclusive and personalized care, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. Your loyal companion, whether feline or canine, will receive all the love and dedication they deserve. Here, they will feel right at home!
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.
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.
“John was extremely good with the dogs, very knowledgeable on handling them. Communication was excellent and John was very flexible with walking them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”
About: As an experienced pet caretaker, I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be difficult. Rest assured that they’ll get the same amount of attention, respect, & care you would give them yourself. I’m currently available and have a flexible schedule. I am always open to work with clients schedules. I know how important routines are in a pets life. I understand how important respect and privacy are valued while visiting with pets. You can feel confident that I’ll take great care in your absence.
“Sarah was wonderful. On day 2 the dogs were already sitting at the window waiting for her! I had surgery and she stepped into walking duties. I’m healed now and walking the dogs myself, but I can’t help but feel the twinge of their disappointment that I’m not Sarah. Highly recommend (speaking for me and the dogs)”
“Adrianne was wonderful, her daily updates and pictures were very appreciated. I have a beagle and she was familiar with her breed, and my dog loved her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: My family has always had dogs. Both big and small. Caring for dogs is like second nature. I’d love to help you with your canine family. I’m here to help, so working within your schedule is important. While I do work part-time, my schedule is flexible so I can be there when you need me. I want to make your pets as comfortable as possible. Whatever concerns or instructions you have, I take seriously and implement to create a smooth transition for your loved ones.
“Lexie is a very lovely person and a dog lover. She took Ginger every day for a much longer walk that was expected so that she could get a bunch of exercise. And, she was entirely responsible about coming within the requested times for all of the visits. She consistently filled out the reports and included great photos of Ginger. We trust Lexie 100% and recommend her 100%!”
“Charisse did a great job working to connect with our dogs as well as keeping the consistency of what we practice with them. Charisse was very thoughtful on the questions she asked to ensure she would provide the love and care we provide.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Universal City is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Universal City
Jaislyn is very friendly, responsible, and easy to talk to and she clearly loves dogs. Our pittie was obsessed with her from the second she met her, and we could tell from the photos how happy and loved our dog was while we were gone. She left our place very neat, communicated issues that popped up at our place while we were away, and handled things for us without complaint. We would absolutely hire her again!
It’s hard for me to trust most people with my dog and he doesn’t take to everyone but Kate made the experience much less nerve wracking. She was very communicative and sent photos soon after the walk, which helped with my nerves. Kate was attentive to all of my very specific instructions and I highly recommend booking them especially if you have an overly anxious dog.
Victoria has been great with my dog Brandi. She goes above and beyond to ensure she feels comfortable before her walk and brings her on little adventures when it is too hot outside. I appreciate her care for my pup, I know she's in good hands. Thank you, Victoria. 😊
Adam is the dog whisperer of dog whisperers. Our pitbull Camilla is normally hesitant to walk with a new person and will not venture far away from home the first time, but she was immediately smitten with Adam and they walked together for the entire hour! We have used so many dog walkers. This is the first and only time Camilla felt this comfortable with someone. We’re so happy we found someone our dog is excited to walk with. He didn’t even need to use treats to coax her. Adam is a needle in a haystack type of dog walker for the type of dog we have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Universal City on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 19,237 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.

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:
- 88% 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.
