“I obviously HATE leaving my pup at home while I’m at work. But I feel so relieved knowing that I have Elizabeth to come check on her. Elizabeth is personable, great with my dog, and always responds to me quickly. Thank you Elizabeth!”

“Adam was awesome! We came back to very happy dogs and Adam sent us plenty of pictures to let us know how happy our dogs were. We have large, high energy dogs so this was no easy task! Adam definitely went above and beyond what was expected!!”

“Joanne took great care of our cat when we are out of town! From the moment we connected, our communication was smooth and timely. During the visitation period, Joanne often sends cute videos of our cat along with many cute pictures and daily updates. She was also very accommodating when I had some issues connecting with Rover while traveling in another country, and went the extra mile working with me and keeping us connected. She left our apartment in great condition. What’s more, Joanne is great with cats and my cat loves her! I would love to work with her again.”


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.

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!

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 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 :)
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with fur babies and at one point had four dogs at once, so caring for dogs has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. 🐾 My experience goes beyond being a pet parent. I’ve worked part-time at a dog boarding facility while attending vet tech classes to go to Veterinary school, giving me hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and needs. I also have experience with dog sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, exercise, and providing lots of love and attention. My love for animals is genuinely a part of who I am. I’ve even offered to walk my neighbors’ dogs and take them along on hikes simply because I enjoy spending time with them! My compassion for animals is also one of the reasons I chose a vegan lifestyle. Being on Rover gives me an opportunity to do something I truly love while being helpful, dependable, and trustworthy for other pet parents. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person you’re trusting with your fur baby, and I want every owner to know their pet is being cared for as if they were my own. It’s also meaningful for me personally because working with animals again brings me closer to a dream I’ve carried with me for years—returning to veterinary school and continuing my journey of caring for animals. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, an adventure partner, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone they can feel safe and comfortable with, I’d love to be that person for them. 🐶🐾 Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I’ve always structured my schedule around my own dogs’ needs. My fur babies are like my kids, so their walks, meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and overall well-being are priorities—not something I simply fit in when I have extra time. I would approach caring for your fur baby the same way. I’m very mindful of keeping dogs on the routine they’re already comfortable with, and I’ll plan my schedule around their needs and any instructions you provide. I’m also the pet parent who loves including my dogs in my day whenever possible! With your permission and depending on your pup’s personality and routine, I’d be happy to include them in dog-friendly activities like walks, hikes, outdoor adventures, or even a dog-friendly shopping trip. 🐾 Whether your pup loves being active and exploring or prefers a quieter, more relaxed routine, their individual needs will always come first. My goal is for them to feel loved, included, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make their fur baby feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible while their parent is away. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I’ll do my best to maintain their normal routine—including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications or special instructions, and of course plenty of love and attention. 🐾❤️ I’m very attentive and timely, and I understand that every dog is different. No request or routine is “too much” when it comes to making sure your fur baby receives the care they’re accustomed to. I’ll carefully follow any instructions provided and pay attention to their behavior, comfort level, and individual needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I believe communication is extremely important, so I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and being well cared for. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel like their routine hasn’t been disrupted just because you’re away. My goal is to give them dependable, loving care while giving you peace of mind. 🐶
“Catherine has watched my cat multiple times now and I can’t recommend her more! I got videos of my cat purring so loud, he clearly had a great time with her. Super reliable and easy to work with, Catherine is great!!”

“Ginneh has become an integral part of our little family, taking care of our cat Lou for us when out of town. She exceeded all of my expectations and always goes further to make Lou happy. She brought him a laser that is his absolute favorite. Because of Ginneh I do not have to worry about leaving my little guy because he’s in the best possible hands. Thank you Ginneh!”
“Stephany is so great with my kitty! We rebook her every time and I appreciate that she has no trouble jumping in with meds when needed! She’s so caring and attentive!”

“Absolutely amazing cat sitting! We truly love and fully trust Dayna with our boys! She is kind, gentle, responsible, caring, and reliable. Hard to find people with all these qualities and more.”


“Excellent job! Sarah was on time and attentive to my older cat’s needs. House was neat and clean (pet areas), and my cat was happy. I loved the pictures, which were not easy to get - much appreciated.”

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.
“Jesslin has been punctual and reports precisely what she has done during her visits. She also goes the extra mile when needed to ensure my cats’ well being. I recommend her highly.”

My Golden Nova absolutely loves Lane. I have been booking with her for a couple of months now and she is hands down one of the best pet care takers I’ve had the privilege to come across. Great communication, great updates and always sends the best pictures. I never feel uneasy when I know she is the one caring for Nova, truly appreciate her.

Mia is a life saver. Booked way last minute and she was able to help out with my two bengal boys. They really enjoyed her company and playtime. I can tell how the energy was by how the boys respond to us coming home afterwards and they were totally chill. Mia moved to the top of the sitter list and takes awesome photos and she asked questions as needed which was appreciated and even offered to buy new toys for them since she wasn’t aware how feral the boys get with their toys. She’s a delight and so good with pets and a good human highly recommended.

Alisa was wonderful with Bodhi! She was kind, attentive, and clearly comfortable with puppies. Bodhi seemed happy and relaxed after their time together, and I really appreciated how well she followed his routine and instructions. I’d definitely recommend Alisa and would be happy to have her watch Bodhi again!

We Love having Hanna as our pet sitter. She is so kind and thoughtful and you can genuinely tell how much she cares for our puppy Sol! She is very attentive to detail and all the instructions we leave for her and she follows them to the T. She is respectful of our home and a very considerate person overall. We feel so comfortable knowing our puppy is taken care of during the day while we are at work. It’s such a peace of mind knowing Hanna is the one to care for Sol.

Ashley was fantastic as always!! She took great care of my little guy and made sure to be extra accommodating with my apartment building’s fire alarm testing—she made sure that through the noise he was comfortable and at ease. She communicated extremely well about potential concerns with a red spot on his ear and gave clear pictures to assist! Ashley is a 12/10!!!

Katrina is wonderful! She gave so much attention to our cats, taking the time to play with the more outgoing one and putting on Cat TV for the more ornery one 😹 She sent really nice pictures that both made us feel good and gave us some laughs, and she is super reliable and responsible.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Universal City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
