“Best Rover sitter to date! Candy was so affectionate and playful with my two French Bulldogs. It was clear in every update and photo that she loved my pups as if they were her own.

Sarge and Scout hope to see you again next time!”
“I didn’t have to worry about my dog at all when I left him for over a week! Emmarose took great care of my scaredy cat dog, and kept me updated every day.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone who is trustworthy, patient, and attentive. I provide reliable care, including feeding, playtime, companionship, administering medications when needed, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while you’re away. Pet care fits very well into my schedule because I currently have a flexible availability. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent companionship, feeding, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, and I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and supervised environment while following each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their needs and personality to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Universal City
Candy was wonderful with Boo Bear and Suzie Bear. Both of our dogs are seniors and have medications and special care needs, and she handled everything with patience and attention. She kept us updated while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind, and it was so nice to see how comfortable and happy the doggies were with her. We truly appreciate the care she gave them and would absolutely trust her to watch them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Universal City on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,515 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.
92% 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 TX 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.
