“We had a fantastic experience with Randi and Steven, who treated our dog as if she were their own. They provided us with regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely book with them again.”

“Wendy was great! Our girls were well taken care of by Wendy (and her family). I got pictures every day and messages where she let us know how everyone was doing. We will definitely have Wendy watch them again if the need arises.”
“Celeste was so sweet with my baby! 💕 She was very communicative and patient as Ella was a little shy at first. I could tell she cared about her as her own. Definitely booking with Celeste again!”

“We had a good dog meeting at first, so just loved that. Once Layla was dropped off I was given update photos. So I like that part a lot. She seemed happy once she was comfortable. I will be using them again.”

“Kristen is always available to take care of my puppy when I have to leave town. I never have to worry about my puppy because I know she's in good hands. Thanks Kristen!”

“Lasaiah did a wonderful job with our two girls. They came home happy and nurtured. Lasaiah picked them up and dropped them off which was a huge help. She has positive energy and we’d definitely reach out to her first again the next time we’re in town. Thank you, Lasaiah!”

“Sophie thoroughly enjoyed her time with Katherine, her husband, and their fur babies. I very much appreciated getting daily updates with pictures & videos. They were very accommodating and had plenty of toys and a large backyard that helped keep Sophie entertained and get her exercise. I highly recommend.”

“Cassie did a awesome job keeping me updated and lots of pictures. My dog Lena had a great time meeting and playing with her new friends. I thought she would be sad and all clingy on me when I got back from my trip. She was happy when she saw me but then acted like I never left So she obviously was telling me she had a great time!! Thanks you Cassie”

“We just love Agnes and her Family!! And Ollie especially loves Daisy!! Our Ollie walks right in like he’s part of the family!! She always sends us updates and pictures of our lil guy enjoying his days with her!! It’s comforting knowing he’s so well cared for and loved while we are gone!!”

“Melissa was awesome! Bella is my rescue dog that I have only had for a couple months. I needed someone to watch her at the last minute and Melissa jumped right in to help me. Bella is still very apprehensive because of her previous life. When we dropped her off, she was very anxious which made us worry about leaving her. Melissa knew exactly how best to care for her. She immediately put my mind at ease by letting me know how she was doing and taking pictures and videos. She also took Bella on 2 walks a day - which she loves. Because of Melissa I was able to enjoy my weekend out of town and not worry about how Bella was doing. I will definitely use Melissa again in the future.”

“Excellent communication, sent updates and photos. Asked about the pup before agreeing to service. Has other calm small dogs who did not act aggressive at drop off. Highly recommend. 💗”


“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. She provided great communications and a smooth drop off and pick up. Above all, her professional yet easy-going and incredibly welcoming personality made me feel immediately comfortable leaving my pups in her care. Thank you Candy! Sarge and Scout hope to see you again next time!”

“Dawn is absolutely wonderful! Dawn took exceptional care of my dog, Neci, and truly treated her like her own. Even when a hiccup occurred on my end, Dawn was incredibly understanding, patient, and kind throughout the entire experience. She went above and beyond to make sure Neci was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It’s clear that Dawn genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing Neci was in such caring hands. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and compassion, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again or recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter. Thank you, Dawn! 🐾💛”

“Kiya had such a great time with John and his pup Cain. I’m sure she wore herself out and was spoiled with attention and love while she was there. So glad she was well taken care of.”

“Kristen and her family treated Kiko so well during his overnight stay. They took him on a hike, and cared for him like their own dogs. They sent regular photo updates and he came home tired and happy. Thank you so much. Will definitely be using their services again:”

“Mike did a superb job taking care of our Niko‼️He sent us updates and videos and kept us informed on how Niko was doing. Our doggie loves to play with his and Mike always pays special attention to him. Thank you and you'll always be my top 1st choice ‼️”

“Karynne is a great sitter! My dog likes a car ride and Karynne took him to places on her car. She sent me updates and photos everyday. I appreciate that she took care of my dog very well!”

“Her family provided amazing care of Atlas. She kept in communication throughout his entire stay. My baby is terrified of storms, she kept him calm and relaxed while away from home. 5 stars isn’t enough. Thank you so much for the care you showed Atlas.”

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 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 1,527 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.
