“This was the first time leaving our puppy with anyone, and we were nervous. Rae and her family took great care of our dog so much so I think he wanted to go back 😀. We will definitely be using them again. They treated our dog like family.”
“ANOTHER fabulous dog-cation! Vinter loves his time with Steve & Randi and Mika! He knows exactly where we are when we pull up to their driveway and he RUNS to their front door ready to play! We always receive LOTS of photos and Vinter is so happy and comfortable and cared for while we are away. Thank you so much!”
“Not only was Wendy great with our dog, she willingly and patiently worked with us when our flights were delayed. I would absolutely utilize her services again, without any hesitation. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Wrigley!!”
“Great communication everyday. Printed pictures of photo shoot with my boy. Family and doggie love the whole week. He was so tired when I got him from all the fun he had, I’m sure of it. Celeste is amazing and she really cares for the dogs!!”
“Alan and Lynn have a fantastic setup inside their home for dogs. They keep their house and backyard very clean. Our two little dogs were happy when we picked them up and they cut and buffed one of my dogs nails, saving us a trip to the Vet. Alan and Lynn kept in close touch with us, sending pictures throughout the days our dogs were in their care. They replied in a timely manner whenever I sent them a message. That is a huge plus.”
“Cassie did an amazing job with Emerald. She communicated consistently and let us know how things were going. Even sent pictures, Thanks Cassie, Emerald had a great time.”
“Had a wonderful experience with Tia! She was caring, attentive, and treated my dog like her own. She kept me updated throughout the stay and made sure my pup was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and loving pet sitter. I will absolutely book with her 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!”
“I would highly recommend Agnes. Our dog had a great time there with her family and her dogs. Agnes sent us pictures of Wally each day. She also was great about giving him his vitamins and special food. He came home happy and well adjusted. I'll definitely be using her services again!”
“We are so thankful for Kristen watching our dog Peanut! We could tell that he was loved on and played with the entire time. Her daughter even did a training session with him! She sent a ton of photos daily to let us know what Peanut was up to. Would definitely recommend Kristen to watch your animals! ☺️”
“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! 🐾💛”
“10 out of 10... Highly Recommend! This was my first time using this sitter, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. She took amazing care of my fur baby and truly spoiled him all weekend! He made himself right at home and seemed just as comfortable in her home as he is in his own. She was incredibly loving and attentive, and I could tell he was receiving lots of affection and care. She also sent multiple photos and updates throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease since I was using a new sitter for the first time. Knowing he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for made all the difference. I would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 10 out of 10!”
“She was amazing! She communicated with me throughout all my 🐶 stay. He had a great time! I would fully recommend her. He got to meet really cute chihuahuas and interact with other dogs which was very helpful”
“I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!! Tammy was great! We are truly blessed to have met her and to have had her watch our fur babies. We were able to enjoy our time with our family without any worries. She kept us informed of all the fun they were having with pictures and videos. One less worry for us to think about the next time we have to go out of town. Thank you Tammy for all you did for us!”
“Our dog Astro was in great hands with Karynne! She spent quality time with him while we were away giving us the peace of mind that we needed while on vacation. He went on daily walks and had plenty of play time. She kept us updated daily with pictures and texts of how Astro was doing. We were so happy with her service and will be booking with her again!”
“Cindy is the perfect person when is comes to taking care of your pets. She’s very sweet. She sent me pictures of my babies and is great with communication. I never felt sure a relief, I was able to enjoy my son’s birthday weekend knowing my dogs were getting the love and comfort they deserve. I’ll definitely be dog boarding with her again.”
“This was our first Rover experience and we found a wonderful sitter in Ashley! Our dog has separation anxiety and we were worried that being in a completely foreign environment would wig her out, but she settled in nicely with their dog and human pack. I appreciated that they tended to her needs: daily walks, being cool with letting her on the furniture, and allowing her to sleep in their bedrooms since she likes to be near humans all the time. I received prompt replies when I checked in and messages with photos each day. Thanks to Ashley’s kids too, I love that Ashley and her family are all in it together, this is a household that truly loves dogs!”

Celeste was an awesome sitter! She treated Lucy as her own and kept me updated daily with pictures and the things she had done. It was the first time I had ever left Lucy, but she made my anxiety subside with daily accounts. I definitely plan on leaving Lucy with her again if I ever need to and I would recommend Celeste to others as the best sitter they can find!
Lasaiah was very good with Chewy. He immediately took to her and he usually takes his time figuring people out. Communication was good and she updated us on how he was doing during his stay. When I returned to pick Chewy up, he was very happy and energetic. I could tell he had a great time.
This was our first time boarding our two dogs, who are 8 and 9 years old, so I was very nervous. From the moment I met Steve and Randy, I felt relieved knowing they were in good hands. They have taken wonderful care of our dogs and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier with their care. They are wonderful sitters—highly recommend! Five stars! 👍🐶❤️
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,533 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.
