“We couldn’t be more grateful for Max! He took such amazing care of our dogs, Max and Coco, while we were away. From daily updates and photos to thoughtful attention to their routines and personalities, Our pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved during their stay. Highly recommend Max to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter—we’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Katherine’s home was amazing her backyard and her energy! She sent me pics and I had to overstay in New York and she was still able to accommodate my schedule! Thank you so much ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥”
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job watching Zoey while we took a weekend trip to San Diego for a wedding. I will definitely be using her on our next trip. Highly recommend!!!”
“Juan and his family took excellent care of our dogs while we went away for the weekend. The pictures and videos showed them eating well, having fun, being cuddled, and we were happy to hear our Max was given his meds right on schedule. We highly recommend Juan!”
“Fernando was absolutely amazing with our dog, Meatball! We went to Big Bend National Park for the weekend and had complete peace of mind knowing Meatball was in such great hands. Fernando has three dogs of his own, and they all get along so well — it felt more like a fun sleepover than just pet sitting. Meatball came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He was also great about sending pictures and updates, which meant so much to us while we were away. It’s obvious he genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. We would absolutely trust Fernando again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and communicative dog sitter! 🐾”
“Breanna and Jonathon are absolutely amazing! They did an awesome job with Peanut and Molly. My dogs were so well cared for, and I received daily updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. They treated my pups just like family—even letting them sleep with them—which meant the world to me. We’ve tried boarding before, but our dogs never seemed as happy as they were with Breanna and Jonathon. The difference was night and day! It was clear that they truly love what they do and go above and beyond to make pets feel comfortable and loved. I will definitely be using them again. They took outstanding care of our dogs, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Kristin and her family were awesome! Easy to book, great communication, updates with pictures throughout the stay. Bane and Zoe had a great time, and were clean and and happy when they got home. Not entirely sure, but they may have even gotten a bath! I swear, that's how fresh they were! We will definitely use Kristin again.”
“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!”
“Olga and her family did an amazing job. Caring for our senior dog. Lucky, I felt very comfortable, leaving him. They even know built 2 ramps so that he wouldn't have to, try to go up the stairs so they built a ramp, which is very endearing. He got lots of love. He had playtime with their dog Ozzy. I got daily photos and details, so I would say Olga was an over the top loving caretaker!”
“Brian and Suzanne took great care of Banjo. They updated us regularly on how he was adjusting and sent multiple pictures throughout his stay. This helped us feel at ease that he was being well taken care of and was comfortable in his environment. We miss him terribly when we have to leave him, but having caretakers like Brian and Suzanne help make it feel like he is getting a vacation too!”
“Excellent host to our dog Cooper. Very responsive and sent us lots of pictures of his well being over the stay. Would highly recommend and will use again in the future.”
“Maggs was nothing short of AMAZING. She took such good care of my dogs!! She updated me regularly with photos and videos. Both my pups enjoyed running around and playing outside with her labs! She does a great job on catering to each dogs needs. I highly recommend Maggs!”
“We absolutely love to use Megan when we have to go out of town. Our golden retriever has such a great time with her dogs and gets all the love he needs while we are away. Megan is sure to keep us updated with text/pictures over the whole span of his stay.”
“Michael and Alice are great! I love the videos they send - I can tell my dog is having a great time and getting lots of good play time in with other dogs. Definitely recommend!”
“Rachel was AMAZING. From the beginning she was professional and compassionate. She communicated consistently with me at all times and sent tons of photos and videos of Lesley while I was away. She was accommodating of Lesley needs and ensured her safety and comfort throughout the entire visit. Would highly recommend Rachel!”
“John took excellent care of my dog, Buckles! John sent many daily photos and videos during my trip. I have used dog sitters before, and John is by far the best. Buckles was in great hands and came home a happy boy!”
“Lauren got to know my dogs personalities. One is a small, low maintenance dog that likes kind words and an ear scratch. The other is a rough and tumble 8 month old active dog. I could tell that they both got what they needed. The pictures were clearly showing them in their settings- outside and inside. I was very happy. And so we’re they.”
“This was my pups' first stay with Katy and the first time they had stayed somewhere outside my home without me (My in-home petsitter recently retired). Katy immediately took them for a walk to get them used to her and they forgot all about me. When I picked them up, they were tired and happy. I've already booked their next stay with her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Universal City
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.
