“We recently used Steve and Randi to watch our Lab for five days while we went out of the country, and we are glad that we did. It was readily apparent upon meeting them that these were true dog people and that their own dog, Mika, was loved and well cared for. They welcomed our pup, who is by no means small and can be a handful, with open arms. Mika was thrilled to have a friend. Their home is very dog-friendly, both inside and out, with plenty of room in their fenced back yard for exploration. While we were away, we received daily updates and plenty of pictures. When our returning flight was delayed a day, Steve and Randi were very understanding and accommodating. This was our first experience using Rover pet sitters, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. We'd definitely recommend Steve and Randi, and will use them again in the future.”
“My sweet girl Daisy is a paraplegic and requires extra care. Celeste took amazing care of her and made her feel at home. She sent pictures and updates everyday and made me feel comfortable being away from my girl. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their pup!”
“This family was absolutely amazing! They treated my dog like it was their own! Their son was so sweet with him and cuddled with him every night. They sent me a ton of pictures every day, took my dog on walks, and made sure he was eating. I will definitely be using them again”
“My pup, Archie, and I had a great meet-an-greet with Dawn. She took the time to let Archie wander through her lovely home and get to know the backyard (Archie's favorite place). We were both looking forward to Archie's scheduled visit. Unfortunately, my husband caught the flue and we had to cancel. Dawn was absolutely charming and understanding! She is so easy to communicate with answers text messages almost immediately. I'm looking forward to rescheduling.”
“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”
“Agnes was awesome! She sent pictures every day, I wasn’t worried at all and was able to enjoy my vacation! I feel like my dog got a little vacation too…. Her house is a great set up for dogs. My dog got lots of love and affection from her family. Relieved I have a great place to take him now when I have to go out of town.”
“Katherine was just amazing for my little boys, they were a bit of a challenge but she was patient and kept them happy. I definitely recommend Katherine to watch fur babies.”
“So very greatful to have found Tammy! She took great care of our dog, paid attention to details and cared for him as if he were her own!! Would highly recommend my friends and family to book with her for their animals to have a safe place to stay when needed. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“This was my first time using a boarding site and I'm glad I did!! Kristen was very nice and professional. The house was pet friendly and from the first meeting I knew she was the right pick. She was very attentive to my dog's special needs and the personal attention of sending updates was amazing. If you are ever in this area I highly recommend her.”
“Will definitely board with her again. I have a very shy kitty and Karynne did an amazing job at letting my cat adjust to the new environment at her own pace. I can tell her and her son truly love animals too and treat them like family!”
“Tia is absolutely the best sitter hands down. Home very spacious for dogs to play, clean environment and she really loves our pets like they are her own. Tia sent multiple pictures and videos daily. I would definitely recommend tia hands down you wont find better care for your pet.”
“Kristen was great with our dog Kylo! He had a ton of fun and kept him clean and brushed. She communicated so well and was so easy to work with. Amazing experience!”
“Melissa was great with our dog. Our dog is shy and skittish but she made her feel at home. Melissa and her kids took Luna for walks. I would recommend her. We would definitely use Melissa’s services again”
“I’m so grateful for you and your family! I don’t worry at all when I’m away. I know you are going to take good care of Edgar and even better I know he has a great time! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Only sitter we need!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing with my dog, Levi! She watched him for 5 days and treated him like her own. She made sure he got plenty of walks, playtime, and even gave him a bath before coming home. he looked and smelled great! I could tell how happy and comfortable he was during his stay. Rachel kept me updated and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. highly recommend!”
“Alexus was great! Kept me informed with pictures everyday. Bucky enjoyed playing with her pup. This was the kind of activity Bucky needed to have had a great time. Will definitely look to book with her again.”
“Teryca was great! This was my first experience with Rover and she made it great. She took care of Petey like he was her own. I received regular feedback and pictures during the time Petey was in her care. Thank you so much Teryca!”
“Very friendly and easy to work with. Nice home and wasn't watching 10 dogs at the same time or crating the pups all day so I suspect my beasts had a good time.”
“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.”

Cindy is an absolute ray of sunshine! ☀️🐾 She’s outgoing, bubbly, and brings such a fun, positive energy to the pets around her! You can tell she has a genuine love for furry friends. Thank you for taking such great care of Roscoe and making his stay a paws-itively wonderful experience! 🐶💕
This is my second time leaving Cerci with Daniela! She is fantastic with our fur baby! She is amazing with communication, accomidating last min requests (like picking Cerci up from our home- thank you!!), and working with our schedule! Cerci loves spending time with her. (Daniela is great at spoiling her). I also love how Daniela sends multiple photos of Cerci so we can see how she is doing. I have taken Cerci to a few others on Rover and was left disappointed, now I won't take her to anyone else except Daniela. Im so glad she was available for us! Thank you again! We greatly appreciate you Daniela!
We had a wonderful experience! She took such great care of our two dogs and was very kind and caring. One of our dogs is very anxious, and she was so patient with him and made sure he felt comfortable and safe. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were both in such good hands while we were away. She did an amazing job, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets. We would absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️
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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Universal City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Universal City home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
