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.”
“Zeus’s new favorite person! I think Zeus might actually be disappointed to be home with me because Dawn spoiled him so much! She did an amazing job looking after him, keeping me updated the whole time, and handling everything flawlessly. If you need a pet sitter who will treat your fur baby like royalty, Dawn is the one!”
“Ginger was well taken care of by Kristen and her family. How do I know?? It was the first time she came from a dogsitter that she was not stressed and anxious and took days to calm down.. Ginger was happy and calm from the moment we picked her up.They treated her like one of their own and even sent us lovely pictures of her enjoying her stay with them. So very grateful we found Kristen and happy too she is so close by!!! Will definitely be using her again in the future and recommend to friends.”
“OMG PHENOMENAL! From beginning to end she was amazing, I had no worries at all. I was updated multiple times a day with pictures. My fur babies got nice long walks, love and attention. She was very attentive. We will definitely use her again.”

I really appreciated the communication and attention to detail. Highly recommend Pamela and would definitely book with her again!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience and could not be happier with the care our dog received! From the very beginning, Emma welcomed our girl with open arms and treated her like family. It was clear how much love and attention she gives to the pets in her care. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and comfortable our dog was. What stood out even more was how knowledgeable she is — she took the time to explain her background and experience, which made us feel even more confident leaving our baby with her. When we picked our dog up, she looked completely comfortable, relaxed, and right at home, which says everything. We are beyond grateful for the amazing care and would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”

“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!”
“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!”
“I have absolutely no idea where to start. Tia is the best sitter that I have ever had for my boys. She pays close attention to everything, sends you pictures throughout the day, updates you of any changes in schedules and in general communicates. Before their stay, Tucker and Thor were able to meet Tia and Maverick. She is open, genuine and just overall gives off good vibes. Maverick is well behaved and acted as the welcoming committee. I just appreciate her so much. When you book with her, you will never be disappointed.”

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!
Candy was GREAT! Not only she take our booking last minute, but she made sure that our sweet boy had the best stay that he could! She was very detailed in making sure that Aladdin was well taken care of and felt at home during his stay. Candy also sent us multiple updates throughout the day so we had a snapshot of how he was doing while we were away. She also mad sure that during his booking he was not left alone for an extended period of time. I would definitely recommend Candy if you need a sitter for your pet. I know we will be utilizing her services whenever we can!
Mechea was a great sitter for my dog Liko! She communicated regularly and promptly from the booking throughout his entire stay. She made us both feel comfortable and has such a pleasant demeanor. I would absolutely rebook if she’s willing to host Liko again in the future. 🤗

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 .

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.
