About: I’ve cared for dogs in every stage of life, from a 6-year-old rescue to puppies I raised and trained myself. My dogs are housebroken and crate trained, and I’m comfortable reinforcing structure and routines. I’ve also provided overnight care for large dogs with specific medication needs and frequent walk schedules, so I understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. I’m patient, calm, and respectful of each dog’s personality. My goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m flexible and able to plan my day around scheduled walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m organized and punctual, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for on time, especially when they’re used to a consistent routine. Since I provide care in my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and household rules. For walks and drop-ins, I prioritize leash safety, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets have fresh water and a calm environment before I leave. During overnight stays, I maintain their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them feeling safe while their owner is away.

“Cassi is amazing ! I am pretty picky when it comes to walking my puppy a certain way and she didn't hesitate to take the time to learn the different cues and commands I use so that she can help reinforce his training while on walks with her. She kept me updated throughout the visit and I was at ease knowing my baby was in good hands while I was away.”

About: Hi! I’m Casey :) I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and understand how important routine, gentleness, and reliability are for them. I also have experience with cat sitting and caring for multiple pets in one household. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone new, so I aim to make the process as easy and reassuring as possible. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always respect your home, your routine, and your specific care instructions. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and to give your pets the attention and care they deserve.

About: Hi, I’m Soraya! My boyfriend Alex and I are lifelong animal lovers who truly enjoy caring for pets and getting to know their unique personalities. We treat every pet we care for as if they were our own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’ve always had a passion for animals. In high school, I was involved in FFA and took Veterinary Science classes, where I gained hands-on experience learning about animal care. I’ve also worked in a veterinary environment assisting veterinary technicians in the back, as well as working at a boarding facility. These experiences have given me the opportunity to care for and interact with many different types of animals and personalities. My boyfriend has been by my side throughout my pet-care journey and has joined me for our previous Rover and boarding experiences. He absolutely loves spending time with both dogs and cats and is just as caring, attentive, and affectionate with the pets we care for. Together, we make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. We understand that every pet is different. Some are energetic and playful, while others are shy, nervous, or need a little extra patience to feel comfortable. We take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so we can provide the best care possible. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, overnight care, feeding, playtime, or simply a loving companion while you’re away, we would love to help! We prioritize following your care instructions, maintaining your pet’s routine, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. We genuinely love animals and feel incredibly lucky to be able to care for them. We would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become your trusted pet-care team! 💕🐾 With pet care in need my schedule works around your schedule! I’m pretty open and flexible and can make last minute changes if possible. I’m a veteran currently working on certificates from home. When it comes to your pet they will be safely taken care of in your home. They will have all the attention while we are there and every home is left how we entered.

About: I’m a patient, dependable, and attentive caregiver who treats every animal like family. My background in childcare has taught me to be responsible, follow routines carefully, recognize individual needs, and remain calm and patient. I understand that every animal is different, which is why I provide personalized care based on their personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m especially comfortable caring for animals, senior animals, and special-needs animals who may need extra patience, attention, reassurance, or assistance. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every animal feels happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available Monday-Friday for morning care around 7:30-9 AM, midday check-ins and walks around 12-3 PM, and evening care around 5–8 PM. Saturday I’m available all day. Sunday I’m available anytime after i get out of church. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow all feeding, walking, bathroom, medication, and special-care instructions provided by the owner. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship while also respecting the pet’s personal space and comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.

“My Bailey's home away from home!! Ok so a little background- my dog Bailey is a rescue who was physically abused by her previous owner. For this reason, she is utterly terrified of new people because she has a natural distrust for people following early life events. Kristen and her family originally spent time coming to my house to walk Bailey and spend time with her, and Bailey had been doing well with the new dog walkers! However, after learning about Bailey's concerns, Kristen thought it may improve Bailey's situation to have her spend the day at doggy daycare, and let me tell you, she and her family have done an amazing job taking care of Bailey!!! I've never seen her so happy every day when I come to pick her up (and probably even more happy to be dropped off :P). It's only been a few weeks and I can already tell Kristen and her family are making her feel at home away from home, and carefully allowing her to interact with other dogs and humans when Bailey is ready. I've been absolutely overjoyed seeing her improvement in socialization skills, and, really, just how happy and comfortable she is; makes my day! On a side note, following several meetings with a Behavioralist, I'm actively training her to help improve her anxiety and fear toward people. Kristen understands how important this is and has been ensuring Bailey is trained (in the same way I'm training her for continuity sake) while at doggy daycare, since I don't have the opportunity to train her several times throughout the day during the work week. Her obedience has improved, and better yet, she's starting to see new people with a different outlook; she's excited to make new friends! Thank you Kristen!!”

I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions carefully to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, daily walks, playtime, and giving plenty of attention and affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I strive to provide dependable, loving care and treat every dog as if they were my own baby! 🐶 I’m currently available full-time to take care of fur babies! I will be going to school sometime in August so that’s when my schedule will change a bit. My current routine allows me to provide attentive and dependable care for your babies! I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they need throughout the day. I am able to follow your pet’s normal schedule, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I believe keeping a pet’s routine consistent helps them feel comfortable and happy while their parents are away! I do have an orange cat that will be put up in his room while I take care of your babies, so no need to worry about interactions. I also have a fenced backyard so plenty of space for them to run around or go potty. And I live in a neighborhood with good walking trails.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Universal City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Universal City is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $17 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,914 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Universal City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Universal City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Universal City after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Universal City. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
