About: I've been working with animals for the past 5 Years! I started as a dog daycare attendant for a year where I learned how to read dog body language and behavior as well as how to handle emergency situations with dogs. I then became a full time pet sitter on my own and would watch all kinds of animals from household reptiles, small animals, cat, and of course dogs! After 1 year of this I switched to part time sitter to become a full time dog trainer! I trained for a year before becoming a manager at a pet hotel. I love my job to this day and still care for dogs and cats at my current job! I'm currently a stay at home mom for my babies so I am always home a ready to provide care! I usually (as weather permits of course) take a morning walk between 8-10am with my dog and my boarding friends, hang out around the house and backyard until our evening walk before bed around 8-10pm after the sun is down! I am constantly boarding dogs in my home so I do have extra crates if needed otherwise I only have 1 dog of my own who is a St. Bernard and is pretty lazy so he will be there to keep my boarding dogs company but also knows to nap if the other dogs need a break from playing. When I go to clients homes I always find a way to occupy my time with my clients and keep my attention on those animals!
“Renee was an excellent dog walker! Renee made sure they got their walks and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We truly appreciate her help and highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!”
“An amazing experience! She took care of my pup and my cats at home! I can’t thank her enough for the amazing service person provided especially on such short notice! Thank you again!”

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: I'm new to Rover but NOT new to watching/caring for animals! I've taken care of animals for a long time. I grew up on a farm, and did chores for the chickens, sheep, horses, and of course, dogs! I now pet sit for friends and colleagues' cats and dogs. My husband and I don't have my own animals right now, so we enjoy getting to take care of other people's fur babies. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I like to know your expectations, and make sure you and your pet get exactly what you need! I have watched dogs in my apartment on multiple occasions. The apartment complex is dog friendly, with doggie bags on the sidewalk and a nice little dog park as well!

I am a stay at home mom so I am available during school hours during the week! I will play and hang out with your friend for however long you would like me there to make them comfortable. I will walk dogs as much as is needed for their activity level
About: I've been raised around pets my whole life. There has not been a point in time when I didn't have the responsibility of caring for a dog or cat. I currently take care of our family cat, Vogue. I have been in care for dogs for years, including our Cane Corso! Though I have my availability as open daily, Monday-Friday I’m available from 5PM-10PM and Sundays 6AM-10AM. Saturdays will be subjective to availability, so please inquire! Since I only offer dog walking, the most I can say here is that my home is pet friendly with enough space for my family and my cat!

I respect all clients homes/pets as if they were my own. I love all animals so much and I want to take care of others!!!
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.
“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.”

Andrew came in and helped us last minute and I’m so grateful. Great communication and he was able to make the dogs comfortable even though we didn’t have time for a previous meet and greet. He sent pics and details and was respectful of our home. I’m so glad we booked him and would book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Universal City on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,929 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Universal City.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Universal City. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
