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!
About: Hi pet parents! My experience stems from years of being around so many different breeds of animals. Senior care is by far my favorite. Even near the end, we all crave love. My beloved Samson was given all the care that any senior dog would have wanted-a present,patient, and full-of-love owner. Although, I adore and have a special heart for my senior dogs, I welcome all breeds with open arms. They are truly our angels and would be too lost without them I'm currently flexible to work seven days a week, at all hours. When my weelky routine changes I will let you know as soon as possible. Your trust are in my hands. I currently live in a two bed, one bath apartment. Plenty of space to play or relax depending on the animal.
About: 🐾 「 ✦ Hello, Fur Parents! ✦ 」 🐾 Hi! I'm Kimberly, a work-at-home mom with a flexible schedule and a lifelong love of animals. I currently specialize exclusively in drop-in pet care, giving your pets personalized attention while allowing them to stay happy, comfortable, and relaxed in their own home. 🏡💕 I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so my goal is to make things as easy as possible for both you and them. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, meals, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, and other basic needs based on your instructions. 📷 And yes, you’ll get updates! I love sending photos and visit updates so you can see exactly how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. Be prepared for some very cute pictures! 🐶 Experience With All Kinds of Pets Our own family has included dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, a turtle, and a lizard, so my animal-care experience goes well beyond dogs and cats. I’m comfortable caring for a variety of pets and personalities, from energetic pups who are thrilled to see a visitor to shy kitties who prefer that I earn their trust from across the room first. 🐱 🐾 「 ✦ Drop-In Visits May Include: ✦ 」 🐾 • Feeding and refreshing water • Potty breaks and backyard time • Playtime, cuddles, and companionship • Litter box cleaning • Basic medication according to your instructions • Care for cats, dogs, and many small pets • Photos and updates after visits 📸 • Bringing in packages or mail and other small pet-related household tasks while you're away I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pet feel safe and happy and follow your care instructions closely. Whether you're away for the day, working long hours, or heading out of town, I'd love to help keep your pets comfortable and cared for right where they feel best: at home. 🐾❤️ I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care an easy and natural part of my daily routine! 🐾 I’m able to schedule drop-in visits throughout the day and can often accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I enjoy getting out of the house, spending time with animals, and giving them some love and attention while their families are away. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break and meal, some playtime, or simply a little companionship, I’m happy to work their normal routine into my day. 💕 Since I exclusively offer drop-in visits, I care for pets right where they’re most comfortable: in their own home! 🏡🐾 I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and household routines. Safety is always a priority. I make sure doors, gates, crates, and other designated areas are secure before I leave, and I’m mindful of each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I never force interaction with a nervous or shy pet and am happy to let them warm up to me at their own pace. I also send photos and updates after visits so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re 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.”
“Brianna has been such an easy sitter! She has a great personality and Bo loved when she visited, I would definitely book her again and hopefully sooner than later. If you want a worry free dog sitter, reach out to Brianna! She is flexible and keeps up with communication!”
About: I worked as a kennel tech for a dog trainer for 2 years and have been volunteering with a dog rescue that saves abused and neglected dogs for the past 6 years. These experiences, as well as raising my own dogs, have given me the knowledge to work with most dogs, but my passion is working with fearful, anxious, and reactive dogs. Working on their time to gain their trust is my specialty and passion. I have experience working through basic obedience, counter conditioning, confidence building, muzzle training, gear shyness, and cooperative care. I also have experience working with dogs that require more intensive care due to feeding routines (such as making homemade food or strict feeding schedules with medications) and grooming maintenance (frequent or routine baths due to coat type or skin conditions). Know that under my care, your pup will be with someone who understands them as an individual and can meet them where they are at. For Walks/Drop Ins: I have pretty varied availability throughout the day on weekdays due to my work schedule. For Housesitting: I typically need to be out of the house anywhere from 4-10 hrs depending on my shift at work. Your dog's comfort as well as yours are my top priorities, so I do require a meet and greet before any service I provide. This allows me to meet your pet and see their behavior before a service, and lets you see how your pet feels around me. I provide daily updates with pictures, with the ability to provide more frequent updates at your request. I also strictly follow any instructions and routines laid out for me regarding a pet's care.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat of my own! Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m new to the area and excited to meet other pet lovers in the community! In addition to caring for my own pets, I regularly pet sit for family members when they travel, so I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their usual routines while their people are away. I also have experience administering medications and caring for my dog with epilepsy, so I understand that some pets need a little extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I’m happy to work with you to understand your pet’s individual needs and make sure they receive thoughtful, reliable care. I’m open to all kinds of pet care, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while you’re away! Whether your pet is an energetic pup who needs a good walk, a senior pet who needs a slower pace, or a shy kitty who just needs some company, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know firsthand that pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱💕 I’m currently a master’s student and work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m home with my own pets most of the day and typically don’t leave them alone for more than 2–4 hours at a time. Having a dog with epilepsy has also made me especially mindful of providing attentive, consistent care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s individual routine and needs, whether that means daily walks, drop-in visits, daytime companionship, or caring for them while you’re away. I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved! In My Home: I have a fenced-in backyard and three friendly dogs who may be happy to have a new playmate! I’ll make sure any introductions are safe and appropriate for your pup’s personality and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playing with other dogs or prefers relaxing and getting one-on-one attention, I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs and keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. I want your pup to feel at home while you’re away! In Your Home: I’ll follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. Whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to provide the care your pets need. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your furry family members, and I’ll treat both with respect and care!
“Dog Walker Review I couldn’t be happier with Barbara! They have been a true lifesaver for me and my dog. From the very first walk, she demonstrated professionalism, care, and an obvious love for animals. My dog comes back happy and well-exercised every time. I highly recommend Barbara!”
“Lauren was very approachable and I am so thankful that she walked my furbaby Kavik last minute. Kavik really needs exercise and he really did have a great one. I recommend her to everyone, and I will get her again for sure!”
“I had to leave out of town for the day and contacted her to take my Dobie for 2 walks. She make sure that my baby girl is greatly taken care of even put food down for her and gave her a snack. Gave me updates, will def use her again. Thanks for taking care of my spoiled 80lb baby.”
“Hannah was amazing! From the meet and greet to walking Krispy and Nez around our neighborhood! We found our forever dog walker/pet sitter!! So blessed and thankful for Hannah! ?”
About: Hi! My name is Alicea and I have always had a passion for animals since childhood. I was a pet pro at PetSuites of San Antonio Airport for 2 years where the detailed and gentle care of fur babies was top priority including pups and kittens who have unique needs that require medication, extra potty walks, or extra special loving. I’m very responsive and provide updates consistently. Please feel free to reach out! I’m studying psychology online currently. I go to the gym and hang out with friends occasionally, but my schedule is very open and I can even accept last minute pet care! I follow instructions meticulously. I know every pet requires a unique approach and although caring for them makes my heart happy, I still take the job very seriously.
About: With over 65 5-star reviews, I take pride in providing attentive, loving, and reliable care for every dog that comes into my home. I treat all guest dogs like family—offering plenty of personal attention, playtime, and comfort while closely following your specific routines and instructions so your pet feels right at home. I am deaf, so please don't be startled when we meet! I can lip-read if you speak slowly and clearly, and I speak okay as well. If there is ever anything we don't understand, we can easily text each other! My family and I are home most of the time, meaning your dog will never be left alone for long (1 to 4 hours maximum if we step out). We offer a cozy, loving environment with plenty of space to roam inside and a fully fenced backyard for daily play. Doggy Daycare & Boarding: Hosted in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Includes a fully fenced yard, outdoor fans to keep pups cool during Texas heat, external security cameras, and filtered water to care for your dog's skin and hydration. Walks & Drop-In Visits: Neighborhood walks around your block or mine (typically a comfortable 1-mile / 20-minute route tailored to your dog's pace). Constant Care: Frequent potty breaks every 2–4 hours, constant access to fresh water, and furniture-friendly lounging spots indoors. I'm currently working part time. I have free time in mornings and late evenings, some Fridays, Saturdays and some weekends. I can do my house sitting, my house day care, go to your house to check on pets and walking. I have fenced yard for the dog to run and play. Quiet street. I have security cameras. I have water filter to protect dog's skins
“Velma was very timely and consistently sent great action photos and had great communication with me for my entire multi day trip. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“Super communicative and truly takes the time to ensure the little details to make sure your baby has the best experience! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I have ten years of pet sitting experience with animals of all types, breeds, and sizes, a year of Kennel Tech experience, and have had pets of my own practically since birth. What can I say? I love animals! I have experience with puppies/kittens, elderly pets, and special needs animals, including diabetic and hearing/sight impaired animals. I am focused and pay attention to detail to ensure that your pet is taken care of the way they would if you were home. I have a regular daysitting client from 10am to 2pm every weekday, but I work from home, so I can be with your pet nearly 24/7 and ensure their full needs are met. Your pet will be cared for exactly the way you would if you were home! Instructions are meticulously followed and lots of love is given to ensure your fur baby is as comfortable and safe as possible.
About: Hello, My name is Sarah and my wife is Selina 🌈 You get two pet sitters for the price of one! We would be delighted to take care of your four legged babies while you are away or even just to walk them and check in on them. As a pet owner, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. I want to give you peace of mind that I treat all pets as if they were my own (and I treat mine like gold). My moto is pets are family and therefore should be treated with love and respect. We have had many pets growing up and currently are owners of a Maltese mix named Mavis. We regularly take her to dog parks, lakes, and dog friendly places. Mavis used to be underweight. After working with her food allergies we were able to find the perfect balance for her and now she is at a stable 19lbs. She has skin and digestive sensitivities so we know what it’s like to care for many conditions. She enjoys being around people and other dogs. Mavis also make friends easily and is always ready to play. Information you should know about us: We do not smoke or vape. Sarah works from home so your fur baby will always be with one of us. Also, we don’t leave Mavis alone for more than 3 hours at a time so in order to make this manageable, Selina will help take the dogs out and vice versa. Either way, your pet will have the proper attention that they need. Selina’s background: She has worked at an animal hospital caring for dogs, cats, turtles, and Guinea pigs. She has experience in performing temperament tests to make sure your dog will get along with ours. When we house sit we establish a visit to meet you and your pet. We can care for dogs, cats, and other pets you may have. We bring in the daily mail, take out trash & recycling, water plants, as well as perform special requests you may have. *If you contact us we will assume you are gay friendly 🌈 Since Sarah works from home she is available a majority of the day. We are up early so if your pet has an early morning routine, we have you covered. House sitting: We will visit your pets 2x a day or as needed based on your request. We will do our best to minimize pet destruction by moving items out of the way. From experience, some dogs tend to chew on items their owners have never seen them chew on when they are not around (e.g., DVD cases, remote controls, books, clothes, food packages, place mats, dog bed, etc.) we will take pictures and give you a full report on what they did. We will do our best to remove/cover items they like to get to. We are not able to stay over night.
About: Love taking care of all animals! I have an English Bulldog that sleeps all day and loves to play! I have lots of toys to spend some quality playtime. I work from home so I am here all day to love on your animals. I love going on walks and playing with the animals. I have a fenced backyard that is very secure. I can also offer long or short walks if that is more preferable. Anything to make them happy.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Universal City
Payton routinely takes my two yorkies on nice, long walks around my neighborhood. She gives them ample time to be free and play in the dog park. One of my puppies was nervous to meet her at first, but Payton was ready to handle her anxiety calmly and professionally. My dogs in particular are still adjusting to using leashes, and being in a new home situation. Regardless, Payton is patient with them, as if they are her own pups. This really helps me, I work long overnight hours and my puppies are happier now, receiving the playtime that they deserve on a regular basis. Payton is a great reliable walker, and I’d say puppy caregiver. Look no further!
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 of Dog Walking in Universal City is $17 per walk as of November 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 November 2026, there are 2,913 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 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:
- 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
