“Alice loves John. When she hears his voice she literally runs to the door. John greets her with a big body rub. He also talks to her. You can tell that he really enjoys doing this job.”

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.

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.

“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! My name is Soraya, and I’m a 28-year-old animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My background with animals started in high school, where I participated in FFA and veterinary science classes. Since then, I’ve gained professional experience working in both a veterinary setting and a pet boarding facility, giving me valuable knowledge in animal behavior, health monitoring, and daily care routines. I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need extra patience and attention. I can administer most medications, including oral medications, topical treatments, and other routine care (excluding injections). Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I strive to maintain their normal routine, provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and enrichment, while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout your booking. For transparency, my spouse may accompany me during house-sitting bookings. We are currently in the process of having him added to my Rover profile and are awaiting completion of Rover’s background check process. He is a military veteran who has successfully completed government background screenings and shares my love for animals. While I remain the sole caregiver responsible for your pets and booking services, I believe in being open with pet parents about who may be present during a stay. I have experience working with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide attentive and compassionate care as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 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.
“Pamela was great! I had to go out of town within a couple days and she was able to take care of my dog and was super flexible with everything! Couldn’t have asked for a better care taker!”

“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!”

“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'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!
“She has been nothing but amazing with my dog made me feel very comfortable of leaving my dog with a new person & 1st time using the app. Definitely recommend for someone to handle your bigger dogs.”

“Demetria was prompt and handled our 1yo pittie boy very well. He is fairly new to walking outside the house and she reported he was very good and she was attentive to what could be a distraction for a dog new to getting out and handled him perfectly. Would recommend and use again! Thank you!”

“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!!”

About: First, let me say I am a mom of a 5 year old, who has been with me to all my dog training sessions since he was 2 months old. He does not attend all house sitting’s anymore, but may still come with to a few. Meet & greets are always required. Now, I have experience in Positive Dog Training as a dog trainer. I teach basic obedience, advanced obedience and do puppy training. My handling is loving with no negative reinforcement involved. Sitting will be fun and interactive in addition I can even teach them a few tricks to show off to their Pet Parents. Drop-ins are always fun and I love giving each pet love, attention and play time that I provide to my own pets when I stop by. Dog walks are not only beneficial to the dog but to me as well, I enjoy the exercise so when they are happy I am too. Each experience I have with dogs or any animal I believe is a learning one that I am always happy to be apart of. I'm a Dog Trainer, so I schedule in advance for my services so that I know my calendar. If I'm busy at a certain time I make sure there is ample time between clients so that everyone gets the quality they deserve. I am also a mom to a toddler so where I go my son will be staying as well. All dogs must do a meet & greet prior to make sure we are a good fit. For house stays when I am staying over with your pets they are treated the same as mine with full attention and love. They will get cuddles and we'll have lots of fun.
About: Hi, I’m Jovan! Animals have always been a big part of my life — I’ve had dogs for over 14 years and can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ve provided pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for a wide variety of pets. From energetic dogs who need long walks to shy cats that need gentle patience, I tailor my care to what each animal needs. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, or special routines — reliability and consistency are always my priority. My background in healthcare and hospitality has made me dependable, observant, and attentive to detail. Those skills carry over to pet care — whether it’s keeping pets safe on walks, ensuring they’re fed on time, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone is caring for your pets. With me, you can trust they’ll be in caring, responsible hands. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins so you always feel connected. On weekdays I am available after 430! On weekends I'm available before 5pm! Definitely flexible and willing to work with you as long as we can communicate! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, safety and trust always come first. I follow each pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules to medications — and keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. With 14+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles, I’m attentive to each animal’s needs, whether that means giving an energetic pet playtime or creating a calm space for a shy cat. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing updates and photos so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are in responsible, loving hands.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 2,932 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:
- 88% 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.
