“Cassie was amazing and very attentive to Dirk. Cassie was very responsive and respectful when communicating with me. I appreciate her time and patience. Thank you so much cassie”
“We just moved in the area 6 months ago. This is the first time we used Rover and the first time my fur babies will be staying in a different house. You can just imagine how nervous I am and also for my fur babies. We did a meet and greet before deciding to book. My husband and I were very pleased with the way they introduce our dogs with their own dogs. We are also very happy to meet everyone that will/might interact with my dogs. The first day I was nervous to leave them but Kristen made sure I received updates and pictures the whole day. She assured me that they are fine and they are having a great time, which they were. I really like that they are good with communicating with us and letting us know if they have questions or we need anything from them. I definitely RECOMMEND Kristen!”
“Thanks for taking such good care of Toby when my Hubby and I have to work long hours. We'll definitely be using Janette's services in the future! Toby loves the dog door and the yard to play in! I love the pics and updates.”
“Thank you so much Nereyda. So happy that Bo gets to stay with you when we come to San Antonio. I know he feels right at home and he’s so well taken care of. Super grateful as always!”
“Celeste was awesome. I dropped off my baby the same day and she came back with a smile on her face so I know she had fun. Will definitely be dropping off again in the future”
About: I offer reliable, in-home pet sitting services designed to keep your pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you’re away. Services include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and lots of attention and care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide updates for your peace of mind. I have 2 dogs of my own. Because I work part-time, I’m able to be very present and attentive if your fur baby stays with me. Availability is limited, so advance booking is recommended. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. For pets that are primarily indoor dogs, please provide their kennel for overnight sleeping. Dogs will also have access to a doggie door leading to the backyard.
“Cindy is so great to work with! She made both Archie and I feel comfortable right away. Her home is well fenced and dog friendly. I think Archie knew right away that she is a dog lover. :) We will definitely be returning. PS: She sent me an adorable photo of my pup enjoying his play day.”
About: Since 2020 I have cared for dogs and cats in a variety of manners. Fostering, drop-in visits, boarding, walking and playtime. No matter the request, I will always give your pet the love and attention it deserves! I work from home-full time and can take several breaks throughout the day for potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, you name it! I love to spend time with pets during my day. The care and happiness of your pet is my top priority. Your pet will be cared for to your exact specifications and will send photos and videos along the way to ensure quality. I am gentle and loving with all pets. Our spacious home offers plenty of room to play, nap, and otherwise relax.
About: My goal is to make sure your babies feel safe and genuinely cared for while you’re away so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a college student with a highly flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I plan my days around their needs whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company. It’s important to me make sure every pet feels loved and attended to while their family is away. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions to help keep their experience as stress-free as possible. I have a dog-friendly yard for outdoor time with plenty of space for crates, cages, or litter boxes if needed. I have multiple rooms available in my home for pets who may need a quiet separate space to gradually get comfortable before interacting with other pets or exploring the home. I understand that every animal adjusts differently, so I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and personality to help them feel secure. I routinely send photo updates for peace of mind!
“Emmarose is very knowledgeable about dogs. She is very kind. My dog is a shy dog and he warmed up to her pretty quickly. She communicated well and gave me updates throughout the day. Will have my puppy stay with her again.”
About: We have 3 dogs of our own who are very much a part of our family. My husband and I have had dogs pretty much our entire married lives and our girls love helping us take care of and love them! I am a remote teacher so I work from home, as does my husband. Our dogs are part of the family and we treat guest dogs as family as well. We have a dog door which allows dogs to go in and out of the house as they choose. We feed our dogs twice a day but can be flexible with feeding schedules.
About: Hello to all my fellow puppy lovers!! I am located in the quaint small town of Schertz TX. I have 19+ years of personal and pet sitting experience. I started out on Rover in 2019 in New Braunfels, just a hop skip and a jump from here. I cannot wait to meet all your puppers and provide such sweet care to all of them. I love all puppy sizes, shapes, smells :). (I do have breed preferences but that is due to our 1.5 year old baby and am just extra cautious. We have a fenced backyard that does have a pool and 2 little dogs for them to roam around with and play. If they love to play catch they might have some competition with my pup 🐶 Holly!! I would love to take your loved ones out for long walks or play with them in your home. I also provide overnight services in MY home. Right now I can house about 2-3 pups for overnight visits or even a few days if you need to go out of town... but with your help I can grow that to house many more and make some great friends along the way. Short on time? I am willing to pick up your pet from you to give you maximum time to get your errands done or be a with your family away from your home and still make sure your puppies stay on their schedules! Anything you need... I am here!! I am currently working part time and full time momma. Super flexible just plan ahead with me and we can make anything work. We have a dog park near as well for extra exercise if they don’t already get worn out running around the backyard. We will keep to their schedule as much as possible. Same eating times, bedtime, this type of thing. We always provide a safe space and monitor on cameras when we can’t be in the yard directly.
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and grew up surrounded by dogs, which taught me the responsibility and patience required to be a great caregiver. My experience ranges from energetic small breeds to powerful large dogs, so I am comfortable and confident handling pets of all sizes. I also have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand the gentle touch and extra attention they often need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a high-energy walk to burn off steam or a calm presence to sit and play with them at home, I prioritize their safety and happiness above all else. I pride myself on being reliable and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m excited to provide your pets with the same love and care I’ve given my own throughout my life! I have a very pet-friendly schedule! I work from home every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, which allows me to provide your pet with constant companionship and potty breaks throughout the day. While I am typically in the office on Mondays and Fridays, I have the flexibility to work from home on those days as well with a little bit of notice. Your pet will rarely be alone. Because I don’t currently have pets of my own, your pet becomes my sole priority and receives my 100% undivided attention. In your home, I focus on maintaining their established routine to keep them stress-free. Whether it’s high-energy walks and active play or simply hanging out in their space to provide a calm presence, I adapt to their vibe. I’m happy to offer a 'hands-on' approach for cuddlers or a hands-off approach for more independent pets, and I am always flexible with special accommodations to ensure they feel safe and cared for.
“Bella really enjoyed doggy daycare with Tambre and the pups that stay there :) She is a high energy dog and has trouble finding other dogs that can keep up with her. She had constant supervision with Tambre and go updates throughout the day. The next day Bella was so excited and waited at the door thinking she was staying at Tambre’s again :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Universal City
We were traveling through the area and needed a day sitter for Victor, so that we explore San Antonio. We found Cindy and we were pleased that she was available. We felt that she provided great care for him and he received lots of love and attention. He was quite tired at the end of the stay, since her 5 month old boxer puppy gave him a bit of activity and then became his snuggle mate on the couch.
Most likely for everyone, their pets are their babies and after a horrible experience with another sitter, I felt very comfortable and assured the whole time my fur baby was with her. She was very communicative and even was able to help out with an unplanned drop off. I’m very happy with this experience

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Universal City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Universal City on Rover is $28.86 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,133 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Universal City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Universal City commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,133 sitters in Universal City, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
