About: Hi! My name is Briannah Fritzinger, I am 21 and I'm a full-time at-home pet sitter here in Selma, Texas. I am currently pursuing pet sitting full-time, so your pets will have a calm, present, and attentive caregiver with them throughout the day. I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals like hamsters, fish, and lizards . I'm comfortable with handling puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets who need medication or extra patience. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and walks, with potty breaks every 2-4 hours and lots of photo updates. I am available 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, from 8am to 5pm for scheduled care, with extended availability for boarding and emergencies. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently have 4 cats of my own, so my day is built around feeding, cleaning, and playtime. I have a very flexible schedule, so I'm available for morning, midday, and evening drop-ins, walks, and overnights during the week and on weekends. In your home, I keep your pet's routine exactly the same — feeding times, walks for dogs, habitat temps and humidity checks, as well as safe handling for all. As well as litter box cleanings.I do a meet-and-greet first to learn their setup, emergency contacts, and vet info, and I always keep doors, gates, and enclosures secured. In my home, I only board cats. I have a clean, cat-friendly space with 4 of my own cats. Boards would be separate from my cats and have their own clean space and environment to be in!

“Laura was the best!!! We were pretty nervous about leaving our fur baby with a stranger but Laura did such a great job! She sent daily cuddle and walk pics and helped us keep our super-spoiled old cranky girl on her routine. It was such a relief knowing that Laura was spoiling our dog—we knew we didn’t need to worry about her after the first couple of days of regular updates—which helped us enjoy our 30th wedding anniversary trip out of state. She was also very respectful of our home —even helped with an unexpected (refrigerated) medication delivery which was a huge relief for us. All in all we were absolutely thrilled with her work—highly recommend five stars!!!! (Dog now very clearly misses her—awkward but we’re good with it haha)”

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!

About: I have been animal sitting since I was in single digits. Now I have my own well adjusted (mostly) fur babies that I care for. Rogue, Kevin, Remy and Bernadette are my world. I take pride in the fact that they are never afraid of a raised hand an have never known a day of starvation. Toys are plentiful in our home, as are warm places to sleep. Lap cuddles are always welcome. I have trained two service dogs, as well as taught many more dogs basic manners. No harsh words or raised voices, but reward based systems instead. I am currently a stay-at-home pet mom, so my schedule is wide open. The only standing obligation I have is church on Sundays, which can be adjusted with notice. Same day requests are doable as long as it is not same day boarding. My schedule is already bent to the will of my own fur babies, I can easily to adjust to whatever you need! I have a fenced in yard, and a single story home for safety. I have my own fur babies: Rogue, my senior cat who minds her own business. Kevin, my senior large dog who is a retired service dog. Then my two year old pups, Remy and Bernadette. Remy is an active service dog, while Bernadette has separation anxiety. In our home no animal is left alone. In boarding situations a private space can be provided for your animal. Kennels and gates are available for separation if needed.

Her communication with us was good, even with a 7 hour time difference. Thankful to have her to have her available to look after Kona. I would hire her again.”

About: I have experience in caring for pets, primarily dogs, for five years. Although I haven’t done it professionally, I have looked over my neighbors, friends, and family dogs for over five years. I also have been caring for my Yorkie for over six years. I’m comfortable with doing everyday routines like walking, playing, and giving medicine whenever needed.I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I can be more than responsible when looking after these pets. I am available to work part time on weekdays and some weekends. I have my college classes Monday’s and Wednesday’s in the morning but I’ll be available in the afternoon and most nights. I will follow the owner’s instructions regarding walks, potty breaks, medication, and other routines. I’ll give pets plenty of attention through playtime and walks. I want the client’s pets to feel safe around me, so I do my best keep up with there normal routines while they are in my care.

About: What sets me apart is the combination of a genuinely flexible schedule, a safe fenced home environment, and two friendly resident dogs who help new pets settle in quickly and feel less anxious. I'm patient and attentive with dogs of all ages and energy levels—comfortable with the extra patience senior dogs often need (mobility, medication reminders, gentler walks) as well as the consistency and structure young or newly-trained pups thrive on. I treat every pet like my own, prioritize their normal routine, and communicate closely with owners throughout their stay. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have a flexible schedule. I build my days around consistent feeding times, walks, and playtime, so your pet gets reliable attention whenever they need it—morning, midday, or evening. My home has a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for safe, supervised play. I closely monitor interactions, follow your pet's routine, and can crate them if needed for comfort.

Sophia is literally the best! She stayed here at my house for a week while I was on a cruise with my family! She has been working with my dog King to help him with his anxiety. She is so sweet and has brought King little gift and stuff to help with the training process. If you need someone to care for your pets Sophia is your girl. Thank you Sophia for coming today and spending the day with him.

FAQs for House Sitting - Universal City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Universal City is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters 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 1,802 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Universal City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Universal City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Universal City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Universal City choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters 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 sitter.

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

  • 87% of sitters 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.
