“Kim is amazing. She takes great care of my girl when she comes to visit her! I absolutely love all the pictures she sends to me also!!! I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies”
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!
“Ashley helped me out by making sure my fur babies were well taken care of when I had to be out of the house. She did a great job with my fur babies, and I appreciate her help.”
“Pamela is wonderfully thorough and thoughtful! She always checks on everything for each visit, takes lots of pictures, and sends a summary after each visit. I’ve had her watch my cats twice and will definitely be doing so again in the future!”
“Kelsie replied quickly to my request to take care of my babies while I had to be away. She was on time and from the looks of the pictures and her comments my babies really enjoyed her company.”
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!
“Brianna was such a life saver. I know it can be overwhelming with my pit bulls but she handled everything so gracefully. One of my pups had an accident in her cage which is so unusual but Brianna went above and beyond to clean her and the cage out for me. I’m blessed to have had an amazing Rover helper. She is awesome! She adjusted to the pups so well. I’m sure they miss her already! Will definitely recommend her services!”
“Angela was AMAZING!! Not only did she watch our two Ragdolls over the Christmas holiday, but she was so responsive to their specific dietary needs (one has prescription food) and their individual personalities. Angela is herself a cat owner and it shows! Prompt, kind, professional, and exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to book her in the future!”
“John is one of the most courteous and caring people I have met in awhile. Roxie loved him immediately and she is not always loving toward people. She loved his visits and was obviously in great spirits when we got home. I could watch them play in out backyard on our Ring camera. Thank you, John you are highly prized, and recommended for anyone in the Selma area.”
“Kimberly took great care of my two cats. I appreciate the time she spent playing with them, they looked well taken care of when we got home. I also appreciate the regular updates and photos and video she sent.”
“AnnaMaria did a wonderful job dropping in on my cat, Mr. Steve. Prompt, trustworthy, and super helpful with last minute adjustments. Everything went smoothly from start to finish! Would book again.”
“Cassie was amazing!! She took such great care of Berkeley and he loved having her kiddos help out too!! I was so happy to receive each update - Cassie is detailed and always had a good picture to send when we’re missing our boy 🥰”
“Lauren did a great job watching our cat, Minnie for the few days we were gone. She sent photos and videos during each visit and did everything we asked her to do for Minnie. We will definitely request Lauren again for future trips!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and have also owned or taken care of a wide array of types of animals. I have plenty of knowledge and experience to take great care of yours too. I work part-time. But I can best be of service in weekday afternoons/evenings. And also weekends on afternoons/evenings. Basically the second half of the day timeline works best for me. I care greatly for them, especially in terms of their physical health, mental health and overall wellbeing. I pride myself on creating a comfortable environment for animals to thrive.
“We’ve boarded Hazel with Sherilyn before, but this was our first drop in visit, and Sherilyn was awesome like always! She spent a good amount of time with Hazel, playing with her and keeping her active. She also went above and beyond when she came over and found that Hazel made a mess on the floor, Sherilyn cleaned it up for us, which was was so greatly appreciated! Thank you again Sherilyn!”

It’s been a few months since we had Angela cat sit for us. Since she had been her before, she was ok w us leaving a key hidden and photo instructions since it had been months since she has seen our cats. Cleo always comes out because she is social, but was so thrilled that our shy girl Luna came out for Angela as it takes a few visits. She came out after a few minutes and again today. I always will use Angela for our cats, she’s a great asset to the Rover app! Thank you for the wonderful care, as always!
5/5 Stars – Highly Recommended! Elizabeth did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my cat. From our very first interaction, it was clear that she is a true animal lover who treats pets with the utmost care and respect. She was incredibly reliable and followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly. What I appreciated most were the regular updates and photos she sent, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My cat, who can sometimes be shy around new people, warmed up to her and enjoyed her attention. Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure my cat felt safe, loved, and comfortable. I cannot thank Elizabeth enough for her exceptional service. I will absolutely be hiring her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!
This was a very last minute reservation that kept changing and Barbara handled it all gracefully. I will forever be grateful for finding to care for our dog when we traveled. I wish we could take her with us on our upcoming move to Las Cruces. Barbara- thank you for everything!
Tara is an amazing sitter for our fur babies. She is very knowledgeable and comfortable with the dogs. The dogs loved her from the moment they met her. She was fantastic in making sure our older dog took her medicine. I really appreciate that she took the time to play with them during her visits. We loved getting updates and knew our pups were in great hands. I would highly recommend Tara if you want someone who will love your dogs as much as you do.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Universal City on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,177 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Universal City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Universal City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Universal City. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 pet, 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.
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.
