About: We’re a friendly, reliable married couple with 26 years of combined pet care experience, offering personalized, loving care for your furry family members. Our services include daily walks, playtime, pop-in visits, and doggy playdates or daycare. We share our home with our 5-year-old Brittany Spaniel, who’s well-socialized and gets along with nearly every dog she meets. Whether your pup needs a fun day with friends or just a little extra love while you’re away, we’re here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and right at home. Pet care is a full-time part of our lives right now, which means we have plenty of time to give each client’s pet the attention, care, and love they deserve. Our flexible schedule allows us to be fully present for every visit—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. We treat every animal like family and make their well-being a top priority in our daily routine. In our home, we offer a safe and engaging environment with a fully enclosed front and backyard where dogs can play and explore. We share our space with our 4-year-old Brittany Spaniel, who is well-socialized and loves the company of dogs of all sizes. We don’t crate dogs unless they are already crate trained and their crate is provided by the owner. We spend plenty of time playing, interacting, and attending to each pet’s needs based on their unique personality and comfort level. When caring for pets in our clients’ homes, we provide the same personalized attention—whether it’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. We make it a priority to understand each animal’s temperament and routine so they feel secure and happy while you’re away.

Emily came over to check in on our 3 cats, feed and play while we were away this weekend and did a great job. She was very friendly and accommodating when we met to discuss the "babysitting" and go over everything. Will definitely book with her again. Thanks!

About: I have fostered cats since 2020 and have volunteered at my local animal shelters since 2018. I am familiar working with cats and kittens of all ages and needs (bottle feeding - seniors) and can confidently give medicine and clean pets with extra needs. I have worked with small dogs throughout this time (helping stimulate/play and clean them up) and have taken care of young puppies <1 year overnight with around the clock care. I am completely free on weekends from 4am-10pm and am flexible with my hours especially if overnight care is needed. I work full time on weekdays and have a flexible schedule which allows me to work remotely from 7am-4pm. I am free for visits and caregiving 4am-6am and 4pm-10pm on weekdays. I am comfortable and willing to respect your animal’s boundaries where needed, and I will do whatever I can to ensure your pet is safe. I understand some pets are shy and some are more social, and am comfortable working with all types of personalities to cater to their needs as necessary. I can supervise eating/bathroom use as necessary and provide extra stimulation and play time whenever needed.

About: I love caring for and protecting all animals; dogs, cats, other mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and/or insects. Essentially if it eats, breaths and needs maintenance, I am able to take care of it. I've had several dogs in my life, from small to large sized dogs. I have also owned a couple exotic pets that required unique needs and diets. I have no issue with cleanup or waste removal that may be needed while caring for any extended family member. Not having any other obligations other than "Rover" (besides my GF) I am able to dedicate my full attention on the services I am providing to care for the loved ones I am entrusted to. I have experience and I am able to train, if requested.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of pets with different needs, personalities, and routines. I also have experience caring for newborn puppies—including helping raise nine puppies at once after my own dog gave birth. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets that need extra support. I’m very detail-oriented when it comes to feeding schedules, medications, special instructions, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important trust is when choosing a sitter, and my priority is giving you peace of mind and your pet the best care possible. I work from home full-time, which allows me to easily integrate pet care into my daily schedule. I’m able to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and supervision while maintaining a calm, consistent environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided. In my home or yours, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I keep a clean, safe environment and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice anything out of the ordinary. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for, and for you to have complete peace of mind.

About: I’ve been walking dogs and house sitting for years and have always grown up with pets of my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pets and home with the same care I would my own! I’m currently working full time at a school, so I’m free during the week after 3pm and I’m free on the weekends for pet care or walks! I provide personalized care for pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them maintain their normal routine and reducing stress. Services can include feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications as directed, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes or cages, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention and affection.

About: We are excited to connect with all of you. We have looked after many doggies. Now, we are taking 2 at a time depending on each individual doggies personality. We, of course, won’t always be booked with two, but if it works, it works. We are people who will get back to you right away and communicate honestly always. We lost our dog in Sept 2021 and watching others dogs allows us the cuddles and love that we truly miss so much. If we come to you for walk or just a visit, we do not mind you having a camera in your home. We actually advocate for it. Also, I (Darby) , do most walks and visits. Always on the first visit, for safety reasons I bring Craig ( my Beau) with me to make sure all is good. If possible, please make sure all instructions are clear and instead of lots of details where everything is- it seems to be much easier to put everything out on kitchen counter. 😉😋 I am a Fine Art photographer. I’m home working most days and so is my Beau. Days go like this… Ha Wake up. Walk. Eat. Play. I edit. We cuddle. I edit . We walk. Snack. I edit. We cuddle. Play. I edit. We walk. We will treat your doggie like our own. Whatever their needs are we provide. We have a Client, who we adore , and whenever they bring over their Doggie Doo they come with their very large couch pillows. The reason for this is because their Doggie has back problems, so our whole living room is a slumber party at all times. We have built a solid customer base, however, doggies get older, etc… So there is always room for more love. At this point, we don’t like to be without a baby. Wink

About: I have 6 dogs that very sizes breed behavior age & needs of course. I’m currently studying to be a Vet Tech. Dogs are exactly like babies they need to be extremely cared for that’s why I’d love to give someone that peace of mind their animal is truly cared for when they need it the most. I’m pretty flexible with anything:) I am currently working part time. I can do early mornings as 4am and late night as 11. My schedule sometimes will vary but I am usually pretty able to work around my schedule. My dogs have a huge backyard. They love car rides & walks. I will always keep an eye out on them just because the area sometimes can be populated with coyotes & mountain lions. Dogs can find themselves in some trouble time to time. My dogs love walks! They are on a feeding schedule and separated just so they can all eat comfortably ☺️

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and always found myself helping friends and neighbors to train their dogs and look after their cats. It is beyond rewarding to see the comfort and relaxed nature of pets develop as a result of training and devoted care and time. I have experience with cats raised from birth, and fostered dogs from unfortunate situations (most recently a stubborn husky who learned to play at 9 years old). In addition to happy pets, my goal is to support busy pet owners with pet clean up and organization recommendations to help make your life easier and more time to appreciate your furry friend. I work full time and am a returning college student with a consistent schedule and experience managing hectic calendars. I maintain a promise to stick to all appointments and communicate promptly regarding any changes and/or updates. I am available during the week after 6pm, and on the weekends from 9am to 5pm. Please feel free to message me with any questions and we can troubleshoot appointments and care that work for you. I cater to all animals based on their needs and comfort levels. From highly energetic play, to quiet company, I focus on building trust with your pet in their safe space to reduce stress and help support structure and routines. I welcome conversations with you to understand what is most important in your expectations and the elevated treatment of your pet(s).

About: I am a caring, attentive, and reliable pet caregiver with 10 years of professional experience. I have worked primarily with dogs, though I also have some experience with cats, small mammals, and birds. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring them lots of attention, affection, and love. I have experience working with dogs of many different sizes, breeds, and ages. I genuinely love and enjoy taking care of animals and hope you will choose me as your next pet caregiver! I am fortunate to have a very flexible part-time work schedule, which allows me to be available for all of your pet care needs! BOARDING: I live in a 2nd-floor apartment in a quiet, peaceful, and walkable community. I accept boardings for one family at a time, ensuring a calm and peaceful experience for all. Due to the quiet nature of my apartment community, I prefer to board calm-tempered dogs to avoid noise complaints from excessive and/or loud barking. I can board 2 dogs from the same family at a time, though for large dogs I limit to 1 due to the size of my apartment. I have a large and safe, pet-proofed balcony where the dogs are welcome to lounge and explore. I also welcome pets on my couch and bed to ensure maximum comfort. While boarding dogs, I make sure to be present all or majority of the time. HOUSE SITTING: For pet sitting in your home, I follow all instructions provided to me while staying respectful of your space and privacy. I always clean up after myself and leave the space cleaner than I found it.

About: I understand how important it is for you that your pet gets the best experience possible. I treat every dog like it is my own, showing them unconditional love, going on walks, and playing at the park. I have a bond with every animal I come across and I hope to make yours part of that experience. While watching your pet I will give you regular updates and call you accordingly if any issues should come up. Please do not hesitate to call me with any questions or concerns, I will gladly answer them. I hope to meet you and your four legged friend soon. Reviews are appreciated🐶🐾 Pet care fits very easily into my current routine because I am not working at the moment, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I am available almost anytime throughout the week and can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I can easily adjust my schedule based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. I live in an apartment complex with a dog park and lots of space to run around and play. I do have a dog of my own who is a little shy and can take some warming up too.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Canoga Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Canoga Park on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 7,584 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Canoga Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canoga Park. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.

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.
