“Alondra took a good care of my dog for 3 days that I was out of town. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and she loved Alondra . To me it was very important that my dog feels safe and not anxious when I’m out for few days and I’m glad I found Alondra that could stay with TaTa at my place so TaTa felt so relaxed. 🐶🙏🏻😍”

“We had a great experience with Geena. She took excellent care of both of our Labradors, Pilón and Clark. Clark is a young, energetic puppy with plenty of antics, and she handled him very well. It was clear that she knew how to work with dogs and how to manage his energy and enthusiasm appropriately. She also did a great job with Pilón, making sure both dogs were well looked after and had plenty of playtime and interaction. We felt confident leaving them in her care and appreciated her professionalism and experience. We would happily trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable pet sitter.”

Kimberly is flexible and easy to work with. She's friendly and my pets took a liking to her right away! I was very nervous about leaving my babies (2 dogs and 2 cats) with a stranger, but her work ethic and my happy animals made it much easier. Thank you, Kimberly! <3”

“Amanda is hands down the best dog-sitter I've had in a decade! When I came home from a 6-day trip, Poe (my dog) was calm and happy and clearly well cared for. Amanda sent photos and updates several times a day. She went above and beyond to make sure that my nervous dog had loving company. I highly recommend Amanda -- she's caring, competent, reliable, and took care of my dog as if she were her own dog. Thanks, Amanda!”

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’ve had animals since I was really young. I even know how to take care of horses. I started riding when I was about 5. I went to my first horse show when I was 13. Animals have always been such a big part of my life. I currently own a chi-weenie named Mateo, he’s now 11. Mateo is super sweet and smart, I’ve taught him tons of tricks. I have worked in doggy daycare and most recently a bather in Sacramento so work I have with tons of dogs on a daily basis. I may be willing to give your dog a bath for a lil extra money just ask about my prices :) Im pretty open scheduled. Am looking for work so that may change in the near future, but as of now book to your heart's desires. I make sure to communicate with my Pet parents to ensure the animals needs are cared for and ask if there anything they need done.

About: In my household, we have always had a dog a part of our family. Growing up with dogs ignited my love for animals and being surrounded by pets. My most recent (now senior) dog has gone through surgeries, cancer treatments (with medication), and strict dieting so I am familiar with having to keep pets to a strict schedule and habits — while also giving them the best life possible with many walks and plenty of pets. I work a 9-5 job during the week with Fridays working remotely. I go in office usually from 9am -3pm and work the rest of the day remote but is subject to change. I am happy to accommodate and make it work for what you need and what works best for your pet(s)! I can also tomato by before and/or after work & dog/cat sit over weekdays and weekends. More can be discussed when booking, happy to answer any questions! I love and care for pets as if they are my own. In an initial visit meeting your animal(s), I take thorough notes to what your pet needs, what their usual schedule looks like, and any other important information regarding care. Making sure your pet is safe, healthy, and happy is first priority.

Emma was wonderful with Cosmo! She truly spoiled him and followed all of my instructions carefully. Since Cosmo is a senior, I really appreciated how gentle and patient she was with him, especially helping him up and down his ramp and taking him out in his stroller as instructed. She gave him lots of belly rubs, attention, and love, and it showed! When we got home, Cosmo was happy, relaxed, and showed no signs of stress, which gave me so much peace of mind. Emma also kept our house clean and sent daily updates with photos and videos, so we always knew how Cosmo was doing while we were away. I highly recommend Emma and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our little guy! ❤️

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Diesel while we were out of town for two weeks! Sanaz was absolutely amazing with him. She didn’t just take wonderful care of him, she spent time training him, gave him so much love and attention, and kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, we completely trusted her with Diesel and our home. She was reliable, caring, attentive, and clearly formed a real bond with him. In fact, I truly believe Diesel misses her! Since we’ve been home, he honestly seems a little heartbroken that his new best friend isn’t coming over anymore. That alone tells me how loved and well cared for he was while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend Sanaz to anyone looking for someone trustworthy who will treat their dog like her own. We will definitely be calling her again! ❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Canoga Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Canoga Park is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $122 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 November 2026, there are 11,842 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Canoga Park. 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 Canoga Park 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 Canoga Park 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 Canoga Park 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 Canoga Park. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
