Madelyn is now our 4-mo-old puppy's favorite person! She gave up her Thanksgiving to stay with Ziggy at our house, but it wasn't just a "stay." Madelyn played with her and give her so much love and attention. It was just what Ziggy needed and we were so happy to trust her with our puppy! We're also very happy that Madelyn will be coming back to stay with Ziggy again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Madelyn!

Ariana was amazing with our two pups! She is very kind & sweet. Amazing energy & the pups felt right at home with her. We felt very comfortable leaving her with the dogs and taking care of our home while we were away. We will definitely be using her as our pet sitter for all of our needs in the future! ?

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 8 years through nannying, with the last 3 years being full-time pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—big or small, young or old. I also have experience with senior and disabled dogs and understand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and consistent with their routines. I always follow care instructions closely and make safety a top priority. I genuinely love being around animals and make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, just like they would at home. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine since I have an open and flexible schedule. I’m available during the day, evenings, and overnight, and I’m able to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than squeezing them in. Whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, meds, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I make sure they get the time and attention they deserve. I also have a reliable car, so getting to and from visits is not a problem. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a space they know. I’m very respectful of both the pet and the home and always follow care instructions exactly as they’re given. I pay close attention to routines, safety, and any special needs, especially with senior or disabled dogs. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and never stressed, and I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and familiar. I treat every pet like my own and want pet parents to feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

Larry was an excellent dog sitter for our pup. Our dog is a COVID dog and used to being with someone 24/7. Larry stayed at our house and walked, played and kept our pup company. He was able to bond with Mozzi the first day. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. We would definitely hire Larry again. So glad we found him on rover.com.

About: Hi! I'm Arvanh 😊 Animal companions have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, there was always some kind of animal around: dogs, cats, fish, parakeets, and even chickens, ducks, and cows when I spent time with family in Laos. Being around these companions just been a normal and joyful part of life for me. One of the biggest reasons I'm here on Rover is because of my dog, Avery. Avery was my best friend for many years and taught me so much about patience, loyalty, and unconditional love. Like most pet owners, I talked to her like she was a person, and planned parts of my day around making sure she was happy. Since losing her, I've realized how much I miss having furry kids in my life and how much I genuinely enjoy caring for them. Over the years, I've become the friend people call when they're heading out of town and need someone they trust to watch their fur babies. I've cared for: -energetic dogs who want to play nonstop, -cats that needed cuddle time and WALKS (wild, I know) -and nervous pets who just need a calm presence while their humans are away. When I care for someone's pet, I try to get to know their personality, routines, and preferences so I can give them the unique attention they deserve. That means: attention, sticking to their routine, and making sure you never have to wonder how they're doing. If you're away, I'll send photos and updates throughout the day because I know personally how comforting it is to see your pet happy and relaxed while you're gone. For house sitting, my goal is simple: keep your pet's life feeling as normal as possible (with some fun of course). We'll stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and whatever routines help them feel comfortable. If needed, I'll also take care of the little things around the house so you can enjoy your trip without worrying. :) For drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, food, water, and care they need during my visit. Whether they want to play fetch, chase a toy, get belly rubs, or even just have someone sit with them for a bit, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. For dog walks, I love letting dogs enjoy the walk at their pace. Some dogs want to power walk the whole neighborhood, while others are on a mission to sniff every tree in sight. Either way, we'll have a good time and you'll get photos afterward so you can see their adventure. At the end of the day, I know that pets aren't "just pets." They're family. I also know how much trust it takes to hand over your keys and leave someone in charge of a furry family member you love. My goal is to make that decision feel easy by giving your companion lots of care, attention, and affection while keeping you updated every step of the way. I'd love to meet you and your furry companion! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. In my professional life, I've worked as an engineer, but right now I'm taking time off and intentionally spending more time focusing on the people, experiences, and things that bring me joy! Including caring for animals! Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I genuinely enjoy making pets a part of my day. I'm also a big believer in keeping owners updated, so sending photos and little updates throughout the day is something I genuinely enjoy, not something I do out of obligation. At this time, I only provide care in my clients' homes. I find that pets are often happiest and most comfortable in a familiar environment where they can stick to their normal routines. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their personality, habits, schedule, favorite activities, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. Every pet is different, and I try to tailor my care to their individual needs. For house sitting, my goal is to make things feel as normal as possible while you're away. I'll follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, give plenty of attention and companionship, administer medications if needed, and keep your home tidy and secure. For drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, food, potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I'll also keep an eye on their overall well-being and let you know if anything seems unusual. For dog walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure your dog has an enjoyable experience. Some dogs want a brisk walk, while others prefer to stop and sniff every interesting thing they find. I enjoy both! No matter the service, you can expect regular photo updates and communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: I’m a reliable, attentive, and caring dog walker and sitter who treats every pet like my own. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure dogs feel comfortable, happy, and well-exercised. I’m great with different temperaments, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly with owners. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I make sure pets are well cared for and owners feel fully at ease. I work in the restaurant business waiting tables at night. So I’m free during the day whenever someone needs me to walk their dog or come over to let them out. Always on time. Or even a little bit early. Very patient willing to walk dogs and let them out when needed. Non aggressive with the pets

About: Watching dogs for a living?! Who wouldn’t want that! I loved watching dogs for my family and friends for as long as I can remember, was and am happy to hear about Rover. Walk, wash, play, anything you need. I’m your pal! I’m currently working freelance so hours are all over, which allows me a heck of free time! I am able to work with your schedules and availability. I live in a gated complex, no running into the streets. The area is pretty spacious so walks may be down within the gated complex.

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! ❤️

Caitlan was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for our anxious dog, Alfie, and our cat, Roland. Caitlan made Alfie feel very calm and loved, and from the first moment they met I knew she'd be a great fit for an anxious doggo! Caitlan followed our requests to a T and went above and beyond with a checklist noting his meds being taken, and walks 2x a day. Alfie struggles with leash aggression with other dogs sometimes, and Caitlan really helped him with this behavior...he definitely seems to have improved! Roland, our cat, also struggles with wanting nighttime feeding and she managed to help him reduce his 'poking' for food behaviors down to just 1x a night. We didn't realize when we booked Caitlan that she is not just a dog/cat sitter but something of an animal therapist as well, lol! Caitlan communicated often about how they were doing, sent photos etc. We knew they were in such safe and loving hands with her! To top it all off, when we got back after three weeks she had washed her bed linens and sofa throw, and made us the most delicious banana bread. Caitlan was uber professional but most importantly she really connects with animals and intuitively seems to know what is best for them. We are definitely going to book her again for any future trips!

Bruna was absolutely amazing with my cat Carl and French Bulldog Daisy. I needed a sitter with less than 24 hours’ notice over the Fourth of July holiday, and she stepped in without hesitation. At the time, Daisy had just undergone surgery and required constant supervision along with medication administration. B handled everything flawlessly and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She sent frequent updates, photos, and messages, which meant so much given Daisy’s condition. Most importantly, it was obvious that both Carl and Daisy adored her. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for in her hands. I would not hesitate to book Bruna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.

Sky was incredible with our pups and with our home. She navigated several challenges seemlessly which included our pup having some loose stool, house repair men arriving throughout her stay as well as getting one of our very picky pups to eat. She left our house extremely tidy and washed and made the guest bedroom perfectly. It was a joy to come back to happy pups and a clean home! She communicated with us throughout our trip the exact right amount. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sky! She is a gem and we feel very blessed to have found her for all our pup care needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Canoga Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Canoga Park on Rover is $58.83 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of September 2026, there are 11,908 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 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.

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.
