“Marina is an amazing pet sitter! She is attentive, communicative, and sends the best photos. It was clear our cat was well cared for and truly loved. I will absolutely book her again!”
About: I’m an experienced and loving pet sitter with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve also been a proud dog mom to my sweet boy. I treat every pet like family and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for!! I’m home most of the time since I take online classes, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m especially available mornings through the afternoon on weekdays. On weekends, I’m available most of the time, especially after 3 PM With previous experience, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment, follow each pet’s routine, supervise them closely, and give plenty of affection, playtime, and attention.
“He was very kind and thorough with my cat. He paid close attention to all the details and asked questions. I really appreciated how careful and precise he was. Great communication and very punctual. Thank you!”
About: I have experience walking dogs of all ages and sizes (German Shepard, huskies, Maltese, poodle, frenchies). As a teen I walked dogs for the elderly who resided in a retirement home. I grew up with large dogs and have learned patience and awareness through my experiences. I currently have two talkative cats and have participated in rescuing stray kittens from a Carl’s Jr. parking lot. I love animals and have learned from each and every one of them that I have had the pleasure of meeting in my lifetime. I am currently between jobs and have a lot of free time to take pups for walks! I am available weekends and holidays! I enjoy being outside and going for early morning walks and would love to do that with a dog! I am comfortable watching pets within a home or backyard if needed. I can carry dogs if they are uncomfortable using stairs or if they have special needs. I am extremely cautious when dogs are a flight risk and tend to triple check harnesses and walking gear!
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my unparalleled experience and genuine love for dogs, cultivated over 35 years of dedicated care! From raising puppies to caring for elderly dogs, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every pet sitting assignment. My experience allows me to confidently administer medications, provide specialized care, and handle any situation that may arise with patience and compassion. Beyond my skills, Im a huge dog-lover! Ive had dogs since the day I was born and can't imagine life without one! I treat each dog as if they were my own. With me, your beloved dog will not only receive wonderful care, but will also experience the warmth and affection of a true dog lover, making their stay with me an unforgettable and very happy experience :) I work from home, so I'm very flexible. I can watch your dog at my house, take your dog on walks, or house sit at your place during the day. I live in a house. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a pool and grassy areas for your dog to do their business. I also have a Belgian Malinois who is so loving and playful and loves other dogs! I'm also a mom of 9 year old twins who LOVE dogs :)
“Brooke was great! She communicated with me the entire time and was available last minute. I would highly recommend her to watch your dogs! I will have her back in the future :)”
“So happy Tiffany helped us out last minute. My doggies had such a good time with her, enjoying their walk and cuddle time. She took great care of them and would be happy to book her again.”
About: I grew up with various types of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, various reptiles, and birds! I am an avid animal lover and activist and enjoy meeting new furry friends. I am the type to stop what I'm doing to meet new animals out in public. I am a university student currently with only one class per day over 4 days, I will have lots of time to make sure your loved ones are safe and happy! I always make sure to be careful when opening doors as to not let animals into areas they arent supposed to be in or accidentally getting out when they shouldn't be. I am well aware of plenty of hiding places for critters to go and can intuitively find them. I am also always careful where I walk in case your buddy likes to get underfoot!
“Emma from Lando Health & Wellness Pet Therapy was incredibly compassionate and attentive! She did a drop-in visit for my husky Junior. Junior instantly took a liking to her. Emma not only provided exceptional care for my dog, but also captured delightful moments through her impressive pet photography skills. I highly recommend her as a top-notch pet sitter and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Lucia is great with our cat. She's watched two of our cats now and I always know she is getting great care and attention. I don't worry at all when Lucia is in charge of Comet (and I'm a worrier). She is great with communication, I always know what's going on, and she takes the best pictures 😀”
“Mry is very sweet , caring ,professional and thorough.. She is prompt and personable, and my 3 kitties. Casper, Jacob and Cosmo all loved her !!! Thank you Mry!! You are awesome!! Will definitely go with Mry again! She is Top Notch!”
“Erika is absolutely amazing and takes such wonderful care of all our fur-kids! I have never felt so calm leaving our pups and kitties when I know they are in Erika's hands. She is just wonderful and has pet sat for us many times past and hopefully many times to come 🥰”
“Taylor did a great job and was very good at communicating with me during her drop in visits. She was also very thoughtful of my home and I appreciated it. She went the extra miles of wiping Chico’s paws when they were full of mud after being out on the grass. She was very understanding of my dogs behaviors too and made me feel relieved while Chico was in her care!”
About: What sets me apart is the love, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of care and affection. I work Monday through Friday and am available after 5:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends, I am available all day and evening to provide loving and reliable pet care. I provide pets with plenty of attention, care, and companionship while following their regular routine. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise and playtime, and feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Patty is amazing and communicates very well. Luke and Leia (cats) enjoyed her company when she dropped in. I will for sure rebook her whenever I travel and she has an opening in her schedule”

Minerva was truly fantastic! As a very anxious cat mom and type A personality, I tend to leave a full detailed list of instructions when we’re away. Minerva was so kind and on top of everything! She truly made my anxiety go away. Our cat is super sweet but can also be a bit particular - she LOVED Minerva . We’re so happy we found her and will 100% use her for ALL future requests. She was so kind, on top of everything, clean, great communication, so understanding, reassuring. Just the perfect sitter while we were away.
Bethany kitty sat my kitten Bianca for a five day weekend and my kitten had a blast. I got the cutest updates- I could tell from what Bethany wrote after each visit that Bianca felt really comfortable with her and got plenty of good play time. Bethany really got to see all the cute aspects of her personality. And she got so many great pics of Bianca! We met before the first day I needed cat sitting to go over where things were and to so she could meet Bianca. She’s such a nice person, very professional, I’d definitely book her again! Thank you!
This was my first time using Rover and she made it the best experience possible she went above and beyond and communication she was on time she sent pictures. She had cute commentary and honestly, our animals loved her. I can't wait for her to watch them again as she cared so much for my animals and I can't thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind while we were out of town
Erika is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She is so patient and has a very calming presence. My cat usually ignores strangers and refuses to play with them, but took to her right away and loved playing with her! She is deeply caring and I felt so comfortable leaving my cat in her hands. Highly recommend!
Valerie is absolutely wonderful with our cat! She’s been able to watch her a few times now and Valerie is always so communicative, helpful, and takes THE BEST check in photos which really helps when we are missing our pet. From the first pet meet and greet, our cat took to her so fast and we are so happy to have found Valerie. Highly recommend!
I love booking with Eileen! She is extremely communicative and ensures that she follows my notes. Eileen also went above and beyond with my cat by trying different ways to get her to eat more. She also updated me daily about my cat’s mood and health as well. Additionally, Eileen sent lots of pictures and videos each visit, which I greatly appreciated. The videos (with lots of purring) showed me just how much my fur baby loves her. Thank you again Eileen!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Encino 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 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 August 2026, there are 7,831 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Encino. 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.

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.
