“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our dog Cocoa! She was so thoughtful, patient, and easy to work with. She gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our travels knowing that our dog was in wonderful hands”
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!
About: Pets are family! I grew up with 3 rescue animals and was the primary caretaker of a senior dog for 4 years. I co-fostered and pet-sat cats and dogs in college, and have been an ASPCA volunteer. I prioritize safety and comfort for all animals under my supervision! I work from home Tuesday-Friday and have a fairly flexible schedule to walk and visit for check-in's throughout the day. I am typically not available Friday nights and Saturdays. If I am visiting your home, please provide access instructions and a description of where your pet's toys, treats, and other items are in your home! Please also provide the location of any cleaning supplies in case there were any potty accidents.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover, and I currently help care for my family’s four dogs- Charlie, Graham, Winnie, and Lola. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of helping care for six family dogs in total, giving me experience with every stage of a dog’s life, from energetic puppies to loving senior dogs. They’ve each taught me something different, and through them I’ve gained years of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and recognizing each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will always follow your pet’s routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Friends and family know me as someone who is dependable, organized, and responsible. Whether it’s showing up on time, paying attention to the little details, or making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve, I’ll always do my best to provide reliable, loving care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I recently graduated from California State University, Long Beach, and I’m currently studying for the CPA exam while working part-time. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the exercise, care, and companionship they need while you’re away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care your pet requires. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also respect your home as if it were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout your trip.

“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’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, reactive, senior, etc. I have a senior husky/golden retriever who gets all meals cooked, and gets spoiled. Reliable and friendly. Family members call me to check on their pets including cats, dogs and chickens, when they’re out in vacation. They get fed, watered, walked and few hours of play time/dog park or hike sometimes I’m currently unemployed so all my time will go to all the pets I plan on taking care of playing with them going on walks or maybe hikes if they love beaches best believe I’ll be taking them I have a fenced yard and back yard pretty big with lots of grass and shade. If they’re picky eaters I’ll make their food from scratch the way I dog for my dog she’s friendly and will keep your fur baby company. I have a cat too she’s sweet and a bit of a scaredy cat

About: Hello. I’m Karina, and caring for animals has been a central part of my life for many years. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses, including high-performance equine athletes. That background has taught me to be calm, observant, consistent, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some want an energetic walk, while others simply need a consistent routine, patience, and companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me. I specialize in reliable weekday lunchtime dog walks and drop-in visits in the Encino area, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want consistent, dependable care. I also offer cat drop-in visits and limited boarding for dogs that are friendly with my own well-socialized dog and cat. You’ll receive updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I provide consistent weekday lunchtime walks and drop-in visits, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want dependable care while they’re at work. My schedule also allows me to offer weekend boarding and pet care by arrangement. I enjoy having a routine that lets me give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care. Boarding dogs stay in my home as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. I have a secure balcony and easy access to a large grassy area for potty breaks and fresh air. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks in my quiet condo complex or explore the dog-friendly neighborhood nearby. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and my own friendly, well-socialized dog, so everyone stays safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. With your permission, I’m also happy to take well-trained dogs on special outings, such as nature trails or to the horse facilities where I spend time, for additional exercise and enrichment when appropriate.
“You can tell Vanessa is great with animals. Our shy guy warmed up to her right away. And she handled our 80 lb big guy well, too. We will definitely hire her again to come walk our dogs.”
“Daniela is absolutely amazing and took such great care of our 4 boys while we were out of the country. She was incredibly communicative and sent us tons of photos calming any nerves we had about leaving them. Daniela went above and beyond and we are beyond grateful to have met her. Cannot recommend enough and we will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Kathryn took great care of my cat Fancy while we were away for a few days. Lots of photo updates and written descriptions of her visits! Kathryn was a huge help and I will definetely rebook into the future.”
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Lucia did a wonderful job with the visit. And she a willing to book in less than 24 hours. Really informative review about her interaction with our animals. Highly recommended, would book again!”
About: I'm a lifelong and committed animal lover. My family always had pets and I have an innate connection and affection for all animals. My family had Old English Sheep dogs (also a horse and cats) so I'm very comfortable around animals. Pets usually sense this and take to me immediately. I have a quiet, gentle nature and will do everything I can to make your pet feel safe and cared for and for you to trust that your dog is in the best hands. I'm very physically active and am more than happy to take energizing walks and hikes with your dog or play unlimited games of fetch. I’m also neat and organized and will leave your home cleaner than when I arrived. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I have extensive experience with anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dispensing medication for both cats and dogs. I can provide excellent recent and local references as well. Can’t wait to meet you and your pet soon! I am currently home full-time and available for drop ins, dog walks, and house and dog sitting. I’m available last minute and anytime day or night, including overnights. My schedule is open and flexible so I’m able to spend quality time with your pets. I provide care in the owner’s home. I’m happy to stay overnight, provide drop-in visits, or dog walk. I like to have as much information as possible and ideally meet in person before accepting the job to see if we’re a good fit.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Encino
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!
Minerva is the most amazing pet sitter. She attends so well to my babies and their needs, and communicates with me so amazing and goes above and beyond for my cats. This is the second time I’ve booked with Minerva, and I will forever book with her when I leave out of town. She helps relieve so much worry when I’m gone, and I know they will be well taken care of, and I don’t have to worry. I am so glad I found her, and she’s so amazing.
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!!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Encino on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,758 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.
