“I booked Ana to take care of my cat while I was away and it was my first time using Rover. She was very communicative, the meet and greet went well, and my cat totally trusted her off the bat. She paid close attention to detail while following my pets regular routine and my pet felt right at home while I was away. Would definitely trust Ana to take care of my cat again, she was great!”


About: **¡Hablo español!** I grew up with dogs and cats and have cared for them professionally for more than 15 years. I still love getting to know each pet’s personality. Whether your pet is staying in my home, joining me for a walk, or needs a drop in visit, I provide patient care and follow the routine they’re used to. ----------------------------- I’m comfortable with high energy dogs and can take yours for a jog if that suits their needs. I also have repeat clients whose dogs are happiest walking just a block or two, and that’s completely fine! My goal is to give each pet what they need, whether that’s affection, outdoor time, potty breaks, exercise, interactive play, or a quiet place to rest. ----------------------------- Although I love dogs, cats really speak to my heart. My family calls me the “cat whisperer.” I’m patient with shy cats and give them room to explore, hide, play, or come to me for attention when they’re ready. ----------------------------- I’m home most of the day, and there are no resident pets in our home. My wife works from home and can help while I’m out for my morning class. I’m comfortable caring for seniors and pets who need oral medication. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, litter, and medication, and send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. ----------------------------- My two daughters are old enough to understand to give pets their space when they need it. They love giving both cats and dogs lots of attention and love! ----------------------------- Please feel welcome to ask me anything if you have any questions! I currently dedicate my time to caregiving and have a flexible daily schedule. Both my wife and I work from home, so your pet is never without someone to watch over them. I can adjust freely to whatever timing works best for your pet's routine. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as I can, including feeding, walks, litter, medication, and anything else you tell me they need. I watch for changes in their appetite, energy, or behavior and let you know if something seems off. At my home, I only book pets from one household at a time, so your pet won’t be sharing the space with another client’s dog or cat. We have one entrance and are careful to keep the door closed. Shy cats can start in a quiet bedroom and come out when they feel ready. Dogs get walks and outdoor breaks based on their usual schedule. For visits in your home, I follow your instructions for caring for your pet and securing your home before I leave. I send photos and updates so you know how the visit went.
“Zoey did INCREDIBLE with our very needy, somewhat bipolar, cat. Despite his attempts and successes at drawing blood, she was always so attentive to him and giving me all the updates (which I love). I definitely recommend Zoey and will reach out to her when we go out of town again!”

“Our youngest cat is super shy and always hides when we have a guest over, but she doesn’t hide from Selah and actually lets her pet and play with her. So happy our little one is comfortable and our older cat enjoys Selah too!”

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of different breeds and walking dogs of all sizes. I love spending time outdoors and making sure pets get the exercise, attention, and care they need. Having owned an energetic American Bully, I know how important regular activity, attention, and patience are for dogs. I currently work as a grooming assistant, which has given me even more hands-on experience with animals of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, grooming care, or cuddles, I treat every pet like family and always follow your instructions to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule to care for pets. I can combine my work with pet care — just message me to check my availability for the day you need. When I care for pets at the client's home, I follow all instructions to keep pets safe and happy. I also clean up after them and keep their space tidy.
“Haley once again took amazing care of our girls! My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found such a kind and caring sitter in Haley. The girls love her and even our older cat (who can be pretty aloof/distant with others outside of our family) has enjoyed playing with her. Do not hesitate in hiring Haley--she's a gem!”

“Mario made sure he found a way to have my kittens fed when they didnt like a new flavor of wet food. I appreciate that he kept trying until they ate something and was communicating. Also he always cleans up their litter box which is so helpful.”

About: As a certified professional dog trainer, I bring more than pet care to every visit—I bring behavior expertise. Since 2015, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to sensitive rescue dogs. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, help building good manners, or simply compassionate care, I focus on creating positive experiences that build trust, confidence, and lasting skills. Dogs are at the center of my daily life. My schedule is built around training sessions, walks, enrichment activities, and pet care visits. Because working with dogs is my profession, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and make each pet’s physical and emotional well-being a priority. In clients’ homes, I maintain respect as a center point of my services. Whether we’re doing a walk, training session or drop-in, my goal is to respect your space and help your pup(s) feel comfortable and secure. Walks, play, enrichment, training reinforcement, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection and positive reinforcement are all part of my approach.
“I needed a cat sitter last minute, and Leyla was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She followed my instructions carefully and went above and beyond to ensure my cat was well-fed and happy. She also sent detailed notes, along with photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

“I can not say enough about Erika! I've been using her consistently for a few months now for both my cats and she is INCREDIBLE! reliability is a huge thing for me and she's never let me down or had to cancel. I also travel often and last minute and she's always been able to accommodate my needs! She's so sweet and loving to my babies, as if they were her own and you can see from the pictures that my fur babies love her just as much as she loves them! ❤️ if you're looking for some one trust worthy for your pets, she's your woman!!”

“Patty was great! She came to meet our 3 kitties and loved them like they were her own. We had total peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for while we were gone and we recieved tons of pictures during the week! We will 100% have her come again for any future trips!”


About: Because I'm a freelancer, I am able to spend plenty of time taking care of your pup! I grew up with a dog and love spending time with them. I'm a photographer so most days I'm just at home editing. I'm also a hip hop dancer and train for that. But our training is just at nighttime. I live in a good neighborhood with safe roads to walk on. Our home has lots of space as well, giving your pup plenty of space to roam!
“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!”


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 :)
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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Encino
Katherine was great at being on time and doing everything she was supposed to for my cat Arya - wet food, topping off fountain and refilling spare water bowl, cleaning litter box and taking a photo of Arya. She was communicative and let me know if there was anything wrong and brought in my Amazon package! She left great notes after each visit. Will book again in the future!

Bethany is a caring and thoughtful person. She watched our cat for 8 days (longest we’ve ever been away from our cat) and she took the best pictures and made sure our cat was happy and had company. I can’t recommend Bethany enough, she loves animals and is extremely reliable.

Minerva did such a fantastic job. I was a little worried since we needed her to care for a lot of pets with different foods, but she handled it all gracefully. She was also very accommodating to the times we needed her to come. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is detail oriented and trustworthy, your search can end here! Thank you Minerva!

Haley once again took amazing care of our girls! My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found such a kind and caring sitter in Haley. The girls love her and even our older cat (who can be pretty aloof/distant with others outside of our family) has enjoyed playing with her. Do not hesitate in hiring Haley--she's a gem!

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!

As of September 2026, there are 7,936 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.

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.
