“Barbara is just the best person to leave your dog with, period. She really cares about her “guests “, and sends lots of updates and wonderful pictures. If she is available just choose her. You will be glad you did.”
“Aston and Jay were awesome to work with and took great care of Kali! They consistently provided updates and pictures throughout her stay. Looking forward to booking with them again!”
“Craig and Naomi were fantastic sitters for our dog, Pikachu! They took great care of her, kept up with regular walks, and sent great photo updates that gave us total peace of mind. They were also incredibly understanding when our flight got canceled and we needed an extension. Highly recommend them—Pikachu can't wait to stay again!”
“Chan Woo is very timely, responsive and caring. I truly believe my dog was well taken care of and loved during the stay. He sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely comfortable leaving my little one with him and I would absolutely book with him again.”
“They took such great care of my Daisy girl and sent lots of pictures every day! You can tell they truly love dogs. Can’t wait to book with them again!”
“Joanna could not have been more kind and accommodating. My Daisy is with me all the time so it takes her awhile to warm up to someone new. Daisy knew a dog lover right off the bat. I saw her instantly bond with Joanna. I received photos all the time, and next time I need boarding, I will contact Joanna.”
“Darren & Nicole were fantastic! My dog did so well there and they did a wonderful job keeping me up to date with how he was. He also immediately took to Darren and apparently followed him around the house all the time. I’m so happy they also had their own dog at home for my dog to get to play with. Definitely going back!”
“Karina is amazing, she is the only one I trust with my nervous, skittish little rescue chihuahua mix Rupert. Rupert doesn’t trust many people but Karina’s calm and knowledgeable handling makes him comfortable. I don’t worry one bit when he is with her. She’s the best, I highly recommended Karina.”
“Jacquie is fabulous!! I felt so confident leaving my 11yr old tiny chihuahua with her. My dog can be nervous with new sitters and Jacquie worked with me to make sure my dog felt comfortable and calm. I received daily summaries accompanied by photos. Communication was clear, quick and consistent. My pup came home so happy and well loved!”
“Julieth took great care of Prunella and sent lots of pics and videos during her stay. Her other dogs were sweet and well behaved. She gave her a bath before sending her home. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their dog! 😊 I’ve been taking care of my friends’ dogs regularly for years — sometimes for a day, sometimes for longer stays — and I genuinely love having them around. That’s actually what made me finally decide to join Rover. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, following your dog’s usual routine, and of course giving them lots of attention and affection. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to personally care for every pet throughout the day. I have a 1.7 year-old daughter who absolutely loves animals and has separate childcare, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. I am the only person responsible for pet care during all Rover bookings. My home is located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. I also have a private, fully fenced backyard with a high fence, providing a safe and comfortable space for outdoor playtime. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, love, and care. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, happy and truly at home! 🐾❤️ I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to personally care for pets throughout the day. I can easily adjust my daily schedule to include walks, feeding, playtime and plenty of attention. I have a young daughter who has separate childcare, allowing me to focus on providing reliable and attentive pet care. I personally handle all pet care responsibilities during every booking I live in a quiet and peaceful home with a private, fully fenced backyard and a high fence, providing a safe space for outdoor playtime. My neighborhood is calm and perfect for walks. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so I can give each visiting pet plenty of individual attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, sleeping preferences, medications, and any special needs. I personally supervise and care for every pet during their stay. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved and truly at home. 🐾❤️
“Monica is just great, and maintenance excellent communication with regular photo updates. This is the second time we leave our beagle pup with her, this time for a full week and she took such great care of him. She even got him a special Christmas doggy treat!! Thank you again Monica and see you soon!”
“Patricia is an experienced, caring, and dedicated sitter! 10/10 recommend. She cared for my 2 small dogs (including my 5 year old who has anxiety) for a week and kept me regularly updated. I would book with her again!”
“Great experience. Great place. My dog seemed happy and playful after leaving there. I am sure he had a good time. I received pictures throughout the day of him and what he was doing.”
“Erin is awesome with Percy! We feel so comfortable leaving Percy in her care. Erin has the cutest dog, Kobe, also which is a major bonus! Thank you for all of the communication and the great care you take of Percy! Can’t wait till next time 🤩.”
“Cammy is amazing and so good with our babies. She is trustworthy and communicative and I know my pets are in the best hands when we need to leave town. Cammy, thank you again!”
“Leslie was amazing! Our dog can be a lot of work but she made her feel right at home. It made us feel so great leaving our dog with someone so caring and attentive; we were really able to enjoy our vacation without feeling bad for leaving our pup behind. I would HIGHLY reccomend Leslie, she was wonderful to work with.”
“As usual, they do such an excellent job taking care of my dogs. They LOVE staying here and I love it too because I know they’re safe, loved, and cozy in the backyard.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Encino
Keianna was such a pleasure to work with. She genuinely loves being with pets and it showed from the moment she met Dexter. She cared for him like he was her own and had great communication with us too. Definitely rebooking any time we need a reliable sitter for Dexter.
Absolutely blown away by Jess and Ed! I’ve used many pet sitters across the different cities I’ve lived in, and I can genuinely say these two are something special. They sent me some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen of my almost 9 year old German Shepherd, and seeing how happy, comfortable, and relaxed she was gave me so much peace of mind. I recently moved to LA and am still in the middle of transitioning, and they went above and beyond in so many ways. From taking the time to brush her to sharing amazing local recommendations for vets, daycares, groomers, and even allergy care, their thoughtfulness really stood out. They truly provided five-star service, and I feel so incredibly lucky to have found them! As a pet parent, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will 1000% be using them again. Thank you so much, Jess and Ed!!! Layla had the best time 🤍
Nicol was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the stay and incredibly flexible when we needed to extend our babies’ stay. She took great care of all them and was attentive to each of their individual needs. Our pups came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We truly appreciate her kindness and flexibility and would absolutely recommend her to others. We’d happily book with her again! 🐾💕
Melissa is amazing! She took such great care of our dog while we were away and even welcomed him into her home. It was a little difficult at first because our dog has separation anxiety and cried all night, but Melissa was so patient and persevered until she was able to calm him down. She even helped potty-train him since he wasn’t fully potty-trained yet! We also forgot to bring his food, but Melissa was kind enough to provide food for him, too. We’re so grateful for her patience, kindness, and dedication. We definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur babies! ❤️🐶
Nicole is awesome! She not only treated and cared for my pup, Browny, so well while I was abroad, but she was also great with communication. She regularly sent me pictures and videos, so I always knew how he was doing and could rest assured that he was happy and well taken care of. I’ve hired different pet sitters over the years, and some can be unreasonably pricey, but Nicole is very reasonable, accommodating, and genuinely caring. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby. Until next time, Nicole! Browny already misses you! 🐶❤️

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Encino can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Encino home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Encino.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Encino. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your Encino sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
