“Selah did a great job taking care of our Joey! She was communicative and sent daily photos. Joey always looked comfortable in the photos she sent which was reassuring. I would recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
“Elena did an awesome job with our dog, and she was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout the stay. She sent great pictures, let us know when anything needed our attention, and was always willing to help if we needed it. Would absolutely book her again!”
About: Hello!! I’m a passionate animal lover with professional experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I currently work at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I supervise group play, perform health checks, administer oral medications, and make sure every dog receives safe, attentive care. I’m CPR and Pet First Aid certified and have experience with senior dogs, reactive dogs, epileptic dogs, and pups who need a little extra patience. As an owner of a skittish dog, who is not much of a “people dog”, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and that building trust takes time. I also have two cats of my own, so I’m comfortable caring for feline friends as well! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I can also provide basic grooming, nail trims when appropriate, and occasional overnight stays depending on my schedule. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies, and hope to have the opportunity to provide them with safe, reliable, and loving care. I am available mostly in the late mornings and afternoons after 11 am. I will be starting school at the end of August but I am mostly flexible! Depending on the service and location I am providing, my top priority would be your pet’s safety and wellbeing. It’s important to make sure each pets needs are met, ensuring their comfort and safety. Every pet is unique and has their own personality so I try my best to adapt my care approach based on one’s individual needs, medical conditions, and any other specific instructions provided by the owners.
“Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.”
“AMAZING!!! I just got a new pup only 9 weeks old and we have been attached at the hip. I had to go to an office lunch and was in such a stress to find him someone good. After being cancelled on I found Daniela. I knew off the bat she was a dog lover because she didn’t mind my little Harlows kisses ! She was truly great and I felt so relieved. She sent tons of feedback and pictures and even waited for me as I was running late. 100%%% recommendable. Thank you daniela!”
“Jaclyn was amazing with our fur babies. This was our 1st time using someone other than immediate family when caring for our fur babies while out of town. Her communication made me feel at ease during this process. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Went above and beyond to make sure that I felt comfortable, followed all directions and was very attentive and very flexible. Will definitely use her anytime. I’m in vegas thank you so much Cyndi .”
“Leaka treated our pets like family. She was very communicative with us, keeping us in the know with all our pets shenanigans. She was attentive with them, providing play and even snuggles. We could tell our pets were well taken care of. We will definitely look to Leaka for future pet sitting.”
“Lilly was fantastic with our three dogs. Two of them are 15 y/o and needed a lot of personal attention - and she was terrific. The dogs all loved her, she stayed in touch with us and sent pictures. You know when you meet Lilly that you have a super dependable and kind person that will care for your pets like they were hers. The ratings only go up to '5' but she earned a '10'!!”
“My cat needs especial treatment due to his urinary issue. Leyla did a great job, feeding him on time with the exact instruction I asked her plus the medication. I recommend her to ALL cat's parents!”
“Carlos took wonderful care of our 8 year old dog and our new puppy on very short notice, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. From the start, he was incredibly thoughtful, asking detailed follow up questions to really understand each dog’s specific routines, preferences, and needs. It was clear he genuinely cared about providing the best possible care. He stayed in our home during the booking and was very respectful of the space, leaving everything clean and well cared for. What stood out most was his availability and attentiveness, especially with such a young puppy who requires constant supervision and structure. Knowing our dogs were getting so much time, attention, and care in their own home gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely book with Carlos again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter.”
“This was our second time booking with Russell. He did a fantastic job. Joey is very comfortable with him and we can tell he took very good care of her while we were gone. Highly recommend for your fur baby!”
“Suezy is the best! She took such good care of my pup and my home. It was my first time leaving my baby Roux with a stranger and I was so nervous! But Suezy met with us early and eased any doubts. She was attentive, respectful, gave frequent updates, and left our home clean and without a trace (except for the adorable photos she took of roux during her stay)! I know my baby loved her just as much as I do. We will absolutely be booking with Suezy again in the future.”
“Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were away for 12 days. From the start, we knew he was in great hands with her! We'll definitely look for her help the next time we're out of town.”
“Hailey was fabulous with my pets while I was out of town. I had no service for about 9 nights and was nervous to leave my kids for that long but even without service I still received updates and my dog seemed to do great with her. She’s great!”
“Kim is truly one of a kind. She watched our sweet girl while we were out of town, and to say she went above and beyond would be an understatement. Our dog has a seizure disorder and follows a strict medication schedule—not exactly easy care. But Kim handled everything with total confidence and care, allowing us to relax knowing Coco was in the best hands. During our trip, Coco had some stomach, upset which is not uncommon for her, and Kim responded with such grace and compassion. She not only cleaned everything thoroughly, but gave us many updates on how Coco was feeling. We certainly did not expect Kim to clean up at the level that she did and we are forever grateful. On top of everything, Kim took the initiative to wash all the bedsheets and towels and somehow managed to leave our home spotless, even better than we left it. What touched us most was the compassion behind everything she did while taking care of Coco. On top of it all, she gifted us a breathtaking hand-drawn sketch of our beloved girl. It brought tears to our eyes—so much love captured in every line. That drawing, and Kim’s kindness will stay with us forever. Thank you, Kim!!!”
“Ashton and Jay stayed at our home with our 2 doggies for 4 nights. We have not traveled without our dogs for quit a few years. One of them was adopted during Covid so we have never been separated. I am so happy I found Ashton and Jay. The dogs were well taken care of. Lots of attention and they stayed in all of their normal routines. Even though we missed them terribly Aston kept us updated with texts, pictures and videos. We will call on them to sit with our fur babies again. Thank you!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Encino
Daniela is amazing! She stayed overnight with our cockapoo and gave her so much love! She sent us pics daily. Our dog was very happy and relaxed with her which was really reassuring. We’re looking forward to having Daniela come again this summer. We’re very grateful to have found her.
Erika was wonderful! My dog is older and is not always keen to walk in the heat, so Erika took her to a shady park so my dog could roll around in the grass and in the shade and have lots of fun! My dog was happy and healthy when I returned! Thank you, Erika for a great job!!!
Wow! Carlos was just the best! A total pro who handled my snippy Min-Pin with so much ease and care! Carlos stayed at our house while we were away on a trip and made sure everything was taken care of as if it was his own home. He even watered my plants and an outdoor garden for me AND searched through some papers to help find one I'd accidentally left behind on my desk! A lifesaver for sure and I'm so grateful for the Rover connection to Carlos!
Liz really went above and beyond while caring for our dog and cat. We had to travel last minute and we had complete peace of mind once we knew Liz was available to watch our pets. She relieved all stress from the situation and the pets were beyond happy to be in her company / care for 5 days. They absolutely adore her and we will continue to book her when we travel.
Audry was amazing when she babysat our dog Lucy. She took great care of her and her discipline on sticking with our pup’s schedule was well appreciated. This was the first time having a sitter stay in our home, and the trust and vulnerability this takes is huge but Audry made the experience less stressful or nerve racking as she took great care of our home and our Lucy. We will definitely book again, and won’t hesitate to reach out!
Prerana & Aubrey were absolutely amazing. They stayed with our dog for 9 days and always kept us up to date with pictures and how he has been throughout the day. The house was even clean and well kept when we got home. We will absolutely be booking with them again!
Taylor is amazing. She was wonderful with our dogs, who she willingly got to know prior to our trip. They immediately bonded with her, even tho one of our dogs is usually slow to connect with new people. She is super responsible and always communicated with us on a daily basis while we were gone. She also took good care of our home and plants. We highly recommend Taylor!
Cynthia watched my dog, Rocco, at my hotel while my husband and I went to dinner and a concert. She was very flexible about coming to our hotel. Cynthia had great communication and made me feel reassured that Rocco was in good hands. She sent texts and photos throughout the night. She took Rocco for a couple walks and fed him dinner. I would definitely recommend her others and will select her again the next time we are in Las Vegas.
Kim was awesome!!! When things fell through with another sitter we had to scramble to find a replacement last minute, and we feel so lucky to have found Kim!! She was able to help us out on short notice, was super communicative sending lots of updates and pictures, and left the house looking better than it did when we left! She was also incredibly patient with our shy puppy, and did an excellent job taking care of our whole pack.
Tanya was awesome! She checked in twice a day with photos, summarizing my dog's day and also any household items I had asked her to handle. She took great care of Thunder for 3 1/2 weeks which is a lot of handle! I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. When I got home, the house was very clean and organized, and she even left me a little welcome home note and surprise. ALL the stars!
Stephanie was wonderful! Very professional and calm demeanor. She took great care of my dog and house during a three day trip. She sent us updates and was great to work with and friendly. House was in perfect order and dog was happy on our return. Looking forward to having her back.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Encino on Rover is $57.75 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 12,587 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Encino. 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 Encino 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 Encino 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 Encino 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
