About: I don't have official Rover experience yet, but I'm a full time dog mom to my doodle, Jaxie, and before him, our beloved Roscoe, a pitbull we lost last year. I've also taken care of their cousins, Boomer (Australian Shepherd) and Jazzie (Husky/German mix), a handful of times. Different breeds, different energy levels, so I'm used to adjusting to each dog's personality and needs. I treat every pup like my own, lots of attention, patience, and love! I'm available for drop-ins and walks Monday through Sunday! Weekdays are a bit tighter since I work full time until 4pm and I'm home by 5:30, but I'm ready to play with your pups right after that. Weekends are when I have the MOST availability, pretty much all day, so those tend to be the easiest to book! I only offer walking and drop-ins for now. Safety means secure leashes, checking doors and gates, and staying alert on every visit so your pup is safe!
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have looked after animals my whole life. I stick closely to each pet's existing routine, same feeding times, same walk schedule, same little habits, because consistency is what keeps pets calm when their owner is away. I check in on mood and behavior throughout each visit so I can flag anything unusual right away. I currently dedicate my time to caregiving and have a flexible daily schedule. I'm out for a two hour class most mornings, but my wife also works from home and can step in during that time, so your pet is never without someone there. Outside of that, I'm home the rest of the day and can adjust freely to whatever timing works best for your pet's routine. Your pet's safety and comfort come first, always. I follow feeding, walk, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I keep a close eye on behavior throughout each visit so I can catch anything unusual early. I keep things calm and consistent, since that's what helps most pets relax when their owner isn't around.
“Heaven was right on time, respectful, kind, and communicative. She was wonderful with my senior cat and handled a long list of medication and care instructions with such grace. I really appreciated her visit and look forward to having her care for my cat again.”
About: Hello : ) I am a stay at home parent (with school aged children) looking to help provide trusted pet care. I have a great deal of experience caring for animals. I grew up raising baby birds and caring for many a variety of animals (including many different breeds of cats and dogs). In addition to my own, I was hired to watch other family's animals, starting around age 8 (alongside my mom) and then independently around age 11. I love how different animal's personalities can be and think they bring so much joy to our busy lives! I understand how challenging it can be with busy lives/careers, to find trusted pet care. Now that my kiddos are in school, I have some flexibility and would love to help provide others with kind and reliable pet care during busy work weeks. I am looking forward to meeting and caring for your little buddies! : ) I am a stay at home parent so AM - afternoon is very flexible. Depending on requests I can make time later afternoons and evenings and weekends as well but primarily very flexible from 7-2pm I will come to your home and offer a kind hello, playtime and walk and make sure any other details you ask for are attended to.
About: Before college, I had 2 dogs and a cat. One of the dogs was solely my responsibility aside from dealing with vet issues. Overall, I love making new pet friends, am fit and enjoy exercising with them, and am very adaptable to whatever you may need help with. I’m about to start a job working 35 hours a week on September 28th. At that point my only consistent availability will be Sunday and m-s after 6pm. Until then my availability is wide open! I will not be able to take your pets to my apartment because it would violate my lease. If I could, I would’ve just gotten my own pet.
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away. I work part-time about 30 hours a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the daytime. I’m able to fit pet care into my routine through morning, midday, and afternoon visits, and I’m especially available for walks, drop-ins, and cat care. I’m reliable about planning my schedule in advance so I can give each pet the attention and care they need. I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their pet’s environment clean, secure, and familiar. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, provide fresh water, follow feeding and medication instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and supervision. I also respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries, allowing them to feel comfortable and relaxed while I’m caring for them.
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!
“Kate was wonderful to work with when taking care of my KitKat! KitKat seemed really happy and open for pets with Kate. She was also great with giving KitKat her daily pills. Thank you again for watching her! I highly recommend Kate for watching your little ones!”
“Kimberly was very sweet and communicative with Juice! Took care of my cat for my 4 days out of town over Christmas at the last minute. Very grateful for the peace of mind.”
“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!”
“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 🥰”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and animals of all kinds ever sense I was younger I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, bunnies and even ducks I’ve rescued plenty as well so I have plenty of experience in administrating medication, or even caring for aggressive and difficult animals I have slight experience in training as well. I currently work part time but animal care is my passion so I put my full energy into caring for your furry friends 7 days a week I have a pup of my own if you’d like someone to keep your pup company and if not that’s alright too we can always play one on one I have no problem letting your pup free roam or crating
About: I’ve had dogs- and other animals- since I was 5 years old, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also looked after many other dogs over the years, so I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, giving them attention, care, and a safe, loving environment. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler approach. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I make sure to prioritize the time and attention each pet needs. I’m available on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays, as well as Wednesday through Friday afternoons and evenings. I’m flexible and reliable, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended care based on your pet’s schedule. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every environment. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. I always ensure a clean, secure space, keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and give them plenty of attention and care. I’m respectful of your home and communication is important to me.
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.
“Vincent took wonderful care of my older chihuahua when I had to travel. I’m super nervous about leaving my dog, but felt comfortable with Vincent right away. My doggo liked him right away too! Vincent was a great communicator and took really great photos during walks - which was awesome. Highly recommend.”
“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”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Encino
Daniela has been coming by on weekdays to let our dogs out while we're at work, and we could not be happier. She gives them real playtime instead of just a quick potty break, always tops off their water, and leaves the house exactly as she found it. Her communication is excellent. We always know when she's arrived and how the visit went, which takes a lot of worry off our minds during the workday. Our dogs clearly adore her. If you need someone reliable and genuinely good with animals, we recommend her without hesitation.
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!
Cecilia was wonderful with Abraham! She was very informative and had great communication throughout. Abraham loved her, and I was so happy that he ate for her right away (he normally doesn’t eat for a few days after I leave). I would definitely recommend her and will be using her 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!
Nayira was wonderful. She cleaned my dogs poop and put mail in the box an took care the dogs during a very bad 104 degree whether for 8 days. He kids are wonderful came with her to help. I recommend Nayira 100% you can trust her. I will be using Nayira and her kids many more times.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Encino stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Encino. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
