“Zoey was fantastic. It was our first time having someone other than family take care of our cats, but they quickly decided that she was family! Zoey was very attentive, to both cats and humans, and brought a sense of calm to our home. I would highly recommend Zoey and will definitely have her watch our girls again!”


About: We understand it can be nerve wrecking to leave your cat with someone new. We have two cats ourselves, which we consider our kids, so we know the importance of making your pet feel safe. Moreover, we have experience in administering medications to cats, so there is no need to worry about your pet not taking their medication on time. We would love to take in your furry critter so they can hang out with ours, play with toys, get treats, and lots of love. Plenty of cat beds, a huge cat tree, and scratchers to go around. We can even drop in and spend time with your cat in the comfort of their own home. I’ve been pet sitting since I was in high school, so it’s something I’m comfortable with. We both have grown up with cats in the home. I’m working full-time and my fiancé works part-time. In between the two of us, your cat will receive lots of love and attention. Reach out for questions about our schedule. Our indoor cats have free roam of the apartment. There is a fenced balcony they can go on if they wish, but only under supervision.
“We are very happy with the way Juliia took care of our cat, Shadow, while we were away this past weekend. She was very communicative with us and included photographs in her messages, updating us on how things were going back home. She was respectful of our home and took good care of everything while we were away. Shadow was relaxed when we returned. We'll be reaching out to Juliia again in the future!”

“Farrah is a wonderful sitter. I was out of the country for 2 weeks and she took great care of my cat. He can be a handful sometimes but she did great. She regularly updated me and was very communicative and responsive. Will book with Farrah again!”

About: Ive had furry best friends since the day I was born, I know how special they are! Making other people and pets happy makes me happy. I currently have open availability, I’m in college and I use Rover to make money doing what I love! I’m very flexible when it comes to getting up early or staying up late for pet care. I have 3 dogs, one super needy frenchie and two crazy golden retrievers. I also have a black kitty. I’ve seen it all and done it all from house sitting for weeks to a simple walk around the neighborhood.
About: I’ve been working in pet care for about five years now, with the last several years full-time here in the San Fernando Valley. I have experience with a wide range of animals, but I primarily focus on dogs, especially when it comes to behavior, structure, and training. I spent about four years working at a local dog rescue, where I gained hands-on experience with anxious, reactive, and senior dogs, as well as dogs with medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral meds and injections like insulin, and I’m very attentive when it comes to health and behavior changes. In addition to general care, I’ve worked alongside trainers and developed a more structured approach to handling dogs. I really enjoy helping dogs build better habits, whether that’s basic obedience, leash manners, or just creating a calmer, more balanced routine. I especially enjoy working with puppies and dogs that need a little extra guidance. I offer a variety of services including walks, drop-ins, day care, overnight stays, and boarding. I do this full-time, so I’m very flexible and can usually accommodate different schedules and needs. At home, I have two dogs and two cats who are all friendly and have helped me foster and care for other animals over the years. Because I live in a smaller space, I typically only take one client’s pet at a time to make sure they’re comfortable and get my full attention. Overall, I’m patient, calm, and very in tune with the dogs I work with. I genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners, and I take a lot of pride in providing reliable, thoughtful care. Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is built entirely around the animals I’m working with. I’m out every day doing walks, drop-ins, and sittings throughout the San Fernando Valley. Because of that, I’m very flexible with timing and can often accommodate different schedules or last-minute needs. If you reach out, there’s a good chance I’m already in the area and can make something work. live in a pet-friendly apartment and keep a structured, calm environment for the animals in my care. My routine includes a balance of exercise, play, rest, and downtime so dogs don’t get overstimulated. Pets go out multiple times a day for potty breaks and walks. I also incorporate mental stimulation and light training into the day when appropriate. I do use crates as part of a safe and structured routine, especially when I’m away or during rest periods, but dogs are never left for long stretches and are given plenty of attention and activity throughout the day. My goal is to create a safe, predictable environment where pets can relax and feel secure.
“This was my first time using a pet sitter to watch over my kitty and I was a lil nervous as a fur mom. Kimberly was communicative and lovely from the first point of contact on. She sent daily pics, videos, and I loved how she interacted with my fur baby so sweetly. I definitely would book her again in the future, and I highly recommend her!”
About: I love animals and have been pet-sitting for friends and family for as long as I can remember. I am excited to help you out and become friends with your dog(s). If you are walking or skating distance (under 5 miles), I can be available regularly AM, afternoon, & PM. Otherwise we will have to schedule 2 days in advance. Thank you! I only offer walks, and pet sitting at your home. This means I will come to your home and have a walking route planned out for your dog, refill fresh water, & food (if needed). If it's cat or cats, I will refill water and food as needed as well. I love animals and Im sure you'll see thay upon meeting the first time. I look forward to helping any way I can.
“Cynthia is amazing! She spoiled my cats like they were hers. Having her take care of my cats gave me a level of comfort I haven’t had with others. She sent photos every visit and it was clear the cats were well taken care of. Do not hesitate—Cynthia is the best.”

About: Hi, I'm Pam and I'd love to meet your furry family member! I've worked with animals my whole life. I've been arounds dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, birds, fish and even reptiles and have pet sat for friends and family for many years. I used to do volunteer animal photography for a local rescue. I had to get to know all the animals I was doing photos of and would help walk them occasionally to get to photo sites. In rescues, animals can be under a lot of stress and have a lot of stimulation. I learned how to read their temperaments so that I knew the best way to handle them in order to keep them and myself safe and everyone happy. I still do photography, especially of animals. So you can expect some fun pictures every time =) I currently work from home, so I can usually fit in pet care through out the day. Let me know what kind of schedule you need!

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 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 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.

About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Northridge
Sanaz was totally reliable. She sent photos for each visit, cleaned my cats’ many litter boxes, and kept things clean (which I don’t even do). When I came back, the water bowls were clean and full and the automatic feeders were filled. Plus my cats liked her! I think one actually has a crush on her.
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!

Emily is fantastic! She completed her drop ins at the time scheduled and sent lots of pictures. You could tell my cats were super happy with having her there. Even my super scaredy-cat warmed up to her while I was away my schedule is just all over the place and she was so accommodating to last-minute changes as well which I really appreciate.

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

Jackie did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our cat and dog while we were away, truly the best pet sitter we’ve had in years. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and full of positive energy. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such loving and capable hands. We came home to two very happy, well-cared-for animals! We couldn’t be more pleased and will absolutely be asking her to pet sit for us again. Highly recommend!

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
