About: I grew up with animals all my life. What puts me aside is I’ve had exotic animals, I took care of a squirrel, I have a Bengal cat at home. I have 2 dogs 2 cats at home. I have to take my dogs on a morning walk, I take them out before work, and when I come home from work. I have my siblings at home who are all adults and will play with your pets (: We have doggy doors that open and close for pets to go out whenever they please. My animals are all fixed so no impregnating can happen. My pets do not have fleas, and are all potty trained.
About: I've given care to many dogs. Mostly were my friends dogs or my housemates dog. I love them. They are cute and easy to be loved. I'm working from home and out of job market due to recent layoffs. I can walk or do drop in any time of the day I currently don't have a place for dog boarding. I mean I wish I had. I'd rather walk dogs outside or drop in. . .
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I am completely comfortable administering oral medications, following strict feeding routines, and giving anxious pets the calm environment they need. I am currently working part time in the afternoons. I’ll be available to walk your pets or drop in in the mornings and evenings, Monday-Friday. I will strictly follow the feeding, exercise, and sleeping schedules they are used to at home to keep their anxiety low and their routine consistent.
About: I’ve dedicated years to caring for dogs through rescue, fostering, boarding, and pet sitting. I also run a dog rescue, so caring for dogs is a huge part of my everyday life. I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and temperaments—including shy, fearful, anxious, and behaviorally challenging dogs who need extra patience and understanding. I also have lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs with medical needs and special care requirements, including administering medications and monitoring dogs who need extra attention. I have my own Yorkie, Duchess, who absolutely loves having friends over! She’s used to sharing her space with foster dogs and visiting pups, which makes my home a fun and social environment for dogs who enjoy canine companionship. One of the things my clients especially love is that their dogs can get healthy, appropriate socialization while staying with me. Because I regularly foster dogs, your pup can enjoy companionship and interaction with other dogs when it’s a good fit for their personality. I always prioritize safety and make sure every dog’s individual needs and comfort level come first. And there’s plenty of room to enjoy it! I have a beautiful, dog-friendly 3,000-square-foot backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, relax, and get some exercise. I also believe you shouldn’t have to wonder how your dog is doing while you’re away. I provide daily photo and video updates so you can see your pup enjoying their stay, getting comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention. To me, dogs are family—not just pets. When your dog is in my care, they’ll receive lots of love, attention, companionship, and individualized care in a home where dogs are genuinely part of everyday life. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your dog is being cared for as one of my own. I run a foster-based dog rescue, and most of the work is done from my phone, so my daily life genuinely revolves around dogs. I also work in the fashion industry, but typically only 1–3 days per month. On the rare occasions I’m working, I have professional dog trainers I work with who can step in and provide care. This means your dog will never be left without attentive, experienced care or have a lapse in their routine. Most days, I’m home and available throughout the day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and individual attention. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can always see how your pup is doing. I have a beautiful, dog-friendly 3,000-square-foot backyard where pups can safely play, explore, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time. My Yorkie, Duchess, loves having friends over! I also run a foster-based dog rescue, so I have extensive experience safely introducing and socializing dogs with different personalities and needs. Through my rescue work, I have extensive hands-on experience recognizing when a dog may be uncomfortable, becoming ill, or experiencing a medical issue, and knowing when professional veterinary care is needed. I keep many of the supplies and essentials needed to address common issues on hand and have established relationships with multiple veterinary offices for additional support when needed. Dogs are always supervised, and I can accommodate crating, separation, medication routines, and other individual needs. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me.
About: Hello there pet parents :) I have been involved in rescue work and have been caring for dogs for the last 25 years. I have the natural tendency to be cautious in life and because of this, I overprotect my own pets and especially those pets whom I am entrusted to care for. I take my job very seriously. I must say, the best part of my job is the pleasure of getting to know your fur family as individuals and to appreciate their uniqueness (I love when they can make me laugh). Note, that I pay special attention and am patient with pets who are shy and who need time feeling comfortable. I strive to gain your trust, peace of mind, and repeat business and referrals.
About: What sets me apart is my deep commitment to following your exact routine. I am attentive to detail whether your pet requires a strict medication schedule, extra potty breaks, or highly specific care instructions. I truly love animals and focus on giving them my undivided attention, plenty of affection, and the dedicated time they deserve. I am able to care for animals at least 5 times out of the week for 4-6 hours. Depending on the days required, I do have school at certain times a week. I have hobbies and obligations to do as well. I believe 4-6 hours is time that I do have depending on the day of course as mentioned. I could possibly even spend a full day if needed. Again this depends on the day of the week and month. The reason I can’t take in animals at my own home is because I simply don’t have enough space or else I totally would! Also, the baby of the bunch doesn’t do well with new comers. I feed my cats at least 3 times a day they beg like they haven’t eaten in days I might add. They often let me know when they want things by getting my attention and running to the bowl or to their toys or the door to be let out. They have a litter box with cat pellets so It doesn’t stink up the entire house. Laser pointer sessions and dangling cat toys are their favorite. Yes of course the box the cat trees come in are more fun than the actual tree. Cat trees are replaced often, my cats love to chat with me when I talk they talk back. They love wet food every twice a week with many ingredients. My dad’s dog I take care of while he’s on 1 year vacation loves hiking trails that I usually walk on haha. He prefers the best of the best kinds of dog food won’t eat anything else! He’s a good boy and they’re sometimes good cats since they like to knock things over every once in a while or try and pick at my food when I’m on a quick bathroom break. All in all it’s easy to take care of animals in my opinion my cats were not easy to take care of as kittens they needed a lot done and one of them always had issues with her bladder and glands. She’s better now thanks to God and me for the outrageous bills. I’d do it for every animal if I could but I just don’t have enough resources or money to do so. I do love animals and they deserve joy, a wide environment, and amazing care while they’re living and breathing.
About: Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a dependable, patient, and caring pet sitter who loves animals of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important pets are to families, so I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and willing to follow any special instructions to make sure your pet gets the best care possible. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and my client’s home. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special requests. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs and provide regular updates and photos for owners so they can feel reassured while away.
“Lianna was attentive and understanding with Wiley. She took the time to let him warm up to her and he loved her after a few visits. She is a great sitter who followed all directions!”
“It was a great relief to have Elaine sit my kitty and rabbit. It's the first t time I've ever used a pet sitter and I was very reluctant. Elaine came for the intro interview and was very knowledgeable about all my pets and won me over. Very professional and prompt in all responses. I will use her again.”
About: I’ve had pets since childhood. I currently have a senior dog and my hands-on experience caring for adult dogs with specific emotional needs. Because I live with a senior, I am naturally patient, highly observant, and deeply respect a dog’s established routine. I am fully comfortable administering oral medications, including anxiety medication, and I know how to keep a calm, low-stress environment for pets who get nervous when their owners are away. Whether I am arriving for a high-energy neighborhood walk or providing cozy, in-home sitting, I focus on building trust with your dog at their own pace so they feel completely safe and secure. I’m a part time nanny and because my job doesnt start until 3:45pm my mornings and early afternoons are completely open for adventures! I’m here for bright and early mornings, or lunch drop-ins and daytime playdates. A quick note for house sitting friends: I do head out to my nanny job from about 3:15pm to 10pm on weekdays. I will always make sure your pup gets a long walk, and a full belly right before I leave, and I return immediately afterwards for overnight cuddles. If your sweet fur baby is happy to snooze and do their own thing for a few hours in the evening, we will be an excellent match. I look forward to meeting you and discussing how I can best support your pets daily routine. I already pet sit and house sit for several families in the area, and I make sure to treat every home and pet I visit exactly like my own-with total respect, love, and tons of belly rubs!

I highly recommend my dog sitter! He is always on time, very responsible, and does a great job taking care of my dog. I really appreciate his daily updates and reports—they give me peace of mind while I’m away. I will definitely book him again the next time I go on vacation. Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby! 🐾❤️
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!
We’re so lucky to have such an amazing dog sitter! Holly is incredibly patient with our doggo who can be stubborn when it comes to going outside for bathroom breaks. She always handles it with such calm persistence and care. We really enjoy the comedic photo updates, especially the “trail of treats” leading to a very judgmental looking Sam who is contemplating whether he should follow the trail and go outside. It always shows how much effort and creativity she puts in.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Fernando is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 16,282 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Fernando. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 San Fernando. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
