About: I've had and taken care of cats my whole life! With 30 years of experience as a cat mom and also experience fostering and volunteering, I can take care of cats at any age or rambunctiousness. I work full time in Hollywood, so I have most availability for drop-in checks early in the morning (7 or 8AM) and after working hours (6:30PM+), with total availability on weekend days. At this point, I cannot take someone's pet into my own home and will be caring for your pet at your home! When I'm looking after someone's cat, I take special care to not just cover the basics (food, water, litterbox), but to make sure I make time to play with your cat and give them quality time and attention, as well as making sure your home continues to be a safe space while you're not home. I am happy to spend as much or as little time in your home as you are comfortable with, as long as I am able to make sure your pet is happy and healthy!
“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our dog Cocoa! She was so thoughtful, patient, and easy to work with. She gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our travels knowing that our dog was in wonderful hands”
“Booked Gina for my kitty babies and she did great! They loved her 🥰 will definitely be a repeat client. Very caring and kept me informed and updated the whole time, even offered to get them things if needed it. Highly recommend her for your furr baby needs”
“Kerry took amazing care of my senior pup during the drop-in I scheduled! I’m usually home with him but had to be away for an extended period and she happily took him for his potty break, gave him his snack and hung out with him for a bit while I was away. It helped make a stressful day much less stressful. ♥️”
About: I’ve cared for many types of animals including: dogs, cats, turtles, birds,rats and fish. Obviously there are still many animals out there and I would love to learn about your unique pets. I’m dedicated to caring for your pet with mindfulness, love and attention to detail I currently work part time so I work nights for 6 hours 4 days out of the week. I’m available for morning till late afternoon care, I also have no problem checking in again after work. On my days off I’m available all day those days are sun, mon and Thursday I have a spacious studio with designated space for boarding and I don’t have anything for a pet to mess with or accidentally hurt themselves. I do not have a crate but can get one if needed
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my unparalleled experience and genuine love for dogs, cultivated over 35 years of dedicated care! From raising puppies to caring for elderly dogs, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every pet sitting assignment. My experience allows me to confidently administer medications, provide specialized care, and handle any situation that may arise with patience and compassion. Beyond my skills, Im a huge dog-lover! Ive had dogs since the day I was born and can't imagine life without one! I treat each dog as if they were my own. With me, your beloved dog will not only receive wonderful care, but will also experience the warmth and affection of a true dog lover, making their stay with me an unforgettable and very happy experience :) I work from home, so I'm very flexible. I can watch your dog at my house, take your dog on walks, or house sit at your place during the day. I live in a house. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a pool and grassy areas for your dog to do their business. I also have a Belgian Malinois who is so loving and playful and loves other dogs! I'm also a mom of 9 year old twins who LOVE dogs :)
“McKenzie has been so responsive and helpful and reassuring and made me feel like my kitty was in good hands. She was prompt and thorough and adapt at giving medicine. And she always sent very sweet pictures of my cat . I’m so happy to have booked with her and I will certainly do it again.”
“Jennifer was so amazing with my cat Lily - she actually got Lily to play with her!! 🥹 Jennifer was detailed oriented, followed directions, and I came home to a happy and healthy cat! Would definitely book again. Thank you so much 😊”
About: I will always make sure your pet is the number one in my space, or their own. Love is a universal language that I empathize with all of my clients and their companions! I have no life so feel free to give me one! I miss my family pets back in Michigan and hope that it reflects in the work I perform. I will always maintain clear communication on what your pet needs, when they need it, and keep yours and my space both tidy, clean, and safe of anything that may cause your furry little family any type of distress!
About: I love dogs, just seeing one makes me smile, sometimes I just laugh seeing them with their head out a car window, digging a hole and just having fun doing their thing. I am the go to for family and friends and am the ultimate dog uncle. I’m very active and love to walk and run dogs so that we both get the exercise that we need. In between my bookings I have a good amount of free time and am always looking for a reson to get out and be active. I’m an environmentalist and love animals as a whole but dogs are in my top 5 along with Grizzly Bears, Peregrine Falcons, Dolphins and Killer Whales. I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment and am close to a couple beautiful parks and a mini dog park.
“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.”
About: As dog owners ourselves, we believe in a simple principle: we won't do anything for your dog that we wouldn't do for our own. During the time they're with us, we treat them as if they were our own, with full attention and care. What makes our care different is that your dog gets the attention of two people, not one! Both my spouse and I work from home, so there's always someone around for companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also know LA life can be unpredictable, so having two of us means we're able to stay flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. As a clinical psychologist with a background in behavioral psychology, plus hands-on experience having personally adopted and trained a rescue dog, I understand dogs' needs on a deeper level, from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. Over the years caring for dogs across LA, we've worked with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including dogs with picky eating, excessive barking, or high energy levels, and tailor our approach to each dog's individual needs. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking! There's a large, quiet park right by our home where we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable. **First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking!** https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 Schedule Both my spouse and I work from home, so we're available for care any day of the week! Weekdays and weekends alike. This also gives us a lot of flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a quick daycare visit or long-term boarding, we'd love to help. Safety, trust & environment In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, and with two of us around, dogs are never left unattended! You'll get regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I follow your dog's routine closely and keep safety top of mind, whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets (We have three playpens! on hand, so we can easily section off space when needed). Our back patio is fully fenced, so dogs can enjoy off-leash time to run and play safely. We've made sure there's nothing sharp or hazardous back there, and we clean up after every potty break and hose down the area to keep it fresh and sanitary. Neighborhood dogs stop by for potty breaks too, so it's also a great spot for your pup to socialize. Being a typical Asian household, we don't wear shoes inside and that same care extends to keeping things clean for your pup! We vacuum 3-4 times a day, wash food and water bowls after every use, and wipe down paws with baby wipes (dog-wipes on request!) after walks.
“Muskan did an awesome job with Indy! She worked with him a few days during a week and was on time every day and made sure he had some outside time and cuddles during the day!”

Dana is a wonderful and thoughtful sitter. The photos that she sent of our dog and cat showed how happy they were with her. We felt secure in our choice of sitter and would definitely choose Dana in the future. She even watered our tomatoes while we were gone! Excellent sitter all around!
I am so grateful for Mikayla’s consistently thoughtful care of my beloved shy/grumpy six year old cat. The hardest part of travel is being away from my cat and it is a relief knowing he’ll have a kind, watchful eye on him, and access to his favorite treats while I’m away :)
Minerva was truly fantastic! As a very anxious cat mom and type A personality, I tend to leave a full detailed list of instructions when we’re away. Minerva was so kind and on top of everything! She truly made my anxiety go away. Our cat is super sweet but can also be a bit particular - she LOVED Minerva . We’re so happy we found her and will 100% use her for ALL future requests. She was so kind, on top of everything, clean, great communication, so understanding, reassuring. Just the perfect sitter while we were away.
Paris did an excellent job taking care of my cat, who is a very picky eater and slow to trust anyone. She gave me regular updates and was very patient trying new techniques to get him to eat and socialize. I came home to a very happy kitty! Overall Paris was a responsible sitter who went above and beyond to make sure my scaredy cat was well taken care of. I’d trust her to watch my pet again.
Bethany kitty sat my kitten Bianca for a five day weekend and my kitten had a blast. I got the cutest updates- I could tell from what Bethany wrote after each visit that Bianca felt really comfortable with her and got plenty of good play time. Bethany really got to see all the cute aspects of her personality. And she got so many great pics of Bianca! We met before the first day I needed cat sitting to go over where things were and to so she could meet Bianca. She’s such a nice person, very professional, I’d definitely book her again! Thank you!
All of my kitties fell in love with Vanessa. She was as attentive to the shy and aloof adult cats as she was to the playful 12-week-old foster kittens. This was something I really appreciated, as my adult cats - while not hostile - aren't exactly charming to strangers. Vanessa told me she brought her own cat from to California when she moved here. That told me she thinks of pets as true lifetime companions. She then also adopted a dog and just exudes positive vibes. I would 100% recommend her services.
First time using Rover and so nervous to leave my babies. Emma was so patient and kind with me sending her pictures and long written out instructions to make sure I didn't forget anything. She followed them all and sent me updates. I've never felt more comfortable leaving them with anyone. Thank you Emma

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sherman Oaks on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 8,126 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sherman Oaks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
