“Between being available for a last minute booking to having incredible patience and flexibility with so many logistical issues the day of, Kaitlin was a total lifesaver. She was wonderfully communicative and willing to navigate troubleshooting apartment access problems not only with me, but also my neighbor AND my landlord. She met my dog with warmth and enthusiasm and followed instructions to a T. With juggling so many things that day, it gave me so much peace of mind to have such a proactive partner and thoughtful caretaker for my sweet little pup. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors and every size in between. I also volunteer at an animal shelter and foster dogs, especially bigger dogs, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I have experience with training too, from basic commands to leash manners and working with shy or reactive dogs. I'll follow your routine and treat your pup like my own. My schedule is flexible, so I can work around your pet's routine for walks, feeding, and meds. I'm available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I plan my day so your pet never has to wait long for a potty break or some attention. Your pet's safety comes first. I always use a secure leash and or harness on walks whatever you feel more comfortable with, keep doors and gates closed, and check for anything a curious pup could get into. I'll follow your instructions for food, meds, and house rules, and send photo and video updates so you always know how things are going.

About: I had the pleasure of growing up alongside the most wonderful mix of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, a rat, a chinchilla, a hedge hog, fish, chickens, ducks, horses, goats, a pigeon, quails, and even a peacock! My parents showed me the ropes of pet care long ago when they started a horse boarding stable and their own Rover pet sitting service. I joined them on many dog walks, cat visits, and pet feedings, enjoying the time we got to share with so many animals. I now own two beautiful guinea pigs named Bob and Teddy that definitely border on spoiled in their luxury pig oasis. I personally can't imagine life without the joy pets bring us, and I want to make sure your pets get the same love you give them when you're away! I currently run an Etsy shop out of my apartment, so I am always able to quickly get to your pets as needed. I am free to fit the schedule of your pets to ensure their normal feedings and play times remain untouched when you're away. Since I already commonly work on the weekends for my shop, I have no problem getting the chance to care for your pet any day of the week. I will follow the instructions you leave for your pet to follow with care. As someone who knows animals, I know their routines are vital to their comfort. I will happily let pets out in a fenced yard, go for walks, and feed to their needed schedule. I'm also very willing to care for a variety of pets! The less common Rover clients deserve love and care, too!

About: I've been caring for dogs for most of my life, helping family, friends, and neighbors with their pets while also growing up in a home with multiple dogs. That experience has given me a strong understanding of each dog's unique needs, personality, and routine. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to providing the same love, care, and attention I would give my own pets. Whether you're traveling, working, or simply have a busy schedule, you can feel confident knowing your dog will be safe, happy, and well cared for in my hands. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, personalized care for your pet. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every dog receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and am committed to keeping them happy, comfortable, and safe while you're away. I provide loving, reliable pet care in both my home and my clients' homes. When pets stay with me, I make sure they are comfortable, safe, and receive plenty of attention, exercise, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and affection while following their regular routine. When caring for pets in their own home, I ensure all of their daily needs are met, keep them company, and maintain a clean, tidy environment. I treat every pet like family and every home with the same care and respect as if it were my

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I have experience caring for both a cat and a small dog, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to details, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment, make sure pets have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

About: As a lifelong dog owner and devoted animal lover, I understand that your pets are cherished members of your family. My approach to pet care is centered on providing a calm, nurturing, and personalized experience that helps your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routines, and preferences. Whether your companion enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra affection, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs and help maintain the consistency they are accustomed to at home. I take pride in creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through reliable communication, thoughtful attention to detail, and genuine compassion. My goal is to provide the highest level of care so you can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to building a trusted relationship with you and providing your pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My own dog and I enjoy at least four walks around the neighborhood every day, providing plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. In addition to our daily walks, we go hiking several times a week, and I have a secure fenced courtyard where pets can safely relax, explore, and enjoy time outdoors in the sunshine. Because I am home-based, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any special routines your pet may have. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, comfort, routine, and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and daily schedule so they can feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their family is away. In my home, pets receive regular walks, supervised outdoor time in my fenced courtyard, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to provide a calm presence and ensure pets are not left alone for extended periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is always to create a positive, stress-free experience where pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for, whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in their own home.

About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my friends, families, and neighbors growing up. I worked at a doggy daycare during the summers and home baked dog treats in my spare time. Now I find my days working from home incomplete without a furry friend! I am great with any breed, size, and energy. Excited to give you peace of mind and your pet all the care and attention they need! I currently work from home. My meetings usually happen in the mid morning / afternoon between 10 and 2pm but I have a very flexible schedule. I am very attentive to the needs of the animals I care for. Most of the pets I have taken care of have some degree of separation anxiety so I have gotten accustomed to finding ways to soothe their anxiety weather it’s putting a show on for them, pets and cuddles, or lots of playtime! If your furry friend is shy or timid, no worries! I will let them come to me and treat them with respect and patience.

About: Hey there! I'm Mikki and I have been caring for animals all of my life (professionally for a few years) I have experience with all ages and all sizes, and even quite the array of species and breeds. I am comfortable with most medication administration and handling animals with special needs. I would love to be a helpful assistant to you and your fuzzy (or scaly!) friends! *A little about me! I am from New Orleans originally and recently moved to California a after working in Missouri for a few years. I am hoping Rover will connect me with more wonderful clients and new furry friends! I am a private swim instructor so during Fall and Winter my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. I am usually available last minute and most days of the week, please feel free to message me! I am comfortable with multiple animals, planning activities for your furbabies, and cleaning up pet messes. Every home and pet is different so communication is a must. I can travel to you, take your furry friends for parks or appointments, and do house stays. *I currently am not available for boarding in my own home.

Beyond grateful with Itzel! She was kind, loving, and patient with my fur babies. I was impressed how my Salem & whiskey felt really comfortable with her. Normally they hide away, but they seemed to really like her as they were roaming when she came over to check on the dogs. Itzel inspired trust in them. That for me speaks volume. She really treated my kids like her own. Thank you ❤️

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sherman Oaks on Rover is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $43 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 17,833 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sherman Oaks. 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 Sherman Oaks. 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 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.
