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 :)
“Lana was very communicative and made us feel like our little Goomba was in the best hands. She cares and makes sure to adhere to the requests made for the best experience for your pet. Would definitely use her again.”

“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 cared for dogs and cats since I was 10, and I’ve always had a dog of my own. I’ve also looked after pets for family and friends. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to two pups who I love and care for every day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available to care for dogs before work in the mornings and on my days off. As a Marine veteran who works in private security, I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping your dog safe and well cared for. My dogs are well trained and don’t use crates. I walk them several times a day, including before and after work. They eat dry food daily, and I cook a special meal for them each week. They get plenty of affection, too—lots of belly rubs, cuddles, and kisses! When caring for your pet, I’ll follow their usual routine and give them the same love and attention I give my own dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of my sweet chihuahua for three years, but have always loved and grown up watching dogs! From Playtime to Bedtime, Boarding, drop-ins, walkies and potties. All given with the best care full time; from one pet parent for another! I’m able to walk long distances for any sweet pup with lots of energy. I love to take care of fur babies small or large. (It just means more dog to love!) I am able to follow special instructions that any pet parent would need of me. Eagerly waiting to love your fur babies! Full time for pet care in my schedule! I am looking to give my attention and care to any fur babies who need it. Day or night, they will be cared for. I have a lovely townhouse where my chihuahua stays. She is super loving, friendly, and loves having friends over to play! Around my building is a safe and quiet neighborhood perfect for getting some good sunshine and a cool breeze while walking around! I am also available to take care of your pet in your home, and can ensure that I will treat your space with respect as I give your fur baby the attention and care they deserve!

About: I have many years of experience caring for animals, growing up on a farm in rural Minnesota. I have volunteered at animal shelters, and have experience with various breeds. Familiar with toileting and feeding schedules, medication administration, and basic grooming. I want your pet to feel loved and cared for while you’re away! I am a current masters student only working part-time for the time being, looking to fill my schedule with positive pet encounters! I have plenty of free time for the rest of the summer and want to support pet parents in any way possible. I keep an open line of communication to make sure your concerns are addressed and your preferences are accounted for. Safety and comfort is a top priority, making sure your pet not only gets play time but that walks and other adventures are done with all dangers considered.
“Keianna is awesome! She is such a sweet and kind person, and I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties with her. One of my cats can be anxious around new people, and she was very patient and respectful with him. She sent lots of updates and pictures of them playing and having a nice time! I highly recommend her :)”

“Jeannie was very reliable, and took great daily pics and videos of my Coconut. Coconut was very smiley and happy in all photos so I felt like I was in great hands :) she also took in amazon shipments that came to the house in my absence as well which was very nice. I would highly recommend her! It’s clear she really loves dogs and they love her back!”

“Returning client! She was great adjusting their previous routine for my picky eater and greedy cat who otherwise would’ve eaten her food. Super communicative as always. Highly recommend!”

“Yvonne was wonderful. She checked in on and fed my cat, Cora, twice a day while we were gone for a four day trip. She updated me on each visit sending me photos and a recap of her stay/how my cat was doing. Highly recommend Yvonne! We’ll be asking her to watch Cora again for sure.”

“Lauren has been so responsive to my very last minute reservation. My cat also needed medication and she was open to that as well!! She’s been so helpful and I would definitely recommend her. Can’t thank her enough!”
“Leah was such a great cat sitter for my beloved Charlie! She’s responsive, helpful, and consistent! Definitely recommend Leah as pet sitter and will happily book her again. Your fur baby is in good hands! Thank you again.”


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: I have been watching over animals since I was a teenager. As I have gotten older I realized I have passion to watch over dogs and cats. I enjoy their presence as vice versa. There is no dog to small or big that I cannot care for. I am a pet owner as well I have a cat who is animal friendly do both cats and dogs. I provide the best service in the area as your fur baby is like my own. Your pet won’t be sitting alone wondering when someone’s coming back. I’m home throughout the day, which means consistent company, regular feeding, and someone actually present — not just checking in. Previously, even when I was working outside the home just 10 minutes away, I made it a point to come back during breaks so pets were never left too long. Now that I work from home, that presence is constant. I also have three cats of my own, so your dog will have calm, curious company if they’re open to it — and most are once they settle in. Flexibility is something I genuinely offer. Whether your schedule shifts or you need accommodations, I’m happy to work around what’s best for your pet. There is a few dog areas in the complex as well trails and parks to take your dog to for exercise as well to use the bathroom. My apartment is safe free and non-smoking environment.

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sherman Oaks
Anya and Dana were perfect! They sent pictures and updates every day and even responded to last minute requests from my apartment building. I came back to a very content kitty, who probably barely realized I was gone. I appreciated their attention to detail during our meet & greet and they were able to give my old lady lots of love and care while I was away. I would absolutely book them again!

Marina did a wonderful job! She was very friendly, easy to work with, and kept me updated the entire time. If I ever leave on another vacation, I'll make sure to see if she's available. If you have cats and want to make sure they're well looked after, please consider doing the same!!

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 ❤️

Jennifer was the absolute best. I get so anxious and overwhelmed with leaving my special needs cat when I need to travel, but she was so wonderful with her and came right on time every day to bond with her, give her medication, and send detailed updates. I'll absolutely book with her again!!

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.

10/10!! If I could leave more stars I would!! Maizy went above and beyond for my sweet boy and made sure he was loved and cared for while I was away:) She truly cares about animals and always goes the extra mile to make sure even senior babies or those with anxiety are at ease. Plus she’s the sweetest!! Book with her! you won’t be disappointed!!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sherman Oaks is $25 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $43 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 October 2026, there are 17,714 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
