“We just finished our first pet sitting with Kerri and she was wonderful. Our shy dog took to her to her right away and she sent us several photos of him cuddling with her while we were gone. Her communication with us was excellent and she displayed great judgment in handling an unexpected situation that came up. We are very happy to have found her and look forward to working with her again.”


About: Lifelong dog lover, lifelong dog owner, 6 year Tujunga resident and 20 year Burbank resident. Kind, friendly, patient and responsible. I look after all dogs as if they're my own. Pint sized Chihuahuas, 200 pound Mastiffs and everyone in between, no problem. You can trust your dog will be cared for with all your details and instructions followed, as if you were right there in-person. I also have experience and affection for elderly and injured dogs who need extra patience and care. I'm currently available any day of the week for walks and drop-in visits, and always happy to implement any training you'd like your dog to be working on. I look forward to hearing from you, thanks! My furry friend Kodi and I have been together 12 years. We walk every morning & evening, we enjoy naps together when possible, and we play as much as I feel is safe for his age. Always on a leash unless the yard or park is enclosed and safe for off-leash, and always avoiding interactions with other dogs if something doesn’t feel right.
“We are so grateful we found Bernadette! This was our first time leaving our dog for an extended period of time with someone outside of the family. I was nervous because our senior dog has doggy dementia and back leg mobility issues, but Bernadette was exceptionally knowledgeable and handled everything so well. Our dog usually gets very distressed while we’re away. However, we came home to find him super calm and relaxed. She kept him wonderful company and gave us total peace of mind. We couldn't recommend her more!”

“Cordelia was great with Rocky! She took the time for a meet and greet, communicated really well and seemed to really enjoy caring for a dog. We would recommend her and hope to use her again!”


“I think I’ve already left Nare a review, but it bears repeating. She’s great! She takes wonderful care of the critters and they love her to bits. Super communicative and I always rest easy knowing the kids are in very capable hands!”

“Cody was very good with our dog Kody. He was very responsible and texted us any time he had questions. He also sent pictures and was always willing to meet our needs. I could really tell that Cody loved our dog and did a great job. We even came come to a clean house which was so appreciated.”

About: Animals have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember, and over the past 15 years I’ve turned that lifelong love into trusted, hands-on pet care experience. I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether that means energetic walks, calm companionship, or sticking closely to established routines. I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building a bond with every pet I care for. My goal is always the same: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I am available for walks (long or short) and drop-in visits most days of the week. I am occasionally available for overnight stays. Please send me a message with your specific dates. I pay careful attention to instructions left for your pet's care. I make sure your pup goes outside/for walks frequently, that your cat's litter box is clean, and fresh, clean water is available. I have lots of experience with both puppies/kittens and senior animals, so I can give special care when needed.
“Ariel goes above and beyond with the care of the animals and the upkeep of the house. She communicates very well and sends amazing pictures of the animals. Will definitely use her again!!”


“I’m so grateful I found Grace as a sitter! The pets loved her. I was really appreciative of all the consistent she sent while I was on my trip. She was really attentive to what the pets needed and asked questions when necessary (really important to me). I also loved that she did care enough to set up a time to meet the pets and make sure she the right fit for them. I can tell she really loves animals. I’ll definitely be hiring her again when I needed another sitter!”


“Thank you so much Lisa for taking such good care of our fur babies. This was the first time using this app and we were very pleased. Lisa did an amazing job keeping us updated with super cute pictures and videos. Lisa was very respectful towards our home. We will definitely have Lisa watch our babies in the future.”

“Alex quickly responded to my request to housesit my pups and asked all the right questions prior to and during her stay. She took really good care of them and I received daily pics of my dogs having a great time with her. I will definitely book Alex again.”

About: Your dog deserves a good time. You deserve not to worry. Most of my adult life has involved figuring out how to have a full career, move around, travel, handle the occasional life curveball—and keep my dog happily built into the mix through all of it. Before Mario, there was Bruiser. He came to me with significant health issues and severe anxiety from his life before me. Early on, I had a trainer helping me simply get a collar onto a dog who wouldn’t come out from under the bed. He had essentially never been on walks. Everything was new, and trust had to be earned slowly. Eventually, Bruiser became a rockstar. He traveled throughout the Pacific Northwest with me while I built ski and snowboard retail spaces for work. He hated the snow (I couldn’t really blame him), but loved the car, loved being in the store, and became the unofficial mascot everywhere we went. The biggest thing he taught me: the dog you meet today may not be the dog you see once they feel safe. Since then, friends, coworkers, and even shelters have trusted me with their dogs. So have hotels—after years of business travel with a dog in tow, we were still welcomed back as return guests. Anyone who has traveled extensively with a pet knows that’s not a particularly low bar. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, big dogs, little dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who need some extra patience. I care much more about understanding the individual dog than whatever assumptions come with their breed, size, or age. After years of being the person who relied on trusted sitters to make work, travel and life possible, I finally have the time and space to be that person for someone else. I’m returning to LA and building my next chapter here—new goals, freelance and startup work, a few side ventures, and a social life I’m happily filling back in as I go. My work has never fit particularly neatly into a 9–5 box, and right now neither does my life. I work independently, much of it from my laptop, which means I have more control over my calendar than most people working a traditional schedule. That flexibility is part of what I can offer you. I’ve spent plenty of my own life being the person whose meeting ran late, trip changed, work suddenly needed me somewhere else, or opportunity appeared with very little notice—and having a dog never made any of those logistics simpler. Right now, I can be the person who absorbs some of that unpredictability on your end. There are fewer dinner reservations I absolutely have to make at 8, fewer gym classes at 6 sharp, and more room to say, “Sure, I can make that work.” I like a life where you catch the show, take the trip, meet people along the way and let some of the story write itself. So I don't inherently mind a last-minute request. If I’m available, your dog is a fit, and the logistics make sense, ask. I still have work, plans and a life of my own—your dog is joining it, not filling an empty calendar—but at this particular moment, mine has a lot more give than the average 9–5. One limitation remains firmly outside this new era of possibility: despite everything podcast culture has promised me, I am still not a 6 a.m. person. I’m a big believer in prevention—but also in paying enough attention to react when prevention meets real life. My home has a large, fully fenced yard that Mario and I use as our outdoor living space. Over time, I’ve continued adapting it based on what I actually observe rather than assuming that because something should keep a dog contained, it always will. When Mario demonstrated that the small gap beneath a fence was apparently plenty of room to begin an unauthorized neighborhood outreach program, I added guards along the bottoms of the fencing. When gardeners or anyone else needs the garage opened, an additional folding barrier covers the temporary gaps. Gates stay secured while work is happening, and the people who regularly come onto the property know the routine: Mario gets his mandatory affection, barriers go up, dogs go in, work begins. I also have cameras covering the outdoor space as another layer—not because I expect disaster, but because I want to know when something changes. Unexpected motion at night progressively gets my attention through the house and outdoor lights and eventually my phone. Usually I’m not looking for an intruder; I want to know whether an animal entered the yard, weather shifted something, fencing moved, or a gate isn't sitting the way it should. That’s generally how I approach safety: prevent what I can, notice what changes, and react before a small problem gets the opportunity to become a big one. This is also a real home in a real LA neighborhood, not a sealed dog-care facility. Guests staying in a separate studio cross the courtyard when coming and going. My neighbors and I have long maintained fencing and boundaries so their small dog stays on their side and ours stay here. Neighborhood cats occasionally hop fences on their way home. Dogs bark. Deliveries happen. Wildlife exists. Life occasionally ignores the plan. So while I take managing the environment seriously, I also need dogs staying here to encounter normal surprises without becoming dangerous. That doesn’t mean perfectly trained, never anxious, or friends with every creature they meet. A dog who needs redirection, space, patience or thoughtful introductions can be completely workable. Aggression is different. I cannot host a dog whose response to an unexpected dog, cat, person or ordinary neighborhood stimulus could reasonably be to attack. Once you leave your dog with me, managing everything I reasonably can becomes my responsibility—and I take that part seriously.
About: Getting to pet a dog, whether on the job, at the park, or walking around my neighborhood, is always the highlight of my day! I’ve taken care of coworker’s and neighbor’s pets before and always enjoy the time I get to spend with them :) I also grew up in a family that always had dogs, so I learned the responsibilities of feeding and walking dogs at an early age, as well as teaching basic commands like sit, stay, and no tugging on the leash on walks! Our family dogs were primarily rescue dogs of unknown breed origin, as well as Bichon-Frisés , a dog breed I dearly love. I have the perfect temperament and patience for older dogs, but welcome doggies of all ages! I am most comfortable caring for small and medium sized dogs under 40 pounds, as those are the type of dogs I grew up around and have dogsat for previously. I’m able do drop-ins during the weekdays and housesit any day of the week! My general drop-in availability is Mondays - Thursdays, late mornings to evenings. While in your home, I will take the utmost care to leave it as I found it, if not a little bit better! I will also take copious notes on everything your pet need, where all pet items are stored in your home, and all emergency contact info. I am incredibly organized and love taking copious notes.
“Hope like Jenny so much and she is a nice person she make sure that she will always besides my baby very attentive.she follows all the instruction s.thanx so much hope to see you again to take care of Hope.”

“Jessica (Jasper) was great and was loved by our little guy! Took great care of our place and kept our little one entertained and safe. A very kind and compassionate soul whom we'd love to have back.”

Keri is so sweet and down to earth. Ruby loved hanging with her outside all day while I was at work. I had an office meeting during lunch so I couldn't get home at lunch to let Ruby out so it was wonderful to have Keri there. I hope to work with her in the future. Thank you so much for you help Keri is great!

Kristine was amazing with our boys. We came home to tired, happy pups, which told us they got plenty of playtime and attention. The house was also clean and tidy—honestly like she was never even here. She was communicative, prompt, and really easy to work with. We’d absolutely love to have her back again if she’s available the next time we need someone to watch our boys.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sunland Tujunga walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sunland Tujunga maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sunland Tujunga choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
