About: Hey there, neighbors! I’m Noam, a university student at UC San Diego who loves animals, photography, and running. I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, so I know that taking care of a pet isn’t just a responsibility, it’s taking care of another member of the family! As a student, I also know how busy life can get. Whether you’re stuck at work, have a long day of classes, or simply need an extra hand, I’d love to be there for your pets when you can’t. My priority is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve personally cared for dogs, cats, and even rabbits, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m also an avid runner, so if your pet has extra energy to burn, I’m always happy to make their walk a run! I offer walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I’ll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! - Noam :) I’m currently a university student, so pet care fits in perfectly between classes and study breaks. I personally would probably have more time on weekends, and could definitely use pet care as a break from my intensive studies! I’ll make sure that the pets are taken care of at all times, preventing them from eating anything (including themselves haha), getting themselves hurt, and making sure they stay safe overall.
“Sanaz was such a pleasure! Our cat can be a little anxious and we have a lot of particular rules for our cat and Sanaz was so patient, kind, and understanding of all of our crazy request for our queen. <3 she is so kind and trustworthy.”
“We have never left Pete and Molly before and we were a little nervous. Thank goodness for Lila!! She was available last minute, checked in every visit and cared for them like we would. Lila is a very warm, friendly and personable young lady! It’s no wonder dogs love her!! I would recommend her to anyone who loves their animals like we do and wants to give them the best care :)”
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away. I work part-time about 30 hours a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the daytime. I’m able to fit pet care into my routine through morning, midday, and afternoon visits, and I’m especially available for walks, drop-ins, and cat care. I’m reliable about planning my schedule in advance so I can give each pet the attention and care they need. I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their pet’s environment clean, secure, and familiar. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, provide fresh water, follow feeding and medication instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and supervision. I also respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries, allowing them to feel comfortable and relaxed while I’m caring for them.
“Lucia did a great job taking care of my two little fur babies while I was away on a weekend trip. She had great communication from start to finish. She was easy to talk to and made it seamless.”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s pets like dogs and cats while they’re gone and follow their instructions on when to walk, feed, and play with them. My schedule is currently free since I am a student and it is summer so I’m on break meaning I have time to tend for all of your animals needs! I have a big backyard where your pets can run around in to their hearts content. It is enclosed with a gate so they won’t be able to run out.
“Ariana was great with our cat! I was worried as he is a sensitive guy & shy with new people but they quickly bonded and he was well taken care of. Thank you Ariana!!!”
“Mry is very sweet , caring ,professional and thorough.. She is prompt and personable, and my 3 kitties. Casper, Jacob and Cosmo all loved her !!! Thank you Mry!! You are awesome!! Will definitely go with Mry again! She is Top Notch!”
“I needed a cat sitter last minute, and Leyla was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She followed my instructions carefully and went above and beyond to ensure my cat was well-fed and happy. She also sent detailed notes, along with photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Shanneal is an amazing dog sitter. She went over and above for my fur baby. My dog was completely happy with her attention to him. Always kept me updated on what was going on and plenty of pictures. I would recommend her 100%. Will definitely be my go to for Syd.”
About: Excellent experience on TrustedHouseSitter and now here on Rover to make more dog friends and talk to them so people don’t think I’m talking to myself! I’ve been caring for cats and dogs mostly in their own home and it’s been wonderful, play, feeding time and outdoor walks as much as needed. I offer care for animals at the owners home an I follow their instructions to be able to keep things comfortable and usual as possible for both people and animals.
“Taylor did a great job and was very good at communicating with me during her drop in visits. She was also very thoughtful of my home and I appreciated it. She went the extra miles of wiping Chico’s paws when they were full of mud after being out on the grass. She was very understanding of my dogs behaviors too and made me feel relieved while Chico was in her care!”
About: Hello. I’m Karina, and caring for animals has been a central part of my life for many years. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses, including high-performance equine athletes. That background has taught me to be calm, observant, consistent, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some want an energetic walk, while others simply need a consistent routine, patience, and companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me. I specialize in reliable weekday lunchtime dog walks and drop-in visits in the Encino area, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want consistent, dependable care. I also offer cat drop-in visits and limited boarding for dogs that are friendly with my own well-socialized dog and cat. You’ll receive updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I provide consistent weekday lunchtime walks and drop-in visits, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want dependable care while they’re at work. My schedule also allows me to offer weekend boarding and pet care by arrangement. I enjoy having a routine that lets me give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care. Boarding dogs stay in my home as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. I have a secure balcony and easy access to a large grassy area for potty breaks and fresh air. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks in my quiet condo complex or explore the dog-friendly neighborhood nearby. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and my own friendly, well-socialized dog, so everyone stays safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. With your permission, I’m also happy to take well-trained dogs on special outings, such as nature trails or to the horse facilities where I spend time, for additional exercise and enrichment when appropriate.
“We have *never* come home from a trip with our cats so happy and unstressed as they were with Kimberly taking care of them. Even our older, anxious cat who usually hides from all pet sitters was happy to come out and see Kimberly during her visits. I also really appreciated how proactive she was with communications, and how understanding she was about the state of chaos our house was in since we are still moving in.”

About: I grew up with dogs in my household since i was 6 years old, as one of them got older they became a diabetic so I learned how to give insulin shots twice a day. I also helped run my aunt's in house pet sitting and walking service growing up back in high school for several years. Some of them needed meds with their food (dogs and cats) so I have experience in that as well. My schedule is very very flexible so please just shoot me a message and we can discuss details! For daily, weekly, monthly, etc. thank you! Checking up on them here and there, giving them tons of love and play time! Making sure they're fed on time, always have water, frequent walks
“Isabella has been a blessing to our Chloe while we were away from home. She sent lots of photos and always gave us a detailed update about her visits! I highly recommend Isabella to anyone seeking the best care for their pet!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tarzana
Kristen has been wonderful!!! Genuinely! You can really tell that she loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are taken care of. I just moved to this neighborhood and I’m really glad I met Kristen to hire for pet sitting in the future. Would recommend!!
Haley once again took amazing care of our girls! My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found such a kind and caring sitter in Haley. The girls love her and even our older cat (who can be pretty aloof/distant with others outside of our family) has enjoyed playing with her. Do not hesitate in hiring Haley--she's a gem!
Ariana is an excellent pet sitter! She dropped in on our cat multiple times while we were on a short trip. She was super reliable, sent lots of pictures, and kept us throughly updated after each visit. Our cat was well taken care of, and we came home to a happy kitty. Will definitely book again!
Sanaz was great! She communicated regarding her arrival, departure, and everything in between. Sanaz was very gentle and respectful of my fur baby’s space but still engaged her during the drop in visits. I would recommend Sanaz to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!!
Philip and Lauren were great! They dropped in at the scheduled times took care of everything as we had agreed. We received pics and vids of Lucky so we knew he was fine and messages keeping us up to date. This was our first time using Rover and will definitley be repeat customers. I would recommend Philip and Lauren without hesitation!!
Caira was wonderful! She was very sweet and I felt comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She even took the time to meet my cat beforehand, which I greatly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was well looked after. I would happily book with her again.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Tarzana on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tarzana. On Rover:

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.
