“Ori has been amazing. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and gives lots and lots of updates with photos. We have used her 2x for multiple night stays and I always feel like we are leaving our precious family member in the best hands. Highly recommend her.”

“We are really lucky to have found Nayira as our dog and now cat sitter. She always takes great care of our dog Archer, but really thankful for the effort she put in with our two kitties, who are more high maintenance than most. Highly recommend!”
“Adrianna takes great care of my little dog, and sends lots of updates, cute pictures and videos every day. I highly recommend Adrianna for dog sitting.”
“Leda had a wonderful stay with Tanya! She had plenty of space to run around outside, lots of toys to play with, a comfy bed and couch to rest/sleep and other dogs for company. Tanya was kind enough to provide updates and pictures throughout Leda’s stay. We would definitely recommend others and plan to board with Tanya again in the future!”
“Candy really took care of our boy Bentley while we were on vacation. This was his first time with a Rover sitter and we would definitely recommend and go back to Candy.”
About: Caring for animals has been second nature to me since childhood. Over the years, my experience has spanned far beyond standard pet care- I've raised and cared for everything from dogs and cats to ferrets, bunnies, goats, pigs, and chickens. That diverse hands-on background taught me how to read animal body language, manage different temperaments, and handle daily routines with patience and confidence. Today, our home is a true animal-loving environment. We share our space with our sweet rescue dog, Valentina Bella, whom we welcomed into our family nearly two years ago. My two children have grown up sharing that same respect and gentle affection for animals, making our house a warm, nurturing second home. Expect to have a safe, calm environment: Your pet's comfort and routine come first. We prioritize safety, clear boundaries, and saree-free transitions. Attentive Care & Exercise: Whether your dog loves neighborhood walks, active playtime, or just lounging nearby while receiving gentle affection, their daily needs will be met. Consistent Communication: I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. You can count on regular updates, notes, and photos throughout their stay. Comfort with All Personalities: From outgoing social butterflies to rescues that need a little extra time and patience to feel secure, we know how to meet animals where they are. Because we already share our home with our own rescue dog, a steady, dependable pet routine is second nature to our household. My schedule allows for dedicated time before, during, and after work/school hours to give dogs the exercise and care they need. Mornings begin with breakfast and a solid walk to burn off energy before the day starts. During the day, our setup ensures pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended for extended periods. Evenings and weekends are completely centered around family and pets - featuring long neighborhood walks, play sessions, and calm downtime. We treat pet care as a priority and make sure visiting guests receive the exact same consistency, affection, and structure as our own dog. Safety is top priority. We start with a mandatory meet-and-greet to ensure compatible temperaments before any stay. Inside our pet-proofed, secure home, visiting pets are closely supervised, and slow, respectful introductions are always practiced. With years of experience managing diverse animals and rescues, I am vigilant about body language and routine boundaries. Your dog will never be left unattended with other pets or children without direct supervision. When walked, pets are always securely leashed. You'll receive prompt daily photos and honest updates so you always know your pet is secure and comfortable.
“Thank you Annabelle, Ben (and Ranger too) for taking wonderful care of my dog Luna. We will definetly use them again and recommend their service to family and friends. They are patient and kind and opened their home to our rambunctious dog. The photos of her playing, going for walks and "chillin" helped this fur mommy know she was happy and being well cared for.”
“Patricia took great care of my pup! She sent fantastic pictures throughout the stay and I really appreciated how she always checked in before offering a new treat or socializing her with new dogs. She felt very well cared for- thank you!”
“Gaya was awesome! My dogs are a lot to handle but she met us before hand and she felt confident she could watch them for us. Very professional and communicative throught the whole process. Thank you so much for watching my hell hounds <3”
“We can’t thank Jay and Ashton enough for how well they took care of our anxious pup! They kept us updated and were so patient with Bowie getting warmed up to a new environment. Will absolutely be booking again!”
“It will be hard to leave our pup with anyone else! They were the perfect family to take care of our Drew! Always sent updates, videos, and pictures. We felt really safe with Drew in their care!”
“Sona is wonderful with dogs. She is passionate and loves dogs. She took care of my dog Whiskey for 2 days. At first when I dropped him off I was hesitant because Whiskey can be a nervous Nellie and has a little separation anxiety but she kept reassuring that he’ll be fine. He seemed so happy and calm coming back to me. He got to socialize and play with many different dogs at her home. She has a lot of space for dogs to run around and play.”
“Monica has taken care of Teddy several times and she is wonderful. Always texts me with photo updates several times a day and keeps me in the loop She also lets Teddy hang out on the furniture and takes her on several walks a day and gives her treats which I appreciate and I am sure Teddy does too. She is very responsible and reliable. Definitely don't hesitate to book with Monica!”
“Adriana was amazing, and took great care of my Bella. She was consistently keeping me updated all weekend and I felt reassured that my Bella was in good hands. Thank you again for treating her like your own.”
“Maryam , was absolutely great. She did a great job caring for my dog Bentley. She was very friendly, great communication, very sweet girl. I trusted her with my pet, She was very detailed about asking questions and to make sure my dog was cared for good and got plenty and enough exercise and playtime I was very grateful. I recommend her and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Frank was the most incredible dog sitter I could ask for. He took care of my 95 lb GSD with no issues. He sent me photos and videos throughout the stay, got him treats, played fetch with him and made my dog feel happy while I was away. He extended my week long boarding without hassle when I had flight cancellations.”
About: I’m the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their dog! 😊 I’ve been taking care of my friends’ dogs regularly for years — sometimes for a day, sometimes for longer stays — and I genuinely love having them around. That’s actually what made me finally decide to join Rover. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, following your dog’s usual routine, and of course giving them lots of attention and affection.

I have a 1.7 year-old daughter who absolutely loves animals and has separate childcare, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. I am the only person responsible for pet care during all Rover bookings. My home is located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. I also have a private, fully fenced backyard with a high fence, providing a safe and comfortable space for outdoor playtime. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, love, and care. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, happy and truly at home! 🐾❤️ I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to personally care for pets throughout the day.

We had such a wonderful experience with Louella and her husband! They are both so sweet, thoughtful and caring. They took amazing care of our puppy for almost a week and treated him just like their own. We loved receiving pictures and videos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re truly grateful for all the love and attention they gave him. We would absolutely recommend them and look forward to booking with them again!
Melissa is amazing! She took such great care of our dog while we were away and even welcomed him into her home. It was a little difficult at first because our dog has separation anxiety and cried all night, but Melissa was so patient and persevered until she was able to calm him down. She even helped potty-train him since he wasn’t fully potty-trained yet! We also forgot to bring his food, but Melissa was kind enough to provide food for him, too. We’re so grateful for her patience, kindness, and dedication. We definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur babies! ❤️🐶
Ori took great care of my dog, Arthur for 3 weeks. Sadly, the week prior to dropping Arthur off, I had to put my 15 yr old dog down, which was heartbreaking for both me and Arthur. I was really concerned that Arthur would feel abandoned and not adjust well. Ori was very understanding and kind, and really seemed to "look out" for Arthur's well being. She sent photos, and updates which was so reassuring. He enjoyed spending time with other dogs at her house and adjusted well to the routine. I would highly recommend Ori if you need to leave your dog. Arthur was in good hands.
Karina is amazing, she is the only one I trust with my nervous, skittish little rescue chihuahua mix Rupert. Rupert doesn’t trust many people but Karina’s calm and knowledgeable handling makes him comfortable. I don’t worry one bit when he is with her. She’s the best, I highly recommended Karina.
This was our first time leaving our two pups with Larissa, and they stayed with her for two whole weeks while we were away. From everything we could see, our boys had such a wonderful time! ❤️🐶🐶 Larissa gave them so much love, care, and company, which made us feel very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Her adorable little pup, Levy, was such a sweetheart too, and it made us so happy to see that the three of them became little buddies. It means a lot to us to find someone we can trust with our boys, especially when we are away for such a long time. We came home to two happy pups, and that says everything. ❤️ We will absolutely be leaving our boys with Larissa again in the future. Thank you, Larissa, for taking such good care of them! 🐾💕

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Tarzana can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tarzana home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Tarzana.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tarzana. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
You and your Tarzana sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
