“Jeni was wonderful. She's quick to respond - sends great pics, videos, and updates - and seems to know/understand dogs really well. We felt very comfortable with her staying at our home with our puppy.”
“My cat needs especial treatment due to his urinary issue. Leyla did a great job, feeding him on time with the exact instruction I asked her plus the medication. I recommend her to ALL cat's parents!”
“Taylor took great care of my two chihuahuas and home while my husband and me were gone for the holidays. We so appreciated her availability on Christmas! The dogs seemed happy when we returned and the house was in good order.”
“Went above and beyond to make sure that I felt comfortable, followed all directions and was very attentive and very flexible. Will definitely use her anytime. I’m in vegas thank you so much Cyndi .”
“Daniela was great with our puppy and our senior dog as well as multiple cats and birds when she house sat for us. We got lots of pictures and updates and could see the progress she was making in teaching the puppy to heel on walks. She went above and beyond to keep things organized and clean, which is not easy in our chaotic household. She even got our most timid cat to come out of hiding for treats. We’ll be booking Daniela for our next trip if at all possible.”
“Hailey is absolutely amazing! She takes the best care of my babies (big chocolate lab baby and sassy little cat) and they adore her! I feel no stress when I’m out of town knowing they are in good hands”
“Lilly was fantastic with our three dogs. Two of them are 15 y/o and needed a lot of personal attention - and she was terrific. The dogs all loved her, she stayed in touch with us and sent pictures. You know when you meet Lilly that you have a super dependable and kind person that will care for your pets like they were hers. The ratings only go up to '5' but she earned a '10'!!”
“Tyla was great ! My one dog had recently had seizures.and had some anxiety. Tyla quickly made her feel secure. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with Tyla. Will definitely use her again”
“Erika was wonderful! My dog is older and is not always keen to walk in the heat, so Erika took her to a shady park so my dog could roll around in the grass and in the shade and have lots of fun! My dog was happy and healthy when I returned! Thank you, Erika for a great job!!!”
“Taylor was a pleasure to work with! She was very communicative and kept us updated with our pet's needs. Letting us know if they were eating properly and how they were doing on their walks. Taylor was great with our dogs and sent wonderful pictures. She was very flexible when our dog had to have eyedrops given last minute right before we left. Her positive attitude and dedication gave us peace of mind while we were gone on vacation for a week. We knew our dogs were getting well cared for and wouldn't hesitate to use her again! We highly recommend her!”
About: Hiii! I’m Ashleigh! I’m 30 years old and would love to take care of your fur babies ! 🐱🐶 🥰 your baby would be in excellent hands . Whether it be a senior or puppy ! I’m able to handle extra active animals and also senior animals . I like to keep their pace and also agreeing with the owner comes first ! love caring for animals 🥹❤️ I enjoy walking through out the day just to keep active and having an animal makes it better and more enjoyable . I figured I’d help myself while also helping a neighbor :) I treat them like my own. Any animal in my presence is loved and attended with great care by me . They deserve so the world
About: My specialty is working with shy dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I genuinely love caring for pets and take pride in creating a calm, trusting bond with every animal I meet. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR and have owned and operated my own licensed, insured pet care business serving Tarzana and Encino since 2017. Clients describe me as reliable, accommodating, and kind — the kind of walker their dogs recognize the second I pull up. Whether you need regular walks, vacation visits, or gentle senior care, your pets will always be treated like family Overnight Pet sitting Policy: my overnight pet sitting policy includes staying with your pet overnight, ie 8 pm- 6 am if you need it, walking dogs before bed and in the morning, feeding them and giving them lots of snuggles. It includes a midday walk. It does not include staying with them all day during the day. I have regular dog walks that I do during the day and pets at home that I need to visit and feed. Unfortunately, I am not available for 24/7 visits. I walk dogs and do pet visits full-time. This is what I I do. I take the care and safety of your pets very seriously. Your pet's safety and health is my number one priority. I am respectful of your home and am comfortable with security cameras and alarm systems to keep your home safe and secure.
“Bruna was absolutely amazing with my cat Carl and French Bulldog Daisy. I needed a sitter with less than 24 hours’ notice over the Fourth of July holiday, and she stepped in without hesitation. At the time, Daisy had just undergone surgery and required constant supervision along with medication administration. B handled everything flawlessly and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She sent frequent updates, photos, and messages, which meant so much given Daisy’s condition. Most importantly, it was obvious that both Carl and Daisy adored her. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for in her hands. I would not hesitate to book Bruna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.”
“Iuliia was really great with our dogs Charlie and Pixie! She watched them for 3 nights at our home, and She sent us lots of pictures, videos, and updated us every day. We appreciate you watching them and caring for Charlie and Pixie! Thanks so much!”
“Gillian takes great care of Pringle while I’m at work, and I really appreciate how punctual and responsive she is. I feel at ease knowing Pringle is in good hands, and I definitely plan to be a regular client!”
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
“Anthony did an amazing job caring for our dog and our home. Our dog is very shy but he took the time to build a great relationship with her. He even bathed her and left the house spotless! He provided is updates during our trip and really did an amazing job. We would love to have him watch her again in the future!”
“Ariana is our favorite sitter for our cat, Remy. She’s very communicative and provides great updates while we’re away. Our place always looks better than we left it and our cat is always well-cared for when we return.”
About: I've fed, cleaned after, bathed, played with, and loved a lot of dogs as well as horses, cats, and fish. It's a privilege to help. I'm a creative freelancer working on several projects, so I set my own schedule and am very flexible! I usually fit my other responsibilities around being available for pet care at a moment's notice, whether it's a walk during some down time or dedicating the time to doing a sitting. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, happy, and feel loved and taken care of. I also value respecting your home and your privacy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tarzana
Daniela is amazing! She stayed overnight with our cockapoo and gave her so much love! She sent us pics daily. Our dog was very happy and relaxed with her which was really reassuring. We’re looking forward to having Daniela come again this summer. We’re very grateful to have found her.
Samantha was amazing! She kept in close touch with us, and our dog loved her! He was happy and relaxed when we got home. Samantha spent tons of time with him. I think he’s going to miss her, as are we. I highly recommend Samantha! You’ll feel so safe and secure when you leave your dog in her care.
Erika was wonderful! My dog is older and is not always keen to walk in the heat, so Erika took her to a shady park so my dog could roll around in the grass and in the shade and have lots of fun! My dog was happy and healthy when I returned! Thank you, Erika for a great job!!!
We can’t recommend Melanie highly enough. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she kept us in the loop with regular photos and updates. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands, and we appreciated that she never left our pup alone for long stretches. We came home to happy, well cared for pup and will absolutely be booking with her again.
Audry was amazing when she babysat our dog Lucy. She took great care of her and her discipline on sticking with our pup’s schedule was well appreciated. This was the first time having a sitter stay in our home, and the trust and vulnerability this takes is huge but Audry made the experience less stressful or nerve racking as she took great care of our home and our Lucy. We will definitely book again, and won’t hesitate to reach out!
Jesse was such a great help to me in taking care of my dog when I was setting up a party. My dog was a bit anxious and overstimulated from all my running around while doing party prep and Jesse helped calm him with cuddles and reassurance. It was a relief to not have to worry about my dog during my party because I knew he was in great hands.
Taylor is amazing. She was wonderful with our dogs, who she willingly got to know prior to our trip. They immediately bonded with her, even tho one of our dogs is usually slow to connect with new people. She is super responsible and always communicated with us on a daily basis while we were gone. She also took good care of our home and plants. We highly recommend Taylor!
Cynthia watched my dog, Rocco, at my hotel while my husband and I went to dinner and a concert. She was very flexible about coming to our hotel. Cynthia had great communication and made me feel reassured that Rocco was in good hands. She sent texts and photos throughout the night. She took Rocco for a couple walks and fed him dinner. I would definitely recommend her others and will select her again the next time we are in Las Vegas.
Sanaz took wonderful care of our two dogs and two cats while our family was away on vacation. Her communication was always prompt whenever we had a question or wanted to check in. She sent several photos / videos each day and helped administer medication for our cat. I definitely recommend Sanaz as a trustworthy and caring pet / house sitter.
Stephanie was wonderful! Very professional and calm demeanor. She took great care of my dog and house during a three day trip. She sent us updates and was great to work with and friendly. House was in perfect order and dog was happy on our return. Looking forward to having her back.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tarzana
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tarzana on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,278 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tarzana. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Tarzana 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 Tarzana 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 Tarzana 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
