“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 .”
“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.”
“Madelyn is now our 4-mo-old puppy's favorite person! She gave up her Thanksgiving to stay with Ziggy at our house, but it wasn't just a "stay." Madelyn played with her and give her so much love and attention. It was just what Ziggy needed and we were so happy to trust her with our puppy! We're also very happy that Madelyn will be coming back to stay with Ziggy again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Madelyn!”
“This was our first time using Sanaz for an in-house sit for our dog and two cats. She could not have been better for them and they might have been more sad to see her go than when my family got home. Would absolutely recommend her services for anyone needing their pets taken care of!”
About: I’ve been walking dogs and house sitting for years and have always grown up with pets of my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pets and home with the same care I would my own! I’m currently working full time at a school, so I’m free during the week after 3pm and I’m free on the weekends for pet care or walks! I provide personalized care for pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them maintain their normal routine and reducing stress. Services can include feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications as directed, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes or cages, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention and affection.
“We just did our first overnight stay with Daniela watching our two dogs and one cat. She was fabulous! We’ve never been comfortable leaving our dogs because they have some weird quirks — and one is quite reactive on walks — but she was a true pro and handled everything beautifully. We got lots of updates and photos and all the animals were very happy. She also went above and beyond to wash the sheets before leaving! We’ve definitely found our go-to sitter.”
“Antonia deserves 10 stars! She is lovely,kind, competent, and clearly loves animals. This was my first time having a petsitter in my home to watch my two little dogs and I must say I was a bit nervous. But Antonia washed away all of my doubts. For those of you who will be first-time petsitter users (and future users as well) Antonia is the way to go. Shes really a gift. Took excellent care of my pups and fed and walked them exactly as directed, gave them treats. She let them sleep in the bed with her. My pups fell in love with her. And she left my home immaculate! Also - she sent frequent videos of the pups so I could see how they were doing. I highly recommend Antonia to sit for your pets. They will be in great hands. I’m looking forward to working with her again in the near future. So glad I found her. Thank you, Antonia!!!”
“Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.”

“Molly was incredibly flexible & willing to work with us to make sure our 7 month old puppy was adequately cared for while we were in and out over the long weekend. She was attentive to our pup’s needs, and provided care as if our pup was one of her own!”
“Larry was great with Pringle. He is very professional, punctual and knowledgeable about dogs. He took great care of Pringle while I away at work and made sure she got lots of attention. It’s clear he really understands and loves working with dogs. I highly recommend.”
“Emma did a great job taking care of our dog Sadie. She was very calm with Sadie and gave her a lot of affection. Sadie liked her right away. Emma also has a lot of experience taking care of dogs. We knew Sadie was in good hands while we were away.”
About: I have a very flexible schedule so am able to accomodate your specific needs! I grew up with pets my whole life including a Yorkie, German Shepard, and a few cats. I trained the dogs myself and they know intermediate commands and are well behaved. My yorkie is older now, but I grew up dog sitting for family and have experience with older dogs. Both are my dogs are female and I experienced them through "heat" before they were spayed. My cat also had kittens and we kepts a couple so I have experience with cats all ages. I am accustomed to all breeds of all ages! I have a remote job with a very flexible schedule. I am also active and frequently go on walks by the parks and nature trails near me. A pet fits right into my life! The only reason I do not have a pet now is because I recently moved to California and want to get adjusted before taking on the full responsibility. I have a spacious, clean apartment and am able to accommodate for individual pets needs. I have a park I can easily take for walks. For others homes I will follow your instructions! How to care for you pet and if sitting any specific instructions!
“Sophia is a fantastic, warm, and inviting spirit. It was so easy being in touch with her and leaving the animals behind. I came home to a very happy dog and cat. And it’s all thanks to her. Recommend!”
About: We are excited to connect with all of you. We have looked after many doggies. Now, we are taking 2 at a time depending on each individual doggies personality. We, of course, won’t always be booked with two, but if it works, it works. We are people who will get back to you right away and communicate honestly always. We lost our dog in Sept 2021 and watching others dogs allows us the cuddles and love that we truly miss so much. If we come to you for walk or just a visit, we do not mind you having a camera in your home. We actually advocate for it. Also, I (Darby) , do most walks and visits. Always on the first visit, for safety reasons I bring Craig ( my Beau) with me to make sure all is good. If possible, please make sure all instructions are clear and instead of lots of details where everything is- it seems to be much easier to put everything out on kitchen counter. 😉😋 I am a Fine Art photographer. I’m home working most days and so is my Beau. Days go like this… Ha Wake up. Walk. Eat. Play. I edit. We cuddle. I edit . We walk. Snack. I edit. We cuddle. Play. I edit. We walk. We will treat your doggie like our own. Whatever their needs are we provide. We have a Client, who we adore , and whenever they bring over their Doggie Doo they come with their very large couch pillows. The reason for this is because their Doggie has back problems, so our whole living room is a slumber party at all times. We have built a solid customer base, however, doggies get older, etc… So there is always room for more love. At this point, we don’t like to be without a baby. Wink

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tarzana
Sam was amazing! Her communication is quick and clear. She is warm, friendly and smart. We left her with our year old dog (who can be quite high maintenance, and our senior cat while we were out of town, and Sam gave frequent updates and photos. If she had questions, they were always of a nature that let me know she was mature, and taking good care of our pets as well as our house. Everything was clean when we returned and our pets were happy! Highly recommend Sam🙏
Nicola stayed at our house and watched our dogs for a week while we were on vacation. Nicola was fantastic with our dogs and took very good care of our home. Nicola was very communicative all week, sending great pictures of the dogs and the house. Nicola was a pleasure to work with, and we would definitely hire Nicola to help with our dogs in the future. We would highly recommend hiring Nicola for any dog/house sitting or dog walking jobs.
Taylor was the absolute best! Our boy can be anxious and reactive and Taylor handled his reactivity like a champ and was such a calm presence for him. He cuddled up to her very quickly and it’s obvious he trusts her.. such a relief for us to know ghus is being well taken care of
Daniela was so good with our dogs! She paid attention to their individual needs, followed all care instructions carefully, and sent frequent updates and pictures. The house was left in better condition than when she arrived, and the dogs were less stressed than they usually are after we leave town. She is a true animal lover, and does a great job.
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Diesel while we were out of town for two weeks! Sanaz was absolutely amazing with him. She didn’t just take wonderful care of him, she spent time training him, gave him so much love and attention, and kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, we completely trusted her with Diesel and our home. She was reliable, caring, attentive, and clearly formed a real bond with him. In fact, I truly believe Diesel misses her! Since we’ve been home, he honestly seems a little heartbroken that his new best friend isn’t coming over anymore. That alone tells me how loved and well cared for he was while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend Sanaz to anyone looking for someone trustworthy who will treat their dog like her own. We will definitely be calling her again! ❤️
Gillian was amazing!! She stayed at our house to watch our dog and two cats. She was very easy to communicate with and followed all directions! She kept us updated each day which was great. When we got home, the house was perfectly clean. I would highly recommend her!! She was also more than willing to do a meet and greet before the stay! Thanks Gillian!
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!!!
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
