“Taylor did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs. The dogs were totally comfortable and my cat even liked her! My cat doesn't like anyone! I will definitely be hiring 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!!!”
“IULIIA is a great dog watcher! We have hired her on 3 different occasions and are very happy with her. I highly recommend her! We will use her again for sure. Thank you!”
“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!”
About: I have personal experience caring for both a dog and a cat, which has taught me how to provide loving, attentive care for pets with different personalities and needs. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, cuddles, and keeping pets comfortable, I understand how important it is to make every pet feel safe and loved. I’ll treat your furry family member like my own! 🐶🐱❤️ I’m looking for a part-time opportunity and am available a few days a week. I can fit pet care into my schedule and provide reliable, attentive care, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone! 🐾❤️ I provide loving and reliable care for dogs and cats in the comfort of their own homes. For dog walking, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks tailored to each dog’s needs, energy level, and pace. For in-home pet sitting, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also respect each pet’s routine and follow the owner’s instructions carefully to help their furry friends feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they’re away. 🐾❤️
“Ariana is a wonderful sitter for our cat Remy. She was incredibly communicative and sent tons of photos while we were away. Our cat clearly loved her and was very well taken care of. Ariana even washed the guest room sheets so they’d be clean when we got home. We’ve already hired Ariana for two more trips because we were so impressed!”
About: I've been around animals for 23 years, so at this point, I think I speak fluent dog and a little bit of cat. 😂 I love animals, big ones, small ones, the crazy ones, and even the ones who act like they pay the mortgage. Every pet got their own personality, and I respect that! Whether your dog needs a good walk, your cat needs somebody to ignore, or your furry little boss needs some company while you're gone, I got you covered. I'm responsible, patient, and I take pet care seriously. Feeding schedules, walks, playtime, belly rubs, and photo updates? No problemo! I treat every pet like family. Your dog might come home with a new best friend, and your cat might actually acknowledge my existence. No promises on that last one. 😂 At the end of the day, happy pets and happy owners. That's the American dream, baby! 🇺🇸🐾 My schedule is pretty flexible right now, which means more time for your furry little boss! 😂 Whether your dog needs a morning walk, afternoon adventure, or somebody to keep them company while you're out making your dreams happen, I got you! I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting depending on my calendar. I like keeping a consistent routine because pets got schedules too, and trust me, they know when dinner is late! 🐾 Just let me know what your pet needs, and we'll make it work! Your pet's safety is my number one priority. Fun is important, but safety comes first, always! When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space, follow your instructions, and make sure your furry family member stays comfortable and safe. Doors locked? Check. Fresh water? Check. Food on time? Check. Dog trying to convince me he hasn't eaten in three days? Nice try, buddy! 😂 I pay attention to each pet's personality, energy level, and routine. I always use secure leashes during walks, keep an eye on their surroundings, and never introduce them to unfamiliar animals without permission. I also provide photo updates because I know you wanna see what your little troublemaker is doing! Your home gets respect, your pet gets love, and everybody stays happy. That's how we do business! 🐾
“I knew my doggies were in good hands with Esther. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. She did a great job house sitting and followed all my instructions. My dogs seemed well cared for and happy when I got home. I especially appreciate the pictures Esther sent every day.”
“Kim was super nice, friendly and professional and she was great with Nala! Made sure to send me pics and keep me updating while I was gone and Nala seemed really happy and taken care of. I would definitely work with 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!”
About: I have always enjoyed being around animals ever since I was a little kid. I have owned and cared for rabbits, dogs, fish, turtles and parakeets. I work full time as an educator so most of the year I am only available weekends. However I am currently available during weekdays due to spring break. I would be happy to care for your pet in my home or at your home if that is your preference. I have one dog at home which would be kept in a different area.
About: Hi🐾 my name is Beray, i am 22 years old veterinary technician and a 1st year veterinary medicine student! In my free time i like to read (or study), watch movies, swim and cuddle with dogs❤️ I was taking care of dogs and cats just as a hobby only for people i knew, but decided i can help more pet owners and make their furry babies happy!! I have experiences with puppies and senior care. You will be receiving really nice photos of your pups🐶 I am at home 24/7 if needed (feel free to ask I don’t even leave for 5 minutes) no problem with that, home is fun with a furry baby we can play fetch, cuddle, watch movies!!! I know that all doggies need different care. For puppies, i am very good at potty training and obedience training. I also have first aid training🤍 Please read the following before booking either of these services: Day Care means: Between 0-10 hours Boarding means: Between 10-24 hours All of the pets i take care, they are my babies too!! They are all welcome for hugs and most importantly LOVE! For summer period i am free every day and i can start working really early if my client needs. I don’t like to go for walks so late for me and my client’s safety. We have a nice fenced backyard; we mostly play there and hangout i don’t let them out unsupervised. I only walk with leash, sometimes dogs see rabbits or squirrels and chase after them. We don’t want anyone to get hurt or scared 🫶🏻
“Jen helped us with our pups at our house overnight and with a last minute drop in visit while we were out of town. She is reliable, responsible, and quick to respond! Thank you so much!”
About: I work from home and can be with your pet during their entire stay. I have an elderly Pomeranian and am used to giving medication. Fenced yard and lots of walks and cuddles. I’m home during the week and most weekends. When your pet is here I will be available to let them out frequently. Available to go on multiple walks and if permitted the dog park. The entire house is fenced. Front and back yard. My Pomeranian is an escape artist and if he can’t get out neither will your pet. We keep an excellent eye on pets.
About: Beginning with a puppy of my own, I've grown up surrounded by animals and been taking care of them, petsitting, day care, and walking. I have always been maternal over animals and have a deep love for them. From working at a zoo to caring for friend's and roommate's critters over the years, I have always enjoyed finding all the ways to make animals feel loved with their unique personalities. I am a full time student at UCLA, so I am able to focus on your furry friend and devote my attention to ensure they get the care most suited for them. I grew up in Los Angeles and feel completely comfortable navigating around the area that is the most safe for your animal, have fun routes for walks, and am always down to clown with an adventure. Let's have some fun, and I would love to be your FBBF! I am a biology and tech student with reliable transportation and a need for speed. It's my priority that your animal is getting the attention they deserve which make my schedule flexible to work around your furry friends. I'm pretty active and like getting my steps in, and I would always love the comfort of your animal so we can go exploring together. Most accidents are caused from carelessness or a lack of attention to an upcoming issue. Luckily, I am a little too observant sometimes which means I focus more on preventative care rather than allowing for carelessness to conquer. Trust is mutual so it is my mission to administer that trust early on in the relationship with your animal with both gentleness and firm stability that they feel taken care of.
“Kimberly was amazing!! I highly recommend her for your home and pet sitting needs. She is extremely communicative - always answers my messages right away and sends lots of photos and videos. Kimberly is flexible and easy to work with. She's friendly and my pets took a liking to her right away! I was very nervous about leaving my babies (2 dogs and 2 cats) with a stranger, but her work ethic and my happy animals made it much easier. Thank you, Kimberly! <3”
About: I've grown up around dogs and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. From tiny Chihuahuas to large, energetic Pit Bulls, I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I've learned how important it is to understand each dog's individual temperament, energy level, and daily routine. Whether your dog needs long walks, plenty of playtime, or a little extra patience and attention, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and care that I would give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own cats for over seven years, I'm very accustomed to building my schedule around the needs of animals. I enjoy spending time with pets and am happy to accommodate their established routines, whether that means morning walks, scheduled feedings, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your pet, especially in your own home, is a big decision, and it's a responsibility I take seriously. My priority is always making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's personality, routines, and individual needs, and I'm comfortable administering medications or following specialized care instructions. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'm especially mindful of maintaining their familiar environment and respecting the owner's space. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, careful about following instructions, and always happy to provide photos and updates for your peace of mind. Above all, I treat every animal with the same patience and affection I give my own.

I have two beautiful dogs: Jack Russell terrier and Mix breed dog, who was saved in Ukrainian war from the street. They will be so happy to have new friends 🐾🐾🐾
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

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tarzana
It’s our first time looking for a dog sitter so I was very nervous about it but I’m so grateful for Lila! My anxious dog loved her and she did everything we asked for + more and updated us with pictures and what they did all day. She’s the best, highly recommend!!
We loved having Stephanie back to watch our dog. She is very sweet and professional and loves our dog. She sent us updates and was a great communicator. She did a great job doing a little extra housework that we did not request. The house looked perfect when we got home. Above and beyond.
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🙏
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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tarzana is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $103 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,155 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tarzana. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
