“Sanaz took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away for two weeks. She visited every day to feed and check on them, and she consistently sent photos and videos that gave me peace of mind while traveling. She was reliable, responsible, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire experience. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. I would definitely book Sanaz again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“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!”
About: I've taken care of pets for the past 17 years, mostly dogs and cats. I know how important it is for your pets to be watched by someone who values them as much as you do. I'm currently available to assist in mornings or evenings as my work schedule is very flexible at this time. Only early to mid afternoons are inconsistent for me. I'm happy to abide by any client's guidelines for caring for their pets in regards to feeding, letting them outside, play time, walks, and so forth.
“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!”
“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.

She took immediate initiative to learn about our specific needs and showed a strong understanding and capability She met all my expectations and was a great communicator.

About: Hello! I’m Anca, lover of all beings. While I am new to Rover, I am no stranger to pet sitting and care taking. Let’s meet! I have been fortunate to be surrounded by animals most of my life, and have an affinity for caretaking. I will attune to your loved companions’ needs with ease. I have experience with administering medications, including IVs, and preparing special diets. I am mindful of their movement, play and rest needs. While in my care, your pets will be doted on. I work remotely and have considerable flexibility in my schedule. I will strive to prioritize your scheduling needs, and I ask that we discuss this in advance. During house sitting I aim to spend most of my time within your home, and will communicate in advance my needs to steps away. I can often take your pets with me, if that’s suitable for you. I usually do not step away for longer than 5 hours during overnight stays. I’d be happy to discuss your exact scheduling needs in more detail when we meet. I would love to meet you and your beloved companions, and see if we are a good fit. If all systems are go, I’d like to collaborate with you to delineate a detailed and clear plan to meet your discussed expectations. I bring a calming presence to most animals, wild and domesticated. We will ensure that your pets get their daily needed activity, play, nurturance and rest. I’m keenly aware of my surroundings at all times, to ensure your companions’ safety. While in your home, I will respect your space as I do my own, and will aim to leave it better than I found it. I do ask that the space I am going to inhabit for the length of the stay, has clean linens, high speed internet and the home is well-maintained. I can be available as a person of contact for other maintenance services, for the duration of the stay, with advance notice and mutual agreement. I benefit greatly from concise notes on your pets’ needs and home expectations during overnight stays, for drop in visits or walks.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life. Have cared for pets since a young age. Have knowledge and understanding of their behaviors and needs. I’ve taken obedience training with my dogs in the past and am an advocate for positive reinforcement. I work on site 3 days out of the week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays) and work from home 2 other days (Tuesdays and Fridays), with weekends off. I have flexibility to visit and walk your pet(s) multiple times throughout the day. With advanced notice, we can arrange something that works for us both and your pet, of course. I can accommodate only pets if needed. I am available for home visits and overnight stays at your home. I will only walk your dog(s) on leash and will avoid encounters with other pets regardless of their friendliness for the safety of your dogs. I will follow your feeding schedule and give your pet(s) lots of attention and mental stimulation.

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
“I had a great experience with Anna. I was comfortable leaving my 2 dogs with her while I was traveling. She was taking good care of them, made each visit on time and kept me updated about everything.”
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Zoey did INCREDIBLE with our very needy, somewhat bipolar, cat. Despite his attempts and successes at drawing blood, she was always so attentive to him and giving me all the updates (which I love). I definitely recommend Zoey and will reach out to her when we go out of town 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: I’ve had my own dog for the last 5 years, took care of my childhood dog before that, and have cared for other people’s pets throughout that time! I love spending time playing with pups outside, it’s a big part of my day anyway! I set aside 3-4 hours a day to take my dog on a walk, we frequent the meadows in golden gate park, fort funston, and some trails in the presidio. I keep my home tidy so dogs don’t have access to things they’re not supposed to eat. I make sure everyone is comfortable and have their needs taken care of (food, potty breaks, entertainment, snacks, cuddles/personal space, etc.) My dog isn’t territorial at all and quite likes having friends over, but ofc they should meet first!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Tarzana is $25

We are so happy we found Cecilia to take care of our two cats. It was a huge relief to be able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that they were in good hands. Cecilia was super responsive to messages, very reliable and consistent with time, and she even managed to get our very shy rescue cat come out to say hello! The photos she sent every day made us smile and we knew the cats were happy based on their behavior. We would highly recommend and will absolutely be booking Cecilia again next time we travel!
Adriana is a natural with cats. We have two cats, one is outgoing and friendly, the other is shy and friendly. I didn't think she'd see the shy one for a few days, but during our meet Adriana sat down and the shy cat came running to her. Adriana visited the cats daily while we were away, took care of everything on our checklist and provided great photos along with a summary of each visit. 10/10 would recommend!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tarzana stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tarzana. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
