“Cecilia was wonderful with Abraham! She was very informative and had great communication throughout. Abraham loved her, and I was so happy that he ate for her right away (he normally doesn’t eat for a few days after I leave). I would definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future.”

“Sanaz is so kind, attentive and very responsible and has already bonded with our English bulldog, Rosie. She keeps us constantly updated and has eased our worries about leaving Rosie during the day.”


About: **¡Hablo español!** I grew up with dogs and cats and have cared for them professionally for more than 15 years. I still love getting to know each pet’s personality. Whether your pet is staying in my home, joining me for a walk, or needs a drop in visit, I provide patient care and follow the routine they’re used to. ----------------------------- I’m comfortable with high energy dogs and can take yours for a jog if that suits their needs. I also have repeat clients whose dogs are happiest walking just a block or two, and that’s completely fine! My goal is to give each pet what they need, whether that’s affection, outdoor time, potty breaks, exercise, interactive play, or a quiet place to rest. ----------------------------- Although I love dogs, cats really speak to my heart. My family calls me the “cat whisperer.” I’m patient with shy cats and give them room to explore, hide, play, or come to me for attention when they’re ready. ----------------------------- I’m home most of the day, and there are no resident pets in our home. My wife works from home and can help while I’m out for my morning class. I’m comfortable caring for seniors and pets who need oral medication. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, litter, and medication, and send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. ----------------------------- My two daughters are old enough to understand to give pets their space when they need it. They love giving both cats and dogs lots of attention and love! ----------------------------- Please feel welcome to ask me anything if you have any questions! I currently dedicate my time to caregiving and have a flexible daily schedule. Both my wife and I work from home, so your pet is never without someone to watch over them. I can adjust freely to whatever timing works best for your pet's routine. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as I can, including feeding, walks, litter, medication, and anything else you tell me they need. I watch for changes in their appetite, energy, or behavior and let you know if something seems off. At my home, I only book pets from one household at a time, so your pet won’t be sharing the space with another client’s dog or cat. We have one entrance and are careful to keep the door closed. Shy cats can start in a quiet bedroom and come out when they feel ready. Dogs get walks and outdoor breaks based on their usual schedule. For visits in your home, I follow your instructions for caring for your pet and securing your home before I leave. I send photos and updates so you know how the visit went.
About: I started dog sitting as early as 15 years old with my mom’s clients. As she was a house keeper and I would dog sit/walk/play with the dogs and it became my summer job to get money and experience for myself. I love all dogs and animals but I am a true dog lover! I have my own two dogs. My first ever dog I rescued at 4 years old and he lived up to 20 years old! I now have two dogs one is a recent rescue chicharito who is a chihuahua mix and I 1 1/2 years old and my terrier mix who is 9 years old and they are both thriving! I take care of dogs and animals as if they are my own. I always take the holistic approach with animals and meet them half way as I know each of our loving furry members have their own personalities 😊. I would love to play, love, and care for your furry friends and make sure they get the activities they need and exercise while parents are out running errands, working or just enjoying life! Looking forward to caring for your loved ones! If there are any details I would need to know about your furry friend let me know so I can best support you! I am currently working a part time job that is pretty flexible! I can come by and take care of your loving friend- go on walks, play, exercise, prepare enrichment activities you have at home if any, feed your loving friend and water! Most importantly making sure your loving friend feeds safe and cozy! I currently am not offering pet care in my own home. I can offer pet sitting at your own home if that is more convenient. (:
“We have never left Pete and Molly before and we were a little nervous. Thank goodness for Lila!! She was available last minute, checked in every visit and cared for them like we would. Lila is a very warm, friendly and personable young lady! It’s no wonder dogs love her!! I would recommend her to anyone who loves their animals like we do and wants to give them the best care :)”

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.
“so thankful for this app & wonderful sitters like Lucia. I felt so comfortable knowing she was taking great care of my cats & i would rebook with her in a heartbeat!”
“Leyla is a wonderfully kind and patient caregiver who is helping our very insecure dog feel comfortable with someone new. She has a gentle touch and a reassuring presence, making the process much easier. We’re grateful to have her in our corner and look forward to gradually working up to a longer dog-sitting arrangement with her!”

“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!”

“Ariana is our hero! She’s such an angel. It was our first time leaving our cat alone at home for a week. Ariana visited twice a day and was phenomenal. Our cat Dany has a lot of anxiety (just like her mom) so for Dany to fully trust Ariana was so comforting. Ariana was super clean and followed all of my detailed instructions. Dany loved her and we received so many pictures and great communication. So excited we found the perfect cat sitter for the future.”

About: As a certified professional dog trainer, I bring more than pet care to every visit—I bring behavior expertise. Since 2015, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to sensitive rescue dogs. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, help building good manners, or simply compassionate care, I focus on creating positive experiences that build trust, confidence, and lasting skills. Dogs are at the center of my daily life. My schedule is built around training sessions, walks, enrichment activities, and pet care visits. Because working with dogs is my profession, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and make each pet’s physical and emotional well-being a priority. In clients’ homes, I maintain respect as a center point of my services. Whether we’re doing a walk, training session or drop-in, my goal is to respect your space and help your pup(s) feel comfortable and secure. Walks, play, enrichment, training reinforcement, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection and positive reinforcement are all part of my approach.

About: In my household, we have always had a dog a part of our family. Growing up with dogs ignited my love for animals and being surrounded by pets. My most recent (now senior) dog has gone through surgeries, cancer treatments (with medication), and strict dieting so I am familiar with having to keep pets to a strict schedule and habits — while also giving them the best life possible with many walks and plenty of pets. I work a 9-5 job during the week with Fridays working remotely. I go in office usually from 9am -3pm and work the rest of the day remote but is subject to change. I am happy to accommodate and make it work for what you need and what works best for your pet(s)! I can also tomato by before and/or after work & dog/cat sit over weekdays and weekends. More can be discussed when booking, happy to answer any questions! I love and care for pets as if they are my own. In an initial visit meeting your animal(s), I take thorough notes to what your pet needs, what their usual schedule looks like, and any other important information regarding care. Making sure your pet is safe, healthy, and happy is first priority.
About: At HOMI, transparency and communication are very important to us 💛 I currently work at a canine training center, so I do not care for dogs completely alone. My husband helps me with supervision and care whenever I’m at work, which means your pup will always have company, attention, and care during their stay 🐶✨ I have 3 friendly and active dogs of my own, so we spend lots of time walking, playing, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and at home. I send regular photos and videos throughout the stay because I know how important it is to stay connected with your furry family member 💛 Our goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every dog feels like family — a home away from home. I currently work part-time in a dog training center, and I have free time that I would like to continue enjoying with more dogs and cats. I have a spacious apartment. With a balcony that will condition and turn it into a bathroom for dogs. I have cages and everything is equipped for the safety of the dogs.
“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.
“Tyla was delightful. She was professional, super friendly and confident. 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. We will be using her again for certain for our pet care needs”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tarzana
Daniela has been coming by on weekdays to let our dogs out while we're at work, and we could not be happier. She gives them real playtime instead of just a quick potty break, always tops off their water, and leaves the house exactly as she found it. Her communication is excellent. We always know when she's arrived and how the visit went, which takes a lot of worry off our minds during the workday. Our dogs clearly adore her. If you need someone reliable and genuinely good with animals, we recommend her without hesitation.

Kristen has been wonderful!!! Genuinely! You can really tell that she loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are taken care of. I just moved to this neighborhood and I’m really glad I met Kristen to hire for pet sitting in the future. Would recommend!!
Cecilia was wonderful with Abraham! She was very informative and had great communication throughout. Abraham loved her, and I was so happy that he ate for her right away (he normally doesn’t eat for a few days after I leave). I would definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future.

Haley once again took amazing care of our girls! My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found such a kind and caring sitter in Haley. The girls love her and even our older cat (who can be pretty aloof/distant with others outside of our family) has enjoyed playing with her. Do not hesitate in hiring Haley--she's a gem!

Ariana is an excellent pet sitter! She dropped in on our cat multiple times while we were on a short trip. She was super reliable, sent lots of pictures, and kept us throughly updated after each visit. Our cat was well taken care of, and we came home to a happy kitty. Will definitely book again!

Kylie did a wonderful job in caring for our dogs while I was unable to during surgery. She provided top quality care to our senior dogs and most especially to my daughter’s dog, Koda. During the time we were away, Koda was struggling with eating and standing on his own. Every morning, Kylie would help him to relieve himself and would also spoon feed him so he could eat. With her kindness, Koda was able to be strong enough to wait for my daughter to come home. Kylie was truly exceptional and is an amazing caretaker for animals.

Philip and Lauren were great! They dropped in at the scheduled times took care of everything as we had agreed. We received pics and vids of Lucky so we knew he was fine and messages keeping us up to date. This was our first time using Rover and will definitley be repeat customers. I would recommend Philip and Lauren without hesitation!!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

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.
