“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.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. As a kid, I started my own business doing this exact thing! I have two dogs, Louie is the sweetest 9 y/o Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Kaizer is my 1 y/o very social Doberman! They both get along with dogs big and small, old and young! I know they would love to get to know your fur babies. The more the merrier! I’ve watched many adorable pups throughout my life, including with Rover. I took a break for traveling and work, but am excited to open my calendar back up to you! I spend most of my day at home with my dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is ideal for dog walking and pet sitting. My house is a great place for short and long stays. With more than enough outdoor yard space, a cozy indoor space with extra dog beds, crates (if asked), and so many interactive dog toys, you’ll be comforted to know your pup is has everything they need and more. Indoors: I have plenty of room in the house, so whether your pup prefers it’s personal space or to be have companionship with my two dogs, we can do whatever makes him/her be most comfortable. I also do allow my dogs on the furniture, so that won’t be a problem for me if that’s what they are used to. Outdoor: My house is a great place for overnight stays, I have a large front yard, even larger back yard that is fullly fenced, and a smaller courtyard that I use as well! I’ve also got plenty of toys, balls, and treats so they can chew, chase, tug, fetch, or just chill. I also have a filtered water fountain that holds over 2L to ensure fresh, clean water for your doggo anytime, all the time! I am very experienced with tending to medical needs in animals. I can administer oral, topical, or if they have a condition that requires an injections. As my pup underwent a serious surgery a few years back, I pretty much know everything about the anatomy of a dog If your pup is comfortable in crates, I have two different sized crates that I can use to accommodate. One is a small/medium sized crate that fits my Cavalier King Charles, and other is a Large/XL crate that fits my Doberman. I have a good bit of dog first aid supplies, just in case any accidents happen! But I will be by your pups side all the way to make sure he/she is playing safe! Oh, and of course I’ll be sending you updated pup pics :)
“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: 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.

There is a fenced playground area for safe outdoor exercise, and access to a pool for dogs who enjoy swimming. I can also provide a peaceful, relaxed environment for pets who prefer to take it easy. My home is smoke-free and kid-free, creating a calm environment where pets can receive lots of individual attention. I may also have foster kittens or puppies through my animal-shelter involvement, and I’m happy to discuss this with you beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe.

About: Every pet is taken care of to their specific personality, preferences, and needs. Building their trust and happiness at their pace for creating fun memories together! I’m available for pack hikes, walks, and drop in pet sitting. Morning pick ups and drop offs about 2-3 hours total depending on hike and routes for all other dogs in the group. Pack hikes for new dogs are at a slow and welcoming pace! Instead of just putting random dogs together, I set them up with other dogs who I know love making new friends and can match their pace so they get the routine down and feel comfortable with the process. Then we build up from there so they are excited and expecting their daily hike outdoors with their dog friends!
“I love booking with Eileen! She is extremely communicative and ensures that she follows my notes. Eileen also went above and beyond with my cat by trying different ways to get her to eat more. She also updated me daily about my cat’s mood and health as well. Additionally, Eileen sent lots of pictures and videos each visit, which I greatly appreciated. The videos (with lots of purring) showed me just how much my fur baby loves her. Thank you again Eileen!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tarzana
Zoey was fantastic. It was our first time having someone other than family take care of our cats, but they quickly decided that she was family! Zoey was very attentive, to both cats and humans, and brought a sense of calm to our home. I would highly recommend Zoey and will definitely have her watch our girls again!
Sanaz was totally reliable. She sent photos for each visit, cleaned my cats’ many litter boxes, and kept things clean (which I don’t even do). When I came back, the water bowls were clean and full and the automatic feeders were filled. Plus my cats liked her! I think one actually has a crush on her.
Madelyn is very friendly, easy going and attentive. We arranged a meet and greet to confirm she felt comfortable with a large dog. Charlie loved her and appreciated her presence! She provided frequent updates during her check in visits. I would definitely recommend her!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tarzana is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $38 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 16,558 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tarzana. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
