“Another great sit with Hannah! She is so kind to our dear animals. A very conscientious housesitter. Didn’t have to worry about a thing while we were away.”
About: My goal is to create an environment and relationship that makes your life easier and your pup happier. I’m loving, gentle, and patient with all pup ages! I’m available any day of the week. I just ask for a 2 day notice for booking and for canceling. For walks, preferably early morning or evenings (especially in hot days. I want your pup to enjoy their walk, and not be uncomfortable or in pain from the hot pavement) I appreciate your consideration! I adapt to what your puppy is used to. My goal is not to brake their routine. I would like to jump in where you need me to assist and maintain the routine you approve and would like to maintain. I’m here to help you both!
“Gold stars all around. We have a senior cat who is clearly happy when we return home. Our dog is a simple girl and is obviously adored on when we are gone. Couldn’t be happier with Hayley.”
About: I have been working as a veterinary assistant for 18 years and have done pet sitting and dog walking for 16 years. I have loved animals since i was a little girl. I can schedule walks for earlier in the morning or when the sun is going down. Since it's to hot to go during the day I have a fenced in back yard. I can't board animals at my house. But i can take animals on walks, drop ins and over nights depending on where the place is.
“Viky was a really amazing house sitter for my cats! She was even able to clip their nails! I got many updates and she was really communicative. I will definitely be hiring her for house sitting in the future.”
“Victoria was a great pet-sitter! Communication was easy and pleasant, and she took wonderful care of our pets. Moon and Hermione were truly spoiled in our absence. I warmly recommend her!”
“Casey was perfect! She stayed with my dog Cokie for a week while we were out of town and it was love at first sight. Despite her joyous reunion when we returned, she was still looking around for Casey, and slept in the bed she used for a few more days.”
“Kendi is terrific!! She took great care of my large shepherd mix and cat. She sent lots of daily photos and provided updates. She’s also very responsive. Highly recommend and will definitely hire again!”
“Jennifer did a great job with my senior pup and young kitty. She is patient, attentive and communicated constantly throughout her stay. We had a massive heatwave and Jennifer ensured my boys were safe and well cared for. She took great care of my home as well. It was nice to see everyone enjoying themselves. I booked her immediately for another stay!”
“Katy took such good care of my four furbabies, especially my Otis, who is paralyzed from the waist down. Katy made sure Otis was clean, messaged and taken care of with his extra needs. She was communicative as she sent lots of videos and pictures throughout the visit, I loved all the updates she gave me. She was reliable for last minute requests, I didn’t have time to walk my dogs before leaving and she was more than willing to come early and walk them. She was affectionate towards my furbabies, they loved cuddling with her! I came home from my trip and my dogs were relaxed it showed that she spent lots of time exercising them outside and on walks. She went above and beyond by washing blankets/diapers, doing the dishes, as well as other things. It was definitely a relieve that I didn’t have to worry about my cats or dogs while away from home. Will be using Katy as a pet sitter in the future.”
About: I’m a caring and responsible person who loves all animals. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but between a full time job and traveling I wouldn’t want to leave my dog alone for so long. So for now I get my dog fix by hanging out with everyone else’s! Over the years I’ve watched and walked my friends dogs. I’ve mostly cared for small to medium sized dogs, but open to meeting larger dogs too! I’ve taken care of dogs with different personalities. Bean, my longest fury friend who I’ve watched grow up for about 4 years, feeding him, walking him and giving him attention when he wanted it. I’ve enjoyed the many hours we’ve spent just sitting on the couch watching tv together. I’ve also watched energetic dogs like Squid, who is my coworkers dog and let me tell you, he loves attention! If you don’t give it to him, he will keep barking at you. I’ve also cared for senior dogs. Like my cousins adorable dog Ketchup, who loves naps and walks. There was a weekend where I had to take care of him while my cousin was away. They had him on a schedule. I had to make sure he received his medications at certain times, took him out for small walks, and fed him at certain times. I’ve also cared for Dandy, who was also a senior dog that had walking issues. I would put her in a wagon to take her outside so that she could enjoy some fresh air. It was my friend’s family dog and she would let me take Dandy to work with me so that she wasn’t home alone. I would put a blanket next to my desk so that she could relax on. She was such a sweet dog! Wether your dog wants to go out for a walk, play or just cuddle on the couch, I would love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the same care and attention I would want for my own dog. Until I’m ready to become a dog mom, I’m happy to become the neighborhood dog auntie! I’m currently working a full time job during the week, but available all day on Saturday and Sunday to walk your dog or dogs. I’ll take good care of your dog on our walks. I’ll make sure to keep a good distance from other dogs. If the ground is too hot to walk your dog, I will recommend scheduling in the evening when the ground becomes cooler so that they don’t burn their paws. If you would like photos of your dog while we are on a walk, I would be happy to provide photos.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats pretty much my whole life and have taken care of dogs for friends and family for years. I’m really comfortable around different types of dogs and understand how to read their behavior and approach them in a calm, respectful way. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and well looked after. I’ve always been around pets growing up, so caring for them feels like a natural part of my routine. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I regularly help friends and family by taking care of theirs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with them, I genuinely enjoy it and make it a consistent part of my daily and weekly schedule whenever the opportunity comes up. At the moment, I’m not able to host animals at my place of residence. I’m hoping that changes soon so I can incorporate pet care more into my daily routine, but for now I’m happy to provide care in your home.
About: I’ve had my anxious baby boy black cat since he was a little foster kitten in 2020. I also grew up with a crazy maltipoo, birds, turtles, and more, so I’m very comfortable caring for all types and personalities! I’m currently working part time as a nanny for human babies, so I have plenty of odd hours to help with your fur babies too! I’m happy to follow any safety and care instructions you have. I can play with more social animals or be gentle and quiet with more anxious pets.
“Naomi was amazing! She sent lots of photos and videos while we were away. She followed instructions and gave updates along the way. I will book her again :) Sadie definitely made a new friend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tujunga
We used Michelle and Elizabeth (Lisa) for in home care for our puppy while we were traveling and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I was anxious about leaving our puppy for the first time and knew she needed more hands on care and attention since she’s a baby. We received pictures and updates throughout every day we were gone and our puppy had the time of her life! I highly recommend their services!
Kristine was amazing with our boys. We came home to tired, happy pups, which told us they got plenty of playtime and attention. The house was also clean and tidy—honestly like she was never even here. She was communicative, prompt, and really easy to work with. We’d absolutely love to have her back again if she’s available the next time we need someone to watch our boys.

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 Tujunga 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 Tujunga 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 Tujunga 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 .
