“My babies had a blast! Renata was able to help my husband and I in a pinch and take the pups with the reservation being made just the day before. She was extremely responsive and sent so many sweet pictures and videos!”
“Dominique is great! Upon their first meeting, my Charlie took to her like a long lost friend! She is very communicative with updates and I could tell they were having a bunch of fun together! Thank you so much Dominique for being available when we needed you most to take care of Charlie Ballz!! We'll definitely be in touch for another visit!! ;)”
“Stacey was so wonderful with Loki and he was so happy in her home. She was extremely flexible with our travel delays and I would book her again in a heart beat!”
“Robert was amazing with Jedi. He sent photos and updates on a daily basis. Upon pick up, Jedi was clean, content and well behaved (almost better than what I had left him) haha. Highly recommend this user!”
“Our dog stayed here over Christmas and had such a wonderful time! He loved playing with their dog and the other doggie guests and came home happy, tired, and relaxed. We really appreciated the photos and updates and could tell he was treated like part of the family. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him, we will absolutely book again!”
“Kyle was great!! He was always very quick to respond and sent pictures of Brooklyn throughout his stay with him. Kyle was also very accommodating and agreed to meet us a few days before watching Brooklyn. Brooklyn is a little nervous and sometimes takes a bit to warm up to new people but Kyle was great with him and it seems like Brooklyn warmed up pretty quickly which I was very happy to hear! Will definitely use Kyle again in the future!”

My dog was very well taken care of and I will definitely book Carola’s services again. Very trustworthy, very flexible with drop off and pick up times and really good at communicating and updating.”
“If I could leave 10 stars I would! Arya was treated like part of the family, I was constantly getting pictures of her on walks, at the beach, in cafes, and playing with their adorable dog Cream. I was nervous trying a new dog sitter but I couldn’t be more happy I found them. I absolutely recommend Chan and Jibin!”
“Jolie took incredible care of my two dogs, Loki and Sylvie, for a week while my husband and I were traveling. We had the dogs meet her at their house before we dropped them off the next day so they’d be more comfortable, and immediately you could see just how much they love animals. My two dogs even ran straight into the house because they felt so comfortable! Jolie was kind enough to let me come inside and see the house and they have plenty of space for the dogs to play, which Loki and Sylvie absolutely loved. I gave them very specific instructions for both dogs and they followed them perfectly. Every day I would receive plenty of pictures, updates, and even videos of our furry babies, who were so happy and felt right at home. I highly recommend Jolie to anyone looking for a fantastic, experienced, caring pet sitter! I will absolutely be booking them again next time!”
“Very caring and willing to make sure we were comfortable dropping off our pet's first stay. Very much appreciated the outreach and first meet before the booking. Highly recommend for first time Rover Boarders! Made us feel secure the entire stay!”

Cat caregivers near you - Van Nuys
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: My first experience with cats was discovering 6 kittens under my home when I was 7! Since then I have been fortunate enough to always be around to care for kittens and cats who need homes. I currently have 2 female cats both foster fails. I have cat sat for numerous friends and family members who have pets with diverse personalities. I have experience with very timid cats, and very social talkative ones. I am comfortable being around cats with all types of behaviors and am not intimidated by the fur babies who just need a bit more time and patience to get comfortable!
“Bethany is the best! We felt so reassured knowing our cats were in great hands. It was easy to communicate with her, and we loved all the cute photos and updates. We could tell our cats loved her- even our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly! We would definitely book Bethany again.”
“Jenny was a FANTASTIC sitter for our two cats! She sent detailed updates with multiple photos most days we were gone. She worked with our boys’ quirks and earned the love of them both, even our grumpy old guy. We definitely recommend Jenny to anyone!”
“Mikayla is always such a gem, so blessed to have found her. She takes such wonderful care of our girls whenever we’re away and even makes sure their area in the home is tidy for our return. Thanks Mikayla!”
“Dayna will go above and beyond for your babies! She was an absolute delight to work with and made the whole situation extremely easy for me and my cats. I would definitely trust her with my pets again and would recommend her to family and friends. She’s a cat whisperer! She always kept me up-to-date with bunch of pictures and how my girls were doing. Thank you Dayna!”
“Haley is so amazing! She took great care of our two girls while we were away on vacation. She was super responsive and provided such helpful updates along the way that offered reassurance our cats were in fantastic hands while we were away. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Good communication, respected my kitties and their boundaries as they can be pretty shy. Punctual, recommend sitter and roll definitely consider if my babies need a sitter in the future”
“Vanessa was great! She came over a few days before our trip to meet our two cats and see where everything is. She sent us photos and gave them some loving which was great to see. She did everything we asked and we came home to a clean kitty environment. Very professional and sweet. Would totally book again!”
“Isabella did drop by visits for my cat when I was away for the holidays, and even though I was nervous using Rover for the first time, I felt very comfortable after seeing her check ins! Everyday Isabella took notes and sent pictures after her visits and I could tell my cat was doing okay and started warming up to her :) it took a whole lot of stress off my plate when I was away and I’m very grateful!”
“Lauren has been so responsive to my very last minute reservation. My cat also needed medication and she was open to that as well!! She’s been so helpful and I would definitely recommend her. Can’t thank her enough!”
“Kelly did a wonderful job caring for my cat over a 5-day stay. From the beginning, she was very accommodating and made time to set up a meet-and-greet to ensure it was the right fit, which I really appreciated given that my cat is quite needy and territorial. During her visits, she was incredibly patient and calm, even when my cat was initially growling and hissing at her. She handled him with such care and understanding that he eventually warmed up and started showing her affection with rubs and cuddles. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely book with Kelly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, gentle, and attentive pet sitter.”
“He was very kind and thorough with my cat. He paid close attention to all the details and asked questions. I really appreciated how careful and precise he was. Great communication and very punctual. Thank you!”
“Jessica is an amazing pet sitter! She’s super responsive, is caring and affectionate towards pets, and will make sure to leave detailed information for each fur baby during every visit. Will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her!”
“It was my first time using Rover and I had a very good first experience. Mackenzie came for a meet and greet and made me feel comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care. She did a great job communicating and handling my cats having to be separate for the weekend. I would def rebook with her .”
“Gabriela's catsitting for our cat Riddle was the definition of above and beyond. Our cat is one year old and very energetic. When this meant that she toppled the auto-feeding machine that we had set up for the mornings (multiple times), Gabriela went out of her way to come to our apartment outside of her scheduled check-ins (multiple times) to make sure Riddle still got fed and to fix the machine (ultimately improvising a clever solution to support it involving a scarf and a bookshelf). Needless to say, we will be getting a new auto-feeder but keeping the same catsitter in the future if we can, haha. Gabriela was attentive and helpful and Riddle was head over hills for her, I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet!”
“Katherine continues to be one of the best Rover’s we’ve worked with for our cat. She’s so on it, timely, communicative, takes amazing photos, writes detailed updates, and has a great attitude. Highly recommend!”
“Jen is a great pet sitter! She showed so much care and attention to my kitties as well as being a great communicator while I was out of town. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Helen was truly excellent. My cat immediately liked her and I know he enjoyed his time with her because she sent me so many (welcome) videos and pictures. She updated me not only whenever she was coming and going but when and how much he was eating so there is no doubt in my mind that she spent a great deal of time at my house with my cat despite having her own family, and that she spent lots of loving time with my fur baby. She did the laundry, replaced the tissues and detergent, which I didn’t even request, and she left the place cleaner than when I left. I feel much better planning trips knowing that I now have more than one dependable pet sitter. Highly recommend.”

About: We both have had and cared for dogs since we were children. We’d be very happy to open up our home to your best friend. My wife and I work from home so your dog will never be alone for long. Our regular routine includes walks around the block and local parks. Our building is very pet friendly. We have dog bowls, medium sized crate and bedding. We also have chew toys and the occasional dog treat.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for 25 years. I use to be a zookeeper for 8 years and have worked with exotic animals for over 10. I have basic training skills and am good with large dogs. I am currently working part time and have most days free and evenings as well. Local neighborhood walks or pick ups would be ideal, but not necessary. I currently do not have any other pets. I do have a fenced in back yard and live in a house. Bathroom breaks can happen frequently when boarding.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Van Nuys
Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I have experience walking dogs of all ages and sizes (German Shepard, huskies, Maltese, poodle, frenchies). As a teen I walked dogs for the elderly who resided in a retirement home. I grew up with large dogs and have learned patience and awareness through my experiences. I currently have two talkative cats and have participated in rescuing stray kittens from a Carl’s Jr. parking lot. I love animals and have learned from each and every one of them that I have had the pleasure of meeting in my lifetime. I am currently between jobs and have a lot of free time to take pups for walks! I am available weekends and holidays! I enjoy being outside and going for early morning walks and would love to do that with a dog! I am comfortable watching pets within a home or backyard if needed. I can carry dogs if they are uncomfortable using stairs or if they have special needs. I am extremely cautious when dogs are a flight risk and tend to triple check harnesses and walking gear!
“Thank you for coming on time, figuring out how to deal with my shy Mamba. You took him all the way to the park, awesome. And he seemed happy and affectionate when I got home.”
“Tim is an amazing dog walker! Professional, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about animals. Myloh absolutely adores him, and we’ve noticed such a positive difference in energy and behavior. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation.”
“Kyle did an amazing Job walking our large dog once a day while I was out of town. He truly came through when we needed him, to get our dog the long walk he needed once a day. He provided numerous pictures everyday while they were out on walks to provide my family with the assurances we all desire when we're not around. We will certainly think of him first in the future!”
“I'm so particular about who cares for my pets and enters my home while I'm not there, but I wholeheartedly trust Johanna! My girls love her and I know they're in good hands with her around. Absolutely my go-to walker / sitter!”
“Vanesa was wonderful—attentive, friendly, and clearly great with dogs. She even offered to apply sunscreen to Piper, which was incredibly thoughtful. Highly recommend!”

“Emmy was great with my dog Wrigley! She took the time to come meet him beforehand. She was kind and considerate. You can tell she really loves dogs and is dedicated to their care!”
“Kat was able to accommodate a super last minute request to do a series of walks for our girl. Though it had been many months since she and Lusi had last met and we were not able to do a reintroduction, Kat was very patient with her and got Lusi warmed up to her within a few minutes. She followed care instructions well and sent tons of pictures. Very communicative and capable of handling our strong-willed girl on walks. Will absolutely hire her again!”

I’ve used her multiple times and always impressed! 👏”
“Vanessa is absolutely wonderful. My dog is always so excited to see her and loves their walks! She is very friendly and communicative, and also flexible, which I appreciate. I’m very grateful for her!”
