“Thank you, Yoo Jee for taking care of our dogs! Both my dogs are very strong and have a lot of energy, so they're not the easiest to handle, but Yoo Jee did a wonderful job handling them and making sure their needs were met!”
“You can tell Vanessa is great with animals. Our shy guy warmed up to her right away. And she handled our 80 lb big guy well, too. We will definitely hire her again to come walk our dogs.”
“Kathryn took great care of my cat Fancy while we were away for a few days. Lots of photo updates and written descriptions of her visits! Kathryn was a huge help and I will definetely rebook into the future.”
About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.
About: experience as a pet sitter for cats, dogs, and other small animals. Attention to detail to each personality and each accommodation and needs while providing the best care while making safety top priority I’m currently working part-time and pet sitting is something that I love and thrive to do I always believe that you must love what you do in order to provide the best outcome I have a secure fence and lots of room for playtime my home is a loving welcoming home well secured for all pets enough room for play and rest
About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages. I currently have a senior dog, so I’m familiar with the extra patience, attention, and care that older pets often need. Since I was 16, I’ve provided pet sitting and house sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, giving me experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering routines, and ensuring pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand the importance of keeping owners updated so they can feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. Currently I have open availability. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and providing companionship, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. My top priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. During drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. During walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses as directed, stay aware of my surroundings, and prioritize each pet’s safety at all times. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to build trust and ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owner is away.
“Rachel was great with our new dog, Bruce! He gets nervous when he is home alone at the moment, but Rachel made Bruce feel safe and calm. Giving lots of attention and cuddles. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, chickens, and fish. I’m exited to meet your fur babies! I’m a part time college student so I’ll be available most of the week and weekends. I’m available for drop ins as long as 2 hours and I can stop by up to 3 times per day:) I can board most days of the week. While boarding I can feed, play, walk or groom your pet if needed. I will ensure your pet is happy and safe as well.
“Julia is amazing! She cared for Shadow who has behavioral issues with so much patience and care. She was very attentive to him and she sent video and picture updates. I fully trust her with my fur baby and would definitely schedule with her for all my dog sitting needs. I highly recommend!”
“Emma was super responsive and on-time for a last minute booking. Finn was instantly comfortable with her which made us feel much safer, being that it was our first reservation in LA and in our new place. She regularly sent us pictures of the two of them lounging ❤️ would definitely reach out to her again should the need arise.”

About: I’m a natural dog/cat lover and I’m so excited to meet your fur baby🤗 I have a super sweet pit bull/boxer mix in need of a walking buddy and friends to play in the park! She’s great with all animals, large, small or different species, as long as they’re ready to play. Don’t hesitate to ask for pictures or videos! I do have a job with varying hours, so feel free to message me and ask if I’m available, I’m pretty flexible and accommodating! Thank you for trusting me ❤️🦮🐈 Regular Hours: MON-SUN 2PM-9PM I currently have a part-time job, so regularly I am able to take care of your pup from 2PM-10PM. Message me to ask about a certain date/time! I have my own puppy who loves to play with any and every dog. We have a dog park at my complex to run around and play in and a large neighborhood to walk around.
About: I love going on long walks with pets. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and love every single size of dogs. I’m a very gentle person which allows dogs to not be intimidated by me and usually approach me easily. I’m good at calming down dogs if they ever feel aggressive. I always put their needs first and try to make them feel as comfortable as they can during the time I’m with them. I love to cuddle them and make them feel loved. I’ll give them a lot of attention so that they don’t feel lonely when the owner is away from home. I have a lot of free time on Fridays as well as the weekend but I can also be flexible with times during the afternoon in weekdays.
“Minerva is such a wonderful sitter. Fast, responsive, prompt, great communication. She was kind and loving and very attentive to our kitty cat when we were away. Awesome updates and photographs. It was reassuring having Minerva in our home with our cat. 100% recommend if you need a super sitter. We are really grateful.”
About: Hi! My name is Maxine, and I would love nothing more than to become your pet's best friend with the nurturing, love, high level of responsibility & care I can provide. I have 10+ years experience caring for dogs, cats, baby kittens, bunnies, as well as farm animals. Whatever direction or rules you have with your furry children, you can count on me to follow through with them and go above and beyond. I'm very comfortable and have no problem cleaning up, cuddling, playing, and taking pets for walks and playing outside. I also have experience taking pets to vet appointments and administration of medicine if needed. With a positive and upbeat attitude, there's never a dull moment. I'm looking forward to the journey I can begin with you and your pet, whether house sitting overnight or simply making sure their needs are met while you're away on holidays, weekends, and in the evenings if you want to take a night off. Currently work full time at an office and enjoy pet care after work and weekends, along with taking care of our own Goldendoodle, Ladybelle :) I am also willing to stay longer for house sitting with your pets in conjunction with working my full time job during the day. Prefer to watch your pets at your home as i currently have a Goldendoodle who is almost 2 years old, however if they meet and get along, and the pet owner is approving— happy to pet sit on the weekends at my own apartment.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Van Nuys
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 .
Katherine was the best! I’m so glad we found her. She was always on time and followed our complicated instructions to perfection. We especially loved the updates after her visits. We knew our furry babies were well taken care of. We will definitely use her again!
Minerva is the most amazing pet sitter. She attends so well to my babies and their needs, and communicates with me so amazing and goes above and beyond for my cats. This is the second time I’ve booked with Minerva, and I will forever book with her when I leave out of town. She helps relieve so much worry when I’m gone, and I know they will be well taken care of, and I don’t have to worry. I am so glad I found her, and she’s so amazing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Van Nuys on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,786 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Van Nuys. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Van Nuys. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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.
