“Bethany is an absolutely phenomenal pet sitter who always left detailed notes on our three kitties! She also was a huge help in making sure two of our three cats got the meds they needed, which gave me and my husband so much relief and it really helped us enjoy our trip a little more. She gave us lots of photos of the boys too, which we really appreciated and looked forward to. You can definitely trust her with your pets!”
“Jenny is top tier!! I have no doubt in my mind my precious Charlie is in good hands with her. Wonderful descriptions and updates on Charlie when we’re gone! I honestly look forward to them. Amazing photography that includes action level shots. Jenny is my go-to. Highly recommend!”
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
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care our pet sitter, Jayleen, provided for our beloved cat, Moxie, while we were on vacation for a week. Jayleen went above and beyond to ensure Moxie was well-fed, hydrated, and entertained. She even took time to play with her, which made a huge difference. When we returned, it was clear Moxie had been in excellent hands—she was healthy, happy, and obviously very well cared for. We wholeheartedly recommend Jayleen to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. She is truly amazing, and we’re so grateful to her for taking such wonderful care of Moxie!”
“It usually takes time for my indoor cat to warm up to a stranger. But she approached Itzel when she saw her standing in the kitchen. I also appreciated her keeping me posted while I was gone. Her gentleness with the indoor cat helped me to feel more relaxed about being away. Itzel was reliable, and I appreciated the service she provided.”
“Minerva was incredibly responsive for our last-minute request for a daily drop-in to take care of our 2 cats. She gave great communication and cute photos of our boys to keep us feeling connected to them while we were traveling, and we came home to a clean place & happy kitties!”
“Zack was great with our cats and was very communicative during his drop in visits! He also was able to administer insulin to our diabetic cat which was a plus. Super attentive and great with animals. Will definitely be in touch with him again!”
“All of my kitties fell in love with Vanessa. She was as attentive to the shy and aloof adult cats as she was to the playful 12-week-old foster kittens. This was something I really appreciated, as my adult cats - while not hostile - aren't exactly charming to strangers. Vanessa told me she brought her own cat from to California when she moved here. That told me she thinks of pets as true lifetime companions. She then also adopted a dog and just exudes positive vibes. I would 100% recommend her services.”
About: I have extensive pet sitting experience and come from a family of animal lovers—we were always the go-to pet sitters, even when we didn’t have pets of our own. I genuinely love dogs (yes, I’m the guy who always asks to pet your dog). I’m based in Van Nuys and currently building my Rover profile as a part-time sitter. At the moment, I’m traveling by walking, which means I focus on nearby clients and reliable, on-time care. I take responsibility seriously and treat every pet like they’re my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Monday–Friday: late afternoon to late evening. Flexible and open to other times as needed, including late-night care. Let me know a week in advance if you need weekend care. On vacation July 13-31 I care for pets in my client’s home by following their instructions closely and making sure I respect their routines, rules, and preferences. I understand that every pet and household is different, so I take the time to learn what each animal is used to—feeding schedules, walking routes, behavior guidelines, and any special care needs.
“Yoo Jee is awesome. I’m def a helicopter cat parent and my trio can be a handful. Yoo Jee was great with the kitties and keeping the house clean and safe. Much appreciated and def will ask her to come again :)”
“Jaclyn is our go-to. Even when our plans have changed suddenly on us, Jaclyn has been there with the save. She's great with the photo and video updates, and our boys are super comfortable around her.”
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.
“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!”
About: I have had pets through all of their years..I managed to train my two dogs, and they are now perfect citizens. I have one cat...I love her!!! I have a lot of time. I am self employed so I have no problem working your pet's needs into my schedule. Looking forward to being part of your pet's life! I live in a house with a huge fenced back yard. I have an older dog who accepts all animals I have a cat who is friendly with both dogs and cats
About: I currently have a senior dog of 15, been looking after him and he’s doing great for his age even with his visual and hearing impediments thanks to all the love and support given to him, and knowing the specificities of what he needs such as diet, pets, and outside time. With cats, I usually win over aggressive and territorial ones by providing them the space they desire. It’s currently summer break, so I’m available at all times! I can hand the wheel of care of my own pets toward my parents who I live with. Let me know an hour in advance if you need a petsitter! I’m very dependent on scheduling and routine of your pet, and what kind of personality they have. Are they playful? Do they prefer having space apart? When do they eat? When is it time for play? Or to go outside?
About: There is just nothing better than being able to give back to dogs! They do so much for us, so I’m thankful for the opportunity to show them some love and care back. I decided to become a full-time dog-sitter so I could help owners in need of dog care while they experience all that LA has to offer without worrying about their dog's supervision. I was born and raised with a dog in the family, so animals and I have been inseparable. I know that it can be difficult to find quality care for your pooch while you’re away, so I’m here to fulfill that role! Before I moved to California, I had four dogs in the family back home in Miami. We had two Chow's (Luke and Texas), one Schnauzer (Chloe), and one German Shepherd (Storm). In addition to being an owner, I've also volunteered for several local adoption programs here in Cali as well as Miami. Before joining Rover, I was even a k-9 handler for Staples Center/LA Live security! I've also had experience with barn animals on a farm. I got to interact with horses, cows and baby goats there. They were very adventurous yet happy animals with no care in the world much like pups! When taking on a new client, I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great opportunity to make sure that we are a good fit for one another, plus we get to chat face-to-face about how to make your dog as happy as possible! I love to ask lots of questions so that I can figure out just what makes your pooch tick. Plus, I always just enjoy meeting a pup for the first time! I have no breed preferences, so all are welcome by me. When your pup is under my care, I’ll make sure that both you and your dog feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. To that end, communication is one of my strong suits. I provide owners with daily updates on how their pooch is doing with lots of accompanying photos to show off just how much fun we’re having! I always keep open lines of communication in case there is any need for questions or anything of the sort. For furry friends, I always try to recreate the conditions that they are used to at home. That means adhering as closely as possible to the schedule they have at home and providing them with tons of love! I’m always happy to go the extra mile for you and your pup, so just ask! Since I’m a full time student most of my time revolves around studying and heading to class but that’s about it. I have plenty of time to care for the beloved canines. I live in a spacious apartment so there is no yard. But I do have a court yard that they can run around and play.
“Tiffany was wonderful! We left our cat with her for 3 weeks and she took great care of him. This is the first time we've had to leave him for this long, but she made it easy for us to feel more comfortable about the experience. She and our cat got along really well, she was super responsive, and she sent us tons of photos and videos. She was also really attentive to him and his likes and dislikes -- when she noticed that he was interested in some boiled chicken that she was feeding to her dogs, she made sure to ask us if that was something he typically liked and was allowed to eat. Additionally, she was very accommodating of his habits. She bought him a cat cave in case he wanted to hide away (he loved it), and when he decided that his favorite place to be in her apartment was right on top of her pillow, she rolled with it which was very sweet. All in all, she was a great cat sitter, and we'd definitely recommend her to others in need of someone to take care of their cat!”
“Jamie did a great job checking in on our Moose while we were working. They played, went for walks and just had a fun time together. Jamie is trustworthy and easy to work with.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Van Nuys
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Cassidy! She was incredibly nurturing, responsible, and attentive, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about our fur baby. She treated our little one like her own, giving them lots of love, attention, and care while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, which gave us such peace of mind. We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with our Freddy again! Hire her now and you will not be disapointed.
Jennifer was the absolute best. I get so anxious and overwhelmed with leaving my special needs cat when I need to travel, but she was so wonderful with her and came right on time every day to bond with her, give her medication, and send detailed updates. I'll absolutely book with her again!!
Katherine was great at being on time and doing everything she was supposed to for my cat Arya - wet food, topping off fountain and refilling spare water bowl, cleaning litter box and taking a photo of Arya. She was communicative and let me know if there was anything wrong and brought in my Amazon package! She left great notes after each visit. Will book again in the future!
Jackeline has watched my cats a few times and she always does a fantastic job. I feel like she really cares about my boys and gave them lots of love and spoiled them appropriately while I was gone (as requested). Very communicative and always leaves everything as nice or nicer than I did. The best sitter I’ve had on Rover so far!
Heaven was right on time, respectful, kind, and communicative. She was wonderful with my senior cat and handled a long list of medication and care instructions with such grace. I really appreciated her visit and look forward to having her care for my cat again.
Bethany is a caring and thoughtful person. She watched our cat for 8 days (longest we’ve ever been away from our cat) and she took the best pictures and made sure our cat was happy and had company. I can’t recommend Bethany enough, she loves animals and is extremely reliable.
Minerva did such a fantastic job. I was a little worried since we needed her to care for a lot of pets with different foods, but she handled it all gracefully. She was also very accommodating to the times we needed her to come. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is detail oriented and trustworthy, your search can end here! Thank you Minerva!
Dana is a wonderful and thoughtful sitter. The photos that she sent of our dog and cat showed how happy they were with her. We felt secure in our choice of sitter and would definitely choose Dana in the future. She even watered our tomatoes while we were gone! Excellent sitter all around!
I am so grateful for Mikayla’s consistently thoughtful care of my beloved shy/grumpy six year old cat. The hardest part of travel is being away from my cat and it is a relief knowing he’ll have a kind, watchful eye on him, and access to his favorite treats while I’m away :)

As of September 2026, there are 7,958 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
