“Hannah is such a reliable and kind animal-lover, I feel 100% confidence leaving my four cats in her care, even if three of them are kittens and it's a bit of a rambunctious household at the moment. She was super communicative and quick to respond. She also left the house possibly cleaner than I had left it, so that was supremely appreciated after returning home from a busines trip. I recommend her wholeheartedly and hope to be able to book her again for future trips!”
“Noemi stayed with our senior Bichon Poodle while we went on vacation. While we were away she sent us photos of our little guy enjoying walks and at our home. When we returned to our house, it was so clean and well cared for. What impressed me most was that the shutter in our bedroom was broken BEFORE Noemi ever came & I forgot to tell her about it. She tried to open it & thought she was the one who broke it, so she sent me a picture apologizing. I assured her that she was NOT responsible for the broken shutter- that had happened a long time ago, but I was so impressed with her honesty for letting me know. That shows true character! Our dog was happy and as healthy as a very aging senior can be when we returned. I felt like Noemi took really good care of our sweet boy. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Noemi again!! She is truly awesome!! 5+stars for sure!!!”
“Madeline was such a great doggy sitter! I have two pups, both with their own special personalities (one is a little shy and anxious and the other is a little reactive to strangers). She came to do a meet and greet so they would feel comfortable the day of, and she was so patient and sweet with them. She was very attentive and listened to all the details we were sharing with her. She seemed super confident and experienced. For the day of (we were actually getting married!), we did not have to worry one bit about them and she sent us many cute pictures to update us on how they were doing. They looked at ease :) Would definitely recommend her and will contact her again if we ever need a dog sitter. :)”
“Sarah was great company for my dog Elsa who has separation anxiety. My regular sitter was unavailable and she came to the rescue when I wasn’t sure if I could find someone in time. Thank you!”
“Kat was great. She watched my senior dog + puppy for 6 days. She took my puppy on walks, gave my senior dog her meds & kept in communication with me about all their feedings, walks, and activities! I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting for 3 years, and honestly, I just really love dogs! 🐶 I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, with most of my experience being with bigger dogs. I’ve looked after two Huskies at once, a Standard Poodle, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, and senior dogs. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso and was lucky enough to care for him myself during his senior years, so I understand how much extra patience, love, and attention older pups can need. I’m also very active and genuinely love going for walks. I average at least 10,000 steps a day, so if your dog loves a good walk, we’re probably going to be best friends! I’m very comfortable staying in other people’s homes and actually enjoy helping dogs stay in the environment they know and love. My goal is to keep your pup happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and, of course, lots of love! I work part time remotely with lots of flexibility and can bring my laptop anywhere. I don’t not have a partner or children so I can dedicated the proper time to looking after your pet! I will ensure that gates and doors are locked. The dog is on leash whenever we leave and to avoid other dogs and people if necessary. I will stick to your wishes on how you want your pet looked after.
“Chelsea is the best! We’ve had many sitters over the years, but our current pet mix requires someone special. We have a 16-year-old chihuahua with multiple meds and a very specific routine, and a barely 1-year old male golden retriever. On top of that, it was pouring rain, making puppy exercise really difficult. She has strong communication skills, sending us regular updates and pictures. Chelsea was creative in problem solving and we never worried! Our dogs were happy and our home was in one piece upon return.”
About: I am a dog mama to a 13 year old chihuahua who I've had the pleasure of caring for throughout every era of her life. Before that I cared for our family dog until his passing at the age of 18. I love pets of all ages, but find caring for senior animals to be a particular honor. Our pets bring so much joy to our lives and my goal as a pet sitter is to provide comfort, care and love to all animals. Especially while there human counterparts are out of town. As a pet mama, I understand the importance of sharing updates and communicating with my fellow pet parents! Btw I work from home so if I'm watching your babies, I'll be with them most of the time. I work as a freelance fashion designer and stylist, so as long as we discuss scheduling ahead of time, I will be very available to care for your pets! At this time I am only taking on clients with pets who are okay with me bringing my dog along. My pets practically run my household and I build my work and social schedule around whatever my pets may need!! While caring for my clients home/pets I make sure to provide all fur babies with the love and affection they not only require, but deserve. I implement enrichment practices such as walks or playtime as well as whatever each individual pet parent requests.

About: Lifelong dog lover, lifelong dog owner, 6 year Tujunga resident and 20 year Burbank resident. Kind, friendly, patient and responsible. I look after all dogs as if they're my own. Pint sized Chihuahuas, 200 pound Mastiffs and everyone in between, no problem. You can trust your dog will be cared for with all your details and instructions followed, as if you were right there in-person. I also have experience and affection for elderly and injured dogs who need extra patience and care. I'm currently available any day of the week for walks and drop-in visits, and always happy to implement any training you'd like your dog to be working on. I look forward to hearing from you, thanks! My furry friend Kodi and I have been together 12 years. We walk every morning & evening, we enjoy naps together when possible, and we play as much as I feel is safe for his age. Always on a leash unless the yard or park is enclosed and safe for off-leash, and always avoiding interactions with other dogs if something doesn’t feel right.
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!
“Fairuz was very sweet and caring with our Australian Shepherd. There were some small communication issues about when she would be there but it all got worked out and the weekend went well. Our pup was perfectly fine when we got back. Thank you, Fairuz!”
About: I absolutely love dogs. I've grown up with dogs all my life, sometimes with 5 in the house at a time. Along with taking care of my own dogs, I began dog sitting and dog walking for family members and family friends when I was 15. I love making dogs happy, getting them out of the house on walks, playing tug of war with them, or just cuddling on the couch. I am a full time college student taking mainly online classes so I have a good amount of availability. I am available Monday-Friday mainly all day, for the weekends I have limited availability but I can always be flexible. I think being respectful of what your boundaries are is most important. Every owner and pup is different and I can adapt well to the different needs for each one. I believe that being gentle and patient is a necessity when it comes to pet care. When walking or caring for your pet I will hold the upmost care for them.
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.
“Hope like Jenny so much and she is a nice person she make sure that she will always besides my baby very attentive.she follows all the instruction s.thanx so much hope to see you again to take care of Hope.”
“I'm delighted to share that Katherine provided outstanding care for our whippet, Finn. Her commitment was evident as she went above and beyond, even staying overtime to ensure Finn's well-being until we returned. We greatly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her as a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Verdugo City
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!
We came home to a happy pup! We’ve had our dog, Ludo, for over a year and a half and haven't had to leave him for any significant amount of time. So you can imagine our hesitation leaving him for four days while we took a cross-country trip. Thankfully, we found Cody on Rover. He immediately put us at ease with his warm, welcoming demeanor. Ludo took to him instantly, sniffing him like an old friend—and if that isn't a seal of approval, I don't know what is! Cody was punctual and followed Ludo's routine to a T. He sent frequent photo updates that eased our anxiety about being away from him for an extended period. Cody kept our minds at ease and our pup wonderfully entertained. We’ve already decided to book him for all our future trips. If you're nervous about leaving your pet with someone new, you couldn't be in better hands than with Cody.
Casey watched our pups and house sat for us while we were away on vacation for the week. It was our first time leaving the dogs for that long and weren’t sure how they would do because they can be nervous around new people. The dogs warmed up to her right away and Casey was very reassuring when we were feeling anxious about leaving them! Casey was communicative and followed care instructions closely. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again!
Julianna cared for my two schnauzers in my home for a week. I was so impressed by her care and attention to detail. My dogs can be yappy and excitable and Julianna’s kindness and calming presence enabled them to warm to her quickly. She played with my dogs regularly, provided them with love and attention and quickly became their favorite person! Julianna also thoughtfully inquired about my preference on the cadence of communication and provided me regular updates. This was the first time I had hired a housesitter for my pups, so it was very comforting to hear from her regularly. Further, my home is in an area populated by coyotes, and Julianna followed all of my safety instructions to keep my dogs safe from predators. Beyond the excellent care Julianna provided to my dogs, she also treated my home with incredible respect and left it in better condition than she found it. I trust Julianna with my dogs and my home and will book with her again. If you want someone warm, respectful, and professional you should book with her too. Thank you Julianna!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Verdugo City is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $70 per night. 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.

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 Verdugo City 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 Verdugo City 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.
Tip: 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 Verdugo City 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
