About: Caring for animals has been second nature to me since childhood. Over the years, my experience has spanned far beyond standard pet care- I've raised and cared for everything from dogs and cats to ferrets, bunnies, goats, pigs, and chickens. That diverse hands-on background taught me how to read animal body language, manage different temperaments, and handle daily routines with patience and confidence. Today, our home is a true animal-loving environment. We share our space with our sweet rescue dog, Valentina Bella, whom we welcomed into our family nearly two years ago. My two children have grown up sharing that same respect and gentle affection for animals, making our house a warm, nurturing second home. Expect to have a safe, calm environment: Your pet's comfort and routine come first. We prioritize safety, clear boundaries, and saree-free transitions. Attentive Care & Exercise: Whether your dog loves neighborhood walks, active playtime, or just lounging nearby while receiving gentle affection, their daily needs will be met. Consistent Communication: I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. You can count on regular updates, notes, and photos throughout their stay. Comfort with All Personalities: From outgoing social butterflies to rescues that need a little extra time and patience to feel secure, we know how to meet animals where they are. Because we already share our home with our own rescue dog, a steady, dependable pet routine is second nature to our household. My schedule allows for dedicated time before, during, and after work/school hours to give dogs the exercise and care they need. Mornings begin with breakfast and a solid walk to burn off energy before the day starts. During the day, our setup ensures pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended for extended periods. Evenings and weekends are completely centered around family and pets - featuring long neighborhood walks, play sessions, and calm downtime. We treat pet care as a priority and make sure visiting guests receive the exact same consistency, affection, and structure as our own dog. Safety is top priority. We start with a mandatory meet-and-greet to ensure compatible temperaments before any stay. Inside our pet-proofed, secure home, visiting pets are closely supervised, and slow, respectful introductions are always practiced. With years of experience managing diverse animals and rescues, I am vigilant about body language and routine boundaries. Your dog will never be left unattended with other pets or children without direct supervision. When walked, pets are always securely leashed. You'll receive prompt daily photos and honest updates so you always know your pet is secure and comfortable.
About: Hello! I have experience with senior dogs and special needs pups (my current pup has epilepsy). I understand the importance of being timely with meds, cleaning up messes, noticing if anything is off, providing structure, and showing so much love. I look forward to taking excellent care of your dog(s). I’m currently out of work and waiting for a new job to begin, so I have plenty of time to make sure your pet gets their food and meds at the right time, and to make sure they feel safe and loved with me. I am cognizant of dogs who try to escape, so I am careful when entering your home and meeting your pet(s). I don’t make loud noises or sudden movements, waiting for your pet(s) to sense my calm before I proceed. I am respectful of your space and your possessions whenever I am in your home.

About: I’ve spent lots of time around animals, and I have a dog of my own! I’m very patient because I work with kids and that transfers into this line of work well! I’m working part-time and have easy transportation which makes this a great gig for me. I’m flexible with my availability and I care about the work that I do. I have a dog named Codi who is my world and I adopted him at 4 weeks old and that taught me a lot about puppy care. I love walks with him and taking him on car rides. He loves to run around with me doing everything!
About: I’ve been walking dogs and house sitting for years and have always grown up with pets of my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pets and home with the same care I would my own! I’m currently working full time at a school, so I’m free during the week after 3pm and I’m free on the weekends for pet care or walks! I provide personalized care for pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them maintain their normal routine and reducing stress. Services can include feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications as directed, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes or cages, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention and affection.
“She was amazing with my Bully. Very patient and helpful to a lazy pup. Had no issues at all and impressed with her staying extra with him to let him relax. Will definitely use her again :)”
“Anthony is very patient and calm with our nervous dog. He always messages ahead of time to let me know he's on the way and arrives on time. He makes the effort to gain the trust of our dog. I am looking forward to having him care for her more.”
About: Since highschool, I've been watching family and friend's homes & pets. I have experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs, cats, fish and even some farm animals. I only ever had my own animals when I was a child so as someone who loves being around them, I am grateful for any experiences I get to do so 😊 I am a digital freelancer so all my work is done on my laptop. This allows me to determine my own schedule and provides flexibility in not only the hours I work but where in the world I put those hours in (around 3-4 hours daily, 4 days a week) I've always taken pride in leaving a housesit with the place looking exactly the same as you left it (if not better) and providing the animals with such a positive experience that when given the opportunity to watch them again, they are ecstatic to see me 😊
About: I’ve always loved cats and feel very comfortable caring for them. I’m patient, gentle, responsible, and attentive to each cat’s personality and needs. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, loved, well-fed, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to play with them, give them attention, and keep you updated with photos. I only work for about four hours in the evenings on Fridays and Saturdays. The rest of the week, I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them lots of attention, care, and company. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules and daily routines. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, and I’ll keep you updated with photos while you’re away.
“Juliana was nothing short of amazing! She took such wonderful care of our cats, giving them so much love and attention while we were away. It was such a relief knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. We came home to happy, well cared for kitties! She gave all the pets!! and that means everything. Highly recommend Juliana to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter! Will 100% rebook.”
About: I started dog sitting as early as 15 years old with my mom’s clients. As she was a house keeper and I would dog sit/walk/play with the dogs and it became my summer job to get money and experience for myself. I love all dogs and animals but I am a true dog lover! I have my own two dogs. My first ever dog I rescued at 4 years old and he lived up to 20 years old! I now have two dogs one is a recent rescue chicharito who is a chihuahua mix and I 1 1/2 years old and my terrier mix who is 9 years old and they are both thriving! I take care of dogs and animals as if they are my own. I always take the holistic approach with animals and meet them half way as I know each of our loving furry members have their own personalities 😊. I would love to play, love, and care for your furry friends and make sure they get the activities they need and exercise while parents are out running errands, working or just enjoying life! Looking forward to caring for your loved ones! If there are any details I would need to know about your furry friend let me know so I can best support you! I am currently working a part time job that is pretty flexible! I can come by and take care of your loving friend- go on walks, play, exercise, prepare enrichment activities you have at home if any, feed your loving friend and water! Most importantly making sure your loving friend feeds safe and cozy! I currently am not offering pet care in my own home. I can offer pet sitting at your own home if that is more convenient. (:
“Emily came over to check in on our 3 cats, feed and play while we were away this weekend and did a great job. She was very friendly and accommodating when we met to discuss the "babysitting" and go over everything. Will definitely book with her again. Thanks!”
“We have never left Pete and Molly before and we were a little nervous. Thank goodness for Lila!! She was available last minute, checked in every visit and cared for them like we would. Lila is a very warm, friendly and personable young lady! It’s no wonder dogs love her!! I would recommend her to anyone who loves their animals like we do and wants to give them the best care :)”
About: I am a caring, attentive, and reliable pet caregiver with 10 years of professional experience. I have worked primarily with dogs, though I also have some experience with cats, small mammals, and birds. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring them lots of attention, affection, and love. I have experience working with dogs of many different sizes, breeds, and ages. I genuinely love and enjoy taking care of animals and hope you will choose me as your next pet caregiver! I am fortunate to have a very flexible part-time work schedule, which allows me to be available for all of your pet care needs! BOARDING: I live in a 2nd-floor apartment in a quiet, peaceful, and walkable community. I accept boardings for one family at a time, ensuring a calm and peaceful experience for all. Due to the quiet nature of my apartment community, I prefer to board calm-tempered dogs to avoid noise complaints from excessive and/or loud barking. I can board 2 dogs from the same family at a time, though for large dogs I limit to 1 due to the size of my apartment. I have a large and safe, pet-proofed balcony where the dogs are welcome to lounge and explore. I also welcome pets on my couch and bed to ensure maximum comfort. While boarding dogs, I make sure to be present all or majority of the time. HOUSE SITTING: For pet sitting in your home, I follow all instructions provided to me while staying respectful of your space and privacy. I always clean up after myself and leave the space cleaner than I found it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Hills
We had an excellent experience and couldn’t have been happier with the care our dog received. She was extremely reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time we were away. She kept us updated after every visit with great photos and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She also frequently spent extra time with her beyond the scheduled visit, making sure she had plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. It was very clear that she wasn’t simply checking off a visit—she genuinely cared about her and wanted her to be happy and comfortable. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and everything had gone perfectly. It is a huge relief to find someone you can completely trust with your dog and your home while you’re away. We would absolutely book her again and recommend her without hesitation. Five stars!
Danielle us the best! Very caring and very thorough with her check ins. She is very caring with my fur baby. She goes above and beyond. She is definitely my go to from here on out. I've used Roverr alot and She has been the best ever!!! Thank you again Danielle. 🥰
I was very hesitant about leaving my cats behind during our cross-country family move, but taking them with us would have added even more stress to an already complicated situation. After signing up on Rover, I chose Sabrina because she was conveniently located nearby, had excellent reviews as a star sitter, and offered very reasonable rates. She responded to my messages quickly and was always happy to answer my questions. The week flew by, and thanks to Sabrina, I never had to worry about my kitties. She visited them twice a day, played with them, made sure they had fresh food and water, and gave them their medicine. She even earned the trust of my younger female cat, who is usually very skittish and easily frightened. I highly recommend Sabrina! She clearly loves animals, has a wonderful personality, and is someone you can truly rely on.
We found Christine on Rover and were immediately impressed by her glowing reviews and experience. Since our senior dog can no longer handle the stress of a kennel, we booked Christine for 2 drop-ins a day over a long weekend. She was incredibly professional, arriving for a meet-and-greet to learn our home layout and expectations. Throughout the stay, she was perfectly on time, spent a full 30 minutes playing with our pups during each visit, and ensured they were well-fed. The frequent photo updates were a huge relief for our family. Christine has truly earned our trust and our dogs' hearts—we will definitely be booking her again!
Aubrey is amazing. She took such wonderful care of my senior kitty and took the stress away from being away from her. Sending pics and videos, making sure to address my particular concerns over kitty’s comfort. She also made sure to tidy up any mess my kitty made during the week which was a big help. Thank you for taking such great care of everything during the holiday, Aubrey!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Hills is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $44 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 15,947 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Hills. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
