“Janae did a great job with our pups. She was communicative and easy to work with. We received numerous pictures and updates throughout the day. I would highly recommend her in the future.”
“Joanna is the best! She stayed with our dog for just under a week in our home and took the best care of her. Our pup has pretty severe separation anxiety and requires medication and Joanna made sure she was comfortable and cared for. Sent lots of pictures and daily updates. When we got home, our house was spotless and just as we left it. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“This was a repeat booking for Ross and our dogs. We are always able to enjoy a vacation whether it’s short or long because we know our dogs are in good hands. Great communication and always leaves the house how we left it!”
About: My number one priority is keeping your animals happy and safe, and my number two priority is making you feel comfortable knowing that your babies are in good hands. I have grown up with animals and have years of experience dog-walking and pet-sitting for all kinds of creatures, from dogs and cats to rabbits and reptiles and beyond. I have experience administrating pills to dogs and cats. I also have experience with dogs that have seizures or epilepsy. I work part-time at the library so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. Otherwise, my personal work is remote and flexible. I want to know and respect the rules of your house, whether the dog isn’t allowed on the couch, or the cat is restricted to a certain amount of treats, and so on.
“Christian is infinitely empathetic, caring, and attentive to your fur babies! He also is extremely conscientious about leaving your home as clean and orderly as he found it- or more so. He brings in your mail, takes out your trash and recycling, brings it back in. He communicates regularly and provides photos that illustrate how your pets are doing when you are away! He washed the bedding on the bed he used while doing an overnight and remade the bed! I can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Jared recently watched our two pups and cat and he did such a great job! Our request was very late notice but he was able to accommodate and we were so grateful. Our house was left exactly as we left it too! He also sent us pictures of our animals three times a day. It was so good to see how everyone was taking a liking to him. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Sophie watched our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were out of town, and was phenomenal! She was very communicative, and our animals loved her! It alleviates the stress of leaving when you know the animals and house are being taken care of. We would (and will) absolutely use her again!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She sat my girl for the whole week and she always kept me updated and took photos ! Her communication is the best ! Will definetly use her again !!”
“We love having Tabitha watch our elderly pup. She is fantastic with her and even more importantly, she tolerates our little set in her ways “Grandma”! Tabitha is the best!”
“Katie was incredible. She came for not one but two meet and greets before we went away on our vacation to meet our anxious 4 year old, and new 12 week old puppy. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. Left the house beautifully clean. We would 100% recommend Katie and will use her again if she's available.”
“Ashley is the best! She watched my 3 dogs and cat for a week and they couldn’t have been happier. She arrived on time everyday, fed, played and even cleaned up an accident one of my pups had. I’m so thankful for her services and will be using again. If you want someone to treat your pups like you would, book Ashley!”
About: My experience in caring for furry companions has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. Whether it's a playful pup or a curious cat, I approach each pet with love and compassion. My daily routine involves ensuring they receive regular meals, fresh water, and engaging in interactive playtime to keep them happy and stimulated. I am attentive to their specific needs, administering any necessary medications and following special dietary requirements. I will maintain a clean and comfortable environment, making sure to keep their living space tidy. I also provide them with emotional support, showering them with affection and creating a sense of security during their owners' absence. In addition, older animals have a very special place in my heart. We found great sitters on Rover before when we had our old dog. The help and support those great people offered us extend way beyond just pet/house sitting. Because of that reason, I would like to provide the same care and support we had experienced to others. I'm currently working part-time, so my time is very flexible. I will be able to spend time with your pet at the comfort of their own environment. I will leave the client's place from time to time through out the day but I will be able to stay there most of my time. Since we have a cat and Stevie is very territorial in our house. I prefer pet sitting at my client's place rather than pet sitting at our own home at this time. I will follow the home and care instructions provided and will keep the house nice and clean. Make your fur baby/babies happy and comfortable while you are away is my ultimate goal.
“Allison is a dog whisperer! She loves dogs and did an amazing job taking care of my doggo. I would recommend her to anyone. She sent me pictures every day so I felt she was in good hands. We also FaceTimed so I could see and talk to Cookie. Reliable and consistent too.”
“Haley did a wonderful job caring for my dog! She was professional, dependable, and attentive. I felt confident that my dog was in great hands and would gladly book with Haley again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Woodland Hills is $50

Janae is incredible! We travel on a whim and Janae was incredibly flexible. I didn't have to worry about our doggos being well taken care of. She sent pictures and updates that set my mind at ease- even in a new town with high maintenance dogs- lol! For reference we have a 120 lbs sheepadoodle and an 85 lbs goldendoodle rescue (resource guarder - hates other dogs). Our HOA has a lot of rules and Janae was meticulous about following the rules and took great care of our home on overnights. We definitely recommend!
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment we left, we knew our dogs were in exceptional hands. She was incredibly attentive to each dog’s individual needs, kept them active with plenty of walks, playtime, and enrichment. Communication was outstanding throughout our time away. We received frequent updates, photos, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind and let us see just how happy and comfortable our dogs were. It was obvious she genuinely cared about them. Her professionalism, kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart! We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their pets.
Elizabeth stayed with our beagle Lilly for 2 nights and a full day. This was the first time we have left her. She is a rescue of having her 3 months. Elizabeth was very calm and attentive to Lilly. We felt confident leaving Lilly in her care. She will be back again soon. Lilly will be looking forward to seeing her again
Grace was an excellent pet sitter for our three cats. She was professional, responsible, and communicated clearly throughout our time away. We always knew how our cats were doing, which gave us peace of mind. She followed instructions carefully, was dependable, and treated our cats with genuine care. We would not hesitate to trust Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter

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 Woodland Hills 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 Woodland Hills 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Woodland Hills 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
