Cat Sitting Topanga

About: Hello, animal parents! I’m Taylor, a 36-year-old long-time professional animal and human caretaker with great references. I’m available for drop-in visits for cats, dogs, horses and other hoofed loved ones, as well as reptiles, amphibians, fish, and any other little critters. Need me to visit your tarantula? I would love nothing more. :) My partner and I have two cats, three dogs, and pond fish. I have many years of experience with senior cats and pups and administering medications. Happy to do some heavy lifting for pets with mobility challenges (up to 80lbs). I’m big on respecting animals’ boundaries, and know all the body language signs for dogs, cats, and horses. Bonus: my own beloved fur children and I have also completed many positive reinforcement dog training courses (so I won’t undo the progress you’ve made with your puppy)! Double bonus: natural horsemanship classes. In my spare time, I like to read, hike, play games, spend time with my human and animal loved ones, and volunteer at the LGBT Center. By day, I am a caregiver (to humans), a pet-sitter, and a social work student. I’m available for early morning and evening animal visits during the week, and morning, midday, and evening visits on the weekends. At this time, I am only available for drop-in visits. I am careful, respectful, and kind. I treat the animals temporarily under my care as I would want someone to care for my own fur children. By hiring me, you’re getting the benefit of the experience of an eldest child of five who cared for her siblings (and pets) in her teens, then dogs, cats, and horses professionally in her early 20s, and elderly patients (and so many more animals) in her 30s.

“Sarah was wonderful. She was patient with me and my roommate while we tried to figure out our vacation schedule, and she even came over for a meet and greet with my cat BEFORE we agreed to hire her, just to make sure he took to her. My roommate and I have 3 cats together, and they had only recently been introduced so there were a lot of interesting dynamics Sarah was walking into. She did a great job with them.”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I got my first pet at age 4 and have been taking care of cats and dogs ever since. I currently own 3 cats that are keeping me on my toes. I have experience administering medications when took care of my diabetic cat. I'm currently unemployed, so you have my undivided attention. I'm hoping to make pet sitting my next full time gig. I currently have full availability I currently live in a 2 BR apartment in a gated community, with a dedicated dog walking area. I will gladly let your dogs out in your yard, if that's what you're comfortable with or walk your doggo in his/her favorite stomping grounds. I'm totally flexible.

“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.”

“I booked Ana to take care of my cat while I was away and it was my first time using Rover. She was very communicative, the meet and greet went well, and my cat totally trusted her off the bat. She paid close attention to detail while following my pets regular routine and my pet felt right at home while I was away. Would definitely trust Ana to take care of my cat again, she was great!”

“Helen was truly excellent. My cat immediately liked her and I know he enjoyed his time with her because she sent me so many (welcome) videos and pictures. She updated me not only whenever she was coming and going but when and how much he was eating so there is no doubt in my mind that she spent a great deal of time at my house with my cat despite having her own family, and that she spent lots of loving time with my fur baby. She did the laundry, replaced the tissues and detergent, which I didn’t even request, and she left the place cleaner than when I left. I feel much better planning trips knowing that I now have more than one dependable pet sitter. Highly recommend.”

About: I’m the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their dog! 😊 I’ve been taking care of my friends’ dogs regularly for years — sometimes for a day, sometimes for longer stays — and I genuinely love having them around. That’s actually what made me finally decide to join Rover. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, following your dog’s usual routine, and of course giving them lots of attention and affection. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to personally care for every pet throughout the day. I have a 1.7 year-old daughter who absolutely loves animals and has separate childcare, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. I am the only person responsible for pet care during all Rover bookings. My home is located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. I also have a private, fully fenced backyard with a high fence, providing a safe and comfortable space for outdoor playtime. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, love, and care. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, happy and truly at home! 🐾❤️ I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to personally care for pets throughout the day.

About: I have taken care of many dogs. I used to have a Samoyed and a multipoo myself for many years previously. I love how affectionate dogs are. I am great at sticking to feeding schedules. I enjoy petting and playing with a dog kindly and gently. I have a big backyard that is fenced where a dog can run and play safely. I work part time, not everyday, and just a few hours a day, so I am a great companion to your sweet lovable pet. I am gentle, caring, loving, warm hearted. I am very empathetic to pets because they are loving beings. I will often take them for bathroom breaks, pet, and feed on schedule. I want the pet to feel safe and happy and the owner to relax and enjoy their time away. I have a fenced backyard. I accept cats or small dogs only. The pet will have space to run and play. I am gentle with my voice and my affection to the pet. I have a big heart and am also good at keeping a feeding schedule. I am warm hearted and responsible.

“Wow! I am so grateful we found Birutė on Rover. She’s an absolutely amazing sitter - best we’ve ever had for our cat. So professional, responsive, observant and caring. 100/10, thank you so much Birutė!”

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I’ve been caring for pets for years, building a network of happy clients through neighbors, family friends, and word of mouth. Dogs, cats, puppies, seniors — I’ve done it all, from quick drop-ins to six-month house sits. Whatever your pet needs, I show up with a full heart, active energy and a real routine that keeps them happy and at ease. I pride myself on being someone pet owners can truly trust. During the LA wildfires, I was house sitting near the evacuation zones when I made the call to safely pack up my client’s pets and their most precious belongings and get out, keeping everyone and everything safe until they could come home. That’s the kind of sitter I am: calm, present, and completely committed. I genuinely love this work. Waking up with a dog to walk, taking them out on hikes through the hills, spending the day giving them cuddles and all the attention they deserve, it truly fills my cup. Your pets won’t just be cared for, they’ll be showered with joy and mirth! Based in the Woodland Hills and Topanga area, available for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and daycare. Pet care is woven into my daily life naturally and genuinely. I keep an open, flexible schedule which means I’m truly present with the animals in my care — mornings start with walks and feeding routines, days are filled with playtime, cuddles and attention, and evenings wind down with the kind of calm, settled care that helps pets feel secure. I don’t rush off to a nine to five. I’m here, and your pet feels that. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort are everything to me. In my own space, I live with my cat Milo and keep a calm, cozy, pet friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and explore. A partner is often home as well, so your pet always has loving company and is never left alone for long. The Topanga and Woodland Hills area means we’re surrounded by nature with beautiful trails and open space right at our doorstep for walks, hikes and outdoor adventures. In your home I adapt completely to your pet’s existing routine, environment and needs. I learn their habits, respect their space and follow your instructions carefully. I treat every home I work in as if it were my own - with attentiveness, care and a deep sense of responsibility. Your pet, your home and everything you love will be looked after with the same devotion I bring to my own.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

About: I love animals of all kinds, shapes and sizes. I have many years of (unpaid) experience with animals of all types. I currently have my 17 year old senior kitty with diabetes which means I am also able to administer injections if needed for your pet! I have lots of love to give to all pets and can’t wait to meet you! Thank you! I’m currently working part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and after 5 PM on weekdays, with time for walks, feeding, playtime, etc! I live in a pet-friendly condo with plenty of grassy areas nearby for walks and potty breaks. I provide a clean, comfortable, and supervised environment and always follow each pet owner’s specific care instructions and routine.

About: Years with my own dog taught me that dogs have a few universal talents: finding the muddiest puddle, convincing you they haven’t eaten in days five minutes after dinner, and making every walk an adventure. Volunteering at a shelter reminded me that behind all those funny moments is something even more important—every dog wants to feel safe, understood, and loved. I’ve become pretty fluent in “dog language.” 🐶 That’s why I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and earn their trust. I think it’s the best part of spending time with them. My skills: * Understanding dog behavior and body language * Building trust with dogs of different personalities * Patient and gentle handling * Caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments * Following detailed care instructions * Providing companionship, play, and attention My schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and giving each dog the individual attention they need. I understand that dogs feel happiest and most comfortable when they can keep their familiar routine. I do my best to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment that feels as close to home as possible while their family is away. I work full-time, seven days a week, so I’m available to provide reliable and consistent care for your pets whenever you need it. Before caring for your pet, I like to learn the little details that make them unique — their favorite activities, walking habits, how they communicate, and what helps them feel comfortable. During each walk, visit, or house sitting stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing how your furry friend is doing. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with someone they trust!

About: Dedicated pet professional with 6 years of experience. Highly skilled in safe medication administration, advanced canine care, and handling dogs of all sizes and breeds. Expert knowledge of brachycephalic health needs, backed by a decade of personal ownership of a Pug. Reliable, attentive, and trusted through years of diverse pet-sitting and walking experience. Working remotely from a fenced house allows me to balance professional focus with a peaceful home environment, enjoying the private outdoor space throughout the workday. Living in a fenced house has made me deeply vigilant. I always double-check gates, secure latches immediately, and watch for sliding doors to ensure zero escape risks.

“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”

About: I have had cats since I was a young girl and own two 10 year old cats now, adopted from rescue shelters. I love all animals! I will ensure they have clean food and water, play and cuddle time, clean litter, and lots of love. I have five star ratings because I am caring, reliable, respectful, clean and communicative and truly love cats and the people I meet. I work remotely and have flexible hours so can pop in for a day time visit or stay overnights when I’m not caring for my daughter (have shared custody so a good amount of time on my own and enjoy traveling to care for cats too). I am attentive and communicative and will ask for your preferences but care for cats in their home and comfort zone. I am very familiar with cats and comfortable around animals.

“Marevie leaves the most detailed and sweet notes after each visit. I feel completely at ease with having her take care of my cat while I am away.”

Aurora O.

“10/10!! If I could leave more stars I would!! Maizy went above and beyond for my sweet boy and made sure he was loved and cared for while I was away:) She truly cares about animals and always goes the extra mile to make sure even senior babies or those with anxiety are at ease. Plus she’s the sweetest!! Book with her! you won’t be disappointed!!”

Lexi L.

“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs + cats and I’m a natural with small and midsize pups—tailored play, cuddles, and calm, grounded energy to match their vibe. As an active Ocean Park walker, I keep them exercised, happy, and stress‑free, whether it’s a couch‑potato lap dog or a spirited explorer. I also care for cats and birds, with experience giving meds, keeping litter boxes and habitats clean, and leaving homes immaculate. With vet‑tech experience and a HIPAA‑level respect for privacy and routines, I follow your instructions carefully so every pet feels safe, seen, and well‑cared for. Woof! I generally work from home, so I’m around to walk dogs almost anytime of the day. I am fairly open in the mornings and late afternoons and early evenings. My home is a one bedroom apartment with a pretty big living room so it’s very suitable for cats or a medium size to small dog. animals will not share this place as I only have one animal each time.
