“Third time having Lila house sit for our dog and cat and we love her! She is trustworthy, kind, and timely. Always sends pictures of our animals and is quick to respond. We will 100% keep booking with Lila as our regular pet sitter!”
“I am so happy that I had Liana care for my dog Sparky. Sparky is a geriatric special needs dog that needs medication for heart disease 6 times a day. He also has degenerative disc disease so needs help going up steps and lifting him. Liana was tender and lovingly caring for Sparky, knew where he was all the time he was in her care. I highly recommend her without any reservations. I was totally at ease knowing Liana was cring for Sparky.”
“I knew my doggies were in good hands with Esther. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. She did a great job house sitting and followed all my instructions. My dogs seemed well cared for and happy when I got home. I especially appreciate the pictures Esther sent every day.”
“Jeremy is truly the best, he has watched our boys multiple times now and they can be a handful! Our pups are always in good spirits after hanging with him for a few days and our home is always very clean when we get back! He’s the best sitter we’ve had in the LA area 😊”
“My cat needs especial treatment due to his urinary issue. Leyla did a great job, feeding him on time with the exact instruction I asked her plus the medication. I recommend her to ALL cat's parents!”
“Jojo is amazing to work with. She was great with our puppy Moose and sent fun and frequent updates during our trip. Our three year old daughter looked forward to them every day. She also took excellent care of our house and went above and beyond leaving some fresh fruit for our young daughter to make sure she had breakfast when we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Maria was absolutely amazing with my dog, Dolly! I felt so happy and at ease knowing Dolly was in such loving and caring hands. Maria kept me updated with the sweetest photos and videos, followed all of my instructions, and made sure Dolly had plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and cuddles. It was so clear that Dolly was having the best time! You can truly see how much Maria loves dogs and how much care she puts into everything she does. Dolly absolutely adored her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would happily leave Dolly with Maria again and highly, highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Taylor did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs. The dogs were totally comfortable and my cat even liked her! My cat doesn't like anyone! I will definitely be hiring her again.”
“Antonia deserves 10 stars! She is lovely,kind, competent, and clearly loves animals. This was my first time having a petsitter in my home to watch my two little dogs and I must say I was a bit nervous. But Antonia washed away all of my doubts. For those of you who will be first-time petsitter users (and future users as well) Antonia is the way to go. Shes really a gift. Took excellent care of my pups and fed and walked them exactly as directed, gave them treats. She let them sleep in the bed with her. My pups fell in love with her. And she left my home immaculate! Also - she sent frequent videos of the pups so I could see how they were doing. I highly recommend Antonia to sit for your pets. They will be in great hands. I’m looking forward to working with her again in the near future. So glad I found her. Thank you, Antonia!!!”
“Taylor was really patient with Luna, and built a relationship with her overtime. We are so grateful to have found Taylor and recommend her to others. She is a welcome addition to the pack! 🐾”
“Emma was wonderful with Cosmo! She truly spoiled him and followed all of my instructions carefully. Since Cosmo is a senior, I really appreciated how gentle and patient she was with him, especially helping him up and down his ramp and taking him out in his stroller as instructed. She gave him lots of belly rubs, attention, and love, and it showed! When we got home, Cosmo was happy, relaxed, and showed no signs of stress, which gave me so much peace of mind. Emma also kept our house clean and sent daily updates with photos and videos, so we always knew how Cosmo was doing while we were away. I highly recommend Emma and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our little guy! ❤️”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs since I was 12 including relatives dogs, neighbors dogs, friends dogs, big dogs, little dogs, etc. I live a very active lifestyle and always love having a dog on runs, hikes, walks and everything in between. I am very disciplined and consistent with maintaining established training and am responsible and proactive in feeding and cleaning up after pets. I am so excited to be your next dog walker and/ dog sitter!! Flexible remote worker ready to meet your dog’s needs\! I go on frequent walks and always love bringing a four-legged friend along for company. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m active, dependable, and happy to adjust to your dog’s individual routine and personality—whether they love long walks and adventures or prefer a slower pace and lots of attention at home. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated while they’re with me. Your dog will be treated like a companion, not just another item on my schedule!

“Kim was an amazing house sitter. She was very communicative, took great care of the pets, and left my house squeaky clean. I could tell from the photos she sent that my pups were very comfortable and relaxed with her. 12/10!”
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 - Topanga
Fallon was absolutely amazing. One week before our one and a half week long trip our dog Hank had to have major emergency surgery. I was so torn about leaving, but my son was getting married and I could not miss it. I called Fallon and asked her how she felt about watching him after surgery and she said it was no problem. Not only did Fallon take great care of him, but she also took him to the vet to have his sutures removed. She was amazing all around and I hope she stays local for a long time so that we can always call on her. Hank made a new best friend and I know he misses her. not only did I trust her with my boy Hank, but I also was relieved that she stayed in our home. Thank you Fallon, I don’t know how I can repay you for watching him so that we could all go to the wedding.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Topanga on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 12,319 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Topanga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Topanga 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 Topanga 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 Topanga 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Topanga. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
