“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.”
About: Please note I am not in Calabasas I can’t get Rover to update- I am in the Culver City area! I’ve stepped down from my corporate role and am now changing it up to work with animals. My husband and I are parents to: 4 cats, 6 budgies, and 2 snakes. My senior dogs have since passed but we had a maltipoo and a shi-poo. I miss them terribly! I want to spend time caring for your babies while you are on vacation or just busy with life. I prefer seniors and smaller dogs. I have experience with basic veterinary care, horses, and some fish, birds and reptiles. I am also studying animal Reiki and equine bodywork. I am great at administering meds to dogs and cats, including insulin, fluid and pills. I’m willing to do overnight for the right clients. Thanks! Jody I can fill in in short notice such as feeding or turning on lights. I can make early or late night visits. I prefer daylight walks but will consider evenings by neighborhood. I never use my headphones or talk on the phone when I walk, as I prefer to stay alert at all times and focused on the task. I am unable to care for pets in my own home and prefer not to visit dog parks. I will consider transportation from groomer or doggie day care for the right client. I will feed fish, snakes and reptiles depending on the species. I am able to change birds food and water.
“Mariia was absolutely wonderful! 🙌She took amazing care of my cat, Appa😺, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I felt completely at ease knowing Appa was in such good hands. I would happily trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter! 🤗”
“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!”
“Katy was a wonderful houseguest. She sent us regular updates on our pup and left our home neater than it was before we left. We will absolutely use her again for our next trip.”
“There are too many good things to say about Adeline and the care she provided to our home — and most importantly, our animals! She communicates through text and picture, which provided such great comfort during our time away. It was clear when we got home that our animals were loved on and well cared for.. it seemed like we were never gone. Oh! And she left the house in amazing condition. I highly recommend Adeline.”
“What an angel . This girl was so great with my pup. I found the person i will be using from now on! My dog absolutely loved her. Im always uneasy leaving him and when on vacay always worrying. However after the 2nd day i knew he would be just fine. Please book her if you want some relief while on vacation”

About: I've been around animals for 23 years, so at this point, I think I speak fluent dog and a little bit of cat. 😂 I love animals, big ones, small ones, the crazy ones, and even the ones who act like they pay the mortgage. Every pet got their own personality, and I respect that! Whether your dog needs a good walk, your cat needs somebody to ignore, or your furry little boss needs some company while you're gone, I got you covered. I'm responsible, patient, and I take pet care seriously. Feeding schedules, walks, playtime, belly rubs, and photo updates? No problemo! I treat every pet like family. Your dog might come home with a new best friend, and your cat might actually acknowledge my existence. No promises on that last one. 😂 At the end of the day, happy pets and happy owners. That's the American dream, baby! 🇺🇸🐾 My schedule is pretty flexible right now, which means more time for your furry little boss! 😂 Whether your dog needs a morning walk, afternoon adventure, or somebody to keep them company while you're out making your dreams happen, I got you! I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting depending on my calendar. I like keeping a consistent routine because pets got schedules too, and trust me, they know when dinner is late! 🐾 Just let me know what your pet needs, and we'll make it work! Your pet's safety is my number one priority. Fun is important, but safety comes first, always! When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space, follow your instructions, and make sure your furry family member stays comfortable and safe. Doors locked? Check. Fresh water? Check. Food on time? Check. Dog trying to convince me he hasn't eaten in three days? Nice try, buddy! 😂 I pay attention to each pet's personality, energy level, and routine. I always use secure leashes during walks, keep an eye on their surroundings, and never introduce them to unfamiliar animals without permission. I also provide photo updates because I know you wanna see what your little troublemaker is doing! Your home gets respect, your pet gets love, and everybody stays happy. That's how we do business! 🐾
“Jen helped us with our pups at our house overnight and with a last minute drop in visit while we were out of town. She is reliable, responsible, and quick to respond! Thank you so much!”
“Liana did such a great job being a sitter for my dog! Her calm demeanor and warmth made my dog comfortable with her instantly and feel safe with her in his space. She did a great job asking me questions and making sure she was informed on how best to care for my dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets Friends and family pets for years, I love dogs and have a deep bond with all my animals I work part time and mostly from home, so I am always available to take care of dogs. Lots of walks and cuddles here! Also enjoy just relaxing with them I have a fenced yard, know the dog parks in the area and all the other dog safe parks in my area area that I walk to
“Stephanie was great with our pups! She was super warm and attentive to them, and we came back to a clean home and happy content babies! Our puppy had to go potty every hour or so, and she followed our instructions and helped us put her down for her naps as well. Steph also gave us photos and updates throughout,which were greatly appreciated. Overall she did a great job, and even left soothing music playing when we came in!”
About: In my household, we have always had a dog a part of our family. Growing up with dogs ignited my love for animals and being surrounded by pets. My most recent (now senior) dog has gone through surgeries, cancer treatments (with medication), and strict dieting so I am familiar with having to keep pets to a strict schedule and habits — while also giving them the best life possible with many walks and plenty of pets. I work a 9-5 job during the week with Fridays working remotely. I go in office usually from 9am -3pm and work the rest of the day remote but is subject to change. I am happy to accommodate and make it work for what you need and what works best for your pet(s)! I can also tomato by before and/or after work & dog/cat sit over weekdays and weekends. More can be discussed when booking, happy to answer any questions! I love and care for pets as if they are my own. In an initial visit meeting your animal(s), I take thorough notes to what your pet needs, what their usual schedule looks like, and any other important information regarding care. Making sure your pet is safe, healthy, and happy is first priority.
“Nora was incredible when she stayed with our little dog, Fennec, for two weeks. She was so patient and understanding of his separation anxiety and really went above and beyond to build trust with him and help him feel comfortable. She also calmed our anxieties as nervous pet parents who felt guilty about leaving our baby behind! She sent us daily updates (often more than once per day), and it quickly became clear that our little guy loved being with her. She also took great care of our home — pretty sure she left it cleaner than we did! Can’t recommend Nora enough. We feel so so so lucky to have found her!!!”
“2nd time that Sarah and Karl have house sat our dogs while we were traveling and I can’t say enough about them. True professionals, super flexible and accommodating where possible, very respectful of the apartment, great communicators, and most importantly - our dogs love them. They’re truly kind and caring and we are lucky to have found them here.”
“Keevon did a amazing job caring for our three dogs. He gave us updates on daily basis through pictures and videos. He was receptive to feedback and updates on our dogs needs. He kept us up-to-date on one of our dogs that was not eating his meals the first couple of days and worked well with finding alternatives to getting him to eat while we were away. He would join the dogs outside and interacted with them. He gave them cuddles and love. We will definitely rehire him in the future.”
“Celeste took great, loving care of my dog Bella and my cat Kitty. They both absolutely loved her, as I could tell from the many wonderful pictures she sent. She was very conscientious about walking and feeding Bella and spending a lot of time with both Bella and Kitty day and night.”
“Kourosh is ery responsive and easy to work with. It was great having someone who is willing to stay overnight with my disabled, senior dog at a reasonable rate. It gets very expensive given I cannot board her so I really appreciate the peace of mind of having somebody in my home I can trust and who has patience with older dogs.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Topanga is $65

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Topanga is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $117 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Topanga. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
