About: Leaving your fur babies behind is never easy, but I’m here to give you total peace of mind. As a registered veterinary technician with 14 years of experience caring for animals, I’m happily stepping out of the clinic and into your home! My goal is to bring that same high level of medical expertise and attentiveness into the comfortable, stress-free environment where your pets feel safest. Whether your sweet pup or kitty needs a strict medical routine, or just an extra dose of love and belly rubs while you’re away, I promise to treat them exactly like my own. Because I work from home, I have the complete freedom and flexibility to closely adhere to your pet's individual daily routine and schedule. Whether that’s with drop-in visits, walks and exercise, or pet sitting in your home. Every pet has their own perfect pace, and I'm happy to match it. From leisurely walks along the strand/beach to high-energy games of fetch in the park or yard, or just cozying up for some serious couch-potato cuddles, your pet gets exactly the kind of day they love most. My extensive veterinary background equips me to handle pets that require specialized attention. I am highly experienced in administering oral and injectable medications. I have been fully trained in recognizing subtle animal behaviors, and tailor my care to meet their individual needs and personalities. I always respect their boundaries, move to their level of comfort, and use only positive and gentle handling so they feel safe and loved. My own experience caring for my beloved cranky 14 year old pup, who suffers from epilepsy and immune mediated illness, has taught me to be extremely observant, read body language meticulously, and proactively adapt environments to avoid negative situations. I am passionate about welcoming animals of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and life stages—from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I have 2 senior pups and a 26-year-old tortoise of my own! My love for animals is a huge part of who I am, even outside the clinic. While living in Southeast Asia, I spent my time volunteering with local rescue organizations, where I personally loved on and cared for over 200 dogs and puppies. From nursing injured and paralyzed pups to keeping up with daily feeding, bathing, and playtime, I was fully hands-on. Above all, your pet’s safety and happiness are at the heart of everything I do. I want you to feel like you're leaving your baby with a trusted friend. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and deeply compassionate, and I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I promise to keep you connected with plenty of sweet updates and photos along the way. I truly love going the extra mile to ensure that you can relax completely, knowing your furry family member is feeling loved, comfortable, and completely pampered. Can't wait to meet your best friend! Working from home gives me the complete flexibility to seamlessly match your pets daily routine. I am available for whatever your pet needs, from walks and feedings to drop-in’s and full pet sitting. Because my own grumpy senior pup doesn’t do well with new friends, I don’t offer care in my home. However, I’d love to keep your pets routine perfectly consistent by caring for them in their own familiar space.

About: I grew up with lots of dogs, cats, horses etc in the English countryside! My dad was a farmer so I’ve always been around animals. I’m yet to get my own dog, but i’ve always looked after friends dogs when they go away or I’m always on hand if they need a walk in the daytime! I absolutely love dogs (and all animals), and cannot wait to get to know yours :) My work schedule is very flexible, I work part time and from home so my schedule can very much fit around looking after your dog! I live in a spacious 2 bed with a large balcony! My apartment is 1 minute walk from the strand where I can easily walk your furry friend whenever needed :)

About: Throughout my life I have owned cats and dogs. At the moment I only have one cat which is the least amount of pets I've had since I was around 5 years old, so I am craving more animals to care for! In terms of dog care, I work nights as a restaurants server so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, hikes, and play time with your pup! I live in an apartment with no yard so boarding dogs is limited to cat friendly smaller breeds and I will be most helpful for either drop in visits, or care in your home for your baby. Most of my experience is with larger breeds such as Bernese Mountain Dogs and more high maintenance breeds such as Huskies. However, I love to play and take care of my friends' French bulldogs and mini bully mix! Currently my family dog is a sweet yet strong personality Siberian Husky named Sasha who lives with my parents, and we love to go on hikes or long walks on the beach together whenever we can! My Husky Sasha is a very typical, sensitive husky who taught me a lot of patience and respecting of boundaries when it comes to dogs. Grooming her is a job only my brother and I seem to be able to take on adar requires a lot patience and listening to her cues and I can bring that patience and sensitivity to caring for your pet. Overall, I love caring for pets! It gives me so much joy and purpose and I would love to share that with your fur baby and be a part of their care village! Available upon scheduling 7 days a week, 7AM-4PM I currently only work nights so I am available upon scheduling during the day 7 days a week. I also have flexibility in these hours if later or earlier times may be needed. (Often when I hike I go early in the morning around 630, but that is flexible depending on your schedule). I love to run and hike, so i can bring your dog on some adventures that are sure to stretch their legs and provide some fun! My cat and I play at least 30 minutes a day and I love chasing him around the house to get his legs moving and his heart pumping!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed feeding schedules, and making sure pets receive the individualized care they need. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddle time, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule for pet care. I'm available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daycare. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistent care while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific requests you have. My goal is to make every pet feel like they're with family.

About: I've either had dogs or lived around dogs my whole life. I can win over even the most reluctant or nervous dogs, and before you know it, I'm one of their best friends. Nights and weekends are no issue! I am available on weekdays in the early mornings and late evenings, and on weekends essentially all day. Quick potty breaks, walks in the park, or petsitting, I can do about anything but boarding. I cannot board or sit dogs in my apartment. However, when sitting at other houses the most important thing to me is taking care of the needs of the dog. In between walks and potty breaks I'm more than happy to play with your dog and give them lots of scritches. If medication or special foods are needed, just let me know.

About: I grew up with animals my entire life and am very knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of dogs. I eventually want to own my own dog soon and this is a great practice for me to begin boarding and dog sitting. I have plenty of space in my 3 bedroom apartment to host more than 1 dog at a time. I have taken care of dogs for friends who have traveled for weeks at a time. I have a job that allows me to work from home when necessary and I also work at a dog-friendly office! I am very patient when getting to know a new animal and will do my best to make them feel at home and safe. Feel free to ask me anything! - Thank you :) I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I do morning afternoon and evening walks when I board a pet in my home. I have a flexible schedule, secured apartment building with enclosed courtyard and great neighborhood to walk in. Come by for a meet and greet anytime!

About: Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a marketing writer based in Manhattan Beach, originally from the Midwest, and I’ve had dogs and cats around me my entire life! I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and couch space to give yours. I’m a very experienced dog godmother and genuinely love spending time with pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from beach-walk extroverts to cozy little couch potatoes. Because I work from home full-time, I’m especially available during the day for walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and check-ins. We even live right next to Bruces Beach Park so we can run around and play! Your pet won’t just be “watched” they’ll get real attention, affection, and a calm, comfortable place to hang while you’re away. I’m also available for overnight boarding and would love to make your dog feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I work from home so I have fairly free availability most days of the week and your pet will have constant companionship! Please let me know for boarding requests :) I do not have pets so your pet will be the only one in my apartment, we are also young thirties with no children so the full focus will be on your pet!

Veronica is amazing! She's incredibly kind, caring, and patient. Most importantly, my pups have taken to her so quickly, which is rare because they both have a bit of stranger danger at first. My dog, Chance, has Addison's disease, and I love that Veronica has a vet tech background. She truly understands his medical needs, knows how to help keep his stress levels as low as possible, and can recognize the early signs of stress. It's such a comfort knowing she's fully capable of administering his eye drops and eye ointment, and can even assist me with his hormone injections. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Veronica. Knowing my pups will be in such knowledgeable, loving hands while I'm away gives me complete peace of mind. We already have a few more trips and drop-ins scheduled with her. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Mina was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for Luca. She was incredibly respectful of our home, always punctual, and kept us updated with plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Luca warmed up to her almost immediately, and it was obvious he felt comfortable and well cared for. We also have quite a few security measures for getting in and out of our house, and Mina was always thoughtful about letting us know everything was locked up and secure before she left. That attention to detail really meant a lot to us. We would happily book Mina again in a heartbeat if she’s available. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!

So much appreciation for Sophia who came in clutch for us and was just a lifesaver angel ! Our geriatric furbaby needs a gentle touch and kind caregiver (she can occasionally go on eating strikes when stressed)—Sophia was communicative and Keiki could tell she was safe and in good hands. She happily ate when Sophia spent time with her and we couldn’t be more grateful. Will surely be honored to work w/Sophia again <3

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - El Segundo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in El Segundo on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 19,607 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across El Segundo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a El Segundo stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in El Segundo. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
