“Mariel was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog and home while we were away, sending plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates that kept us totally at ease. Our pup looked so happy and well loved in every photo, and we came home to a spotless house. We couldn’t recommend Mariel more highly, she’s reliable, kind, and clearly adores animals!”
“Sid was absolutely fantastic! He stepped in on short notice to watch our seven-month-old Aussie Shepherd puppy and our four-year-old Aussie Shepherd at our home when we had to leave town for a few days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly gentle and patient — especially with our new puppy. He took his time, allowed him to warm up to him at his own pace, and made sure both dogs felt comfortable and secure. You can tell he genuinely cares about animals and understands their individual personalities and needs. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. Highly recommend Sid — we would absolutely book him again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and sizes, including my own two dogs, a senior and a young mutt. I’ve been trusted by family members to look after their pet’s making sure they eat well, get enough exercise and playtime. I love spending time outdoors especially with my dogs. I know the importance of having your pup out in the world not just for potty breaks but for mental stimulation as well so they can go home relax. I have a fairly flexible schedule. Early mornings, late nights, last minute bookings, weekdays or weekends with your pet will not disrupt my current routine. I understand that every dog has their own special needs to make them feel comfortable I always prioritize their safety for that. Let me know if there’s any special care your dog needs!
“Tyler was excellent with our girl. Bella gets sad when we are not home but Tyler's patients and compassion with her helped her through it. I especially loved the updates with pictures; this help me relax knowing she was ok and in good hands. We will be using her again for sure.”
“JoAnne was amazing. She took my dogs out on multiple walks, let them cuddle up with her while we were gone and we came home to happy dogs! Means so much to have someone we trust with our fur babies when we have to leave town for the weekend! Thank you again so much! Will definitely be booking again.”
“When I say, Haylee is amazing. I truly mean it. She was so informative and considerate of letting me know what was going on while she was cat sitting. And I love that she sent me pictures during the stay. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Jackie took great care of our two goldens over the weekend, walking them several times a day and cuddling them at night. This was our first experience with Jackie, and she promptly scheduled a meet and greet, asked all of the right questions, and is generally a lovely, professional, and kind person. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and needs. My experience includes cats, puppies, large and extra large dog breeds, crate training, senior pets, administering medication, and supporting dogs through serious health challenges, including cancer. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and receiving attentive care while you’re away. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. I own my own home in the CA and understand the importance of having someone trustworthy care for both your pets and your property. I will treat your home with the same respect and attention that I give my own. Whether your pets need active playtime, medication management, extra patience, or simply a loving presence, I’m committed to providing reliable care and giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve used Rover many times for my own past pets and have always had a great experience with sitters. As a business owner in LA, I work remotely and have a flexible daily schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks and care throughout the day. Pet sitting fits naturally into my life and gives me the joy of having animals around while I am not yet ready to adopt again. I own my home so I understand how important it is to care for your pets in your home. I always requested sitters to stay in my home with my pets as I understand how important is it for them to feel safe and comfortable while your away.
“Judy was exactly the sitter we needed to take care of our rescue dog for our first trip away from home since adopting him. He's a large dog with good house manners but still in need of some training, so we were looking for a sitter who could take charge with confidence, experience, and loving care. Judy has a background in dog behavior and got on well with Ben from the first meeting; we felt it was a great match and it enabled us to take our trip with the confidence that he was in good hands. Judy has a warm approach and is able to take control of situations with positive direction and encouragement, and she was playful and loving with Ben. She took great care of our home, gave us daily updates (including photos), and went above and beyond to look after our pup. We're so happy we found her and highly recommend. Thanks so much, Judy!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, including my own, and I truly understand how important it is to provide them with love, attention, and dependable care. I’m a trustworthy, responsible, and patient dog sitter who treats every dog as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I always make sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently doing online real estate classes while living at home taking care of my own dogs and have plenty of time to help out other animal lovers. My little dogs have their playpens and crates for when they need and also have the stairs blocked off as they can’t use the stairs by themselves for safety reasons. My big dog lives inside most of the time with access to his doggy door at the garage.
“Jessica did an excellent job of taking care of our home and l, most importantly, our dog while we were away for a week. She was extremely communicative and paid attention to our older dog’s needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
About: For the better part of the past decade I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends and family. Ranging from overnight stays to month long care for both little and large breeds. Currently in between jobs so I’m home during the day so our guests will always have someone to supervise and play. Also have two little dogs to play with Our back yard is quite large so the new and returning friends will have plenty of space to roam around and play. The back door is always open to allow them to come and go from the house or outside. The feeding schedule is based on the preference of the owner and if allowed treats they can get them throughout the visit. Always open to playtime and lovings. Day trips to the park or beach are also a fun time if they like to socialize.
“We booked Chieko last minute again and she always accommodates. We love that Chieko stays with our pup for the duration of the booking. Our pup gets very anxious when left alone. Thank you Chieko!”
“Mia was lovely to work with and took excellent care of our girl! It helped a lot knowing she was in good hands. I got lots of updates on playtime and meals and walks, which was wonderful.”
“Joanne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Mezzi, and truly went above and beyond for us. Mezzi can be a very anxious dog, and the week before our wedding, our apartment was being fumigated, which made an already stressful week even more complicated. Joanne was incredibly understanding and flexible — she stayed at our Airbnb with Mezzi for a night and then brought her safely back to our apartment once the fumigation was finished. Throughout everything, Joanne was so responsive and sent us tons of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was patient and caring with Mezzi and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. She also left our apartment in perfect shape for us to come home to, which we really appreciated after such a crazy week. We are so grateful we found Joanne and would absolutely trust her with Mezzi again.”

Victoria took great care of Remi while we were out of town for 3 nights. He’s old and requires medication and she handled it all very well. She also handled my neediness very well as I get super nervous leaving Remi. I plan on having victoria stay with Remi again in the future and recommend her!!
Sid took amazingly good care of our two needy pups while we vacationed in Europe for an entire month. He sent us pictures daily (twice daily actually) and kept us well informed on the dog’s behaviors as well as keeping the house clean and tidy. Second time we’ve used Sid and it won’t be the last.
We just booked with Brooke, who happened to be our very first pet sitter we’ve ever hired - and it’s been 10 years with our pup 😂😅 we had an incredible experience with Brooke! She helped keep our senior dog company & watched our home while we left town on a VERY last minute trip. I booked her within 24 hours of leaving for the trip and she responded instantly and followed all the directions for our senior dog’s care, to a T. She kept our home clean & tidy, offered to do laundry?! And was a great house guest. We’re new to the area & don’t have friends or family close by… let alone someone we’d trust our senior dog with! Was so grateful to have found Brooke and no longer feel like we have nobody to turn to if an emergency arises again. Will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future!

Mezzi can be a very anxious dog, and the week before our wedding, our apartment was being fumigated, which made an already stressful week even more complicated.

She was patient and caring with Mezzi and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. She also left our apartment in perfect shape for us to come home to, which we really appreciated after such a crazy week. We are so grateful we found Joanne and would absolutely trust her with Mezzi again.
We feel so lucky to have found Morgan as a dog sitter! Our Lab is surprisingly not much of a snuggler, but she was cuddled up with Morgan from day one, which immediately put our minds at ease. Morgan was incredibly communicative, sent us lots of photos and updates, and handled our high energy (strong) Lab wonderfully. We also came home to a spotless house, including fresh, clean bedding, which was such a lovely treat after travelling. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking Morgan again!
Liz was very professional from start to finish! She was communicative and patient with our pup who can be timid and standoffish at times. Eventually, our dog warmed up due to Liz’s kind nature and by the end, Pippie was snuggled with her and didn’t want to leave her side. She helped her with medication administration, feedings, walks, and multiple potty breaks throughout the day. We would definitely invite Liz back if she wanted to sit for us again!
If I could give Alexa 10 stars I would! She was absolutely amazing and made me feel so at ease all weekend knowing my baby was in such good hands. She kept me updated with photos and went so above and beyond with cleaning - I came home to cleaner house than when I left! 1000% recommend, will definitely use her again. Thank you, Alexa!

The average cost of House Sitting in Hermosa Beach is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $122 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.

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 Hermosa Beach 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 Hermosa Beach 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 Hermosa Beach 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
