“Liana was such a good sitter and friend to Karl!! Came in town for the weekend have never used Rover before so was a little bit nervous. We were also staying at an Airbnb. So it was a little bit of a complex situation seeing as how we came in town for an event on Sunday so we needed Liana all day but she made us trust rover and she was amazing with our corgi Karl, took him on a hike and showed him around town with our permission! Sent us pics and updates! We know he was well taken care of and had a great time exploring with Liana! Anytime we’re back in the area will def ask her again! Def recommend to any family or friend or any other paw parent!”
“Sam was truly amazing. We needed a sitter for our two dogs very last minute and she responded to my request almost immediately. She was able to do a meet and greet same day before we left the next day. She sent pictures daily with lots of wonderful updates. She cared for our dogs (and home) with so much love and thoughtfulness. We recommend Sam to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful, responsible dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Sid was great with our dog while we were out of town. He sent a ton of pics/updates and left our place in great condition. Would definitely book him to watch our dog again”
“Reina was great with all of our animals. She is knowledgeable and attentive, and made sure we got lots of pictures and updates when we were away. She stayed at our place and was tidy and left our guest bedroom spotless. Would definitely hire again.”
“This was our second long term dogsitting experience with Mariel. She did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She took our 100lb+ energetic dog on multiple daily walks, gave him lots of company and playtime. Mariel was proactively in touch with us daily, with lots of photo and video updates. She also left our house in great shape. I highly recommend Mariel for dogsitting, plan to work with her again in the future.”
“Andrea is a great companion for our dogs when we go out of town. She is a great communicator and lets us know how they're doing throughout our time away. She is also very respectful of our home and leaves it in excellent condition. Highly recommend her services!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. As a pet owner and experienced sitter, I’ve cared for dogs through walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting for friends and family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny teacup Yorkies to large Dobermans, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m also a future nurse, so caring for others is at the heart of who I am. My nursing education, combined with volunteer experience in hospitals, hospice, and as a caregiver, has taught me patience, compassion, reliability, and close attention to detail. I bring that same mindset to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll tailor my care to their needs and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands! Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I’m currently a nursing student with a flexible schedule and multiple days available throughout the week. I am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, consistent care. I’m available most mornings and after 5 PM on weekdays, with full day availability on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Wednesdays, I’m fully available after 12 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to work around your pet’s routine and provide walks, check-ins, playtime, feeding, and companionship while you’re away. When I care for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. I know pets feel most secure in their own environment, so I make sure to follow their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and what makes them feel comfortable. Some pets love attention and play, while others need more patience and space to warm up. I’m happy to provide whatever care they need, whether that’s walks, cuddles, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or simply keeping them company while their owners are away. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for!
“Sydney was absolutely incredible. She watched our dog, Cody, over Thanksgiving and we felt completely at ease with her staying in our home. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely knows what she’s doing with dogs. Her dog Riley stayed with Cody and the two of them became best friends—walking together, playing together, even napping side by side. Sydney handled their introduction perfectly and brought a doggie gate to make sure they were safely separated at first. Everything she did was thoughtful and professional. Cody is a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix and Riley is a Golden Retriever, and they got along beautifully thanks to Sydney’s calm, experienced approach. We’re so grateful for her care and will 100% use her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend Sydney!”
About: I’m a lifelong pet mama currently working from home, sharing my days with Bella, my spunky 16-year-old Chihuahua, and Cali, my fluffy 5-year-old Pomeranian mix. I recently said goodbye to my sweet 18-year-old cat, Bailey, and understand the deep bond we share with our furry friends. Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve always had a deep love and understanding for pets of all kinds — both dogs and cats. I'm comfortable with any breed and especially patient with seniors or pets who need a little extra care. Whether it’s walking, feeding, cuddling, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply being there for your furry friend, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own — with love, attention, and lots of tail wags (or purrs). I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I have the perfect opportunity to take a few breaks throughout the day to spend quality time with your pet. Whether it’s cuddling, playing, or simply giving them the attention they need, I’m happy to take a break from my screen. Plus, I love getting a little fresh air, so we can go for a walk, stretch our legs, or just enjoy the outdoors together. When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize their safety and well-being above all else. With years of experience and a deep love for animals, you can trust that your pet will be in capable hands. I take time to follow your pet’s routine closely, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or ensuring they have plenty of playtime, I’m reliable and detail-oriented in every aspect of their care. I understand how important trust is when it comes to leaving your pet in someone else's care, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own pets. You can rest easy knowing that your pet is not just safe, but truly cared for.
“If I could give Morgan 10 stars I would! She went above and beyond, even handling a skunk kill in the backyard. My girls were well-cared-for and the house was vacuumed, sheets cleaned and bed remade. Her calm yet strong demeanor was perfect for my anxious pups.”
“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.”
“You know those videos where a dog sees its owner for the first time in 3 years and takes off with no cares about anything else besides licking their owner’s face and wagging their whole butt in happiness? That’s what it was like when my pup first met Kristin. He was all over her during the meet and greet. Unfortunately, she was watching him because I had him fixed the day after she met him. But when she watched him she still managed to keep him entertained while also not letting him run around and pop his stitches. She did a good job, my pup loves her, and I would definitely have her watch him again”

I always try to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are gone. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m able to plan visits around my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding visits, and playtime during the week and weekends. I always prioritize making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.

“Jennifer was a perfect sitter. She was so kind and friendly. My dog just loved her, even tried to follow her out the door when she left. She asked all the right question and gave me perfect pupdates through out my time with her. I am so lucky to have found her!”
“Carolyn totally took care of my special needs 15 year old honey bunny Sonny. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Sonny is a bit high maintenance with his health and Carolyn met all his needs. She was active in communicating and let me have some peace of mind while I was away for work. House and pup were great when I got back. Sonny and I thank you Carolyn and we are so greatful.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hermosa Beach
If I could give JoAnne more than 5 stars, I would. We hired her to stay with our Great Dane, Gandalf, for three days while we were camping. He had just had surgery, so this wasn’t a typical pet-sitting job. She stayed with him around the clock, administered all of his medications, monitored his recovery, and gave us complete peace of mind. JoAnne kept us updated throughout every day with photos, videos, and thoughtful messages, so we always knew exactly how Gandalf was doing. It was so clear how deeply she understands animals. She has an incredible intuition, endless patience, and a genuine love for the pets she cares for. What completely blew us away was everything she did beyond caring for Gandalf. She unexpectedly cleaned our home, folded our laundry, and even washed all of our bedding so we came home after traveling to fresh, clean sheets. It was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture and something we never expected. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and an immaculate house honestly felt unreal. JoAnne is the real deal. She’s one of those rare people who genuinely loves both animals and people, and it shows in everything she does. We trust her completely and won’t hesitate to book her again. She is an absolute gem, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their pets.
Highly recommend Victoria. We had to change our boarding plans last minute due to one of our older dogs having to recover from a medical emergency and opted to use Rover. Plus we have another dog to manage during all this. Victoria came in and just instantly bonded and calmed our energetic pups. She took notes and asked great questions to get to know our dogs. She checked in the days leading up and morning of which put us ant ease as we’re were having her house sit while we were out of the country for 10 days. She kept us up to date with daily pictures and check-ins. She let us know if we she needed to adjust some of care notes or as concerns came up. We came home to happy and healthy dogs.
This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with Mindy. She was incredibly communicative throughout her stay at our home and kept us updated the entire time. Our dog absolutely loved her, and it was such a comfort to receive so many pictures while we were away. Seeing those updates made missing our dog a little easier. Mindy took wonderful care of both our home and our dog, and we felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such good hands. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and all around amazing pet sitter.
Sam was amazing! She took such great care of Prince and Teddy and kept us updated throughout the stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you!! 🐶💕
She did well taking care of our very energetic Boxer pup. She sent us a picture and provided an update. When we arrived back home the house was in order. Usually or pup gets zoomies and will move the area rugs or coffee table. We would definitely book her again.
Brittney did an amazing job taking care of our Frenchie and our home while we were away. Her communication was consistent, thoughtful, and always kept us informed. We especially loved getting the adorable photos and updates of our little pup throughout the stay. We came home to a happy doggie and a well cared for house, and we would absolutely book Brittney again!
I can't say enough great things about Josephine! I was nervous to leave my fur baby for 2 weeks, but Josephine helped us both feel at ease when I was away. I received daily detailed updates and photos, and my dog seemed to feel safe and relaxed in her care. I am so glad I found her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hermosa Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hermosa Beach on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,304 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hermosa Beach. 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 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 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.
