“Sid was AMAZING. He took such great care of our 8 week old puppy and our home while we were away for 5 days. He sent frequent updates and photos that really put our minds at ease. Our pup loved him and id recommend Sid to anyone needing a dog sitter. Will definitely book again.”
“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!”
“Sam was great with Odin! He has separation anxiety and can be difficult on leash with other dogs. She did great with him and continued the training we've been doing. Will book her again!”
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!
“Marianna was such a great sitter! She took care of my house, leaving it more put together than before I left. She took out my trash, figured out the high tech litter situation, sent me cute pictures and even left me with a little card and Polaroids of my kitties. My cats were so mellow and happy when I came home. Seeing pictures of them piled on top of her left me feeling so secure that they were comfortable. I would highly recommend Marianna.”
“Jasmine did an amazing good house sitting for me! she kept my home clean and was very attentive to my animals. I would recommend her for any dog sitting/walking, thanks!”
“Chyna is an excellent dog sitter. She watched my Frenchie for a week and he has a very particular set of instruction due to some health issues that Chyna followed to a tee. I highly recommend her. 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.”
“Eva has again provided fantastic services caring for our dogs and cat with in-home sitting. She’s attentive and communicative and we love the pics of the pets while we’re out of town. We will continue to use her services in the future!”
“Judy was amazing with our dogs. She texted me all the details on how they were doing and how many times they went out for potty. I loved her training with one of our dogs that gets anxious and barks.”
“Andrew was great! He stayed with our Violet overnight and kept her fed and walked. She is typically a nervous pup so I was worried about leaving her with someone, but she seemed happy and content when we returned. Our internet went out the whole time Andrew was here, and he was very easygoing about it. We would definitely have him back!”
“Where to begin!! Josephine watched our senior pup for a week during the holidays and to say she took immaculate care of her is an understatement. She sent pictures galore, kept up informed & asked questions about pup and the house. She was an amazing house guest and just such a great human to work with! Thank you, Josephine!”
“Mars was fantastic with our big dogs! As soon as they came into our home, it was obvious how much they adored animals. We got plenty of updates, and felt really comfortable leaving our fur babies home with Mars!”
About: I've had pups most of my life. I love hanging and playing with them. I also have a big back yard where they can play. I look forward to meeting your furry baby and giving him/her lots of love and attention My schedule is wide open, I do attend a morning job program, but I have a lot of time and flexibility. I love meeting new furry friends. I live with my Dad and there is always somebody home. I live on a quiet street, I have a fenced in large back yard with plenty of green spaces. My home has no carpet and is very pet friendly. I will also take them for walks in the neighborhood.
About: I had the luxury of growing up on property in Oregon, and with that space came the ability to have many pets!!! Specialty care with seniors and high energy doggies who need more attention and support. I’m a single mom and I work part-time at a local hospital so I have pretty open availability! I generally work two 12’s a week and am lucky enough to choose which days I work so I can be more flexible with availability to take care of your pet. I have a fenced yard, and a big comfy couch to lounge around on. I’m active, so like to take your pet on multiple walks if they have energy to burn. The only pet we currently have is a ball python named Garuda!! Though we keep things calm, we also do love a high energy pet that wants to play all the time!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hermosa Beach
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!
Jasmine was wonderful watching my pups on my first longer out of town trip! I’m so grateful that she held things down at the house while I was across the country. She kept me updated with regular pictures and was attentive to detail. Will absolutely be re-booking asap
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.
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!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Mariel was so enthusiastic and caring, gave our dog lots of attention and love, and kept us updated throughout our time away. We especially appreciated all the photos and videos—it was so nice to see how happy and well cared for our dog was. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend Mariel and will definitely book with her 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!
Chyna was fantastic! Took amazing care of our two pups – both are rescues, anxious, and a challenge to walk. Chyna went above and beyond, giving them extra love and extra exercise – sending lots of pics. And our place was beyond immaculate upon our return, going so far as to do change sheets & do laundry. Highly recommend her & look forward to having her care for our dogs again💕
Josh and Fi are wonderful and have watched our pets for drop-ins, long trips, walks, etc and have taken care of them through health issues and sicknesses. They are the most reliable, responsible, and communicative sitters and we are sooo thankful to have them!
Sydney was awesome!! I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that Mystic was in good hands.. Sydney sent updates with pictures and videos of Mystic having a blast which I enjoyed receiving! :) Our home was well taken care of while we were away. We came home to everything, clean, tidy and just the way we had left it. Best of all, Mystic was a happy girl and clearly well cared for. Thanks Sydney! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hermosa Beach is $66 per night as of October 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 14,099 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
