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!

About: I grew up with three dogs and my first job was working at a dog kennel. I ended up working there for 3 years during high school and have experience giving shots and medication to dogs. Once I moved to NYC, I started fostering puppies and ended up adopting one of them and he is the light of my life! I’d love to take care of your pup and make sure that they barely miss you! I work a remote job with flexible hours, so I have a lot of time to hang out with your pup and give them all the love! I have a porch and live right next to a nature trail, my dog is very friendly and loves to play so he’ll love the company.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have been around pets for basically my whole life. I had my dog for 16 years, so I’ve grown up learning how to care for a dog, keep up with their routine, give them attention, take them on walks, and make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I’ve also had three cats, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and know that every pet has their own personality. I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience yet, but I’m very responsible, caring, patient, and excited to take care of other people’s pets. I’ll always follow your instructions and treat your pet like my own. I’m a full-time college student, so my schedule depends on my classes, but I have plenty of free time throughout the week. I’m hoping to use some of that time doing something I genuinely love, which is being around animals. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the day and my class schedule. I’m pretty flexible and will always be upfront about my availability. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they can stay comfortable. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I’ll always take their safety seriously. I’ll follow any instructions you give me about feeding, walks, medications, routines, or anything else your pet needs. I’ll make sure they’re safe during walks and visits and pay attention to how they’re acting so I can notice if something seems off. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away and can send pictures and little updates of your pet so you know how they’re doing. I know it’s nice to be able to see your pet while you’re away. I’ll give them lots of attention, patience, and love while they’re in my care.

About: I am known for my passion for taking care of dogs. For me, to know a canine is to love a canine. I have experience taking care of dogs who want to play for hours as well as couch potatoes. I also have experience caring for senior dogs with health issues. The great news is that Monday through Friday my schedule is flexible from mid-morning on, so I have plenty of time to focus on your dog. On the weekends I am available some afternoons and evenings. I have a small fenced in yard. We are a couple blocks from the park and from the strand, so plenty of options. I have a big wooden kennel that works for most dogs if they want quiet time.

About: My Pet Care Journey My family always had a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to ferrets and racoons. While I have loved animals since I was a toddler , I bring over 20 years of dedicated, hands-on experience. This includes caring for family and friends pets and the privilege of sharing my life with my own dog for 17 beautiful years. Training & Connection My dog was my constant companion—joining me at college and every job I held. She was incredibly intelligent, and we had a unique bond; people often joked that she could understand human conversation. I trained her to do everything from giving high fives, hugs, and "volume-controlled" speaking, to solving puzzles and even climbing trees. I love engaging dogs with challenges and brain games to keep them mentally stimulated, not just physically tired. Our Rehabilitation Journey My deepest experience comes from the battles we fought together. When my 75lb dog suddenly became paralyzed after a dental cleaning, I dedicated myself to her recovery. Through patience and intense physical therapy, I successfully nursed her back to walking condition. When she faced a second, more severe episode later in life, we went right back to work with that same determination. I spent months managing her limited mobility, hygiene, and daily PT exercises. Although she eventually passed from gallbladder issues, those experiences taught me exactly what goes into complex care: the lifting, the mechanics of movement, and most importantly, the patience required to help a dog heal. My Approach Whether your dog needs a fun companion for hikes and brain games or a patient partner for recovery exercises, I provide the same level of devotion I gave my own best friend. Flexible & Available Since I am focusing on pet care full-time, I have great flexibility! I am available 7 days a week for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I can easily adjust to your dog's specific routine rather than trying to squeeze them into a tight schedule, and I'm often available for last-minute bookings. Peace of Mind My experience nursing my own dog through recovery taught me how to handle unexpected situations with a cool head. I know that safety is in the details. ​Mindful Care: I am detail-oriented when it comes to securing gates, doors, and harnesses, so you never have to worry. ​Medical Comfort: Because of my background with senior dogs, I am comfortable spotting if a pup isn't feeling well and knowing when to act. ​Reliable: I cared for my own dog for 17 years, rain or shine. You can count on me to show up on time and treat your home and pet with that same level of respect.

About: **Due to overwhelming demand and a large amount of Regulars- I will not be taking new clients during week days for the months of June and July. WEEKENDS ONLY.*** AFTER INITIAL VISIT ON WEEKENDS, POSSIBILITY TO SQUEEZE IN THE FOLLOWING WEEK** i apologize for the inconvenience and will be expanding my operations shortly. Thank you and hope to see your pups! I have owned 10 dogs in my life. I have volunteered at shelters, pounds, etc. Everything from puppies to senior doggos, I can administer medicine, potty train your doggo if needed and even teach them new tricks! I began as a dog walker in Manhattan Beach when I was 10 years old and have over 100 clients. I am just handling my rental properties currently so I am able to give 24/7 care to your best bud! I live off Hermosa Ave so your dog will get plenty of sunshine on Strand Walks. I live alone and have one pup that is extremely friendly, I can also leave him at my parents if you need individual attention with no pets in home. Free 24/7, can give full attention to your pet. Take requests for specific needs. Feel free to reach out and discuss with me, would love to hear your dog story and needs I am hoping to do this full time so I can afford more time to see my family and just do what I love in general- BE WITH DOGS!! As a pet owner myself I have been using Rover and Wag for years and I know how nerve wracking it is finding a new sitter and it requires a lot of trust to leave your fur buddy with someone new, especially for long vacations: I am very personable, I've never met a dog I dont like and that doesn't like me! I will take care of your dog like it is my own and send as many photos as you would like. I'd love to meet you in person or have a quick call to make sure you're comfortable and know that you will have a lifelong sitter that you can call fa friend and your doggo will always love to see! I have a balcony, fenced back yard and I have the ability to walk on the strand or go to park within minutes. I work close with shelters and pounds, have veterinarian friends and experience with all sorts of dogs

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs of my own who are 9 and 10 years old, and I've raised them since they were puppies--- I've gone through everything from teething and potty training to administering daily arthritis pills. I love taking long walks, playing fetch or tug-o-war, and giving lots of pets and cuddles. I work from home, so my availability during the day is extremely flexible, and I love to send lots of pictures to the 'paw-rents' while they're away! I work from home and have a very flexible calendar to be able to adjust to the needs of my pet clients. I am an early riser in the morning and am usually done with all other commitments around 3pm if an afternoon walk/play time is of interest! I follow instructions very well and have a lot of experience with different types of pet needs. I treat others' spaces like I do national/state parks, "Leave No Trace".

About: Dogs are family members in my home, not just pets. Your K9(s) will be in a great neighborhood in south Redondo Beach, where the air quality is good, the weather is temperate all year long, and they have lots of room to roam in a fenced in back yard. I take joy of sending pics of your dogs stay with me throughout the day. If you're anything like me, you may have more photos of your dog on your phone than you do of people! Lastly, when I take in a dog; I’m with them the whole time and they always have indoor/outdoor access; my back door stays open all day long. Looking to do this full time again. My favorite job by far. I'd like focus on having just a couple solid/repeat customers over volume. Someone that travels a bit with work and/or is looking for a "second home" for their pup(s). I love the bonds I make with my dogs and owners alike. There's nothing more rewarding than my clients running towards my front door when being dropped off and being so happy to see me :) I have my home open for dogs to roam freely in and out, however, I only will have 2 at a time to keep my attention and care at the highest level.

About: I have grown up with pets and have enjoyed learning and experiencing different personalities. With my hands-on experience your furry friend is in capable and caring hands. I specialize in small to medium-sized dogs, but my recent experience with larger breeds has expanded my horizons, though I'm quite selective and open to it only if they're exceptionally well-behaved. My approach to pet sitting is all about creating a comfortable space for your pet to ensure they feel safe and cared for even when you're not at home with them. I understand that every pet is unique and requires individualized attention, which is why I tailor my care to suit their needs and why I only accept 1 client household at a time. I try to accommodate your pet's schedule so that they don't have to experience too much change at once. This includes sticking to exercise regimens, feeding schedules, potty breaks and bedtimes. I work remotely full-time which means I have flexibility in my schedule. Additionally, I try to maintain an active lifestyle which includes running and hiking. When onboarding a new client, I make sure that I understand the pet's schedule and preferences. Additionally, I make sure to understand any boundaries the pet should adhere in the client's home including yard space or even areas in the house. I do a walkthrough with the client so I know what areas may pose a safety concern such as gates and fences. I try to understand the pet's behavior in different scenarios such as when the door bell rings or if a neighborhood dog approaches during walks. I also make sure I have emergency numbers and the location of the closest animal hospital. For client's ease of mind , I provide pictures and updates as needed on the pet.

Shu was awesome! She was super responsive, reliable, and great with Ason and Dilla. She kept us updated throughout the visit, sent lots of photos, took them on nice walks, made sure they had fresh water, and genuinely seemed to care about them. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Both dogs looked happy and comfortable with her, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We will absolutely use Shu again and highly recommend her!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hermosa Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hermosa Beach is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $42 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 19,427 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hermosa Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Hermosa Beach. On Rover:

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 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.
