About: I grew up with two dogs, 4 cats, and pet sat for neighbors and friends. I currently have a cat who doesn't like other animals, so I would be more than happy to spend time with your animals! I am very active and love being outside, so walks with your pets would be lovely! I'm currently available all day on Sunday, Monday, Friday, and Saturday. I have class on Wednesdays and Thursdays in the morning, but could fit in some afternoon sessions! I take dogs on walks, brush pets, feed pets as instructed by the owner, play with animals, pick up waste, take pets outside as instructed, and put pets in kennels if needed.

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!

Jordan did an amazing job doing 10 drop-in visits across 4 days for my dog Gus. Jordan came super prepared at the meet and greet visit and asked a lot of questions to understand Gus’ routine. My dog is part lab/cattle dog and has a bunch of quirks, and she made sure he was well taken care of. Jordan also did a great job when I booked her for a first time walk before my trip so Gus could get familiar with her. Providing picture updates on the walk. She provided great updates in each Rover card. Including photos, videos, and notes from each visit to share how Gus was doing. She even came back to check on him on 4th of July to ensure he was ok during fireworks. It’s my first time using Rover and Gus was in great hands. She made my trip worry-free. Would definitely book her again!

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs from working dogs to stay at home dogs. 1 LAPD working dog being an aggressive German Shepard, another LAPD working dog an energetic German Shorthair. As well as a handful of smaller energetic dogs and lapdogs. I fully ensure that I can handle all different dogs and their personalities. ☺️ I’m currently working part time but I still have plenty of gaps in my schedule that I’d like to fill. I like to maintain busy so caring for animals seems like a fun choice 🤗. I live in a big neighborhood that has plenty of space for walking and playtime. I’ve also have a car and could easily take your pet to a nearby park suitable for dogs. I also fully am able to care for a pet inside a clients home as I have house-sat before.

Kat was great. She was very detail oriented and on top of everything, very proactive in her approach and extremely professional and timely. She reminded us of several things to think about before our trip and asked smart questions. She did an amazing job of playing with cats and taking photos. We would highly recommend Kat on your next vacation pet drop-ins.

About: I specialize in caring for calm, well-trained, highly independent pets while maintaining a clean, organized, and well-cared-for home. My goal is to follow your pet’s established routine and provide consistent, dependable care while you’re away. I’m a great fit for households with pets that are well-mannered, comfortable with their routines, and able to settle independently. I focus on maintaining the environment your pets are already familiar with, ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout your absence. As a full-time traveling house sitter that has cared for 25+ homes, pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I intentionally schedule my days around each pet’s established feeding, exercise, play, and care routines while maintaining the home as if it were my own. Because this is my full time focus, I’m able to provide consistent attention, adapt to each household’s preferences, and ensure pets receive dependable care throughout my stay. House and pet sitting gives me the ability to experience new environments while maintaining structure and consistency in my daily life. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and presence of pets in the home. I like learning their personalities, how different animals and breeds interact with their environment, and what helps them feel comfortable and at ease. I also enjoy play, interaction, and building a calm, steady presence with them during a sit. I provide structured, routine based care including feeding, walking, playtime, enrichment, and oral medication when it can be given with ease and cooperation. I value calm, stable home environments with clear instructions and consistent routines. I do best in well maintained, organized homes that are clutter free, odor free, clean, and with minimal excess pet hair buildup. I also appreciate the use of air purifiers when available. While I work remotely and am primarily at home, my work includes focused independent periods, and I check in on pets throughout the day as part of their routine care. A video call (Zoom or Google Meet) is required prior to confirming a sit to ensure a mutual fit for both home and pet care expectations. I appreciate homeowners who are familiar with my profile and come prepared with any questions as well. I am not a fit for: • Highly Velcro pets requiring constant proximity or attention • Aggressive behavior toward humans or other animals • Physical force based handling, training, or behavior modification responsibilities • Daily intensive mess cleanup or unmanaged accidents • Co-sleeping (pets must sleep independently in their own space outside the bedroom) • Frequent last minute changes, unclear schedules, or unstable routines I value clear communication, respectful, hospitable, and well structured sits.

About: A reliable, detail-oriented, pet sitter for clients with busy schedules, who value consistency and communication. I have experience caring for pets in house, managing daily routines such as feeding, getting good walks in, quality time. Also, experienced with administration of medication. Keeping pets comfortable and calm so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m highly attentive and treat each home with care as a guest. Trust is everything when someone is entering your space. I’m a strong fit for clients who appreciate cleanliness, professionalism, and clear communication with a peace of mind knowing their home and pets are properly being cared for. For select overnight stays, I’ll be accompanied by my friendly, well-house trained dog ( with prior approval ) He’s the best boy and loves all dogs and cats! Having a dog myself, consistent routines are important. I’m flexible with scheduling and able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening care as needed with each booking. A lot of my clients from other mediums have been high class professionals and have very detailed and specific needs that need to be executed correctly. I treat every space with care and discretion. I have great private references that I would be happy to connect you with.

About: I’m a dog walker by day, and dog mom by night. I also grew up fostering dogs as a child, so I’m very familiar with handling all sorts of dogs. As always, their safety is always my number one priority, smiles and pets, and treats of course! I work from home 5 days a week, and my weekends are for dog friendly activities only- my fur child literally runs my schedule. So I have all the availability to take care of all your pups needs! I have a fur child, rescue lab, who loves to host and would love to play with your pup while you’re gone. I’m constantly going on long walks, and I work from home- so your dog will have plenty of access and time outdoors. I also send photos and updates throughout their stay, so parents can be kept up to date.

Rebecca is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. I get nervous leaving my cat but Rebecca sent thorough updates every day, lots of pictures and videos, and my cat looked SO happy and entertained hanging out with her. I didn’t worry at all on this trip, which meant so much to me. Rebecca goes above and beyond with everything and is a lovely caring person. I hope to book with her again!

Vanessa took wonderful care of our cats while we were away for two weeks. She was always on time, incredibly responsive, and kept us updated with detailed report cards after every visit. It was obvious from the photos and updates that our cats were comfortable, well cared for, and genuinely loved by her, they looked like they were having a great time! She also went above and beyond by bringing in our packages and helping with a few small requests around the house, which we really appreciated. Knowing everything was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Hermosa Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hermosa Beach on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 19,403 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hermosa Beach. 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 Hermosa Beach 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 Hermosa Beach. 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.
