“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 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 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.

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: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 20+ years of experience caring for pups of all sizes — from tiny Frenchies to an English Mastiff! I’ve always been the go-to dog person for friends and family, and I truly treat every pup like my own. I’m also a registered foster with the international animal non-profit “I Stand With My Pack.” In 2025, I fostered an amazing dog (pictured in my profile) who was displaced during the January fires — and still regularly dog sit for his forever family today. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those who need medication or have special behavioral needs (like food aggression). I can also handle multiple dogs at once and make sure each one gets plenty of love and attention. Because I work from home full-time, your pup will always have company, regular walks, and lots of affection. I live just minutes from The Strand and The Greenbelt, perfect for daily strolls and playtime. I offer daycare, overnight boarding, and extended stays — a loving, safe home away from home. One day, I hope to have my own Great Dane (with a yard to match!), but for now, I’d love to welcome yours ❤️ I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I live an active lifestyle and love taking dogs on walks or outdoor adventures near The Strand and The Greenbelt. For pups who prefer a slower pace, I’m equally happy to stay in, relax, and enjoy cuddle time. Whether your dog is high-energy or low-key, I’ll match their vibe and keep them feeling safe, loved, and comfortable. When your pup is with me—whether it’s for a walk, boarding, or just hanging out for the day—they’ll get all the love and attention they deserve. I always connect with pet parents ahead of time to learn about your dog’s routines, quirks, and any special needs, so I can care for them just like you would. Safety is always my top priority, and while I’ll give gentle guidance when needed, my care is rooted in kindness, patience, and fun—from cuddles on the couch to playtime (or wrestles!). Whatever your dog needs, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and right at home.

About: I just recently lost my best friend, Yoda, after 15 years of faithful companionship. I connect very well with pets and they with me. I am well known in the dog walking community. I am available between the hours of 9am and 5pm daily both weekdays and weekends. I prefer to have reservations made a day or two in advance. I'm familiar with all the local walking locations in Redondo, Manhattan and Torrance. I'm looking forward sharing my love for dogs with your best friend. I'm well known in the Redondo area, just ask anyone about Kathy and Yoda.

About: With over 30 years of caring for both dogs and cats, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and know how to make pets feel safe, calm, loved, and comfortable, especially when their owners are away or at work. I offer more than basic pet sitting; I create a nurturing environment where pets receive personalized attention, affection, exercise, and emotional support. My background in healthy lifestyle coaching also helps me stay attentive, active, organized, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I am particularly patient with senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need extra reassurance or consistency in their routines. It fits into my schedule because I can spend time with them at the beach, the dog park, walking around town, or just hopping in the car to visit a larger dog park. Life is good when time isn't an issue. My home is fenced and offers plenty of space for outdoor play. Plus, we spend most of our time outside. I cook homemade food for my fur baby and always take a nap after a long walk. You can feel reassured knowing your fur babies will have someone present, attentive, experienced, and caring while they are away.

About: I’m a proud dog mom to my 80-pound Husky, Harley, so I understand firsthand how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pup. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from little pups to larger breeds, and I’m confident handling bigger, stronger dogs as long as we’re a good fit for one another. I love being outdoors and going on walks, and I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality, energy level and needs. I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual walking routine, commands and preferences to help them feel as comfortable as possible while they’re with me. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, care and attention I would want someone to give my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I already enjoy using my free time to get outdoors and go for walks! I have flexible availability every other Monday, and I’m generally available Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 4:30 PM, Thursdays and Fridays in the evenings, and early mornings on Saturdays and Sundays. My availability may occasionally vary or allow for additional times, so please feel free to send me a request and I’ll be happy to let you know if I’m available. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. Before caring for your pup, I’d love to learn about their normal routine, temperament, commands, walking habits and anything I should be aware of, such as triggers or reactivity around other dogs or people. During walks, I’ll keep your pup safely leashed and pay close attention to our surroundings. For drop-in visits, I’ll respect your home and follow the care instructions you provide. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pup is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hermosa Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hermosa Beach is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 October 2026, there are 19,515 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hermosa Beach. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
