“Mark was great with Ransom over the weekend! Ransom can be a handful at times, especially on walks and Mark was more than up for the challenge. He gave plenty of updates throughout the day and tons of photos. He even went above and beyond leaving the apartment much cleaner than he found it!”
“Angela again provided outstanding care to our elderly dog. She left our home in the exact condition she found it, even washed the bathmat. When our return flight was late she even went the extra mile to change her plans and stay later than the original agreement.”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember. My last pet, my soul dog Bella, lived to be 18. We traveled the country together and I got the privilege of being her mommy from 8 weeks old to a little over 18. She has changed my life in so many ways and inspired me to help all other animals in need. I’m extremely caring, attentive and loving. I will treat your pet as if it is my own. However, I’m a bit of a spoiler when it comes to animals but I will lead in anyway that you would expect of me. I look forward to connecting with you and more importantly, your fur babies. I’m currently working 4 days a week as an Esthetician but I will always find time for my babies. My favorite time of day is when I get to be at home snuggling my pup and kitty. I always keep a close eye on my pets and keep anything potentially harmful well out of reach. I always pick up on their anxiousness or when they are not feeling well, and will go completely out of my way to make sure they’re ok!
“Annie is such an amazing human being, I truly trusted her with Coco my puppy the minute i saw her. She is genuine, caring, updates me with photos and videos and lovely as a person. I recommend Annie for dog sitting with no doubt, thank you so much, I’m very grateful that i found you.”
“Todd was such a huge help with Quincy during our recent out of town trip. We were updated with photos daily, and was receptive to requests for helping keep Quincy (and the entry to the house) clean during a rain storm. We will keep Todd in mind for a future booking with Quincy :)”
“Liana did a great job taking care of our anxious dog. It looked like he warmed up to her very quickly. She did a great job keeping us updated and took a lot of pic. We will be using her whenever we go out of town.”
“Michelle is incredible. For ten days she looked after our two cats and our home. She sent daily photos and updates. She thoughtfully took care of our home, leaving it clean and tidy for our return. It's clear she truly loves cats - ours were so relaxed and chill when we got home. She's a great communicator, a cool and reliable human. We feel lucky and grateful to have found her, ❤️”
“We were hesitant to leave our senior dog with someone new, but after meeting Lilian, we were immediately at ease. She didn’t bat an eye at my extremely lengthy instructions and sent lots of photos and videos. Our sweet girl takes some extra care and patience and we are so grateful that we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was in the best of hands. Our furnace went out the day before we returned and she handled it all without a glitch (despite a freezing cold house). We feel lucky to have found Lillian!”
About: I’ve always loved animals from volunteering at the bunny rescue as a teenager, walking the neighbors dogs, to having a kitty choose me as mamma til her recent passing. I am happy to follow any protocols, ensure a safe walk, do light training. How wonderful is it to get fresh air and exercise with the pups! Old roommates always had dogs so I’d enjoy walking them (even when they were in a stroller!) and helping them get trained (rescues!). Very flexible on timing, I’m in between main projects, so am taking on walks, boardings, etc. I was a PM in corporate til I decided to go the creative route 2 years ago :) in music, wellness, and spirituality. So my freelance schedule allows for varied bookings. My home is a studio, no other pets. Safe yard in case of any quick escapes in a safe, quiet neighborhood. In clients home I am happy to respect any rules and follow any protocols to ensure a safe, happy trip for the pet!
“Timothy was everything you’d ever want in a sitter! Kind, thoughtful, attentive, intelligent, quickly won over the pups, reliable, and communicative. And sends lots of photos too! We were so lucky to find him last minute and will DEFINITELY book with him again.”
“Elizabeth watched my pup while I was delivering my baby for 5 days. She was super flexible when I had to stay at the hospital for longer than anticipated and very responsive to me. A friend dropped off baby clothes and when we got home Elizabeth had cleaned, sorted them for us. She truly went above and beyond and it was such a nice gesture. She also left the pace super clean. I highly recommend her.”
“Sabrina was awesome. She took great care of our two dogs for over two weeks. Unfortunately one of our dogs got suddenly ill and Sabrina was so helpful in taking her to the vet and sticking by her side and giving us updates, and finally nursing her back to health. She gave us real peace of mind. She also gave us daily updates and photos to let us know how the pups were doing. We will definitely work with Sabrina again!”
“Katy was hands-down exceptional. She was conscientious with our dog and our home as if they were her own. She asked all the right questions, was super responsive and came prepared with an incredible knowledge and love of dogs. Regular check-ins and photos or videos from walks/park trips let us relax while we were away knowing our pup was in the very best hands. We highly recommend Katy for any of your dog needs!”
“Jessica was available last minute and did an amazing job with my cat Hobbes. While she stayed with him overnight she made sure to send photos and multiple updates through out the visit and eased my mind of leaving him home. Highly recommend her to anyone!!!”
About: Seasoned sitter with a track record of reliable care dating back to my teenage years, specializing in diverse breeds and specialized needs. I provide high quality care tailored to your pet’s unique personality and physical needs. My experience ranges from managing the high energy dynamic of a pack of Pomeranians to providing attentive support for an injured cat. Leave it to me, you can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is with a calming, caring presence providing updates as often as you wish. I am self employed and I always keep mornings free. I can be available on short notice if needed. My schedule is generally flexible during the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities when entering a client's home. During every visit I make sure all entries are securely locked and that the space is free of hazards before leaving. When walking, I am hyper vigilant about my surroundings. I steer clear of unknown animals and potential threats to the safety of pets.
“The boys loved Ricky! He constantly kept me updated with photos of them during their potty breaks and hanging out around the house. Ricky was very attentive and gave the boys lots of love and cuddles. When I got back from vacation boys were acting as if they had just gotten back from vacation as well. House was left just as I left it. Will be booking Ricky for future vacations!”
About: I've grown up with animals my entire life! From the moment my parents surprised my brother and me with our first dog when I was 7, I've loved caring for pets of all kinds. Since I was 10, I've been trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to walk, feed, and love their dogs and cats while they're away. I'm an animal lover through and through, and I treat every pet as if they were my own-making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're gone. My fiancée and I have a Beagle and we couldn’t imagine our lives without her. I work fully remotely and have flexibility to provide care all day, every day. I can provide any amount of attention and love your pet needs. I am truly an animal lover and strive to provide individualized care based on your pets’ unique needs. After graduating from UCLA a few years ago, I began helping neighbors and friends with their pets. I would love to expand my network in the community to love as many animals as possible.
“Kristen was fantastic from start to finish. She was super communicative during the upfront discussions. Came by for a meet and greet and got along great with our pet. We had some travel logistics go wrong and she was super flexible with us during it. I could not have asked for more. We returned and our pet was great, and the house looked like no one was there.”

Jessa was an amazing sitter and look forward to working with her again! They were extremely communicative, helpful, and took amazing care of our babes. She was patient with our often grumpy chichi and gentle and loving with our senior cats. Thanks again for everything!
Laura was absolutely incredible while watching my two cats and housesitting for an entire week! She was so communicative and sent wonderful picture updates a couple of times every single day, which gave me total peace of mind. She was even incredibly sweet and understanding about my kittens being very early risers, even on the weekends. I came home to a super clean apartment and very happy cats. I would absolutely have Laura stay and watch my pets and place anytime. Highly recommend!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Dorie! She took amazing care of our two Cavapoos, Waffles and Pancakes, while we were away, and we came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. She was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable photos that gave us complete peace of mind. Our home was also left spotless, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. We wouldn't hesitate to book Dorie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Waffles and Pancakes—we're so grateful!
Carlyn and Lorenzo were absolutely fantastic! They took amazing care of our dog Maple and treated our home with so much care, including keeping our plants happy while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing Maple was in such great hands. They communicated clearly, sent regular updates, and it was clear that they genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. She was very happy and well cared for when I returned. They are wonderful people, and we would love to have them sit for Maple again in the future. We’ll definitely be reaching out for future trips and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitters!
Isabella is a highly attentive and caring cat sitter.😺🐈 She took care of our little guy while we were away and house sit and he had a great time. She was great at keeping up with his various care needs. She's very responsible and highly recommend her for pet care!
My husband and I hired Didi to watch our dog on our wedding day. She was absolutely amazing with him. She walked, fed, and drove him to and from the venue as requested. Didi ensured that Honey was well behaved during the ceremony and she even got him to pose for several pictures! 10/10 would rebook Didi for any occasion.
Machenzie did a great job watching my dog! She was caring, attentive, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. My dog was happy and relaxed when I came back which says everything. So grateful to have found someone so trustworthy — highly recommend!
Birutė is AMAZING!!! She took care of my Frenchie in my home and took great care of him and my home. He has a complex medication and feeding schedule and she followed it perfectly. He was happy, healthy, and living his best life and she sent a ton of photos to let me know!
Anna was great! This was our first time using Rover overnight for our cat and puppy. We were really nervous about having a stranger in our home with our animals but after our first call with Anna we were very confident that she would really care for our pets! She kept our place clean, sent us photos, exercised our crazy puppy a ton and gave our cat some love. I would definitely recommend her!
We LOVE having Jason stay with our girl, Luna. She’s always so excited to see him when he arrives at the house, and is super relaxed and calm when we arrive home from our travels. She’s been a bit under the weather lately but was in such great hands with Jason over our last trip.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pacific Palisades
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pacific Palisades on Rover is $44.4 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 13,280 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pacific Palisades. 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 Pacific Palisades 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 Pacific Palisades 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 Pacific Palisades 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pacific Palisades. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
