“Mark always does a tremendous job taking care of our dog and house. He is a great communicator and goes out of his way to show Poppy a wonderful time. We always look forward to having the chance to have Mark take care of Poppy.”

“Yuliia went above and beyond with my puppy. She kept me updated, sent pictures, spent plenty of time with her and made sure she was happy the entire time. Thanks to Yuliia she made my trip feel a lot easier knowing my pup was in good hands.”

“Jojo is amazing to work with. She was great with our puppy Moose and sent fun and frequent updates during our trip. Our three year old daughter looked forward to them every day. She also took excellent care of our house and went above and beyond leaving some fresh fruit for our young daughter to make sure she had breakfast when we returned. Highly recommend!”

“Elizabeth was amazing. Our little buddy and our home were both in great shape upon our return. She was super flexible and also helped us look out for a package that arrived unexpectedly early. We would def book her again in the future!”

“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.”

“Dorie was sweet and communicative when we met her for our meet and greet and throughout our time away. Came home to a happy pup and a tidy home. Will be reaching out again !”

“Liana was so patient with my grumpy special needs bulldog. My dog is super sweet with people but becomes shy and disgruntled when I’m gone which Liana got to experience. Instead of shying away, Liana gave my Eisley space to adjust and worked around his comfort which was a huge relief to me. Additionally with his incontinence, Liana was still able to meet his needs with diaper changes despite his attitude. I can’t thank or applaud her enough efforts enough to help me come home from a work trip unstressed about the safety of my pets. I highly recommend her!”

“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!”

“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, ❤️”


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!
“Timothy is consistently one of the best dog sitters we’ve worked with. He gives constant updates and photos, always makes us feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend.”

About: Growing up, I've always had not just one, but multiple pets around the house to help take care of. From birds, fish, rabbits, and of course cats and dogs, I have experience giving care to different types of pets from a bottle feeding age to seniors as well. I have a passion for animals and treat other pets much like they are my own. My wife and I currently care for 2 dogs and 1 cat. One of our late, but always loved, dogs required additional attention with daily medication and regular trips to an oncologist because of his lymphoma, so I can reassure your loved ones with the same type of care if they need it as well. Having attended many training lessons for dogs, I can also provide reinforcement to any training for your pets. I'm looking forward to connecting and helping as much as I can! Since I'm a real estate agent, my schedule is flexible and any unavailable times will be reflected on my Rover calendar. I'm able to do a lot of work on the computer and meetings in-person are scheduled ahead of time which will not interfere with the care that I agree to provide. For every Pet Sitting, Walking, or Drop-In visit, I'm happy to and prefer to keep the same routine you would provide to your loved ones. Much like my own, I'm happy to administer daily medication, help take trips to the vet/appointments, prepare special diets, and get much needed exercise. We can also work together to freestyle how you'd like your pet to be cared for and I can provide recommendations that my pets enjoy as well. The most important aspects are your loved ones being safe and comfortable as well as your peace of mind intact.
“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!”

“Maria was absolutely amazing with my dog, Dolly! I felt so happy and at ease knowing Dolly was in such loving and caring hands. Maria kept me updated with the sweetest photos and videos, followed all of my instructions, and made sure Dolly had plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and cuddles. It was so clear that Dolly was having the best time! You can truly see how much Maria loves dogs and how much care she puts into everything she does. Dolly absolutely adored her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would happily leave Dolly with Maria again and highly, highly recommend her!”
“Christian went out of his way to meet us in person before we booked with him. He has always showed up on time and is great with our dogs. we’ve always had a positive experience and trust him with our dogs and our home.”

About: I have a love and passion for all things dogs, backed by the ability to be able to show them the love and happiness they deserve. I already walk multiple dogs a day currently and also have 2 dogs of my own, one being 140 pounds and the other being reactive on leash so I’d say I’m well trained in areas of concern for some. My family also fosters dogs, 42 and counting so I’d say I’ve done my fair share of walking and sitting of dogs in that regard also :) I currently have a very open job that allows me to spend lots of time with your babies to ensure they’re happy! Dependant on schedules I’m available mostly every morning and most afternoons I would like to start by coming to your house free of charge, in advance of sitting to introduce myself, learn about the area, any concerns or things to look out for. I will ask about the dogs routine and specific details of their day and then implement that into sitting
“Pearl has been sitting for us for years at this point and there isn’t anyone I trust more with our dog and our house. She is professional and trustworthy, keeps to Doxy’s schedule, provides lots of enrichment, and takes great notes and photos. Thank you again, Pearl!!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, starting with raising my family dog, Django, who now lives happily with my mom while I pursue my PhD in LA. I’ve pet sat three dogs temporarily found in my housing complex while their owners were located, making sure they were safe, fed, and comfortable. Since moving to the States, I’ve also cared for two cats for a friend—one a recent rescue who I had the honor of naming “Tubi.” I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and needs. I have a super flexible schedule and can work from home whenever I want. My girlfriend and I live together, so even when I head out once a day for about an hour to go to the gym, she’s home to keep your pet company. Your pet will have near-constant care and attention! I care for animals with patience, attention, and kindness—treating them as emotionally intelligent beings with their own unique ways of communicating. I see pets as equally wise as humans; the joy and challenge is not just understanding them, but learning their language in return. I create a calm, safe, and respectful environment where your pet can feel at ease, seen, and genuinely cared for.

Jonathan was great. Very easy to communicate with and flexible. So many pictures. He provided wonderful homemade treats! Pepper had a really nice time hanging out with him and his dog and a few other furry friends too. We will definitely use Jonathan again when next in town.

Maria was absolutely amazing with my dog, Dolly! I felt so happy and at ease knowing Dolly was in such loving and caring hands. Maria kept me updated with the sweetest photos and videos, followed all of my instructions, and made sure Dolly had plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and cuddles. It was so clear that Dolly was having the best time! You can truly see how much Maria loves dogs and how much care she puts into everything she does. Dolly absolutely adored her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would happily leave Dolly with Maria again and highly, highly recommend her!
Brittany was absolutely amazing! This was her first Rover booking, and she exceeded every expectation. She is incredibly enthusiastic, conscientious, and genuinely adores animals. It was so comforting to know our dogs were with someone who truly loves spending time with them—and I honestly think she missed them when she wasn’t with them! She kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She was also extremely responsive to every text and phone call, making communication effortless. I couldn’t recommend Brittany more highly. She treated our dogs like they were her own, and we’ll absolutely be using her again and again. If you’re looking for someone who is caring, reliable, attentive, and truly passionate about animals, Brittany is the one!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pacific Palisades
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pacific Palisades on Rover is $61.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 13,059 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.
