“Mark once again was terrific with Pepper. He is very easy to communicate and flexible. Most of all he is so sweet to Pepper and takes her on lots of wonderful adventures. She is so excited every time we are in town and she gets to hang with Mark. He also sends lots of wonderful pictures.”
“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!”

Lindsay was very responsive and so helpful, and I would absolutely recommend her to other Rover users!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs, cats, and more for 16 years and absolutely love doing it. I’ve been an owner of a dog with some separation anxiety, so I know you want to leave your pet with someone who will care for them, love on them, and keep them safe (and send you as many updates as you prefer!). I work from home which allows me to give lots of attention to your loved one. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if your pet has any special needs to accommodate. Working from home means I am very flexible and your pet won’t have to be alone for long periods of time. I live across from a park and walk there frequently! I live on the second floor of a spacious apartment building across the street from a park. If you provide a crate, I am happy to put your dog in it when I am not home, if that is your routine.
“Morgan took great care of both our dog and cat! He sent us tons of photos and left our place immaculate. He was also very friendly and communicative while we were abroad. Would highly recommend and trust Morgan with our fur babies!”
About: Dogs and Cats have been a part of me life for decades. Very experienced with Tripod (3-legged) Dogs, Senior Dogs, Cats with Renewal Failure, and dogs with anxiety issues. Cared for tiny Chihuahuas and Pugs, muscular dogs like Pit Bulls and Cane Corsos, and big old (130lb) love bugs like Tibetan Mastiffs. I am comfortable administering medication in food, crushed up in food, in a "meatball," in a pill pocket, or even applying topical medication. Picky eaters love my food games and after a few days with me, they are excited to eat (always happy to share my tricks with pet owners who are interested) I work remotely and have been providing in home pet care for the past 2 years. Always happy to have a cat cuddle up with me at night or to take a dog on a little weekend car adventure to a nearby walking trail where we can check out squirrels. I treat each home with care: no parties, no drugs, no drinking, no smoking. I'm also mindful to clean up after myself. A clean familiar space allows pets to feel at ease when their owners are away which allows us to connect faster. I am happy to have a pet sit on my lap, sit next to me, or just let them have as much space as they desire.
“Liana did such a great job being a sitter for my dog! Her calm demeanor and warmth made my dog comfortable with her instantly and feel safe with her in his space. She did a great job asking me questions and making sure she was informed on how best to care for my dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Alex was very very excellent with my sweet Triscuit! she was patient with her in her old age and very caring. Even though her energy level is way down being 16 by the end she was following around Alex like a puppy dog. highly recommended!”

“Lily was awesome! She took amazing care of Bailey and kept me updated with great photos and communication the entire time. Bailey absolutely loved her, which made everything even easier.

We highly recommend Jen and Liz (we already booked them again)!!”

About: Hi, I’m Emmett! I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years and have been the go-to caretaker for 8 regular client families. Dogs have always been part of my life. I grew up with a standard poodle and a mini poodle, so I’m a big fan of the big dog / small dog combo and comfortable with dogs of every size and energy level. I’ve lived in Topanga for the past year and a half and work part time for a local beekeeper. My flexible schedule lets me keep your dog’s routine consistent, from walks and feeding times to any medications, while you’re away. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going! I work part time for a local beekeeper, and the rest of the time I do freelance consulting from my computer at home. That means your dog has company most of the day and gets several walks. On beekeeping days I'm only gone for a few hours, and I keep my weekends open for pet care. I live in Topanga Canyon, a quiet, wooded community in the Santa Monica Mountains between the Valley and Malibu. My home is clean and dog-friendly. We share the canyon with wildlife like coyotes, hawks and rattlesnakes in the warmer months, so dogs are always leashed on walks and supervised outside, and small dogs are never left outside alone. I grew up with a standard poodle and a mini poodle and have about 3 years of experience on Rover.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Pacific Palisades is $63

Elena is amazing! She was wonderful with my cat, who has very specific food/care/medication needs. She was very detailed in making sure she had all the instructions right, and took a lot of care to make sure my cat was comfortable and happy with her. She sent lots of updates and so many cute photos! I would recommend her to anyone
Gwen is amazing with my 2 dogs. 1 is a very new puppy, and the other is an adult Husky. Both very different in size, energy level and personalities. Gwen was able to handle both of them with a lot of expertise and care. She's very responsive and reliable. Will definitely use her again. Thanks so much for taking such great care of my 2 pups!
Amanda took great care of Hobbes! From the very beginning she was very communicative and continued through out. She made sure to send pictures and updates while I was away.

Jonathan did a great job taking care of my dog Milo. I felt really comfortable on my trip knowing Milo was in good hands. He is very professional and knowledgeable about dog care. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I will definitely rebook with him for a future trip.
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!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pacific Palisades
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pacific Palisades is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $100 per night. 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 13,125 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 , 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 .
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 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.
