“Mark went above and beyond when caring for our pup Kato. He took him on multiple walks a day, played toys with him and sent us tons of pics to check in. We felt confident Kato was having an awesome time on his vacation while we were on ours! Mark was also super communicative and respectful in our home, leaving everything as it was before we left. We will definitely be reaching out to him again for more dog sitting! He's a gem!”
“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, ❤️”
“Elizabeth took great care of my dog and cat! She handled their quirks and various medication and food schedules perfectly. Will definitely book her services again in the future and would recommend to any family and friends!”
“Todd was great with our dogs for an overnight! We don’t travel without the dogs very often and it’s hard finding someone new, Todd was very easy going and dependable and made sure our dogs and home were well looked after. And on a holiday no less. Thank you Todd!”
“Sabrina is fantastic! Penny Lane was so happy, healthy and safe when we returned from our trip, and that is the sign we left her in great hands - Sabrina is thoughtful, and courteous; I looked forward each day to her daily photo updates while she was dog/apartment sitting with Penny :)”
About: I’ve been living with dogs and cats ever since high school and have always taken care of them, food, walk, rubs, you name it. I love my fur friends! I’m currently working remote, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Let me know what you / your pet need, happy to make things work :) As for my own home, apartment is pretty spacious for short stays for dogs or cats - I have a balcony area and my complex has yard space! As for a client’s home - I’m very clean and respectful, and will always make sure the pet is taken care off. With that being said, if there are throw ups and dirt coming back from a walk, always happy to clean up!
“Cashmere was a great fit for my big dog and our family. She came by ahead of time to meet our pup and get comfortable with his routine and her surroundings which was great. I received pictures and updates throughout our trip and she did a good job of pivoting in the crazy heat to play more n the backyard vs take him on longer walks which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend her without hesitation.”
“Liana was such a good sitter and friend to Karl!! Came in town for the weekend have never used Rover before so was a little bit nervous. We were also staying at an Airbnb. So it was a little bit of a complex situation seeing as how we came in town for an event on Sunday so we needed Liana all day but she made us trust rover and she was amazing with our corgi Karl, took him on a hike and showed him around town with our permission! Sent us pics and updates! We know he was well taken care of and had a great time exploring with Liana! Anytime we’re back in the area will def ask her again! Def recommend to any family or friend or any other paw parent!”
About: As a lifelong pet lover, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. While new to professional pet sitting, my personal experience includes caring for my own dogs, including a senior dog requiring daily medication. I’m dedicated to providing loving, attentive, and reliable care for your furry family members, ensuring their happiness and well-being while you're away Hi my name is Soleil! I love animals and have a 5 year old pug who’s very friendly and gentle. I work full-time, so I am available in the evenings and on weekends for pet sitting and dog walking services. Whether you need evening visits, weekend stays, or occasional check-ins, I can accommodate your schedule to ensure your pet receives the care they need. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your specific needs and arrange a convenient time. I treat my pets like family, providing them with love, care, and attention they deserve. From daily walks and playtime to ensuring they have a comfortable and safe environment, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. I extend the same level of care and dedication to the pets I look after, ensuring they feel loved and secure while you're away.
“Ban and Carlyn were amazing sitters. They house sat our two big dogs (90lbs and 60lbs) for a week. Before booking they came out for a quick meet and greet with the pups to see if it was a good match and the pups loved them right away. During their stay they were very communicative and got back to us in only a couple of mins. When we got back home the house was spotless and the pups were very happy. I would definitely recommend them to others.”
“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: 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!
“Kourosh is ery responsive and easy to work with. It was great having someone who is willing to stay overnight with my disabled, senior dog at a reasonable rate. It gets very expensive given I cannot board her so I really appreciate the peace of mind of having somebody in my home I can trust and who has patience with older dogs.”
“Tori was absolutely fantastic! Our puppy took to her straight away and she provided us tons of updates while we were gone. We had absolutely no concerns or worries leaving our home and our puppy in Dorie‘s care and would absolutely love to have her watch Scotti again in the future.”
“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!”
About: I’m experienced in caring for cats and dogs, young and old. Whether they require medication or extra attention, I can accommodate a spectrum of needs. I’m comfortable keeping up with those who require lots of energy, while respecting the space of more laid-back animals. I work from home and I'm able to offer lots of attention and affection throughout the day for the furry friends who want it. And can just be in space with those that prefer a more hands off approach. I'm incredibly flexible and can easily adapt to the routines and practices you've created for your pet and would like maintained while you're away from them.
About: I’ve owned dogs for the past decade and currently have a small 8 month old puppy named Sugar. She loves other dogs and is so playful. She’s very sweet and submissive, she loves big and small dogs of all sorts. I have an incredibly flexible schedule and I walk Sugar at least 4-5 times a day. She would love a pal to walk, hang, and play with throughout the day. I have a 1 bedroom apartment and a patio that’s puppy proof. My courtyard is gated for extra security and safety. I have no problem with dogs on the couch (I even have a mini staircase).
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I naturally connect with pets and understand their emotional needs, whether they need play, structure, or gentle comfort. I care for each animal as if it were my own, with warmth, patience, and a peaceful presence. My goal is that your pet feels completely safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’ll send photos and updates and make sure you feel confident every step of the way I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays :) I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes to keep pets in a familiar, low-stress environment. I’m very respectful of people’s space, follow all household rules, and make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and well-supervised. I maintain clean feeding areas, stick to your routines, send frequent updates, and treat your home with the same care I give to your pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pacific Palisades
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!
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!

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.
