About: As a lifelong pet lover, I make sure every pet in my care feels comfortable, happy, and part of the family. Because I’m home full time, your pets will receive plenty of playtime, love, cuddles, and personalized attention. I take the time to understand each pet’s special personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. My number one priority is your pet’s safety and wellbeing and I create a calm, secure, and loving environment. I have experience working with a variety of behavioral needs and can also administer medication if needed. For your peace of mind, I have full coverage insurance and I don’t take in more than two outside dogs for daycare or boarding at one time so each one receives individual, personalized care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, older, or needs extra reassurance, I’ll provide patient, loving care customized to their needs. Your pets will enjoy all of the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you are away! Since I’m home full-time, your pets will receive plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love. With Palisades Park and the beach a few blocks away, your dog will have plenty to explore! Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a secure, pet friendly space with toys and cozy places to relax, and I closely supervise playtime and interactions. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. I also keep owners updated and respond promptly to any concerns, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and love working with both dogs and cats of all personalities. I grew up with three dogs—two rescues (including a foster we ended up keeping) and one puppy—and regularly handled their care, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ve also been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since middle school, so I’m very comfortable stepping into different routines and making pets feel at ease. I’m especially experienced with cats. I raised two stray kittens growing up—one I helped bottle-feed—and in college I fostered a very shy, formerly stray cat. With patience and consistency, he became incredibly affectionate and is now my own cat who sleeps next to me every night. I pay close attention to body language and always respect each pet’s boundaries, whether they’re energetic, anxious, or need a little extra time to warm up. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very responsive, reliable, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I’m currently a part-time student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. While I’m not available for overnight stays, I’m very flexible during the day and can accommodate multiple visits if needed. I’m also very responsive and happy to help with last-minute requests when possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, routine, and making pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, especially with shy or anxious pets, and I always respect their boundaries. I make sure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure at all times during walks and visits. I treat every home with care and respect, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I have been walking my corgi since I was 12 as well as my aunt's Grand Pyrenees since I was 16! (so some experience with big dogs haha) I also have recent experience walking a 7 year old corgi named Bruin (in my pics!) twice a day for two weeks for two times, and sitting for a maine coon and pomeranians, even though my Rover is new! I love all types of dogs and furbabies of all kinds, I'd love to meet yours! I have a very flexible schedule and can work in both West Los Angeles and South Orange County! All I need is to know in advance but I can be available anytime! I'm happy to follow each pet's needs and instructions that make them feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and following their routine, making sure they have a fun time too! I'm also respectful of your home and will keep everything clean and secure.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep passion for their care. From a Yellow Lab to a fluffy white Coton, I've lovingly cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Working entirely from home, dog sitting is the ideal role for me, allowing me to be available and flexible to accommodate any schedule or pet size. I pride myself on being more than just a sitter—I'm a devoted companion, fully attentive to each dog's unique needs. I have been taking care of my family's dog for two months while my parents have been traveling. We are sad to see Nugget go and want to continue having furry babies around. I work entirely from home, which means I'm available throughout the week to look after your beloved pups! If your puppy requires more personalized attention or a quieter and safer environment than what a doggy daycare offers, I'm the perfect fit for you. My flexible schedule allows me to easily take your dog for walks, engage in playful activities, or provide a relaxing environment for rest and rejuvenation. I have experience caring for senior dogs, providing them with the specific accommodations they need, such as administering medication and assisting with mobility.

About: Growing up on a farm created my love for animals and attention to their care at an early age. I know the importance of keeping animals in their routine and giving them attention, companionship, and exercise. I love taking my pooch out for walks and would do the same for yours! I’m currently working from home on a personal business so I have flexibility for play and walk times throughout the day. My dog has a twice a day eating routine and we never miss her preferred eating hours 😅 There’s always a water dish set up and dental treats within reach. My pooch has her special nest next to my bed at night. Happy to set up a crate or bed for your pup. Pre-bed time walks are a favorite for us.

About: I’m originally from New Zealand and have recently moved to Santa Monica. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, including Labradors and German Shorthaired Pointers, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I have years of experience dog walking and caring for dogs, including staying in owners’ homes while looking after their dogs. I’m comfortable keeping dogs company, maintaining their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m friendly, reliable and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m an active person and love getting outside for walks, whether your dog enjoys a relaxed stroll around the neighbourhood or a longer walk to burn off some energy. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’d love to meet your dog and give them plenty of attention, exercise and affection while you’re away! I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to adjust my day around your dog’s needs. I can be flexible with walks, drop-ins and house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine and schedule. I’m extremely reliable, trustworthy and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I have worked as a pet sitter and nanny for several years, and have built strong, long-lasting relationships with the families I’ve worked with. I understand that leaving your pet and home in someone else’s care requires a lot of trust. I take that responsibility seriously and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines, and will treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I previously provided pet care through Rover years ago and I am excited to recently be back! I also worked at PetSmart as an Animal Care Specialist and have been dog walking and pet sitting since college. I regularly care for dogs and cats for friends and family and treat every pet like my own. Growing up, I had a cat who lived to the amazing age of 22, a dog, and many fish, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’d love to give your pet the same love, attention, and care while you’re away! ❤️ I am available on Mondays, Fridays and weekends. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I’m available anytime after 6:00 pm. My hybrid work schedule gives more flexibility. I have a big open spaced apartment that gives plenty of space. I live in a very walkable, dog-friendly area. I see people walking their dogs every day! :)

About: What sets me apart is my experience with large dogs and the fact that I've been on both sides of pet ownership. I owned and personally trained two Shepherds, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and reading a dog's body language. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, maintaining routines, reinforcing basic training, and making sure each dog feels safe and comfortable. Since then, I’ve regularly cared for friends’ dogs through house-sitting and pet-sitting, treating every dog as if they were my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give every dog plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while giving owners complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I intentionally make time for walks, play, feeding, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I enjoy being active, so daily walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to. I also understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal schedule, whether that means meal times, medication, crate routines, or simply sticking to their favorite walking route. I believe dogs are happiest when they have consistency, companionship, and plenty of attention, and I make it a priority to provide all three while they're in my care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, make sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime, and give them the attention and affection they're used to. I also keep their environment clean, respect the owner's home, and send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. If I'm caring for a pet in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship while closely following any instructions regarding feeding, medications, or routines. Every dog is different, and I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs.

I am happy to send frequent photo updates to keep you connected! My schedule is very open and adaptable! My schedule is open enough to easily handle daytime drop-ins and walks.

About: About Me: Hi, I’m Lucinda! I provide small-group, in-home dog boarding in Pacific Palisades for families in Brentwood, Santa Monica, Malibu, and surrounding West LA areas. Why Dogs (and Owners) Love Staying Here 🐾 Intentionally small group setting 🌿 Large, fully fenced private yard 🧠 Experienced with high-energy and anxious dogs ❤️ Individualized attention, never a kennel environment Caring for dogs isn’t just what I do, it’s what I love. My goal is simple: when you’re away, your dog feels completely safe, engaged, and cared for, not “boarded.” The Environment: Dogs have access to a large, secure backyard where they can run and play on natural grass. Inside, the home is engaging and structured so dogs who need attention or routine feel supported. Special Experience: • Large breeds • High-energy dogs • Dogs with mild anxiety • Pups who need confidence-building or are "still learning" Every dog is treated like family, with consistency and affection so they feel secure while you’re away. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re safe, engaged, and happy. — Lucinda I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Walks outside in nature, structured playtime in the large yard, rest breaks, and meals are part of a steady routine so dogs feel secure and settled. Your pet is never left alone for long stretches and always has supervision and engagement. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I host so every pup receives focused supervision and individualized attention. I follow each dog’s regular routine closely — including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and bedtime habits, so they feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Pacific Palisades

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pacific Palisades on Rover is $35.52 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 18,119 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pacific Palisades. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pacific Palisades stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 Pacific Palisades. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
