“Victoria was so kind to accept a fairly last minute request to watch my puppy. She’s very patient, kind, always punctual, and clearly great with animals because my pup has been obsessed with her since meeting - which tells me all I needed to know!”
“JoAnne is such a wonderful dog sitter. Our dog, Callie, loves her and is very comfortable with her. All the photos and updates were reassuring. We will try to book JoAnne for any future dog sitting needs! She is the best!”
About: My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved & cared for. I also want you to feel at total ease if you need to leave them and allow me to care for them. I know what it’s like to want the best for your pet. I’m a 4th grade teacher starting my second year teaching! My availabilities are generally weekends throughout the day and weekdays after 4/4:30. Pet care is an important part of my routine with my 12 year old Maltipoo. We go on night walks, quick morning strolls & if I’m ever off for the day, we love to go on fun, adventurous car rides. My dog, Pogo, always stays with one of my parents if I’m at work or away. Due to all of our schedules, he is never alone, so he is taken to the bathroom regularly. I like to keep him active & engage with him, allowing him to have the fullest enjoyment. That said, I carry the same actions when pet sitting. They receive full attention from me, because I know how crucial it is for pets to feel loved, especially when their pet parent is away.

“Gabby was great! She followed all of our instructions, sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, and went above and beyond making our dogs feel comfortable and loved while we were away. She played with our dogs favorite toys and relaxed with them throughout her stay. She let us know if she left the house and when she would be back. She kept the house clean, which was nice to come back to. This was our first time using Gabby but not the last. We will definitely be using her again! Thank you, Gabby!”
“Elizabeth was amazing!! She was extremely thorough, and was giving constant updates and pictures while we were out. She went above and beyond to make sure Max was loved and cared for. I had no doubts that Max and our home were in great care, and that kind of feeling is priceless.”
“Andrea is a great companion for our dogs when we go out of town. She is a great communicator and lets us know how they're doing throughout our time away. She is also very respectful of our home and leaves it in excellent condition. Highly recommend her services!”

“Henry was more than satisfactory. He really listened to our needs for our doggies. He even came early one day to help out! Very prompt/attentive. We came home to very happy and healthy dogs. One of them has special needs (pills) and he handled that beautifully. We would trust Henry to watch our dogs anytime.”
“Courtney was so wonderful to have pet sit/house sit for us. She followed all my instructions and was very reliable. I would definitely book her again. My dog seemed very comfortable with her and that is so important to me. I highly recommend.”
“Carolyn totally took care of my special needs 15 year old honey bunny Sonny. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Sonny is a bit high maintenance with his health and Carolyn met all his needs. She was active in communicating and let me have some peace of mind while I was away for work. House and pup were great when I got back. Sonny and I thank you Carolyn and we are so greatful.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and needs. My experience includes cats, puppies, large and extra large dog breeds, crate training, senior pets, administering medication, and supporting dogs through serious health challenges, including cancer. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and receiving attentive care while you’re away. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. I own my own home in the CA and understand the importance of having someone trustworthy care for both your pets and your property. I will treat your home with the same respect and attention that I give my own. Whether your pets need active playtime, medication management, extra patience, or simply a loving presence, I’m committed to providing reliable care and giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve used Rover many times for my own past pets and have always had a great experience with sitters. As a business owner in LA, I work remotely and have a flexible daily schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks and care throughout the day. Pet sitting fits naturally into my life and gives me the joy of having animals around while I am not yet ready to adopt again. I own my home so I understand how important it is to care for your pets in your home. I always requested sitters to stay in my home with my pets as I understand how important is it for them to feel safe and comfortable while your away.
About: We have both cared for dogs and cats of all ages since we were both young. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted us to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they are away. We are comfortable with different temperaments routines, and energy levels, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and attention. We treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while you are gone. We have also cared for both senior animals and are able to administer medication. We are a couple that own a mobile coffee cart business. Trying to get our business up and running while taking care of animals on the side! You booking us helps support our dream! We always follow the pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. We keep a clean, calm environment and closely monitor pets for safety at all times. In a client’s home, we respect their space and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. We prioritize gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and clear communication with pet parents so they always feel confident their pet is in good hands.
“Victoria was awesome! She was just what our pups needed while we were away and we felt very safe with her staying in our home. I hope that we found our go-to sitter when we travel in the future!!”
“We needed a last minute sitter and Tyler was immediately responsive! Tyler was caring, punctual, responsible, and communicative. We were reassured that our pets and our house were in the best care! Tyler was a great house sitter and we recommend Tyler to anyone.”
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand that leaving your pet can be difficult. I am here to ease your mind with detail and care. I am currently studying and working remotely so I just have some set hours of work I need to do, but I can still keep an eye on your pets I can and will follow any and all instructions for your pets and home. I am responsible and respectful while also very caring towards your pets.
About: I am a dedicated weekend volunteer at a dog shelter, where I work hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes basic obedience training, socialization, and leash handling, as well as administering various types of medications. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs, from small breeds to a 180-pound Great Dane and a 100-pound Cane Corso puppy. I’ve also provided care for dogs with special needs, including one with only three legs. In addition to my volunteer work, I have two small dogs of my own, which has further strengthened my understanding of canine behavior and care. I am passionate about animal welfare and committed to providing every dog with the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I am currently a college student so currently i dont have any pet responsibilities. But, i've grown up surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, which has given me a deep understanding and love for working with them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs, from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, and even dogs with disabilities who need a little extra patience and care. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walk schedules, and any special care your pet needs. I keep the space clean, secure, and calm, and I always spend quality time giving them attention, affection, and exercise. I also make sure to keep you updated with daily photos and messages for peace of mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palos Verdes Estates
Jo has watched our pets now a handful of times and each time has been amazing! Our dog has pretty severe allergies and Jo did such a great job making sure she was very well taken care of, and the allergies were kept at bay. She sends such great updates/photos to let us know they’re happy while we’re gone. We always look forward to having Jo watch Finley and Luna, and can’t wait to continue having her watch them in the future!
Adam and Layla took great care of our 2 dogs. One is a senior w/ health conditions (needs meds) and the other is a punky, energetic youngster. The sitters asked smart questions if something wasn't clear. The dog's area and the home were clean when I returned. Trustworthy, responsible sitter. Nice all around.
We were out of town for two weeks on vacation and Madison did a fantastic job with house sitting. Great communication, details on concerns and the house was very clean when we came back. Madison even went out of her way to take our dog to the vet for a quick recheck of an injury. Our pup was in very good hands! Highly recommend!
Sophie is the best! She is very responsive, sends us updates, and a very nice person! Our dog Theo loves her and she cared for him so well. I was nervous booking a sitter because it’s our first time to ever leave our puppy for a long time and she definitely made us feel at ease that she is a reliable and nice person. We will definitely book her again. I highly recommend her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jack was beyond wonderful with our very sassy yet loving Cavapoo, Coconut. We were a bit weary about this process and weren’t sure what to expect but meeting Jack for the first time along with how he took care of our precious Coconut quickly dissolved any of those apprehensions. He was so timely, attentive, detail-oriented and loving towards Coconut.He demonstrates good judgment and is so kind and considerate. We just really appreciated him. Thank you so much, Jack. We are so grateful to you!!
Julia was absolutely fantastic with our dog Charlie. She stayed with him at our house and everything was perfect. He can be a bit demanding sometimes, and Julia was extremely patient and living with him. Her communication was spot on. We revived many updates and photos during our trip. I would 100 percent recommend Julia
Jordan went above and beyond the call of duty. She was absolutely fantastic and I know that our dog Kobe was in the best of hands during my conference meeting. Thank you for all your flexibility and Kobe. Thank you very much. Wonderful, dependable and so caring..
Callie is a very caring and kind pet sitter. I contacted her last minute and she was careful to follow me instructions. My dog was a recent rescue that had fear issues and Callie won her over. I received daily updates and videos and pictures of Bunny doing her daily routine. Callie really understood Bunny’s needs and helped her bloom while I was away. She helped with a few household things and I appreciate that. I will definitely be using her again.
Andrea came and stayed with Hattie for the first time and it couldn’t have gone better. Andrea was very intuitive with Hattie and her needs. She was a great communicator, which is a stress reliever for me when I can’t be there. And most importantly Hattie loved her!! Thanks Andrea. Until next time!!
Gabby provided exceptional care for our dog. From our initial meeting, her professionalism and thoroughness were immediately apparent; she asked insightful questions that covered details we hadn't even considered. We truly appreciated the consistent updates and photos she shared throughout the stay. Upon our return, our home was in pristine condition. Furthermore, the training tips she provided have already proven effective. We are incredibly pleased and will definitely be booking her services again!
Kerry was phenomenal. Her pet sitting with us was a true adventure (from the wrong keys being left with an ensuing multi hour debacle to get in, to a dog managing to hide herself in a closed closet from NYE fireworks.) She won over Hazel after the challenging start, kept her company and was so patient and kind with our sweet but special dog. I would absolutely recommend Kerry for any pet, but especially for those like ours who have some unique needs despite being a velcro hippo once she trusts you!
Judy is incredible - we are so grateful to have found her and leave our two dogs in her care over the holidays while we traveled. She is reliable, very communicative, and cares deeply for animals and their individual personalities. We couldn't have asked for anyone more qualified and invested in improving certain behaviors (that we discussed and agreed needed attention) and we are so happy to come home to happy, better behaved pups! We have always had wonderful experiences with our previous dogsitters, but Judy definitely goes above and beyond. We will absolutely continue working with Judy in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Palos Verdes Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palos Verdes Estates on Rover is $70.74 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 14,202 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palos Verdes Estates. 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 Palos Verdes Estates 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 Palos Verdes Estates 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 Palos Verdes Estates 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 Palos Verdes Estates. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
