“Jo is amazing. Such a kind soul who loves what she does and was willing to spend the time to get to know our pets and all their quirks. Highly recommend her. 🙏”
“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!”
“I would give Brooke 10 stars if it were an option. She was extremely attentive, communicative, reliable, and so sweet to my kitty. She also took great care of my place in my absence and left it better than she found it. Cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Jasmine did an amazing good house sitting for me! she kept my home clean and was very attentive to my animals. I would recommend her for any dog sitting/walking, thanks!”
About: Hi! I'm an experienced and dependable pet sitter with over 10 years of pet-sitting experience and 20+ years of caring for cats, dogs, and fish. I offer overnight stays, drop-in visits, walks, playtime, and can administer oral medications when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always provide patient, personalized care to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I treat every pet like they're my own and strive to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout the day. I can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. Whether it's daily care or a consistent weekly routine, I have the flexibility to ensure pets receive reliable, loving care and are never left alone for long periods. I am not currently hosting pets in my home, but I am happy to provide care in your home where your pet is most comfortable. I follow your pet's regular routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
“Katherine was fantastic. She was punctual and professional and she kept me up to date on the pups over the long weekend while I was out of town. She sent a number of photos and took excellent care of my two dogs. I would highly recommend Katherine, and I will certainly have her help me out again in the future.”
“Andrew was an outstanding house and pet sitter . She sent me updated pics and let me know what the dog and birds were doing. She was very professional and left my house in great shape. Andrea is also very flexible. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Gwen came to our rescue last minute when we found out our dog had kennel cough and was unable to go to kennel. She took amazing care of our high energy 5 month old puppy and our home. Highly recommend Gwen to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Brittney was great! We booked her last minute but she was accountable, and super kind with our animals. She proactively sent us pictures of the pets and we felt very safe with her staying in our house and giving them love. We will definitely book her again when we go on a trip”
“Andrew was great! He stayed with our Violet overnight and kept her fed and walked. She is typically a nervous pup so I was worried about leaving her with someone, but she seemed happy and content when we returned. Our internet went out the whole time Andrew was here, and he was very easygoing about it. We would definitely have him back!”
About: I have grown up with pets and have enjoyed learning and experiencing different personalities. With my hands-on experience your furry friend is in capable and caring hands. I specialize in small to medium-sized dogs, but my recent experience with larger breeds has expanded my horizons, though I'm quite selective and open to it only if they're exceptionally well-behaved. My approach to pet sitting is all about creating a comfortable space for your pet to ensure they feel safe and cared for even when you're not at home with them. I understand that every pet is unique and requires individualized attention, which is why I tailor my care to suit their needs and why I only accept 1 client household at a time. I try to accommodate your pet's schedule so that they don't have to experience too much change at once. This includes sticking to exercise regimens, feeding schedules, potty breaks and bedtimes. I work remotely full-time which means I have flexibility in my schedule. Additionally, I try to maintain an active lifestyle which includes running and hiking. When onboarding a new client, I make sure that I understand the pet's schedule and preferences. Additionally, I make sure to understand any boundaries the pet should adhere in the client's home including yard space or even areas in the house. I do a walkthrough with the client so I know what areas may pose a safety concern such as gates and fences. I try to understand the pet's behavior in different scenarios such as when the door bell rings or if a neighborhood dog approaches during walks. I also make sure I have emergency numbers and the location of the closest animal hospital. For client's ease of mind , I provide pictures and updates as needed on the pet.
“Scarlett is outstanding! We booked her for 10-days housesitting. She took great care of our 2 large dogs. One is a mellow senior with medical issues, the other a hyper 1yo. Juggling the 2 so different dogs is not an easy task, but Scarlett did it well and attended to all their needs. The dogs loved her! Scarlett is by far the best sitter we booked through Rover, and we had many fine ones. I trust her 100%.”
“Thanks to Chloe for caring for my cat, Neko, and my turtle and snail. My pets are high maintenance and Chloe followed all my instructions even a last minute change when I had to house my snail separately. I came home to happy pets after my trip.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me to check on, feed, walk and play with their pets. What sets me apart is my professional background in 4-star luxury hospitality and corporate office coordination. Because of this experience, I bring absolute reliability, meticulous attention to detail, and deep respect for your home security and privacy. I am highly responsible and comfortable following strict feeding schedules, tracking specific dietary needs, administering medications or managing energetic walks. Whether your pet needs high-energy midday walks or gentle and attentive care, I focus entirely on keeping them safe, happy and loved while you are away. I operate with a highly flexible weekly schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate midday walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting assignments. I have excellent availability on weekends as well as open windows on weekdays to adjust to your pet's precise care routines. I am dedicated to maintaining strict schedule compliance so your pets are not left waiting. Safety and trust are my absolute highest priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all specific household rules, gate protocols and security instructions down to the smallest detail. I maintain a highly observant eye on environmental safety during neighborhood walks, check for secure leashes, and strictly avoid interaction with unfamiliar animals. I also provide real-time updates and clear photo check-ins after every visit so you have total peace of mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palos Verdes Estates
We just booked with Brooke, who happened to be our very first pet sitter we’ve ever hired - and it’s been 10 years with our pup 😂😅 we had an incredible experience with Brooke! She helped keep our senior dog company & watched our home while we left town on a VERY last minute trip. I booked her within 24 hours of leaving for the trip and she responded instantly and followed all the directions for our senior dog’s care, to a T. She kept our home clean & tidy, offered to do laundry?! And was a great house guest. We’re new to the area & don’t have friends or family close by… let alone someone we’d trust our senior dog with! Was so grateful to have found Brooke and no longer feel like we have nobody to turn to if an emergency arises again. Will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future!
Jasmine was wonderful watching my pups on my first longer out of town trip! I’m so grateful that she held things down at the house while I was across the country. She kept me updated with regular pictures and was attentive to detail. Will absolutely be re-booking asap
Ye Young did an amazing job housesitting our dog and cat! I felt like she gave them the best care possible. My dog is anxious and takes time to warm up, and I am thankful Ye Young was gentle and patient with her! She also kept us updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated!
Katherine was fantastic. She was punctual and professional and she kept me up to date on the pups over the long weekend while I was out of town. She sent a number of photos and took excellent care of my two dogs. I would highly recommend Katherine, and I will certainly have her help me out again in the future.
Victoria was fantastic! She was so good at taking care of Aspen for us while we were away, keeping us up to date and taking good care of our home. We definitely hope to have her back to watch Aspen again soon (and Aspen hopes so too, she gave him lots of good snuggles)
Lynzie was great. She kept us updated with cute photos and kept the house in great shape. She was also very responsive and responsible. She offered to go the extra mile with respect to things around the house. It was very helpful. We were gone for a while and she made everyting much easier. We would definitely use her again.
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

The average cost of House Sitting in Palos Verdes Estates is $73 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $115 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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.

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.
