Such a wonderful experience with Victoria. We have a born blind dog and a senior pup and she was so understanding. We feel very comfortable with Victoria house/pup sitting for multiple days in a row. Very thankful we have Victoria in our pups lives!

Jack was amazing! This was my first time using this service and I was a bit nervous but he made me feel at ease when we met. He kept my pup happy and healthy and kept me updated with pictures and texts about how she was doing, when he was there, when he was leaving and just general updates. 10/10 would use Jack again for house sitting. Thank you!

About: Hi, I’m Fibie! I’m a 22-year-old nursing student who would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own. I have two dogs of my own—a 6-year-old terrier mix who is my best friend and loves to cuddle, and a playful 7-month-old American Bully who keeps me on my toes! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have experience caring for the pets of family and friends. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and my goal is to make pet care one less thing for you to worry about. Whether you’re busy, traveling, or simply need an extra hand, I’m here to provide your pets with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. I can’t wait to meet your pets, get to know their personalities, and make some new furry friends! I am a nursing student with a flexible schedule, offering reliable, loving pet care throughout the week and weekends, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times. My two dogs get regular walks and outdoor time in our secure, turf-covered backyard. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, including crate training if needed, or allow them to roam while I keep a close eye on them.

Sydney was absolutely incredible. She watched our dog, Cody, over Thanksgiving and we felt completely at ease with her staying in our home. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely knows what she’s doing with dogs. Her dog Riley stayed with Cody and the two of them became best friends—walking together, playing together, even napping side by side. Sydney handled their introduction perfectly and brought a doggie gate to make sure they were safely separated at first. Everything she did was thoughtful and professional. Cody is a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix and Riley is a Golden Retriever, and they got along beautifully thanks to Sydney’s calm, experienced approach. We’re so grateful for her care and will 100% use her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend Sydney!

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.

She took our 100lb+ energetic dog on multiple daily walks, gave him lots of company and playtime. Mariel was proactively in touch with us daily, with lots of photo and video updates. She also left our house in great shape. I highly recommend Mariel for dogsitting, plan to work with her again in the future.

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.

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.

Reina is an absolute Gem. this was our first time leaving our puppy with someone and after meeting Reina, she is the definition of taking the opportunity to take care of your pet very seriously. She was so dedicated to our Beau, detailed, respectful and communicative. He was her priority and it made it me feel at peace to know he was with her for 5 days. He's also a puppy and I really wanted to find someone that will continue the training, and she didn't miss a beat. She left our home spotless and beyond. Thank you Reina!! We feel very lucky to have found you <3

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Jasmine! She watched our dog and our home for a full six days, and she was absolute perfection. From day one, she was so gentle and wonderful with our 3 yr old corgi, he loved her right away. Jasmine is incredibly thorough, sending detailed updates with photos at every single mealtime and walk, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we came back, not only was our dog happy and well cared for, but our house was left in pristine condition. She is super responsible, and we would trust her to watch and walk our dog anytime. In fact, she was so fantastic that we've already had neighbors asking for her referral! She is local to the Redondo Beach area, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch, reliable pet care. Her photos skills are also great. I posted many pictures she sent of our dog Theo to his Instagram and his fans love them!

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 $72.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,325 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:

  • 90% 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.
