“I really enjoy working with JoAnne. She takes amazing care of my senior chihuahua, following all of my instructions to make sure he is happy and safe. Her communication is fantastic as I ask for as many pictures as possible and she always delivers. I can tell JoAnne really cares about my pup and I really couldn’t ask for better care. I highly recommend her services if you are in need of someone to trust with your fur baby. Thank you JoAnne!”
“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!!”
“Reina was great with all of our animals. She is knowledgeable and attentive, and made sure we got lots of pictures and updates when we were away. She stayed at our place and was tidy and left our guest bedroom spotless. Would definitely hire again.”
“I’m a so happy we chose Ivy. She went over all our pet instructions and loved my fur babies . Ivy sent daily pictures and responded within minutes to any questions or concerns.. She went above and beyond taking care of my house in the process. I trust Ivy and look forward to another wonderful experience choosing Ivy. Thank you so much Ivy”
“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.”

“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.”

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!

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.

My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
“When I say, Haylee is amazing. I truly mean it. She was so informative and considerate of letting me know what was going on while she was cat sitting. And I love that she sent me pictures during the stay. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
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.
“Julia did such a great job taking care of our Lola! This was our first time using rover so we had been nervous to have someone new watching our dog, but Julia was really accommodating with us and having her meet Lola beforehand was so helpful and made us feel much more comfortable. Julia sent us lots of photos and gave updates each day that made us feel at ease that Lola was doing great. Highly recommend her!”
“Amelia was fantastic with my 3 kitties, one of whom is 20 years old & requires extra attention! She sent me photos and updates, asked questions when something was unclear & stayed in communication while I was out of the country. Definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“Quite literally the angel from heaven. We had booked a sitter for Chico well in advance of a week long trip to Hawaii. A few days before we left, they cancelled. As parents of a dog baby know, we started to get anxious and nervous that we wouldn’t find anyone. Up stepped Christina. Thanks to her availability and on short notice, she took the job and did it wonderfully. Our pup was well taken care of, getting walks, fed and loved for the week. Couldn’t recommend her more!!”
“Scarlett is awesome and a total lifesaver for me and my new rescue dog, Bonnie, and was able to spend time at my place for a few days while I traveled. Bonnie is very new to me and learning to trust new people, and so requires some patience. Scarlett is so knowledgeable and understanding, and took extra care to make sure Bonnie was comfortable and feeling confident! I’m so grateful. Scarlett also took great care of my place, leaving it super clean and was wonderfully communicative.”
“Brittney was great! She even came by a couple times beforehand to meet Luna. She was very sweet and friendly and knowing that our dog quickly warmed up to her says a lot! She was great with getting her out of the house on walks and spent quality time with her. We would definitely work with Brittney again!”
About: My previous experience was primarily in vet medicine by being a vet technician. I've cared for puppies and kittens all the way to their golden senior years. I've been by their side through happy events to some anxious times, and provided calm through it all. I can provide a safe and calming environment for pets. I also have personal experience with having a dog and cat of my own. Most of my availability is Friday-Monday. I can pet sit overnight, or make a check-in during the day. Please let me know at least two days in advance with information on your loved fur-baby, so I can be prepared and make accommodations for them. I will care for your pets as I do mine. Sometimes they come up for pets and cuddles, other times they require space. I will acknowledge their needs and try to understand their body language to bridge the language barrier. Also, if they need play time, require more attention, or have anxiety, I can accomodate.
“Ilise was great! She cared for my fur babies as if they were her own. My dog Toots brought her a toy to play with and she usually does this when she happy! She followed all my instructions and my dogs loved her! She left my house clean too! I would definitely use her again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember; I’ve had several of all sizes throughout my life, and they were like siblings to me. I love dogs of all kinds; wherever I go, they seek me out, greet me, and let me pet them. I think that’s a great sign that I connect with them. I am a freelance videographer and video editor. I set my own schedule, so at any moment I can pause my editing work to go walk dogs or look after my son's cat when he travels. Yes, often. I take two dogs for a walk every day; I've been doing it for years, and babysitting my son's cat when he travels.
“Brooke was amazing from the first time she entered my house to meet my dog Lily. Lily took a liking to her right away which is not normal for my little girl. Brooke provided feedback on to how the stay was progressing and sent pictures with updates. Brooke just seemed so natural with my animals and she was beyond professional , arriving on time , asking appropriate questions and leaving my house very clean. I will definitely be booking Brooke again!”

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 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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 14,275 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 , 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 .
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.
