“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!”
“I am very grateful that I found JoAnne. The care that she provides to my senior chihuahua is unmatched. I appreciate the steps that she takes to make sure he is safe and comfortable. Thank you JoAnne!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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.”
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.
“Jennifer took such great care of our dog Benson and our house while we were on vacation. We got lots of updates and photos throughout the weekend and could tell he was in great hands. We will definitely book Jennifer again in the future for housesitting!”
“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!”
“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”
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.
“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.”
“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 am working a part time job right now so your pet will be my priority. I have grown up and taken care of pets (mostly dogs) my entire life. I have been dog sitting for friends and family since I was in middle school. I love animals and love being around them whether it is at a park, laying around the house or going on walks Im currently working part time. I have plenty of time for walks and to hang out with your pets. No need to worry about schedules as well as I am free to follow any schedule your pet needs I can spend time with your dog at a park or just hanging around the house. If you need someone to watch the dog during the day or at night I can do that as well.
“Erik was perfect with Odin. Followed all of my instructions, walked him, played with him, and worked on training. He made sure Odin was safe and well taken care of!”
“This was our second long term dogsitting experience with Mariel. She did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. 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.”
“Victoria was extremely attentive, communicative and wonderful. She left my house neat and tidy and took incredible care of my dog. I truly could not recommend her more.”
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”
“Ashley is so kind, trustworthy, very responsible and very knowledgable in caring for our dogs and our home! We are so grateful to Ashley and highly recommend her! Thank you Ashley and Rover!”

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!
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)
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!

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.

- 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.
