“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: I love animals and had dogs and cats growing up and throughout my life. I also have recent experience taking care of several cats and a friend's puppy and had a repeat client. You can count on me to treat your pets like they're my own! I have a flexible work from home job and am available on weekdays after 5:30pm and weekends all day. Depending on the distance, I may also be able to drop by in the mornings or lunch time. When in my client's home, I will be respectful and will follow all of the instructions provided to me. I will take care of your pet with love and kindness.
“Mariel was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog and home while we were away, sending plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates that kept us totally at ease. Our pup looked so happy and well loved in every photo, and we came home to a spotless house. We couldn’t recommend Mariel more highly, she’s reliable, kind, and clearly adores animals!”


About: Hi! I’m Alexis, a lifelong animal lover who knows how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, age, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who may need a little extra patience and attention. For puppies, I’m happy to keep up with frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, enrichment, and the routines and training you’re already working on at home. For older dogs, I’m comfortable adjusting activity levels, providing a little extra TLC, and following more detailed care routines. I’m also comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and keeping your pet company while you’re away. I can follow detailed care instructions and medication schedules, including administering routine oral and topical medications as directed by pet parents. My healthcare background has made me especially attentive to routines, instructions, and changes in behavior or well-being. I understand that some dogs want to be your instant best friend, while others need a little extra patience and time to warm up — I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. I take pet care seriously and will always treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to provide plenty of photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Whether you need walks, drop-in visits, medication support, puppy care, senior care, or simply someone to keep your dog company while you’re away, I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine, including specific feeding times, walks, medications, or other daily needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, and needs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and medication schedules, including administering routine oral and topical medications as directed. I’ll provide attentive, loving care, keep your pet’s environment clean and secure, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
“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: Growing up, my mom was taking in abused senior dogs from shelters and providing them their last years full of love and comfort in our home. My love for animals goes above and beyond than most! I own my own kitty right now that I spoil and call him my little prince and will treat anyone’s baby like my own when taking care of them. I’m currently working full time as a Human Resources Associate but I am fully remote. I find myself having extra time throughout the day that can be used to help others who need are in need of a sitter or walker! I care for mine and others pets by cleaning food and water bowls so they are fresh for every use, make sure they get plenty of exercise, they are in an environment where they feel safe, routine vet visits, lots of brushing, and a ton of love and affection!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and sizes, including my own two dogs, a senior and a young mutt. I’ve been trusted by family members to look after their pet’s making sure they eat well, get enough exercise and playtime. I love spending time outdoors especially with my dogs. I know the importance of having your pup out in the world not just for potty breaks but for mental stimulation as well so they can go home relax. I have a fairly flexible schedule. Early mornings, late nights, last minute bookings, weekdays or weekends with your pet will not disrupt my current routine. I understand that every dog has their own special needs to make them feel comfortable I always prioritize their safety for that. Let me know if there’s any special care your dog needs!
“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!”

“Tyler was excellent with our girl. Bella gets sad when we are not home but Tyler's patients and compassion with her helped her through it. I especially loved the updates with pictures; this help me relax knowing she was ok and in good hands. We will be using her again for sure.”

About: My Pet Care Journey My family always had a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to ferrets and racoons. While I have loved animals since I was a toddler , I bring over 20 years of dedicated, hands-on experience. This includes caring for family and friends pets and the privilege of sharing my life with my own dog for 17 beautiful years. Training & Connection My dog was my constant companion—joining me at college and every job I held. She was incredibly intelligent, and we had a unique bond; people often joked that she could understand human conversation. I trained her to do everything from giving high fives, hugs, and "volume-controlled" speaking, to solving puzzles and even climbing trees. I love engaging dogs with challenges and brain games to keep them mentally stimulated, not just physically tired. Our Rehabilitation Journey My deepest experience comes from the battles we fought together. When my 75lb dog suddenly became paralyzed after a dental cleaning, I dedicated myself to her recovery. Through patience and intense physical therapy, I successfully nursed her back to walking condition. When she faced a second, more severe episode later in life, we went right back to work with that same determination. I spent months managing her limited mobility, hygiene, and daily PT exercises. Although she eventually passed from gallbladder issues, those experiences taught me exactly what goes into complex care: the lifting, the mechanics of movement, and most importantly, the patience required to help a dog heal. My Approach Whether your dog needs a fun companion for hikes and brain games or a patient partner for recovery exercises, I provide the same level of devotion I gave my own best friend. Flexible & Available Since I am focusing on pet care full-time, I have great flexibility! I am available 7 days a week for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I can easily adjust to your dog's specific routine rather than trying to squeeze them into a tight schedule, and I'm often available for last-minute bookings. Peace of Mind My experience nursing my own dog through recovery taught me how to handle unexpected situations with a cool head. I know that safety is in the details. Mindful Care: I am detail-oriented when it comes to securing gates, doors, and harnesses, so you never have to worry. Medical Comfort: Because of my background with senior dogs, I am comfortable spotting if a pup isn't feeling well and knowing when to act. Reliable: I cared for my own dog for 17 years, rain or shine. You can count on me to show up on time and treat your home and pet with that same level of respect.
About: I have been a dog owner all my life from a little Maltese to a pitbull. Along with cats, rodents, and fish. I am willing to take care of anyone! I’ve been walking dogs for about three years outside of Rover but am now joining this app for new opportunities. Hope to meet you and your pet soon! I am currently a part-time worker, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and care! I have a big house with empty rooms and a backyard for your pet to explore. I am also open to taking your dog to the dog park or beach!
“Max loves it when Eliza comes to watch and stay with him. She takes the utmost care of him and our home when we are away. It's such a peace of mind knowing he is so well cared for. We LOVE getting all the pictures and updates too. She is our go to person!!”

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: I have many years of experience working a farm with dogs, dog sitting, and training dogs. I also love hiking and walking with dogs! I am very active and I like to bring pups with me. I have experience training dogs to walk well on leash, as well as a variety of basic commands, and working with livestock. I typically walk 4+ miles per day, so I’d love to have your dog join me to burn energy and gain more skills on the leash as well! I work part time with horses! My mornings and afternoons are generally free. I typically walk around the peninsula anyways! I’d love to add your pup to my walks. I have many years of pet-sitting experience. I am a responsible animal handler and I prioritize safety of the animals I care for, the environment, and myself.
“Amelia was a great house sitter. Our pup decided to forget that she’s potty trained and Amelia handled it with compassion, care and patience and we are grateful for that.”


About: I grew up with three dogs and my first job was working at a dog kennel. I ended up working there for 3 years during high school and have experience giving shots and medication to dogs. Once I moved to NYC, I started fostering puppies and ended up adopting one of them and he is the light of my life! I’d love to take care of your pup and make sure that they barely miss you! I work a remote job with flexible hours, so I have a lot of time to hang out with your pup and give them all the love! I have a porch and live right next to a nature trail, my dog is very friendly and loves to play so he’ll love the company.
“Julianna is always on time and very yuck to respond to texts. She plays non stop with our active dog and snuggles the less active dog. We are super thankful for her and her patience with the Aussie. Will continue to request Julianna any time she’s available. Our dogs just adore her.”


“Mia was lovely to work with and took excellent care of our girl! It helped a lot knowing she was in good hands. I got lots of updates on playtime and meals and walks, which was wonderful.”

“Eric was really great in how he handled to very different dogs; he was super good with a crazy energy little puppy who got to be very engaged with on dog walks and dog park time AND Eric was good managing a 14 year old trauma dog who is major SNARK. Eric got my old terrier to eat out of his hand .. that never happens. Much appreciated everything about his taking care of my dog family.”

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!

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

FAQs for House Sitting - Palos Verdes Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Palos Verdes Estates is $73 per night as of November 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 November 2026, there are 14,251 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palos Verdes Estates. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
