About: I have owned pets my whole life and have a passion for taking care of furry friends! I began sitting for friends and neighbors when I was really young and grew up helping my grandmother and aunt who both ran their own doggy daycare and sitting businesses. I am well versed in dog walking, stopping in to check on pups, and overnight stays. While I am most experienced in smaller to medium sized dogs I have watched over all types of breeds and I am confident in taking care of any dog! I currently have a part time job that only takes up about 6-7 hours a week. I am extremely flexible and available early mornings and late nights. Pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I make sure to create a clean, safe, and comfortable environment to make sure your dog feels at home. I am extremely attentive and take care instructions very seriously. I will always ensure that your dog receives the right amount of supervision, exercise, and affection!

We booked Stephanie for drop-in visits for our two high-energy dogs. She was punctual, made sure they got their energy out, and sent us great photos. We came home to a happy, tired pups and will definitely book her again!

Griffin already misses Stephanie! What a week they had together and Stephanie took such good care of Griffin. Loved the reports and pictures and helped me feel relaxed on my trip knowing Griffin was so happy. Also, Griffin is a senior dog and really appreciate that he can stay at home and have such good care since boarding at a facility is very hard on him.

About: Hi there! I've spend the past 11 years caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities - from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. Through my own experience with my two French Bulldogs, I've learned how to provide patient, attentive care while adapting to each dog's unique needs and routines. Whether it's an adventurous walk, a game of fetch, or simply keeping your dog company while you are away, my goal is to make every visit a positive and stress-free experience. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved and well cared for. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so that you can havae peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾 I recently graduated high school with high distinction. I comitted to the University of Denver on a soccer scholarship/academic scholarship; however, I have decided to take a GAP year to chase my dream of becoming a professional soccer player. I am currently a professional player for Ventura County FC - the Los Angeles Galaxy's second team. I typically have training everyday from 7-1:30, but have afternoons and evenings available most days. Our games typically fall on Saturday evenings - home and away. However, if you need me to on a Saturday evening while I am away, I also have a sister and a brother who can cover for me. My sister is a pre-med graduate from the University of Iowa and interviewing for medical schools. My brother is in high school and is also competitive soccer player who has the same love for animals as I. I always make sure to communicate clearly and plan ahead to give every pup the time and attention they deserve! 🐶 When caring for pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I stick to their regular feeding schedule, give them plenty of attention and affection, and make sure they get outside for bathroom breaks as needed. I always keep a close eye on them to ensure they’re happy and secure — whether we’re relaxing indoors or heading out for some fresh air. 🐾 I am excellent at giving each owner an update on their pet so you also know that your pet is in good hands.

Ginny was so kind and sweet with my cat! My cat gets lonely when I’m away so I mainly needed someone to come play with her for a while everyday. When I got back, my cat was noticeably less lonely and Ginny was great about sending photos and letting me know how my cat was doing everyday! Highly recommend!!

About: I previously volunteered for a greyhound adoption agency in Australia where I gained hands-on experience caring for retired greyhounds, including those with anxiety. Before moving to the U.S I also had my own greyhound and successfully transitioned her to apartment living, so I understand the unique needs of the breed. I currently work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m often available on short notice and can adjust my availability to suit your needs. I’m tall and confident handling larger dogs, and I approach every animal with patience, gentleness, and care. Your pets will be treated well and will always be in safe, loving hands. I currently work and study remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m often available on short notice and can adjust my availability to suit your needs. I am Tall so I can handle bigger dogs. I’m gentle, cautious and caring with all animals I care for. Your fur babies are in great hands.

About: I’m a life-long animal lover and Pomeranian pet sitting was my first job as a kid. Since then I’ve earned 5 stars on Trusted Housesitters and expanded into horse and farm care as well. I’ve studied +R (positive reinforcement) training and can help you stay consistent with your dog’s training and positive socialization. I currently work part time locally, but my days and hours change week to week (other than having Mondays off), so I really appreciate advance booking! I love getting to know each dog’s personality and their likes and dislikes, habits & routines. When I walk with a dog, I always tune into what they’re in the mood for and I know that it’s important to allow dogs to get lots of sniffing in as well as getting exercise and “taking care of business.”

About: Hello! My husband and I are both veterinarians from Russia. We decided to stay in the U.S. after the war began. While we’re confirming our veterinary licenses, we both work as veterinary technicians at the hospital. My specialty is veterinary rehabilitation. I help animals recover after surgery, improve mobility in neurological cases, and support pets with injuries, arthritis, and hip dysplasia so they can move better and feel more comfortable. I’ve lived with animals all my life, my mother taught me to treat any living creature with love, empathy, and understanding. I’m also passionate about animal behavior and always pay close attention to each dog’s unique personality, walking pace, and comfort level during walks. I’d be truly happy to care for your pet and make every walk calm, safe, and enjoyable I work full-time at a veterinary clinic, but I’m happy to help with walks during my free hours and weekends. My schedule can be flexible. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, keep a calm environment, and pay attention to every detail. I treat every dog as if they were my own.

Courtney did an amazing job with our little Maltese Teddy. It was his first time being left at home and he can be quite nervous around new people. Courtney came twice a day to feed and walk Teddy and reassured us with notes and photos that all was well. Highly recommend Courtney’s service and would use her again and again. THANK YOU!!!

About: I have always loved working and playing with animals! For many years I volunteered at the dog adoption days every Saturday at PetSmart. My chores around the house involve both bathing and walking my dogs. I have walked and hosted both my cousins dogs and my next door neighbor’s. I love working out and getting outdoors, so dog walking is a perfect way to do that as well as benefiting the dog too. My schedule is super flexible, especially because I am a grad student with very few classes and all of them are online. Some of the things I like to do in my free time involve running, swimming, crafting, baking, hanging with friends, and eating. Being around and playing with animals immediately makes me happy! I am very flexible with my schedule and would be willing to dog sit and dog walk accordingly to needed days and times. Thank you! I walk my dogs according to their need and feed at certain times a day. I love playing fetch and giving attention to all dogs and cats.

About: I have been working in the veterinary field for a year now. I am experienced in dogs and cats of all temperament. I have 2 dogs and a cat, both of my puppies are seniors now. I do great dogs of all ages, with different care needs. I love to stay active so long walks are no problem. If your puppy is more of a couch pup, snuggling up with them is a hobby of mine. I'm currently a full-time student studying biochemistry in pursuit of becoming a veterinarian; I work part time at a local preventive care veterinary clinic. I am pretty flexible overall so I am happy to work with you to figure out the perfect schedule for us. I am very respectful of your own home. I understand that it's your space so I won't ever make myself too homey unless given permission. I always try to integrate my pets' needs with my routine. Staying active is important to me so I'll walk my dogs frequently and snuggle with them when it's studying time. I've taken care of animals my whole life, not only cats and dogs but also reptiles. I have gained some knowledge and understanding of animal behavior so your dogs will be happy and satisfied with me.

Gabby has a great understanding of canine/human dynamics and used that skillset to deliver an outstanding visit with our dogs. Being the first time watching them (Carson & Charlie) in our/their home space, she immediately gained the dog's trust and then expanded the relationship by playing games with them (chase, fetch, etc.). She took them on a pleasant walk through the neighborhood, something both dogs enjoyed very much. Throughout the visit Gabby kept us informed via pictures and videos, which alleviated any pet-parent anxiety we might have had. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabby for your pet care needs. You're welcome to reach out to me for any additional details and/or questions.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Palos Verdes Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Palos Verdes Estates on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 20,109 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palos Verdes Estates. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Palos Verdes Estates stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palos Verdes Estates. On Rover:

  • 89% 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.

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.
