Thanks Julia.”

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”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palos Verdes Peninsula
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!
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
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!
Chris is an AMAZING host and dog lover! Our baby Kanoa was in good hands and had tons of fun with Chris and his family. Loved the fact that Chris took care of our puppy as his own with all the love and care we offer to our baby. Long walks, lots of space at home to hang out and good vibes. It is a big relief knowing that our loved one is in good hands. We will definitely reach out to Chris in the future! Thank you Chris for taking care of Kanoa when we were traveling.
Natalie went above and beyond for us while we were away. She was so attentive, responsive, on time and followed all my detailed instructions perfectly for our two dogs and cat. Our cat is normally very shy with strangers but after a week with Natalie he was cuddling and asking for pets from her! I am grateful to her for helping our fur babies feel loved and cared for while we were away for a week. I will definitely use her for all my pet sitting.
Eva was a great dog sitter for us. She was so nice and was able to accommodate our dates sort of at the last minute. Our dog seemed to feel very comfortable with her and it was so nice that we didn’t have to board our dog at the kennel. I had left lots of instructions for Eva and she seemed to have followed all of them perfectly! I felt totally comfortable with her staying over night in our house. All around it was a great experience and we will definitely plan to use her services again in the future! We highly recommend!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Hunter stayed at our house for a long weekend to look after our dog Nugget, and everything went perfectly. She gave us regular updates that kept us at ease, and Nugget was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for when we got home. On top of that, she treated our home with so much respect — we came back to find it even cleaner than we left it! It was such a relief knowing both Nugget and our house were in great hands. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again.
Lacey was a fantastic sitter for our two sweet boys. She was so easy to get along with, easy to communicate with and willing to go the extra mile, like helping with house tasks! The boys (two cats) loved her. Our one cat was instantly best friends with her and even our shy guy warmed up and was out and about! She also was so amazing and sent us detailed updates with photos each day which I so appreciated. Would absolutely recommend!
Olivia was so wonderful taking care of our baby. He requires a lot of TLC to get used to new people but she was so patient and kind, she won him over quickly! She also left our home in better condition than we left it. So nice to have someone we trust in our home taking care of our boy . Thanks again Olivia!

FAQs for House Sitting - Palos Verdes Peninsula
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palos Verdes Peninsula on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,328 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palos Verdes Peninsula. 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 Peninsula 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 Peninsula 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 Peninsula 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.

- 97% 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.
