“Julia was punctual and able to take care of Bearington’s needs and various vitamins. Everyday we received pictures and updates. She even informed us of a leak which we were able to handle right away. She stayed till our flight landed and made sure he went out to the bathroom before leaving. Overall, she did a good job. Thanks Julia.”

About: I’ve been around and caring for animals since I was a kid, including my own pets as well as pets belonging to friends, family, and others. I have experience pet sitting, walking dogs, feeding, playing, and providing everyday care. Throughout my life I have lived with over 25 different animals with all different ages, needs, and personalities. With that, I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has their own routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have just recently graduated collage and am in the process of looking for further work and internships in my field, so, for the most part, I have a very flexible and free schedule. I have plenty of time for pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and can plan visits around their usual feeding, walking, and care schedule. Of course, I do need to know dates and responsibilities a few days in advance, but I am happy to work around your needs! I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone else’s pet and home. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep pets secure on walks and during visits, and pay attention to their behavior and comfort level. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and any space they need. I also respect each home and always leave everything clean and secure.

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.

“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.”

“JoAnne is wonderful and did a great job with my dog! She gave lots of updates and pictures and always responds super quick. I’d highly recommend her to anyone!”

“I highly recommend Reina! Reina is caring, kind, and has a natural ability to bond with and take care of pets. My small doggy who has separation anxiety had so much fun on her day with Reina and I felt calmer knowing Bloom was in good hands. My dog can be reactive and difficult to take on walks, and Reina handled it like a pro and was able to keep her safe. Reina is also great with details and very professional. Thank you, Reina, for taking such good care of Bloom!”

“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.

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”

“John did a wonderful job overnight house sitting for my 2 cats and Husky. While my fur babies are all fairly independent, they need and want a human presence at all times. John did great being there for them and keeping me up to date on their daily shenanigans.”

About: I am an educator and musician who loves animals and enjoys spending time outdoors. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. As an animal lover and cat owner myself, I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s a dog walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I take pride in treating every pet with kindness, patience, and attention.

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palos Verdes Peninsula
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!

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.

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 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 14,208 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palos Verdes Peninsula. On Rover:
- 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.
