“We had a great first experience with Catherine, she was such a pleasant person to work with. Extremely reliable and provided updates and photos with every visit - she really put us at ease. My MIL’s senior dogs loved her! Will definitely book again in the future, and I would trust her with my own dogs as well.”

About: I have at least 8 years of experience with my family dog (25lbs), but he’s recently crossed the rainbow. I have also dog sat for close family and friends. I am comfortable giving oral meds, adjusting to different needs of your pet, and love taking them out on walks or to dog parks. Happy to send pictures and respond to questions in a timely manner. Please let me know if there’s any special care your pup needs! Hi! I’m here to keep your pup happy, loved and safe while you’re out! Friends describe me as a responsible, caring, and warm! I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible. Please let me know what works best for your dog and we can coordinate. I am open to 2 dogs if from the same family/client. I will make sure to lock up any doors before leaving, check and refill the food and water levels. Will also play with them using their toys and give treats! If we go on a walk, I will keep the leash at a controlled length and make sure to pick up after they do their business. Will be taking photos as well!
“Britney was incredible from start to finish— amazing communication, she even sent a heads-up message every time she was on her way. Receiving tons of photos with every visit gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She proved to be 100% reliable. Even when her own schedule had a minor change, she still honored our booking without missing a beat. Knowing our pups were in such caring, dependable hands made all the difference. I highly recommend her services!”

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. I understand that pets are cherished members of the family, and I strive to provide the same level of care and affection that I would want for my own pet. My professional background has taught me the importance of reliability, genuine care, communication, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every pet care visit. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to arrange my schedule around my clients’ needs and provide dependable care for their pets. The safety and well-being of your pets is always my top priority. I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own and take care to follow each pet’s routine, instructions, and personality needs closely. During dog walks, I use secure leash handling at all times and remain alert to surroundings, other animals, and potential hazards. I avoid unsafe interactions with unfamiliar dogs and always prioritize calm, controlled, and positive experiences for your pet. For cat sitting and drop-in visits, I ensure doors and windows are securely closed, litter boxes are cleaned properly, food and water are refreshed, and your cat is comfortable and stress-free. I also take time to provide companionship and gentle interaction based on each cat’s comfort level. I am reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In case of any emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow any instructions you provide, including reaching out to your preferred veterinarian if needed. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and genuinely looked after while you are away.
About: Hi there! I grew up with animals and have been around them my entire life. My Grammy was part of the Golden Retriever Club of LA, a dog trainer, and a breeder. I assisted her many times growing up whenever she had a litter of puppies. I was even able to experience being in the operation room during one of the births to support the puppies when they were born. Animals have been a big part of my life and they have created so many beautiful memories for me to cherish! Currently, I have availability off and on throughout most days. I am a graduate student, so my schedule can change. Please refer to my calendar or ask me before booking! I have lots of experience caring for other's pets and family's pets as well over the years. I am always mindful when going into people's homes and often try to find small ways to leave it looking better than when I arrived.
“Shardae was very professional and is a trusting person. We booked her for drop in visits. She did a meet and greet so that our dog could get familiar with her. She followed all the instructions that we gave her. She took our dog on a walk when she came over and feed her. She also gave her one on one time to ensure that she is loved while we were way. I will rebook her anytime we are away. I will 100% recommend her to sit for your fur baby.”

About: I have had dogs in my family ever since I could remember. As an adult, I have had my own dogs for the last five years - Star and Popsicle are my world! I am comfortable walking two dogs at a time, administering medicines, and if there is anything else your pet may need, I have probably handled it myself before. I have cared for other people's pets on and off for years as well and have handled many situations with ease. I currently have a very flexible, open schedule that can accommodate any specific walk times or potty breaks. I can assist any time of day, any day of the week. Hello! Trusting me with your beloved pet means that they will be taken care of with all the love and attention that I give my own two dogs. I am patient, attentive, and kind in my care, and I genuinely love being around any pets! From feeding to enriching walks, I want to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away.
“This was our first time using Rover for drop-in visits, and Erik made the experience very smooth. He even did a meet-up beforehand to make sure our dog was comfortable with him. He was very responsive and great at giving updates, which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend him!”

About: Accountant at big 4 looking to walk your dog while studying for CPA exams. I have two rescued dogs on my own (not at home). Would love to walk or babysit your baby! I’m currently studying for exams from home, which gives me a super flexible schedule. I’m also an avid runner, so staying active is part of my lifestyle. Whether it’s a walk, a jog, or just some playful energy, I love making sure your pup gets the movement and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When I meet a new dog, I take time to observe their personality, energy level, and any behaviors that might need extra attention. This helps me understand what kind of care they need and how to create the right environment for them. I adjust our walks, runs, and activities based on what keeps them calm, engaged, and regulated. I choose walking routes and locations that match your dog’s needs, quiet areas for easily overstimulated pets, open spaces for high‑energy dogs, and familiar spots when routine helps them feel secure. If your dog needs to burn extra energy, I make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation so they come home relaxed and satisfied. I also pay close attention to behavior, body language, and triggers to keep every outing safe. Whether it’s avoiding certain dogs, managing reactivity, or reinforcing good manners, I stay focused and intentional. My goal is to create a safe, structured experience that builds trust with your pet and gives you peace of mind. I want life to feel easier for pet owners, and I work hard to help you understand your dog’s needs a little better while giving them the care, consistency, and support they deserve.
“Judy was so sweet in helping my family during an emergency. She went over right away and eased our worries during a stressful time. She spent time with our anxious rescue dog and made sure she was safe. My family appreciates you!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palos Verdes Peninsula
Ruby was absolutely amazing!! 🥹💕 My kitties adored her! Even when our Litter-Robot unexpectedly went offline in the middle of the night because of a WiFi connection issue, I reached out to her, and she was so accommodating! She came earlier than scheduled at the last minute to check on it and spend extra time with my babies. Talk about going above and beyond! 🐾❤️ My cautious little princess, Suki Bear, even came out to hang out with Ruby and her brother AND let Ruby pet her! That says a lot because Suki doesn’t warm up to just anyone! 🥹 Tommy Boy was his usual energetic, playful self and absolutely loved all the attention and playtime! I had such peace of mind knowing my babies were in loving hands while we were away. A++++ service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My kitties and I can’t thank you enough, Ruby! We’ve officially found our go-to kitty sitter for all our future trips! Highly, highly recommend! 💕🐱

This was our first time using Rover, and Paige was simply amazing. She came over just to meet us beforehand, and she was so interested in our dog, Magic. She got down on the floor and played with him right away. Her reports were wonderful, and the pictures she sent every day were so fun to get. She truly loved him, and you could tell. She is responsible and she genuinely loves taking care of dogs. I never worried once. I knew Magic was in good hands, and we will definitely be using her again.

Suzanne has taken care of Cupcake for us many times, and she has been wonderful every single time. She is incredibly reliable, responsible, and caring, and we always have complete peace of mind knowing Cupcake is in her hands. Cupcake knows her well and is always happy to see her, which means so much to us. We really appreciate all the updates, photos, and the consistent care she gives Cupcake. We feel very lucky to have someone we can trust so much to look after her. Highly recommend Suzanne! ❤️🐾

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.

Christina goes above and beyond and is extremely available and responsive. She is also very patient with my very shy pet making an effort to reach out and comfort her while I am away. She is the best on all aspects and I am extremely happy with her capabilities and open, clear communication.

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 October 2026, there are 19,660 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palos Verdes Peninsula. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
