“Barbara did an amazing job taking care of my pets. She arrived on time, sent me cute photos of the pets, and did everything I asked to be done. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Sarah and Karl are superb sitters. Our little guy Rufus loved both of them. They are kind, knowledgable, respectful, and willing to do last minute visits. We are grateful for them both!”


“Natalia has become my puppy favorite person in the middle of the day. She always jumps with joy the minute she sees Natalia coming through the door, and my sweet little puppy doesn’t even notice when I leave! Natalia Tree, my puppy joy as a she was her very own. She’s always punctual, and followed my instructions to the letter. She is truly a lifesaver.”

About: I am new to this app and just moved here to California. I love dogs and thought it would be a great part time job to do. I have had dogs my whole life so I know how to take care of them, and give them unconditional love. Currently job searching for a full time position so I have pretty open availability right now. Once I get an offer I will work around it and try to accept walks or sits when I can. I will only do what is asked of me and respect every clients home. Follow any rules or any special notes about their area they live in, I can not pet sit in my home but will gladly make the stop ins in others.
“So grateful for Brianna checking in on my kitty while I was out of town! My friend last minute wasn’t able to do check-ins and Brianna was so quick to respond and accept on short notice! She checked in during her visits and sent pictures even if my cat was hiding. She went above and beyond with resetting my Furbo so I could see my cat during my trip too. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your cat sitting needs and will absolutely be rebooking with her for future long trips!”

“Sarah was great! You can tell she absolutely adores animals, she fell in love with my babies and even one of mine that can be skid-dish with new people really seemed to enjoy her too! My kitties can be particular about a couple of things and tend to get into things they shouldn’t, and Sarah did everything I asked. What I appreciated the most (outside of her care of my kitties of course) was that she kept my space clean and kept everything exactly as I had left it—something that is really important to me. Sarah respects your space, will love on your babies as if they are her own and handles your instructions thoroughly. So thankful for her, I would absolutely recommend! :)”

About: Since I was very small, I’ve cared for a menagerie of animals, including cats and dogs, reptiles and small critters, even horses and goats. I’ve had a number of special needs animals of my own, and am very well-acquainted with administering medication and accommodating special needs. After recently losing my elderly dog for whom I had been managing severe epilepsy, and my elderly cat to cancer, I’m used to providing near constant care and love, and now find myself with time on my hands and love to spare. I deeply understand the stress of leaving your pet in a stranger’s care, and I’ll make sure you can see that your pet is safe with me. I live at the beach on a great trail network with walkable parks to give your dogs a taste of vacation, whatever their preference, and have a deck in the trees with large floor to ceiling windows full of birds and squirrels to keep your cats entertained. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule. Until recently I was caring for an elderly dog with severe epilepsy that required 3x daily medication, and an elderly cat with cancer who required feeding every couple of hours, so I’m accustomed to my days centering around animals’ schedules. Living at the beach means I take walk breaks throughout the day, and I appreciate that animals give me a ready excuse to step away from my computer. I have a deck in the trees that’s great for sunbathing and creature watching, and am 50 yards from the beach and it’s path, as well as a large local park and trail network along the wetlands. I work in the main space of my home, so it’s easy for me to have eyes on your pet at all times. Wherever they are in terms of their needs, I’m happy to meet them there!
About: I'm an LA native who recently moved back from Europe to care for family and am really missing Nala, my Ridgeback mix, back home with relatives. I love dogs and have experience with different breeds and temperaments and miss having a dog companion. I have a flexible schedule for walks and check-ins on the Westside. I am a single mom who is taking care of my sick parents, therefore I can't have a normal job. I can take your dogs on fun walks while my son is in school. I found out through my dog that exercise and love is most important. I will give your dog lots of TLC and take care of him/her to the best of my ability.

About: With over 15 years of experience in personalized pup walking and pet sitting, I’ve cared for all breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments. I’ve also fostered more than 35 puppies/dogs for rescue organizations; in addition to my own pets, helping them grow into confident social companions so that they can find their home. In addition, I bring over 11 years of dog training experience, allowing me to work confidently with shy, high-energy and/or behaviorally unique pups. I understand that every pup is different and I tailor my training to meet each one’s individual needs. Your pup’s safety, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each individual's unique personality, routine and needs - whether that means high-energy playtime, structured walks and/or a sniffing safari for shy and/or senior pups. I always move at their comfort level, respect boundaries and use positive gentle handling to create a safe and stress-free experience. During every visit, I make sure your dog receives attentive care, companionship and plenty of enrichment. I’m happy to follow specific feeding routines, administer basic medications, reinforce training cues and keep their environment clean, safe and secure. With my background in photography, you’ll receive high-quality photo and video updates during each visit - so you can feel connected, reassured and confident that your pup is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with the time, attention and care they deserve. I focus on keeping them both physically active and mentally stimulated, whether that’s through walks, playtime, enrichment activities and/or simply providing companionship. We have access to two fenced-in dog parks within my complex, providing 2 safe and fun space for exercise and play. I also have a dog-friendly 5 year old spayed female dog, up-to-date with vaccines, who gets along great with both dogs and cats - she loves having company, whether it’s for playtime or just relaxing at home watching TV.

About: I've been a Mom of 3 furry dog tails (2 small street dogs and 1 husky) when i was 18yo till 21yo, at the age of 25 I become a Mom for adopted rescue boy of jack russell and rat terrier mix for lovely 4.5 years; during that time occasionally I would take care of my friend Husky at my house, and another friends Cats at their households. I love being around furry friends, play with them, take them on a very very long walks. My schedule is very flexible. I work at coffee shop 6 hours shifts; usually from 8AM till 2PM, rarely from 2PM till 7PM in Playa del Rey. I'm an early morning bird, so waking up around 6AM it's my normal. At doggies household my first priority is to follow the set of rules and guidance from owners. Walks, food at scheduled time. Making sure that pet is comfy, have enough attention and affection.

About: Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to take care of their animals for years now. Reach out! I'm a great companion for short or long term needs. I have experience caring for--and living with--cats, dogs, hamsters, and even fish. I also have experience working at a dog shelter, so I can completely understand that every animal is unique and has their own needs. I'm currently working a part-time schedule, so I'll have plenty of flexibility depending on what you need! Most afternoons and nights are free. I don't live somewhere where I can board, however, when I house-sit or take care of an animal I understand that diner, lunch, walks and play are my responsibility. I will make sure that your baby is taken care of.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Playa del Rey
My cat poncho is not always easy to be with. He can be aggressive at times. Luke blinded with him immediately and enjoyed his rookie personality. His reports were always positive and reassuring when a possible health issue arose. He he let me know about it and was very clear with his inquiry, and he followed my instructions about it instantly and kept monitoring it and when the issue resolved, he let me know right away that everything was OK. I will definitely book Luke anytime. I need it for sitter in the future. It’s very very good with my cat and I enjoyed it very much.

Hayley did great! She was attentive to details, kind to my dogs, and kept me updated throughout her drop-ins. I had full faith in everything being OK and her ability to adjust if anything had come up. She kept the routine and all went smoothly. Giving me and my dogs peace of mind.

My first time using anyone at all to watch my pets. She is so great, went above and beyond! If you made it to her reviews just do yourself a favor and book 👏 My only concern is that your pets will probably like her more than you. She is so sweet to them! 🥹 Will most definitely use her again!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Playa del Rey is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $48 per visit. 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.

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.

- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
