About: Throughout my life I have owned cats and dogs. At the moment I only have one cat which is the least amount of pets I've had since I was around 5 years old, so I am craving more animals to care for! In terms of dog care, I work nights as a restaurants server so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, hikes, and play time with your pup! I live in an apartment with no yard so boarding dogs is limited to cat friendly smaller breeds and I will be most helpful for either drop in visits, or care in your home for your baby. Most of my experience is with larger breeds such as Bernese Mountain Dogs and more high maintenance breeds such as Huskies. However, I love to play and take care of my friends' French bulldogs and mini bully mix! Currently my family dog is a sweet yet strong personality Siberian Husky named Sasha who lives with my parents, and we love to go on hikes or long walks on the beach together whenever we can! My Husky Sasha is a very typical, sensitive husky who taught me a lot of patience and respecting of boundaries when it comes to dogs. Grooming her is a job only my brother and I seem to be able to take on adar requires a lot patience and listening to her cues and I can bring that patience and sensitivity to caring for your pet. Overall, I love caring for pets! It gives me so much joy and purpose and I would love to share that with your fur baby and be a part of their care village! Available upon scheduling 7 days a week, 7AM-4PM I currently only work nights so I am available upon scheduling during the day 7 days a week. I also have flexibility in these hours if later or earlier times may be needed. (Often when I hike I go early in the morning around 630, but that is flexible depending on your schedule). I love to run and hike, so i can bring your dog on some adventures that are sure to stretch their legs and provide some fun! My cat and I play at least 30 minutes a day and I love chasing him around the house to get his legs moving and his heart pumping!

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’ve taken care of pets all my life since I was young. I’ve raised a couple of litters of cats as well. Genuinely would rather hang out with animals than humans most days. I do have free time a lot in the morning and evenings most days and the weekends as well. Taking care of animals is what I want to fill those places with. Anytime I’m taking care of my friend’s pets I treat them like my own. Cater to whatever needs specific for your pet. I curate the experience considering the animals preferences.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Wisconsin surrounded by pets, animals, and farms, and have more than 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. My family has always had pets, and I was helping with their care practically as soon as I could walk! I have experience with dogs of every size, from tiny breeds to gentle giants, and at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I have an especially soft spot for older animals and understand the extra patience, attention, and gentleness they sometimes need. I’m also comfortable giving oral medications, applying routine flea and tick treatments, and checking for and removing ticks. And I’m definitely not just a dog person! I’ve grown up around and cared for cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, and other small animals, and I’m very comfortable in homes with multiple kinds of pets. Most importantly, I know pets are family. I also know how much trust it takes to leave them and your home in someone else’s care. Whether your pet needs a long walk and plenty of playtime, a quiet companion to keep them company, or just someone patient enough to let a senior pup take their sweet time, I’ll care for them with the same attention and affection I’d want for my own. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a real part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in around work. I’m active, outdoorsy, and love being outside, so walks and playtime are a natural fit for me! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. After years of balancing school and a professional career, I’m very organized, dependable, and genuinely excited to use my extra time to help care for pets in my community. I live in a pet-friendly two-bedroom condo surrounded by beautiful, expansive grounds, including a park right within our community. My neighborhood is quiet, walkable, and low-traffic, with plenty of nearby parks, dog-friendly areas, and even the beach just a short walk away, so there are lots of options for safe walks and outdoor time depending on your pet’s needs and energy level. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll always follow their normal routine and your instructions closely. I know every animal is different, and I’m happy to adjust walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and downtime to what makes them most comfortable. Safety and trust come first, and I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Moving to LA meant leaving my family dogs back home. Missing my four-legged besties led me to the world of pet sitting. My experience ranges from caring for Golden Retrievers to Bengal cats. With love and respect at the forefront, I take care of every pet as if it is one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around the pets in my care, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, playtime, walks, or just being present for companionship. Because of this flexibility, I’m more than willing to adjust and mold my schedule to meet each owner’s specific needs and ensure their pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I focus on creating a comfortable, stress-free experience by sticking closely to each pet’s normal routine. I follow all care instructions carefully so pets feel secure and at ease. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment with plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and aim to keep everything consistent for the pet, which helps reduce anxiety while their owner is away. On top of that, I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making adjustments as needed and ensuring they’re happy and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Right now I have a German Husky mix who is 8 years old and two cats, 6y and 8y. They are my babies, I will care for yours as I would mine. I have always dog sat here and there for friends, once for a family of three boxers. Not working currently, open availability. Will work around schedules. Open to long walks, bonus if my dog can come too, he is very friendly with other dogs. If this is not possible it’s also okay. :) It would definitely be best for me to care for pets in your home. Open to working out any situation, just let me know. Thanks

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.

This is probably the 5th or 6th (or even more?) time Deb has taken care of our babies, and she always does a wonderful job. We're so thankful that she's there to take care of them when we have to be away, and she's always very communicative and helpful. The girls love having her come, I'm sure they can't wait for our next trip so Deb can take care of them again!

As a fellow Rover sitter for a decade, I felt lucky to have Gina as my first Rover sitter as a client! For our 9-day vacation, Gina and her daughter did a wonderful job of caring for our kitty who can be spicy sometimes but was so comfortable with them and even enjoyed her daughter’s hugs! They also took great care of our two bunnies, not only feeding them their hay and pellets and fresh water, but also bringing over fresh greens as a treat. They cleaned up after them daily and Gina’s daughter sat with them and petted them! Additionally Gina tended our garden and kept our plants and newly growing clover yard happy and healthy! They sent snaps each visit and updates and truly helped us relax and enjoy our vacation. Thank you!

She had great communication and kept me feeling completely comfortable while I was away. I could tell my cats were happy and well cared for when I got home, and there were no issues or accidents at all. She was also very trustworthy, which is so important when having someone care for your pets and come into your home. I would absolutely book Alyssa again and highly recommend her, especially to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Playa del Rey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Playa del Rey on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 18,994 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Playa del Rey. 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 Playa del Rey 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 Playa del Rey. 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.
