“Bethany was fantastic! I couldn't be happier with her services. Luna really doesn't like to be alone and Bethany gave her lots of attention while I was away. Luna got playtime, I got lots of photos and updates putting my mind at ease. Luna also has some stricter rules about playtime due to health concerns, but also has tons of energy. Bethany navigated it perfectly! I know I will be calling on her again in the future. Thank you so much, Bethany! Luna had a wonderful time!”

About: I grew up in a home with pets (dogs, cats, birds, chickens, and rabbits!), so animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From ages 10 to 18, I helped care for our family pets, including making sure they were fed and attended to. It was a great foundation for a lifelong love of animals, and I've found that I tend to gain their trust pretty quickly! Since then, I've cared for pets of my own, including a foster cat, a rabbit, and birds. I've also spent about a year house- and dog-sitting, so I have experience caring for someone else's pets and home while they're away. I'm a responsible, patient, and attentive person who understands how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for when you're away. I take commitments seriously, pay attention to instructions, and believe in treating every animal with kindness and respect. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your pets, learn their individual personalities and routines, and help make their days a little happier! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate pet-care visits throughout the week. I'm happy to coordinate with pet parents to find times that work for their pets' routines, whether that's a morning visit, an afternoon walk, or some company while they're away. I value consistency and communication, and I'll always make sure we're clear on expectations before confirming a booking. Inviting someone to care for your pet is an act of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. They're family, friends, even "doctors" and "therapists" (the healing power of unconditional love from our animal friends is unrivaled). When caring for pets in their own homes, I follow the owner's instructions carefully, respect their space, and do my best to keep their pets comfortable and their routines consistent. I'll pay close attention to feeding instructions, access to water, securing doors and gates, and any special preferences or concerns you share. I'm also happy to provide photos and updates so you can feel reassured while you're away.

“Jack was amazing! This was my first time using this service and I was a bit nervous but he made me feel at ease when we met. He kept my pup happy and healthy and kept me updated with pictures and texts about how she was doing, when he was there, when he was leaving and just general updates. 10/10 would use Jack again for house sitting. Thank you!”

About: Hiii! I’m Marlena. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve grown such a strong love for taking care of animals. I have experience with both larger dogs and really small dogs, and I’m good at picking up on their body language and little signs so I can understand what they need. I’ll always make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and well taken care of while they’re with me! I’m currently offering part-time walks while starting my senior year of high school. I’m available after 3 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends, allowing me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority during walks. I pay close attention to my surroundings, keep pets securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure each walk is comfortable, safe, and enjoyable for your dog.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all kinds and absolutely love caring for them! I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I love walks, playtime, cuddles, and giving pets plenty of attention. I’ll treat your furry family like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I recently got back from a year of traveling and am currently between jobs, so my schedule is wide open! 🐾 That means I have plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work around your pet’s routine. Basically, I’m looking for any excuse to spend more time with animals! 🐶🐱 I’d be a great fit for in-home sitting because I’m respectful, responsible, and very attentive to both your dog and your home. I’ll keep your pup on their normal routine, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure they get plenty of love, walks, and attention. I’m also very trustworthy and will treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

About: We have both cared for dogs and cats of all ages since we were both young.

We are comfortable with different temperaments routines, and energy levels, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and attention. We treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while you are gone. We have also cared for both senior animals and are able to administer medication.

We always follow the pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. We keep a clean, calm environment and closely monitor pets for safety at all times. In a client’s home, we respect their space and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. We prioritize gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and clear communication with pet parents so they always feel confident their pet is in good hands.

“An absolute GODSEND. I've had housesitters and used boarders before, but this was the first time using Rover and I couldn't imagine a better experience for Rover than to have Sharyl as the example I got as a housesitter. She was superb! At a very difficult and stressful time, she was able to housesit for three days and two nights and take care of my two pups (a 40 pound full-of-energy Brittany, and a 18 pound dachshund/terrier mix). She made me feel at ease and comfortable with choosing her, and made them feel taken care of and loved. Excellent dog skills and superior people skills too. I received regular updates on the dogs and pics of them too. Even with a demanding food regimen and the boundless energy of these dogs on their walks, she came through with flying colors! Thank the heavens for her!”

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.

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.

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 - Rancho Palos Verdes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Rancho Palos Verdes is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $65 per night. 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 13,787 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rancho Palos Verdes. 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 Rancho Palos Verdes 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 Rancho Palos Verdes 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 Rancho Palos Verdes 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
