About: We have both cared for dogs and cats of all ages since we were both young. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted us to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they are away. 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 are a couple that own a mobile coffee cart business. Trying to get our business up and running while taking care of animals on the side! You booking us helps support our dream! 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.
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.
“Bethany was an amazing sitter for my pug and two cats!! She was thoughtful, kind, and sent me lots of photos during my time out of town. She even clipped my cat’s nails, it turns out she has done that professionally in the past! Finally, Bethany was also available on short notice, which was extremely helpful. Highly recommend!!”

About: I previously volunteered for a greyhound adoption agency in Australia where I gained hands-on experience caring for retired greyhounds, including those with anxiety. Before moving to the U.S I also had my own greyhound and successfully transitioned her to apartment living, so I understand the unique needs of the breed. I currently work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m often available on short notice and can adjust my availability to suit your needs. I’m tall and confident handling larger dogs, and I approach every animal with patience, gentleness, and care. Your pets will be treated well and will always be in safe, loving hands. I currently work and study remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m often available on short notice and can adjust my availability to suit your needs. I am Tall so I can handle bigger dogs. I’m gentle, cautious and caring with all animals I care for. Your fur babies are in great hands.
“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.”

“Kyle watched our dog and our senior foster dog for 15 days, the longest we'd ever been away from our dog. I was never concerned or worried about the pups, as Kyle is excellent. He has a great, calm demeanor, he's respectful of our home, and the pups like having him around. I highly recommend Kyle and will absolutely hire him again for future dog-sitting and dog walks.”

“Britney house sat for me with my 3 pets (1 dog & 2 cats) while I was away visiting family for 5 days. She was an incredible sitter & an A+ communicator! My pets fell in love with her within minutes of her meet-and-greet, & she sent many text updates & photos/videos throughout her stay, which made me feel connected with my pets & reassured me that they were having a good time. Since she has a dog & cat of her own at home, I knew I'd be leaving them in good hands. She was also really quick to respond to my original request, which was so appreciated since it was only 3 days before my trip & I was scrambling after my original sitter canceled. Her younger brother also stopped by occasionally (with my permission, of course) to keep the pets company while Britney was studying & they loved him too! When I got home, the place was clean & the sheets/towels she used were washed & folded. I really appreciate how thoughtful & loving she was. Would definitely book Britney again!”
“Sydney was great with our 2 dogs. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us well informed. The house was in perfect shape as well. Already have her booked for our next trip.”

“Joanne was an absolute lifesaver while I was away for a few days. I have a little puppy, and I needed someone reliable to keep a close eye on him and provide him with comfort during my first time away. I highly recommend Joanne to anyone in need of pet care. Ollie and I adore her, and we’re eagerly looking forward to seeing her again soon. :)”

“I cannot recommend Lillian highly enough! Over time, she has become much more than just a dog and house sitter to us—she’s like a second parent to our dog, Biggie, and a part of our family. Her honesty and kindness shine through in everything she does, making it easy to trust her not only with Biggie but also with our home. Lillian is the epitome of professionalism, yet she interacts with such warmth and genuineness, it feels as though a family member is stepping in to help. She is always polite and considerate, respecting our space and schedules, and we’ve returned home every time to find both Biggie and our house in perfect condition. For anyone looking for peace of mind while they’re away, look no further. Lillian treats your pet with all the love and attentiveness they deserve. It’s truly comforting to know that someone so trustworthy and caring is looking after our dog and our home.”

About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.
“I’m a so happy we chose Ivy. She went over all our pet instructions and loved my fur babies . Ivy sent daily pictures and responded within minutes to any questions or concerns.. 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”

“Carolyn totally took care of my special needs 15 year old honey bunny Sonny. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Sonny is a bit high maintenance with his health and Carolyn met all his needs. She was active in communicating and let me have some peace of mind while I was away for work. House and pup were great when I got back. Sonny and I thank you Carolyn and we are so greatful.”

“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.”

“Sara took great care of our senior dog and our kitty. She sent us updates with many pictures of their daily activities and we had an easy line of communication with her while we were away. She left the house clean and tidy as well. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again when we are out of town.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rancho Palos Verdes
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

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.
Eva was a great dog sitter for us. She was so nice and was able to accommodate our dates sort of at the last minute. Our dog seemed to feel very comfortable with her and it was so nice that we didn’t have to board our dog at the kennel. I had left lots of instructions for Eva and she seemed to have followed all of them perfectly! I felt totally comfortable with her staying over night in our house. All around it was a great experience and we will definitely plan to use her services again in the future! We highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rancho Palos Verdes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rancho Palos Verdes on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 13,750 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 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.

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.
