About: I have two dogs and one cat currently but three cats in the past! I love all animals and feel connected towards them. I have been working specifically dog walking and sitting for about two years on apps like wag. I am a psychology major and want to work with service animals in the future! I am in school finishing up my degree and minor and mostly do online. I want to work with service animals so dog walking and sitting is a perfect way to gain experience and knowledge on all different kinds of animals and breeds. I care immensely and treats all animals like my own. I want people to be able to feel comfortable with me around their animals and inside their home. I know it takes a lot of trust and vulnerability to let someone you don’t personally know inside your home, so i want to make the experience for everyone as easy as possible. I like to give updates and response quickly to pet parents.

About: Not only am I an animal lover, but I’m someone who genuinely cares about creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every dog in my care. I used to be a dog owner, so I know how important it is for pet parents to find someone they can fully trust. I pay close attention to detail and always follow specific instructions to ensure your pet receives the best possible care, from medication and grooming to exercise routines and daily schedules. I’m attentive, reliable, and tuned into each dog’s unique personality and needs, especially those who may need extra patience, reassurance, or consistency. You can feel confident and comfortable knowing your dog will be treated with respect, kindness, and thoughtful care while you’re away. I am flexible, adaptive and able to accommodate varying schedules / needs. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the demands of others easily. Taking care of pets varies depending on your needs. I am here to listen, understand and develop ways to ensure you AND your pet are taken care of. From maintaining a clean environment, to following feeding or medication instructions. The values I live by - respect, honesty, trust and integrity- are reflected in my approach to all areas in my life.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. As a pet owner and experienced sitter, I’ve cared for dogs through walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting for friends and family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny teacup Yorkies to large Dobermans, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m also a future nurse, so caring for others is at the heart of who I am. My nursing education, combined with volunteer experience in hospitals, hospice, and as a caregiver, has taught me patience, compassion, reliability, and close attention to detail. I bring that same mindset to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll tailor my care to their needs and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands! Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I’m currently a nursing student with a flexible schedule and multiple days available throughout the week. I am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, consistent care. I’m available most mornings and after 5 PM on weekdays, with full day availability on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Wednesdays, I’m fully available after 12 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to work around your pet’s routine and provide walks, check-ins, playtime, feeding, and companionship while you’re away. When I care for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. I know pets feel most secure in their own environment, so I make sure to follow their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and what makes them feel comfortable. Some pets love attention and play, while others need more patience and space to warm up. I’m happy to provide whatever care they need, whether that’s walks, cuddles, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or simply keeping them company while their owners are away. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for!

Ginny was so kind and sweet with my cat! My cat gets lonely when I’m away so I mainly needed someone to come play with her for a while everyday. When I got back, my cat was noticeably less lonely and Ginny was great about sending photos and letting me know how my cat was doing everyday! Highly recommend!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 12. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’ve handled puppies full of energy and senior dogs needing extra care. I’m confident managing different temperaments and always prioritize safety, love, and playtime. Whether your pup needs cuddles, structured walks, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help! I’m a doctoral student and have a flexible schedule. I am happy to accommodate your schedule and needs to ensure your pet is well cared for. I always treat pets and their homes with the utmost respect and care. While staying in your home, I’ll follow all instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, or house rules. I keep a calm, clean, and quiet environment to help your dog feel safe and relaxed in your absence. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pup is happy and in good hands!

About: As a massage therapist, trainer and health coach, and reiki master, I have learned a lot over the years about not only how to heal and help others but also how to apply those same principles to our furry friends. After all they are family too. They deserve the same holistic natural care as we do. And the recent passing of my 15 year old retriever shepherd mix was proof of that. He was diagnosed with arthritis and hip dysplasia at age six and lupus and hypothyroid at age 8. He should not have lived as long as he did, but with proper nutrition , exercise, and the use of alternative modalities Such as acupuncture, massage and reiki, he lived a very long, abundant life. I then passed on that knowledge and healing to a 14 year old rescue named Ava. She lived to be 17! Finally, after taking some time to heal again, i rescued my latest and embarked back on the puppy journey. She was 14 month old husky of pure energy, goof and intelligence. Now she’s a rehabilitated 2.5 year old. When dogs stay with me, they will be treated as my own. They are in a home on a bed, dog bed, or couch. They are in a yard, on a trail, or swimming- not in a cage with only 3 breaks a day. They live the Tahoe life (or the SF/Pacifica Beach life) with me and my semi new Rescue, Nala. Ive grown up with medium to large breeds and I am very passionate about keeping our gentle giants out of pain and spreading awareness against large breed discrimination. I relocated from Truckee to Pacifica In 2019 after running a pet care business up there for four years. I am still up in the Tahoe area once a month, but I serve the entire peninsula area. In other words, I'm pretty flexible, just message me. My prices are not set in stone and can be changed based on your specific situation and your pets needs. Lastly, I will be offering my canine massage and reiki services as both an in home service and at my own home and new office. Be well and wag on! I work from office and home both. But my office is only three blocks away. and school is online and from home. so I’m almost always home unless so have to run an errand. My office is pet friendly and they are welcome there also. They will get the comforts of sound healing and beach time when they are at work with me. Minus my class time on zoom or a sound healing event. I am pretty flexible for pick up, drop off and meet n greets. Two fenced yards, two dog beds, a couch and my bed. And your dog is welcome to them all. My backyard and garden has great energy as I do a lot of reiki out there with my plants. I have two runners and one 20ft lead in addition to two fenced yards But dogs are never left alone out there. If I have to leave they will be put in the room or in a crate depending on their level of training and trust.

Rebecca is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. I get nervous leaving my cat but Rebecca sent thorough updates every day, lots of pictures and videos, and my cat looked SO happy and entertained hanging out with her. I didn’t worry at all on this trip, which meant so much to me. Rebecca goes above and beyond with everything and is a lovely caring person. I hope to book with her again!

Jordan did an amazing job doing 10 drop-in visits across 4 days for my dog Gus. Jordan came super prepared at the meet and greet visit and asked a lot of questions to understand Gus’ routine. My dog is part lab/cattle dog and has a bunch of quirks, and she made sure he was well taken care of. Jordan also did a great job when I booked her for a first time walk before my trip so Gus could get familiar with her. Providing picture updates on the walk. She provided great updates in each Rover card. Including photos, videos, and notes from each visit to share how Gus was doing. She even came back to check on him on 4th of July to ensure he was ok during fireworks. It’s my first time using Rover and Gus was in great hands. She made my trip worry-free. Would definitely book her again!

Vanessa took wonderful care of our cats while we were away for two weeks. She was always on time, incredibly responsive, and kept us updated with detailed report cards after every visit. It was obvious from the photos and updates that our cats were comfortable, well cared for, and genuinely loved by her, they looked like they were having a great time! She also went above and beyond by bringing in our packages and helping with a few small requests around the house, which we really appreciated. Knowing everything was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Redondo Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Redondo Beach on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 19,574 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Redondo Beach. 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 Redondo Beach 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 Redondo Beach. 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.
