“Bethany was attentive, kind, and a wonderful communicator. My little Ripley was happy and calm with I returned home. I would absolutely recommend Bethany as well as request her services again. Wonderful pet sitter!”
“John did a wonderful job overnight house sitting for my 2 cats and Husky. While my fur babies are all fairly independent, they need and want a human presence at all times. John did great being there for them and keeping me up to date on their daily shenanigans.”
“Ivy took a good care of our dogs for 9 days including administering insulin shots to one of our senior dogs. All of our 3 dogs warmed up to Ivy right away because of her calm demeanor, and Abi, the young GSD, even got zoomies while we were away which tells us she was very comfortable with Ivy. Ivy is also a great communicator, flexible, and always punctual. Thank you Ivy!”
“We were nervous to leave our dog as he sometimes shows minor separation anxiety but Armando did such a great job!! He is super calm and laid back but also very responsive to messages. Would definitely book him again.”
“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!”
“We needed a sitter for an overnight visit. Julee was on time and took the boyz for a walk right when she got here. Our kitty Tres usually takes several visits to trust anyone. He warmed right up to Julee. The boyz were all well taken care of we will be calling Julee next time.”

About: Owners will love the care I provide because I'm very loving and respectful of needs/wants. I'm very caring for animals as they need our help as much as possible. I love all kinds of animals. My care experience is based on learning from watching, reading online, or learning on my own experience how to proceed in careful matters. I've learned very risky situations on my dogs that I had in the past that I was not comfortable with but I managed to take risks. So I can say I'm a bit of a risk taker as well, But a safe only if you want me to do. Nothing is done without concerning the owner. These are a bit of what I can do for my dog and try with any other pet. I can bathe, clip nails, comb hair, and come up with tricks with treats granted. Availability comes great with me because I'm home with my fur baby of my own. I'm home throughout the day/night unless I'm doing homework, photography, or at the gym to better myself; Which I love too. This is great as well if you're looking to better your pet well being. So being available is my most accurate thing about me and it works for any working hours of dog owners. My special skills are loving, playing with dogs, and keeping them happy always while spoiling them with my love or treats. haha. I also love to take photoshoots with my fur baby as I'm trying to own my business one day. I love teaching tricks, spending time walking with them, or just hanging out. I'm here for dogs. Dog lover is my passion. If I could own many dogs I would. I'm those extra helping hands. I am here for you! I can take them to play, walk, feed them, and potty/poop. I also can be there for your fur baby on weekends if you like to go out somewhere and have no worries. I'm here for you. I make sure your fur baby is happy, worry-free, and calm and stays to your commands/rules. I give love and accept lovable kisses and messes. I also have a fur baby of my own, so I know what it takes. I can do any service that you want and try my best to succeed with focus and helping needs until you return to your favorite companion.
About: I am born the year of the dog. I love dogs. I have a deep connection and calmness with furry creatures. I love running, long hikes and cuddling with dogs. I have a large gated yard in a safe neighborhood. I live next to a wonderful nature preserve. I am very resourceful and on finding the best trails and parks near any client. I am very clean. I Always carry treats and bags for cleaning up. I have dog sat and walked for 20 years. Never have had a bad experience. My own Siberian husky passed away after 15 amazing years together. I have more steadily started dog walking and sitting to feel the void and have a exercise partner. I am a artist and producer
“Elaine was a great sitter! She was attentive and worked with Ripley on walks. She sent lots of pictures and status updates during her stay to make sure we were informed of all the fun they were having.”
About: I’ve been surrounded with animals my whole life and have a deep love and respect for them. I treat each pet with love and care as if they were my own 💕 As of right now, I have a decently open schedule as I am between jobs. I currently live in the Palos Verdes area and have my own car for transportation. I am most definitely available to pet sit at other home and can be there most of the day with them if needed! Feeding, walking, playing, and cleaning would all be part of daily routine to make sure your pet is as happy and healthy as possible while you are away! I cannot offer any pet services in my own house currently.
“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: I’ve spent years caring for families and their furry friends! Through my nannying and house-sitting experience, I’ve regularly cared for dogs while their families were traveling, including following detailed routines, keeping up with walks and feeding schedules, and making sure they received plenty of love and attention. I’m big on communication, so I always keep families updated with regular photos and messages so they can feel at ease while they’re away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, going on walks, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I’d be happy to give your pup the same loving, dependable care I’d want for my own! 🐾❤️ I work full time, but I’ve made it a personal goal to hit 15,000 steps a day! I’m on a health grind and what better company than some friendly doggos on my walks? I’m available in the evenings, and I also take a big long walk around 9–11 AM in Downtown Long Beach. I genuinely love walking and especially enjoy being outdoors with a good view! I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and make their safety and comfort my priority. I’m experienced with caring for dogs in clients’ homes, including overnight house sitting while families travel. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. 🐾❤️
“Nicolas stayed at our house and look care of our 70 pound, reactive, German shepherd, Danny and did such an incredible job. He sent us videos and photos throughout his stay and always kept us updated on how Danny was doing. We’ve used serveral rover’s in the past and Nicolas is by far the most attentive and professional Rover we’ve ever had. I can’t recommend Nicolas enough, he was a 10/10 hire.”
“We have been booking Staci to watch our Stormy for several months now and we are still so happy with her services! Our dog had major surgery last month and now that she’s mostly recovered we are just starting to have her watched by others. There were several things we needed Staci to be aware of post-surgery and as usual she was excellent in communicating with us throughout the day. We feel relieved knowing our pup is safe and happy with her.”
About: Hi there, I'm Alisa. Currently booking for the holidays. I'm new here, but not new to pet and house sitting. I have perfect reviews on Trusted Housesitters giving overnight care to over 18 dogs and cats (plus chickens and reptiles!). I've also watched 8 different animals for repeat sits from word of mouth. I'm offering a lower rate because I'm new here and want to gain your trust. I love animals and I know they feel calm around me. While I make them feel loved and comfortable, I also take my pet care very seriously and always make sure their walk, exercise, and feeding schedule is exactly how the owner asks. I also send updates and glamour shots of the animals ;) Hope to hear from you! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can work with your schedule and stay at your home. I'm also available for several drop in's or walks a day. I take pet-sitting very seriously and make sure I do everything the owner/client asks for. Making sure the animals get the perfect amount of exercise/play and of course meals at the designated times and lots of love!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Pedro
Heather was wonderful with our three dogs and one of the first sitters we ever trusted with them. She immediately put us at ease and took such great care of everything while we were away for a week. One thing we really appreciated was how she reached out with thoughtful questions about each of the dogs personalities and how they get along. It was really nice because it showed she genuinely wanted to get to know them and make sure she was caring for them in the best way possible. One of the biggest bonuses is that she also cleans houses on the side, and it truly shows. We came home to a house that was even cleaner than when we left it, which was such a nice surprise after traveling and made coming home feel so much more relaxing. She was also incredibly thoughtful and flexible when our flight got delayed. She went out of her way to come back later in the evening to let the dogs out, which we really appreciated. She stayed in great communication the entire time and kept us updated, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and detail oriented sitter.
John was kind, thorough, and dedicated to our pups while house sitting for us. They were so happy when we got home which is not usual for when we leave them. John left the home super tidy as well and followed all our instructions. He spent ample time with them during the day and was honest about his other obligations and how much time our dogs would be alone each day, which is much more direct than any of the other sitters we have used. He sent us daily updates and was quick to respond. He was even able to accomodate a last minute request I had for him. We appreciate you, John! And will certainly have you back when we need the help!! Thank you!

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 San Pedro 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 San Pedro 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 San Pedro 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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

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.
