“Bethany has quickly become my favorite sitter! It is obvious my furbabies feel safe and at home with her. She did a great job grooming the girls, and keeping our hope clean and organized. Even though I didn’t have the best reception, Bethany still continued to provide pictures and updates that warmed my heart. She’s the absolute best!”
“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 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.”
“Candace was amazing! Very friendly and understanding of my Lola's needs. Lola really felt comfortable around Candace early on, making me comfortable knowing someone was going to take care of my Baby.”
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.
“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.”
About: I love dogs and have always enjoyed taking care of them. I have experience caring for pets belonging to family, friends, and people I know, including feeding them, playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I am responsible, patient, caring, and attentive. I will treat every pet like they are part of my own family and will always follow the owner’s instructions to make sure their pet is happy and well cared for. I am available to care for pets with a flexible schedule. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care while following each owner’s instructions and routine. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, pay close attention to their needs, and always prioritize their safety and comfort.
“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!”
About: I will love the dogs as if there my own, i would give them attention, play with them, take them outside, walk them , run with them, i take care of them as if they were my own children. I do have 4 year old but she is in school so now worries but even then my daughter LOVES dogs, she is very friendly. My family also loves dogs, i currently have a chihuahua but she's a lover not a fighter lol, if i need to i will keep my dog inside a room to be able to care for the dogs i am baby sitting. i will do anything the owner wants for their dogs, i'm trustworthy .

“Kyle did an amazing job, I think our pup got way more attention then he would have gotten if we had been home :). very considerate and kept up put to date with everything.”
“Jose did a great job watching our great pyranees Bear! He sent lots of pictures and the best part is per request he brought his awesome dog Timmy to play with Bear. Bear had the best time. We look forward to booking with Jose again!”
“Amanda is absolutely wonderful. I cannot tell you how much it meant to me for Mercy to be in Amanda’s care. She is so responsible, responds quickly to texts, sends pics daily, and understands the use of and administration of meds to pets. Mercy has major separation anxiety and she warmed up to Amanda so quickly, it was amazing. Amanda made recommendations to me that I didn’t even think of to help w the separation anxiety that I’ve been using and seem to work. I 10000 percent recommend Amanda. She will be the first person I book when I need someone to care for Mercy again. Plus when I came home after being gone for 6 days over thanksgiving, my place was spotless. I was in awe!”
About: I’ve been around and caring for animals since I was a kid, including my own pets as well as pets belonging to friends, family, and others. I have experience pet sitting, walking dogs, feeding, playing, and providing everyday care. Throughout my life I have lived with over 25 different animals with all different ages, needs, and personalities. With that, I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has their own routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have just recently graduated collage and am in the process of looking for further work and internships in my field, so, for the most part, I have a very flexible and free schedule. I have plenty of time for pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and can plan visits around their usual feeding, walking, and care schedule. Of course, I do need to know dates and responsibilities a few days in advance, but I am happy to work around your needs! I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone else’s pet and home. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep pets secure on walks and during visits, and pay attention to their behavior and comfort level. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and any space they need. I also respect each home and always leave everything clean and secure.
“Giovanny was awesome! He was kind, respectful and communicative. He was great with our pup. He followed our instructions and our pup loved him. We were even running late to get back home on time and Gio stayed until we returned. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Such an awesome guy! Just did a quick day trip celebrating my partners birthday. Super fast with communication, sent video and picture updates and Ace loved him! Cant wait to book again, we appreciate you!”
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.

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!

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!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - San Pedro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Pedro on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,062 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Pedro. 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 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.
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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Pedro. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
