“LOVE BETHANY!!! She is sweet, amazing with my pups, and extremely responsible. She replied to my inquiry immediately, and scheduled a meeting with me and the dogs for the following day. My difficult pup loved her, and my loving pup was even more excited to have her come over even though I was gone. I had Bethany house-sit for a long weekend, and received numerous photos and updates on my fur babies. I was nervous to leave them at home, but was able to leave with confidence that my babes would be cared for. If I could give 6 stars I would. Thanks Bethany!”
“Emily was lovely. She stayed at our home for a long weekend with our 16 year old cat Bear. Bear was very content when we got home and the house was exactly as we left it. Thank you, Emily!”
“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: 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.
“Britney was wonderful with my cat, definitely recommend! While away for 2 weeks, she was excellent with communication, sent pictures regularly and just a really nice person that I knew I could fully trust and count on. I came home to my cat happy and healthy. I'll always book with her if she's available!”
“Danielle was incredibly cheerful, professional and responsive and she took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were out of town for a week. She sent us regular updates and kept our place clean. We would definitely hire Danielle again the next time we need a dog sitter, and we highly recommend her to anyone else in need of someone to look after their pups.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for 6 years now. From abused dogs to bottle fed kittens. I’ve always loved animals and it is my passion to care for them. Right now I work a regular 9-5 with a 1 hour lunch. thats just enough time to make sure your pet get care in the morning and night with a regular check in mid day. Saturday and Sundays i’m off which lets me give your baby all the love it deserves! I care for all animals the way I would want mine cared for. Lots of love, plenty of food, and the necessary exercise. To be an animal lover is to love all animals equally.
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve always naturally connected with animals and genuinely enjoy being around them. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I know every pet has a different personality, so I try to make them feel relaxed, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. I currently work a hybrid schedule, so I carefully manage my availability to make sure I can provide dependable care and attention during bookings. I’m mainly available Monday-Wednesday and always make time for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and updates throughout the stay. I like keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow owner instructions carefully, respect clients’ homes, and prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised. I’m naturally very patient, calm, and communicative, and I’ll make sure to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“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!”
“Kyle did amazing with Bene, taking great care of him during his stay at our home. He left the house spotless as well and we're excited to book him again for next time”
“Amanda was really sweet to my boy Gauge. Gauge is a big guy and can be a little slow to warm to new people but he took to Amanda right away. She was friendly and punctual and I'd definitely book her again. Thanks for everything, Amanda!”
“Wonderful experience with Hannah. From the start, she was communicative, keeping us updated on anything that came up and asking thoughtful questions to make sure our dogs stayed healthy and happy. It was clear Hannah genuinely cared—she made sure they got plenty of walks and exercise, and her regular updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. What stood out most was how well Hannah got to know their individual personalities. Her comments and observations showed she wasn’t just watching them, she was truly connecting with them. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again. Highly recommend!”
“Elissa got along with our two dogs very well, giving them good exercise and lots of attention. She was very responsive and understanding. We’ll be in touch when we need a dogsitter again!”
“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: Hello! My name is Sunny and I’ve been a dog lover ever since I could remember. I’ve owned and took care of dogs my entire life and treat every dog like it came from my wound. To me, I treat every dog I take care of as if they were my own babies and I spoil them with a lot of love, care, and attention because they deserve it! I have experience in bathing and grooming my own dogs and I can do the same for your pup upon request. My dog would love to have furry friends come visit and stay with us so rover is the perfect opportunity for that. Also, my partner and I live together so you’ll get the love and attention of two dog lovers! Rest assured your furbaby will be in good hands with us. I’m an anxious dog mom whenever I have to leave my furbaby at home so we’d be more than happy to send updates, pics/videos of your furbaby for a piece of mind during their stay with us. I work from home, so your pup will have constant companionship, attention, and care throughout the day - no long hours alone. I take my dog to a nearby park every day and would love for your dog to join us for fresh air and playtime. We also go on 3–4 walks daily to keep them happy, active, and stimulated. I’m rarely away for more than 1–2 hours at a time, so you can feel confident your dog is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment. They’ll stay indoors and can be crated if that’s your preference. I have a small, friendly dog who can provide companionship, and there’s plenty of space for your pup to relax and play. I maintain a very clean home—paws are wiped after every walk, and I also clean their potty area to keep everything fresh and hygienic. Dogs are welcome on the furniture as long as they’re clean, and I’m happy to wash their paws before they settle in. Your dog will be treated with the same level of care, attention, and cleanliness as my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Pedro
Wow I was so impressed with Dani. I had never left my dog with anyone but a family member so I was very worried about leaving him with someone he never met previously but Dani was great with my dog. She was very accommodating and kept me informed with pictures and text messages. My dog is a senior dog and takes medication daily and has trouble walking downstairs; Dani had no issue with doing what was needed to take care him. I highly recommend her.
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.

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!
Si-Mon is an angel and an incredible pet sitter. She took such great care of my boy while I was out of town for a week. It was the longest we had been apart and my dog experienced some separation anxiety. She stayed with him all night to help calm his nerves and stayed in communication with us the entire time we were gone with photos and videos.

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 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 13,969 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
