“I really enjoy working with JoAnne. She takes amazing care of my senior chihuahua, following all of my instructions to make sure he is happy and safe. Her communication is fantastic as I ask for as many pictures as possible and she always delivers. I can tell JoAnne really cares about my pup and I really couldn’t ask for better care. I highly recommend her services if you are in need of someone to trust with your fur baby. Thank you JoAnne!”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember; I’ve had several of all sizes throughout my life, and they were like siblings to me. I love dogs of all kinds; wherever I go, they seek me out, greet me, and let me pet them. I think that’s a great sign that I connect with them. I am a freelance videographer and video editor. I set my own schedule, so at any moment I can pause my editing work to go walk dogs or look after my son's cat when he travels. Yes, often. I take two dogs for a walk every day; I've been doing it for years, and babysitting my son's cat when he travels.
“Elizabeth is like a spark plug- full of energy and positivity. She is wonderful as a pet sitter and house sitter. She has saved me last minute more than once .She has been wonderful with all my crazy pets. I look forward to having her in my home much more in the future!”
“Allen is an awesome dog sitter! We have two high energy doodles, one of whom is blind, and he took really good care of them while we were away. He sent plenty of pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and when he left, they were standing at the guest bedroom door looking for him. We highly recommend Allen!”
“Absolutely perfect. Jihae watched our three dogs while staying at our house for several nights while we were away. As basically a complete stranger, she went above and beyond what we asked of her, was super communicative, and was overall just perfect. I highly highly recommend.”
“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.”
“We love having Reina sit for our lab Elton! She is always super friendly and provides great updates throughout her visit. She is very mindful when staying at our place and leaves it in better shape than we do! Truly one of the best”
“Erik has a heart and passion for dogs. He's not just a sitter, he's committed to Odin's needs. Odin's breed can be misunderstood and be labeled as difficult by some. Erik has been wonderful at keeping odin on schedule and using the activities I suggest to drain Odin mentally and physically. EVERY time I've come home after Erik's been with Odin, he's been balanced. (Which says a lot as Odin learns to how to navigate his separation anxiety). I feel safe and confident leaving Odin with Erik. I'm sure you will too!”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
“I am very happy with the care Casey gave my Dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her. She sent me pictures and updates so I can see how they’re doing. I diffently would like for Casey to sit for me again next time I go away.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid I used to watch my neighbors dogs. I also managed a dog hotel for five years. I would love to be a dog trainer and I just have such a loving heart for animals. They hold a very special place in my heart. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, allowing me to provide flexible and attentive care for your furry family members. I currently have an open schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and making sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for them. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am very well trained in dog behavior. I worked at a dog hotel with 800 dogs and managed it. I have a huge heart and no what they need. I would love to come housesit and take care of your pet as if it was my own.
About: Hi! My name is Taylor & I’m a lifelong animal lover. I’ve had dogs & cats my entire life, so caring for them & connecting with them has always felt natural to me. I’ve worked with all kinds of breeds & personalities. Because of that, whether a dog is big, tiny, energetic, shy, or anything in between, I feel completely comfortable. Dogs are 100% little angels & gifts. They depend on our love & care, & I’m genuinely grateful every time someone trusts me with their fur baby. I treat every pet like my own & always go above & beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, & loved. I know how important it is to trust your dog sitter, & I value that responsibility with my whole heart. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. I’d love to meet you both & set up a booking whenever you’re ready. Thanks! 😊 I currently work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with your pup throughout the day. I love being able to take them on 2–3 walks, give them lots of attention, & make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I truly love animals & will treat your pup like my own. I have a spacious one-bedroom apartment with a park conveniently located right next to my complex, making it easy for pups to get plenty of fresh air, exercise, & enrichment. I live a very active lifestyle & regularly walk about 5 miles a day, so your dog will have lots of opportunities to get out & explore. Most dogs in my care enjoy at least 1–2 hours of walks daily, depending on their age, energy level, & individual needs. Whether we’re strolling through the neighborhood, walking along the beach, or hitting a local hiking trail, I love making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, & adventure they deserve. When I’m house sitting, I care for your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I’m incredibly grateful for the trust my clients place in me, & I always make sure to thoroughly clean up after myself & leave your home just as I found it. I also know how important updates are when you’re away from your furry family member! I send lots of photos throughout the day, including updates from walks, meals, treats, playtime, relaxation time, & bedtime, so you can feel connected & know exactly how your pet is doing. And if your pup is used to sleeping in bed with their humans, that’s perfectly fine with me! My goal is to make them feel as comfortable, loved, & at home as possible while you’re away. I truly love caring for animals & treat every pet as if they were my own. 😊
“This is my second booking with Flo & Sid, and this is experience was just as great as the first time. Sid took care of our dog Jeff for 4 days, and provided us with real time updates and photos throughout each day. Jeff went on so many walks, and enjoyed daily cuddles with Sid. Would highly recommend and I’ll definitely book Flo & Sid again whenever we’re in need of a sitter!”
“Kerry was phenomenal. Her pet sitting with us was a true adventure (from the wrong keys being left with an ensuing multi hour debacle to get in, to a dog managing to hide herself in a closed closet from NYE fireworks.) She won over Hazel after the challenging start, kept her company and was so patient and kind with our sweet but special dog. I would absolutely recommend Kerry for any pet, but especially for those like ours who have some unique needs despite being a velcro hippo once she trusts you!”
“Kristin was amazing!! Our dogs loved being with her. They were so happy when we returned. She gave them lots of snuggles, treats, and love. Also, we returned to a very tidy and clean home. Thank you so much, Kristin! We will for sure hire you in the future!”
About: I am dedicated to creating a nurturing, safe, and dependable experience for each of your furry family members. I believe it starts with building a trustworthy connection between myself and the owner. My goal is to provide your pet with the same love, patience, and attentive care that I would give my own, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for many animals such as bearded dragons, tortoises, hamsters, varieties of fish, guinea pigs and dogs. I have also worked with service dogs through community volunteer opportunities. I've cared for many pets of friends and family over the years. I truly love getting to know and learning each of their personalities. Caring for a variety of different animals has strengthened my ability to adapt my care towards each pet's own unique personality and routine. As a college student home for the summer, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to work around your pet's schedule or needs. Being a student athlete, movement is a big part of my daily life. I enjoy staying active and would love to keep your pet company through walks, playtime, and providing plenty of attention. When caring for pets, I take the time to learn their preferences, schedules, and personalities so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I strive to provide the same level of care and attention that I give my own pets. My top priority is reliable communication with you ensuring a safe and calm experience for you and your pet!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines.

I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and daily routines. Whether it’s energetic puppies, playful cats, or senior pets who need extra care and attention, I’m committed to providing the same care and affection I would give my own pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during mornings, weekends, and other available times throughout the week.

I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I know that keeping their normal routine helps reduce stress, so I follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have.
“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!”

It was the first time in our young pups (6 mos and 18 mos) that we needed to leave them😢 but we were very grateful to have found Sid! He was an instant hit with the pups at our meet & greet, so we felt he would be a good match and take great care of our girls and we were right. He was very communicate, sent fabulous pictures and never left us wondering about how things were going. If you are able to book with him your furry friend(s) will be in excellent hands.
Jasmine is a true gem! This was the fourth time she has taken care of our dogs for walks , and we completely trusted her for a weekend with sleep over both nights . She guided us with the whole process which we were new about it. She suggested first a few walks to get the animals used to her. She watched them from Friday to Sunday, took them on three walks a day, and kept us updated throughout the weekend with photos and messages. She even sent us an update at 7 a.m. when our cat, Osi, woke up for breakfast, which really showed how attentive she is! Also one of my puppies has anxiety separation and is hard to warm up to people. In less than a day I could see on pics how happy and safe my dogs was feeling with her. She knew was our first time leaving our pets at night in our home. She is reliable, caring, sweet and our pets are always happy and comfortable with her. Her prices are also very reasonable, and the level of care she provides is outstanding. You can tell that being a pet sitter comes from nurturing and passion to animals.We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
Morgan was so fun to meet and speak with. She has a long history of taking care of animals and was not the least bit shy with my mini zoo. Morgan asked important questions regarding my senior pet . She also wanted to know daily routines and feeding schedules. I really enjoyed meeting Morgan and I will definitely book her again!
Jackie was amazing! She took such good care of our dog while we were gone for over 2 weeks. We hate leaving him, but felt very grateful to have such a responsible and loving person with him. We got regular updates and pictures. She even got him extra treats and gave him a bath. We hope Jackie will come back next time to watch our doggie!
If I could give JoAnne more than 5 stars, I would. We hired her to stay with our Great Dane, Gandalf, for three days while we were camping. He had just had surgery, so this wasn’t a typical pet-sitting job. She stayed with him around the clock, administered all of his medications, monitored his recovery, and gave us complete peace of mind. JoAnne kept us updated throughout every day with photos, videos, and thoughtful messages, so we always knew exactly how Gandalf was doing. It was so clear how deeply she understands animals. She has an incredible intuition, endless patience, and a genuine love for the pets she cares for. What completely blew us away was everything she did beyond caring for Gandalf. She unexpectedly cleaned our home, folded our laundry, and even washed all of our bedding so we came home after traveling to fresh, clean sheets. It was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture and something we never expected. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and an immaculate house honestly felt unreal. JoAnne is the real deal. She’s one of those rare people who genuinely loves both animals and people, and it shows in everything she does. We trust her completely and won’t hesitate to book her again. She is an absolute gem, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their pets.
Absolutely perfect. Jihae watched our three dogs while staying at our house for several nights while we were away. As basically a complete stranger, she went above and beyond what we asked of her, was super communicative, and was overall just perfect. I highly highly recommend.
Grace was absolutely amazing. As a first time rover user, she took away all the stress and worry I had leaving my boy alone for the first time. She was communicative, patient, sent daily updates and pictures, and overall was very kind and respectful of our space. We will be sure to use her again.
Sophie is the best! She is very responsive, sends us updates, and a very nice person! Our dog Theo loves her and she cared for him so well. I was nervous booking a sitter because it’s our first time to ever leave our puppy for a long time and she definitely made us feel at ease that she is a reliable and nice person. We will definitely book her again. I highly recommend her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jack was beyond wonderful with our very sassy yet loving Cavapoo, Coconut. We were a bit weary about this process and weren’t sure what to expect but meeting Jack for the first time along with how he took care of our precious Coconut quickly dissolved any of those apprehensions. He was so timely, attentive, detail-oriented and loving towards Coconut.He demonstrates good judgment and is so kind and considerate. We just really appreciated him. Thank you so much, Jack. We are so grateful to you!!
You won’t regret it if you hire Allen. He is outstanding! Allen easily managed our furry beast. Chloe is a Chinese slaughterhouse rescue and has some serious trust issues but Allen quickly won her over and was giving her belly rubs in no time. He also took great care of our home, leaving it better than he found it! We are so pleased with Allen and will definitely hire him again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Torrance on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,743 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Torrance. 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 Torrance 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 Torrance 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 Torrance 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 Torrance. 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.
