“Joanne is wonderful! She is incredibly attentive and in tune with our dogs, and sends regular updates and pics. If Joanne watches your pups, you can rest assured that they will be well cared for and loved.”
“Reina was great with all of our animals. She is knowledgeable and attentive, and made sure we got lots of pictures and updates when we were away. She stayed at our place and was tidy and left our guest bedroom spotless. Would definitely hire again.”
“We booked Chieko last minute again and she always accommodates. We love that Chieko stays with our pup for the duration of the booking. Our pup gets very anxious when left alone. Thank you Chieko!”
“I would give Brooke 10 stars if it were an option. She was extremely attentive, communicative, reliable, and so sweet to my kitty. She also took great care of my place in my absence and left it better than she found it. Cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Andrea is so responsible for! I had an ant infestation and she took action and cleaned everything up. Hattie loves her also so I feel in great hands when I have to leave.”
About: Hi! I’m Alexis, a lifelong animal lover who knows how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, age, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who may need a little extra patience and attention. For puppies, I’m happy to keep up with frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, enrichment, and the routines and training you’re already working on at home. For older dogs, I’m comfortable adjusting activity levels, providing a little extra TLC, and following more detailed care routines. I’m also comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and keeping your pet company while you’re away. I can follow detailed care instructions and medication schedules, including administering routine oral and topical medications as directed by pet parents. My healthcare background has made me especially attentive to routines, instructions, and changes in behavior or well-being. I understand that some dogs want to be your instant best friend, while others need a little extra patience and time to warm up — I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. I take pet care seriously and will always treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to provide plenty of photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Whether you need walks, drop-in visits, medication support, puppy care, senior care, or simply someone to keep your dog company while you’re away, I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine, including specific feeding times, walks, medications, or other daily needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, and needs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and medication schedules, including administering routine oral and topical medications as directed. I’ll provide attentive, loving care, keep your pet’s environment clean and secure, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. I've helped birth and raise puppies and kittens, I've fostered dozens of cats and dogs, including those who are still not weaned or have disabilities that require specialty care. I also have experience with exotic pets. I am currently in school to become a veterinarian. I am currently taking online classes, so I am able to work long hours with no worries about scheduling interference. I currently do not have another job. I have experience with pets of all sizes, needs, and temperaments. I am comfortable with applying medication, walking, and any other needs that may come up.
“I’m a so happy we chose Ivy. She went over all our pet instructions and loved my fur babies . Ivy sent daily pictures and responded within minutes to any questions or concerns.. She went above and beyond taking care of my house in the process. I trust Ivy and look forward to another wonderful experience choosing Ivy. Thank you so much Ivy”
“Dawson did an amazing job of caring for Steel in my home. I will for sure use them again while out of town. Very happy to be able to leave him at home where he is comfortable and know he is well cared for.”

“Jantzen took amazing care of my dogs, chickens, and house while we were gone for several days. We were super pleased which the love and attention he gave my two (somewhat needy) dogs. I highly recommend him!”
“I am over the moon that we found Alexa! We booked Alexa for a weekend house sitting. She was so sweet, incredibly attentive with our dog Cole, sent us ADORABLE pictures, and kept our house clean! If you need a reliable and caring pet sitter, don’t even think twice and book Alexa! Thank you so much for caring for our sweet boy!”

“Morgan was amazing!! Even with a busy work travel schedule, she still made the time to do a meet and greet with us before the stay. She left our home even better than she left it, even vacuuming a bit and brushing our two goldens without us asking. Her communication was great and she made sure to send us updates and pictures the whole time we were away. Our girls loved her and we will definitely use her again!”

Rima was great!! She made it easy. Chloe was so happy with her - and she's not happy with everyone. Rima is a woman of her word - a rare find these days. I will book with her in the future! She was tentative, understanding, and kind - it was like having a friend stay at our place.🫶
Sid took amazingly good care of our two needy pups while we vacationed in Europe for an entire month. He sent us pictures daily (twice daily actually) and kept us well informed on the dog’s behaviors as well as keeping the house clean and tidy. Second time we’ve used Sid and it won’t be the last.
We just booked with Brooke, who happened to be our very first pet sitter we’ve ever hired - and it’s been 10 years with our pup 😂😅 we had an incredible experience with Brooke! She helped keep our senior dog company & watched our home while we left town on a VERY last minute trip. I booked her within 24 hours of leaving for the trip and she responded instantly and followed all the directions for our senior dog’s care, to a T. She kept our home clean & tidy, offered to do laundry?! And was a great house guest. We’re new to the area & don’t have friends or family close by… let alone someone we’d trust our senior dog with! Was so grateful to have found Brooke and no longer feel like we have nobody to turn to if an emergency arises again. Will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future!
Natalie was amazing anyone looking should book her as soon as possible! She was on time, communicative, polite, and left the house in great condition. My nervous quirky dog loved her right away and she was very responsive to his needs. Will definitely book again!
Joanne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Mezzi, and truly went above and beyond for us. Mezzi can be a very anxious dog, and the week before our wedding, our apartment was being fumigated, which made an already stressful week even more complicated. Joanne was incredibly understanding and flexible — she stayed at our Airbnb with Mezzi for a night and then brought her safely back to our apartment once the fumigation was finished. Throughout everything, Joanne was so responsive and sent us tons of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was patient and caring with Mezzi and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. She also left our apartment in perfect shape for us to come home to, which we really appreciated after such a crazy week. We are so grateful we found Joanne and would absolutely trust her with Mezzi again.
We feel so lucky to have found Morgan as a dog sitter! Our Lab is surprisingly not much of a snuggler, but she was cuddled up with Morgan from day one, which immediately put our minds at ease. Morgan was incredibly communicative, sent us lots of photos and updates, and handled our high energy (strong) Lab wonderfully. We also came home to a spotless house, including fresh, clean bedding, which was such a lovely treat after travelling. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking Morgan again!
Elle is an amazing dog sitter! She met with us in advance of our 10 day trip to meet our dog, had excellent communication and took great care of our dog. She went above and beyond with daily picture and text updates and multiple walks. We definitely plan on asking her to dog sit our pup again in the future.
Allen was excellent! From the time we met at the initial meet & greet, he went out of his way to connect with my fur baby. He plopped down on the floor w/her, let her sniff him, and immediately showed her love and attention. During the visit, he sent pictures and kept me updated on a regular basis. When I returned home, my dog was happy, well cared for, and my house was spotless! I would recommend him 100% if you need a dog and house sitter!!
Katherine was fantastic. She was punctual and professional and she kept me up to date on the pups over the long weekend while I was out of town. She sent a number of photos and took excellent care of my two dogs. I would highly recommend Katherine, and I will certainly have her help me out again in the future.
Jackie was such a wonderful home and pet sitter! She sent multiple updates a day with photos and engaged with my kitty above and beyond what I was expecting — she even helped reinforce training we’d started before I left on my trip. She checked in with me when the power went out unexpectedly and the fire alarm false triggered, and was generous and understanding about the inconveniences. She left my home clean and well cared for. I’d absolutely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Torrance is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $117 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 14,529 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Torrance. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
