“I’m very happy that Chieko took good care of my cat while I was out of town. She sent me pictures and updates every time she came, so that I could be sure my cat was doing OK. Not only taking care of my cat but she also took care of me how to navigate the app step by step. I’ll be requesting her again next time.”
“Susan was a lifesaver! She was able to help us in a pinch with our special dog Zoey. She took amazing care of Zoey and kept us updated everyday. We felt very comfortable with her in our home. We are so thankful for her help and so happy to find someone who loves and cares for Zoey. We will definitely be using Susan again.”
“Shu was awesome! She was super responsive, reliable, and great with Ason and Dilla. She kept us updated throughout the visit, sent lots of photos, took them on nice walks, made sure they had fresh water, and genuinely seemed to care about them. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Both dogs looked happy and comfortable with her, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We will absolutely use Shu again and highly recommend her!”
“Carolyn was awesome! She was very thorough, kept us updated with pictures and activities of our cats and they seemed to really enjoy their time with her. Will definitely contact her for future occasions!”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always been surrounded by animals. Before having my own children, I had two dogs of my own who were a huge part of my life. I absolutely love animals and believe they deserve kindness, patience, attention, playtime, and a lot of love. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making them feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy giving pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m available Monday - Friday after 3:00pm and available on some weekends. I do like to travel, so sometimes I’ll be busy. If you need weekend care, please don’t hesitate to reach out and inquire if my schedule doesn’t reflect those specific dates. I currently no longer have any pets in my home, which is why I am extending the extra time I do have, to share my care with others who need it. I would love to earn yours and your pets trust for any type of time or care your pet may need.
About: I have over a decade of dog care experience and currently have a 2 year old puppy. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your fur baby! I'm currently unemployed, so I have a lot of free time and am very flexible on days and times! I'm available on weekdays and can work with you on weekends if needed! I currently live in an apartment and can work with any amounts of space to help look after your dog! Mostly looking for just dog walking for now.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have earned a reputation among friends and family as the “cat whisperer.” I have a knack for connecting with cats of every temperament, from outgoing cuddle bugs to shy, fearful, independent, or extra-spicy cats who take a little more patience to win over. I have extensive experience with kittens, seniors, fostering, medications, special care routines, and challenging or defensive cats. I’m great at reading feline body language, respecting boundaries, and letting each cat decide how quickly we become friends. My own formerly-feral barn cats went from aggressive and completely standoffish to affectionate angel-babies who come running for attention; one of my proudest accomplishments! I also understand that trusting someone with your pet often means trusting them with your home. I’m a homeowner myself, and I take that responsibility seriously. My mom raised me to always leave a space better than I found it, and that’s something I still live by. I’m respectful of people’s privacy, belongings, and personal space, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I’d want someone to show mine. Cats are genuinely my specialty. Whether yours needs cuddles, playtime, medication, patience, or simply someone who understands when to leave them alone, I’ll meet them exactly where they are and make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care rather than trying to squeeze visits into a small window. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of quality time with your cat. I also understand that cats are creatures of habit, so I’m happy to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine and preferred schedule while you’re away. Safety and trust come first for me; both of your cat’s and your home’s. I follow each cat’s established routine closely, double-check doors and entry points, keep food, water, and litter areas clean, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall demeanor. As the owner of two formerly-feral barn cats, I’m especially aware of escape risks and how quickly a nervous or curious cat can make a break for it! I’m comfortable with shy, defensive, or unpredictable cats and never force interaction. I let them set the pace and work to earn their trust. When staying in or visiting someone’s home, I treat it as carefully as I would my own. I respect your privacy and belongings, keep things tidy, and follow any household instructions you leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, relaxed cat and a home that looks just as good, or better, than when you left it.
“I am so happy that I was able to book Sarah to take care of my baby while I was gone. It was the first time that I left him for a prolonged amount of time and having her watch over him let me enjoy my time away without worrying. Most importantly, my baby had a good time with her. Will definitely be asking her to help when the time comes again. Thank you Sarah! ♡︎”
“Kevin was amazing! he took care of Viv so well and made her feel really comfortable. He sent very detailed updates, which helped us be at ease since we don’t normally leave her alone I would definitely recommend Kevin as a pet sitter!!!”
“Stephanie was amazing as always! She is always on time, make sure my dog safe during walks+ knows how to handle a big dog, very nice and friendly with dogs. Tony immediately liked Stephanie! Highly highly recommend Stephan!”
“It was such peace of mind to know that our kitties were in the capable hands of Donny. It is always great to have a Rover sitter that you trust who takes great care of the family's furry monsters while away. Will definitely be a repeat booker!”
About: Hi, my name is Claire. I am a second generation, certified dog groomer. I managed my family-owned dog grooming business in the San Fernando Valley for 15 years before moving to the South Bay. Animal care is part of my genetic makeup. I am currently completing a double major at CSULB. My classes are stimulating, but as a lifelong animal lover I am missing my fur angels so much. I feel Rover gives me the freedom to make some new fur friends while I continue to study. Please reach out if you have any questions regarding my animal care expertise, I have been professionally handling canines in a multitude of capacities most of my life and have found dialogue is the best way to clarify your fur angel's necessities. Thank you for reading. Claire This summer I am currently volunteering once a week via zoom. Making this time ideal for me to spend some time with your fur angels. I have a fenced yard. I am also a very active person. My husband and I love to go for a walks the only thing that makes my daily walking better is having a furry companion accompany us.
About: Over the past 10 years or so I have spent time taking care of many of my neighbors pets while they go on vacation. I have taken care of their puppies and kitties by taking them on walks feeding and playing with them and watching their house overnight while they are away. I have expanded my experience by pet sitting for more than just my neighbors and connecting with people online when they need a pet sitter. I work part time and on my days off I enjoy taking neighbors dogs on walks or pet sitting their kitties while they are away in my free time. I usually pet sit for people in their homes. I follow the instructions given to me whether this is crating their pets at night, separating them if needed while eating, take them on walks and stay over night and comfort their pets if asked so they are not lonely and don’t tear up the house. I get the information as needed from owners for their pets triggers to make sure they are safe on walks and while in the home while family is away. I stay in the home if needed and instructed by the owners. I have my own two dogs and a cat. I am able to safely give pets medication if needed as I’ve learned how to do this with one of my dogs who is on several medications I also know where the emergency animal hospital is nearby if ever needed. I also have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have taken care of many different dogs and cats with different triggers, personalities and requirements over the past 10 or so years. I grew up with cats and dogs so I would consider my experience with animals much longer than 10 years but specifically doing it as a job would be about 10 years
“Courtney did an amazing job with our little Maltese Teddy. It was his first time being left at home and he can be quite nervous around new people. Courtney came twice a day to feed and walk Teddy and reassured us with notes and photos that all was well. Highly recommend Courtney’s service and would use her again and again. THANK YOU!!!”
About: I have a great amount of experience caring for my own pets, family & friends pets, clients pets, and even cats in an adoption center. My family and friends always come to me for any pet related advice or care they may possibly need. I am very particular in the way in which my own pets are cared for so I will make sure to follow any instructions given to me in order to meet your beloved pets needs. I have lots of experience in bathing, feeding, pottying, training, walking, giving medication, and anything else you can possibly need for your pet. I’ve interacted with various dog breeds and ages. I do work full time but I am fully available Tuesdays and Sundays. On Wednesday, Friday, and Saturdays I am available in the evenings once it’s 5pm. I am available early in the morning on Mondays and Thursdays. Anything past 9am on those days I unfortunately can't do. I will always try my best to make something work. Safety is my number one priority as it is in my own home. If your pet free roams I will try my best to make sure they can’t get into any trouble when not supervised. I like to make sure that all gear is fitted and in working condition before any outings. I also will not put them in any situations in which they may feel uncomfortable so if your pets don't like interacting with other dogs or people please let me know.
“Anastasia wass great! My cats can be suspicious of new people and they both took to Anastasiia right away. She did a great job of taking care of them while I was gone!”
“My cats instantly trusted Ciai, which says a lot! She fed them, cleaned their litter, and spent time playing with them so they weren’t lonely. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel at ease while I was away. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Torrance is $25

Kaydin took such great care of my cat!! He doesn't always warm up to people until a few meetings in, but immediately was so comfy and excited to see and get pets from Kaydin (animals always know when they have found a trustworthy human). Will be booking again for sure!
This is our second time having Sami take care of our precious cat and again, we are blown away with how seamless she makes the process be! She's always prompt, open to adjustments in the care schedule in-between visits, and so kind/respectful to our space. If you have a fur baby that needs care, we'd highly recommend booking with her! You're mind will definitely be at ease knowing they are in great hands.
I am happy with Vanessa being our cat nanny. My cat loved her. When we came back he wasn’t stressed out or depressed. He was active, looking healthy and happy. She left adorable notes every time of visiting him. I highly appreciate Vanessa’s work. She is an amazing person. I had an outstanding communication with her. I highly recommend Vanessa as a pet sitter. We would love her to come to our cat again.
So happy to have found Lisa to look after my babies!! Lisa is extremely responsible and responsive-had a very thorough check ins with me after each visits. came for the check in on time each assigned day!! :) Looked like my cats enjoyed her visits as well. i definitely will be rebooking when our schedules align.

Ruby was absolutely amazing!! 🥹💕 My kitties adored her! Even when our Litter-Robot unexpectedly went offline in the middle of the night because of a WiFi connection issue, I reached out to her, and she was so accommodating! She came earlier than scheduled at the last minute to check on it and spend extra time with my babies. Talk about going above and beyond! 🐾❤️ My cautious little princess, Suki Bear, even came out to hang out with Ruby and her brother AND let Ruby pet her! That says a lot because Suki doesn’t warm up to just anyone! 🥹 Tommy Boy was his usual energetic, playful self and absolutely loved all the attention and playtime! I had such peace of mind knowing my babies were in loving hands while we were away. A++++ service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My kitties and I can’t thank you enough, Ruby! We’ve officially found our go-to kitty sitter for all our future trips! Highly, highly recommend! 💕🐱
Aleksandr always goes above and beyond whenever he takes care of our cat. He is very reliable, he visited our cat on a predictable schedule and fed him, cleaned up after him, gave him pets and played with him. He also sent us a few pictures and a short description about how things went each day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Torrance is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $42 per visit. 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 20,236 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Torrance. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Torrance. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
