Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

My tenant brought an unauthorized pet on the property and into the unit. The tenant was given a letter to remedy the situation to have the pet removed immediately. Can I give a 24 hour notice to enter the unit to verify the pet has been removed in California?
