“I reached out to Victoria less than 48h before I needed a dog walker and she was absolutely fantastic! She was was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet, and the day of the walk she offered a detailed update on how it went. After a not great experience on Rover a few months ago with a different dog walker, I can say that Victoria has renewed my faith in walkers/sitters on this platform. When I need someone to walk my dog in the future, Victoria will be the person I turn to first.”
About: Ive always had pets since I was a kid. I've cared for exotics...parrots, hedgehogs, lots of cats, dogs, and treat them like my own children. As a retired pharmacist, I am comfortable giving medications. I am retired, live alone and have no commitments. I spend my time playing with my pets and walking my corgi so I have time for new friends I have a fenced yard. My cats are indoor. I have a catio in the summer for my cats to have a safe space to get fresh air.
About: Young and old. Short ones, tall ones, furry ones, and even bald ones! As a child and to this day, I’ve cared for a variety of fur-babies, including my own. Lots of walks, playtime, plus food and treats. The best time is always when one is having fun outside playing fetch or even simply chilling on the couch with your best-canine-friend! I’m currently semi-retired and will have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m available for housesitting(Mon-Wed-Fri), walking (Mon-Wed-Fri) and overnight (Mon though to Fri). When caring for your pet in your home, will follow the routine of your fur-baby, including medication, if needed. If your pet is chill, we will chill. If your pet wants to walk and play, ok!
About: Caring for others, both people and animals, has always been an important part of my life. Compassion and caregiving are a big part of who I am. I volunteered for several years with Hospice Services in Lindsay, providing support to people with life limiting illnesses, and continue to help seniors in my community with appointments, advocacy and companionship. I’m also an animal advocate and have volunteered with the Ontario Turtle Trauma Centre, helping transport injured and rehabilitated turtles. While cats are my specialty, I’m also comfortable caring for small and medium-sized dogs. I currently share my home with my beloved pup Duke who is a high anxiety Cockapoo and our elderly cat Chica (technically she shares her home with us). I love the outdoors and enjoy trail walking and kayaking, so getting outside for a good dog walk is something I genuinely enjoy. Most importantly, I understand the trust involved in leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to give each pet the patience, attention and companionship they need so you can be away knowing they are in caring and dependable hands. As of late October 2026 I plan to devote my time to pet care so I will be available 7 days a week throughout the day or evenings. Sharing my home with a high anxiety dog I know to be cautious when approaching other dogs who are out for a walk. And my sneaky cat who attempts to escape a few times each summer, has taught me to be very observant and cautious when opening doors to ensure indoor pets remain safe.
About: Hi there! thanks for checking out my profile. Happy to have you here. I will leave a brief but detailed synopsis about myself and my experience working with pets. My goal is to help you make an informed decision regarding your pet's stay while you are away. My name is Vee. I am a university student full of vibrant energy and a love for pets. I have five years of documented experience in pet sitting. I have had pets of all sorts and breed under my care. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs, birds, horses and reptiles I have attended to. I am well vexed in this field as I volunteered with an animal shelter catering to older pets. I loved it! I am certified in CPR for pets should an emergency arise. I take pride in my vigilance and accessibility. I am a student of life and love to learn as much as I can and build amazing friendships with pet owners while taking great care of their pets! I would also like to describe myself as trustworthy. I am organized and my love for pets shows in various aspects. I have excellent multitasking and communication skills. I am also really good at recalling names. Cruelty-free enthusiast. Can’t wait to meet you and start taking care of these amazing pets! Thank you for trusting me to care for your babies while you take a well-deserved break 😊 I am available all year round to accept bookings and do my best to respond to bookings in a timely manner. I am honest and transparent about my hours and will not take any more bookings than necessary. I am extremely passionate about this business. I try not to overwhelm myself as this is important to me. I aim to be the best sitter I can be and strive for perfection each stay. I do not overcharge for stays and my low prices for stays are deliberate. I do this for the company as I enjoy having pets around while I study. It's a win-win. I formulated a couple of games to occupy and tire out your pet for the entirety of their stay. I will send photos of the entirety of the stay and keep in touch so you have peace of mind. I have spare toys in my care also, but always recommend bringing your own. I have had pets with severe anxiety and having a piece of home, be it a blanket or toys that smell like home helps a ton. As far as safety, I have a fenced yard in my apartment and will never let a pet off-leash especially if your pet does not have any recall. I enjoy practicing training with pets also and have successfully conditioned some to learn commands. I offer grooming services as well at no extra cost, except showers/baths. Your pet is in safe hands and you will have nothing to worry about while they are in my care. I will make sure of that.
“It was love at first sight for our Akita, Moka, when she met Marilyn. Although generally friendly, Moka is typically aloof with new people. However it was like she’d known Marilyn for years when they met, and she clearly enjoyed their nature walks while we were away. Even though we are back, I’m thinking I’ll need to at least do a weekly walk, so that Moka can see her new best friend!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets throughout the years. I'm currently working part-time remotely and have the time to work during regular business hours, evenings and weekends. Ideally from 8am - 9pm, Monday - Sunday! I have a fenced yard, can easily crate your dog if needed and love going on long walks throughout the day. I live close to many hiking trails!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Long Beach. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Long Beach after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Long Beach with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
walkers 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 walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 Long Beach 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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
