“Eleanor was great! Would definitely work with her again. She was willing to come the day before to meet my dog, brought in a package that came, and sent us pictures while we were gone. She took great care of our dog by taking her on an extra long walk. She also had great communication through the day letting us know when she got there/left. She did amazing!”

“I have had Marie come stay with my dog two times now and Wilbur just loved her from the beginning and I dont trust him with very many people but I do trust him with Marie. she's awesome!!”

About: I have over 16 years experience as a veterinary assistant. I'm familiar with senior care, medicating,, giving fluids and all the basics of feeding and entertaining. I'm happy to help with all ages of dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. My sons and I currently have a bearded dragon and leopard ghecko too. I can't wait to build more relationships with my neighbors and their beloved animals. I look forward to meeting you! At the moment I am completely available. I don't have any restrictions in my schedule. I look forward to making new fur friends and getting to know more of my neighbors. I am only able to offer pet care and over nights in your home and dog walks. Unfortunately I am not allowed to have other pets over night where I am currently residing.
“Allison did an amazing job taking care of our puppy dog while we were away for Thanksgiving. She sent us lots of photos and our baby girl clearly adored her. We felt at ease knowing she was in good hands.”

About: Besides caring for my dogs I have a lot of experience. I’ve fostered old dogs until they happily passed. I’ve administered medication. I’m also a medical assistant so injections are not scary. I work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits during evenings and on weekends. Boarding may also be available depending on the dates and whether your pet is comfortable around my resident dogs. I’ll always confirm that I can fully accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions while maintaining a clean and secure environment. I have friendly resident dogs, and introductions will be supervised to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. He’s usually scared and anxious with strangers but he warmed up quickly with Emma. She sent us pictures and updated us throughout the day.”

About: my lifelong experience sets me apart from other sitters because my family would always positively recommend me to their friends. I am experienced with foster animals and pet sitting through years of helping a shelter worker and caring for her dogs. I’m attentive, reliable, and love working with all kinds of pets. I am currently working parttime as a preschool teacher but i am available on weekdays after 12. Mornings during the weekday are my only busy period. the care for pets varies depending on owners request. In the past, I have always followed clients requested bathroom and feeding schedules. if you have any questions, feel free to message or call me.

“Marissa and her son are fantastic! They communicate and send pictures often. She follows our detailed care instructions. Her knowledge as a vet tech means our two dogs are in very safe hands. She also takes good care of our house and makes sure it is clean and tidy upon our arrival. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter they can trust their pets and house to.”

About: Hi, I'm Deeanna! I'm a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of pet-care experience, and I truly believe our pets are family. I'm a patient, attentive, and detail-oriented pet sitter who takes the time to understand each animal's individual personality, routine, and needs. Some pets are immediately outgoing and playful, while others need a little more time to feel comfortable with someone new. I never rush that process—I let pets come to me at their own pace and give them the patience, reassurance, and attention they need. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, and I'm comfortable following detailed instructions so your pet's routine stays as familiar as possible while you're away. Whether that means meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll make sure they receive thoughtful and dependable care. I'm also a proud cat mom to Kylo and Leia, my two babies. Being a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your animals. That's why communication is a big part of my service. I provide photo and message updates with my bookings, so you'll be able to see how your pet is doing and know they're safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks and hikes, and getting to know the unique personalities of the animals I care for. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I'd be happy to meet you and your pets and learn what makes them happiest! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and plan my availability carefully so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Because every booking is different, I'm happy to discuss your pet's routine and the timing that works best for their needs. I value reliability and communication, and I'll make sure we have a clear plan before your booking begins. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet parent's instructions carefully and take the time to understand your pet's normal routine before you leave. I pay close attention to details such as feeding schedules, medications or special instructions when applicable, bathroom routines, behavior, and anything else you want me to know. I understand that every pet is different, so I never assume that one approach works for everyone. Shy pets may need extra patience, energetic pets may need more play and activity, and senior or more independent pets may simply appreciate a calm, dependable presence. I'll make sure your pets have access to fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, and the care and attention they need while you're away. I also provide photo and message updates, so you'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel safe and cared for, and for you to have peace of mind while you're away. ❤️
About: I am always available to work. Can work with difficult schedules or last minute emergency’s that come up. Every time I watch a dog, I make sure to give them my full attention and make no plans. I make sure to give them all my time. I don’t schedule any personal time that requires me to be away from them. I will make sure to include any activities that I can take your pet with me so they are not alone. Plenty of room in the house for your puppy to play and run. Also live really close to make different trails and hikes to take them to play and walk.
“Amelia was helpful, responsive, and incredibly responsible with both my pups and my home. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their dogs. The pics she sent me throughout the day were welcome and her amiable demeanor helped myself and my dogs relax.”


“Brandee was wonderful. She took excellent care of my fur babies, and my home. She cleaned up accidents, let workers in, and made my boys feel loved and cared for in my absence. She sent frequent updates and pictures, and could not have done a better job. I cannot recommend her enough!”


About: I have been a pet-sitter for nearly a decade. I was working with Peace of Mind Pet Concierge in Long Beach before they moved out of state and sadly closed their business. I have learned from the best and am always ready to care for pups and kitties anytime. I am comfortable with providing medication and giving the best care all animals deserve. I have my own pup and kitties, so I know how important it is to make sure my clients know their babies are good in hands with me. I work part time at the Crooked Duck and District 4 Pizza. So I’m always around in the neighborhood. Maybe you’ve already seen me at the restaurants!! 😄😄 I still pet sit on the side from families I already work with outside of Rover. I have also volunteered at Long Beach Animal Care Services at their Pet Food Express location in Bixby Knolls. I have ample time in my day to help with petsitting in and around my area. I care very much about the safety of pets and abide by all rules for which families have in place to ensure their pets stay safe. Some families have requested cats stay in certain parts of the home, while dogs stay in another. I am aware, respectful, and always follow the instructions of families’ requests.
About: I’ve always had a passion for training my dogs, since I started reading books about the subject I have learned how to understand their behaviors and needs, create a bond with them and grow a loving relationship with them while being able to teach and guide them how you want. I’m usually available throughout the week, only on friday afternoons I leave home to take care of my kids for the weekend and then back available on mondays I like to learn and stick to their usual habits to keep them stress free. I only take care on clients homes since my aunt runs a day care at home
About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.
About: With a wealth of experience caring for dogs and cats since I was 15, you can trust that I'll ensure their safety and well-being at all times! Remote work allows me to be a constant companion for your pet throughout the day. Additionally, I'm more than happy to take your furry friend on a walk every two hours if that suits their needs. With a spacious balcony and ample room, I can comfortably crate your furry friend if necessary. My place is expansive enough for them to explore and stay entertained, ensuring they have a delightful stay.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. From cats to dogs and even a goat, I’ve experienced it all. My family and I regularly house puppies and kittens from Tijuana, Mexico in our home until we are able to find them their forever home here in the states, so it is safe to say that I am well equipped for the needs of your furry friend(s). As someone who drives to the beach for a sunset walk on a daily basis I’d love to be able to bring your friend(s) along for the ride ☺️ I currently am working Monday - Wednesday full time but am open every other day of the week as I am still in school. That being said, I would be completely open to care for your pet(s) and give them the same attention they’d receive at home Thursday- Sunday! I have ample space for your pet(s) with a large backyard that includes grass and a large fence to ensure that they are safe. I’ve always made it a habit to regularly check on pets’ food / water and in a cats case, their litter box. If your cat needs a relaxing environment with endless amounts of pets I can do that. If your dog / puppy needs a long walk or even a run, I can do that. I understand that leaving your pets with a stranger can be nerve racking but rest assured that they’re in good hands 🙌
About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.
“Vanessa was wonderful; from the moment she came to our meet and greet, our doggies loved her! She definitely has the calm, light yet assertive energy, which helps doggies follow instructions. She took care of our two high-energy babies, so well. My husband and I are happy we found her!!”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Imperial Beach is $63

I’m very glad I found Priscilla and Pascual. They took such good care of my pets, including my cat Simba who needs special care and medications. Great attention to detail and diligence to make sure the pets are well taken care of. I had a lot of peace of mind with my pets in their hands. Highly recommend. Thanks Priscilla and Pascual!

Krista has been such a wonderful companion to our senior dog. She is very attentive to his energy level and is careful to adapt his activities as needed. For over a year she has provided walks, drop in visits and home stays. She is professional, reliable, and respectful of our home. We our so grateful for her services.

Greatest person to watch your dog. Very flexible with any times and treats your dog like one of his own. And he takes great care of his dogs for sure. Tyler will dedicate the entire time you book to making your pet feel like a rockstar and it doesn’t get any better than that.

I'm so happy to have found Charlene! She stayed with my dog Frank for 3 weeks and sent daily updates with photos. She followed my instructions, watched for a deliveries, and was so nice. Most importantly, she enjoyed spending time with Frank, and he enjoyed it, too. I felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands for a longer than normal trip. She even left my house as clean or cleaner than when I left! I'd love to have sit for us again and highly recommend her.

Jaime is my girls’ regular sitter for drop-ins. This was her first time staying overnight with them and she was amazing as always! Bailey and Celeste love Jaime! She has been a much needed and special person in our lives. She’s very understanding of the life of a Sailor, for which we’re very grateful. Thanks, Jaime!

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 Imperial Beach 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 Imperial Beach 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Imperial 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!

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 .
