“Fantastic! Updates are thorough and pictures are always great. She takes amazing care of our two cats and they love when she comes over! This was the second time we've used Clémentine and we will absolutely continue to use her in the future whenever we are out of town.”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. While I have no formal training, I've owned pets consistently for the last 35 years. I've done a lot of work with rescues and shelters, particularly with special needs animals. I'm equipped to give medication of all types, even IVs and injections. I'm currently fostering two silly bulldogs and am volunteering my time with multiple local rescues. I have a knack for animals... You might even call it a superpower! I'll likely become best friends with your pet as soon as I meet them; I'll take the extra time to establish trust with you and your furry friend, so you both know you are in good hands with me. Whether it be just a quick walk or a homestay, your pet will be the center of my attention and will always be in good hands! Every booking comes with lots of pictures and a short video recap of our time together. While I'm typically not available early in the morning, my schedule is otherwise pretty flexible. I'm available for drop ins and over nights. Unfortunately due to an FIV+ cat I am unable to host your pet here. I will schedule a meet and greet prior to our first booking to meet you and your pet at your home. I like to schedule this for up to one our in order to make sure we take the time we need to establish trust. Many of my pets over the years have been special needs, including English Bulldogs and FIV+ cats.
“Ali is amazing with my fearful dog. She is patient, great at reading my dog's body language and is very knowledgeable about training. I would definitely recommend her,”
“This was our first visit with Shelli M. and found her to be reliable, thorough and very friendly. She cared for our two senior cats with pets and rubbies. She texted us everyday with photos and videos of our fur babies. Everything was lovely when we got back from our trip.”
“Alycia was a great cat sitter and very easy to correspond with. She sent pictures and helped with a last minute plant watering request as well. I was very comfortable having her come to my apartment and would recommend to anyone!”

“Molly was great! She stopped by to check in on our cats while we were out of town and took care of everything that we asked. Loved getting pictures of our babies while we were gone. :)”
“Heather took great care of my cat. Lira is an elderly cat with health issues. Heather came by everyday fed her, scooped litter box and gave her medicine and some love and cuddles.She also gave me detailed feedback and pictures after her visits. I am planning a trip for my birthday next month and I hope she is available to take care of Lira again. Highly recommend.”
“Jackson is super warm, polite, professional and responsible! He takes great care of Tsuki, feeding her, cleaning her litter box and playing with her. You can tell this dude is a real pet lover from the first moment you see him. Also don’t forget his photography talent!”
“Kate was careful and patient and very communicative throughout the entire process, it was especially nice to know she spent some time socializing with the kitties so they weren't too lonely. Would schedule with her again! Great job.”

My husband and I trust her completely and feel our babies our being loved whilst away. We’ll absolutely use her services again!!!!”
“Lauren took care of Dakota by dropping in 3 times a day for an hour each time. I cannot recommend her enough. Dakota easily bonded with her and seemed to just know she was a good human! Lauren arrived promptly and sent me pictures throughout the day. Texting me with updates as requested. She’s awesome! I will definitely be booking her again in the future! :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Long Beach
Gabby was such a godsend! It was our first time using a pet sitting service and we could not have been happier with her. She answered all our first time questions and really made our trip stress free. Our cats did really well under her care and we’ll definitely use her services again.
another amazing job by Shelli!!! It’s so comforting to be able go out of town with confidence knowing our trio of kitties is well cared for and looked after. Shelli follows our care instructions, and was super flexible when I followed up once out of town with things I initially forgot to share with her regarding the care of our cats. Shelli is the best!!
Ali did such a great job taking care of my fur babies. My oldest took a liking to her immediately. They’re both a bit grumpy toward strangers so I was surprised at them warming up to her so soon! She’s very kind and well informed and I do plan on rebooking her in the future!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Long Beach on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Long Beach. On Rover:

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
