“Martha is such a sweetheart! She genuinely cares and takes her responsibility seriously. She took care of our 2-month-old kitten, and it was our first time having a cat sitter. She was so patient, caring, and wonderful with cat. Her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated with pictures and messages. I truly appreciate how much she cared for our little kitten. I highly recommend her!”
“Isao & Rezairyl were incredible from start to finish. Their communication was on point and I never felt like I had to wait more than 5 minutes to get a response. I have a senior dog and so do they, and I felt like they completely understood the needs of my dog and were incredibly patient with him. I am excited to find a reliable sitter and will definitely be using them again!”
“Christa was awesome! She was flexible and really helped me out with a last-minute booking. I appreciated her reliability and would definitely book with her again.”
“We left our 3+ year dog with Wanda recently. This was our first time trying rover and it seems Wanda loved & pampered our dog a lot! Wanda is in a nice neighborhood in Long beach which made us feel safe leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures throughout & her conversations made us feel she is very experienced with dogs & understands them. Our dog hasn’t been around other dogs so we really appreciated that she only takes 1 client at a time. She made extra effort to make our dog feel comfortable with Gidget as well. We will definitely reach out to Wanda next time we need dog boarding!”
“Jamila was a lifesaver! Another sitter canceled in the middle of my dog’s stay and Jamila immediately responded to my last minute request. I’m so grateful for her and Brolin seemed to easily get along with her too. So glad I found her. I highly recommend!”

I provide attentive, positive care in a clean, welcoming environment where every pup can play, exercise, relax, and feel right at home.
“It was our first time getting a sitter, Mollie and her family was AMAZING, Nala had a great time. She provided care for nala like she was her own, kept me updated and communication was great. I Will definitely book Mollie again. She was awesome! Thanks again!”
“Kia was an exceptionally good communicator. He was really flexible with scheduling. I appreciate the care he gave our pups and the prep he took in reviewing their care document before their stay.”
“Our sweet girl had a great time with Kate and John! When we dropped her off, Kate made sure to ask about anything she might have needed- feeding schedules, exercise needs, etc. She sent us a daily update of how everything was going including pictures. We can’t thank you enough for taking such wonderful care of Lainey!”
About: My husband and I have two medium-sized rescue dogs who I trained myself, and they are truly my little sidekicks. They are very well-behaved and get along with all other dogs. I spend most of my free time walking them, cuddling them, and probably obsessing over them a little too much. 😂 After leaving a corporate career that left me feeling burned out and unhappy, I wanted to spend my time doing something that brought me joy. Dogs have always been a huge source of joy in my life, so being able to spend my days caring for them feels like a pretty wonderful change. I know how much our dogs mean to me, and how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for them. I love giving other pet parents that peace of mind while making sure their dogs feel safe, loved, exercised, and cared for. I began walking | sitting for our neighbors dogs and tailor walking, eating, and sleeping schedules depending on the dog|s I am watching, their age and their owners preferences. Please reach out I would love to discuss your dogs' needs! I run a small business from home, so my dogs and the dogs I care for are very much part of my everyday life. They’re not just hanging out in the background while I work. Daily walks to the beach, hikes, playtime, and plenty of cuddles are all part of the routine. I love having dogs around and making sure they get lots of attention, activity, and love throughout the day. I live in a condo in a secure, dog-friendly building with a fenced-in patio and plenty of room to play. Dogs are welcome on my rugs, furniture, and pretty much anywhere they’d be comfortable at home. If your dog is crate trained or prefers their crate, I'm happy to follow your routine and instructions. Otherwise, every dog I care for gets their own bed and sleeps in the same room as us at night, so they’re never left feeling lonely or unsure in a new environment.
“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“Yoda seemed very happy and relaxed after his stay. I’ve booked with her before and when I dropped him off he was good to go. I got updates and beautiful pictures of Yoda. I would definitely rebook!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I had the privilege of owning a wonderful cat named Smokey. I currently do not have pets of my own, but I have cared for pets in my own home, I have provided pet sitting services for friends and family, including overnight stays in their homes. I am attentive to routines and schedules, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and administering lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their animals are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they're away, and I strive to provide that peace of mind with every pet I care for. Mondays are my most consistently available day, while availability on other days may vary. Feel free to contact me to discuss scheduling. I’m happy to work with pet owners whenever possible. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I am always happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before services begin to ensure that both you and your pet feel comfortable and that we're a great fit for one another.
“I booked a 3-night stay with Emily for my 6-month-old puppy, Nairobi, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Emily was amazing with my energetic little one and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I was able to schedule the booking less than two weeks before our trip, and she was incredibly accommodating. Throughout our time away, Emily sent daily photo updates, showing how well Nairobi was being cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone kind, reliable, and truly great with dogs. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Merve is the best sitter I could ask for! It was my first time leaving my cat with someone else, I was nervous since he's an escape artist and has some dietary needs. But after speaking with her I completely trusted that she could take care of him, she has a lot of experience with cats and was so accomodating and sweet. When I dropped my boy off they clicked right away, I was so relieved. I got a lot of cute pictures and videos during his stay and I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her home, and he was loved and cared for every day of his stay by Merve and her son. Thank you so much!!”
“Khrystal and her husband took such great care of our corgi, Panko. She was very responsive and communicative throughout the booking and provided so many cute pictures and updates. I really appreciated how much she was able to take Panko out for walks since he can be quite energetic! He definitely loved his time with Khrystal and I would 100% rebook. ❤️”
“Shannon was so sweet and able to take my cat last minute for an overnight stay. My cat felt very comfortable and immediately acclimated to her home. She sent photo updates and responded quickly! I’d definitely book again.”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of my Auggie. At our initial meeting, I saw that Auggie made an instant connection with Ashley, and that he was happy and comfortable. During his stay, I received photos which made me feel even more at ease with my choice in who was taking care of my pet. I will be sure to use Ashley again the next time that my family and I leave town.”
“Linda (and her roommate Melissa) are the best! My pup Mia was so well taken care of that I’m not sure she even wanted to come home afterwards lol. Will definitely be using for future sitting needs.”

Linette did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away! She went above and beyond by bathing him, taking him on walks, and keeping me updated throughout my time away. I really appreciated her communication and the peace of mind that came with knowing he was in good hands. She was attentive, caring, and reliable. I would absolutely recommend Linette to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!
We are so grateful for Isao & Rezairyl’s kindness, patience, love and compassion for our senior Pomeranian who has cognitive decline/dementia. Pipiopi is 17.5 years old. This was his first time trying a new daycare (2 overnight stays). He had been with his prior daycare for 6 years but Lola (prior daycare) has moved away. We took a chance to see if he’s still got a little juice left for someone new to watch him while we had to attend a very important wedding. God bless these two amazing souls, Isao & Rezairyl. Thank you for caring for our little guy like your own family, understanding his sensitive condition & the transparent conversations during his stay. We are grateful, appreciative, and thankful for both of you.
AMAZING AS ALWAYS! This is my third time booking Laura and my baby Cleo is always the happiest with her. Laura keeps me updated all the time and I never worry when I leave my dog with Laura. She takes very good care of the pets in her care. She is simply the best! I will continue to book Laura every time I need a sitter, my dog simply loves her.
I had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Martha was really accommodating to my situation. She was great with my dog, Sparky, who was suffering from an ear infection during his stay. She gave him his medicine and sent pics and updates daily letting me know how he was doing. I highly recommend her and will use her again in the future. Thanks so much, Martha!
Jenny and Joshua took care of my dog for 10 days. I am very happy with the care they provided to my dog and provided daily updates with pictures. My dog received daily walks and returned home happy. I would highly recommend Jenny and Joshua if you need a trustworthy person to care for your dog. I will definitely be a return customer.
Christa was amazing!!! This was our first time boarding our 10 year old dog, Mia—it was very last minute and we were really nervous about how she would handle it. Christa opened the door and she and Mia hit it off instantly. Christa asked great questions about Mia’s behavior on leash and around other dogs, and was just such a warm and loving person and so easy to talk to (even at a 6am drop off!) I instantly felt at ease leaving Mia with Christa. Christa was totally comfortable giving Mia her daily meds and caring for her while we’re trying to heal an ear injury, and even offered to massage coconut oil on her itchy skin. Booking with Christa was a fantastic experience and she’ll be our first choice for dog sitting in the future! Thank you again!!
I’m a returning happy customer, and once again, I had a great experience! Dalila was wonderful with my dog, and I’m grateful for her care and attention. It’s always a relief knowing my dog is in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!
We had such a wonderful experience! River and Bella stayed for the weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier. It means so much to have someone you can trust with your fur babies, knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. We truly appreciated the love and attention given to both of them. It gave us such peace of mind, and we would absolutely book again! Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dogs like family!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Long Beach can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Long Beach home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Long Beach.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Long Beach. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Long Beach sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
