About: I've cared for dogs for 20 years, from puppies to seniors, including dogs who need oral, eye and ear medications, topical creams, inhalers, and health monitoring. I also have foster experience with small dogs. I host one small dog (up to 15 lb) at a time, so your pup gets my full attention. I work remotely, so your dog is home with me most of the day, with regular potty breaks and walks along the downtown waterfront. My 9 lb Pomeranian is a friendly daycare regular who loves other dogs and makes a great playmate. All guests must be current on vaccines and flea/tick prevention. Meet-and-greets are welcome, and I'll send photo updates throughout each stay. I work from home, so your dog is with me most of the day, with potty breaks about every 3 hours. My workday ends at 3 PM, so afternoons are for a long walk, play, and extra attention. Boarding guests also get a last potty break before bed and first thing in the morning. Your dog is welcome on the furniture and can sleep in my bed, with pet stairs so small pups can climb up safely. If you prefer, I can crate your dog instead. It's your call. I have an oversized, fully enclosed covered balcony with a washable turf potty station and dog beds. The door stays open, so pups can wander in and out for fresh air and a convenient backup potty spot. Inside, there are dog beds, puppy pads, and toys (oh my!), and your pup will spend the day hanging out with my Pomeranian, Poof, while I work nearby. I'm a bit of a helicopter dog mom, so my home stays dog-proofed, with cords, food, and anything unsafe kept out of reach. Dogs are always leashed outside, and I have an emergency vet nearby if anything comes up.

“Maria and her dog Boss are amazing. Boss and Polly are besties and Polly is sad when she leaves Maria's house. We keep going back to Maria and Boss over and over again because they are great! THANKS!”
“Isao and Rezairyl treated my dog with great care and love. My dog has separation anxiety and the made sure to give him the attention he needed and plenty of walks and playtime. Would highly recommend and will book again!”
“Thank you SO much. Staci was SOO communicative- before, during, and after our dog’s stay. Extremely extremely kind and welcoming and took amazing care of our girl. Thank you!!!!”
“Inta and her husband were amazing sitters. It was only 2 days but the second day Appa (puppy) was ready to jump out of the car as soon as we parked and was very happy to see them. He loved it so much he almost didn't want to leave. Will definitely book them again in the future.”
“Tina really came through when I was in a pinch! She watched my sweet pup and was great about keeping in contact with me. I’ll be bringing my pup back to Tina to watch tomorrow and any time I need a puppy sitter!!”
“Elise is an amazing sitter! she’s very communicative, flexible, & understanding. She makes homemade dog treats & takes plenty of fun photos & videos. She even customizes the videos to make them extra fun - adding filters & music. Elise took our pup out to interesting places for walks and fetch. Our boy came back very tired and happy! Couldn’t have had a better 1st experience using Rover. So happy to know this amazing person! Highly recommend!”
“Laura was awesome. I had not planned well and I needed a pet sitter at the (very) last minute. And she was a total heroine and helped me out. Thank you Larua!”
“Stephen was fantastic with our dog! He remembered all the instructions I gave him and sent a ton of photos and videos of our pup throughout the day. Our dog came back happy, exercised, fed, and clean! Definitely recommend!!”
“Andreina was so sweet and patient with Cabo. It takes him a little to warm up to someone new and she was accommodating and kind with him. I will be re booking with her.”
About: I've got so much love and attention to give your little furr baby! I'm a runner with an active life style and currently run 2 miles daily. I love walking/running the ocean path around junipero beach and can be available in the am or pm. I'm a strong communicator and will provide plenty of updates and voice any concerns that might arise durring my time with your pet as quickly and transparently as possible. I know from personal experience how much our pets can become a part of our families, which is why you can trust me to treat your baby with the same kindness, patience and love that I give my own little angels! There's no pet too big or small, too rowdy or shy, for this girl to handle(: Not working currently but I do travel frequently so between trips my schedule is extremely flexible. As of right now my next trip is planned for 11/21-11/27 but beyond that my calender is wide open (: I cannot currently offer pet sitting services out of my own home but in providing care in a client's home I can offer everything from spending time with them throughout the day to picking them up/dropping them off for walks/adventures and can offer services for bother crate trained and uncrated pets.
“Paige is such a great sitter for my Goldendoodle pup! We met first for a meet and greet with her sweet pup and they were both very friendly. She seemed like she was going to be a good fit for us so I booked her for the week. I am a nurse and I work 12.5 hour shifts but with commuting it's even longer. So I look for sitters who work from home, preferably with a dog mine can play with and are trustworthy, reliable, and who have great communication, provide great care, and have time for play and walks. Paige fits the bill perfectly! She sends many updates and pictures throughout the day and at the end of my long work day I pick up a happy, healthy, tired from play pup :) She also boarded him overnight when I was out of town and even dropped him off at my apartment for me! I totally recommend Paige...I just hope I book her first :)”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time pet sitter and dog walker who truly loves caring for animals of all ages, personalities, and needs. I have a particular soft spot for senior pets and am comfortable maintaining detailed medication routines, including pill administration and insulin injections. I also have experience working with reactive, anxious, strong-willed, and untrained or in-training dogs. I understand that every dog requires a different approach, and I’m comfortable following established training routines and handling guidelines to help keep both your pet and the people around them safe and comfortable. I have experience using a variety of training and management tools, including e-collars, prong collars, and slip leads, and I’m comfortable with muzzle-trained or muzzle-required dogs. I’m happy to work within the methods and equipment you already use with your dog and will always prioritize consistency, safety, and your pet’s individual needs. House Sitting: Because pet care is my full-time job, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and accommodate a wide variety of schedules and individual pet needs. For house-sitting clients, I do ask that pets are comfortable being left alone for 4–6 consecutive hours at a time, with a maximum of approximately 8–12 hours away from the home throughout the day. This allows me time to care for my other clients, particularly during typical midday business hours, while still providing your pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s routine, behavior, and specific needs ahead of time to make sure we find an arrangement that works well for everyone. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive, and personalized care so you can feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in capable hands while you’re away. Please let me know about your pet's needs. I am flexible and can maintain their daily schedule, I like to keep things as consistent as possible and mimic the same behaviors your pets are used to so that they remain comfortable. Routine creates comfort and familiarity, so I am happy to do whatever your pets are used to! I always make sure to care for your pet as if they were my own. You can expect great communication via text by receiving timely updates and lots of photos! If you have any questions, needs, or concerns, please communicate how I can help you and your pets feel comfortable.
About: From a young age I knew I had a passion for animals and nature. I’ve had the honor of nursing my cat, Oliver, back to health after he underwent several surgeries before I adopted him. Although he recently passed, he is one of the driving reasons for my passion to work with animals. Currently, I’m in school to become a veterinarian at San Francisco State University. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals such as bunnies, cats, dogs, puppies, and even aquatic animals! I also have experience with special need animals as well as teaching dogs simple commands such as “sit”. When it comes to your pet, there is nothing I won’t do to ensure their safety. If given the opportunity to sit your pet, I can guarantee fun in a closely monitored environment! I am currently a student at San Francisco State University. I live on campus but when I’m not there I visit home. I plan to take clients from both SF and LA. Most of my classes are online so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I currently work at Pawsome Dog daycare and boarding so I’ve become even more comfortable being around dogs and getting dirty with them! I will care for your animal by remaining attentive through their stay. We will play, cuddle, nap, and just overall bond. While dog sitting, nothing is more important than your pups comfort!
About: I have over six years of pet sitting experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve cared for puppies with high energy, senior dogs needing extra patience, and everything in between. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and routine, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My experience also includes administering oral medications, maintaining consistent feeding schedules, and giving plenty of exercise and playtime. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine as a student at UCR. I have classes in the mornings for only three hours and a part-time job a few afternoons a week. This leaves me with plenty of flexible availability to provide quality time, attention, and care for your pets. I make sure to plan my schedule around pet visits, walks, and check-ins so your furry family member is always prioritized. I live in a cozy apartment in Chino Hills, a very safe and pet-friendly area. My complex has its own dog park, plus plenty of green spaces and walking areas nearby, perfect for exercise and playtime. Pets in my care enjoy a comfortable, clean, and loving environment where they feel right at home. I’m always attentive to their needs and routines, ensuring safety, trust, and lots of affection.

While i love running and playing with young pups, I am never opposed to cuddling up with the more seasoned pups. I have clients who only need me to check in on their fur babies while they’re away which also is not a problem. Im currently working from home so i have 24 hours to give to your fur baby. I am flexible with extended stays as long as communicated. In my home i have a fenced side yard. There are also several dog parks nearby that i visit frequently when sitting. I have a large dog bed as i often sit larger dogs but your fur baby will regardless of size or gender will feel right at home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Long Beach
I had an amazing experience with Arri! She kept my dog overnight and groomed him the following day, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. I could tell my dog genuinely enjoyed himself and was well taken care of. And the grooming? She did an AMAZING job! When I say my dog was clean, I mean BEYOND CLEAN! What I appreciated most was that Arri kept me updated with pictures without me even having to ask. That alone speaks volumes about the care and attention she provides. Great communication, excellent service, and genuine care for my dog. I highly recommend Arri and will definitely be using her services again!
My Skippy absolutely adores Elena! I can tell how loved and well cared for he is by how calm he is when I pick him up and for the rest of the night. She’s also been so accommodating with my schedule and last minute requests. I can’t recommend Elena enough, we’re so lucky to have found her!❤️
This was our first time using Laura. She was so sweet with our pup, Lucy, and was very communicative. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and was flexible when I was able to pick up Lucy earlier than expected. We felt very safe having Lucy with Laura and look forward to taking her there again soon.
Wow! Thank you so much, Lyric, for taking such great care of our pup! She made sure to keep him active, sent us photos and updates, and was always very responsive whenever we had any question. He clearly felt right at home—especially cuddled up on the couch! Hahaha We highly recommend her!
This is the second time we used elizabeth, and when you bring your dog over, who's very attached to you and he happily goes in the apartment with them.Tll that he's gonna have a lot of fun.And feels safe there. And equally not stressed when I pick 'em up. It's nice to have people you can rely on.And make your dog feel safe, and she and her husband are just lovely people. I would highly recommend them and your dog will be very safe and very loved.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Long Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Long Beach is $38 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $59 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 8,202 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Long Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Long Beach commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 8,202 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters 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.
