“Giovanny was awesome! He was kind, respectful and communicative. He was great with our pup. He followed our instructions and our pup loved him. We were even running late to get back home on time and Gio stayed until we returned. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first sit with Jordan and it was great! We booked last minute but Jordan was great about doing a meet and greet with us on short notice. Petunia took easily to Jordan and my wife and I felt good knowing she was in good hands. Jordanwas great about keeping us updated throughout the day and sending pictures of Petunia. We will definitely be keeping Jordan in mind for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Kate is wonderful! This was my first time using Rover for my cat Gatsby (an orange chaotic little man) and Kate made the process so incredibly smooth and easy! Received photos and updates throughout the booking and had so much peace of mind during my trip. Will 100% book with Kate in the future and highly recommend her to others! Thank you, Kate!!”
“Kelsi is great! She stayed at my home with my pup all day while I was out of town. She sent me updates and pictures of my pup which I really appreciated. She did great following his routine and accommodating to my pups behaviors. Overall Kelsi is kind and caring and I’m hoping to book her again soon!”
“Truly couldn’t recommend Erin enough. She was punctual, flexible, and extremely reliable. We hired her for a very busy weekend in our lives and she was self-sufficient, communicative when needed, and most importantly, our dog seemed happy and healthy when we returned home. We are so grateful for her service and look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Lauren is amazing! She stayed at our house with our dog and two cats for eight days. She truly loves and cares for animals, she was communicative, detailed and left our house in perfect condition.”
“MeganLyn has looked over my Walnut before, but it was their first time at our home! That said, everything was taken care of great and our tortoise got the care he needed as well. Would definitely book again”
“Malcom was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and he made us feel so comfortable and reassured during our meet and greet and we are so happy with our decision to book him!! He kept her routine with plenty of walks, provided updates the entire stay, and our dog Mya looked so happy in all the photos and videos he sent so we know she was well cared for. :)”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job! This is the first time I’ve had a pet sitter. My cat had a wound and a cone and no one except my mom has ever watched my dog. So, I was a little nervous. But, Elizabeth’s sweet spirit put me at ease. She sent me pictures of my cat’s wound so I could see the progress and pictures of my dog when she walked him. She also sent additional periodic pictures and gave me updates. Elizabeth was very thorough and truly cared about doing the best job possible. My house was immaculate when I came home. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond and I’m so grateful for her!”
“So thankful for Lizeth! She came over to help me with my girl super last minute and was just so wonderful. Lizeth was so good with my baby, extremely kind and caring. I will definitely be booking with Lizeth again and you should absolutely consider her to take care of your babies 💕”
“Quinny and Rocky had a wooferful time with Victoria. She was very attentive to our spoiled springers and communicated with us regularly. We will hire Victoria in the future!”
“Christina stepped in on short notice when my usual dog sitter wasn’t available. She did amazing, took care of my pups at my place for a few days, kept me updated throughout and followed instructions. I’ve found someone that I will definitely trust again in the future. Thank you Christina :)”
“Thank you so much for all the help! If anyone is looking for someone who loves animals don’t hesitate you are picking the right person. We have a Cane Corso and she was super happy to see him everyday and would get sad when he would leave for the day. I could see through the camera how he would be constantly playing with her, cuddling and keeping us updated ! I will continue to book and feel confident that my baby is safe. He even trained with her asking her to sit before treats. Overall super happy with the services provided and my baby was happy.”
“Bethany has quickly become my favorite sitter! It is obvious my furbabies feel safe and at home with her. She did a great job grooming the girls, and keeping our hope clean and organized. Even though I didn’t have the best reception, Bethany still continued to provide pictures and updates that warmed my heart. She’s the absolute best!”
“Rachel took such great care of our baby! We had never left Honey with anyone but family so we were a little nervous. Rachel put our mind at ease with pictures and updates throughout the weekend. They kept her happy and feeling loved while we were away and I am so grateful to have found them!”
“Esmeralda was flexible and communicative. She took great care of our critters while we were gone for the weekend, and even stopped in an extra time when our flight was delayed getting home.”

Adriana is one of the best Dogsitters I’ve ever booked from Rover. Took great care of my dog Kira and followed all instructions. Took excellent care of my place also. She has great energy that my dog loves and I got plenty of photo updates. Will absolutely be hiring again.
Alejandra was wonderful during her overnight stay in our home with our dog. She is professional, trustworthy, and compassionate, and her excellent communication gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive to our dog’s needs, and we felt completely comfortable trusting her with our dog and our home. We highly recommend Alejandra and will be happily booking her again soon.
Sarah is an excellent pet sitter. She took her time to make sure she was prepared prior to the booking, meeting my guys so she wasn't a stranger and understanding their routine. She is an excellent communicator and takes extra care of my fury friends including my senior chi.
Cassandra has been such a blessing, she’s reliable, kind and our Coco Bean immediately loved her! She has been very responsive and communicative. Her compassion and love for animals is apparent in how she conducts herself and how our pet responds to her. We look forward to working with her in the future! Thanks Cassandra!
Stephanie is the BEST! She watched my girl (and home) for 2 weeks while I was away and everything went great! Stephanie sends photos and texts daily (actually a few times a day) which really eased my mind seeing how happy my cat was. I highly recommend Stephanie!
Elizabeth is an amazing pet sitter! She house/pet sat our 2 dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. She followed our instructions and the dogs’ routine, gave us updates and our fur babies were happy. This was our first time with Elizabeth and we will for sure use her services again. I’ve already sent a referral her way 😊 Thank you so much for taking care of the house and the girls.
I rarely use house/dog sitters that are not family or friends but upon meeting Jacqueline I immediately had a good feeling about inviting her into our home and trusting her with our fur baby. And she exceeded all expectations. Very communicative. Very considerate of our home and our dogs needs and schedule. I would most definitely recommend her and hope to book her again in the future. 😊
We can highly recommend Sam. We booked months ahead and he came promptly to meet our dogs and to understand what was expected of him. The week before he was to sit, he visited with the dogs, again. One of our dogs has medical needs that require multiple meds and supplements. Sam gave her what she needed, on schedule. He took the dogs on good walks, avoiding the hottest part of the day. For a week, he stayed overnight with them. (Our home was left neat and clean by Sam.) Our dogs were clearly well-taken care of. He sent us photos and videos of their daily activities. We certainly will rebook Sam when we need a sitter we can trust to care for our dogs. Thank you, Sam!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Long Beach is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $104 per night. 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 14,362 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Long Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Long 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 Long 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 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!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
