“Cloe saved my trip when my original sitter plans backed out days before. She’s super quick to respond and I felt really confident in her care for Odin in my home while I was away. My mind was at ease.”
“Ali was great to meet and so sweet with my dogs right away. She got down to their level and stayed kind and patient, even when one of them kept barking at her now and then. They both warmed up to her so quickly, which says a lot! She asked thoughtful questions that made me feel like she really understood their needs and genuinely cared about them. On the day of the sit, she was very communicative about her arrival and departure times, which I really appreciated. She also sent lots of photos and videos throughout the day which I appreciated as someone who tends to always worry!”
“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.”
“It was the first time we left our puppy and we were so nervous. Brendan was incredibly communicative and sent us so many pictures & videos over the 3 days that made us feel at ease. It also looked like our puppy was having the time of her life with him! Can't recommend him enough!”
“Great sitter! Jackson was so communicative, and he was a pleasure to have taking care of my fur babies. Professional and attentive, I'm grateful for the help. My animals loved him, thank you so much, highly recommend!”
“Jordan took great care of our 13-year old dog Max and our house while she stayed here over the weekend. We greatly appreciated the updates and photos that she provided throughout her stay. Jordan was sweet and caring with our pup and I am sure that he got lots of cuddles and love.”
“Andrea is the absolute best! I knew it was a great sign when my vocal dog didn’t bark at her once and my shy dog hopped right up on the couch for a pet. Andrea’s relaxed and confident energy was a perfect fit for my pups (and for me, honestly). On top of that, it was so nice to arrive back to a tidied up home after an hectic trip. Andrea exceeded our expectations and we’ll absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“We requested Kate's service to watch our 2 dogs while we would be out of town overnight for a wedding. Our older dog, a border collie/bluetick coonhound mix, is very apprehensive of strangers and generally displays high anxiety behaviors. Kate came to our house the week before our trip to meet the girls, and to our surprise both dogs warmed up to her very quickly! The stress of traveling was eased by knowing they would be comfortable at home with a new friend... unfortunately our 9 month old daughter was not as comfortable so we drove home and surprised Kate at 6 in the morning- not even a single glass was out of place!”
“Erin was wonderful and I’d love to have her back. My cat has had a lot of health issues going on recently and I was very nervous going out of town but felt so much better knowing that he’d be in safe hands! She was a great communicator, very reliable, and my cat was kept healthy and happy. Thanks so much Erin!”
“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”
“Once again Cassandra was excellent. She is on top of her game. My dogs love her and she treated them with kindness and great care. She is receptive to my worries about leaving my dogs by frequently sending pictures and providing updates. We just love her.”
“Lucia was wonderful and deserves 10 stars if I could give them!! From the start she responded quickly to my request, we set up a meet and greet to see if we were the right fit and I knew right away she would be great. We met a second time before leaving so the dogs would be familiar with her and it went off without a hitch! In addition to walking the dogs, sending me photos and videos and updates, I came home to a wonderfully clean home. I can tell she even ran the vacuum over the floors before our return (this did not go unnoticed - with two hairy dogs and black bamboo floors throughout the house every hair shows). I cannot recommend Lucia highly enough!!! It was such a relief to know my furbabies and my home were in good hands!! We will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Bridget was perfect and made us feel so comfortable, knowing our Great Dane was in such caring and attentive hands while we were away. She followed our instructions to a T, was punctual, and very responsive. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“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!”
About: I have 7+ years of professional pet care experience and currently work as the assistant manager of a high-volume pet care facility specializing in boarding, daycare, training, enrichment, and socialization under the supervision of an animal behaviorist. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs — from playful puppies to senior pets requiring medications or specialized care. I’m experienced handling shy, fearful, reactive, strong-willed, and aggressive dogs, and I always prioritize safety, patience, structure, and positive experiences while making sure every pet feels comfortable, understood, and cared for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in experienced and reliable hands. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs to provide the best care possible. Whether that means playtime, extra patience, slower-paced senior care, or lots of affection and attention, I care for every pet like they’re my own — with plenty of love, belly rubs, and a few treats along the way! I do work full time but I'm available Monday-Friday after 3pm. I'm also available for overnight boarding on weekends. I'm flexible with my schedule as well. I currently do not have any pets in my home, which allows me to provide a calm, personalized environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs and comfort level. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, enrichment activities, relaxing companionship, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to adjust their care based on what makes them feel safest and happiest. Safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable are always my top priorities, and I’d love to learn more about your pet’s routine, personality, and favorite things to help them feel right at home!
About: I always had pets of all kinds growing up and grew to love all animals. I have cared for cats, dogs, and all other pets for family, friends, and clients for over a decade by doing walks, drop in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time during my weekly routine to schedule any dog walks, drop ins, and pet sitting days. I provide the best care possible for all pets in my care. I make sure that I am observing the animals behavior to check if they are comfortable and follow all owners instructions to perfection.
About: All my life I have loved and cared for animals of all kinds and ages including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hedgehogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, and even horses. I trained and fostered dogs before a brief stint abroad where I just completed my Master's degree. As much as I love walks and playtime, I am not afraid of the messy and equally important side of pet care. I have taken care of animals with special needs and medication requirements. I always maintain general pet hygiene including baths, brushing, ear and teeth cleaning, and proper tic removal. Whatever your pet may need or quirks they may have, I will be happy to make sure they are taken care of. I just moved back to CA and am working as a part-time nanny and freelance film crew which means I make my own schedule and have the flexibility to not only care for your fur family but also focus all my time and energy on them when I do so. As a house sitter, I am here to provide pet care and overall home care. Your pets will be my highest priority, of course, but I'm here to maintain your home and help provide peace of mind while you are away.
“David took wonderful care of our home, and all the critters who reside there. He is our go to guy for whenever we go out of town, or just need drop in or a quick walk of the pup during long days at the office.”
About: I think what sets me apart from other sitters is my determination, admiration, and respect for all. I take all comments and concerns as a growing opportunity for my own experience and also to better the experience of your pets. I work graveyard 5 days a week, and I find myself wanting to detach and find comfort in another opportunity as well as keeping my original job. I am good with communication and will always find a way to work around my schedule, compromise, while also taking consideration of the owners schedule. I will first make sure your pet is comfortable with me in their presence and asking the owners about their personality and what the pets routine is throughout the day/night. I am a list person and will always make sure to check all the boxes as needed. While also developing a kind friendship with your pet.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I have experience with walking, boarding, sitting, training, grooming and more. Though the majority of my professional experience revolves around dog walking, watching, and training, I also am very familiar and fond of cats. Currently I have one senior Shih Tzu named Marcus, he’s been with me since he was 6 weeks old and is now turning 13 in August. The love and devotion I have for my pup is the same I have for every animal I encounter, I am very passionate about providing the same level of care Marcus receives to each pet I am trusted with. Currently I work hybrid remote and on site as an interior designer. My flexible schedule allows plenty of time to service my fellow pet parents! Pets are allowed to roam freely in my home but I am happy to accommodate crate trained animals as well. My small dog loves company, he is very playful and friendly. As for sittings at my clients homes I follow all instructions thoroughly ensuring that your pet stays at ease, on schedule and full of happiness until your return.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Long Beach
Delanea took great care of my senior dog, Bella, who has several age-related health issues and requires extra attention. She was punctual, communicative, and kept the house clean throughout her stay. Most importantly, Bella seemed happy, comfortable, and very relaxed when I returned home, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Caring for a senior dog can be challenging, and I appreciate the time and attention Delanea gave her. Thank you for helping care for my sweet girl.
Joel was( great! He was responsive, communicative, and thoughtful with us humans. Most important, he was great with our silly pup. He also took good care of our home. We were able to have a great getaway because we knew our pet and our home were in good hands.
Jordan was awesome. She house sat our 2 senior dogs for a week. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the week and was really quick with getting back to any of my messages. I came home to two happy and relaxed dogs. I’m sure my dogs will miss her now that we are back!
Jonathan was incredible. We booked him the week of using Rover and he stayed in our home and watched our two golden doodles that are four years old. He walked the girls multiple times a day and made sure that they were fed. It was very comforting to have someone staying in our home being with our dogs knowing that they had someone was very comforting. We are already looking to book Jonathan for our trip in October and would be happy to recommend him for any owner owners. He kept the home clean and tidy and sent us lots of cute photos!!
Sergio was great and quick to respond! Really good energy and my dog liked him immediately. He was able to accommodate a meet and greet beforehand to make sure our dogs were cool. Benny is the sweetest and my dog was ready to go home with them right then and there. Would recommend 100%
My dog took a liking to Ali right away! I did also and feel she genuinely cares and is knowledgeable about animals. She sent cute updates and was clear in her schedule and communication. She was respectful of my space and I felt at ease knowing my pet was in good hands.
Seth is absolutely amazing! I always trust my pup, Bradley is going to be well cared for when I book with Seth. On top of that he is so communicative and leaves your place very tidy and clean! I highly recommend him for any of your pet sitting/walking/drop in needs if you are in Long Beach/Belmont Shore. Thank you Seth!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Long Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Long Beach on Rover is $60.56 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 14,529 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.
Tip: 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 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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Long Beach. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
