“My dogs and kitty were just as happy and healthy as when I left. Karen was very communicative and responsive with any questions and left my house in good shape as well. Thanks again for taking good care of my little zoo!”
“Jackson stayed at our home with our two hounds for about two weeks while we travelled internationally. We were so happy to have him! He was attentive, caring, and kept our house in tip top shape while we were away. He made sure to text us daily with updates and sent the best photos of our boys. Truly appreciative of his excellent service”
“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 ..”
“Jordan did an excellent job watching our pup! We initially booked her for one day of house-sitting, but when our plans changed and we needed a second day, Jordan was ready to help us. We set up a meet and greet and Jordan was very communicative during the booking process. Throughout her sitting days, she kept us updated with texts and pictures of our pup and even did some household cleaning like doing some dishes and taking out the trash! We were impressed by Jordan's attention to detail and care for our pup, and we highly recommend her.”
“Victoria took great care of our pup! She sent me daily updates with pics so we felt very comfortable being away. She stayed in our home & left it clean so coming home was so nice. We will definitely request her again.”
“We are truly grateful to have found Mallory to watch over our two dogs while at a family reunion for almost a week. Having a sitter stay overnight was new to us as well as my husband and I are not from the area. On top of that, our older dog needs a little more attention these days. Upon meeting Mallory my dogs acted like they were seeing an old friend. She was attentive and asked all the questions for things I had not mentioned. she is extremely responsive and compassionate with a very good energy around animals. She was considerate enough to ask if an extra hand for walking the dogs would be okay on the day she had to work late and kept me reassured that they were in good hands with updates throughout the trip. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for animal care of any kind. Thank you so much Mallory and Lizeth!”
“Joel is a wonderful dog and house sitter. He really fits in great, understands and cares thoughtfully and affectionately for your dog. He is professional and yet kindly personal at the same time. He was a fantastic gift to me at this time.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve had my childhood dog for 15 years, a 6-year-old cat, and recently said goodbye to my beloved cat who lived to be 18. I also have many dogs in my extended family whom I’ve loved and cared for since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to care for their pets, whether that means going on walks, feeding, bathing, or administering medications. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. Safety is always my number one priority, but just as important to me is making sure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for as a member of the family. I know that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I want to make sure they feel secure and happy while you're away. I’ve loved animals since I was little, and spending time with them has always brought me a sense of comfort and grounding. Caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me joy, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so my weekday mornings are dedicated to school and clinical responsibilities. However, I’m generally available every day after 12–1 p.m., including afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends, and I have flexibility throughout the week to accommodate your pet’s needs. Being a graduate student, time management has definitely become a strength of mine! I’m happy to work with your schedule, whether that means afternoon walks, drop-in visits, waking up earlier in the mornings, feeding, playtime, or providing extra love and attention while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m committed to being reliable, flexible, and attentive to their individual needs When caring for pets in their own homes, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I will do my best to follow their usual schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I also want to make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their individual personality and needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I will always prioritize your pet’s safety, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you consistently updated so you can feel at ease while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or simply enjoys relaxing with some company, I will meet them where they are and make sure they feel cared for.
“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!”
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, and fish since I was 4 years old. I have been house/pet sitting for neighbors and family members for 20+ years and I’ve loved every minute of it! I’m ready to give your pet the love they deserve. I work full time and go to school during the weeknights, but I work from home on Fridays, so I am available Thursday night- early Monday mornings. Whenever I am taking care of your pet, your pet will be my 100% priority. I will follow your directions on how to care best for your pet(s) and your home. I also will remain in contact with you (as much or as little as you would like) to keep you updated on your pet.
“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.”
“LOVE BETHANY!!! She is sweet, amazing with my pups, and extremely responsible. She replied to my inquiry immediately, and scheduled a meeting with me and the dogs for the following day. My difficult pup loved her, and my loving pup was even more excited to have her come over even though I was gone. I had Bethany house-sit for a long weekend, and received numerous photos and updates on my fur babies. I was nervous to leave them at home, but was able to leave with confidence that my babes would be cared for. If I could give 6 stars I would. Thanks Bethany!”
“Mary did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. She is an excellent communicator, follows all instructions and gave our babies so much love! Will be booking her again :)”
“Madison was amazing! Our pup took an immediate liking to her. She stayed at our home for five nights and sent daily updates and images. So cute! We were very happy with her and will be using her again very soon!!!”
About: I am a very happy, energetic, compassionate, and intelligent person who happens to love all animals of all kinds. I grew up with many cats and dogs. My family LOVES animals. When I was 7, my chocolate lab Violet had puppies at the same time as my sisters yellow lab Hannah and we took care of 20 puppies and 2 adult dogs. We ended up keeping 2 puppies and giving the rest off to loving homes. I kept in touch with some of the owners for almost 13 years. I’ve also helped care for elderly pets as well. For 8 years I helped my neighbor administer insulin shots to her cat with diabetes. I’m a diagnostic medical sonographer (ultrasound tech) and only working until 1pm on the weekdays, while I’m studying for my license so I have a flexible schedule to work with you. I will follow exact directions in your home and send pictures and details of anything you need. I know if I had someone looking after my pet, I want them to keep in touch and send pictures. I can do whatever you need me to, to make you and your pet comfortable with me.
“We have been booking Staci to watch our Stormy for several months now and we are still so happy with her services! Our dog had major surgery last month and now that she’s mostly recovered we are just starting to have her watched by others. There were several things we needed Staci to be aware of post-surgery and as usual she was excellent in communicating with us throughout the day. We feel relieved knowing our pup is safe and happy with her.”
“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Long Beach
Giovanny was great with our 4-month-old Morkie! We were very happy with his timeliness, friendliness, and making sure our pup was comfortable throughout the day. We received pics and updates throughout the day which made us feel at ease. All around, it was a great experience and would definitely ask Giovanny to watch our dog again in the future!
We had terrific interactions during our meet and greet; Butta fell in love with Jordan. I couldn’t be happier! For our sit, our interactions were brief, yet effective. Jordan can multitask with listening and providing Butta attention simultaneously! My home remained clean and Butta seemed happy once I got home. TY Jordan! I will definitely book Jordan again!
I’d give them 10 stars if I could! So many updates, so many pets, and they followed all instructions. Elsa is a pretty shy dog yet she was excited to get some last minute pets from Dan when he dropped off the keys and he got her to walk past the front door for potty breaks/walks. Those are huge wins for my pup.
Shelli was amazing! She watched our very large Great Pyrenees at our house for 11 nights. We received nightly updates, including pictures and videos of our girl. She took such great care of our dog and our house and we were able to go on our vacation and not worry at all. We will definitely use Shelli in the future! She is the best!
Haley did a wonderful job staying with our little stranger-averse terrier for a week while we traveled internationally! She sent tons of photos, kept us up to date, and communicated well. She also left our home in pristine condition when she left--bedding washed and dishwasher run. 10/10!
Elizabeth was incredible. She stayed in our home for a week and a half to take care of our two dogs AND two cats. She even ran to Costco pharmacy to pick up a prescription for one of our new kittens. We 10000% will be booking with her again and are so satisfied with her service
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Long Beach is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $105 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 November 2026, there are 14,391 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Long Beach. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
