“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”
“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.”
“This was our first experience with pet sitting and I couldn’t be happier. Marijo stayed at our house and took care of our cats like they were her own. She sent pictures/updates daily which made us feel extra comforted. When we came home, our cats didn’t seem stressed or lonely in the slightest. Plus, our home was clean and put back together like we never left. I can’t recommend her enough and have already booked Marijo again for an upcoming vacation!”
“Kate is so trustworthy & patient. She is always finding different ways to help us with our difficult dog from the type of treats, to ways of approaching her. We are truly grateful for her. She did an overnight and kept our babies safe and took care of them. We will continue to use her because she is so dependable and trusting.”
About: Growing up, we always had dogs around (German shepherds, border collie, pit bull). When I moved away, I missed having my furry best friends around. I adopted my pup Professor Wellington from a shelter in LA when he was around 6-8 months old. He was the first little dog I ever had which seemed easier living in apartments in LA & NYC and traveling. We had almost 13 years together before he recently passed away, and now I have an even bigger soft spot for older dogs that need some extra TLC. I have a regular 8-5 type job during the week, and I have the most flexibility in my day on Friday afternoon/evenings and the weekends. Having a pup that was an escape artist in the beginning, I’m very aware of checking for possible escape routes. I’m also used to watching for signs of anxiety and fear with the environment and other people/dogs. Every dog is different, but I want them to feel as comfortable, happy & safe as possible. For any house sitting requests, I do require doing a meet and greet prior to confirming the booking to make sure that we are all on the same page
“First time with Sarah and we felt totally comfortable after our meet and greet with her and our dogs. She asked questions and kept us updated on the doggies. She sent pictures of the dogs. We came home and the doggies were happy to see us and looked like they had a good weekend. No issues with Brooklyn’s medication, pill or injection. Plan to ask her back for a future sitting.”
“Cassandra provided wonderful care to my sweet boys ;) Plenty of pictures and updates were sent and all activities well documented. Will definitely book with Cassandra in the future!”
“Chris did a great job for us. We have an olderJack Russell who has some special needs. Chris really likes dogs and dogs like him. He spent a week in our home and was very respectful of our home. Not only can I highly recommend him but I'll definitely be using him again. Thank you Chris!”
“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!”
“Shea was so great watching our puppy over the long holiday weekend. Asked great questions for set up, sent pictures throughout, and Willow definitely loved having her stay at the house.”
“Nicolas stayed at our house and look care of our 70 pound, reactive, German shepherd, Danny and did such an incredible job. He sent us videos and photos throughout his stay and always kept us updated on how Danny was doing. We’ve used serveral rover’s in the past and Nicolas is by far the most attentive and professional Rover we’ve ever had. I can’t recommend Nicolas enough, he was a 10/10 hire.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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: Hi! I'm Ella, and I have professional experience working with dogs in a daycare and boarding facility. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and am comfortable providing everything from walks and playtime to feeding, medication, and individualized care. Working in a professional dog-care environment taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog's individual needs, recognize changes in behavior, and prioritize safety while still making sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m responsible, communicative, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m happy to provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is safe and having a great time while you’re away. I’m currently attending school in the Long Beach area and am looking to build relationships with local pet parents who need a dependable, experienced sitter or walker. I’m currently a student, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding depending on my class schedule. I’m also available for weekend and holiday bookings when my schedule allows. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have professional experience working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I follow each pet’s individual feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions closely and pay attention to changes in behavior or health. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while keeping their pet’s environment clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and happy.

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!
Anna is great! Our dog Darrel loved her. She responded right away to my request to book and came over the same day to meet our dog and to let me show her where everything is in the house. We needed her to come at 5am the next day and she was there bright and early on time. She sent us pictures throughout the day to let us know how Darrel was doing. We will definitely use Anna again.
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!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Tanesha and Gabi! They stayed in our home and took wonderful care of our three cats while we were away, including our new kitten, which made leaving especially hard since it was our first time being away from her. Tanesha and Gabi made everything so much easier by keeping us updated and sending us photos of the kitties while we were gone. It was such a relief to see that everyone was happy and doing well. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and when we came home, the house was clean, everything was in order, and our kitties were happy and clearly well cared for. They were responsible, respectful of our home, and absolutely wonderful with our cats. We felt completely comfortable having them stay in our home, and we would 100% have them watch our kitties again. Highly recommend Tanesha and Gabi! 💕🐾
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 💕
Our second time booking with Giovanny! He is definitely among the more reliable sitters we’ve used on Rover. I appreciated the abundance of pictures and regular communications on the dogs and their welfare. Knowing they were taken care of, allowed us peace of mind while we were away. We would gladly book again!
Chris did a great job for us. We have an olderJack Russell who has some special needs. Chris really likes dogs and dogs like him. He spent a week in our home and was very respectful of our home. Not only can I highly recommend him but I'll definitely be using him again. Thank you Chris!
Mikhayla is great! We have two kittens and two senior dogs, all with different levels of energy and needs. Everyone was happy and well taken care of after 3 nights in Mikhayla’s care. The house was very tidy upon our return, too. I definitely recommend her services.
Carson was amazing!!! She watched BMO for over a week and really took great care of him. She sent us updates at great times and was very accommodating. She really made us feel he was in great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter and will be using her again for future travels.

FAQs for House Sitting - Long Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Long Beach on Rover is $59.94 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,425 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
- 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.
