“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.”
“Jackson was amazing with our two dogs! They loved him. He was prepared, attentive, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him. He took great care of both of them while we were gone.”
“Haley did a great job house sitting for me whilst I was on vacation and looked after our mini Aussie Shepherd. She communicated clearly and sent pictures of our dog having fun. She left the house neat and tidy too. Thanks Haley.”
“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.”
“Trixie was so excited to hang out with Kayana from day one. Kayana was really respectful of my apartment and really went above and beyond for my girls. They sent me pics regularly and even obliged when I needed more after a particularly difficult day. :) My girls and I loved Kayana and look forward to hanging out with them again!”
“Joel is the best! He took care of our cat and dog this summer and I received pictures during my trip and our place was nice and tidy when we got back. We will definitely be using him again!”
“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!”
“We’ve used Shauna multiple times and she’s nothing short of amazing. She’s attentive, personable and loving to our fur family members. We trust her. The only downside to giving her the 5 star rating (which she deserves), is others booking her when we would like to use her! She’s fantastic.”
“Zeni was great! She took excellent care of Penny while we were out of town. She sent lots of photos and provided daily updates on how everything was going. We will certainly use her again if she is available :)”

About: I have had big dogs my entire life, so I know what to expect when I am around them. I have bathed, fed, walked, and medicated all of my dogs, so I can confidently complete these tasks. I am completely free for anytime as I just exited high school and I am preparing for college. I can come and check on your pets anytime or day. I cannot bring any pets into my home because my oldest dog is a grump and does not appreciate any new animals in his territory.
About: I’m naturally gentle and patient which makes anxious or shy dogs feel safe. I treat pets like babies & communicate a lot with owners like sending pictures or updates! pet care fits perfectly into my routine I’m home a lot so I can give regular walks , attention , and affection throughout the day I focus on making the pet feel secure by keeping their routine the same with same feeding times, walks, cuddles, and play. I give them lots of love and stay respectful of the home, keeping it clean and calm.
“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 :)”
“Shelli was so great taking care of our little guy on our first trip away since we got him. She made us feel at ease knowing he was being taken care of and having lots of fun by sending us pictures and videos. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“I can’t even begin to express how amazing Elle was! She stayed at my apartment for almost 2 weeks with my two cats, which is already a lot to ask, but she went above and beyond with communication and photos and playing with them. They were very happy boys when I got home and had obviously been cared for very well. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Mikhayla was wonderful! I had never used Rover before and she really helped alleviate any anxiety I had leaving my two cats over vacation. She sent updates everyday morning and night and really went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable. She also left my apartment totally clean, and put the sheets in the wash etc. I’ll definitely be using her again!”

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 💕
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!
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!
Haley was amazing for a last minute request after our other care plans fell through. She was so on top of things and communicative, and I didn’t feel stressed at all even through a power outage in our neighborhood. She was great with all our animals. We definitely have found our new go-to pet sitter!
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.
Wow! Helen was amazing!! We left our dog Beau and our cat Hammy with Helen for 6 days while on vacation. Beau stayed with her at her apartment and she would drop in on Ham nightly. She would send us constant updates and pictures and was quick to respond to messages. I felt that my animals were safe and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough. We will for sure contact Helen again in the future. Thank you :)
This gentleman is absolutely wonderful. Our dogs love him. He is thoughtful and kind, quiet and curteous, and I would trust him in my home any time. He did such a good job with our best friends. He will work with your schedule no matter whats up. Can't say enough good things about him.
Kate was great with our senior dog. He has not been left with a dog sitter for over a year and I was worried about him being anxious. Kate was patient with him and took great care of him. Her communication is great and I would definitely recommend her. I would love to have her watch Winston again!

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.

- 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.
