“We had Jordan stay at our house for two nights to watch our pups who can be difficult when they are outside of their comfort zone. Taking our pups to someone else's house or a kennel simply was not an option. Jordan came by for a meet and greet in advance of our trip and we were confident that everything would go well right away. Our pups, however, were the variable as we didn't know how they would react to being alone with a new person for a long period of time. Jordan kept us updated throughout the entire trip including photos which helped us to worry less and enjoy our trip more. When we got home everything was as clean or cleaner than we left it. And we found out that our normally socially anxious pups slept with Jordan both nights which is a huge testament to her care. We highly recommend Jordan and will be requesting her help again in the near future!!! Thank you Jordan for a great job!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Cassandra is wonderful! She is very responsive and on top of communicating regularly and providing updates. She clearly made both of our dogs feel comfortable and works really well even with our more anxious pup. She followed all care and related instructions perfectly!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I have had years of experience with multiple animals, I've owned many over the years and care for them greatly. I have patience and dedication when it comes to caring for animals, I had wanted to go into vet med for years. I am currently between jobs while I try starting classes. I have good transportation and reliable time off so I am available and earnest to work! I am very attentive and I notice small details. I will ensure the care is completed to the levels expected of me if not exceeding. I have a lot of respect for animals and their needs and communicate effectively in situations.
“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”
About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs and cats. This includes understanding the specific needs of each life stage, such as extra playtime and training for puppies or administering medications and gentle care for older pets. Over the years, I have developed a keen understanding of animal behavior. This allows me to recognize and respond appropriately to various signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I am committed to being punctual, reliable, and providing regular updates while you’re away, so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands. I currently have a part position as a teller at a bank so other than that position I would be willing to coordinate my schedule around the specific needs of the client. I am looking for clients closer to where I reside so I can be as attentive to your pets' needs as possible. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, engaging environment with personalized care. At clients' homes, I maintain routines, ensuring comfort and familiarity, while providing tailored attention and regular updates.
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. Family and friends always trust me with their pets. I will look after them as if they were my own! I currently work full time Monday-Friday. My weekends are completely free to hang out and take your fur babies out for a fun, safe time! I have three indoor cats that do not go outside. So I am aware of keeping doors closed so our fur babies do not go out. I will make sure to take care of your pets just like I would take care of mine.
About: I’ve spent over a decade in hospitality and operations, running shifts at places like Starbucks and a local beer lab, which basically means I’m used to juggling a hundred things at once while staying calm, warm, and on schedule. Turns out that’s great training for dog care too: reading personalities fast, sticking to routines, and making sure everyone (two legs or four) feels comfortable in a new environment. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know the drill: the 6am zoomies, the separation anxiety whining, the food that “definitely doesn’t cause gas.” Whether your pup is a couch potato, a chaos gremlin, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like they’re already part of the household. Ten-plus years in hospitality means I’m used to following exact protocols and communicating clearly, and I apply that same discipline to pet care. Safety and consistency come first, in my home or yours. I keep a calm, predictable environment because cats do best with routine, so I stick to feeding times, litter maintenance, and any specific instructions you give me exactly as written, no improvising.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Long Beach is $63

We booked Brendan for our first long-term rover sitting and had a great experience! Our slightly neurotic and anxious dog was at ease with him in our home and it was so nice to know she was in good hands while we were away! We got lots of pictures daily and had great communication while we were away thanks to his quick response time. Our dog usually doesn't eat for a day after we leave, but I know she felt happy and safe with him because she never skipped a meal while she was with Brendan! Overall, our house sitting was a great experience and we'll definitely be recommending Brendan to our fellow pet parents 🙂↕️
Giovanny has been the most communicative sitter we’ve had so far on Rover! He was great with sending updates and sharing pictures of our dogs pretty much everyday day. He was also super reliable with our dog’s medication which is critical for his comfort. Our WiFi went down the day we left and all our security cameras went offline- Giovanny was kind enough to help us troubleshoot at the modem so we could get them back online.! I felt there was some opportunity with tidiness but nothing outside of what is acceptable. I do think he was very respectful and responsible with our home - we have already rebooked him for our next trip!
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!
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.
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%

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.
