About: Having raised two pugs, I’m familiar with how difficult it is to find someone trustworthy who can help with walks or simply playing with your loved one. I’m a huge animal lover and I’m looking for a way to help out other pet parents looking for someone to help with their pet on a busy day or week. Having recently been laid off, I have plenty of time to help out other pet parents. I’m usually free in the mornings around 10AM after I’ve taken my land dogs on a walk or in the middle of the day and again during evenings after 4PM Having raised two dogs myself, I’m very patient and can adapt to the pet parents commands and the dogs needs. I have experienced with reactive dogs having dog sat my cousin’s barky dachshund.
“We just did a quick download meeting before Brendan takes care of our pup for the weekend. He was very attentive and asked lots of questions so he knows all of Fred’s quirks for the weeekend.”
About: I had a dog for over 10 years and after he sadly passed away, I realized that I still had a lot of love to give! I’m currently a stay at home mom who absolutely adores pets, so my schedule is completely up to what your pet needs and what their schedule is! I live in an upstairs apartment that has lots of space for play time but also has cozy spots for nap time! The apartment has a secured front balcony that can be blocked off at request.
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.
“Loralie takes great care of our fur babies (2 pitties & 1 cat). She goes above and beyond everytime we're out of town. She is great with our extremely shy girl and our old guy, who has multiple medications.”

About: Hi! We’re Jane and Mark, a married couple who absolutely love animals and enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We have a sweet senior terrier mix of our own named Cherry, so we understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. We’re both responsible, attentive, and patient, and we believe every dog has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. Whether your pup loves going on walks, playing, or simply relaxing and getting some extra affection, we’re happy to accommodate their individual needs. We know how much pets mean to their families, and we’ll treat yours with the same love and care we give our own. We look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! I have flexible work hours so my schedule is actually ideal for drop-ins. I’m in school part time so hours may change when the semester ends. Will update schedule accordingly! I usually let new dogs warm up to me on their terms. Whether I give treats is up to each owner. I love to know what pets need to feel safe and loved, where they like to be scratched, what they don’t like, etc. I have a pretty calm demeanor in general but can be firm when needed.
“Alycia was a great cat sitter and very easy to correspond with. She sent pictures and helped with a last minute plant watering request as well. I was very comfortable having her come to my apartment and would recommend to anyone!”
“Arash took great care of Leo during our time away. Communication was excellent throughout the booking, and we appreciated the updates after each visit. Leo did very well with Arash too, and it was clear he was well cared for. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Arash went above and beyond, and we would happily book with him again.”

Mallory was able to come for a drop in with only a few days notice. She fed, walked, and hung out with my dog while my gf and I enjoyed a much needed evening out! She sent photos and let us know how she did. We’re excited to have Mallory watch her again for our upcoming overnight trip.
Not sure where to even start because Stephanie was such a gem to find. I had a 10 day trip to Europe booked for months and my cat sitter moved and told me less than 2 weeks before my trip that she couldn’t watch Gomez anymore. I was nervous at first to use a pet-sitting app to find a sitter because he has had the same sitter for 10 years, but after our introductory visit with Stephanie my fears were alleviated. Throughout my trip she checked in with each visit daily, sent notes and pics. He is very shy and within no time I was receiving pics of him showing affection and sitting on her lap etc. There wasn’t one moment where I felt worried and for the first time I came home from a trip that he wasn’t showing any signs of stress. I can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of him, and helping make my trip relaxing.
Raymond was a super professional; he came by for a meet and greet in advance, took caution to walking Lolli in the rain so he came a little bit earlier after checking th weather, was available on Halloween night and sent picture updates. I would book him again in a heartbeat!
It was such a great pleasure working with Danielle! She is very responsive, thoughtful, and caring. Danielle went above and beyond to win over our shy, hissy cat and she even had him playing with her by the end of our booking! We look forward to working with her again and highly recommend her as a cat sitter.
Sarah was so wonderful. It was my first time leaving the kitties and she was super reassuring with great attention to detail and quick responses and communication. The kitties loved her and I felt great having her in my home. I will definitely hire Sarah in the future!
Nicolas has been taking care of Juno for almost a year now, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough! He’s incredibly reliable and has been a lifesaver on so many occasions, especially when I’ve needed help on short notice. He’s so gentle and patient with Juno, and I can tell he genuinely cares about her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in good hands whenever he checks in on her. I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust and count on!
Amanda was a pleasure to work with and she showed great experience working with my cats. My 2 year old Tuxedo cat (Jimmy) warmed up to her quickly which doesn't always happen so from there everything went great. Amanda's daily visit reviews contained photos which were greatly appreciated and I was able to send her additional help information during the multiple visits. My cats truly enjoyed Amanda's visits and I highly recommend Amanda for any single cat and/or multiple cat owner.
Noiri was so attentive and responsive with my babies which is exactly what I needed to have peace of mind leaving them for a week. She played with them and was flexible when I on my cat cam noticed one of my cats took off his cone, she adjusted her schedule to arrive earlier & sent pictures every day. She really went above and beyond! I will definitely be re-booking.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Long Beach is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 per visit. 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 20,199 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Long Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Long Beach. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
