About: Pet parent for 15+ years, pet auntie for 25+! I’m all about long walks, playtime, snuggles, meds when needed, and treating your pet like they’re one of my own. My schedule is pretty flexible, so pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and medication visits throughout the week. I’m active and love being outside, so longer walks are always welcome too. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I pay close attention to routines, body language, medications, feeding instructions, and the little things that help pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your home, careful with doors and gates, and happy to send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing.

My expertise includes: • Medication administration (oral, nasal, eye drops, injections) • Nail trimming and basic grooming • Experience with dogs, cats, and horses • Geriatric pet care • Ability to follow specific dietary needs and medication schedules • Calm demeanor, great with anxious or shy animals I provide attentive in-home pet sitting, ensuring your furry family members stay comfortable in their familiar environment. My services extend beyond basic pet care to include light housekeeping and plant care upon request. With a background in client education, I can address any questions or concerns about your pet's health and behavior. My extensive experience allows me to recognize potential health issues and communicate effectively with your regular veterinarian if needed. Your pets will receive the same level of attention and expertise they would in a veterinary setting, all from the comfort of home. I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old and have a special affinity for shy pets, able to connect with them in a calm, reassuring manner. I would be happy to stay at your house and ensure your pets' needs are well taken care of. Given my current schedule, I would have ample time to provide in-home pet-sitting with regular check-ins. I may not provide boarding, but I'm happy to come to your home and care for your pet. Taking your furry friend on walks and keeping them entertained is something I truly enjoy.

“Anna is simply wonderful! She took excellent care of our kitty while we were away. Our cat can be a bit sassy and isn’t always friendly with new people—it usually takes her a long time to warm up to someone. Anna somehow knew exactly how to approach her gently and patiently. She even brought a toy of her own and spent time trying to play with our cat (something we never asked or expected). It was so heartwarming to see our kitty gradually get more comfortable with her. Anna sent us thoughtful daily updates with texts, photos, and videos so we always knew how things were going. She also paid close attention to even small changes in our cat’s behavior, which meant a lot to us. Anna didn’t just follow the care instructions—she truly cared for our kitty. We highly recommend her and will definitely ask her to look after our cat again the next time we need a pet sitter. Thank you, Anna!”

About: Hello! My name is Chloe and I want to help you care for your dog (or cat)! I'm available to do drop-in visits with your pet and to take your dog on walks! My home is also open for doggy day-care! I've had pets my entire life (dogs and cats) and I’ve been a sitter/walker before. I love taking care of pets whether they're my own or yours! I love all animals, big or small. I've been around plenty of puppies and kittens so I know how to be gentle, effectively look after them, and give them the best care. I'm confident that your pets will love me! My schedule and availability are always changing as I am a therapist, so this section gets updated frequently. I have a dog of my own and she gets plenty of exercise and playtime despite my busy schedule. I will always follow your care plan for your pet. I am only comfortable with what you are comfortable with. Safety is of utmost importance to me when caring for your pet. In my home, my dog is crate trained and is never home alone outside of the crate or a safely enclosed room. My dog is a pittie mix so she requires an extensive skincare routine and has experienced minor health issues like an ear infection. I am comfortable administering ointments, creams, and medications if need be to your pet.

“This was our first time trying out Rover for our three kitties and we had the best experience with Leigh-Ann! She went above and beyond, providing updates before arriving and constant updates during her visit. I was really nervous using Rover since my babies are very skittish and have a challenging time coming around to people and very much appreciated the updates. Leigh-Ann was very sweet and patient with them and they came around within the first two visits! She even took the time to play with them and feed them snacks. I usually am nervous about leaving them and this was the first time I felt comfortable being away from them. I can’t recommend Leigh-Ann enough and look forward to booking her for future visits!”

About: I am a practicing and licensed DVM/veterinarian in California since 2024, alumni of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and UC Davis. I work at a clinic in the LA region currently. Previously, I was an animal technician at many different vet clinics in the SF Bay Area, California for nearly 15 years. I have worked for over 6 years at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine previously as well. Before I got into veterinary school, my ultimate life goal was always to become a vet for as long as I can remember! As you might guess, I love animals of all kinds, especially our friendly, furry, pets. It is the love I have for dogs and cats that led me to pursue a career as a vet, and also why I spend free hours volunteering at local animal shelters to help spend time with the animals that don't have a family yet. In the meantime, I am opening my services as a loving, gentle, kind, new vet to watch, play with, and walk your pets. I have a lot of technical knowledge with animals and am a great resource for your pets that need extra care or simply skilled handling. Medications, special health needs, and other concerns are no issue for me. My partner, Alice, also works from home so your pets will never be alone when they stay with us, and my dog, Skrillah, is as friendly as he is adorable (in fact, he is licensed to be a therapy/support animal). If you want your fur-baby to be in loving, comfortable, and knowledgeable temporary care, we are the pet-loving family for you! Currently, we are located in the heart of downtown Long Beach, and we live in a very lovely and new apartment complex with secure fenced areas right on the Promenade, so your dogs have plenty of walking areas to enjoy safely! We even have a vet (not affiliated) located below us, and also a mobile groomer that comes to the apartment! PS. Alice is also a 5-star Rover sitter, if you want to vet our combined profiles and the satisfaction we have had from everyone we have worked with! https://www.rover.com/sit/aliceh43195 LGBTQ+ family Welcome & Celebrated! We identify as a very progressive couple. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🐾 Someone is always home, whether it is me or my gf! Your pet will never feel alone if boarding with us, and we follow any routine you require us to provide! We will work with you and your pet depending on what they need, whether it is specific health or behavior care! We always use a leash outside and will require you provide one!

“From the meet and greet through both visits, I felt like my kitties were in thoughtful, caring hands. I didn't worry once while I was gone. Colleen sent lovely photos from each visit, including one of my shyest cat making biscuits on day one! She was flexible with scheduling, and even took the trash out on trash day, which wasn't something I'd mentioned in my (very lengthy) cat-sitting notes. It was clear she'd actually taken the time to read them closely. I would absolutely rebook, and I highly recommend her for sitting your fur babies, they'll be very well taken care of.”

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. While I have no formal training, I've owned pets consistently for the last 35 years. I've done a lot of work with rescues and shelters, particularly with special needs animals. I'm equipped to give medication of all types, even IVs and injections. I'm currently fostering two silly bulldogs and am volunteering my time with multiple local rescues. I have a knack for animals... You might even call it a superpower! I'll likely become best friends with your pet as soon as I meet them; I'll take the extra time to establish trust with you and your furry friend, so you both know you are in good hands with me. Whether it be just a quick walk or a homestay, your pet will be the center of my attention and will always be in good hands! Every booking comes with lots of pictures and a full recap of our time together. While I'm typically not available early in the morning, my schedule is otherwise pretty flexible. I'm available for drop ins and over nights. Unfortunately due to an FIV+ cat I am unable to host your pet here. I will schedule a meet and greet prior to our first booking to meet you and your pet at your home. I like to schedule this for up to one our in order to make sure we take the time we need to establish trust. Many of my pets over the years have been special needs, including English Bulldogs and FIV+ cats.

About: I don’t have a dog at the moment, or take care of any, but my experiences with dogs would be when I was more smaller, I had a bulldog named snowball, and I would always take her for walks all the time as I can remember. But my grandma also does have 2 dogs, and I take them for walks here and there whenever she needs help. I’m currently working full time as a server, but I am free in the mornings, or late nights, which I’ve been trying to find side jobs or stuff to do during the mornings, so I can fill in those gaps of not doing anything. Most of the time I am home, so I give lots of attention to my cats. One of my cats are very old, so I try to be next to her and pet her whenever she wants me there, since she tends to be sleeping most of the time. My other cat, I would still say he’s kitten like, I play with him often so he won’t feel alone, since my other cat is older, and can’t tolerate it.

About: I’m Sarah. My experience with dogs started when I was a little baby. I grew up living with canines, and my family raised me with the idea that pets are part of the family. They showed me how to take care of them, how to treat them, and how to respect them. What I love most about being a pet sitter is that even when you’re having a bad day, having a pup by your side can make everything better. I’ve owned all dogs of several different breeds and sizes, including Chihuahuas, French Poodles, Schnauzers, and German Shepherds. I volunteered at Saving Grace NC for their "Host a Dog Weekend," and it was fantastic. I hosted a Labrador named Thea and showed her how to go to the bathroom and how to behave in a home. I don’t have any certifications or special training for pet care, but I can provide your pooch with a happy, special, and fun time while you’re away. I really really love my neighborhood in downtown Raleigh because it’s full of dogs and has lots of parks. There are always people walking their pups and plenty of safe places to explore. My apartment is not the biggest one, but I think it’s peaceful. It’s a good environment to spend time with my furry guests. I go on three walks a day and consider myself an active and energetic person. I’m responsible and patient, which make me a great pet sitter because no matter what is going on, I always act calm. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish and highly responsible in every single area of my life. I work from home, which makes caring for pets easy. I treat all dogs like they are part of my family.

About: Hi! My name is Helen, and I recently moved from France to beautiful Long Beach. I've been passionate about dogs my whole life, I've had several of my own, and I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family. Ask anyone who knows me: dogs and I just click! I’m currently not working, which means I have lots of availability and flexibility, especially on weekdays from 8 AM to 7 PM. Need a last-minute walk or a schedule change? I’ve got you covered. I live in a dog-friendly community in Downtown Long Beach, with everything your pup could dream of: 🐶 A quiet, private dog park right inside the building 🌳 Several nearby parks and outdoor spaces 🧼 An on-site dog grooming station 🦴 Treats always on hand 🏖️ And the beach is just a few minutes’ walk away! Whether your dog loves calm strolls, playful outings, or just needs some TLC while you're away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Feel free to reach out, I’d love to meet you and your pup!

About: As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give dogs the time, attention, and companionship they need. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, and staying active or prefers a slower, more relaxed routine, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. My biggest priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home in my care. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, respect their boundaries, and give them plenty of attention, enrichment, and love throughout their stay. I’m currently a full-time student, so I’m home most of the day and able to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddle time, proper enrichment, regular potty breaks, and everything they need to feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve always been an animal lover and have a deep love for my own pets. I do my best to create a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment where they can feel happy and at ease. For the past six years, I’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering both cats and dogs, which has taught me how to care for animals with a variety of personalities and needs. Your pet’s health and well-being will always be my first priority, followed by making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well supervised while they’re in my care.

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Long Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Long Beach on Rover is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 20,363 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.

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 .

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.
