“Scott did a great job taking care of my home and my two dogs. As a first time Rover user I was a bit nervous, but Scott's frequent communications and pictures put me at ease. I would request Scott again if I take another trip.”
“She has gone above and beyond every time we have used her to take care of our dog. She has taken him walking extra and stayed in communication with us on his care with pictures. She is excellent and we will use her again very soon.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From growing up with cats and dogs to spending the last four years working with an animal rescue, caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s what drives me. I’ve helped care for rescue animals and pets of all personalities and needs. My goal is always the same: to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I'm currently working part time. I can be available in the mornings before 8am and most afternoons after 4pm. My working days change, but I am happy to fit what is needed in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard. I do have two friendly dogs whome are kenneled off and on, and 2 cats. I also foster and help care of others animals in their homes and sometimes in mine for periods of time.
“We would give Davey 8 stars if possible. He went above and beyond in caring for MILA and our home. They were perfectly matched and Davey was able to intertwine his work with providing excellent care and attention. We will choose Davey every time when available to love on our dog.”
About: I’ve had all sorts of animals growing up and to this day. I’ve always been responsible when it comes to caring for dogs and animals of all sorts. I’m compassionate and genuinely love being around them as well as caring for them. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’m available all days and hours to meet every pups wants and special needs! I’m committed to my job and will work with any schedule. I live on 2 acres with my own dog who is super playful and keeps my one year old entertained. She loves having friends come visit. I also have reliable transportation to come to your house or take the dogs to a nearby dog park I use often if that’s something your fur baby will enjoy! I’m a stay at home mom so I have plenty free time so cater to all your pet needs. My daughter has all the energy to play with them as well. I offer full services and am trained in safety pet care management I pride myself in making sure your pets feel like they’re on vacation so they don’t focus on missing their persons.
“We’re so grateful to have found Diane on Rover! She was absolutely wonderful with our dog—attentive, kind, and incredibly responsive. From the start, she was quick to communicate, flexible with scheduling, and made everything easy for us. Most importantly, our dog took to her right away, snuggling up like they’d known each other forever. It’s clear Diane genuinely cares, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such loving hands. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
About: Over the years, my family has had 7 dogs, and I have adored them all like family. That said, I have had experience caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Additionally, I have had countless jobs over the years dog-sitting for family or friends. I would give your dog or cat the love and care they need and be the person you could count on to keep them safe, happy, and healthy. My dad is allergic to cats, but if he wasn't, I would have one in a heartbeat! I would be honored to be given the opportunity to care for your pet. I am currently on a job search, so Rover is one of my means of income while I find a more full-time gig! I am pretty free and can pretty much completely plan my schedule around pet care. Whatever you need from me, I can do! I always approach pets I have not yet met with caution and gentleness. I will pet and hang out with your fur baby as much or as little as you'd like me to. It all just depends on your instructions.

About: After retiring as an Assistant Superintendent, I found myself looking for the perfect way to stay active, connected, and fulfilled—and caring for dogs turned out to be exactly that. I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for four-legged companions of all sizes and personalities. I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals and currently wear many proud titles: dog mom to a 90-pound lovable Labrador, doggy grandma to a black Lab, a Dachshund mix, four beagles, and even a black cat. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I’ve gained years of hands-on experience through family and close friends. I genuinely enjoy walking dogs, spending quality time with them, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable providing necessary medications once proper instructions are given, and I always prioritize each pet’s routine and well-being. For safety and personal reasons, I do not care for animals in households that also have snakes or other reptiles. Otherwise, I welcome the opportunity to care for your furry family members with the same love and attention I give my own. If you’re looking for a dependable, compassionate dog walker who treats every pet like family, I’d love to meet you and your pup. I am newly retired and have ample time during my day and week to take care of your fur babies. This is what I want to do in my retirement! I love all pets the same and show them the love and comfort that they need while you’re away. I am happy to conform to their routines and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable around me.
About: Neighbors, friends trust and rely on me to love their fur babies ( im their babies auntie Lissa) I communicate and update with owners at least times or more daily with pictures, videos text messages, or phone calls. I make sure my reponse time back to owners is quick…efficient. Clear communication at all times. I work full time, M-Th 8:30-4:30 Fridays 8:30-2. Some days get off earlier but before, after work plenty of time to walk, playtime, snuggles and able to stay nights at your house to give the best comfort to your furry baby in their own familiar safe place they know! Also plenty of time to spend all day with them on the weekends. I care for pets in client’s homes that way there’s no interruption in the babies can stay in daily routine in familiar place. No stress.
About: Along with my years of experience in caring for my own pets (dogs and cats), I have also fostered puppies and kittens. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they are well taken care of. I currently work from home and set my own schedule, so my schedule is flexible. There are various times through the week and weekend I am available to take care of your beloved pets! I am always alert to the needs of my cat, whether she needs food, water, her litter changed, or wants to play. Whatever animal you may have, I will have them the attention and care they need, through playing, walking, feeding, etc. (Just like you would :))

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Long Beach
I highly recommend Nicole as a pet sitter. I just moved and was in my new home for a week and had to find a sitter quickly for a planned three-day trip. I was nervous leaving my dog with someone new especially in a new home. My dog also has terrible separation anxiety. I didn’t needy worry - Nicole took great care of him. She sent daily pictures which I appreciated.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
