“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.”
“Haley did a fantastic job (again!) taking care of our home and all of our pets while we were away for a long weekend. She is our go to when we go away on vacation — we know we can count on her to love our crew and make sure everything is taken care of!!”
“I would highly recommend Donna! She took great care of my pup, communicated with me during her whole stay and sent lots of pictures and videos. She has a great setup to accommodate dogs at her home and did a great job taking my pup on tons of walks.”
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.
About: Recently stationed in Gulfport and just moved into our new home. My wife and I will go above and beyond when caring for your dog or cats. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have house sat and walked dogs for family and friends for just as long. We have fostered cats as well and have experience with many types of animals. I have watched dogs from 8lbs puppies to 100+ pound dogs and everything in between. I have a fenced in yard and I love to give dogs attention and am always down to take them on a run, play fetch with them and give them lots of attention. I look forward to watching your pets! I am currently station at Camp Lejeune and my wife is home, so between the two of us, someone will always be watching your dog(s). I have a fenced in yard, and 2 non aggressive dogs. We always supervise when they are together and can ensure your dog will be safe with us.
“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!”
“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.”
“Holi-Nicol was great! We had to make a last minute booking due to an out of town funeral. She responded quickly and set up a meet and greet for the next day. She was great with our three dogs, and kept us updated with pictures. The dogs loved her, and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Krystal was amazing with my fur baby, Cocoa. I felt comfortable leaving them together and I will definitely reach out to her next time I need someone to look after my baby. Highly recommend.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! We’ve never left our girls (a Rottweiler and a Yorkie) with anyone before. It has really hampered our ability to go on vacation. The dogs loved her from the very first meeting. She sent us updates and photos everyday which really helped our separation anxiety, lol. The house was well maintained and she watered our plants for us. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
About: I have had all sorts of animals throughout life. Currently I have a 7 year old German Shepard and a 2 year old miniature poodle. I also have a duck, goose, and about 40 chickens. I am new to this site. Be my first client 💜🐶 I am currently able to sit at your home which is less stressful for your fur babies. I work full time as an elementary teacher and otherwise will be available. A typical day is arriving to work at 7am and home by 4. Mid day visits can be possible with some prior notice depending on location Our pets are part of our family and are treated as such. Animals bring such a sense of purpose to our life. I will treat your pets the same as I treat my own.
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.

Nicole was punctual, pleasant, and very good with our two border collies. She was flexible in scheduling the house sitting, as we had a few thing that happened that caused us to rearrange our schedule. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone needing a pet sitter. She was great and we would definitely use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Long Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Long Beach on Rover is $42.18 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 147 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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
