“Pamela was great at taking care of our babies. She walked them daily and was privy to their neediness. We also have an escape artist and she was communicative even when things were going “wrong” but was quick to act and found him safe and sound. Would highly recommend her to anyone. She treated them like her own babies.”
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.
“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: 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: I have 7 years of experience caring for animals and have always loved being around pets. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and keeping your pets company while you are away. I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and provide updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind while you are away! I currently have an open schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I am flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. Whether you need daily visits, walks, overnight stays, or care while you are on vacation, I would love to help! Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your home secure, and make sure your pet has fresh water, food, and plenty of attention. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I will respect your pet’s routine. I am dependable, patient, and happy to send updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you are away!

“Danielle took such great and loving care of our little odd-ball pack while we were gone for the weekend! With 2 huskies, a beagle, 2 cats, and even a turtle-it is definitely a busy household! She went above and beyond and sent photos of everyone during her stay. Highly recommend, and we plan on contacting her in the future for all petcare needs!”

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.
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
