“Linda house sat for my 3 dogs over a long weekend and was amazing. She went above and beyond with all 3 of my dogs, they were so happy to stay with her. She sent me pictures of them everyday with an update of how they were doing. They always looked happy and healthy in all the pictures, which was very reasurring for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone, she is wonderful with dogs and they were very comfortable and happy with her. Next time I go away and cannot bring them, I will definitely be booking her to sit with my dogs.”
“Delaney was awesome! She was very sweet and patient with my senior dog and potty training in progress puppy. Super communicative and sent cute photos throughout. I recommend Delaney for your pet sitting!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have loved each and every one of them. I currently have a big Siberian Husky who's the sweetest guy, but sometimes a handful. Let's just say I'm use to dogs that may pull on their leash or have a lot of energy! I'll be able to care for your pet and cater to their specific needs. It's very important for me to know that my dog is being cared for thoroughly and treated kindly when I'm away or not available to do so. That's why you can count on me to do the same for yours! I’m a full-time human mom and dog mom. :) I currently work part-time (out of the home :) ) so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets. At home I have a fence for our dog, but he also goes on daily walks. I’m comfortable caring for your pet in whatever environment you need me to.
“We just moved to St James and I was a little nervous about finding a new cat sitter. Olivia put me at ease right away, and did a terrific job with our kitty. She even brought him a new toy. I receive photos and updates twice a day. On top of that, she was wonderful with watering plants, taking out garbage, bringing in the mail and keeping an eye on our home. I will definitely be rebooking her”
“Brooklyn was excellent with our pups and bird. She was attentive to their needs and provided daily updates and pictures. She accommodated our early return for an emergency. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you”

“Lexi did a great job housesitting while we were away. We came back to a tidy house and two happy dogs who seemed to have been well taken care of. We would be happy to work with her again for pet care :)”
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small rodents. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I cared for through his senior years, and a Miniature Schnauzer/Jack Russell mix, whom I raised from a puppy. I also previously had a hedgehog named Harold for 8 years, and currently have a cat named Penelope (Nellie), who I absolutely adore and am so obsessed with. I am comfortable around even the most “difficult” pets and would love to care for your pets like my own! I have the most availability on evenings and weekends, and am typically available for major holidays as well. I know you can’t always predict when you will need pet care so I try to be available with short notice. I know the importance of a safe environment and will ensure that your pet’s space works best for his/her needs as well as your own.
About: Hey, I’m Cassidy! I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 5 years before transitioning into pet sitting full time, and I’ve cared for animals my entire life. Between my vet assistant background, my own pets, and years of hands-on pet care, I’m comfortable caring for pups and kitties of different ages, sizes, personalities, routines, and medical needs. I currently offer house sitting and drop-in visits, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home while still getting the care, attention, and routine they’re used to. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, meals, medication, snuggles, potty breaks, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and your home. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, keep you updated with photos and messages, and help with small home tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or keeping things tidy while you’re gone. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I want them to feel like their routine stayed familiar, their needs were met, and they had a friend looking out for them the whole time. Feel free to reach out with any questions or details about your pet’s routine- I’d love to learn more about them and see if we’d be a good fit! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. For house sitting, I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets in their own home and keep their routine as normal as possible. For drop-in visits, I make sure each visit includes whatever your pet needs most — meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, or just some extra love and attention. I do step out for errands, appointments, and occasional outings, but I always plan my schedule around the pets in my care and their specific needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

If your pet needs someone to burn off energy or just lounge around I will adapt to any pets needs. Need the ball thrown for an hour a day? Need a lot of sniffs on a walk? Just need to be moved to the food bowl then back into a sunny spot? I'll do anything to make sure your pet is getting what they require.

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.
