Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Los Cerritos Area, Long Beach, CA

About: One thing about me, I genuinely care for your pet. I treat each pet as if they are my own and make sure to show that love and care throughout my time with them. Ive been a dog sitter and walker for over 9 years before joining this app. From puppies to seniors and with different health needs, I have the experience needed to take care of your pup. I now live in South Gate in a home with a fenced-in yard with convenient access to freeways and streets for easy commute. I understand the needs of different types of dogs from the overly friendly to very reactive and can accommodate to the dog’s needs accordingly. I currently have a 10 year-old husky and 1 year-old chihuahua mix I take care of at home. I’m currently in between jobs and have a lot of time on my hands. My time is most free during business hours but I am happy to accommodate to your scheduling needs. I currently live in an apartment. While it is a bit cramped, my husky is not territorial in the least and guest pups have an easy time accommodating to the space. If I am in someone else’s home, I will make sure to adhere to the rules and guidelines they provide me to take care of their pup(s).

About: I am a third year college student attending CSULB majoring in hospitality management. I grew up in the Bay Area where I’ve babysat for many years, and pet sit for the last few. Many of which have been ongoing for the past few years. Growing up I had a gecko, and then later on had a hairless cat, which now lives with my older brother. I do have a part time job at the moment working at a restaurant, however would love to get time to walk or play with animals when time allows! I see it as a great way to relax and focus on the positives in life. I do not have the capacity to care for pets in my own home, however I have a reliable car and am happy to travel to yours and provide the services needed.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and real-life experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have my own pets, so I understand daily routines, feeding, playtime, and comfort needs. I’ve also pet-sat for family and friends, caring for animals of different ages and personalities, including seniors, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student so I am unable to do regular job schedules but pet care is way more accessible to me and plus it would actually be enjoyable! Although for house sitting on certain days I can be there for a couple of hours but not overnight. I provide attentive check-ins and in-home daycare by following each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space, give them plenty of affection, and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

About: My lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’ve completed puppy training classes with my own dog, so I understand how to teach patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. My years of volunteering at animal shelters taught me how to handle pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every animal like my own, giving them the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I’m currently going to college and have classes Monday through Thursday, but on Tuesdays and Thursdays I only have morning classes! I have plenty of time during the evening on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as most of the day Friday through Sunday to spend quality time with your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their routine consistent and stress free. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and give them plenty of attention and playtime. I always keep their space clean, provide fresh water, and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I love spending quality time with each pet; whether it’s cuddling, playing, or going for walks, so they feel loved and cared for until you return.

“Laura is so nice, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I know my two huskies can be a handful, but I felt so at ease having her stop by to let them go potty and eat dinner while I was out of town on a day trip. I was able to enjoy my time and not have to worry about their safety. She was sure to clarify any questions and followed all their medication needs. I know my dogs enjoyed having someone stop by and give them some loving while I was gone too. She also sent me the cutest pictures of my babies! So grateful for Laura!”

“Courtney is the best! She noticed that my cat wasn’t acting his normal self, and she was right; he was hospitalized the day I came home and is now fully recovered:) Thank you Courtney for being so attentive!”

About: I've taken care of stray cats making them my own by feeding, cleaning, and keeping them happy. I also would take care of dogs and puppies the same way and I love their playful energy. I'm currently studying at Long Beach City College as an architecture student and I only attend classes for 3 days so I am open to take care of your pets for the rest of the week!! I'll have fun with your pets and make sure to clean whatever mess they make. I will also feed them food on the regular to insure that they're getting the best care.

About: Hi! My name is Diana and I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist who absolutely loves spending time with dogs. My professional background has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, routine, and understanding behavior — all of which translate perfectly into caring for pets. I understand that dogs thrive on structure, calm energy, and reliability. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, anxious, or just loves a good walk, I tailor each visit to their needs. I’m extremely dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your dog is in safe and caring hands. I’m comfortable with: • High-energy dogs • Senior dogs • Dogs that need patience and routine • Dogs who may be anxious or reactive on walks I treat every dog like they’re my own and I take the responsibility very seriously. I look forward to meeting your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I keep a consistent schedule and intentionally leave open time in my mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks and drop-in visits. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so dog walking is something I genuinely look forward to each day. Because of my professional background, I’m very organized, punctual, and communicative. I plan my day carefully, which allows me to be fully present and dependable for every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every visit. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I make sure the environment is secure, calm, and free from hazards. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, bathroom breaks, and any special care instructions. I supervise all interactions, use leashes and harnesses properly, and ensure dogs feel comfortable and confident. I provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for at all times.

“Brittany was so sweet and wonderful! She took care of our Golden while we were away and was so accommodating to our schedule. She is so great with dogs and we could tell immediately that our dog would be comfortable with her. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was happy while we were away. Thank you again! Would highly recommend Brittany to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”

About: I missed having dogs at home. Unfortunately I lost both of them last year. I had them for 16yrs. I have experience with senior dogs. I know how to put injections such as Insuline shots and give them medicine. I live in Long Beach, very close to LBG, very convenient airport. I like to keep the dogs at the house and just have a daily routine as they do at own home. I tried not to take them to places unless is required. I'm currently working part time and working from home. I'm available most week days and weekends. I'd rather take reservations from Thursday thru Sunday and some holidays too. Only one family at the time, no more than 3 pets. I just moved to Long Beach. Bixby Knolls area. Very close to Long Beach Airport. Very convenient and easy airport to flight from. Safe environment, a lot of places to go for a walk and 3 story townhouse, hard wood floors with small balcony, small patio and garage. Enough space to spoiled your dog. Gates to keep the dogs away from the stairs as well.

“Marby was on time, communicated throughout the visit, followed detailed instructions, and figured out how to feed my finicky pug when he wouldn’t eat. I’ll be working with her again.”

“Laine has recently started watching my pup while I’m at work and she’s fantastic! She’s very thorough when going over care instructions and sends me updates throughout her visit. I work long hours and typically my senior pup is barking when I get home but since Laine started watching him, I come home to him sleeping on the couch! Thankful to have found such a loving, reliable sitter for my Skippy❤️”

“Lauren took care of Dakota by dropping in 3 times a day for an hour each time. I cannot recommend her enough. Dakota easily bonded with her and seemed to just know she was a good human! Lauren arrived promptly and sent me pictures throughout the day. Texting me with updates as requested. She’s awesome! I will definitely be booking her again in the future! :)”

“Always the best! Thank you!”

About: Ive had dogs, cats, snakes, and fish ever since I was a little kid. Sometimes all at the same time! I am passionate about providing a loving, safe environment for your pets especially since I have none at the moment! I’m very good with animals and responsible, having previous babysitting and pet care experience. I am a current junior at California State University Long Beach with a flexible schedule! I have a car if needed and don't currently work. In order to create a safe, trusting environment, I pay attention to the pets needs. I use my understanding to judge when they want to be fed, use the bathroom, or have play time!

About: I have been taking care of and loving pets for about 8 years. Through either having my own pet or taking care of family, friends, and neighbors pets. I have handled almost every type of animal (Dogs, Cats, Bunnies, Birds, Fish, Turtles, etc). I have done very aggressive cats along with sweet loving cats and for dogs, I have handled big dogs (150lbs), small dogs (8-12lbs), and everything in between. I have taken care of very few senior dogs/cats. I also haven't done much medication (other than pills) but I am very open to and eager to learn medication. I am currently an 19 year who is a part time student in college. I also do have a "real job" (part time) as-well but I will definitely work with you and around my schedule for your animals to make sure they are well taken care of. I joined Rover because I love caring for animals and I would also like the opportunity to make new friends along with making a little extra money to help pay for my college tuition. I am willing to work around your animals needs and change my schedule so that your pets get the love and attention they deserve. I am a very good listener and I will take care of your pet exactly how you tell me to. I will make sure they are well fed and loved while they are in my control. I will make sure they get any medicine they need, cleaned up after, walked, fed, watered, and whatever else is needed. I will keep in contact with you while you are gone sending you photo updates of your pet as-well so that way you know your pet is happy and healthy. 😊

About: Hi, I’m Fancy! I love making new friends and playing all day. My human Judy has years of experience caring for big dogs and even raised and trained, Dolly the Dogo Argentino (RIP), Now it’s my turn to share the fun, come join me for playdates, cuddles, and poolside adventures! If you have the right temperament, you can even meet the cats (twin boys, Pancho and Lefty) and our backyard chickens! I work from home as a healthcare consultant and would welcome your dogs to my little urban farm located in LBC. I am home most days really just going out for errands, animals are the main focus of my day, I have 2 indoor cats, a 7 month old golden retriever and 4 backyard chickens. I even have a feral cat that I feed, she is best friends with the chickens but wont let me touch her, yet! I have a fenced yard, that was built to contained my beloved Dogo Argentino, my home is very safe with doors that separate the house in sections, This is helpful when needing to separate the animals, or to create barriers for escape artists. I have crates if needed. Most dogs just sleep in the bed with me, Fancy will pout for the first night and then she will cuddle up!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child and have had multiple dogs of my own. I’ve been walking dogs for over 23 yrs for my friends, family and neighbors’ dogs and they do currently rely on me when they need their dogs walked and played with, or just spoiled with lots of love and attention. 🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️ I currently work freelance so my schedule is very flexible and I will have plenty of time to give full attention to puppies or any dogs that require extra or special attention. I have a fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own to play with your furbaby. I also take them to the park regularly and can take ur furbaby to the park or dog beach for a day of fun.

About: With 18 years of pet care, I’ve looked after cats, dogs, and now my gecko. As a babysitter, I also care for animals in their homes, ensuring love and attention. As a college student, my schedule changes each semester. Even with this variation, I make sure to regularly update my availability on Rover as needed. I ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, offering walks, home visits/check-ins, playtime, attention, and regular updates with pictures to keep owners informed.

“It’s so stressful finding someone to take care of your pets while you’re away so I’m glad I found Hannah to look after my two cats. It usually takes a bit for my cats to trust new people and I even told her one of the cats probably won’t want to interact with her this first time she watches them, but much to my surprise they warmed up to her right away and begged her for pets while she was there! It was such a relief knowing my cats were getting some love and attention while we were gone. Hannah is a wonderful pet sitter and I’m sure my cats are looking forward to seeing her again.”
