Jordan did an amazing job doing 10 drop-in visits across 4 days for my dog Gus. Jordan came super prepared at the meet and greet visit and asked a lot of questions to understand Gus’ routine. My dog is part lab/cattle dog and has a bunch of quirks, and she made sure he was well taken care of. Jordan also did a great job when I booked her for a first time walk before my trip so Gus could get familiar with her. Providing picture updates on the walk. She provided great updates in each Rover card. Including photos, videos, and notes from each visit to share how Gus was doing. She even came back to check on him on 4th of July to ensure he was ok during fireworks. It’s my first time using Rover and Gus was in great hands. She made my trip worry-free. Would definitely book her again!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. As a pet owner and experienced sitter, I’ve cared for dogs through walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting for friends and family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny teacup Yorkies to large Dobermans, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m also a future nurse, so caring for others is at the heart of who I am. My nursing education, combined with volunteer experience in hospitals, hospice, and as a caregiver, has taught me patience, compassion, reliability, and close attention to detail. I bring that same mindset to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll tailor my care to their needs and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands! Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I’m currently a nursing student with a flexible schedule and multiple days available throughout the week. I am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, consistent care. I’m available most mornings and after 5 PM on weekdays, with full day availability on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Wednesdays, I’m fully available after 12 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to work around your pet’s routine and provide walks, check-ins, playtime, feeding, and companionship while you’re away. When I care for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. I know pets feel most secure in their own environment, so I make sure to follow their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and what makes them feel comfortable. Some pets love attention and play, while others need more patience and space to warm up. I’m happy to provide whatever care they need, whether that’s walks, cuddles, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or simply keeping them company while their owners are away. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for!

About: I specialize in caring for calm, well-trained, highly independent pets while maintaining a clean, organized, and well-cared-for home. My goal is to follow your pet’s established routine and provide consistent, dependable care while you’re away. I’m a great fit for households with pets that are well-mannered, comfortable with their routines, and able to settle independently. I focus on maintaining the environment your pets are already familiar with, ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout your absence. As a full-time traveling house sitter that has cared for 25+ homes, pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I intentionally schedule my days around each pet’s established feeding, exercise, play, and care routines while maintaining the home as if it were my own. Because this is my full time focus, I’m able to provide consistent attention, adapt to each household’s preferences, and ensure pets receive dependable care throughout my stay. House and pet sitting gives me the ability to experience new environments while maintaining structure and consistency in my daily life. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and presence of pets in the home. I like learning their personalities, how different animals and breeds interact with their environment, and what helps them feel comfortable and at ease. I also enjoy play, interaction, and building a calm, steady presence with them during a sit. I provide structured, routine based care including feeding, walking, playtime, enrichment, and oral medication when it can be given with ease and cooperation. I value calm, stable home environments with clear instructions and consistent routines. I do best in well maintained, organized homes that are clutter free, odor free, clean, and with minimal excess pet hair buildup. I also appreciate the use of air purifiers when available. While I work remotely and am primarily at home, my work includes focused independent periods, and I check in on pets throughout the day as part of their routine care. A video call (Zoom or Google Meet) is required prior to confirming a sit to ensure a mutual fit for both home and pet care expectations. I appreciate homeowners who are familiar with my profile and come prepared with any questions as well. I am not a fit for: • Highly Velcro pets requiring constant proximity or attention • Aggressive behavior toward humans or other animals • Physical force based handling, training, or behavior modification responsibilities • Daily intensive mess cleanup or unmanaged accidents • Co-sleeping (pets must sleep independently in their own space outside the bedroom) • Frequent last minute changes, unclear schedules, or unstable routines I value clear communication, respectful, hospitable, and well structured sits.

About: For over six years, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels—whether it’s one loyal companion or a lively crew. I treat every pup with care, making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Reliable, patient, and always ready for a walk (or many pets)! For fish - I’ve had a tank through my whole life (freshwater) and recently have had saltwater, taking a close eye on their needs and tank maintenance. 🐾🐠🐟 I currently work full-time on weekdays, but I’m available for morning and evening check-ins during the week. My weekends are fully open, so I’m happy to help however I can then! While I care for a saltwater tank full of marine life at home, I always make sure to dedicate plenty of focused time to meet—and go beyond—the needs of your furry companions. Every pet deserves attention, affection, and a little extra love while you’re away, and that’s exactly what I provide.

About: Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a marketing writer based in Manhattan Beach, originally from the Midwest, and I’ve had dogs and cats around me my entire life! I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and couch space to give yours. I’m a very experienced dog godmother and genuinely love spending time with pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from beach-walk extroverts to cozy little couch potatoes. Because I work from home full-time, I’m especially available during the day for walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and check-ins. We even live right next to Bruces Beach Park so we can run around and play! Your pet won’t just be “watched” they’ll get real attention, affection, and a calm, comfortable place to hang while you’re away. I’m also available for overnight boarding and would love to make your dog feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I work from home so I have fairly free availability most days of the week and your pet will have constant companionship! Please let me know for boarding requests :) I do not have pets so your pet will be the only one in my apartment, we are also young thirties with no children so the full focus will be on your pet!

About: I have three years of experience dog-sitting and walking my sister’s terrier mix, so I’m comfortable with routines, walks, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need to feel secure. Outside of that, I’m an art history professor and PhD student, which means I’m very responsible, organized, and reliable. Years of teaching and working in museums have trained me to be attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, qualities I bring directly into pet care. I’m calm, consistent, and genuinely love spending time with both dogs and cats. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available all day on Mondays and Fridays, and most weekends. On Tuesdays, I’m available until 1 pm; on Wednesdays, after 2 pm; and on Thursdays, until 3 pm. I’m reliable, consistent, and able to maintain your pet’s routine. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routines. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific needs. I’m very respectful of your home, keep spaces clean, and prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being at all times.

About: I have grown up with pets and have enjoyed learning and experiencing different personalities. With my hands-on experience your furry friend is in capable and caring hands. I specialize in small to medium-sized dogs, but my recent experience with larger breeds has expanded my horizons, though I'm quite selective and open to it only if they're exceptionally well-behaved. My approach to pet sitting is all about creating a comfortable space for your pet to ensure they feel safe and cared for even when you're not at home with them. I understand that every pet is unique and requires individualized attention, which is why I tailor my care to suit their needs and why I only accept 1 client household at a time. I try to accommodate your pet's schedule so that they don't have to experience too much change at once. This includes sticking to exercise regimens, feeding schedules, potty breaks and bedtimes. I work remotely full-time which means I have flexibility in my schedule. Additionally, I try to maintain an active lifestyle which includes running and hiking. When onboarding a new client, I make sure that I understand the pet's schedule and preferences. Additionally, I make sure to understand any boundaries the pet should adhere in the client's home including yard space or even areas in the house. I do a walkthrough with the client so I know what areas may pose a safety concern such as gates and fences. I try to understand the pet's behavior in different scenarios such as when the door bell rings or if a neighborhood dog approaches during walks. I also make sure I have emergency numbers and the location of the closest animal hospital. For client's ease of mind , I provide pictures and updates as needed on the pet.

About: Giving your pets so much love, while leaving your home better than when you left. Grew up on a farm in Canada with many animals, while also having pets over the years since. In addition to providing reliable and loving care for your pet(s) and home, I also offer Animal Reiki sessions and gentle energetic space clearing—helping your pet feel calmer and your home feel refreshed and balanced while you’re away. I’ve been house and pet sitting for friends for awhile now and have led a digital nomad life around the world in 45 countries and counting since 2010. Thought I’d give this platform a try as I’m in transition and planning to settle down in California permanently while checking out more areas to see what’s a long term fit. I love animals, playing beach volleyball, and run my own digital marketing agency of 15 years that has always been remote-first so have a very flexible schedule that I create. Looking forward to caring for your home and pets! I grew up on a farm in northern Canada and it sustained our family so I have a lot of experience with pets and many animals, from our own dogs and cats, to rabbits, cattle, pigs and chickens. I’ve lived in many cities around the world since and also had additional pets throughout life and have often been asked to care for friend's and family’s pets and homes over the years. I absolutely love it because I move around a lot and do not have my own at the moment.

Vanessa took wonderful care of our cats while we were away for two weeks. She was always on time, incredibly responsive, and kept us updated with detailed report cards after every visit. It was obvious from the photos and updates that our cats were comfortable, well cared for, and genuinely loved by her, they looked like they were having a great time! She also went above and beyond by bringing in our packages and helping with a few small requests around the house, which we really appreciated. Knowing everything was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter!

Beyza was amazing with our cat, Strawberry. Even though it was their first time meeting, they bonded very quickly and Strawberry felt comfortable with her right away. During every visit, Beyza spent quality time playing with Strawberry, brushing him, and making sure he received plenty of attention and care. She was very responsible with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, and keeping an eye on everything while we were away. Whenever there was anything worth mentioning, she proactively reached out and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. I would absolutely book Beyza again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Strawberry!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Manhattan Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Manhattan Beach on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 8,733 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Manhattan Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manhattan Beach. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
