“Jordan was absolutely great with our kitty! She is very responsive, thorough in her updates, and very positive. We really appreciated her videos and photos and were so glad that our little guy was being so well taken care of and having some great playtime for a few days while we were away! She also brought in our packages that arrived while we were out which was very kind. We’d absolutely recommend her for catsitting anytime! Thanks again, Jordan! 😊”

About: Hi, I’m Tysen! I’m studying aviation technology and live in Torrance. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember—with three Frenchies and six cats, there’s never been a dull moment at home! I’ve also worked at my aunt’s doggie daycare, Furever Friends Play & Stay in Hawaii, since my freshman year of high school. Caring for pets is something I’ve grown up doing, both at home and in a professional daycare setting. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs and cats around my school schedule. Whether your dog needs a potty break and some exercise or your cat needs dinner and a little company, I’ll follow your routine and give them attentive care. Having Frenchies and cats in the family has taught me that every pet has their own personality—and sometimes very strong opinions! I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours comfortable, whether they love attention or prefer a little space. You can expect photos, clear updates, and careful attention to your instructions. I’m happy to meet beforehand so you and your pet can get comfortable with me. Thank you for trusting me with your furry family! Every booking helps me cover gas and food while I work toward my dream of becoming an aviation technician. Your support means a lot to me, and I’d love to become a familiar face your pet looks forward to seeing! For the most part my schooling is from Mon-Fri 6:20 pm- 11:55pm so anytime before then I am available to drop in on ur fur baby! I have no pets in my current home as I am renting. But rest assured I will take all the proper accommodations to make sure your fur baby gets all the care they need!

“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!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me to check on, feed, walk and play with their pets. What sets me apart is my professional background in 4-star luxury hospitality and corporate office coordination. Because of this experience, I bring absolute reliability, meticulous attention to detail, and deep respect for your home security and privacy. I am highly responsible and comfortable following strict feeding schedules, tracking specific dietary needs, administering medications or managing energetic walks. Whether your pet needs high-energy midday walks or gentle and attentive care, I focus entirely on keeping them safe, happy and loved while you are away. I operate with a highly flexible weekly schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate midday walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting assignments. I have excellent availability on weekends as well as open windows on weekdays to adjust to your pet's precise care routines. I am dedicated to maintaining strict schedule compliance so your pets are not left waiting. Safety and trust are my absolute highest priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all specific household rules, gate protocols and security instructions down to the smallest detail. I maintain a highly observant eye on environmental safety during neighborhood walks, check for secure leashes, and strictly avoid interaction with unfamiliar animals. I also provide real-time updates and clear photo check-ins after every visit so you have total peace of mind.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have been around pets for basically my whole life. I had my dog for 16 years, so I’ve grown up learning how to care for a dog, keep up with their routine, give them attention, take them on walks, and make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I’ve also had three cats, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and know that every pet has their own personality. I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience yet, but I’m very responsible, caring, patient, and excited to take care of other people’s pets. I’ll always follow your instructions and treat your pet like my own. I’m a full-time college student, so my schedule depends on my classes, but I have plenty of free time throughout the week. I’m hoping to use some of that time doing something I genuinely love, which is being around animals. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the day and my class schedule. I’m pretty flexible and will always be upfront about my availability. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they can stay comfortable. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I’ll always take their safety seriously. I’ll follow any instructions you give me about feeding, walks, medications, routines, or anything else your pet needs. I’ll make sure they’re safe during walks and visits and pay attention to how they’re acting so I can notice if something seems off. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away and can send pictures and little updates of your pet so you know how they’re doing. I know it’s nice to be able to see your pet while you’re away. I’ll give them lots of attention, patience, and love while they’re in my care.

About: I’ve been animal sitting for many years, caring for pets of all kinds, and I’m excited to expand my experience and build connections in this space. Pet care fits naturally into my routine right now since I have a very flexible schedule. Having worked remotely for the past few years, I’m used to structuring my day around responsibilities, so I can easily accommodate feedings, check-ins, walks, and quality time. I’m available throughout the day and can be consistent and attentive to each pet’s needs. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal schedule; feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, while keeping their environment clean and calm. I also send regular updates so owners feel at ease.

About: What truly sets me apart is my nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine. As a seasoned veterinary technician, I don’t just provide loving care—I bring a trained eye for subtle changes in behavior, health, and comfort that others might miss. I’m experienced in administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with medical needs, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, knowledgeable hands. Beyond my medical background, I genuinely love building trust with every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I tailor my approach to match their personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s extra patience for a shy pup, attentive monitoring for a senior cat, or energetic playtime for an active dog, I provide care that goes above and beyond standard pet sitting. With me, you’re not just hiring a sitter—you’re gaining peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for by someone with professional veterinary experience and a true passion for animal wellbeing. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my day—it *is* my day. I’ve intentionally dedicated my full-time focus to providing attentive, high-quality care for the pets and families I work with. This allows me to be fully present, flexible, and responsive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I strive to offer a concierge-style experience for my clients, with reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and a level of detail-oriented care that goes beyond the basics. Because I’m not balancing another full-time role, I’m able to prioritize consistency, availability, and a calm, unhurried approach—something pets truly benefit from. My goal is to make your life easier and your pet’s experience as comfortable and seamless as possible, while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they are my top priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their own familiar environment, surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they know best. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care in your home while maintaining the routine and level of attention your pet is accustomed to. Each pet is unique, so I tailor my visits to meet their individual needs—whether that means daily walks, playtime and enrichment, medication administration, feeding routines, litter box care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while you’re away. With nearly 20 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those with medical needs. I take pride in offering a concierge-style pet care experience with thoughtful communication, detailed updates, and a commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving not only reliable care, but genuine love, attention, and understanding in the comfort of their own home.

About: I have always had dogs in my house growing up. I helped take care of my childhood dog when she got ill. I helped train our newest dogs in tricks, potty and sleep training. I am currently working part time and taking online summer classes so I have lots of open availability. I am usually free everyday after 5pm and I normally go on an hour walk at that time which I would love to have some furry company during! I am very attentive to animals and have become well versed in their subtle mannerism. I make plenty of time for playing around as well as needed rests. I also make sure to clean any messes or accidents and follow laid out feeding schedules.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Manhattan Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Manhattan Beach is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 8,983 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 .

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.

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 .
