“Andrew was an outstanding house and pet sitter . She sent me updated pics and let me know what the dog and birds were doing. She was very professional and left my house in great shape. Andrea is also very flexible. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Sid was amazing with our boy Mylo for 10 days. He took such good care of him and our house. He updated us regularly on his progress and you could see how loved Mylo was. When we came back the house was in the same shape we had left it and Mylo was clean happy and looked well taken care of. We loved having Sid take care of Mylo and we will have him again anytime we need. Thank you sooo much Sid”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, including my own, and I truly understand how important it is to provide them with love, attention, and dependable care. I’m a trustworthy, responsible, and patient dog sitter who treats every dog as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I always make sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently doing online real estate classes while living at home taking care of my own dogs and have plenty of time to help out other animal lovers. My little dogs have their playpens and crates for when they need and also have the stairs blocked off as they can’t use the stairs by themselves for safety reasons. My big dog lives inside most of the time with access to his doggy door at the garage.
“Sydney was great with our 2 dogs. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us well informed. The house was in perfect shape as well. Already have her booked for our next trip.”

About: I have taken care of my own dog from the time he was 3 months old till now with some knowledge of pet training and best practices. I will provide your pet with love and attention while you are away! I work remotely during the day but my hours are flexible if you need to me to drop by or have a mid afternoon walk. Whatever house rules you have set are completely understandable and I will follow them to the best of my ability to make sure training does not go to waste.

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.
“She did well taking care of our very energetic Boxer pup. She sent us a picture and provided an update. When we arrived back home the house was in order. Usually or pup gets zoomies and will move the area rugs or coffee table. We would definitely book her again.”

“We love having Reina sit for our lab Elton! She is always super friendly and provides great updates throughout her visit. She is very mindful when staying at our place and leaves it in better shape than we do! Truly one of the best”

“Out of 5 stars, Alexa gets 10 from me and my boy Blu. This was the first time using the Dog Sitting Service, and since I haven't spent too much time away from my Dog because I got him right before Covid, needless to say, I was extremely nervous about going out of town without him. Alex went above and beyond, and kept my mind at peace. She took tons of pictures which should my boy super happy and super well cared for. Peace of mind goes a long way, and this is an example of doing a job well done. I will definitely be booking the service again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am a dog mom myself to my 5-year-old Mini Bernedoodle, Pippa. I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your dog. I’m extremely attentive, reliable, active, and comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, routines, medications, and lots of love and attention. I also have 10+ years of professional caregiving experience and a background in education, so being responsible for someone you love is second nature to me. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine closely and will always keep you updated with photos and messages while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate weekday and weekend walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m active and love being outside, so daily walks fit naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s established schedule and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions closely and always prioritize safety. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, comfort level, and routine, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Grace was absolutely amazing. As a first time rover user, she took away all the stress and worry I had leaving my boy alone for the first time. She was communicative, patient, sent daily updates and pictures, and overall was very kind and respectful of our space. We will be sure to use her again.”

“Sarah & Karl watched both our dog and cat. They were great communicators & very attentive to our pets needs. We didn’t have to worry about our pets for a single second while we were gone because they were constantly providing updates. 10/10.”

“Marianne was available on short notice and got us out of a tight spot when another sitter fell thru. She was patient with our Beau who can be loud when meeting new people and takes some time to warm up to people. She was able to connect with him in the first 20 minutes and was smooth sailing after. She was thoughtful and asked for information on how to take care of him and our senior cat Tuzo too, as well as what signs to look for that could be a health issue with him. Will gladly reach out to her when we need another sitter in our visits to LA.”

About: I’ve always been obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was 6, and she became the love of my life. I cared for her until I was 19. She was my best friend, part of my daily routine, and went everywhere with me. Since then, I’ve had two rescue dogs, Nani (6) and Lupita (2), who are my whole world. My pets are truly family! They sleep with me, have birthday parties, and are treated with all the love and care they deserve. Because I know how hard it is to trust someone with your biggest treasure, I care for every pet as if they were my own. All my friends always leave their dogs with me when they travel because they know how much love and attention I give to every animal. I have experience walking, bathing, grooming, and playing with dogs of all ages. I’ve also trained my own dogs to follow simple commands like sitting, catching the ball, and peeing on command. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, my first dog had cancer, and I made sure her final years were full of love and comfort. I run my own business from home, so I have a super flexible schedule! I’m home most of the day, which means your pets will always have company, attention, and lots of love. I can easily adjust my routine for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I don’t host pets in my home because I need to respect my older dog, Nani, she’s super sweet but takes time to get comfortable around new dogs. Instead, I offer house sitting and walks at the client’s home. This way, your pet can stay relaxed in their own space, following their routine and getting all the love and care they need.

About: I love dogs. I have two of my own so I always know how to take care of dogs. People will always ask my to watch their dogs and check on them so I have a lot of experience. I will go check on them, and feed them and take them on walks and also play with them so they won't ever get lonely. I also have experience with all types and sizes of dogs . I am available most of the time to check on your dog and will provide the care that your dog needs to feel comfortable and loved through out the day.

“Judy is incredible - we are so grateful to have found her and leave our two dogs in her care over the holidays while we traveled. She is reliable, very communicative, and cares deeply for animals and their individual personalities. We couldn't have asked for anyone more qualified and invested in improving certain behaviors (that we discussed and agreed needed attention) and we are so happy to come home to happy, better behaved pups! We have always had wonderful experiences with our previous dogsitters, but Judy definitely goes above and beyond. We will absolutely continue working with Judy in the future!”

“This was Jasmines second time house sitting for us and she is great! She always goes the extra mile and really makes sure our dog and two cats are well cared for!”

Jasmine was wonderful watching my pups on my first longer out of town trip! I’m so grateful that she held things down at the house while I was across the country. She kept me updated with regular pictures and was attentive to detail. Will absolutely be re-booking asap

Joanne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Mezzi, and truly went above and beyond for us. Mezzi can be a very anxious dog, and the week before our wedding, our apartment was being fumigated, which made an already stressful week even more complicated. Joanne was incredibly understanding and flexible — she stayed at our Airbnb with Mezzi for a night and then brought her safely back to our apartment once the fumigation was finished. Throughout everything, Joanne was so responsive and sent us tons of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was patient and caring with Mezzi and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. She also left our apartment in perfect shape for us to come home to, which we really appreciated after such a crazy week. We are so grateful we found Joanne and would absolutely trust her with Mezzi again.

We feel so lucky to have found Morgan as a dog sitter! Our Lab is surprisingly not much of a snuggler, but she was cuddled up with Morgan from day one, which immediately put our minds at ease. Morgan was incredibly communicative, sent us lots of photos and updates, and handled our high energy (strong) Lab wonderfully. We also came home to a spotless house, including fresh, clean bedding, which was such a lovely treat after travelling. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking Morgan again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Mariel was so enthusiastic and caring, gave our dog lots of attention and love, and kept us updated throughout our time away. We especially appreciated all the photos and videos—it was so nice to see how happy and well cared for our dog was. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend Mariel and will definitely book with her again!

If I could give Alexa 10 stars I would! She was absolutely amazing and made me feel so at ease all weekend knowing my baby was in such good hands. She kept me updated with photos and went so above and beyond with cleaning - I came home to cleaner house than when I left! 1000% recommend, will definitely use her again. Thank you, Alexa!

We just moved to the area and Marianne was wonderful keeping our minds at ease while we had to go out of town without our two cats. Marianne provided daily updates with pictures, was super responsive, and even our shy cat loved her. 10/10 will be booking with her again. We’re so grateful!!

Chyna was fantastic! Took amazing care of our two pups – both are rescues, anxious, and a challenge to walk. Chyna went above and beyond, giving them extra love and extra exercise – sending lots of pics. And our place was beyond immaculate upon our return, going so far as to do change sheets & do laundry. Highly recommend her & look forward to having her care for our dogs again💕

Josh and Fi are wonderful and have watched our pets for drop-ins, long trips, walks, etc and have taken care of them through health issues and sicknesses. They are the most reliable, responsible, and communicative sitters and we are sooo thankful to have them!

Sydney was awesome!! I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that Mystic was in good hands.. Sydney sent updates with pictures and videos of Mystic having a blast which I enjoyed receiving! :) Our home was well taken care of while we were away. We came home to everything, clean, tidy and just the way we had left it. Best of all, Mystic was a happy girl and clearly well cared for. Thanks Sydney! :)

Brooke was amazing from the first time she entered my house to meet my dog Lily. Lily took a liking to her right away which is not normal for my little girl. Brooke provided feedback on to how the stay was progressing and sent pictures with updates. Brooke just seemed so natural with my animals and she was beyond professional , arriving on time , asking appropriate questions and leaving my house very clean. I will definitely be booking Brooke again!

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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan 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!

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 .

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.
