“Liana did such a great job being a sitter for my dog! Her calm demeanor and warmth made my dog comfortable with her instantly and feel safe with her in his space. She did a great job asking me questions and making sure she was informed on how best to care for my dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”


“Andrea is a great dog and house sitter. The dogs are well cared for and she left the house as if she was never even here! She is a great communicator and provides updates regularly. So happy to have found her!”

“Sam was great with Odin! He has separation anxiety and can be difficult on leash with other dogs. She did great with him and continued the training we've been doing. Will book her again!”

“Sid stayed with our pups for the first time and we couldn’t be happier with the care they received. Sid was great at keeping in touch and provided ongoing updates and pictures. I would definitely have him sit for us again in the future.”


“This was our first time using Rover and we’ll definitely use it and Mindy again! Our fur babies were in the best most capable hands. They were not stressed out from us being gone at all! Thank you Mindy!!!”

About: I have over 3 years of experience walking dogs of many different sizes and breeds, providing clear communication with clients and punctual and reliable care. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time in my schedule to walk and sit your dog! My schedule is open to taking good care of your pup! I live in a very safe and gated home that your pup will feel welcome at! I will keep a firm and secure leash always!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have cared for many different pets including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. Animals have always been an important part of my life, so I’m very comfortable understanding their personalities and needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they’re away, whether that means feeding them, walking them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company. I always try to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are gone. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m able to plan visits around my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding visits, and playtime during the week and weekends. I always prioritize making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to spend time with dogs in their home where they feel most comfortable, or bring them along with me so they have company and aren’t left alone. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime throughout the day.
“Chyna is an excellent dog sitter. She watched my Frenchie for a week and he has a very particular set of instruction due to some health issues that Chyna followed to a tee. I highly recommend her. Thank you!!”

“Brittney was great! She even came by a couple times beforehand to meet Luna. She was very sweet and friendly and knowing that our dog quickly warmed up to her says a lot! She was great with getting her out of the house on walks and spent quality time with her. We would definitely work with Brittney again!”

“What a find!! Julie is amazing. I was in a pinch and found her and am so incredibly grateful. She adored my pup and ensured that she had everything understood so that he could have his normal routine in my absence. She kept me informed and clarified if she wasn’t sure. I came back and Finn clearly had a fantastic few days. (But don’t use her too much…I want her to be available😂)”

“Eva was so loving to our dog while we were away. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about our pup. She was very responsible, reliable, and communicative. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Reina was great with all of our animals. She is knowledgeable and attentive, and made sure we got lots of pictures and updates when we were away. She stayed at our place and was tidy and left our guest bedroom spotless. Would definitely hire again.”

“Sydney was absolutely incredible. She watched our dog, Cody, over Thanksgiving and we felt completely at ease with her staying in our home. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely knows what she’s doing with dogs. Her dog Riley stayed with Cody and the two of them became best friends—walking together, playing together, even napping side by side. Sydney handled their introduction perfectly and brought a doggie gate to make sure they were safely separated at first. Everything she did was thoughtful and professional. Cody is a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix and Riley is a Golden Retriever, and they got along beautifully thanks to Sydney’s calm, experienced approach. We’re so grateful for her care and will 100% use her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend Sydney!”

“Lauren was great staying with our puppy! She was very communicative throughout the entire booking process and even offered to come a day early to meet our puppy, which was a great gesture.”

“Amanda was awesome! She is very caring, trustworthy and professional. She stayed at our house 3 days and sent us pictures and updates of our dog everyday. Our dog is very attached to us but Amanda made him feel safe and loved. He was very happy when we came home. She came over and met our dog before we left and we went over everything to take care of him. We were so happy with her. I highly recommend her… she was the best!!!”

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.
“You know those videos where a dog sees its owner for the first time in 3 years and takes off with no cares about anything else besides licking their owner’s face and wagging their whole butt in happiness? That’s what it was like when my pup first met Kristin. He was all over her during the meet and greet. Unfortunately, she was watching him because I had him fixed the day after she met him. But when she watched him she still managed to keep him entertained while also not letting him run around and pop his stitches. She did a good job, my pup loves her, and I would definitely have her watch him again”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Manhattan Beach is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manhattan Beach
This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with Mindy. She was incredibly communicative throughout her stay at our home and kept us updated the entire time. Our dog absolutely loved her, and it was such a comfort to receive so many pictures while we were away. Seeing those updates made missing our dog a little easier. Mindy took wonderful care of both our home and our dog, and we felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such good hands. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and all around amazing pet sitter.

Sam was amazing! She took such great care of Prince and Teddy and kept us updated throughout the stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you!! 🐶💕

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.

I can't say enough great things about Josephine! I was nervous to leave my fur baby for 2 weeks, but Josephine helped us both feel at ease when I was away. I received daily detailed updates and photos, and my dog seemed to feel safe and relaxed in her care. I am so glad I found her!

Lara swooped in last minute to take care of our duo - a high energy Aussie and a Chihuahua — which together are a lot of doggie love. She was communicative and even replaced a Frisbee when one went over the fence (we said it was OK to leave it!) Would highly recommend.

Took great care of our dog . Provided us with updates with photos throughout the day . Was easy to contact and answered all questions . Made our first trip away from a new puppy smooth and seamless . Stayed at our house over a weekend . Would use her again for our little guy !

Sophie is the best! She is very responsive, sends us updates, and a very nice person! Our dog Theo loves her and she cared for him so well. I was nervous booking a sitter because it’s our first time to ever leave our puppy for a long time and she definitely made us feel at ease that she is a reliable and nice person. We will definitely book her again. I highly recommend her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FAQs for House Sitting - Manhattan Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manhattan Beach on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 14,159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Manhattan Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manhattan Beach. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
