“Lillian watched our dog, Cleo, for 4 days while we were out of town. She went above and beyond while taking care of our girl! I could tell she really took the time to get to know our dog and made sure that all of her needs were met. Not only were her needs met but Lillian took the time to play extra with Cleo, took her for long walks, and gave her lots of love. Lillian gave me very thorough updates every morning and evening updating me on how things were going and what they did that day. She attached tons of pictures which were so fun to see! It looked like Cleo was having a blast with her new friend. Cleo is also a bit of a handful and I thought Lillian handled her perfectly. She followed all of the rules we had laid out for Cleo and was very respectful. Lillian stayed at our house while we were away and when we got back I swear the house was nicer than when we left it!! Overall, we absolutely love Lilian and trust her to watch Cleo at anytime. She really gave us peace of mind!”
“Kevin did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and cat for a week. He communicated consistently and left the house very clean. It meant so much to know our home and pets were in good hands while we were away!”
“Gabby was sweet and very professional. She communicated with me regularly and sent me updates when I was away. She was also a perfect house guest. I would definitely love to work with her again.”
“Julie was very communicative with me while she stayed at our house to take care of our rescue. She not only gave daily text updates, but pictures too. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and needs. My experience includes cats, puppies, large and extra large dog breeds, crate training, senior pets, administering medication, and supporting dogs through serious health challenges, including cancer. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and receiving attentive care while you’re away. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. I own my own home in the CA and understand the importance of having someone trustworthy care for both your pets and your property. I will treat your home with the same respect and attention that I give my own. Whether your pets need active playtime, medication management, extra patience, or simply a loving presence, I’m committed to providing reliable care and giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve used Rover many times for my own past pets and have always had a great experience with sitters. As a business owner in LA, I work remotely and have a flexible daily schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks and care throughout the day. Pet sitting fits naturally into my life and gives me the joy of having animals around while I am not yet ready to adopt again. I own my home so I understand how important it is to care for your pets in your home. I always requested sitters to stay in my home with my pets as I understand how important is it for them to feel safe and comfortable while your away.
“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!!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Sid was punctual, reliable, and our dog Sushi was super happy and comfortable with him. Sid often sent us pictures with updates. Sid is friendly and super organized, we have already booked another weekend for our Sushi and Sid :)”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my dog, Cowboy! She took such great care of him and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me total peace of mind. Cowboy can be a little shy at first, but he warmed up to her right away — it was clear she really loves and understands dogs. I’ll definitely be using Shannon again moving forward. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter!”
“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!”
About: I grew up with pets and currently have a golden retriever named Titan. I have experience with crate-training if needed yet allow pets on the furniture. I administer medicines if required and have worked with epileptic dogs as well. Your pet will be in great hands with me. About me….. I’m a first grade teacher with two grown, adult boys. Now that my boys are older, I have time to take care of your precious ones. I will work with you to meet the needs of your pet. If your pet needs 4 walks, great! If your pet needs more, I’ll do it! Pets need exercise and bathroom breaks and I will cater to you and your pet. I love dogs and cats and will give them lots of love and attention. My home is two blocks from the beach and I’ll take your dog on long, beautiful walks along the strand. I have a dog park nearby as well. I’ll adjust my day to meet your pets needs.
“Marianna was such a great sitter! She took care of my house, leaving it more put together than before I left. She took out my trash, figured out the high tech litter situation, sent me cute pictures and even left me with a little card and Polaroids of my kitties. My cats were so mellow and happy when I came home. Seeing pictures of them piled on top of her left me feeling so secure that they were comfortable. I would highly recommend Marianna.”
“Reina was absolutely wonderful once again! She took great care of our dog and two cats during one of the worst rainstorms in LA, and ensured they felt safe all weekend. She’s great!”
“Eva was awesome with our 3 dogs! She handled them all very well, even the one with anxiety. She even let our pug snuggle (and snore) and our golden lay on top of her on the bed! Highly recommend!”
“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 had a dog since I was 5 years old (first border collie then Australian shepherd) and have been dogsitting for the past 5 years. I work from home so I can be with the pet all day! I have activities on the weekends, but usually not for that long. I offer pet sitting in a clients home. I work from home so I can be there all day. My schedule is pretty flexible and open!
“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!”

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 couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Jasmine! She watched our dog and our home for a full six days, and she was absolute perfection. From day one, she was so gentle and wonderful with our 3 yr old corgi, he loved her right away. Jasmine is incredibly thorough, sending detailed updates with photos at every single mealtime and walk, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we came back, not only was our dog happy and well cared for, but our house was left in pristine condition. She is super responsible, and we would trust her to watch and walk our dog anytime. In fact, she was so fantastic that we've already had neighbors asking for her referral! She is local to the Redondo Beach area, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch, reliable pet care. Her photos skills are also great. I posted many pictures she sent of our dog Theo to his Instagram and his fans love them!
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! :)
Lynzie was great. She kept us updated with cute photos and kept the house in great shape. She was also very responsive and responsible. She offered to go the extra mile with respect to things around the house. It was very helpful. We were gone for a while and she made everyting much easier. We would definitely use her again.
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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 14,003 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.

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.
