“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: Young professional in physics/tech. Former puppy foster for one month. I am looking to getting more experience with dogs before having one of my own. Big guy, so I can handle unruly ones on the leash! I’m available all day on the weekends, in the morning from 6:30 am to 7:30am, and any time after 4:45pm. Very responsible professional who will be very cautious and take good care of your baby. I live near the beach/Hermosa greenway, so lots of walking paths to take your dog on! Cannot house dogs overnight sadly, but I have experience fostering puppies and can handle all ages. Happy to help you house sit!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was five years old and I know how stressful it is to be away from our furry pals. My cat is 17 and is blind, so I have experience with senior pets who need a gentle hand. I have free time on the weekends and I’m happy to check in on your pet during your weekend or weeklong trip to make sure they’re doing well! Pets can be flighty when they are meeting a new person — especially when entering your home I’ll be sure to take care with closing doors and gates so that your furry pals stay safe inside.
“Mars took great care of our kitties while we were away. She took some time to pet and play with our friendlier cat, and even managed to spot our shy girl once or twice. Mars took plenty of photos, which we always appreciate. Most importantly, we returned from our trip to find our cats happy and healthy, and we knew they were in good hands!”
“Shay was amazing and had such great communication with me while being out of country in Colombia he provided such piece of mind that my baby was taken care of! Rocky enjoyed his time and I look forward to rebooking Shay!”
“Morgan was amazing! My very anxious dog warmed up to her right away, which never happens. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

I’m a bigger guy so I can definitely support your larger four legged friends. I like to run so if your dog needs exercise that would work out perfectly.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved having them around. My sister has 3 pups of her own and my parents have 1 currently. I've helped take care of them when needed. I also have experience dogsitting for a friend of mine who has a lovely Shiba Inu. I love taking dogs for walks or to the dog park nearby and having playtime. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and am able to provide at least 3 walks a day for daily exercise and I always give plenty of cuddles and scritches for being a good boy or girl. I can also work anywhere that has wifi so it makes house sitting a lot easier. I always try to stick to your dog’s schedule as much as possible and adhere to their normal routine for familiarity and comfort. I will take great care of your dog as if they were my own! I always make sure they are well cared for and loved.
“Alexa took great care of our senior boy Rowdy. She was super prompt and helpful and was very patient with us worrying over our pup 😜 We came home to a happy and calm boy. Thank you!!!”
About: I am a mother with a daughter who is still at home and we both loves dogs. For 6 years we had a 95 lb, extremely needy dog. Most recently we rescued a 16-yr-old dog (I joke that we were the best nursing home ever for old man Wally - who could barely hear or see for his last 2 yrs of life.) But you probably know how that ended…. So now we are pet free and miss our dogs. Therefore, we want to care for others when their loved one is out of town. It was always hard for us to leave our dogs with others so I want to make sure you feel he/she is in a good place and cared for properly. When I care for your dog you will have no worries. I will send daily pics to reassure you. I look forward to meeting your dog. I work from home 2-3 days and when I don’t I am typically home by 6 pm. Home during the weekends to provide full care. I have cared and loved special needs dogs. I am prepared to provide medication and extra Tender Loving Care for those who are extra. 😊.
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 can't wait to meet your furry friend! Quality care is super important to me so the more I know about your family member (pet) the best I can be of support. If they are a day napper who enjoys peace and quiet or an active puppers who enjoys long walks I am here. I will have complete open availability for the month of August 2026 . There is potential for additional availability in the month of September 2026. I am just a mile away from the beach , walking trail and 10 minute walk from a park. There is availability for both pet care in my home or at the client home. There is also a 24 hour emergency vet clinic just a 2 min drive away if needed (I like to be prepared)
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Manhattan Beach is $25

I love having Kendra take care of my kitty, Tiger. He's so shy and she really tries to get him to come out and play with her. She takes great care with cleaning his litter and washing out his bowl so I know his food is not contaminated. I appreciate the extra care she shows him.
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Carolyn is kind and reliable, Juan and Lupita absolutely love her, and she always goes above and beyond, taking care of the little extras without ever being asked. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn’t be more grateful. We’ll definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
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!
We’ve been having Chandrea as our cat sitter for the past 2 years and we couldn’t have been happier! She’s always prompt with replies, sends a bunch of pictures, and overall very responsible. Chadrea treats our kitty with utmost love and care when we’re away, giving us a peace of mind knowing our cat is safe and taken care of. Couldn’t recommend Chandrea more!!
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!
10/10 would recommend. She was communicative, on-tone, trustworthy and not to mention our dog instantly loved her! We have very selective who we let take care of our dog when we are not home or into our home and we had absolutely no hesitations with Sydney. Will absolutely be using her again!
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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Manhattan Beach on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 19,193 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Manhattan Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Manhattan Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 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.
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.
