“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!”

“Mars is someone you can really rely on and trust to take care of your pets! Mars exceeds expectations on following care instructions and you can count on always getting amazing pictures of your babes. Mars is always first in mind when I’m in need of a pet sitter!”

“Dari is kind, punctual, and overall amazing! Our puppy Sonny has been so much happier with Dari coming to visit. She sends a ton of photos, updates, and is a great communicator :) we love Dari!”

About: Hi, I’m Lillian. I’m originally from Chicago and I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a dog or two or three in our home. I started helping care for my sister’s 3 dogs when I was younger and later on my parent’s dog when they would travel. I’ve also helped care for many of my friends pets when they are out of town. I decided to join Rover in 2023 to extend my pet sitting services beyond family and friends and since then I have enjoyed caring for so many dogs in the Windy City. I absolutely love what I do and I always strive to provide the absolute best care to pup while you’re away so you don’t have to stress! 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 to facilitate familiarity and comfort which makes for a stress-free pup! 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.
About: For over six years, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels—whether it’s one loyal companion or a lively crew. I treat every pup with care, making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Reliable, patient, and always ready for a walk (or many pets)! For fish - I’ve had a tank through my whole life (freshwater) and recently have had saltwater, taking a close eye on their needs and tank maintenance. 🐾🐠🐟 I currently work full-time on weekdays, but I’m available for morning and evening check-ins during the week. My weekends are fully open, so I’m happy to help however I can then! While I care for a saltwater tank full of marine life at home, I always make sure to dedicate plenty of focused time to meet—and go beyond—the needs of your furry companions. Every pet deserves attention, affection, and a little extra love while you’re away, and that’s exactly what I provide.
“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!”


“Excellent experience with Gabrielle. She's so sweet and made the dogs very comfortable right off the bat. Definitely appreciate her going above & beyond what was expected.”

About: Hello! I’ve been pet sitting for many years after we lost our family pug. I grew up with both dogs and cats. I have volunteered at shelters and fostered dogs in the past. I'm very active and like to walk, run and hike. I have experience with senior pets with medication needs from our own pets and the fosters. I’ll spoil and love on your fur babies as much as I can. In my free time I play vollryball, practice yoga and paddle board. I’m working remote so would be at your house during most of the day. I usually go to yoga or play volleyball during the day. I will take great care of your animals in your home. Please provide detailed instructions on their needs to make them feel comfortable while you are away.
“Gabriella was great with my kitten Millie! She was professional, followed all instructions, and took extra time to make sure Millie got plenty of love and attention while I was away at work. Highly recommend and will rebook!”

About: I adopted my first dog (as an adult) 22 years ago and can’t imagine life without one. My dog has helped me through so much just by being at my side, and that was something I didn’t quite understanding while growing up with the family dogs, as much as I loved them. GOOD TO KNOW FOR NEW CLIENTS: While I’m happy to jump in and help on short notice, when available, I do require a meet and greet in a neutral location. For overnights, I have a dog at home. While she is good with most dogs, there is always a chance our dogs do not mesh. I require a meet and greet including my dog in a neutral location. I grew up with large Collies and Irish Setters, so medium to large dogs have always been a part of my life. As an adult, I’ve adopted and trained two puppies and seen one through cancer treatment. My experience covers: puppies, training, sick dogs, reactive dogs, overly energetic dogs, elderly dogs and lazy dogs. There’s very little I haven’t had direct experience handling, for better or worse. While I don’t claim to be an expert, little about a dog’s behavior or issues worries or shocks me at this point. I’m currently working part-time and looking to fill my spare time with more physical activity. What better way to accomplish that than to play with and walk dogs! I’m available mornings from 7am to 10am, evenings from 6p-9p and all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I treat your pet as I treat mine, with love and patience. If you have a routine your pup is accustomed to, I’m happy to step in and help keep that consistent.
About: Born animal lover, first pets were my mothers 3ft iguana and a small bunny. Grew to love the ocean as a lifeguard and all the sea creatures in it. Spent my summers in Montana riding horses! Special experience with turtles, bunnies, cats, dogs, horses, elderly dogs/cats as well as puppy training! Former tech worker, I am retired now and drop in to teach some fitness clients here and there but mainly home all the time to care M-Sun. We live a block from the beach and a park so plenty of places to go with my furry buds. ***Please note, we live in a duplex and have turned our downstairs studio space into a dedicated 1B boarding special for animals. Usually we use this space for play & sleep time. Our guests also roam upstairs with my family, including my 5 year old who loves animals. We have a small backyard as well and live one block from the strand and one block from valley park so dogs especially get extra walks at our house!
“Matt was amazing! He took great care of Chloe after we reached out with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He was quick to respond, reliable, and made the whole process so easy. We loved receiving picture updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Chloe was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for his help and will definitely be using Matt again for any future dog sitting or drop-in services. Highly recommend!”

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.
About: I’ve spent years helping dogs become their best selves — and more importantly, helping owners build deeper, healthier relationships with them. I trained under The Bark Stop, possibly the best dog training school in the U.S., based in Florida. It’s an award-winning program focused on force-free, fear-free methods, and I’m proud to call myself a dedicated student of that philosophy. People often ask if I’m a professional trainer just from seeing how well-behaved my two dogs are — Dogson, a 7-year-old Maltipoo, and Bocky, his 9-year-old older brother. I’ve helped train dogs of all sizes and personalities for friends and family, and I bring calm, confidence, and compassion to every interaction. I’m also certified in Cat and Dog First Aid by the American Red Cross, which means in the event of an emergency, your pet will be in trained and capable hands. I’m an intermediate groomer as well — I do our dogs’ cuts, nail trims, and even gland expression when needed. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, and I will be the only person providing care. I work remotely in tech as a full-stack product builder, which gives me the freedom to plan my day around your dog’s routine. I’m up early (usually by 6:30 AM), and as long as there’s solid Wi-Fi, I can work from anywhere. That means I’m available for walks, check-ins, meals, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. My wife is based out of San Francisco for work and is not involved in my Rover services. All pet care will be handled by me, personally. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to provide updates so you always feel connected while you’re away. I’m a full-time van-lifer currently based out of a Mercedes Sprinter camper van. Because of that, I only offer house-sitting — not boarding. I never stay inside your home unless you specifically request it. I prefer to stay in my van, which I park right in your driveway or nearby in the neighborhood, and I check in throughout the day to care for your pup in the comfort of their own space. This setup has worked beautifully during sits for friends and family across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico — especially for weekend getaways and short trips. I also love sending photo and video updates as often as you’d like. One of my favorite things is capturing those joyful reunion moments when you return home. It’s a privilege to be part of that. And just to clarify: all care will be provided by me alone. If my wife ever joins the platform in the future, she will have her own separate profile.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Manhattan Beach is $25

Sofia rocks! This is our second time having Sofia watch our kitties. She totally helped us out with a last minute care need and she even helped reset our router during the trip when we have wifi troubles and stayed through meal time to make sure the feeders were back up. Thank you again!!

Yiyu did an amazing job taking care of our boys while we were on vacation! She was always on time, very communicative, and brought such a warm, friendly energy when visiting our cats. One of our boys is particularly shy and even warmed up to her, which was amazing to see! Yiyu was wonderful overall and gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well taken care of while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Yiyu!

Rebecca is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. I get nervous leaving my cat but Rebecca sent thorough updates every day, lots of pictures and videos, and my cat looked SO happy and entertained hanging out with her. I didn’t worry at all on this trip, which meant so much to me. Rebecca goes above and beyond with everything and is a lovely caring person. I hope to book with her again!

Sydney was great! She showed up on time, sent pictures of Mystic during her check in, took her on a walk and even played fetch with her. :) Mystic had a blast! We were so grateful that Sydney was able to help us out and are looking forward to hiring Sydney again in the future! :)

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manhattan Beach. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
