“Alejandra was wonderful during her overnight stay in our home with our dog. She is professional, trustworthy, and compassionate, and her excellent communication gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive to our dog’s needs, and we felt completely comfortable trusting her with our dog and our home. We highly recommend Alejandra and will be happily booking her again soon.”
“When you find someone that calms your nervous system when it comes to taking care of your pet, that you love dearly, that’s a really good feeling. Syd has given me that from the start. Competence is comforting. So happy she’s been able to step in and take care of my dog, Piggie. She’s been great keeping me advised of things going around my house, I have projects happening while I’m gone at work, and sending me a bunch of pictures of Piggie as well. So if that’s what you’re needing, it is a excellent choice”
“I’d give them 10 stars if I could! So many updates, so many pets, and they followed all instructions. Elsa is a pretty shy dog yet she was excited to get some last minute pets from Dan when he dropped off the keys and he got her to walk past the front door for potty breaks/walks. Those are huge wins for my pup.”
“Mary did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. She is an excellent communicator, follows all instructions and gave our babies so much love! Will be booking her again :)”

“Giovanny was awesome! He was kind, respectful and communicative. He was great with our pup. He followed our instructions and our pup loved him. We were even running late to get back home on time and Gio stayed until we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth is a reliable and great Dogsitter. Took great care of my Dog Kira once again for an overnight. Followed instructions, communicated, and most importantly took excellent care of my dog. Thank you!”
“Katie went above and beyond to make sure our pets were taken care of properly. She did a quick visit to meet the pups and get a lay of the house in advance of the housesit. Katie sent updates throughout the stay, which made us feel like we were in good hands!”
“So thankful for Lizeth! She came over to help me with my girl super last minute and was just so wonderful. Lizeth was so good with my baby, extremely kind and caring. I will definitely be booking with Lizeth again and you should absolutely consider her to take care of your babies 💕”
“Casey was absolutely incredible with my (almost) 16 year old Lhasa Apso. This was my first time using Rover or having anyone other than family and close friends watch my dog and I felt uneasy and uncertain hiring someone I didn't know to stay in my home and take care of my dog, especially now that she's a senior. Admittedly, I've been reluctant to take trips as my dog is aging and has more needs now. Casey made me feel very at peace with updates throughout my business trip including photos and messages. This allowed me to feel more comfortable being fully present with my trip. I will definitely use Casey every time I travel as long as she's available and now feel completely comfortable traveling again, for the first time in a few years.”
“Incredible young lady! My Lemmy immediately took to her, and she made our vacation out of town much easier knowing our dogson was in great hands and having fun. Eleni was prompt, responsive, and very thoughtful! Her communication skills left us feeling confident in leaving our nervous boy, with his medications and his very picky habits, in safe hands. Lemmy and I look forward to booking with Eleni again!”
“Very sweet and conscientious care for my sometimes ornery shepherd. She managed my pup perfectly on the two walks she took and I found her sincere and charming. I would definitely recommend Danielle and plan to ask her to care for my pup again.”
“Chrissy watches my cat while on vacation and put me at ease. She followed all instructions and my cat responded well to her. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her in the future.”
“Kat was very attentive and super sweet with my pup, giving him lots of extra attention to ease his anxiety with fireworks over the holiday weekend. I felt much better knowing he had a friend to hang out with while we were gone. She was great at giving him meds and sending updates and pictures. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
“I have been searching for a new pet sitter, which has gotten harder (for me) now that my pal, Wallee, a 15-year old poodle mix, needs a lot more care due to his failing health. Lucia was very understanding, communicative, and responsive to my million questions about whether she was "up for the job" of taking care of my very high-maintenance pooch. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Thanks again Lucia!”

Haley did a wonderful job staying with our little stranger-averse terrier for a week while we traveled internationally! She sent tons of photos, kept us up to date, and communicated well. She also left our home in pristine condition when she left--bedding washed and dishwasher run. 10/10!
Jacquelyn was great with our 8 years old dog, Kixy. She was caring and cuddled with Kixy to reduced her anxiety while we were away on our trip. She also took good care of our home and communicated regularly with us. We very much appreciated Jacquelyn and her time and love for our pup!
Ebony was absolutely wonderful! She sent us so many pictures and gave us so much relief while we were away for the weekend! Blue can be realllllly high energy and it always makes me self conscious that he’ll be a little too much for people but Ebony absolutely loved him (and Sans) just like I would and just made me feel so much relief that they were both okay. She made sure the house was taken care of too which wasn’t something I was expecting but appreciated so much! AND she made banana bread, which after days of hotel food, I absolutely devoured. Absolutely will be booking again anytime we leave for a trip! 1000000/10 recommend for your pups!
Miranda was professional, friendly and responsive from the first interaction. I had a difficult situation with two fairly new rescue dogs that sometimes get into doggy tiffs and she handled it with confidence and ease. She kept us updated regularly while we were gone and let me know if there were any issues. When I got anrrived home from our 12 day trip, our house was very neat and tidy. I would highly recommend Miranda to anyone who needs a pet sitter!
Erin did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Milo! She told me she has cats of her own so it felt good leaving him with someone who has the experience I was looking for. I had quite a bit of instructions for my cat while I was away, and she did a great job following through with everything I asked. Very attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of. She always sent me photos, giving me updates, and was great with communication! Very thankful for her help!
Bridget is not only highly recommended by me, but by my dog & cat too! This was the first time in a long time being away from my pets and Bridget put my mind at ease the minute we met for the meet & greet. She updated and sent pics twice a day. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you Bridget!
We absolutely loved Ashley. Very kind, and obviously cares about our dogs. She kept 3 dogs at our daughter's house, having to endure a couple of last minute location details because of weather and changing plans. She handled everything with courtesy and professionalism. Highly recommend and will request her again!
Holly was great!! My cat requires twice daily medication and right before my trip decided that he wasn’t going to eat it in a treat anymore…If you’re ever had to medicate a cat that doesn’t want medication, you know it’s no easy task! Holly was amazing with troubleshooting and trying to make it a positive experience for him. She left our house even better than we left it. I would highly recommend!
Amanda kept me updated on Kelly’s daily routine, including her walks, feeding schedule, and relaxation time. She also sent photos of Kelly throughout her stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that Kelly was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Seal Beach is $70 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $104 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 13,685 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Seal 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 Seal 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 Seal 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 Seal 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
