“Lindsey is wonderful! She has such great energy and gave our Luna all the exercise and attention she needed. She sent us tons of pictures of their daily walks and adventures! Thank you Lindsey for taking such great care of our babies.”
“Michael took great care of my dog Mochi and my house. He's friendly and very easy to talk with about dog things and beyond. He graciously accepted my last minute request to house sit, and followed my detailed instructions for Mochi's routine. I'll definitely ask him to house sit for Mochi again.”
“Zeni was great! She took excellent care of Penny while we were out of town. She sent lots of photos and provided daily updates on how everything was going. We will certainly use her again if she is available :)”
“Truly couldn’t recommend Erin enough. She was punctual, flexible, and extremely reliable. We hired her for a very busy weekend in our lives and she was self-sufficient, communicative when needed, and most importantly, our dog seemed happy and healthy when we returned home. We are so grateful for her service and look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Lena took great care of our pup and home. She’s thoughtful, communicative, and responsible. She went above and beyond to share updates and make sure our pup wasn’t bored while we were away.”
“Bridget was perfect and made us feel so comfortable, knowing our Great Dane was in such caring and attentive hands while we were away. She followed our instructions to a T, was punctual, and very responsive. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
About: I've done it all — puppy chaos, senior snuggles, and everything in between. With 20+ years of hands-on experience and dogs I've raised myself, I know what your pet needs. I work a flexible full-time schedule from my home where I can care for your pet and take breaks to walk and play with them. If your pet is more comfortable in their own home, I am available to sit them there as my daytime job is remote. I am tidy and leave every space the same (if not better) than when I entered. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority. Having grown up in a home where dogs of all sizes were cherished family members, I understand how to read a pet's needs and create a calm, secure environment. I've personally raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I'm experienced in adapting care routines to each stage of life. In my home, pets are never an afterthought — they're treated with the same patience, attention, and love I'd want for my own family members (human or otherwise). 🧡
“Kristina was amazing! One of the best sitters I've dealt with on Rover. She was so communicative and caring, she is fantastic with the pups and they were happy and healthy upon our return. Absolutely loved working with her!”
“From the first time my dog and I met Cassandra, I knew he’d be in good hands immediately and she proved that today. She house sat for me and took care of Riley and when she arrived, was very attentive to the care he required and that made me feel at ease entrusting him to her while I was away. She will definitely be my go to sitter moving forward and should be yours too!!”
“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”
“Haley did a great job house sitting for me whilst I was on vacation and looked after our mini Aussie Shepherd. She communicated clearly and sent pictures of our dog having fun. She left the house neat and tidy too. Thanks Haley.”
“This was our first time using Emily and our two dogs loved her from the start. They seemed very happy to have her and Emily sent pictures and kept me updated. I’ll be using Emily again!!”
“It was the first time we left our puppy and we were so nervous. Brendan was incredibly communicative and sent us so many pictures & videos over the 3 days that made us feel at ease. It also looked like our puppy was having the time of her life with him! Can't recommend him enough!”
“Kate spent a week taking care of our dog, Oliver, while my husband and I were on vacation. We came home to find a happy, healthy puggle. Kate was great about sending us updates. We will definitely use Kate's services again in the future!”
“Cloe saved my trip when my original sitter plans backed out days before. She’s super quick to respond and I felt really confident in her care for Odin in my home while I was away. My mind was at ease.”
“First time using Rover, and Shelli was great with our pup! She came over and met her a couple days prior, and we felt very comfortable leaving her in trustworthy hands. She played, walked, cuddled with her and kept us updated! Made it all feel very easy which was much appreciated!”
“Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of our two dogs while we were out of the country for two weeks. It was a great comfort to know the pups were enjoying their routine with someone who was giving them love and special attention. Rachel was very responsive to my queries, and sent updates that all was going well. We returned home to happy and content doggies, as well as the house in perfect order.”
“Melia is the most incredible dog and house sitter I have ever worked with. Our dog is extremely difficult and terrified of people. Melia’s manner was so gentle that our dog took to her immediately. She clearly has true empathy for animals and deep understanding of how to care for them. I won’t go into the story here, but she essentially saved our dog’s life while we were out of town. My gratitude for Melia is boundless after this incident. Additionally, the house was spotless when we arrived home. Melia truly goes above and beyond all expectautons!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seal Beach
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.
Lindsey was wonderful! She was so patient, caring, and loving with our girl. As pet owners, it can be nerve-racking to trust someone new with both your home and your pet, but Lindsey went above and beyond to put us at ease. Her communication, kindness, and genuine care made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
Charlie and I are so lucky and glad we found Bridget. She is knowledgeable and pleasant with Charlie. She kept me updated with videos and pictures. I could finally relax on a vacation without worrying ! The house was kept perfect. I absolutely plan on using Bridget again !
I am truly thankful to Sophia for sitting BlueLu. My girl can be a lot, but Sophia made me feel comfortable that she could handle her. Sophia was extremely flexible when I had to adjust my scheduled needs, and very communicative before the job as well as during. Hopefully she will be available for us in the future. I highly recommend booking Sophia to care for your pet needs!
Jennifer was a fantastic house and pet sitter. She stayed with our home and three dogs for a full week, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Her communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. We returned to a house that was clean, tidy, and clearly well cared for. Most importantly, our three dogs absolutely loved her. We would definitely book Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.
We left our dog with Danna for 10 days and couldn't have been happier. A few things that stood out: Communication: She sent regular photo and video updates without us having to ask, and was always quick to respond when we reached out. Proactive and thorough: She asked good questions upfront and kept us informed about things she noticed, even small stuff she could have easily handled without mentioning. That level of transparency made us feel like we were never out of the loop. She even brought in our mail and took out the trash on the correct day without us asking. Flexibility: She adapted easily to our instructions and schedule changes, never making it feel like an inconvenience. Comfort with our dog: Our dog took to her immediately. Always a good sign that someone knows how to put animals at ease. Overall she was great and everything was exactly as we left it when we returned. We'll absolutely book with her again and recommend her without hesitation.

FAQs for House Sitting - Seal Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Seal Beach on Rover is $55.5 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 13,896 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 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 Seal Beach. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
