“We felt comfortable knowing our pals were getting all the love and snuggles. Lindsey was very friendly and kind and we got lots of pictures. Definitely recommend and will use her 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!”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job! This is the first time I’ve had a pet sitter. My cat had a wound and a cone and no one except my mom has ever watched my dog. So, I was a little nervous. But, Elizabeth’s sweet spirit put me at ease. She sent me pictures of my cat’s wound so I could see the progress and pictures of my dog when she walked him. She also sent additional periodic pictures and gave me updates. Elizabeth was very thorough and truly cared about doing the best job possible. My house was immaculate when I came home. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond and I’m so grateful for her!”
“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!”
“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 ..”
“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!”
“Had a great experience with Brendan for our first time with Rover. He was easy to coordinate with, patient and kind with our dog, and was very communicative while watching her!”
About: I've always had a strong love for animals. Whether soft or scaly, feathered or fluffy, animals make life special and more meaningful. My love for pets started with a cat, then a hamster, more cats, dogs, and a fish here and there... Nowadays you’ll probably find me with my two orange cats and a Scooby Doo dog. In addition to drop-ins and sittings, my pet/animal care experience includes volunteering at PetSmart and the SPCA of Long Beach. It’s been a joy to care for all the many pets and animals throughout my life! I work full time Monday through Friday but am open some weeknights after 5pm. I’m also available on some weekends and holidays. My pet care routine includes feeding, walking, grooming, and playing. I love feeding and giving them treats, playing, and going for walks. I also love downtime and cuddling. I will follow your care instructions, be respectful of your home, and provide detailed updates on how your pet is doing.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a Labrador from the time I was born until I was around 10 years old, and since then I have had two other dogs, including a Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix and a Border Collie mix. Because of this, I have experience with different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, from large dogs that need strong handling to active dogs that need plenty of attention and playtime. I have also dog sat for family and friends before, so I understand how important it is to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I will always check in frequently with updates, make sure your dog is fed on schedule, take time to play with them, and give them the attention they need. My schedule is very flexible. I am home for the summer from UCSD and currently shadowing a doctor, but I am able to work my schedule around what is best for dog or cat sitting. I am available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can usually make most times work. I will always communicate clearly if I have something planned on a certain day, and I will make sure we figure out a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I will make sure they are cared for, supervised, and given plenty of attention while you are away. I am comfortable playing with pets, throwing tennis balls or toys, taking dogs on walks, letting them outside, and watching them closely while they are out. I will always follow your instructions for feeding, routines, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal schedule, so I will make sure they are fed on time and cared for in a safe, responsible, and loving environment.
About: 🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕🦺🐩🐕🐕🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. Right now I'm on summer break so I'm available almost all the time! 🫶🏻 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.
“Our first time with Emily staying in our home and taking care of our pets. She is very respectful of our space, took wonderful care of our pets, and was very communicative. Our pets adore her! ❤️”
“Andrea is the absolute best! I knew it was a great sign when my vocal dog didn’t bark at her once and my shy dog hopped right up on the couch for a pet. Andrea’s relaxed and confident energy was a perfect fit for my pups (and for me, honestly). On top of that, it was so nice to arrive back to a tidied up home after an hectic trip. Andrea exceeded our expectations and we’ll absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“Jason is the best! My dogs love him. He is here when we need him. We check in with each other. He lets us know if anything comes up. Highly recommend him. Will definitely use him again.”
“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 :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seal Beach
Bridget is always reliable and communicative. My new kitty warmed up to her as soon as she came! My furbabies always love having her around. Bridget always leaves the house clean and follows all instructions to a tee. It’s so nice to feel comfortable and at ease when I travel.
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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
