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!

About: Lifelong Animal Lover & Experienced Caregiver. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, raising everything from birds and turtles to cats and dogs. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to two gorgeous cats (ages 8 and 4) who mean the world to me. For the past several years, I have channeled my passion into professional pet sitting, hands-on shelter volunteering, and fostering—including raising a lively 4-month-old Doberman puppy. I have a massive heart for all animals and promise to treat your pets with the exact same deep love, safety, and dedicated care that I give my own. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine Right now, I have the luxury of a completely open schedule! Since I’m currently between jobs, my days revolve entirely around pet care. Whether your cat or dog needs a mid-day play session, early morning feedings, or late-night cuddles, I can easily fit into their established routine. This flexibility also means I’m highly responsive and available for short-notice requests or extended daytime stays. Safety & Peace of Mind Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Thanks to my background volunteering in animal shelters and fostering, I am highly attuned to animal behavior and body language. I know how to spot stress early and ensure a calm, secure environment. My own home is entirely cat-proofed, smoke-free, and tailored to the comfort of my two resident cats. Whether in your home or mine, I am meticulous about keeping doors secure, maintaining strict hygiene (especially with litter boxes), and following your exact safety instructions. You will receive detailed updates and photos after every visit so you never have to worry.

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 ..

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.

About: I grew up with a mini dachshund and currently have a pug. I pet sit all the time for friends and family, including my sister who has a dog, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, fish, and the list keeps going. I've pet sat both at my apartment and house sat in a pet's home. At my apartment, I've dog sat for up to a month! My little pug loves having a new buddy around to play, go on walks, and snuggle with. My pug is my life. I work from home and she's always by my side, following me everywhere. Every morning we go for a walk around the Naples canals in Long Beach after she has her breakfast. During the day, she mostly snuggles on my lap or entertains herself if we don't have another buddy visiting us. We take breaks to get fresh air and take potty breaks at the beach. In the afternoon, we'll usually go on a shorter walk before or after dinner. I try to take her with me anywhere I go, even if it's just a short errand where she can enjoy a car ride. On the occasions I can't take her with me, she has full reign of the apartment, but I think she spends most of her time snuggled on the couch with soft blankets and pillow. When I need to be away from her for longer than usual, I usually coordinate to have her visit one of her nearby buddies or stay with my mom & sister where she gets to play with little my niece and nephew, their dog, and enjoy being around lots of other free roaming animals (chickens, bunnies, cats) If I'm at a client's home, I ensure I'm informed about all the places the pet(s) like to go, where their favorite toys are, and where their food & medicine is. If I'm pet sitting for an extended period of time, or more than just a daily check-in, my pug will be with me. She loves being around big dogs or small dogs, is very submissive, loves to play, but is also ok giving space if the other pet is not interested. If a backyard is available, I love to be outdoors and get the dogs some exercise by playing ball or tag. If an enclosed area isn't available, your dog will always be leashed. On walks, I'm conscientious about our surroundings. I pay attention to any rogue "snacks" in our path and other dogs approaching. I always ask another dog owner if their dog is friendly and if mine can say hi. If they're not, it's no problem! We'll continue on and cross the street if need be. My walks with my pug tend to be longer in time and fairly slow moving, making lots of stops to sniff. Sniffing is an important activity for any dog, and expends a lot of energy, so I stop as long as my dog wants to sniff at certain spot so she can get her fill. I'll treat your dog with the same respect and care as I provide my own.

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, and fish since I was 4 years old. I have been house/pet sitting for neighbors and family members for 20+ years and I’ve loved every minute of it! I’m ready to give your pet the love they deserve. I work full time and go to school during the weeknights, but I work from home on Fridays, so I am available Thursday night- early Monday mornings. Whenever I am taking care of your pet, your pet will be my 100% priority. I will follow your directions on how to care best for your pet(s) and your home. I also will remain in contact with you (as much or as little as you would like) to keep you updated on your pet.

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!

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16 for friends, family, and online clients, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m responsible, respectful, and very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality. I know trusting someone with your pet — and sometimes your home — is a big deal, so I always make communication and reliability a priority. I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they love walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m a college student with a pretty flexible schedule, and I have my own car, so getting back and forth for pet care is never an issue. I’m always willing to make the trip to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, feeding, and care they need. I also work part-time, but my shifts are typically only 3–4 hours, so I’m never away for long periods of time. I’m great at planning around my classes and work schedule and making pet care a priority! Safety, Trust & Environment I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality! When I’m in a client’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates and photos, and make sure you feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well taken care of!

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: Every pet is different, and I believe their care should be too. My husband, Dan, and I have both grown up with animals and have personally owned and cared for many different types of pets throughout our lives. We've also done some dog sitting and currently have a rescue dog of our own. Helping him learn to trust and feel safe has given us an even greater appreciation for patience and meeting each animal where they are. When your pet is with us, we want them to feel comfortable, safe, and at home—like they're part of the family. Whether they love lots of attention and cuddles, need plenty of play and activity, or prefer a little more space and time to warm up, we'll tailor our care to their personality, routine, and individual needs. We genuinely love animals and will give your pets the same patience, attention, and care we'd want for our own. We want you to be able to enjoy your time away without worrying about your fur babies, knowing they're safe, happy, and well cared for. My husband and I both have hybrid work schedules, so we work as a team when it comes to pet care. Between the two of us, one of us is typically working from home, which gives us a lot of flexibility for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. We both love animals and enjoy being outdoors, so we're always happy for an excuse to step away from the computer for a walk or some time with the pets. Having an animal nearby while we're working is pretty nice too! We genuinely enjoy their company, whether we're outside getting some fresh air, playing, or just hanging out together at home. We truly care about making your pet feel comfortable while you're away, and a big part of that is keeping things as familiar as possible. We'll listen closely to what you share about their usual routine, personality, likes and dislikes, and how you normally care for them, and we'll do our best to continue that routine while they're with us. Whether that's their usual walk schedule, feeding times, favorite activities, where they like to sleep, or the little things that help them feel at home, we want to know! We also value honest, open communication, so you can feel comfortable sharing what's important to you and your pet.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Seal Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Seal Beach on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,771 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.
