“Erin was wonderful and I’d love to have her back. My cat has had a lot of health issues going on recently and I was very nervous going out of town but felt so much better knowing that he’d be in safe hands! She was a great communicator, very reliable, and my cat was kept healthy and happy. Thanks so much Erin!”

“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!”

“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”

“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 ..”

“2nd time using Cassandra and my Riley LOVES her. I didn’t have to worry for one second. She even took him to his favorite park!! Thank you for allowing me to have peace of mind while I was away!”


“Jack was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for our Annie girl. This was the first time we had ever used Rover and Jack made this the best possible experience. He provided lots of updates, sent us lots of pictures and we could tell that he genuinely cared for and loved our girl while we were gone. Not once did we worry about how she was doing while she was in Jack's care. We came back to our apartment looking better than when we left it, could not tell we had a sitter there at all, more like we had a house cleaner come by. Would recommend Jack to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, loving and responsible dog sitter. Will 100% book with Jack again when the time comes.”

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.
“SO thankful to have reached out to Lindsey. She immediately connected with our boy Rig. Something we were nervous about since she would be with him a lot while we were away for 5 days. The very next day she sent a pic of him saying how well things were going and that alone allowed us to finally relax and enjoy our time. It can be nerve racking leaving your loved ones while you're away so it was a huge relief to see they were getting along so well. She sent pics throughout the our trip and even left a sweet handwritten report card of their daily activities. Can't thank her enough!!”


“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!”

About: I've had pets all my life and I currently have 4 of my own. I am someone that can be trusted with your pets and they will be cared for just like my own. I'm a freelance performer and my availability is very flexible. Should someone need a last minute sitter I am the person to call. I try to be active with my fur babies and I will make sure they are fully stimulated so they are behaved and happy when the owner gets them back. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats to keep your baby company. I also have extra crates if needed. I take them to the beach
“Anna is great! Our dog Darrel loved her. She responded right away to my request to book and came over the same day to meet our dog and to let me show her where everything is in the house. We needed her to come at 5am the next day and she was there bright and early on time. She sent us pictures throughout the day to let us know how Darrel was doing. We will definitely use Anna again.”

About: Growing up, we always had dogs around (German shepherds, border collie, pit bull). When I moved away, I missed having my furry best friends around. I adopted my pup Professor Wellington from a shelter in LA when he was around 6-8 months old. He was the first little dog I ever had which seemed easier living in apartments in LA & NYC and traveling. We had almost 13 years together before he recently passed away, and now I have an even bigger soft spot for older dogs that need some extra TLC. I have a regular 8-5 type job during the week, and I have the most flexibility in my day on Friday afternoon/evenings and the weekends. Having a pup that was an escape artist in the beginning, I’m very aware of checking for possible escape routes. I’m also used to watching for signs of anxiety and fear with the environment and other people/dogs. Every dog is different, but I want them to feel as comfortable, happy & safe as possible. For any house sitting requests, I do require doing a meet and greet prior to confirming the booking to make sure that we are all on the same page

“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 💕”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Shelli! She took excellent care of both our pup and our home while we were away. She stayed in regular contact with us and sent plenty of photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really bonded with our dog, Luli and paid close attention to the notes we had left—she went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. We’d definitely book her again in the future!”

About: Hi! I'm Julia, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for my own dog. That included the senior years, so I'm well versed in the extra attention older pets need, from slower walks and joint care to keeping a steady routine. I'm also comfortable giving medications to both dogs and cats, whether that's pills, liquids, or injections, and I'm happy to follow whatever regimen you have in place. After recently losing my dog, I've realized how much I miss having animals around, and I'd love to spend time with yours. I'll treat your pets like my own, with plenty of patience, affection, and regular updates so you can relax while you're away. A typical day for me: I work full time, Monday through Friday from 8 to 5, mostly from home. That means I'm around during the day and have some flexibility in the afternoons, so I can be available for midday check-ins, walks, or medication schedules. The exception is Thursdays, when I'm in the office all day in LA. I'm mainly looking for evening and weekend bookings, but I'm happy to talk through what your pet needs and see if we can make the timing work. My home: Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced backyard, so dogs have a secure space to stretch their legs, and there's a dog park right on site for extra playtime and socializing. The house stays locked at all times, and I have room for kennels if your pet needs a designated space to rest or feel secure.

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.

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!

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
