About: I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including my own pets and those of friends and neighbors. I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and I’m definitely one of those people who talks to pets like they’re little humans! As a pet parent myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and always mindful of each pet’s unique personality, routine, and comfort. Whether we’re out enjoying a walk, having some playtime, or just keeping each other company, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how they’re doing! Above all, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, trustworthy hands and will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m available full-time for dog walking and drop-in visits, offering a flexible schedule throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, a midday potty break, or some extra attention and companionship, I’m happy to help! I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your pets, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and care for a beloved family member. I carefully follow your instructions, respect your pet’s routine and personality, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your furry family member is in loving hands.

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. My family's first pet was a cat who preferred to be away from humans. Living with him taught me how to respect the reclusive cat while still providing a loving environment for them. The second pet I grew up with was a highly energetic and profusely anxious weimeraner. She taught me how to work with larger dogs with high energy and how to help calm their nervous system when she got over-excited (which was at least once a day). In college I volunteered at a local cat sanctuary where I cleaned the enclosures while the cats were still in them. I interacted with cats who were on the entire spectrum of sociabiltiy ranging from big sweet baby energy to very feral. I currently have two cats that I adopted. I have had to give them rounds of medicine and have had to learn the best ways to administer it. I am also at their command for whenever they want attention, which is at least once an hour. Thank you so much for considering me as your drop- in sitter! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about my experience with our furry friends. I am available most days and times Monday-Friday. I am also an early riser! Weekends I have less availability as I am training to be a pilates instructor. However I will be available after 5:30pm. I ensure that all pets that i have watched have a clean and comfortable environment to live in. When I drop in on dogs, the first things that I do are look for any accidents (especially if that is known to be an issue) and then I make sure that they have some fresh water. I also make sure to give them a little treat if that is allowed as well. If there is a yard I will let them out and supervise them the whole time, or just give them lots of scratches instead if thats what they prefer. I will pick up any and all poop that I find and ensure that it is disposed of properly. For cats I do the same thing and make sure that the litter box or boxes are scopped. I also ensure that the area around the litter boxes is maintained particularly if a furry friend is inclined to really throwing around the litter. If cats are out and about while I drop in and want attention, I will make sure to give them all the pets and scratches they desire. If they are on the independent side, I respect that and let them decide of they want to interact or not.

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and taking care and spending time with them has always felt comfortable for me. Throughout my life I have also looked after family and friends dogs and cats which included feeding, playing with them, letting them out, and taking them on walks, and giving them the attention they need while there owners are away. While I am new to Rover, I am not new to caring for pets. I am primarily interested in building long-term relationships with local pet owners. I know how important it is to have someone you can depend on when it comes to the animals we love and I promise my patience, attention, and care. Communication is also very important to me, so I will always keep owners updated and send photos during visits and walks! I am currently a part-time barista and have classes on Friday which leaves me with a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and potential house sitting. I am primarily interested in building regular and consistent relationships with pets and there owners. I will always communicate my availability thoroughly so I can make sure to give your pet the attention they deserve! Your pets safety is my top priority which is why I will take the time to learn your pets routine, personality, and individual needs before providing care. I remain attentive during walks and visits and will follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, doors, leashes, and pet habits to fulfill my duties to the best of my ability. I will also provide updates so you know your pet is being taken care of! For house sitting, I understand that I am being trusted with your home. I will treat your home as I would with mine; with respect. I will follow the house rules and leave everything as I found it. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable knowing your pet and home are in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for them.

About: Hi everyone I’m new to Rover but I would love to give your dog the best day ever! I’ve been lucky enough to have dogs my entire life as my background. Now I have two mini dachshunds of my own that are the sweetest and goofy boys. I took time off work when I got chili (first pup) to ensure he was trained from day one and well taken care of. Went back to work for another year and now have decided to quit my corporate job because I wasn’t fulfilled to now pursue this career full time. Since I’m new I have cheap prices to build myself up but my goal is to start my own doggy day care full time. If you can help me with my dream that would be so appreciated! Please reach out if you have any questions, I will be happy to connect. :) I have a dog of my own so taking care of him everyday and any minute I’m home. I have a hybrid job so depending on the day but he is walked before I leave and as soon as I get back. I always make sure he is fed, walked, played with, and he gets tons of cuddles more than he probably wants. I will care for them in every way that the owner says or the pets needs. I’m structured, understanding, and flexible. If you leave me a list of to do or specific requirements I will make sure they get done and on time. I’m healthy young adult who has no problem playing or taking a dog on a long walk.

About: Animal lover for life! Growing up with cats and dogs gave me an early foundation in animal care and communication (the non-psychic kind 😄). For the past three years, I've volunteered with Guide Dogs of America, socializing and training puppies from 4 to 8 weeks old. This work has deepened my understanding of dog behavior, development, and trust-building from the very earliest stages of life. Cats hold a special place in my heart too. Years of living with them taught me how to read feline body language, respect their independence, and create a calm space where they can be comfortable. Friends and family turn to me as their go-to sitter, and I bring that same dependable, loving care to every animal I meet. I come to your home, keeping your pet in their own familiar environment so they stay relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. As a yoga and piano teacher, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I have two dedicated teaching days where my availability is limited, but the rest of the week I have generous windows of free time- perfect for popping in, spending quality time with your pet, and making sure they feel loved. Since I provide in-home sitting, your pet stays in their own familiar environment the entire time. I follow your established routines: feeding schedules, walk times, sleep spots, and any special instructions you leave. I treat every home with respect and keep safety a top priority, making sure gates, doors, and any pet-proofing measures stay in place throughout my visit. Your pet's comfort and security always come first.

About: Hi my name is Carley and I can not wait to meet your pet and take great care of them! I have house sat/dog sat for over 12 years now, with a number of clients. I am currently 30 years old and I've had dogs my entire life. I currently have a Ridgeback/Pitbull mix named Curtis that we rescued who I take on two walks a day, as well as take him to the park and dog beach! I spend every single day taking care of dogs so I know I am well experienced and will be a great fit for your pet! I am very active and healthy and will make sure your pet gets the exercise and attention/care that they need. I also have house sat for cats, so I am comfortable with any furry friends! I do work close to home and have some flexible hours so I can check in on them at lunch. As well as walk them. I have a fenced in yard. I can walk, feed and play with your dogs. I can bring them to parks or the beach if their owner is okay with that.

About: Having raised two pugs, I’m familiar with how difficult it is to find someone trustworthy who can help with walks or simply playing with your loved one. I’m a huge animal lover and I’m looking for a way to help out other pet parents looking for someone to help with their pet on a busy day or week. Having recently been laid off, I have plenty of time to help out other pet parents. I’m usually free in the mornings around 10AM after I’ve taken my land dogs on a walk or in the middle of the day and again during evenings after 4PM Having raised two dogs myself, I’m very patient and can adapt to the pet parents commands and the dogs needs. I have experienced with reactive dogs having dog sat my cousin’s barky dachshund.

About: There has not been a day in my that I’ve not shared it with one or more pet.This has allowed me to understand each fur baby has unique needs.

Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority, while following their routine and abiding by your house rules. I’ll give your pet the same loving attention I give my own.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Seal Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Seal Beach is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $37 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 19,367 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Seal Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Seal Beach. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
