About: I love dogs and how important they are to their family. I've been around dogs throughout my whole life and have watched all kinds of dogs varying in size and age, and will take care of your dog with the love and attention they deserve. Available to give them an uptempo stay including dog parks and running, or a more relaxed backyard hang if they're more of a homebody. I have a flexible work-from-home situation and work on-call in the evenings so I tend to have a lot of time in the weekdays. I can usually accommodate last-minute care if my availability is free. I'll treat your dog like my own, and give them all of the love and attention they want. We have a 12-year-old dog (mixed-breed, medium size) who loves company and will welcome your dog with open paws. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time, and willing to get your dog plenty of exercise if they're more active, or taking it a little easier if they aren't as energetic.

About: PROFESSIONAL DOGWALKER & LONG-TERM PET SITTER & in LONG BEACH, CA Serving Belmont Heights, Belmont Shore, Bluff Park, Bluff Heights, Belmont Park, Rose Park, Carroll Park, Alamitos Heights, Bixby Knolls, Naples Island and more! Hi, I'm Jacob! I'm 32 and recently moved to Long Beach with my wife from NYC. I bring a friendly and fun energy that most dogs are naturally drawn to. My experience includes caring for both dogs and cats between 4 months-17 years old. I am an ideal sitter for high-energy dogs who need tons of attention, long and/or frequent walks, and extra play time while their owners are away. Skilled at senior dog care, including those with complex medical needs (including injectable medication) and frequent vet visits. I also provide bathing and basic grooming for longer stays at negotiable rates. LONG-TERM PET SITTING: I am a high-energy, hands-on sitter and will give your pets lots of love and attention. If I must leave your home for any reason, I always return within two hours. I keep emergency vet services and poison control information handy—though fortunately I've never needed to use either. I keep dogs on-leash outside of the house at all times. I closely follow house rules and strive to leave spaces in the same condition I found them or better. DOGWALKING & FEEDING: Daily walks for up to three (3) dogs at a standard hourly rate, up to 3x per day. Walks are 1 hour unless specified by the owner. I will refill your dog's food, water and medication if your dog needs it at that time. DOG BOARDING: If you prefer to board your dog, let's discuss long-term boarding options at my home. I live in an apartment complex with my wife, who also loves dogs. She works in-office 5 days/week and will not be involved in pet care. I have access to common yard space and live in a safe neighborhood that's ideal for daily walks. My wife is allergen sensitive, so dogs with excessive shedding or dander will not be a good fit. Rates may vary depending on your pets' specific needs. I live a short walk from the beach and will happily take your dog on a sandy adventure—no swimming allowed. I am currently available weekdays from Monday-Friday. I work part-time at a restaurant on Saturday and Sunday evenings, though my exact schedule varies and is subject to change. My work shifts are rarely longer than 8 hours. Dogs are kept on leash at all times while outside the house. I keep emergency vet services and poison control information handy, though I've fortunately never had to use either.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. While I have no formal training, I've owned pets consistently for the last 35 years. I've done a lot of work with rescues and shelters, particularly with special needs animals. I'm equipped to give medication of all types, even IVs and injections. I'm currently fostering two silly bulldogs and am volunteering my time with multiple local rescues. I have a knack for animals... You might even call it a superpower! I'll likely become best friends with your pet as soon as I meet them; I'll take the extra time to establish trust with you and your furry friend, so you both know you are in good hands with me. Whether it be just a quick walk or a homestay, your pet will be the center of my attention and will always be in good hands! Every booking comes with lots of pictures and a full recap of our time together. While I'm typically not available early in the morning, my schedule is otherwise pretty flexible. I'm available for drop ins and over nights. Unfortunately due to an FIV+ cat I am unable to host your pet here. I will schedule a meet and greet prior to our first booking to meet you and your pet at your home. I like to schedule this for up to one our in order to make sure we take the time we need to establish trust. Many of my pets over the years have been special needs, including English Bulldogs and FIV+ cats.

Dogs are very unique and amazing creatures, I find it cute that they have their own personalities. And I have years of experience walking, feeding, playing and caregiving Dogs. I have lots of patience growing up with a lot of animals and working with kids. I’ll make sure I’m your pets home away from home, I will make sure they are comfortable and loved. I will follow yours instructions carefully. And I’ll treat your pet like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind when you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule I take classes online. So I have plenty of time to give your precious dog the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, keeping them company, giving them affection. I’ll make sure there are safe at all times. Your dogs safety and comfort is my top priority. I have a fenced yard in a safe community. I live near the beach and I love to go on walks with my fur babies and do fun activities. I have two little friendly dogs who love to play. I have a Frenchie puppy and a Toy poodle that is 3 years old. Your pet will be supervised and introduced slowly to make sure everyone is comfortable. But if you don’t feel comfortable I have multiple fenced yards but your pup is my top priority

About: I missed having dogs at home. Unfortunately I lost both of them last year. I had them for 16yrs. I have experience with senior dogs. I know how to put injections such as Insuline shots and give them medicine. I live in Long Beach, very close to LBG, very convenient airport. I like to keep the dogs at the house and just have a daily routine as they do at own home. I tried not to take them to places unless is required. I'm currently working part time and working from home. I'm available most week days and weekends. I'd rather take reservations from Thursday thru Sunday and some holidays too. Only one family at the time, no more than 3 pets. I just moved to Long Beach. Bixby Knolls area. Very close to Long Beach Airport. Very convenient and easy airport to flight from. Safe environment, a lot of places to go for a walk and 3 story townhouse, hard wood floors with small balcony, small patio and garage. Enough space to spoiled your dog. Gates to keep the dogs away from the stairs as well.

About: As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give dogs the time, attention, and companionship they need. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, and staying active or prefers a slower, more relaxed routine, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. My biggest priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home in my care. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, respect their boundaries, and give them plenty of attention, enrichment, and love throughout their stay. I’m currently a full-time student, so I’m home most of the day and able to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddle time, proper enrichment, regular potty breaks, and everything they need to feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve always been an animal lover and have a deep love for my own pets. I do my best to create a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment where they can feel happy and at ease. For the past six years, I’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering both cats and dogs, which has taught me how to care for animals with a variety of personalities and needs. Your pet’s health and well-being will always be my first priority, followed by making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well supervised while they’re in my care.

About: I love animals and have been taking care of pets all my life. In addition to caring for my own dog, I regularly care for the pets of my friends and family when they are away. Feeding, walking, playing with dogs and cats brings me joy, and I would love to become your pet's new best friend too! I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs like my own old pup. Whether it is exercise they need chasing a ball at the dog park or belly rubs and cuddles, I am excited to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I am available for pet walks, drop-ins, and petsitting every weekday Monday through Friday from 9am to 3:30pm either at your home or my own. I am happy to come to your home to pick up your pet for a walk or to drive your pet to the dog park. I can also play with your pet in your home and do any feeding or medicine administering needed.

Nicolas has been taking care of Juno for almost a year now, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough! He’s incredibly reliable and has been a lifesaver on so many occasions, especially when I’ve needed help on short notice. He’s so gentle and patient with Juno, and I can tell he genuinely cares about her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in good hands whenever he checks in on her. I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust and count on!

Amanda was a pleasure to work with and she showed great experience working with my cats. My 2 year old Tuxedo cat (Jimmy) warmed up to her quickly which doesn't always happen so from there everything went great. Amanda's daily visit reviews contained photos which were greatly appreciated and I was able to send her additional help information during the multiple visits. My cats truly enjoyed Amanda's visits and I highly recommend Amanda for any single cat and/or multiple cat owner.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Signal Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Signal Hill is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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 October 2026, there are 20,593 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Signal Hill. 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 .

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 , 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 Signal Hill. 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
