Raymond is one of the best dog sitters out there. If you want someone reliable and caring look no further than Raymond. My pup Drogon is an elderly great Dane with Wobblers Syndrome. He needs special care that Raymond does without question. During his session with Drogon its undeniable that my boy gets the attention and care that he needs whether it be extra pets, talking to him, exercise, water, medication, and cleaning him after he soils himself. I have no doubt that when Raymond comes over to watch him that he will be comfortable and it brings me peace of mind.

Daizy was very attentive and tended to my cat's needs and personality during her drop-ins. She definitely made me feel better about leaving my cat under her care. She's thorough and detailed with her check-ins. I highly recommend Daizy if you're looking for someone to look after your cat with the utmost care.

Arya’s first drop in visit with Melissa was a success! Melissa made a great first impression immediately, so leaving her with my fur baby didn’t make me feel so guilty. Her calm and sweet demeanor was exactly what I wanted in a cat sitter. I was pleasantly surprised to receive pictures of Arya looking content on the couch, it was a relief to see her look so relaxed with a new person. I’ll definitely be using Melissa again and was just so pleased I had to give her a shout out. Thank you Melissa!

About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for friends :) and family for over 9 years. I am comfortable handling all dogs, cats & and even bunnies!!! I truly love them all! I believe man’s best friend deserves plenty of love, attention, and care. :). I understand that busy schedules can sometimes make it hard to give pets all the time they need, and I’d love to help provide that extra support. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, walks, cuddles, or companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently back in school full-time pursuing another degree, and when I’m not in class or studying, you’ll usually find me outside enjoying the sunshine. I have fond memories of working for a family friend as a dog walker during my undergraduate years, and now that I’m back in school as a postgraduate student, I’d love the opportunity to help fellow pet owners again. I’m very dependable, detail oriented, and a strong rule follower who appreciates clear instructions and routines. I will carefully follow your pet care guidelines to make sure your pups stay safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care. I’m also mindful about respecting your home and ensuring both your dogs and cats are well cared for every step of the way.

About: I’ve had my own dog for over 14 years who recently passed and I’m trying to ease back into dog mom life and meeting new furry friends in my neighborhood! I’m off for the whole summer and have all the time in the world to make your dogs day the best one ever! I love hiking, swimming, parks, exploring new places and any and all animals! I will be by your pets side for whatever they may need during the day and at night. Extra perks of they like to cuddle or be close to humans for comfort. I have a carry sack for the older dogs and would love to take them too even if they can’t walk far.

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: I’ve been a dog owner for over 12 years and currently care for my own senior Corgi, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I also regularly care for friends’ pets, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and instructions. I understand that senior dogs may need a little extra care, patience, and attention, and I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I work a full-time 9–5 job in Long Beach, but I’m able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I stop by home during my lunch break to take care of my own dog, which gives me the opportunity to also provide a midday walk, potty break, or check-in for your pet. I’m also available for quick visits after work and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need while you’re away! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walking routines, and any specific safety needs. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised, and the home is left clean and as I found it. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal environment.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was about 4 years old. I understand the important role pets play in the family! I currently have 4 cats that I love with my whole heart! My most memorable dog care experience is with my family friends dogs Naiya- a cane corso and Mimi- an English bulldog. All that to say I’m quite strong and could walk big dogs comfortably. Additionally, I am gentle enough to clean the folds of an English bulldogs sweet face. I currently work full-time in government relations but I am free during the week after 5pm Monday-Wednesday and Thursday- Fridays I work from home so my schedule is a bit more flexible. Weekends I am free :) I care for pets as if they are my own. I understand how important a pet is in a family. Every pet is different so I’m happy to learn more about them and their needs.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I truly love all dogs. I have a lot of respect and compassion for these beautiful beings. 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: Tengo 1 año cuidando perros de familiares aquí en Long Beach. Me encargo de paseos tranquilos, darles agua, comida y mucho cariño. Me gusta mandar evidencias a los dueños para que estén tranquilos. Soy muy puntual, responsable y paciente con perritos. Trabajo a tiempo parcial y tengo las mañanas libres 3 días a la semana. De lunes a miércoles Por eso ofrezco paseos con calma, sin prisas y sin llevar muchos perros a la vez para dedicarle la atención correspondiente a cada perro. Puedo hacer paseos de 30 min por Long Beach, siempre a la misma hora que acordemos para que tu perrito tenga rutina. En los paseos siempre van con correa, llevo agua, bolsitas y te haré llegar evidencias del paseo si lo deseas. No los dejo sueltos ni los amarro afuera de tiendas. Si tu perro es nervioso con otros perros, lo paseo separado. Camino por calles tranquilas y evito el calor fuerte. Tu perrito regresa seguro, hidratado y contento.

Trey was absolutely wonderful with checking in on my little kitty every evening while I was away on a trip. My cat is rather timid with strangers, and I’ve never had a non-family member watch her prior to this (so I was also a bit anxious). I was put at ease from the first check-in, with Trey sending pictures of her actually coming out to say hello and coaxing her forward! They went above and beyond what I had requested during the week, and I’m so appreciative. They know the exact sort of delicate and gentle approach that an anxious or scared cat needs. I’ve found my sitter for future trips! Thank you, Trey! :)

This was my first time using Rover, so I was definitely a little nervous about leaving Dewey with someone new. Dewey was pretty shy and hid during their meet and greet, so it meant a lot to see how comfortable he became with Raymond over the course of the visits. Raymond was incredibly patient with him, spent time with him, and sent great updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. You could really tell he genuinely cared about Dewey and made an effort to get to know him and make him feel comfortable. I honestly think Dewey probably misses him too lol.. Raymond was also reliable, communicative, and very easy to coordinate with. I’m really glad my first experience with Rover was with him, and I’d absolutely trust him with Dewey again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Signal Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Signal Hill on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 20,663 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Signal Hill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Signal Hill stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Signal Hill. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
