About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including breeds like pit bulls, German shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, and American bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog from a puppy and cared for my previous dog through all stages of life, including senior care. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs to more relaxed or older pets. I also have experience pet sitting for multiple types of animals, including cats, fish, turtles, and small aquatic pets. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ve worked with shy animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a consistent class schedule, which allows me to plan my pet care visits reliably. 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 consistent attention, walks, and care. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. 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 make sure pets feel secure in their own space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Experience dog owner who specializes in large breeds. I would love to be your go to when life gets busy. Making sure you know your pets will be taken care of and safe is my number one priority. I have two large dogs at home, my senior German is on all kinds of pain management meds so I'm used to taking care of animals with more needs. I can also wrangle in our 4 year old German husky mix. I love dogs of all sizes and would love to spoil them on a walk. I'm super observant, my senior is not super friendly so I'm always making sure she's safe when she's with me on walks. I am currently not working so my schedule is open, I just ask if you need to cancel give me as much notice as you can! I understand boundaries and will treat your pet and home with the same respect. Just let me know what you need from me to be happy moving forward!
About: Lifelong animal lover, rescue dog caretaker, and Marine Biology student. From energetic pups to gentle seniors, I bring a structured, observant, and deeply compassionate approach to pet sitting. Your animal’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I currently volunteer every Sunday at the Aquarium of the Pacific, and I have a flexible school schedule during the Fall and Spring semesters. I'm available afternoons, evenings, and Saturdays. I'm available for drop-ins or to stay at the client's home. I'm comfortable doing walks, feedings, play time, and administering medications (no injections).
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Through this experience, I became comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing daily companionship. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels cared for, relaxed, and happy while their family is away! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. My availability may vary, so please feel free to contact me for more details. I'd be happy to discuss your pet's needs and find a schedule that works for both of us! I currently provide care in my clients' homes. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I do my best to keep their routine consistent. I'll follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requests. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away!
“He’s everything my boy needed! We will forever be grateful for Raymond for helping us with Blue’s walks while my wife recovers from surgery. He’s very personable, attentive, and treats Blue as if he was his own. Wish there were 100 stars!”


About: I’ve been dog sitting/walking for 7 years, and I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life. As cheesy as it is, animas are my world and I love being able to meet so many of your sweet babies! I am going to school four days a week and I have a part time job. I have blocked off all days I can’t be available on Rover! Open communication is super important, and lots of pics! I wanna make sure I’m respecting your space and your pet. I am always open to talking about any special accommodations for the safety of your pet.
About: I am a proud dog mom! I’ve provided dog care for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 12. I love playtime and walks with our four legged friends! My schedule is extremely flexible, making playtime and walks a main priority for the pups! I Can start boarding typically after 3-4pm but can always move things around if needed. I am very attentive and responsible when it comes to ensuring a safe environment for our four legged children. Making sure they are always where they need to be and in clear sight is a top priority.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized, detail-oriented approach and years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve cared for everything from playful poodle mixes to large breeds like black labs, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy puppy or providing patient care for an older pet, I adapt to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their routine. Additionally, I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own—handling tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and managing trash day. Clients trust me not just because I care for their pets, but because I’m dependable, responsive, and go the extra mile to make sure everything is just right. I'm currently free majority of the time, weekdays and weekends. I do partake in tutoring services along with taking care of pets as well, but my schedule is flexible with all of those occurring. I will be a bit more busy when school starts up for me, but can still manage all responsibilites. I primarily care for pets in the comfort of their own home, as this helps them feel more relaxed and maintain their regular routines. While staying at a client’s home, I make sure to follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), walk times, and play routines. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and stimulation to keep them happy and calm while their owners are away. In addition to caring for pets, I keep the home tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and take out the trash as needed. My goal is to ensure both the pet and the home are well looked after, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I am active and love to play. I'll be sure to take care of your dog as if it were my own, and I will provide the best care possible. Dogs are family and deserve to be treated as such. I am available almost all of the time because my schedule is very flexible. I own a German shepherd mix named Sarge. He is great with other dogs and LOVES to play and go on walks. My schedule is very flexible so I can easily fit pet care in to my day, and works along with taking care of my own dog. There are local dog parks, but there is also plenty of walking areas and trails. In a clients home, it is based on whatever their normal routine is! I am flexible and just want to give the dog what they need!

About: I’ve raised my own dogs, including my English bulldog Pancake and my current Frenchie, Meatloaf, so I understand the extra care some dogs need when it comes to pacing, temperature, and overall comfort. I’ve also completed the Fear Free Shelter Program and currently volunteer at Long Beach Animal Care Services, where I work with dogs of all temperaments, including shy and sensitive personalities. My focus is on calm, structured walks and creating a safe, low stress environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for. What you can expect: • Photo and video updates every visit • Clear communication throughout care • Calm, patient handling for anxious or sensitive dogs • Care tailored to your dog’s routine and needs • Respectful care of your home I care deeply about dogs’ wellbeing and will treat your dog like my own, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“It was my first time using rover with Trinity. She’s amazing and sent me updates and pictures along the way which I appreciate very much ! Definitely recommend her for your precious furbabies .”

About: I have had a dog my entire life, and had a Great Dane for ten years. I am very patient, and I can handle dogs who don’t love to listen. I’m not afraid of a challenge! I walked, fed, cleaned and played with my own dog regularly, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work part time, but I have plenty of down time to care for your pets! I can be available most days, depending on the time. I will treat your pet just as you would! I will offer them treats (if allowed) for listening, and take them on nice, long walks. I have experience keeping my Great Dane out of trouble with other dogs while on a leash, so your pet’s safety and comfort will be my top priority! :)

About: 🐾 Experience I grew up with a family dog who was part of my life for over 10 years (she passed away last year and I miss her dearly), so I understand the day-to-day responsibility, routines, and care that go into keeping a dog happy and healthy. Through that experience, I’m comfortable with: - Daily walks and exercise routines - Feeding schedules and portioning - Basic grooming (brushing, cleaning paws, etc.) - Giving lots of attention, play, and companionship I’m especially mindful of each dog’s personality and energy level. Whether your dog needs a calm, relaxed walk or something more active, I adjust to what they’re most comfortable with. I also understand how important communication is for pet owners. I provide consistent updates, photos, and check-ins so you always feel confident your dog is safe and well cared for. While I’m newer to Rover, I bring real, hands-on experience from years of caring for my own dog and I treat every dog I work with like they’re my own. I thought this could be a good way to help me heal my heart after the loss of my family dog and be more active while helping local dog owners. I have a flexible schedule and live locally in Belmont Shore, which makes it easy for me to provide consistent and reliable care. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, depending on your needs. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks fit naturally into my routine. I’m also available on weekends and can accommodate recurring schedules. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, leash preferences, and any specific behaviors or needs. I’m attentive on walks, avoid unsafe or crowded areas when needed, and make sure your dog is secure at all times. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of your space. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I joined Rover in October 2025 but I’ve been caring for animals for decades and have a deep appreciation for the comfort and companionship they bring. Before joining Rover, I was (and still am!) the go-to resource for friends and family who needed cat, dog, and house sitting. Now, I’m excited serve the Long Beach community :) Whether I’m spending time with a playful pup or a senior, I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. New Rover clients are eligible for a $20 credit: https://www.rover.com/sit/erins70354 I work remotely, Monday through Friday, and have flexibility for morning and day time care - walks, feedings, socializing. I can also provide care in the early or late evenings, working around dinner and gym time. I prefer to provide care in the client's home. I can stay overnight and work from the client's home if reliable internet is available. If internet is an issue, I will leave and come back a few times during the day and return for overnight care each night.
“Kelsy is the BEST!!!! Always on time, super positive, energetic love she showed my sweet girl Lucy. Kelsy went above and beyond to create a special relationship with my pup, and myself. Communication was superb. Really lucked out with booking Kelsy. Highly recommended her to anyone who loves their pet like family. Thank you so much 🙏🏼”

Amie walks my reactive dog Sunny weekly and working with her has been a wonderful experience from the beginning. She’s a very responsive communicator, she’s very good with dogs and has helped me with extra walks as my schedule requires. I greatly appreciate her communication with me about my dogs behavior - I highly recommend Amie!

Caitlin was friendly, professional, and an excellent communicator throughout the entire experience. She kept me updated and made me feel confident that my dog was in great hands. What really stood out was that after the walk was completed, she went above and beyond by returning to my house to turn on the air conditioning for my dog after I realized I had forgotten. That level of care, thoughtfulness, and reliability is hard to find. I truly appreciated her kindness and attention to detail, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was being cared for by someone so responsible. I would absolutely book with Caitlin again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.

Riley was the best with my puppy and she cared for him with so much love! He instantly wanted to be besties and Riley was on time for each scheduled feed or walk. Riley even went the extra mile to help apply anti-itch cream after walks since he started to have a bad rash. She is amazing and I would book again!

My dogs seemed to absolutely lover Trevor! They had a great walk, and Trevor was extremely helpful and responsive. He listened to special requests like avoiding other dogs, and made sure my dogs had the best time on their walk. Will definitely book again, thanks!
