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: Neighbors, friends, and family have always asked me to take care of their pets. I have experience with cats, dogs and even reptiles. I love to be around animals so being attentive to a pets needs is something that brings me joy. I’m currently a student but I’m used to being able to mange a school and work life schedule. I’m always available Friday-Sunday. I’m also available Monday-Thursday but not at every time of the day depending on what time my classes are. I would follow the owner’s instructions including feeding schedules, walks, and any medications if needed. I’d keep the home clean, ensure the pet feels safe and give the pet attention as well.

About: I have trained and cared for 2 dogs (chinese crested and pit bull/lamb mix). Family and neighbors have depended on me to take care of their dogs and cats (walked, feed, play, feed and bathe). I am available to play, feed, bathe or walk dogs as often as needed. Also available to board cats and dogs as my schedule allows. I have a fenced backyard and do not crate my dog unless needed. Walk the dog twice a day and give the dog freedom to roam care free.

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: I’ve taken care of and raised 3 dogs and 1 cat my entire life and I love hanging out with them. I’m always taking them on 3+ mile walks around the island I live on. One of my dogs lost her leg in a car accident and I held her together while we drove to the hospital and now she’s a strong beautiful tripod dog. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I can guarantee a copious amount of time with any pets that need care and attention. I have a large front yard and a huge house indoor for any pets to romp around in and have fun. I have plenty of food and water for them as well.

About: I’ve raised, potty trained, and bite trained my own puppy. I have dog and house sat two dogs multiple times for family friend with a maximum of two weeks. I have also taken friends dogs on walks and watched over them. I currently go to college full time, however, my class schedule is very flexible and I am willing to try and figure out a schedule that works best for my clients:) I like to ask my clients their parenting style for their fur babies to ensure I treat them with the love and care they deserve. I utilize all products and suggestions given to me and provide animals with the same love and attention I would for babysitting a child.

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.

I am trustworthy, communicative, and can adapt to whatever your needs may be. I have a pretty good understanding of animal behavior and currently have a dog and 2 cats!

I have a lot of energy throughout the day so I’ll make sure your pet has the best time on their walks! In my home, I treat my pet as a family member and they get the proper general care as well as medical check ups as needed. In other's homes while I'm pet sitting, I will make sure to update my clients on their pets and make sure that they are doing alright.

About: I am a huge pet lover and have always had animals as well as watched them for over 8 years. Would love to become your fur babies bff! I have new and reoccurring pets that I care for + absolutely spoil. My care includes walking, feeding, keeping clean, and giving them lots of love! I also love to take them to nearby dog beaches and dog parks if the owner permits! Please note that I do live in an apartment (which is extremely dog friendly), so if you pet does not mind more structured spaces, then they would be perfect to board with me! I make sure they are being fed on the correct schedule the owner desires, get their necessary walks in, and getting lots of love and play time so they feel attended to and taken care of!

About: I’m new to Rover but I’ve been caring for animals for decades and have a deep appreciation for the comfort and companionship they bring. My past pet sitting experiences have been through friends and family as they need me. Now, I’m excited to commit to pet sitting regularly in the Long Beach community! I currently share my home with a rescue cat and have extensive experience house sitting for cats of all personalities. In 2011, I adopted a senior dog who inspired my love for dog walking and pet sitting. 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.

I ensure your dog gets plenty of attention, care, and playtime, and I’m happy to adjust my availability based on your pet's needs. Feel free to reach out with your specific dates, and I'll do my best to accommodate! At your home, I make sure to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, keeping them comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I provide regular updates, so you’re always informed about how your pet is doing, and I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions you may have to ensure their happiness and well-being. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every dog like family.
