House Sitting The Plaza

“Once again Cassandra was excellent. She is on top of her game. My dogs love her and she treated them with kindness and great care. She is receptive to my worries about leaving my dogs by frequently sending pictures and providing updates. We just love her.”

“Shauna was great! We booked her to house sit for 9 days. Visited twice before our booking to make sure her and our rescue dog were a good match. Sent us photo updates with how our dog was doing, and even went above and beyond by cleaning the sheets and towels so we got home to an already clean bed after a long day of travel. Definitely recommend”

“Michelle was great with our little 10 week old puppy. She was able to step in at the last minute and watch him for an evening. He’s young so he can be a handful but came home to an excited puppy who didn’t seemed stressed at all and was well taken care of. Very professional and would recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy their company. I currently volunteer at my local animal shelter a few days a week. I have completed the shelters Fear Free training that teaches how to recognize and alleviate Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) in pets. The training touches on how to read animal body language, low stress handling techniques, environmental and protocol modifications. I have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs. I currently work part-time. My schedule consist of working M,W,F at 11:00 AM-3:00 PM and T,Th at 11:00 AM-4:00 PM. I am not scheduled at my day job on the weekends. So on Saturday and Sunday I am available for constant care. I can house sit, do drop in’s, and walks 7 days a week. But on weekdays I will be out 4-5 hours a day due to my work schedule. I will always respect clients boundaries. I understand the importance of leaving the place in good condition and cleaning up after myself. Most importantly sending updates to the owners on how their pets are doing. I also understand the importance of the big responsibility it is to care for my clients pets. I will always treat them as my own, with compassion, care, love and respect.

“My pup was so well cared for! My girl is a rescue healing from an injury, and she can get nervous with sitters. But they were best buds after just one night! I received updates so I wasn’t worried, and it was a huge relief to find someone who knew exactly how to accommodate my dog’s needs. Would absolutely book again!”

“Bridget was perfect and made us feel so comfortable, knowing our Great Dane was in such caring and attentive hands while we were away. She followed our instructions to a T, was punctual, and very responsive. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

Chris C.

“Kristen was amazing. We booked her last minute, but she still made time to come to our home, meet Chapo, and take notes on everything she needed to know. Our flight was early in the morning, and as soon as I sent the request, she responded right away and came over to learn about his meds, routine, and schedule. We’re so grateful for her. She played with Chapo, took him on walks, and made sure he got his meds since he had an upset stomach when we left. She updated us every time she was with him, which gave me so much peace of mind during our trip. Highly recommend her!”

Kris G.

“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”

“Victoria took amazing care of our pups while we were away on vacation. Would definitely recommend and look forward to working with her again!”

“Lindsey is wonderful! She has such great energy and gave our Luna all the exercise and attention she needed. She sent us tons of pictures of their daily walks and adventures! Thank you Lindsey for taking such great care of our babies.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 5 years. I love walking dogs and playing with the animals when house sitting. I always ask what the owners want and follow their instructions. For house sitting can come multiple times a day. Bringing good energy and ready for a walk or play time. I work part time but can come any time on Monday, Tuesday, and can do walks Wednesday through Sunday before 3:40 pm. I am always on the go and love going on beach walks or just walking around the neighbor hoods. For house sitting I can check on the animals through the day and after work can spend the night or do a night check. I take care of our neighbor dog and two cats when she is off traveling. Usually come in the morning and feed animals and play with them. Then I take the dog for a beach walk or we go on a jog in the neighbor hood. Then I come back around lunch and get all the zoomies out check on them and play with them. Then I go before work and after work to let them out and check on them. Before work we usually go on a 20 minute walk just to get them outside. The cats usually follow us on the second walk.

“Mary did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. She is an excellent communicator, follows all instructions and gave our babies so much love! Will be booking her again :)”

About: As a dedicated shelter volunteer and veterinary assistant, I’m skilled at reading animal body language, ensuring their comfort, and giving each pet the attention they need. Whether your pet requires special care or just a fun walk, I’m here to help. With a background in veterinary assisting, you can trust me to handle everything from daily care to medication administration with confidence and love. I’m a full time student studying Biology at CSULB! I am available most days during the summer and will adjust accordingly when classes start 😁 The safety of your fur children always comes first. As a Rover pet walker and sitter, I take responsibility for creating safe conditions during walks or while caring for pets in your home. I ensure pets avoid potential hazards and stay vigilant for any signs of medical distress. With my background as a veterinary assistant, you can trust that I’ll provide attentive and knowledgeable care, giving your pets the love and protection they deserve.

About: I’ve basically lived in a zoo since I was a child, ha! My family always had a variety of animals, including dogs and cats. I’m new to Rover, but have so much love for animals! I’m a doctoral graduate student, but on summer break! My availability is pretty open, and I’m always happy to spend time with fur babies! My dogs are completely spoiled! They’re family members and treated as such. Plenty of loving, belly rubs, and I’m a proud professional ear scritcher! They sleep inside (usually on top of me in some way). I walk them both daily, but it’s usually more like they walk me, ha! Also, my youngest has separation anxiety and my older dog is completely terrified of loud noises (fireworks, cars backfiring, etc.), so I’m also very patient with dogs that need a little bit of extra love and care.

“Once again, Jessica was amazing! She was attentive, communicative, and loving with my pups! I recieved lots of pictures and updates. One of which was a video of her entering my home greeting the pup! Thier reaction to her, and the video melted my heart! I Jessica has made it easy for me to leave my pups in her very capable and competent hands! She's a gem!”

“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”

About: Hi folks!! I pet and baby sat many years ago throughout school and undergrad. I am a therapist currently on medical leave who wants to spend some time meaningfully connecting with sweet souls who don’t use many words :) I adore animals and have had them my whole life (at the most, I had 5 at once! 3 cats and 2 dogs). I also regularly help care for community cats here in Long Beach informally - helping get them food, water, and medical care when needed is important to me. They’re a special part of our neighborhood! Happy to provide personal references. I want to know what will make you feel most at ease taking care of your beloved! Please do reach out if you feel I may be a good fit. My schedule is pretty open and flexible. love to have a little bit of warning for a booking, but I have a great deal of time on my hands these days. I will take your lead - let me know what works best for your family and pet, and I am happy to oblige. Beyond that, I’ll do my best to read your fur baby and their needs, and to provide accordingly. Safety comes first, attunement comes second, fun and everything else comes third for me :)

“Kristina was amazing! One of the best sitters I've dealt with on Rover. She was so communicative and caring, she is fantastic with the pups and they were happy and healthy upon our return. Absolutely loved working with her!”
