“They were so kind to my pup who needed a cone to prevent him from obsessively licking a hotspot. They made several trips to the store until they found the perfect fit. 🫶🏽”
“Marlo is absolutely wonderful. She takes such good care of our dog Bruno. He never wants to come home. I would recommend Marlo to anyone who wants a responsible companion for their pet.”
“Corinne and Louis are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and they treated Wallie like their own. I was sent several updates and they communicated very well throughout the day. We plan on using them again!”
“It's hard to know where to begin. Tyler and Patricia are so amazing! They took such GREAT care of our 9 year old Emma - they were so attentive, kind, and conscientious with her. Emma was immediately comfortable with both Tyler and Patricia. They are dog people to the max! They are great communicators - they gave us great updates and photos daily. They will customize the amount of updates you'd like to receive and they were definitely on point for us. When I picked Emma up today, she was happy to see me, but she was like, 'ahhh, good to see you, but I wouldn't mind staying a while longer!" She was more comfortable staying with Tyler and Patricia than she's ever been staying with anyone else before. They made her feel a part of their family! We are so GRATEFUL we found Tyler and Patricia and I know Emma is as well. It's so comforting to find people like these two to take care of a member of the family who means so much to you.”
About: Big heart, gentle hands, and plenty of treats! I’m dedicated to providing a fun, stress-free environment for your pets. Whether it’s long walks or cozy cuddles, your fur baby will be in the best of care with me. Full-time care for your best friend! Because I’m a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility to provide around-the-clock attention. Our typical day includes cozy indoor playtime and daily neighborhood walks with my baby in tow. It’s the perfect environment for pets who love a consistent routine and a family atmosphere. I can't wait to welcome your pup into our daily adventures! I’m a firm believer that pets are family! When your fur baby stays with me, they get full access to cuddles on the couch and endless yard fun (fenced). If I’m visiting your home, I take pride in being a respectful guest who focuses entirely on keeping your pet happy and tired out. You can expect plenty of photo updates, quick communication, and one very happy pet upon your return!
“Poppy had such a great time with Julie and Maria! Julie did an awesome job with communicating and managing expectations in advance, as well as trying a few strategies to encourage our notoriously picky eater to eat even better than she usually does at home.”
“Isao and Rezairyl were amazing with Bella. They sent video and photos every day and went above and beyond for Bella's needs. Definitely booking with them again! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️”
“This was our first time using this app. We needed a super last minute sitter for Honne and Arriyanna was the perfect choice. She sent pictures and updates everyday. She was very patient and understanding of Honne’s separation anxiety and whinnying. 10 out of 10 would hire her as a sitter again!”
About: I've done it all — puppy chaos, senior snuggles, and everything in between. With 20+ years of hands-on experience and dogs I've raised myself, I know what your pet needs. I work a flexible full-time schedule from my home where I can care for your pet and take breaks to walk and play with them. If your pet is more comfortable in their own home, I am available to sit them there as my daytime job is remote. I am tidy and leave every space the same (if not better) than when I entered. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority. Having grown up in a home where dogs of all sizes were cherished family members, I understand how to read a pet's needs and create a calm, secure environment. I've personally raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I'm experienced in adapting care routines to each stage of life. In my home, pets are never an afterthought — they're treated with the same patience, attention, and love I'd want for my own family members (human or otherwise). 🧡
“Nyessa is simply wonderful! The way she cared for my dog was beyond what I could have hoped for. She’s so gentle, kind, and attentive! it felt like leaving my fur baby with family. I’m so thankful for her kindness and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“This was our first time leaving our BoBo. Amie has made his stay very comfortable and such a loving environment. Will definitely rebook in the future. She provided daily pictures and kept us updated regularly.”
“It is our first time boarding our dog, so we were a bit nervous, but Soonok was amazing! Our dog likes to walk outside, and Soonok brought him out for walks and even updated us with photos and videos. We appreciate Soonok being communicative and for taking great care of our dog. 5 stars for sure!”
“Megan and her family were great! Megan sent me updates throughout the weekend to let me know how things were going. When Remy got dirty from playing outside she gave her bath. Remy came home tired and happy!”
“Laura is fantastic! She is the sweetest person and that transfers beautifully to how she treats your pet! Maya is 15yrs and I’m always worried when I have to leave her for a period of time. Since I found Laura, I donmt worry when I’m away.”
“Alex watched our cat at her residence for about 2 weeks while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, and very flexible. When I picked up our cat, she was happy and healthy. I would use Alex to watch our cat again without hesitation.”
“We have a trip coming up and were uncomfortable with boarding our fur babies at a big chain for an extended period. Exploring our options we came across Rover. Karina had very good reviews and we liked the “in home” atmosphere for the pups. Karina did not disappoint, she was very responsive, communicated very well, and sent us frequent updates. She’s clearly is a dog lover, and is very good at making the pups feel at home. We were very happy to have found her, and have already booked our next stay.”
“Ellie had another wonderful visit with Sarah and Max. She has stayed with them several times now and we always feel so comfortable knowing what a loving environment she is in. Thank you Sarah!”
“We appreciated Donna keeping us updated each day and responding to our texts- wonderful. Watson tends to need some help during feeding and Donna did a great job making sure Watson completed his meal each day. He is back to normal at home (happy and playful) and by watching how he behaves we can tell he had a great time with Donna. Thank you Donna for the great care and feeding!”
“Chris is amazing! He is super chill and amazing with dogs. My dog Fenchy had a really good time for 4 days. Chris updated me with pictures and I can tell that my doggy had her own little holiday with Chris. She loved him! I can only recommend Chris - thank you so much for taking such a great care over my baby 🥰”

“Emily is absolutely amazing, I can not thank her enough! I had her come check up on babes (cats) and feed them in the morning at 6:30 a.m. and every morning she would send me a text letting me know she was there and how they were doing along with a few photos! This was the first time, going on vacation for a longer duration and she put me at such ease. So thank you! Hopefully I can go on another vacation and have you back! She also left me a little written note, that I found when I got back! All I have to say, is if your stressing about your pet needs, stress no more and contact Emily, I assure you it will be the best decision you ever made! Thank from Alyssa, Toothless & Kimba!”
“Jennifer is our go-to cat sitter! She is kind, communicative, and takes great care of our cats who both absolutely adore her. I feel so much better about leaving them at home knowing they will be well loved and played with. Easily the best part of every day I'm away is receiving the photo updates since Jennifer takes incredible photos, and it is such a comfort to see them happy and healthy at home!”
“I was new to Rover, and Mary Beth was my first pet sitter (two cats). She helped me through the first introduction process etc. and was very responsive, clear, and helpful. She did a wonderful job dropping in on my little kitties, and I will definitely be requesting her again upon my next trip.”
“Erin was wonderful and I’d love to have her back. My cat has had a lot of health issues going on recently and I was very nervous going out of town but felt so much better knowing that he’d be in safe hands! She was a great communicator, very reliable, and my cat was kept healthy and happy. Thanks so much Erin!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for cats of different personalities, from very social to shy and reserved. I’ve pet sat for neighbors and built trust with cats who are typically hesitant around new people, taking the time to let them feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m reliable with daily care routines like feeding, litter box cleaning, and playtime, and I make sure each cat gets attention in a way that matches their personality. My goal is to keep your cat relaxed, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.
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!
“Kelsy is absolutely wonderful - she has such a positive energy and our cats took to her right away. She is communicative, dependable, patient, responsive, personable, and most importantly she loves animals and they love her back! I will definitely schedule her services again.”
“Kristen was great with my cats while my husband and I were on vacation! She is very accommodating and patient, especially with my shy cat. She sent pictures and updates everytime she came it gave me a peace of mind that my fur babies were in good hands. You can just tell she loves animals. I definitely recommend Kristen if you need your cat friends to be looked after while you’re away!”
About: Hi I’m Serena! I’m currently in my master’s program at CSULB! I work hard and give so much love to every single one of my client’s fur babies depending on all their needs. I've grown up with 5+ dogs in my lifetime and taken care of dogs and cats of every kind and size since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets while they were on vacation to walk, feed, and administering their medication (both orally and injections) to their pets. I've taken animal CPR and have lots of experience with senior care with three senior dogs. I’m current attending college at CSULB but I am available in the mornings and evenings for drop in visits. For overnight or extended stays I am available Sunday-Saturday. I will care for them in your home and follow the instructions given to feed and drop in visits. If they are allowed outside, I will go outside with them and keep an eye on them both day and night. I will never let them outside on their own due to safety reasons. If discussed and allowed to housesit, I will keep your pets company for hours doing my quiet hobbies (Reading, drawing, etc.) since my pets tend to dislike being alone in the house for long periods of time.
About: Safari Parties was my business for 25 years. I have taken care all types of animals. I have had several dogs, my chiweenie just passed at 17 years. I love working with people and animals. I have a credecial in special education and during Covid I cared for an elderly friend for 4 years until she passed. July and August I am available any day or night. In September my schedule changes because I am a Substitute Teacher. So I’ll always be available on weekends and after school hours. Or if I don’t get a job. My care will depend on the need of the animmal and the desires of the owner. I am flexible and if the owner wants me to take their dog to dog beach, I will. I can buckle the dog in. On the other hand, if the owner wants their dog walked on a leash, then that’s what I will do.
About: I have taken care of cats since I was sixteen. From neonatal kittens to senior cats, I have experience with all ages. I have also taken on kittens who were on medication and have experience there. I am very flexible to accommodate whatever your cat may need.
“Shelli was great for drop in visits with my cat! When we met initially, she took notes on everything and subsequently took care of everything we discussed. On the first visit there was an issue with the key I gave her but she was very communicative and reassuring to me not to worry and it all got sorted out. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Maiko was super friendly and accommodating. My kitties caused an issue at home and she was very prompt on informing me and help me with the situation. I definitely recommend her and will be requesting for her service again!”
About: I raised a cat for a full year and understand their needs for feeding, play, and companionship. I’m patient, gentle, and love giving cats attention while respecting their space and routines. I’m comfortable caring for kittens, adults, and senior cats, and I treat every pet as a cherished member of the family.
“Christian is an excellent Rover! She has watched our cat twice now and he has had a great experience both times. We greatly appreciate the number of pictures and detailed reviews she provides us and highly recommend her to other.”
About: I love dogs, cats, and everything in between! I’ve taken care of my brothers puppy for 5 months, my own dog for about 5.5 years, my grandmas and my aunts dogs for a few years, both of whom live farther away, and have given walks, baths, and naps to all of them. I am currently down from my studies at UC Berkeley back in my hometown of long beach, and am currently on break from my job up there so this is my main priority aside from mental health, but dogs solve that! My home is fenced in and in a nice neighborhood, I care for dogs with kibble-based meals, raw food meals, and everything in between, I have a large bathtub for any dogs, and will do whatever the owner would like at their home as well. I am a naturally clean person and will keep a client’s home very clean as well.

“I recently rescued a deaf dog, Artemis, and was nervous about leaving her with a sitter after only a week together. Lisa made the whole experience easy and stress-free. After a meet-and-greet with Lisa and her dog Rigby, followed by a visit to her home, I knew Artemis would be in good hands. During her stay, Lisa provided updates, photos, and videos that gave me peace of mind. Artemis loved the large yard, which gave her plenty of space to run and play. I highly recommend Lisa and would gladly trust her with Artemis again.”
“Amazing communication. Got back to my request immediately. Took so many photos and videos of my cutie. Highly recommend!!! At pickup my pup was so tired and slept the rest of the day.”
“Jill was so wonderful and caring for Diego! Her outdoor play area was shaded and so clean for the dogs. She even taught him how to use the doggy door! She was really understanding about his separation anxiety and hung around with him until he felt more comfortable to play and nap, and steal all the dog beds! I would absolutely bring Diego back here.”
“Marilyn, Eyon, and Erilynn are all wonderfully friendly people who are great with dogs. It's comforting to have your dog literally jump for joy when he realizes he will be spending time with them.”
“Donna is a fantastic and caring pet sitter. Every time I am in need of doggy daycare for my fur baby, I immediately book with Donna. She has been watching my pup since he was months old and he loves to see her every time .”

“I am soooo soooo happy I found Marlo. I chose her because of how many return clients she had and now I know why. She is very professional and thorough as a business person and delightful as a human. My dog had such a great time, he seemed sad to leave. No worries for him as he will be back in a week for a stay. I highly recommend Marlo to anyone who loves their dog and is nervous about letting a stranger take care of their dog. After 2 minutes with Marlo, you will know your dog is in great hands and will be well taken care of and well loved. My dog even went to Bark-BQ with the neighbors dogs. A+.”

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.

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.

“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.

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.

“Marlo is absolutely wonderful. She takes such good care of our dog Bruno. He never wants to come home. I would recommend Marlo to anyone who wants a responsible companion for their pet.”
“Corinne and Louis are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and they treated Wallie like their own. I was sent several updates and they communicated very well throughout the day. We plan on using them again!”
“It's hard to know where to begin. Tyler and Patricia are so amazing! They took such GREAT care of our 9 year old Emma - they were so attentive, kind, and conscientious with her. Emma was immediately comfortable with both Tyler and Patricia. They are dog people to the max! They are great communicators - they gave us great updates and photos daily. They will customize the amount of updates you'd like to receive and they were definitely on point for us. When I picked Emma up today, she was happy to see me, but she was like, 'ahhh, good to see you, but I wouldn't mind staying a while longer!" She was more comfortable staying with Tyler and Patricia than she's ever been staying with anyone else before. They made her feel a part of their family! We are so GRATEFUL we found Tyler and Patricia and I know Emma is as well. It's so comforting to find people like these two to take care of a member of the family who means so much to you.”
“This was our first time leaving our BoBo. Amie has made his stay very comfortable and such a loving environment. Will definitely rebook in the future. She provided daily pictures and kept us updated regularly.”
“Laura is fantastic! She is the sweetest person and that transfers beautifully to how she treats your pet! Maya is 15yrs and I’m always worried when I have to leave her for a period of time. Since I found Laura, I donmt worry when I’m away.”
“Ellie had another wonderful visit with Sarah and Max. She has stayed with them several times now and we always feel so comfortable knowing what a loving environment she is in. Thank you Sarah!”
“Chris is amazing! He is super chill and amazing with dogs. My dog Fenchy had a really good time for 4 days. Chris updated me with pictures and I can tell that my doggy had her own little holiday with Chris. She loved him! I can only recommend Chris - thank you so much for taking such a great care over my baby 🥰”
“Laura was fantastic. She’s very quick to respond and took my dog on a very short notice. She was great with him. He was so happy to be with her and her dogs. He came home happy and healthy. Thank you so much!!!”
“Sara took the most incredible care of our pup. We got tons of great pictures of him daily and she provided wonderful updates. We even left with the cutest custom report card on his stay. I would absolutely recommend Sara to anyone who is looking for a great place for their dog!! Thank you Sara and Zoe!”
“Skye had a great time at Erin's house and with her family. Erin sent the appropriate amount of pictures and let me know that Skye was adjusting well. She came home in a great mood. Highly recommend.”
“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“Kristen is communicative and trustworthy with our pup. She handled his high energy, took him for outside time, and kept us updated. Her apartment was so clean and dog-friendly, he felt right at home with her.”
“This was our first time with Maria and she was very good with Happy. She sent us a lot of pictures throughout the day and took good care. Happy enjoyed her company and we will definitely keep Happy with her in future.”
“Sam was the best ever!! We could tell from the beginning that he was very in tune with animals and their emotions and needs. Our dog is especially energetic, so we appreciated the care Sam took to help our pup focus and be at ease.”
“Dolores watched our 11-year-old Chocolate Lab as was absolutely fantastic. She was sooo caring - she walked our pup regularly without even being asked. The accommodations at Dolores's house were better than Riley (our pup) is used to at home. Dolores was very communicative both before and during Riley's stay at Dolores's house. I would HIGHLY recommend Dolores and will definitely ask Dolores to watch Riley next time we need a puppy sitter. Sincerely, Vince Greco”
“Chrissy is awesome! She took really good care of my very particular, very anxious old dog. He seemed relaxed after spending time with her! Chrissy is communicative and made me feel super at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent Care for Chanel! I had the pleasure of booking Maritza to care for my beloved dog Chanel for six days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. As a new business, Maritza went above and beyond to ensure that both Chanel and I felt comfortable and at ease. From the very beginning, Maritza arranged for us to meet in person prior to booking. This allowed me to see both the inside and outside of her home where Chanel would be staying. I appreciated this opportunity as it showed Maritza's transparency and dedication to providing a safe and welcoming environment for her furry guests. Unlike other businesses, Maritza's willingness to allow potential clients to visit beforehand and ask any questions is a testament to her commitment to customer satisfaction. Once I booked, Maritza asked for Chanel's shot records, which demonstrates her responsible and professional approach to pet care. She kept me informed and updated throughout Chanel's stay, sending plenty of photos so I wouldn't miss my fur baby too much while on vacation. What I especially appreciated was Maritza's thoughtfulness in asking how much information I wanted while I was away on a cruise, showing that she tailors her services to meet the specific needs and preferences of her clients. Maritza's service was exceptional in every way. Not only did she provide pick-up and drop-off services for Chanel, but she also returned her happy, clean, and continuing her training and potty training. She even introduced Chanel to the Bell at the door system, seeking my permission beforehand, which allows Chanel to notify us when she needs to use it. This level of care and attention truly exceeded my expectations. In conclusion, I highly recommend Maritza's pet care services. I genuinely hope that her business continues to thrive because I would love to entrust Chanel to her care again in the future. Thank you, Maritza, for the outstanding service you provided to Chanel and me!”
“Leslie is amazing! She was able to work with us last minute to take our pup when I was in labor. She provided us with pictures and updates and our Joy was happy. We definitely recommend her and will be working with her again.”
“Always wonderful to work with someone who truly enjoys our four-legged friend as much as we do. Great feedback and updates throughout the stay, including photos from the dog beach. Emmitt says he had more fun than we did!”
