“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!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitters! They took such great care of our dogs and truly went above and beyond. They walked them regularly, sent us lots of pictures and updates, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. What impressed us most was how attentive they were to each of our dogs’ individual personalities and specific needs. It’s clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after and took the time to make sure every one of our dogs was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. To top it all off, they ended our booking with a fantastic report card that summarized everything our dogs did while we were away. It was such a thoughtful touch and showed just how dedicated they are. We couldn’t have asked for better care and will absolutely be booking with them again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitters!”

“Max came through in last minute pinch! We had to find a trusting care taker for our dog because our venue event informed us the same day, only service dogs.

About: I am the biggest dog lover ever!! I truly think they are a gift to the world and I would be honored to help give your pup some lovin! I have grown up with dogs my entire life, including all rescue pups from a variety of backgrounds. I have quite a bit of experience dealing with elderly and ill dogs as well as puppies and fearful/reactive rescue animals! I have life long experience with dog walking, feeding, bathing, training, etc and I consistently volunteer at a local animal shelter where I have learned to create trust and care with fearful, traumatized, and aggressive dogs. I love love love animals and treat them with the utmost respect and care always. I’m a college student at CSULB studying public relations, I also work front desk at a spa! This means I have a much different schedule than many working professionals and am often extremely flexible with my schedule! I am often available during weekday morning, afternoons, etc when many people are at work. I am happy to care for your pet in whichever way you feel is needed for you and your fur baby. I can crate animals if needed or let them have free range if that is what works the best for you! I know that every pet and family are different so I am more than happy to do whatever feels best for you!

“Mary Beth took great care of my cats while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves cats. I came home to happy, well cared for pets and had total peace of mind the whole time.”
“First time using Rover and I am so grateful I chose Julia. From the moment I booked her, she was incredibly responsive and her notes throughout the visit visits gave me such comfort during my travel. She even went above and beyond and left things in impeccable order. My kitties are shy, but warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. Thank you, Julia.”
“Jennifer was amazing and took great care of our kitty Mei! She took lots of photos and played a lot with her. I was really hesitant to leave Mei at home for five days but seeing how cuddly she was with Jennifer really put me at ease.”
About: I understand that every cat has their own unique personality. I specialize in “reading the room,” if you’re cat is shy, I’m happy to give them space and simply exist in the room to provide company; if they’re social, I’m ready to create an active play session experience for them!
“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!”
“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: Hi, my name is Sereina! I love caring for cats and understanding their personalities to further gain their trust and know their habits. I have cared for indoor and outdoor cats and am a very adaptable care giver based on their behavior.

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.
“Amy did a great job with Charlie! She took Charlie out on nice long walks, and sent detailed reports and pics! We will definitely book her again next time we need someone to check in and walk our dog.”

“Elise is an amazing sitter! she’s very communicative, flexible, & understanding. She makes homemade dog treats & takes plenty of fun photos & videos. She even customizes the videos to make them extra fun - adding filters & music. Elise took our pup out to interesting places for walks and fetch. Our boy came back very tired and happy! Couldn’t have had a better 1st experience using Rover. So happy to know this amazing person! Highly recommend!”
“Matt and Kim were incredible sitters! They sent us the cutest photos of Bogart with their son and made him feel so at home. They walked him and cuddled him (which is the quickest way to Bogart's heart) and treated him like their own <3 We'll definitely be booking with them again :)”

About: Hi there! I’m a proud Boston Terrier owner and dog-lover in Belmont Shore. I like to stay active and I would love to take your dog on a walk (my dog is lazy and would rather stay home!). Some places I like to dog-walk are the green belt and the beach path. I’m very experienced in taking care of short-nosed dogs. I can't wait to meet your pup! I work remote so my schedule is very flexible. For day care, I typically take dogs out for a morning, midday, and evening walk and then they can relax in the house or yard while I work. I have a small, fenced front yard that I allow dogs to spend time in with supervision. I have a small dog (Boston Terrier) that will also be in the home if you book day care. He is very friendly and enjoys other dogs after a few minutes warming up to them!
“Jacqueline handled my pup with the most calm and caring vibe, gave her a nice long walk, was super responsive and sent pictures of the day. Will definitely use her as a day care or walker in the near future.”
“Zoë had such a great time with Sabrina. The communication and pictures during the day helped me to know that my puppy was well-cared for. I would definitely use Sabrina for doggie daycare again!”
“Jacquelyne was fantastic! Super friendly and communicated often with pictures and notes. Her 2 dogs were extremely friendly to our Teddy and I'm so glad he made new friends today with them! Couldnt recommend her more for excellent care!”
“Another great stay with Marlo! She watched my girl while I went on a day trip and provided several photos, walks and reina came home fed and ready for bed! We will definitely be back. Thanks again!”
About: I am an experienced dog walker and cat/bird drop-in care. Specialized in emotionally challenged dogs. Very large dogs that pull can be difficult for me to manage. I have availability between 8am and 9pm most days, seven days a week. My availability is uploaded a month in advance. Please book early to guarantee availability. Pet safety is my priority. I am aware of surroundings during walks, particularly for coyotes, and carry pepper spray for extra protection. I also gauge walks based on a dog’s need and capacity.
“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.”
“Jessica and her family are just the best. On top of excellent care they provided a loving environment for our new puppy’s first stay away from us. We were at ease while away and came home to a happy and tired pup! Thank you Jessica!”
About: My 16.5yr old MinPin passed recently and I miss her dearly. In order to fill the void I wanted to offer boarding services to others so they can experience the love and joy we have for our furry family members. We both work from home and so will be able to tend to your pets routine. Regular meals. Care and walks as you prefer. Sleeping arrangements depend on per size and preference. I have a fenced yard and never walk off leash. I am very mindful of safety inside and outside of my home. When out for walks we are aware and cautious of other dogs to ensure your pup stays safe and healthy.
“Sarah is great!! She’s super nice and responsive and loved my dog from the minute they met. I was so comfortable leaving my dog with her while I was at work. Will definitely book her again :)”
“Kayla is an amazing dog sitter! She has excellent communication & sent several pictures throughout the day. She was also very flexible with a last minute request and went above and beyond with walks, ensuring that my fur baby was nice and tired. Would absolutely recommend!!!”
“Kristen and Severin were amazing! They were able to accommodate a very last minute booking. They were very communicative and our pups absolutely loved them. We will definitely book with Kristen and Severin again!”

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. I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning and midday walks and check-ins on weekdays, with weekend availability as needed. My focus is on calm, reliable, and consistent care for every dog. I prioritize safety, calm energy, and consistency. I follow your dog’s routine closely and pay special attention to pacing, temperature, and comfort, especially for Frenchies and bulldogs. I use secure leash handling and focus on creating a safe, low stress environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for.
“Kristen is a great dog walker. She takes good care of the dogs is very interactive has great communication is and is very safety oriented and her availability is very open. I would recommend her.”
“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!”
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. For house sitting requests, I am currently able to offer spending 8-10 hours with your pet during the day, but am unable to offer overnight care at this time. I do my best to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medication, training, and anything else they need. I’m careful with doors and gates, clean up after them and myself, and send updates so you know how things are going.
About: Hi, my name is Sereina! I've grown up around dogs and have always been someone reliable and trustworthy around others pets as well. I know how to handle and care for dogs and cats of all different sizes, ages, and breeds. I would love to keep growing my experience and getting to know families and their pet family members as well! Currently I am working a part time job and visit my family in San Diego frequently. I am in school during the fall as a full time student but have extra time right now in the summer. Caring for your pet is another way for me to fill up the time throughout the week and meet new pets! As your pet sitter, I can be very by the book. If you have any special requests or know how to counteract any known behaviors from your pet I am capable of following your standards and following what is most comfortable and right for your pet. I will treat your pet with the same love and respect you have for them (and then some!). I am patient and will do everything I can to hold yours and your pets trust.
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.
About: I have significant experience walking and managing large, high-energy breeds. I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, especially larger dogs that require a confident and steady hand on the leash. I’m physically active and enjoy taking dogs on long, brisk walks that truly tire them out. As I finish my final university semester this May, my schedule is extremely flexible. I’ve dedicated this month to local gig work, which means I am in the Long Beach area all day. This allows me to easily pivot to your pet’s needs, whether it’s a mid-day walk or a specific feeding window, ensuring they get consistent attention while you’re away from home. I treat your home with the highest level of respect. This includes double checking that all doors and gates are securely locked when I arrive and leave, ensuring alarms are set correctly, and keeping the home exactly as I found it. My goal is to leave everything as I found it + a happy well-cared for pet :)

About: I've been taking care of my own and others pets for 20 years. Whatever needs or preferences your pet has, I can make it work. I'm currently a live in caregiver for my grandma. I'm also a student taking online classes from home, so I'm here most of the time. I have a dog Rigby and cat Shadow that I love very much. Pets add so much joy to my life, so I'm looking for opportunities to help other families. I have a high fence backyard with lots of grass and room to run. My dog Rigby loves other dogs and my cat Shadow is friendly as well. If your dog needs to be crated, I can accommodate that too.
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.

About: I've always had a strong love for animals. Whether soft or scaly, feathered or fluffy, animals make life special and more meaningful. My love for pets started with a cat, then a hamster, more cats, dogs, and a fish here and there... Nowadays you’ll probably find me with my two orange cats and a Scooby Doo dog. In addition to drop-ins and sittings, my pet/animal care experience includes volunteering at PetSmart and the SPCA of Long Beach. It’s been a joy to care for all the many pets and animals throughout my life! I work full time Monday through Friday but am open some weeknights after 5pm. I’m also available on some weekends and holidays. My pet care routine includes feeding, walking, grooming, and playing. I love feeding and giving them treats, playing, and going for walks. I also love downtime and cuddling. I will follow your care instructions, be respectful of your home, and provide detailed updates on how your pet is doing.
About: I treat every dog like my own and know that each pup has unique needs. I have hands-on experience with puppies (patience for potty training, consistency with commands, and lots of play to burn energy!) as well as senior dogs (gentle walks, administering medication, and providing extra comfort and care). I’m attentive to body language, energy levels, and routines, so your dog feels safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or reinforcing positive training, I adapt to what works best for them. Pet parents can count on me for reliability, clear communication, and lots of photo updates—because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your best friend. As a stay-at-home mom, my days are already centered around caring for and nurturing others. Adding pets into that routine feels natural—I have the flexibility to give them the time and attention they need. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can provide frequent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love without having to squeeze it into a busy work schedule. Caring for animals fits seamlessly alongside my family life. My little ones are learning kindness and respect for pets, and your dog will feel right at home with us. I have the time, patience, and consistency to keep pets comfortable, happy, and safe while sticking to their normal routines. When dogs stay in my home for boarding, they’re treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, snuggles, and rest. I stick to their usual feeding and potty routines, so they feel comfortable and at ease. Walks, backyard play, and quiet downtime are all part of the day to keep them balanced and happy. For dog walking, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks that match each pup’s energy level. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll for a senior or a brisk walk for a playful pup, I make sure they get the right mix of exercise and attention. I always keep a close eye on their comfort and safety, and I send updates so you know your best friend is in good hands. Your dog’s needs and routines always come first—my goal is to make them feel loved, secure, and cared for, whether they’re visiting my home or I’m stopping by yours.
About: I grew up with cats and got my first dog when I was in 4th grade (after begging my parents for one for years) so I am definitely a pet/animal person. I currently work full time from home, so I’m available on my lunch breaks, evenings, and weekends. For long term pet sitting, working from home allows me to be home with your pets for most of the day! As I am a pet owner myself, it is extremely important to me that both you as the pet owner and your pet are comfortable. I am comfortable and experienced with cats and dogs of any age/size.

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 🥰”
“Monique and her family were amazing. They took in both our dogs and made the whole process simple and easy. We recorded daily updates with photos that our kids loved. We will absolutely be using Monique anytime we go out of town”
“Laura and her family went beyond the expectations to care for our dog, Mars. My dog had separation anxiety and Laura did everything she could to make sure Mars was comfortable and happy. She was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Laura is literally the best dog sitter! My dog doesn’t do well with strangers but she loves Laura and always has so much fun with her. Laura is accommodating, sends regular updates and pictures and is extremely loving and caring towards the dogs in her care. My family never worries when we leave Cleo with her. I will continue to use Laura as she is the only dog sitter that made my anxious dog feel safe and at home.”
“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.”
“Christa was the best dog sitter. She went above and beyond while taking care of Maverick and I can’t say enough good things about this experience. I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur baby.”
“Sarah took such good care of Ellie. Ellie is a rescue who has big trust issues. Sarah has such a calm and loving demeanor and I believe that Ellie felt safe right way. Sarah's little guy Max was so friendly and welcoming to Ellie. Thank you so very much Sarah! Bob and Linda Murphy”
“Irene is so wonderful! I had 2 weeks of travel planned and had just gotten a new puppy. I was so nervous about leaving him because he wasn’t fully vaccinated and needed to be kept inside. Irene was so accommodating and communicative. My dog absolutely loves her and was treated like he was a part of her family. Will be using Irene again in the next couple weeks!”
“We whole-heartedly trust Erin with our little energetic pup. He loves going there and comes back super tired from all the play time. It's also so nice to hear about her sons playing with our dog since he loves children. Erin is super sweet, nice, and is great at communicating updates/check-in photos. We couldn't be happier with her and are glad we found her on Rover.”
About: I enjoy spending lots of time playing, walking and even a little training. I have also had senior dogs that need a little extra care and attention. I am recently unemployed and have lots of time available. I would love nothing more than to help as many pets/pet parents as I can. Dogs can enjoy lots of play time and walks as well as maybe a little place time and snacks. I have had senior dogs as well that just need some down time and cuddles. I have a big fenced in backyard that allows for lots of playtime or maybe some rest in the shade.
“Samonie was great! Communicated well with me, gave updates and Nikita looked like she had a great time. Thank you so much Samonie! I would definitely leave Nikita with him again.”
“Violet and her family are the best! Diesel loves staying with them so much. Great communication. Pictures and updates. Lots of love and fetch! I couldn’t ask for more in a pet sitter”
“Maria is the best! She goes above and beyond to take care of my dog, Beni. I love seeing how happy he is to see her and getting updates on all the fun he’s having.”
“Kia was an exceptionally good communicator. He was really flexible with scheduling. I appreciate the care he gave our pups and the prep he took in reviewing their care document before their stay.”
“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!”
