Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in West Side, Long Beach, CA

“Arya’s first drop in visit with Melissa was a success! Melissa made a great first impression immediately, so leaving her with my fur baby didn’t make me feel so guilty. Her calm and sweet demeanor was exactly what I wanted in a cat sitter. I was pleasantly surprised to receive pictures of Arya looking content on the couch, it was a relief to see her look so relaxed with a new person. I’ll definitely be using Melissa again and was just so pleased I had to give her a shout out. Thank you Melissa!”

About: Hi, I'm Abby! I've been an animal lover my whole life, and I've been taking care of pets in various settings (in-home, daycare, boarding, dog-walking) for more than ten years. I specialize in multiple-pet households, but whether you have one pet or five, rest assured they'll each receive the best care possible. I'm extremely detailed (I love a comprehensive info sheet!), and I ask the right questions up front, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time and energy to devote to your pets. I prefer to work weekdays, Monday-Friday, but I am also available for longer in-home stays over the weekend with enough notice. I take your pet's health and safety very seriously, which is why I make sure I understand not only what their immediate needs are (food, water, exercise, enrichment), but also what potential stressors might be (loud noises, other animals, etc.). I gather as much information as I can up front, so I can anticipate your pet's needs as they arise. Knowing where the cleaning materials, trash, emergency numbers, and security items (crate, leash, carrier) are in your home gives ME peace of mind and makes my job that much easier. Once I have all the info I need, while you're gone, I can check back in with you as much or as little as you prefer -- I'm happy to send updates throughout the day, or I'm just as happy to take care of things myself and provide a summary when you return. Either way, I make sure both you and your pet(s) enjoy your time away!

“Hannah took great care of my 2 kittens while I was out of town. Was reliable, on time, and sent photos and updates. I would not hesitate to book again!”

“It’s so stressful finding someone to take care of your pets while you’re away so I’m glad I found Hannah to look after my two cats. It usually takes a bit for my cats to trust new people and I even told her one of the cats probably won’t want to interact with her this first time she watches them, but much to my surprise they warmed up to her right away and begged her for pets while she was there! It was such a relief knowing my cats were getting some love and attention while we were gone. Hannah is a wonderful pet sitter and I’m sure my cats are looking forward to seeing her again.”

“Had a wonderful experience with April ❤️ she was very accommodating with my requests. Personally, did not do a meet and greet but honestly there was no need, she was super respectful and gentle meeting my baby for the first time. Communicative and reliable, can’t recommend enough 😊”

Mayumi T.

“Julia was awesome. She was great with communication and very respectful and professional. Julia went above and beyond to take Toby out on a walk to a park to help avoid other dogs since Toby isn’t the friendliest with other dogs. Will definitely be rebooking her in the future as long as she is on rover. Thank you so much again Julia.”

About: Hi there! My love for animals started when I got my first dog at 12 years old, and ever since then pets have been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for my siblings’ dogs and cats whenever they travel, and I’ve learned how important it is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I’ll make sure your furry friend is fed on time, walked regularly, and given lots of attention and care—just as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddle breaks, I’m dedicated to keeping tails wagging and pets comfortable until you’re back home. Currently working part time on the weekends and just graduated college, so I have plenty of time on the weekdays to fit your fur babies in my daily schedule! I have two dogs at home who are well cared for! One is 16 years old and the other is 3 months! Crate trained and potty trained by me.

About: Growing up as an only child, I surrounded myself with animals. I've cared for 2 dogs in my lifetime and other pets such as guinea pigs, fish and currently have a chinchilla.

About 6 years ago I rescued 3 kittens when they were only a few hours old with the umbilical cords still on. I bottle fed, and raised them to be full grown cats. One, unfortunately, has a genetic heart condition, I administer medication twice daily. I recently received my Certificate of Completion in Animal Care and Veterinary Assisting and I completed my internship at Long Beach Animal Care Services, which includes walking dogs, basic command and leash- walking training, cleaning, animal restraint for DVM exams, prepping for surgery, monitoring ill patients, assisting with regular in-take exams, vaccinating/ medicating/ microchipping, & caring for animals overall health and well-being. On weekdays, I am currently available for early morning walks 6AM-8AM, or evening walks 5:30PM - 8PM. On Saturdays & Sundays I am available anytime to care for and walk your pets.

“Mario took excellent care of my American Bully Reggie. Mario was professional, polite, on time and kept me updated with great pics!! He was responsible & followed my instructions perfectly. I am brand new to Rover and he was patient with me & helped walked me through the steps I needed to book him with ease. Mario did 3 drop in visits for me over the past weekend. Reggie won't eat when we are not home, so it was such a comfort knowing he was going to drop in and Reggie would eat, get some play time, loving & some training. Mario definitely knows how to handle dogs, his passion shines & his training skills come in handy. I will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him. Thank you so much Mario.”

About: I've taken care of pets of all kinds since I was a teen (dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents) and was a cat owner for 10 years. I'm currently a stay at home mom so I am home most days with my younger daughter. When we leave the house, we're usually back in 1-3 hours max. So your pet will have lots of supervision and interaction! Our home is still set up as a cat's home. We can provide a quiet dark space if that's what they like or they can be out playing with cat toys and interacting with us if they prefer that! Our front and back doors are always closed and locked, so your cat will always be safely inside.

About: I’ve taken care of and nurtured 3 dogs and 5 cats from in our family home. I am quickly becoming the go-to pet sitter around the neighborhood during vacations or trips at any time of the year. I am available most days, Sundays through Saturdays due to my open and flexible schedule. I am unavailable on the weekends from time to time, but we can always work around that! Diligently provide all needs for your pet above and beyond feeding. Walks, play-time, administration of medications if needed and cleaning up are all part of my service offering! While also making sure the security and cleanliness of the house is maintained.

“Jennifer took care of my special needs cat and my 3 other cats. She was there morning and night and gave medicine to the diabetic cat I have. I shall be using her again in the near future.”

About: I've had a lifelong passion for caring for animals, starting from a young age when I helped take care of our family pets. My love for animals led me to take in strays, ensuring they received the care they needed. Over the years, I've become the go-to person for friends and neighbors, watching their pets while they're out of town. These animals quickly become a part of my family, seamlessly joining the pack and receiving the same love and attention as my own pets. I'm available daily including weekends and holidays if I am not out of town. Thus able to care for your pets throughout the day. :) When it comes to the safety and trust of your pets, I take it very seriously. I have a secure, fenced yard where your fur babies can play and explore safely. With two friendly dogs of my own, your pets will have great company during their stay. If needed, I can easily crate your dog to ensure their comfort and security. My top priority is providing a safe and loving environment where your pets can feel at home.

About: Loving pet caregiver in Long Beach! I have a German Shepard mixed who is reactive, energized and loves to chase squirrels, but my whole life I’ve lived with dogs small to big. I can handle pulling as well as some chasing. With a love for all breeds and sizes, I provide safe, fun, and engaging walks for your furry friends. I understand each dog is unique, so I tailor each walk to fit their personality and energy level! Im here to help pet parents who may not have the time to give their dog a walk or need to make sure their pups (or cats) are doing well! I am also active on the wag platform! I provide pet care during my free time! I work part time with a randomized schedule and I also attend school during Wednesday and Thursday! I provide walks and drops in for fur parents who may be too busy and need a lil help. I usually do wag but decided to give rover a shot, so I have experience walking different type of dogs.

About: I have had experience caring for both cats and dogs throughout my life. I even worked as a travel house and pet sitter for a year with Trusted House Sitters.
