About: I have loved animals since I was a child and have always grown up in a household with many different pets. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and care. I frequently pet sit for family and friends, and they often rely on me to pet sit because they know I am responsible, loving, and caring. I enjoy spending time with animals, keeping them comfortable and safe, and making sure they receive the love, attention, and fun they need while their owners are away! I’m a student athlete, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. I’m available for boarding pretty much everyday, my schedule can vary depending on my sports schedule which is only a few hours throughout the day, so feel free to send me a quick message with the time you need care, and I can confirm my availability. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and provide whatever they need to feel comfortable, whether that means having their own space, being separated from my pets, getting extra attention, or having plenty of playtime. For dogs, I can provide walks, exercise, and trips to the dog park when appropriate. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home and follow their usual routines. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while their owner is away.

This is our second time using Julio, and he has been a great find. The first time we used Julio he had to administer medicine to our cat that was not doing well. He also had to care for our second cat who was fine and tended to our dog. Julio handled it all like a champ. He is very personable and great at what he does. Thank you Julio! We will be using your services again my friend!

About: 23 years of experience, but dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! We can talk price adjustment after the first booking 😉❤️ I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.

About: I love the companionship and love that fur babies give. I am guilty of spoiling my friends' dogs and cats with unconditional affection. Getting outside or popping in to make your dog or cat smile is good for the soul: Your fur baby’s and mine. Trips to the park, play dates, people watching are some of the activities I enjoy. I have been around dogs, cats, and birds all of my life. I know how meaningful they are to you and to families. I used to live in apartments that did not allow dogs, so I would walk friends' dogs or sit for them to fill that void. When I lived in Hollywood, I was the Go-To stay in Cat sitter while clients were on vacation. I recently cared for my former roommate and her son’s cat Lilly! I miss her! Your fur and feather babies will love me! I work 4 shifts out of the week. I generally work during the day, but occasionally one or two nights. My schedule varies on a weekly basis, but I am very flexible. I always show up on time. I love to have a few minutes of bonding time before I take a dog on a walk. When I work with cats, I let them come to me and become familiar with me on their terms. I always clean up after pets. I am diligent about that. Overall, I let all fur babies learn to trust me, and I will care for them.

About: I have 14 years of experience taking care of my dog. I practically grew up with him. As I got older I took responsibility over him. Walking him everyday, feeding him and always making sure he had clean water. I also managed to train him when he was older. So I learned that you can teach an old dog new tricks. I have also taken care of my next door neighbor's dog. They have always asked me when then leave for a trip. I currently take care of my brother's small dog. I'm currently not working and have plenty of time. I go on runs in the morning and like to keep active throughout the day. I have a fenced home and nice walking areas nearby. I'll take what a need for a proper dog walk and making should your pet is happy and safe

About: I've had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I have my own dog who has been my everything for 14 years now. I have also volunteered for Petco’s Love Cat Adoption Program, which included feeding, cleaning their area, and socializing with various types of cats. In addition, I regularly take care of my neighbors’ cats. I grew up with horses and was a horseback rider for a decade, so I learned from an early age the importance of patience and responsibility that comes with caring for animals. I believe every animal deserves love, safety, and care. I’m happy to visit your dog or cat based on their routine and needs. I will gladly send you pictures and updates of your beloved pet. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I am happy to play, pet, cuddle with your pet, and will treat your pet like my own. I am available most days of the week, so I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. With my flexible schedule, I can provide dependable, attentive care, companionship, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles. I provide personalized care by following your pet's routine, keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment, and making their transition into my care as smooth and natural as possible. I will follow your instructions closely while taking the time to understand your pet's needs, preferences, and personality. Whether it's playing with their favorite toy, going on walks, or simply providing companionship, I'm happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. In addition, being welcomed into your home is something I view as a major responsibility and take very seriously. While you are away, I will always treat your home with the utmost respect.

About: I train puppy’s & adult pups. I love using walks to engage & direct while having a blast! Their personalities are always worth it. All pups are different & I pay close attention to that. Someday they’ll want a 20 min walk, other days they might need a lil more & Im perfectly ok with that. I work part time but I’m an early riser. I have time in the afternoons & evenings to play, walk, drop in or whatever you pup may need. I also have a few hours in the morning on the hotter days. I’m familiar & comfortable with creating & creat training. Im patient & loving, what a pups needs especially if their humans aren’t around. However you run your home, is exactly what you’ll get from me. I also usually carry treats & I’ll double check everything with you before offering your pup any.

Luis took great care of our dogs! We needed a sitter last minute as all of our usual sitters were unavailable, and one of our dogs had a hurt paw and I didn't want to leave her in a kennel. He was very professional and communicated well, both before and during our trip. Most importantly, the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. We would definitely book Luis again.

This is our second time booking with her and it’s been a blessing to have someone we trust and feel comfortable with watching our cats while we are out of town. I would book her more often but I only really go away once a year. She is the first person I’d think of if I need a sitter for any of my cats or dogs.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Bell Gardens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bell Gardens on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 21,628 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bell Gardens. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bell Gardens stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bell Gardens. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
