“Chris was an excellent house and pet sitter! She gave detailed updates and photos every day and kept all the pets on schedule with food and meds they needed to take. The house was left clean, tidy and safe when we arrived back home. Would hire again!”
“Hayley took such good care of our babies! She was communicative and we felt very at ease on our trip knowing our children were being loved on. She provided photos and daily updates. From the meet and greet we could tell right away that she really loved animals. We would highly recommend her for your next sit! Thank you, Hayley!!”
“Highly recommend Krista. She sent photos and updates throughout the day. She is very responsive and answered all my messages thoughtfully. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We will for sure call her back :)”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Avery! She took incredible care of both our dogs and our home while we were away. We came back to a clean, organized house that was above and beyond what we expected, and our pups were clearly happy, relaxed, and well-loved. Avery kept us updated with lots of great photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would not hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring.”
“We've gone with Vanessa to house-sit our Jack Russell Terrier, Maddie multiple times now and she's the best! She's quick to respond to texts and always leaves the place neat and clean. She also sends us texts and pictures of Maddie while we're gone which we love. Knowing Maddie is with Vanessa while we're gone makes our trips 100 times more enjoyable. She's awesome!”
About: Your pet is family, and I truly understand how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away. I’m a mature, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter who provides calm, attentive, and loving care in your home, hotel, or wherever you’re staying in Monterey County. I specialize in one-on-one pet sitting and focus on giving your dog my full attention. Whether you’re a local, traveling for work, or visiting the area on vacation, I’m happy to come to you — homes, hotels, vacation rentals, or other approved locations. I’m very responsible, patient, and understanding of dogs’ individual needs and personalities. My goal is to create a relaxed, safe environment so your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I enjoy meeting new people and dogs and take pride in building trust with both. You can expect consistent communication, dependability, and genuine care every step of the way. My commitment is simple: to make sure your pet is safe, happy, and very well taken care of — just as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing them with the attention and care they deserve. I offer flexible availability for in-home and hotel pet sitting throughout Monterey County. I am available weekdays and weekends and schedule my commitments around each booking to provide reliable, attentive care. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, hotels, or vacation rentals, following all instructions closely. I prioritize safety, routines, cleanliness, calm energy, and one-on-one attention to ensure pets feel secure and comfortable.
“Laura was fantastic! I have a 1 year old and an 11 year old dog, each with their own needs. She was wonderful and communicative during the 5 day I was away. I felt completely comfortable with her taking care of them. And when I came home, everything was in great shape and the dogs seemed very happy. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Jacqueline is a little shy in person but she communicated very well on text - she kept me updated daily how each of our pet were doing and sent lots of cute pictures of them! :) She also spent time playing with each pet, and they seemed very happy in the pictures. My cat is usually shy and would hide if a stranger is here but she warmed up pretty quickly to Jacqueline. Our place was also kept clean during her Stay too. Will rebook again!”
About: Long loved experience with a jack Russel, a Norwegian elkhound and a border collie. I work from home most days so I can host your pups✨ Currently working full 9-5 Monday through Friday. Currently have a border collie but she’s got a cage if needed. It’ it’ll be like a friend play date. My apartment has a decent open space with plenty of dog toys and treats to play with ~ it’s cozy and relaxing with my quiet space
“Courtney was a fantastic cat sitter. She took wonderful care of her and handled Gaia’s asthma medication with so much patience and confidence, even during those first few days when it can be a bit tricky. It was such a relief knowing Gaia was in calm, capable hands. I’m really grateful for the care and attention Courtney gave her, and I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“Will definitely be a repeat customer with Sonya, she was fantastic! She came out to meet our fur baby Milo in advance of the stay with him and spent time listening to all the details about his care, preferences, etc. that are important to us. Additionally, she was responsive throughout our communication and regularly sent us pics and updates about how Milo was doing while we were gone. She put our minds at ease. Thanks Sonia!”
“Kevin was super easy to communicate with and stayed in touch while I was out of town. He was extremely responsible and took great care of my special needs dogs. I’ll definitely re-hire Kevin!”
“This is the second time I've hired Kathleen to look after my dogs and my house. She has always been incredibly responsive and responsible. She consistently goes above and beyond both with my dogs (even hand feeds my spoiled little one when she's being stubborn) and my house (there was a leak Kathleen went out of her way to try and diagnose, she keeps my plants alive and happy, and my house spotless). I trust her completely and all my animals love her. She sends frequent updates with cute pics, and you can tell she loves all living things. My dogs love her right back and appreciate having a snuggle buddy. She's absolutely wonderful!”
“Limari was great w my pups, she was communicative and flexible with my newness to the app in a few years. The pups seems happy and the house looked better than I left it! I'll certainly be using her services in the future”
“Elizabeth always takes great care of our animals. We have complete confidence leaving our home in her capable hands. Will definitely give her a call the next time we need housesitting.”
“Jessica did a great job dog sitting for my 3 dogs. She kept their routine the same and made them comfortable while I was gone for a week. I appreciated her frequent updates and pictures.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid – we always had family animals, and I grew up feeding, walking, and bathing them. I had a Golden Retriever and a 6 years old cat so I’m used to high‑energy pups and know how to keep them happy, safe, and well‑exercised. You’ll get daily photo updates, so you can relax while you’re away. I can easily fit in walks or drop‑in visits anytime during the day, evening, or weekends. I’m available Monday through Friday from morning to night, and fully open on Saturdays and Sundays. If your pets needs extra attention (e.g., after surgery or just separation anxiety), I can even be home full‑time for a day – just let me know in advance. When I care for your pets in your home, I always start with a safety check – making sure doors, windows, and gates are secure, and removing any hazards like toxic plants or small objects. I’ll follow your feeding and guidelines precisely, and I always ask about things to look for ahead of time. You’ll get daily photo updates and a quick message after each visit – so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.
About: I come from a family that has loved and raised 3 bulldogs. Two out of three of those bulldogs were in our care starting from when they were 6 months old. Growing up, I would often have to babysit my pets when my parents went on trips. I am no stranger to big, strong dogs or how rough they like to play. I am also familiar with dogs who are not friendly with other dogs. I had a Shiba Inu and a bulldog who were not friendly with other dogs. When it comes to pets like that, I’m very careful and aware of my surroundings. I will always respect a pet’s boundaries. I understand that pets are considered family and should be treated as such. I previously lived with a family that had multiple cats in their care. I loved chilling and playing with them. Living in that house taught me that (unlike most dogs) most cats have their boundaries and will have to come to you. Pets of all sizes and breeds bring me a lot of joy. As much as I love dogs, I have a soft spot for cats and hope to have one of my own someday. I am currently unemployed and graduated college a year ago, so I have a flexible weekday schedule. Weekends are slightly restrictive since I like to allot that time for my personal life. The house I currently live in has a zero-tolerance policy for pets. However, I am capable of following instructions and caring for pets - having lived with my parents who owned dogs, cats, turtles, and hamsters as I was growing up.
“Kathy is wonderful! She’s kind, friendly, and incredibly skilled and focus with our fur bebe, Pumpkin. He’s quite shy, and she takes her time to get to know him and build trust. We look forward to more doggo care with Kathy!”
“Carrie is fantastic! Punctual, friendly, and kept us updated the entire time with great communication and attention to detail! Most importantly, she was so gentle with our senior dog, who took to her right away. Knowing that our sleepy senior is in such kind hands, brings a sense of calmness to our day. Will definitely book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East San Gabriel
I highly recommend Chris. She came in fur the meet and greet and sat right on the floor. Bob is the most shy of the 3, but he came out to see what was going on. During the stay Bob needed meds and she more than willing to try anything. She couldn't pick him up, cause they just met so it to be crushed and hidden in his food. When I returned I couldn't even tell she had been here. Fabulous!
Hayley took such good care of our babies! She was communicative and we felt very at ease on our trip knowing our children were being loved on. She provided photos and daily updates. From the meet and greet we could tell right away that she really loved animals. We would highly recommend her for your next sit! Thank you, Hayley!!
another wonderful housesit with Celest! we needed someone to housesit for us on the afternoon and evening of our wedding reception and thankfully, Celest was able to! she was on time, responsive, and forth coming in all her communications with us and sent photos throughout the night. she has such great calm energy that Nebula really responds to. we returned home to a very happy dog and tidy house. we appreciate you, Celest! thanks again!
Was our first time using Chloe and she stayed 4 days with our fur baby! We were so happy with her and she spoiled him with daily walks, cuddles and playtime! She sent pictures of him and he always looked so happy with her. She went beyond what we asked and came home to a happy boy and a clean house. ( which wasn’t expected)
This was my first time using Rover. I was very concerned as my older dog had some health issues arise right before I left. Alvin was amazing. He was constantly advising me about my dogs and any change of normal behavior. He was able to take care of the meds she needed and all was good. I was also surprised my dogs went for walks with him, as I was certain they would not go with someone else. He truly cared that my dogs were healthy including mentally making sure they had activity. He stayed at my house and left it the same condition I left it. I would highly recommended using Alvin and plan to use him again on my next trip. He also took care of watering my plants while I was gone.
Kelsey last-minute covered for us for a week when our sitter fell through. She came to meet us at a momemt's notice and our dog immediately took to her. Sje also happens to be a wonderfully kind person. She was so responsive and responsible with our dog and our home. So much so that we asked her to come back for another week! Don't hesitate to book with Kelsey- she's worth it and I promise you won't be disappointed.
Wendy is amazing! Last minute plans because of a death in the family had us searching for a sitter for our two recently rescued pups. Wendy promptly answered my inquiry and didn't bat an eye when we said that we were still learning about our new dogs. She jumped right in and made us feel comfortable about leaving for our memorial service out of state. Wendy has great communication, sends lot of pictures, and took great care of the dogs and our home. She is a prompt professional who takes each dog sitting opportunity seriously. I recommend Wendy for your dog sitting needs! Plus, she's just a friendly and caring person.
Stephanie is a super star sitter! Our dog is sweet but has separation anxiety. Stephanie made her so comfortable that Etta was all smiles in all of her check in photos and videos. This helped us fully enjoy our trip knowing our pup was in great hands. Also, the photos and videos Stephanie sent were so cute, well captioned, and well-timed. I had some detailed instructions and Stephanie followed them all excellently. Her excellent communication and understanding helped manage my own anxieties about leaving Etta at home. She was extremely clean and left our place looking great. Also very reliable, professional, and punctual. My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience and would 100% work with Stephanie again!

FAQs for House Sitting - East San Gabriel
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East San Gabriel on Rover is $41.1 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 15,178 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East San Gabriel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred East San Gabriel walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in East San Gabriel maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East San Gabriel choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East San Gabriel. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
