Lauriane was amazing! She was so patient and kind with our dogs and they seemed really comfortable with her right off the bat. It’s never easy being away from our pups, but knowing they’re in such good hands made me feel so much better. We will definitely reach out again!

I’m so grateful for the amazing care Amanda provided for my cat during the drop-in visit. She stayed for 1 hour and 47 minutes—even though it was only supposed to be a 60 minute visit! That really shows how much she cares. She made sure my cat was fed, had clean water, cleaned the litter box, and spent quality time playing and comforting her. I received thoughtful updates and cute photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and truly dedicated pet sitter!

My kitties warmed up quickly to Cristina, and she did a wonderful job taking care of them. I was out of town for a couple weeks but had a change of plans a few times. Cristina was very accommodating and worked with my changing schedule. She was great about sending pictures and videos, and I would hire her again in the future!

About: Hi! My name is Jing, and I’m so excited to care for your furry family members while you’re away 💕 I live with my family in a house with a fully fenced front yard and a safe small backyard, perfect for dogs to relax and play. Even better, there is a park just a 1-minute walk away, making daily walks very convenient and enjoyable for the dogs. 🐾 My Care Style I’m a patient and loving home-style caregiver, and I treat every dog who stays with me like part of my own family. 🐕 Every day, I provide at least: • 2 outdoor walks • 2 play sessions in the front/back yard • Activity levels adjusted based on each dog’s age and energy 🧠 In my home, I also have: • Snuffle mats • Puzzle toys • Various interactive toys All toys are cleaned and sanitized regularly so dogs can play safely and happily. 🐾 About Crate Use I personally do not encourage long-term crate confinement, and I will never place a dog in a crate without the owner’s permission. I prefer to let dogs move freely and safely in the home so they can feel relaxed and comfortable. However, if your dog is used to crate time or needs a crate for safety, rest, or training purposes, 👉 I’m happy to provide a crate or use one you bring, as long as this is discussed and approved in advance. 🏡 Cleanliness & Safety Cleanliness and safety are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment every day so your dog can feel at home and at ease. 🍓 Optional Add-On Services (Additional Fee) If requested in advance, I can also offer the following extra services: • 🦷 Teeth cleaning care • 🍎 Fruit & yogurt treats (only with your permission and if there are no allergies) • 🍗 Homemade fresh food service: I can prepare simple, healthy homemade meals based on your instructions (ingredients, portions, and allergies must be discussed in advance) ❤️ My Philosophy I truly enjoy spending time with pets and deeply value the trust owners place in me. My goal is simple: 👉 For every dog to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while staying with me. I look forward to meeting your furry friend soon 🐾💕 — Jing 🐶 A Typical Day in My Care Every pup in my home enjoys a warm, structured, and loving routine: 🌞 Morning – We start the day with a refreshing walk at the park just a minute from my house, followed by breakfast and a little playtime in the yard. 🌤️ Midday – After a cuddle or brushing session, we’ll head out again for another walk (unless it’s extremely hot—then we’ll keep it short and stay cool indoors with the AC on). 🌿 Afternoon – Free time to nap, play with toys, or just relax in a cozy corner. I’m always home, so your pup is never left alone. If they enjoy company, I’ll engage them with gentle play and lots of love. 🌆 Evening – Another walk before dinner, followed by more family time together. On weekends, I love taking dogs for a bigger park outing, so they can explore, sniff, and meet new friends. 🌙 Night – After a final potty break in the yard, your pup can settle down for a calm and restful night. I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their chosen sleeping spot. ✨ Throughout the day, I’ll send you updates with photos or videos, so you can feel close and reassured while your pup enjoys their “home away from home.” 🏡 A Safe & Trustworthy Home for Your Pup Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Our home has a secure fenced yard and a peaceful garden, where pups can play freely without worry. Indoors, the environment is calm, clean, and air-conditioned on hot days, so your furry friend will always feel cool and comfortable. Because I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone. I watch over them throughout the day—whether they’re napping, playing, or enjoying time outside. Every pup gets gentle supervision and loving care, so you can relax knowing they are safe and happy. I treat every dog like family, providing both freedom and structure. With daily walks, plenty of cuddle time, and consistent updates for you, you can fully trust that your pup is in a secure, loving, and reliable home. ❤️

About: here's two of us. We show up together, so your pet gets double the attention and you get a built-in backup if anything comes up. Between us we've got experience with cats and dogs, and we actually live with a cat and dog, so this isn't a side hustle — it's just an extension of what we already do every day. Pet care isn't something we squeeze in between other things — we plan our week around it. We're local, we're flexible, and since there's two of us, we can almost always make it work even on short notice. We follow your instructions to the letter. Photo updates every visit. We notice if something's off. Your home stays exactly how you left it. Simple as that.

About: Hi there, I am a full time stay at home mama of two. I have a beautiful german shepherd mix that is so good with other dogs. She was my first baby. I have enough space for your dog to run and be safe. If you have a cat your cat can be safe in the house. I have been caring for dogs for twelve years. I was raised on what I call a farm. We had ducks, dogs, cats, fish and even a goat at one point. When boarding your pet at my house you can count on walks, attention, and pictures sent to you. I truly love animals and care for them as if they are my own. You can rest assure your furry baby will be in good hands. Every morning I take my little ones on a walk. My babies and furry baby. We get back from the walk and enjoy some outside time. We love the outdoors. So your pup will have company and plenty of outdoor time. Safety is my number one priority. I make sure your pet is comfortable and feels welcome. I will give your pup the time and attention.

About: Senior cat mom skilled at managing: hijinks, special diets & administering medication (oral/topical)*! I treat all fur babies with the same love & meticulous attention I give my own 🐱🐶 It can be nervewracking being away from your pet, but not to worry — I give LOTS of updates & always confirm before doing anything outside of your care instructions. $20 off 1st booking: KATHYV57281 (even if not with me! 🤗) *I am not trained in administering injectable medication. Therefore, I only offer oral and topical med admin; I will never risk your pet’s safety just to make a bit of extra money. Thank you for understanding! 💛 I work 100% remote in SGV, so I’m able to housesit anywhere with a strong internet connection. I love taking midday breaks to come dote on your pets ❤️ Same-day Saturday & Sunday drop in visits available upon request. I’m all about keeping your pets safe and happy. At home, I double-check doors, windows, & all other potential escape routes to prevent escape acts and keep curious pets out of tricky spots. On walks, I use secure gear, avoid hazards like hot pavement or busy areas, and always watch for stress or discomfort. After I take your pet back home, I always do a perimeter scan for toxic flowers, food, and choking hazards to ensure your pet will remain safe even after I leave. If any issues arise, you will be the first to know — I will leave a detailed text, call, and voicemail along with immediately reporting them to Rover.

She would try to plan ahead for the visits and was also patient while working with me to troubleshoot any unexpected issues. I would definitely have Amanda take care of my boys again and would recommend her to others

Christina took care of our kitties for 8 days while we were away on vacation. I can not begin to explain how attentive, caring and kind she was. She went out of her way to make sure our cats were happy and was super communicative throughout the whole process. During her meet and greet visit, she listened carefully to our instructions and asked many questions. Which reassured me that I was leaving my cats in capable and loving hands. Without a doubt I will be contacting Christina for my future trips. Thank you for everything.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - San Gabriel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in San Gabriel on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 9,524 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across San Gabriel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
