“Grace is such a sweet and amazing sitter! She has communicated with me so kindly throughout the entire stay, sends regular photo updates, and follows instructions to a T—and I gave her a lot of instructions! Gemma can be very shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but Grace has been incredibly patient and has worked completely at her pace to make sure she feels safe and comfortable. I can see how much effort Grace is putting into earning her trust, and it’s been so sweet to see Gemma start to open up to her. She’s even managed to put a smile on my shy girl’s face by entertaining her with toys! 🥹❤️ I’m so grateful for Grace and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and trustworthy sitter.”

“Zihui was an absolutely incredible care taker, going above and beyond in communication, care, and attention to detail. She was open to all of our instructions, and let me know if there was anything out of the ordinary. She was also very detailed in her Rover reports. I really do feel like she took care of our cat as if it was one of her own.”

About: I am one of the few sitters in the area that does boarding, drop-ins, and walks, so no matter what your pet sitting needs are, I have you covered and can be a familiar face for your pet to feel at home!

I’m also happy to check in on your cats, refill their food and water, clean their litter boxes, and give them some attention while you’re away. Every pet has their own personality, and I’m happy to go with the flow and follow their usual routine. Whether they want to play, go for a walk, or just hang out, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for! 💛 I work a hybrid schedule but mostly WFH, so I have a pretty flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits! Since I have a dog and cat of my own, taking care of pets is already part of my daily routine. I can usually fit visits in throughout the day and am happy to work around you and your pet’s schedule! I am one of the few sitters in the area that does boarding, drop-ins, and walks, so no matter what your pet sitting needs are, I have you covered and can be a familiar face for your pet to feel at home!

About: Working as a teacher and pet sitter have taught me many of the same skills: patience, communication, responsibility, and genuine care. I’ve traveled across the U.S. to pet sit for both cats and dogs, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m attentive to owners’ instructions and take their trust seriously. Whether it’s keeping up with a feeding schedule, making sure a dog gets plenty of exercise, or giving a shy cat some extra space and patience, I do my best to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and always aim to leave a place as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time before and after work to provide attentive care, and I’m generally able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s needs. I live a calm lifestyle and enjoy spending time at home, so pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a safe, comfortable home with a backyard where pets can get some fresh air and space to explore. I also live right next to a park with a designated pet area and plenty of greenery, which makes it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor time. I want pets in my care to feel comfortable and at home, while also following their owner’s routines, instructions, and preferences.

She deals with my crazy dog (a german shepherd rescue) and my dog isn't easy to handle but she is so loving towards her and keeps me updated with cute pictures and anything that comes up in the visit. I can't recommend her enough. If you need a sitter, just hit book now! You won't regret it.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, my whole life, from puppies to seniors, only had one cat, and now have a pet bunny, sweet boy who is about five years old, so I’m very experienced with rabbits. As mentioned, I’m a full-time bun mom, and currently working in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The rest of the week is pretty flexible. my rabbit is a free roam pet, so he has access to the room living room, and wherever he feels comfortable. If needed, he can be contained in my bedroom meanwhile a dog or cat can be welcomed in my living room.

About: Hi, I’m Xinlan! 🐾 I have over five years of experience caring for pets, including helping friends, neighbors, and family with feeding, walks, and companionship. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I want you to feel comfortable sharing all the little details—their favorite game, their bedtime routine, or what helps when they’re feeling nervous. Those things matter to me, too. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and give your pet time to settle in at their own pace. Whether they enjoy playtime, affection, or a little space, I’ll respect what makes them comfortable. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. 📸💛 I'm currently a grad student with a flexible schedule. I only have two afternoon classes a week, and the rest of my time is spent at home, making it easy for me to dedicate time to caring for pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my one-year-old cat, who is friendly and well-socialized. I provide a safe, cozy, and loving environment for pets and do not believe in crating animals unless specifically requested by the owner. I ensure that pets feel comfortable, cared for, and free to roam in a stress-free environment.

About: I do not have any current certificates but I am looking to make some extra cash while attending school. I have dogsat many times before. While I was active duty it was supplemental income to watch other service members’ dogs. I am currently in school and have a lot of extra free time. Unfortunately it is not consistently the same so a part time job cannot meet the flexibility that I require. Im very communicative and can offer a pet cam or I can follow even the most meticulous instructions. I can include a bit of leash control training even during a simple walk. Every walk or pet sitting will have a bit extra TLC.

About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Having owned three dogs throughout my life and currently raising a pug, I’m experienced with the patience, attention, and care dogs need to feel comfortable and happy! Friends have trusted me to care for their pets and I take the responsibility seriously in understanding the importance of providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment while owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to their routines, comfort, and individual needs. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel confident and at ease. Trust me and I’ll be sure to give your pet lots of love and care. ☺️ I’m currently working from home and already am caring for my own dog which makes it easy for me to care for yours! I can open my space for daycare until 6pm, walk your dogs in the morning and/or afternoon, or do drop in visits to check on your furry friend. I have a friendly pug to keep your furry baby company! I usually take him on walks around 7am, 12pm, and 5:30pm in which your pet will join along. My neighborhood is filled with other dog lovers and am close by to parks to do more scenic walks with your pet. My apartment is also big enough to crate or fence off if needed.

I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She was incredibly caring, attentive, and responsible throughout the entire time. She kept me updated with regular photos and videos, made sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them as her own. As a pet owner, being away from your fur baby can be stressful, but she gave me so much peace of mind. I’m truly grateful for her care and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, thoughtful, and dependable to look after their pets!

Don’t look further, hire Olivia. And please read this review 🙏🏽 Not only has Olivia taken care of my sweet baby Piffy for the past year with the upmost care and expertise, but she took her to the vet and sat in the room with her when she had to be put down after developing female leukemia. She FaceTimed me because I was states away and couldn’t be with my baby in her last moments. 🐱🪽🥺 And THEN… she drove her back to my apartment for me to say my goodbyes to her when I got home…. Like are you serious? An angel is an understatement. If I ever get another pet I will never hire anyone else. Olivia deserves the world. Please bless her and hire her forever. I can never thank her enough. 🥺💖 Piffy loves Olivia forever. 🐱🪽💖🐾

Cristina did an amazing job caring for my two kitties while I was on a three week vacation. This was the longest I had been away from my cats so I was worried they would be stressed, but they loved Cristina immediately and were instantly comfortable with her. Cristina even brought new toys to keep them entertained. I had so much peace of mind with Cristina caring for my cats. Cristina was communicating with me the entire time I was away and working with her was a breeze. I will definitely book with her again!

Zihui is the best! Daily sitter for my 3 cats! I traveled out of the country for 7 days and I was so comfortable and at ease with Zihui coming over to my residence for daily drop ins. Zihui sent daily photos of my 3 cats; Her updates were very detailed with feeding schedules for each one and behavior patterns for each one. Zihui has a big heart for pets! She is very caring and within a short time she fell in love with my cats. My cats became comfortable with her. It brought joy to me knowing that my 3 babies (cats) were well taken care of. I will 100% recommend her to my family and friends . I will be booking her for future drop ins. Thank you Zihui

FAQs for Pet Sitting - San Gabriel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Gabriel is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $41 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 21,186 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Gabriel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 San Gabriel. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

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