About: I grew up with a medium-sized Cocker Spaniel mix who was part of my family for 17 years. I was involved in caring for him throughout his life, and during his senior years, I spent even more time by his side. I prepared his meals, helped with his daily needs, and assisted with his oxygen therapy when needed. Caring for him taught me how to be patient, gentle, and attentive to a dog’s individual needs, especially as they get older. I genuinely love animals and would care for every pet with the same patience and affection I gave my own. As a college student, my schedule varies throughout the week, but I have plenty of time outside of classes to care for pets. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and drop-in visits throughout the week. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect every pet’s individual routine and personality. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and have plenty of hands-on experience with their everyday needs, personalities, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet is different, so I always follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and care routines as closely as possible. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, especially when they’re adjusting to a new environment or being away from their family. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m generally available after work on weekdays and have much more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to plan visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Weekends are especially flexible, so I can usually accommodate longer visits or additional care as needed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and normal routine are always my priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, activity level, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m careful about doors, gates, food, household items, and anything that could create a safety risk. I also pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or behavior, and I’ll contact you promptly if I notice anything unusual. I understand that being cared for by someone new can be stressful for some pets, especially cats or more cautious animals. I never force interaction and always give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable. I follow your care instructions closely and try to keep their environment and routine as familiar as possible. I also believe trust comes from good communication, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care.

About: For nearly two decades, my neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets when they are away. I have extensive experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Not only can I take your high-energy dog for a long walk or run, I will also slow things down to give your elderly pet the time and attention they need. I’m known for never refusing a belly rub and always loving your pets like my own. I am also happy to check up on aquarium dwellers (like my client who has goldfish!) I am a professional dancer and summer is the slow season, so I have flexible hours that can fit anyone’s busy day. I am available for daytime check-ins, walks, and daycare any day of the week. My schedule easily allows for pet pickups/drop offs and house sitting. I am home most of the day to keep your dog company. If I am out of the house it usually will only be for a couple hours and I have a very friendly dog who will comfort your dog in my absence. Because I am home most of the time, I can do exercise and potty breaks as frequently as you would like.

About: Hi, my name is Karen! I’d like to say that I have a caring, compassionate, disciplined, and patient nature. My childhood consists of playing outside with my cousins and being around all of my family/extended family pets. I’ve lost one dog back in 2015 and I never wish that type of hurt for any pet owner. I got a husky back in 2016 and is now living with my sister. I trained my husky, Milo, ever since I got him at 3 months old! Training was the best part but watching him grow old is the hardest. He is now 10 years old and I often play/walk/visit him when I can! I often dog sit & walk the 3 dogs (including Milo) that live with my sister. As far as special skills, I am an ex-athlete & a consistent gym-goer. I have the agility to run, jump, and climb if necessary. As someone who had to chase and grab their husky (early training years) to prevent him from running away/getting into an accident, I can assure you I can handle and take care of your fur-baby! I’m currently a Full-Time (7AM-3:30 PM) employee in Healthcare. I’m free to dog-sit or walk your fur-baby any time after 4PM! Weekends I am flexible for dog sitting and walking! I do not have any pets in my current home. For clients homes, that’s entirely up to you and your rules. Depending on the needs of the dogs, I can watch/play/clean after them to your satisfaction!

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.

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.

About: I have a lifetime of hands on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up taking care of dogs with my family, pet sitting for friends and relatives, and I spent several years working on a farm raising animals from barn cats to Great Pyrenees mountain dogs. I most recently adopted two senior Male cats who require daily feeding, litter box refreshing, and lots of snuggles. I currently work part-time, so I have flexibility and I am willing to work with the pet's schedule to make sure they are most comfortable. My cats are indoor only, so we make sure to keep all doors closed, we keep food off the counter, and we maintain a rigorous cleaning schedule to keep the house in safe order. I will adhere to my client's requests and care for their pet like I would care for my own. I am also an Eagle Scout and a Teacher by profession.

Alexis did an amazing job looking after Mouchey -- I could tell how well he was looked after by how perky and engaged he was in every picture sent to me, as well as his bounding energy after I returned. She was also super adaptable and communicative: unexpectedly, an ant invasion occurred while I was gone, and Alexis did an outstanding job of letting me know about the situation, moving Mouchey and his items to a separate room, and containing the problem. Even when Mouchey's food was compromised, she immediately went the extra mile and offered to run to the store for a new bag so that we could toss the old one out. Her quick responsiveness and meticulous documentation allowed me to call in additional resources to clean up the issue, and she was so helpful and accommodating during the whole ordeal. Much, much gratitude for all of your help! I absolutely endorse Alexis's professionalism and competence -- I cannot understate how impressive her conduct was during this booking.

I’m so grateful I found Lauriane to help with my pup! I was taking a really stressful exam for 3 days and not once did I feel worried leaving her to care for him. My dog is not only very high energy and chaotic, but he takes medication and refuses to take his meds without a very “special” routine. Lauriane had no problem taking on the task. She sent so many cute photos and videos of him too. I would highly recommend her and I will certainly book her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in San Gabriel on Rover is $26.75 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 21,250 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Gabriel. 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 San Gabriel 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.

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.
