“Emily took amazing care of our two kitties while we were away, and made sure to play with them each time she stopped by to visit. They warmed up to her so quickly, and she shared amazing photos of them enjoying their time with her throughout our trip!”

“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.”

He was quick to communicate and followed our directions for his ongoing loose leash walking training! (My corgi pup, Kahi, loves to pull and eat everything off the ground) Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.

She came over before we booked to meet and make sure we were comfortable. She was very responsive with messages and sent pictures and detailed summaries of visits! We will definitely book with Kristine in the future!”

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.

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 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: Dogs big and small, I’ve handled them all! Whatever you need from me, I can do. When you grow up raising dogs, it becomes second nature. I’m a part-time student, but my class load is no sweat! I can work any day except Saturday. M - after 4 pm T - after 7 pm W - after 2 pm Th - after 7 pm F - after 12 pm Sat - n/a Sun - after 12 pm Just give me any instructions or specifications, and I’ll follow them right down to the letter. You won’t have to tell me anything twice, swear.

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.

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 have years of experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, playtime, walks, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I care for pets like they're my own — with patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love. I work full-time during the week, but I'm especially flexible on Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends, and I'm happy to coordinate before/after-work visits to fit your pet's routine. I follow your instructions closely — including feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines — and I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and other areas secure. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and will let you know right away if I notice anything unusual. You can also expect regular photo and video updates throughout the stay, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I had a German Shepherd for 10 years and have also been taking care of my daughter’s cats and her Bernese Mountain Dog on weekdays for many years. I’m very caring and patient, with a lot of experience caring for pets. I’m currently a full-time pet sitter, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! I have extensive experience caring for pets, and I treat them like my own. I have a fenced backyard at my home where pets can play and run freely and safely! If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I will carefully follow all instructions to ensure their pups are well cared for.

About: I've been taking care and looking after dogs since I was a kid. I have an uncanny ability to find a dog's sweet spot and become best buds. With my flexible schedule, your dog (or any pet) will be properly taken care of and looked after for walks, pets, playtime, lunch/dinnertime, and even naps, even at short notice. I believe your furry friends are very good boys and girls, and I'll always remind them of that every time I see them! I'll take care of them as if they were my own with the love and attention they deserve while providing you with the updates you request and need. Looking forward to becoming your furry friend's new friend! (P.S. Please tell your dog I said hi!) My schedule is extremely flexible, maximizing the amount of time your furry friends want and need. I'm available most every day, including holidays (except Christmas), and even on short notice. I request to meet you and your pets beforehand to get to know both of you and what your expections and needs are as an owner. Whether it's housesitting, a drop-in, or a walk, I will treat your home, like your pet, as if it were my own, while respecting the rules of your home that you provide. I will also provide any updates regarding your pets upon request and as needed. Should any unforseen circumstances arise or an extra hand is needed, my girlfriend is also a very experienced pet sitter and can step in, if needed.

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.

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.
