About: I've been caring for my own dog for the past 14 years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a dog's life—from a playful puppy to a senior companion. Over the years, I've handled daily walks, feeding, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, administering medications when needed, and making sure my dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. As a teenager, I also walked dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, which helped me become comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and walking styles. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I'll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own 14-year-old dog every day, making time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of love and attention. Because caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, I'm happy to fit additional walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting into my schedule. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I always make it a priority to be dependable and ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care their pet requires. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment while you're away. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean and secure and providing updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and loved until you return home!

About: **Available to travel outside the service area, please ask** (I sit primarily in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina, but I welcome requests outside this area. I'm also looking for a cat sit near Montpellier / Nimes [Southern France area] starting in March 2027.) Hi pet owners! When it's time for you to play or travel -- I'll make sure your pets still get the fun or relaxing time they deserve, too. My name is Jane. As a self employed tutor and photographer, I have created a flexible lifestyle that allows me to stay active and to travel. I walk, cycle, swim, and go to the gym regularly. I love to explore new places and nature. And life is just more fun with animals in it! Growing up in the beautiful Bahamas, I spent a lot of time outdoors and on the water with my dad. I’ve always been a "water baby" – I love snorkeling, diving, and boating. And of course, we always had pets! My first dog was an Alsatian German shepherd, and we had about five cats, along with a Red-crowned Amazon Parrot that I taught to say phrases in a few different languages. We also had a Macaw that lived outside near a huge birdcage my dad built for our other five-plus species of birds. When I moved to the States, I brought back a "potcake" dog after a summer visit to the Bahamas. Potcakes are mixed-breed rescue dogs commonly found there. In Florida, we also had a variety of animals – from ferrets to ducks, geese, and even homing pigeons! I love to travel, and I always look forward to spending time with pets whenever I can. I’ll take great care of your pet right in the comfort of your home! Whether that means going for walks, having playtime, or just hanging out, I’m here for it. If your pet loves adventures, the ocean, or exploring, we’ll both be over the moon! And if your kitty is more into cuddling or keeping their distance (cats, right? 😄), I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. Just let me know what makes your pet happy, and I’ll make sure they get exactly what they need. I’ve also got experience administering medicine, including daily puffs for an asthmatic kitty. I’m here to keep your fur babies happy and healthy!

About: Hi! I’m Isabella! I’ve always been a big dog person and have had dogs around me for most of my life. I’ve cared for dogs of all different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I honestly enjoy getting to know each one and figuring out what makes them comfortable and happy. I’m pretty attentive when it comes to dogs, so I pay attention to the little things, whether that’s their normal routine, how they act around new people, what they like to do on walks, or when they just seem a little off. I’m also someone who would much rather send you too many pictures than have you wonder what your dog is doing while you’re away. I’m happy to keep their normal routine as much as possible and give them plenty of attention while you’re gone. I’m also the owner of Proc & Paws, a local pet-care business, so caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. When you’re away, my goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and for you to feel like you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’d love to meet you and your pup! My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to give pets plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I offer walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays and can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m happy to keep their usual feeding, walking, potty, medication, and bedtime schedules as consistent as possible. My goal is for your pet’s day to feel as normal as it would if you were home. I especially love overnight stays because I get to really settle into a pet’s routine, whether that means an early morning walk, a midday potty break, dinner at their usual time, or winding down together at night. I’ll always chat with you beforehand about your pet’s schedule and what they’re used to so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’m very attentive when it comes to both pets and the homes I’m caring for. Before a stay, I like to know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, personality, and anything else that will help me take the best care of them. I’m also mindful of the little things around the house while you’re away. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep things clean and picked up, and treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine. If there’s anything you’d like me to take care of while I’m there, like bringing in mail or packages, watering plants, or taking out the trash, I’m always happy to help. And of course, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: Currently working from home full time. Any animal interaction is great for me. I love all animals. I have two cats, that are very chill and love all dogs. I love playing fetch, going on walks or just sitting at home and cuddling on the couch together. Dogs are family members and best friends. I can give them baths as frequently as needed and any other special tasks they might require, I am your girl for this job! I work from home with a few set meetings throughout the week, however, I am able to work around those times as they are not typically longer than 60 minutes. i have no issues staying at a customers house to ensure their baby is comfortable and happy. I love cuddling with dogs in bed, on the couch or wherever! I can also read when space is needed :)

About: I am an exceptional choice for someone to take care of your pet(s). I am friendly, attentive, and respectful, always putting your pets safety and wellbeing first. I am a lover of all animals and things “friend-shaped.” I have 3 family dogs and adopted my cat, Venus, 5 years ago. I’ve grown up my entire life with at least 2 dogs in the home at the same time, and the most being 6. My family began rescuing pitbulls in 2007, so growing up with dogs, especially large ones, allows me to feel extremely comfortable around them and understand their body language. I have lived with dogs of all sizes and have lived with multiple cats at time. I would love to help you feel comforted while you are away from home, by knowing that your pet(s) is/are in loving and careful hands. This is a fun fact, but when I was 16, my friends and I fundraised $2,000 within 3 days to donate towards a local shelter, including food, bedding, and other items. I have a reliable means of transportation and I am currently working a part-time, completely remote and flexible job, so I would be able to work around your schedule fully. I wake up early, so I can do early morning walks, drop-ins, or house sit early in the morning. Just let me know. I can adapt to any requirements necessary for your dog/cat. For dogs, I would prefer to walk them with a harness rather than just a collar. I can take your cat on a walk too, if they are comfortable with it—either with a well-fit harness, cat backpack, or stroller. I have my own backpack I could use. I would like to learn about your pet beforehand to understand any specific details about them. For example, I have a dog who doesn’t like when people touch his ears, but I have another that loves it. My cat, Venus, loves to be held, but one of my old roommate’s cats, Sage, did not. General information like that. I will also send you pictures/videos of your pet while you’re away if that helps you feel comfortable.

“Kerrie is a delight and will do an amazing job providing love and comfort for your furry creature(s) will you are away. We've work with her a few times now and we'd happily request her again. We received photos of her and our cats while she visited and felt very informed when she was on her way to and from our home. In addition to her affection and care, Kerrie has become someone that I consider a friend that I would count on to be there when we aren't. I trust her and love that she sometimes brings her kiddos to provide additional love. And please don't let her being hearing loss stop you from requesting her because she reads lips and expresses herself perfectly! I even learned some new signs. XO”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - South Bay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Bay is $15 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $16 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 October 2026, there are 653 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Bay. 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 .

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 , 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 South Bay. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
