“I appreciate Jasper being able to house-sit with my kitties. They sent multiple pictures which I really appreciated. I had a special situation with cats that had to be kept separated with a feeding schedule. Jasper was very accommodating and friendly. When I forgot to put out wet cat food for my one cats, they found the correct brand and gave them the mentioned amount and stored the rest in the fridge. I am so grateful they were able to assist with my mistake. I will use them again for sure.”

I can provide care such as giving medication when needed as well as baths and combing whenever needed. It would be a pleasure to have your pets as a friend! :) I am currently a full time college student, now on summer vacation. I have plenty of time to provide and care of your pets.

“Daylin did a wonderful job watching my dog, Leela, while I was away for 10 days. She went above and beyond, not only was she extremely communicative, sending me regular updates and adorable photos, but she also kept my apartment immaculately clean. She even gave Leela a bath, which she didn’t have to do, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Leela was in such loving and responsible hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you, Daylin, for all your hard work!”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs including senior dogs that needed medication administered, young, playful pups, and my own son, my baby Ace. I’m looking to work on rover part time so i’ll have more than enough time to attend to your pet daily if needed! I have a friendly pup if your fur baby needs company and will adapt and learn any new skills if your child requires something specific.
About: I can be with a dog all day and all night and not stop wanting to care for it's every need. If you don't want your pet spoiled, I'm not the right person for the job! Every dog deserves to be treated with respect and love. I treat every dog like it's my own. I put the dog's needs first and foremost. There's nothing to worry about with me taking care of your beloved pet. Home wise, I treat everyone's private property as just that, private, and respect other's belongings. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time fit well into my schedule. I make time each day for feeding, exercise, play, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I'm also organized and dependable, so I prioritize maintaining consistent routines and following any specific care instructions, whether that's administering medication, sticking to feeding schedules, or providing updates to pet parents. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I appreciate the companionship and trust that comes with it. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also treat my client's home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, securing doors and gates, and leaving everything as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while providing reliable, trustworthy service.
“Stella took care of my German Shepherd overnight stays for 2 weeks. She was responsible, responded to my texts, contacted me everyday with a text and photo and asked questions to make Maximus feel more comfortable and have more variety with me gone. She even cleaned my floors! My home was left as it was and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since my family got a dog when I was a kid. Since then I’ve cared for pets for friends and family. I am currently a grad student and I’m looking for part time work. My schedule is really flexible and can walk your dog at different times in the day. I live in apartment with one dog already so I’m used to going out and walking my dog often. I like to make sure the dog I’m with feels good and isn’t bored.
About: I have had a passion for caring for animals since I was a child! I have volunteered at a veterinarian’s office and a wetland animal rehabilitation center, and was in an animal protection club in college. I love animals, and treat them as my own family. I am currently a college student, so I will have a set schedule always! I will be free most weekends, and some week days depending on classes. I will be free most nights, and am willing to work on homework while watching your fur-babies. I have one cat in my home, and I keep her safe by keeping dangerous items out of reach, and keeping her environment safe. I am aware that animals can get into things they shouldn’t, but it is all about the environment you put them in. I will keep a close watch on what your animal is doing, and what environment they are in.
“I honestly can’t rave enough about how kind, patient and caring she is with our wild boxer pup. This is the 2nd time we book her and we are so happy with the amount of updates she shared with us.”
“Don was very attentive with our senior dog! She has quite a few needs these days and Don was detail-oriented and followed all our instructions carefully. It made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip knowing that our dog was in good hands. He sent lots of updates and photos. We even think our pup was missing her new friend after we returned. :)”
About: I will admire there pets the way they do. I know what it takes as an pet owner to make sure your furry friend is cared for in the best way! I’m currently working remotely from home. I work according to my own hours. This makes it easy for me to take frequent breaks for walks, plays in the park, etc. I have a fenced front and back yard. There’s a park near my house where I can take dogs for a walk. If I were to care for an animal in someone else’s home I would treat it with the utmost respect and care as if it were my own.
About: I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets for years, loving them like my own. I’ve welcomed many animals into my life and even helped find safe, happy homes for those in need. “I provide reliable, loving care with daily photo updates and flexible scheduling. I’m active, patient, and experienced with energetic and senior dogs. Your dog will get safe walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I have plenty of time, patience, and love to give to your fur baby and the attention they deserve and need having a flexible job means I have more than enough time to make time I can care for your pet exactly how you prefer. As someone who had a pet , I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone with your baby — I’m very cautious and protective with my own pets, so yours will be treated the same way.
“Haylee was wonderful and kept us apprised of everything throughout the day. She’s very professional, friendly, caring and we felt very comfortable with our kitties in her care. She also left a cute Christmassy blanket for us…Thank you,Haylee!”
“Lauren took good care of my pets and my home. She thoughtfully sent pictures and kept in touch. It was apparent that she is experienced and reliable. I appreciated her attention to my pets' schedules and care.”
About: I've had 10 years of personal pet care experience from my mixed yellow Lab; care included cooking her meals (i.e. chicken and veggies) to grooming. I am working from home, mostly part-time during the day and will have the time to care, walk, and play with your pet. Zoom zoom. My house has a small outside area for the pet's business and has access to the indoors. In the process of a getting a crate.
“Brenna was great! She watched my two big dogs at my house and did an awesome job. I received lots of updates and photos, and she was very patient with my dogs who didn’t want to go outside to potty during the recent rainstorms. My home was just as clean and tidy as when i left! I would definitely have her dog and house sit again. Thanks, Brenna!”
“Rebecca is a fantastic sitter who took great care of both our house and our new cat Baby Lizard. She sent us lots of photos, did face time calls when asked, stuck to our vet's dietary instructions, and gave Blizzard lots of cuddles but also just chill time and space. She also helped out with managing our home, taking out trash, cleaning litter boxes and making sure the house stayed safe while we were on our trip. We will DEFINITELY be booking Rebecca again to watch our Baby Lizzy!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Gate
Moriah is AMAZING. We’ve been wanting to go on overnight trips but haven’t since one of our little guys has quite an involved medical routine. We have been so worried we wouldn’t find anyone that would be patient or communicative enough to learn his ways. Moriah turned that thought around *completely* and went above and beyond! Moriah was so attentive to our boys’ routine, asked the right questions, gave us the best updates with pics, and honestly the boys fell even more in love with their buddy! We’re so grateful to Moriah for helping our family, so in Moriah we Trust! :)

FAQs for House Sitting - South Gate
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Gate on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 15,346 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Gate. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred South Gate walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in South Gate maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in South Gate choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
