About: My experience with animal care has billed the following: Dogs, cats, birds... the list goes on! I do not shy from the messy, the sassy, the lazy, or the energetic, I've seen it all! I have specialty in caring for younger animals, having nurtured lots of animals into adulthood, even with the absence of their parents. One such example was when I had a litter of puppies in my care: two out of the seven puppies had unfortunately contracted parvo, but because I was their caretaker, they not only had successful recoveries but the other healthy puppies stayed healthy all throughout. No matter what, I've got you covered! Important note: Wednesday is my busiest day of the week! While I am still available, I cannot guarantee it. I'm currently on a part-time work schedule, so anytime in the morning, early afternoon, evening, or night is perfect for me to visit your pet! Even at work, I will go during my lunch to ensure your pets are A-OK! I never let pets out of my sight no matter what, especially for supervised activities (walking, out in the yard, etc.) I am willing and able to provide near-constant updates to ensure your peace of mind, and I treat every home with the utmost respect and leave it better than how it was. I have extreme patience with pets, and can reliably sense and match the energy they give out, i.e. I will never make a lazy dog do more than they comfortably want to and I will never do less than what an extremely energetic dog wants. I have a husky mix, so I know how it is!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with both dogs and cats has given me experience caring for pets of all sizes, from small breeds to large German Shepherds. I’ve also helped raise puppies, so I’m familiar with the extra patience, attention, and consistency they need. I have experience giving oral medications when needed and don’t mind cleaning up accidents or messes that can happen with pets. I believe every animal has its own personality, so I like to match their energy and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. That means going for a walk, playing fetch, or simply relaxing together, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important pets are to their owners, so I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a part-time worker and student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care for your pets. My availability is even more open during summer and winter breaks, making me a great option if you’re traveling. Feel free to message me with your dates, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. As a pet owner myself, I know every pet has unique needs and routines. I believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so I always double-check gates, leashes, doors, and windows to keep pets safe. I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has always been more than just a responsibility to me, it comes from my heart. I’ve had dogs since middle school, and I’ve always loved and cared for them as if they were my own children. I understand that our dogs are family and I believe they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and deeply loved, even when their parents are away. I had the privilege of raising my handsome boy Oliver from the time I was in eighth grade until he passed away in May of 2026. He was such a special part of my life, and caring for him taught me so much about the patience, attention, and compassion dogs need as they grow older. Through my own experience, I’ve learned how important it is to recognize and adapt to a dog’s changing needs throughout every stage of their life, from tiny puppies to seniors. I also have two young dogs of my own who I’ve raised since they were puppies. This has given me hands on experience with the patience, consistency, and attention that young dogs need as they learn and grow. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make each one feels secure, understood, and cared for. When your dog is with me, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re receiving more than basic care. They’ll receive genuine affection, patience, attention, and plenty of love. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same tenderness and care I give my own because I know just how much they mean to you. I work from home Monday through Friday which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, loving care throughout the day. I’m available after 12 PM on weekdays and can accommodate weekend bookings with at least one week’s notice. Because I work from home, I can dedicate plenty of time to your fur baby’s care, whether that means keeping them company, providing potty breaks, going on walks, enjoying playtime, or simply giving them extra cuddles and attention. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure while their families are away, and I do my best to maintain their usual routines and make them feel right at home. In my home: I primarily offer pet sitting in my home, where your fur baby will have companionship throughout the day and the opportunity to play and socialize with my two dogs, as long as they’re comfortable around other dogs. I do my best to keep everyone on a consistent routine for meals, potty breaks, playtime, and rest so your pup can settle in comfortably. We do have a shared courtyard at the apartments, where I can take the dogs out for a potty break. I welcome dogs at any time, and I always prioritize their safety, individual needs, and comfort. In your home: I’m available for pet sitting at your home after 3:30 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I understand how comforting it can be for dogs to remain in their familiar environment, surrounded by their own things and routines. I’ll follow your instructions closely, maintain their usual schedule, and give them plenty of affection and attention. Potty breaks and walks: I can also stop by for potty breaks and walks to help keep your pup happy, comfortable, and active throughout the day. I’ll always be mindful of their age, energy level, and individual needs. No matter which service you choose, I want you to feel confident knowing your fur baby is receiving attentive, patient, and loving care. I will also send you photos and videos throughout the day so you know how your baby is doing. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness and consideration I give my own. My goal is to make your time away easier for you and as comfortable as possible for your little one!

About: Hello pet parents! My name is Kalonie and I would love to be your pet's favorite sitter or walker! While I'm only 20 years old, I assure you that my experience with animals is deep-rooted. I've had cats my entire life, from playful kittens to grumpy seniors. So I am very comfortable with all aspects of feline care, including feeding schedules, administering medication, and providing plenty of enrichment and cuddles. I absolutely adore dogs and have extensive experience caring for friends' and family members' dogs. I’m energetic, reliable, and excited to provide your dog with fun walks, playtime, and attentive care! I have intentionally structured my current weekly routine to prioritize client flexibility and consistent pet care. Because i’m not currently in need for a specific occupation, and this is what I love to do, my schedule is wide open! Which allows me to be incredibly reliable for pets. I provide comprehensive care including walking, feeding, playing, administering medication, and simply showing them all the love possible. Ensuring pets follow their regular routine while you're away.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was 5 and have always loved any animal. Anyone that knows me can tell you how much I love animals and how much they love me. During the weekdays I’m currently available for any care before 1:30 pm and my weekends are pretty flexible depending on your needs. I’m pretty flexible on what care needs go be done and am open to taking about many options. I make sure to follow by the rules that are set by the client, whether it is taking them out x amount of times, playing with them. My usual sense of care is being around them constantly keeping an eye on them and being aware of their needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young girl. I take great pride in getting to know an animal first and gaining their trust. I enjoy walking my dog during my free time, giving her lots of pets, and entertaining her with games of fetch! Cats are also very dear to me and I love taking care of them. I take care of the feeding, cleaning of the litter box, and most importantly, play time! I am oftentimes free in the early mornings and afternoons. My classes and work shifts are in the evening and so when I get back home in the evening I also have time to care for pets. I respect the home of those who welcome me in and make gaining the trust of your pet a top priority. I want to insure that all animals feel safe and that all needs are met beyond expectations.

About: Throughout my life I have had all kinds of pets, from bunnies to iguanas. I really love caring for animals because they are a part of my family. Currently my family has 2 cats and 2 dogs which I care for and love dearly. I take them on walks and to the beach, i would treat your fur baby as if it were my own. I'm currently an intern at the Museum of Latin American Art in downtown Long Beach three days out of the week and really enjoy it. I have a really nice schedule and work from 9-3. I do have another part time job that is mainly weekends but they are super flexible and I mainly close 3-10. I really enjoy dog sitting because I like spending with animals after I get off work Whenever I am watching over a clients pet I also make sure to keep an extra careful eye on them because I know that the absence of their own already has them on edge. I just want to be able to give you a safe peace of mind and don’t worry I will send pictures for updates. After dog sitting for quite some time I really do enjoy becoming a dog or cat safe person

Three things. First, exceptional care of our cat and two dogs! Second, we extended our trip to japan 7 days and Alyssa was there to extend her care for our pets and home! Amazing! And lastly, our electric lock on the front door was on low battery. Kinda stressful because if it died Alyssa wouldn't have access to our home, but She went out, bought batteries, and changed them. Above and beyond :) Thanks Alyssa, look forward to using your service to care for our pets in the future!

Janalee was an amazing sitter for my cats. She dropped-in twice a day for 6 days and fed them, made sure they had water, took care of litter, and played with them. They got lots of cuddles and pets, and seemed very happy. The cats were in a great mood when I got home. Janalee was so prepared and your fur babies will be in good hands with her.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - South Gate

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Gate is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $23 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 21,156 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Gate. 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 South Gate. 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.
