About: I have 14 years of experience taking care of my dog. I practically grew up with him. As I got older I took responsibility over him. Walking him everyday, feeding him and always making sure he had clean water. I also managed to train him when he was older. So I learned that you can teach an old dog new tricks. I have also taken care of my next door neighbor's dog. They have always asked me when then leave for a trip. I currently take care of my brother's small dog. I'm currently not working and have plenty of time. I go on runs in the morning and like to keep active throughout the day. I have a fenced home and nice walking areas nearby. I'll take what a need for a proper dog walk and making sure your pet is happy and safe.

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, including extensive work as an Emergency & Critical Care Veterinary Technician. I am highly experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior and special-needs pets. My background allows me to confidently care for pets who require medications (oral, injectable, insulin), post-surgical monitoring, special diets, mobility assistance, and close observation for medical changes. I am trained to recognize early signs of illness or distress and take calm, appropriate action. Beyond medical care, I focus on creating a safe, comforting, low-stress environment for pets while their families are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand how important trust, reliability, and communication are to pet parents. Pet care is something I do part-time to supplement my income, which allows me to remain flexible and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I coordinate care around the pet’s routine, medical requirements, and comfort level, whether that means scheduled drop-ins, extended visits, or adjusting timing as needed. I prioritize reliability, clear communication, and consistency so pets experience as little disruption to their normal routine as possible Safety, trust, and compassion are at the core of how I care for animals. I approach every pet with patience, empathy, and respect, especially those who are anxious, elderly, recovering, or have medical needs. My background in emergency veterinary medicine allows me to remain calm, observant, and responsive while providing gentle, attentive care in both my home and a client’s home. I focus on creating a low-stress, nurturing environment by closely observing behavior, respecting boundaries, and meeting each pet where they are emotionally and physically. My goal is to provide not just supervision, but the reassurance and comfort pets need to feel safe, cared for, and understood.

“Anahis took great care of my furbaby. I had to leave town on an emergency and she was quick to respond and meet with me prior. She provided picture updates and was attentive to bring up any concerns to me. She was also kind enough to feed my desert tortoises. I would book check-ins with her again!”

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: 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.

About: For years, I've cared for my own dogs and provided pet sitting and house sitting for family and friends. Through those experiences, I've learned how important it is to keep pets comfortable by following their routines and giving them plenty of attention and affection. In addition to handling dogs, I also have experience with cats, birds, and reptiles, so I'm comfortable looking after a variety of pets and their unique needs. I'm flexible, reliable, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I'm available every day from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, so it will be easy to fit in pet visits and other quick pet services. I understand that every pet and family has different scheduling needs, so I'm happy to be flexible whenever possible. My goal is to provide dependable care that works best for you while ensuring your pet receives the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I will carefully follow your instructions and respect your house rules, while keeping your pet's daily routine to help them feel secure when you're away. I also make sure the environment stays clean, safe, and free of anything that could be a potential risk for me and your pet. Whether it's double-checking that doors and gates are secure, keeping food and belongings where they should be, or maintaining a tidy space, I'll care for your home and your pet with the same attention and respect I would my own.

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: 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

Everything is self taught but i’ve spent countless hours studying and training my own dogs and puppy’s! Also potty training is breeze. I love being out in nature and park walks and hikes so dog walking is a natural part of my day. Im home almost all day so I have plenty of walking and play time! I mostly only go out for walks and hikes as i’m working from home! I always make sure pets can feel at home anywhere they are especially in my home, and to keep them comfortable and happy while they are in care!

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.

As of October 2026, there are 21,159 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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
