“Lindsey was amazing with my dogs who can be a lot at times. They immediately loved her and it’s wonderful to be able to travel and know your dogs are taken care of. I can’t enjoy my trips if I’m worried about the dogs and Lindsey provided constant updates so I knew they were in excellent hands.”
“Angela was very prompt, responsible, and communicative. I booked her a few weeks in advance, she came over once to meet my dog and get an idea of her routine. She then came back the day before my trip for a refresher. She took care of my dog exactly as we had discussed and sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone. My home was exactly as I left it when I got back. Would definitely use Angela again!”
“Alyssa has house-sat twice for us now and she is always so patient and understanding of our pets and their different temperaments. Communication is great, pets always seem happy and healthy when we return and we don’t have to worry about our home or our pets while we are out of town. Highly recommend and we will definitely try to book her again in the future.”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our dogs and cat (and bunny). Even with rough weather and power outages, the animals were in good hands. Thank you for keeping them healthy, happy and entertained.”
“Ryan is my pup Shyla’s new best friend! Ryan provided lots of great photos and updates for the short stay at our home. He even took her for a hike on her favorite local trail. ? She is currently waiting on the porch now for his return.? Thanks for being there for us Ryan. You maintained her routine and helped to minimize her separation anxieties. I just might have to be away again soon now that I know who I can call on!”
“Jahcarre and Morgan took great care of our two dogs, Winston and Reno, as well as our home! Our dog Reno has issues with getting along with unfamiliar dogs, and due to being blind he doesn't always do well in new environments, so having a sitter come watch our dogs in our home is essential, but isn't always easy to find, especially over a holiday. I was so happy to find Jahcarre and Morgan through Rover! They put me at ease by talking with me and meeting the dogs beforehand, and I felt confident leaving my dogs and our home in their hands while my husband and I were able to travel without being concerned. They communicated well when needed and sent pictures when I requested. They even got our doggies a little Christmas gift which was so sweet! Thank you for spending your Christmas with our pups, we would definitely have you watch them again!”
“Emily was extremely professional, attentive, and caring with my cats while she house sat for me over the weekend during my trip to Maine. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing all four of my cats were accounted for, fed, and cared for, and I really appreciated the check-in photos and updates throughout the weekend. She let me know when they had breakfast, when she was heading out for the night, and kept their routine consistent while I was away. Emily was kind, friendly, and wonderful with my animals. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter — she did an amazing job!”
“Had an overall positive experience with Noor. There was good communication and both dogs seemed very comfortable with her and well cared for during her stay in our home. I appreciated the pictures of the pups each day as I am very protective of them and it eased my mind to see them relaxed in their own environment.”
“Thinking about asking Alise to be my pups godparent, she’s that great ;). Always sends great updates and photos. You never have to worry about the pups while you’re away knowing they’re in great hands. Thank you, Alise!”
“Sara was a lifesaver! She helped house sit our two greyhounds and a guinea pig on short notice, salvaging a family vacation. She was responsive while we were away and when we got home, everything was as we left it and it was clear the dogs (and pig) had been exceptionally well cared for. We'll definitely be requesting her services in the future.”
“Alina is amazing! She is attentive and provides frequent updates that are detailed. I highly recommend using her. One of my dogs had a vomit issue and she handled it so well! Alina is also very sweet. I will definitely be contacting her again for when I’m traveling.”
“Allison was absolutely wonderful! We felt so at ease with her watching the dogs and staying in our house and she was so flexible when an emergency came up and changed our trip dates. Absolutely cannot day enough good things about her!!”
“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Riley is a very compassionate and dependable person. He. Cared for my 3 animals well & let them climb over him letting them get comfy in his lap! I will be using Riley any time I need someone to stay with my babies❤️”
“Neri saved our New Year trip and sat for our 2 dogs when our first sitter had a medical emergency. The pups were very content with her and she was prompt and professional. We highly recommend her for and pet care and house sitting.”

This is the second time I used Gabrielle and she was excellent again. She took great care of my golden - she was so loving to her and handled all her needs. She left my home is better condition than she found it, lol. Without being asked, the houseplants were watered, she took the trash out, cleaned the dog bowls and vaccuumed. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her if you need a great pet sitter!
Keeara was honestly so great and gave me all the reassurance I needed for my two pups. It’s always hard for me to leave my dogs in the care of somebody else because I’m so particular and very paranoid about it overall but I definitely trust her and wouldn’t hesitate to let her watch my dogs again which says a lot. Her communication was a 10/10 even when an emergency in her own family came up she still prioritized the care of my dogs as well. Thank you so much again!! So grateful for her care.
Had an overall positive experience with Noor. There was good communication and both dogs seemed very comfortable with her and well cared for during her stay in our home. I appreciated the pictures of the pups each day as I am very protective of them and it eased my mind to see them relaxed in their own environment.
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our Lily. She committed to periodic visits prior to our booking to allow Lily to get used to her. While away, Liz sent us regular updates and photos. We will definitely engage Liz for future services and absolutely recommend her to others.
We couldn't be happier. From the moment we met Linda, we felt completely at ease leaving both our dog and our home in her care. She was warm, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. While we were away, Linda kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. She also took amazing care of our home—everything was spotless and orderly. It’s not easy to find someone you fully trust with both your pet and your home, but Linda exceeded all expectations. We feel so lucky to have found her and will absolutely be using her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Gate
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Gate on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,484 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.
