About: Working as a teacher and pet sitter have taught me many of the same skills: patience, communication, responsibility, and genuine care. I’ve traveled across the U.S. to pet sit for both cats and dogs, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m attentive to owners’ instructions and take their trust seriously. Whether it’s keeping up with a feeding schedule, making sure a dog gets plenty of exercise, or giving a shy cat some extra space and patience, I do my best to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and always aim to leave a place as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time before and after work to provide attentive care, and I’m generally able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s needs. I live a calm lifestyle and enjoy spending time at home, so pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a safe, comfortable home with a backyard where pets can get some fresh air and space to explore. I also live right next to a park with a designated pet area and plenty of greenery, which makes it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor time. I want pets in my care to feel comfortable and at home, while also following their owner’s routines, instructions, and preferences.

About: Adopted and took care of my own pup, from young to old. Volunteered to sit-in and also take care of friends and family pups when needed. I am currently a small business owner, who has free time on their hands. I am currently available for most weekday and some weekend, for most hours of the day. I can be flexible. I am currently only interested in walks. My current living situation does not accommodate me taking care of a pet. For client's home, I would prep a backpack full of items that help in taking care of pets such as: wet wipe, poop bags, extra leash, treats, etc, and so on.

Michelle was amazing with our Shelley, who isn’t usually eager to walk with someone who isn’t me or my husband. He began to look expectantly for her, tail wagging when he saw that she was near. Michelle and Jennifer are the best - completely reliable, loving toward your pet, and skilled in managing a dog in a caring way. They are more than we hoped for!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 14 years old. My husky was a very reactive and energetic so I am well trained on dogs that pull or lunge. I also have a passion in running. If your dog loves to go on runs then we’re a perfect match! I am currently freelancing some projects. I have lots of free time throughout the week. I would love to spend my free time going on walks or doing drop ins. As an active person, I’m happy to provide jogging or running sessions for high energy dogs who need extra exercise and stimulation. I can also walk and hike long distance. Whatever your dog’s fitness level, I will match it.

Nick was absolutely wonderful with Maddie! He arrived right on time, kept me updated with a photo during their walk, and made sure Maddie had playtime once they returned home. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in caring and reliable hands. Maddie clearly enjoyed her time with him, and I truly appreciated the communication, professionalism, and attention he gave her. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker! Thanks again Nick!!

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. The type that saves spiders and helps stranded bees get to a flower. I’ve previously fostered multiple dogs and cats, and I’m usually the person my friends call when they need someone to check in and pet sit for a weekend. I’m sensitive to a pet’s needs and will always take the extra step to make sure they can get comfortable with me before everything. Currently job hunting, so I have a pretty flexible schedule to walk or pet sit. That flexibility also gives me time to be able to get acquainted with your buddy to help reduce stranger danger and increase comfort with them. We have an indoor dog at home and we all care for her collectively. I try and make sure she gets the love and attention she needs, long games of catch outside and indoors when she’s looking bored or wants attention so that she doesn’t feel left out. I’ve also fostered and found loving homes for several cats, and luckily still get regular check ins from them!

About: Hi, I’m Lorena! I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic pet sitter who believes your pets deserve the same love, attention, and patience they get from their own family. 🧬 A little about me: I have a B.S. in Biology with a focus in Microbiology, and my background in healthcare and caregiving has taught me to be observant, patient, and attentive to the little details that matter. 🐾 I have experience caring for pets at many different stages of life. I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for two large-breed Staffordshire Pit Bulls throughout their senior years, so I understand the patience, gentle care, and attention that older dogs may need. I’m comfortable with bigger, strong dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine. 🍼 I’ve fostered premature kittens on three separate occasions from North Central Animal Shelter, caring for them from their fragile baby stage through adoption age. I’ve cared for post-op adult cats and have experience administering oral medications as well. These experiences have taught me how important it is to remain calm, patient, observant, and consistent when a pet needs extra care. 🐦 And yes, I love our feathered friends too! I have firsthand experience caring for parrots, including lovebirds and budgerigars (budgies). I’ve also had experience caring for a North American house finch, giving me an appreciation for how different bird species have their own unique needs, personalities, and routines. I understand that birds require a clean environment, fresh food and water, gentle handling, and plenty of attention to their behavior and surroundings. 🧼 🫧Because of my microbiology background, I’m especially mindful about cleanliness, sanitation, and maintaining a safe environment. My healthcare and caregiving experience has also taught me to follow instructions carefully, recognize when something seems out of the ordinary, and communicate with owners so they can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible and pet care fits naturally into my week! I’m available after 5 PM Monday through Friday and I’m available all day Saturday and Sunday. I’m happy to dedicate my evenings and weekends to giving your pet the attention they deserve, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication, or simply keeping them company. I’m also comfortable following specific routines and care instructions so your pet can stay as close to their normal schedule as possible. I love being able to give pets my full attention rather than rushing through visits. You can also expect regular communication and adorable photo updates while your pet is in my care! 📸🐶🐱🐦 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in their home, I make it a priority to keep their environment clean, secure, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I would want for my own. I’m mindful of doors, gates, food, medications, personal belongings, and anything else that could pose a safety risk to a curious pet. I always make sure pets are secure before leaving and that their environment is clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands

About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.

Lexy is literally incredible. My parent has high standards for dog care, and Lexy goes above and beyond for us. She always makes sure to tell us about potential conflicts very early in advance, and she is very diligent with the specific tasks given to her. She even goes out of the way to help us with other things when they come up. She is very sociable and provides frequent updates. Literally couldn’t ask for anyone better.

I have two big fun dogs that require attention on two different energy levels and the right person to keep them happy. Bobby was great, he got along with both dogs immediately and had no issues dealing with both energy levels. They always looked forward to his visits. I found Bobby to be reliable and flexible depending on my schedule. He communicates well. I won"t hesitate to call him again. Thanks Bobby!

About: Lived in a multi-dog household for over 15 years providing care to pups of all ages (newborn puppies to seniors). Experienced in puppy care, senior care, medication administration, and rescue pups needing a little extra attention as they're getting adjusted to their new furrever homes. Although I don't personally provide training, I've had experience in going through training for our own pups and can support in maintaining the training that you have already in place. Guests are provided with care full-time. I'm available throughout the week and are generally flexible with pick up and drop off times. Though there may be some slight adjustments to the our daily routine, a general idea of our schedule for boarding consists of.. 6:30am potty break and playtime 7am breakfast and continued playtime 8:30am lounge/nap time Potty breaks every 3-4 hours 12:00pm -2:00pm Afternoon playtime some time during this time frame if the weather permits 5:30pm-7:00pm dinner around this time frame Evening play until 7:30pm-8pm 11:00pm for a final potty break We live in a fenced home that is double gated with a large spacious backyard. Guests are only allowed outside when there is human supervision. Guests are welcome to wrestle and play chase; however, if we do see there is an escalation in energy levels then we do a quick reset and separate guests for several minutes before returning to a lower energy of play behavior.

There’s just something bout Courtney that when you first meet her, you feel absolutely comfortable with handing your dog over. My dog, bailey, loved her the second she walked In and left to go walk with her without even looking back once to see if I was going with her. I’m glad I found Courtney in such a short notice. Also her flexibility and willingness to work with you is the best!!! Highly recommend her

This is me and my husband’s first time using Rover and with 2 dogs who can be reactive and have high energy, we had some reservations about picking a walker. Lauriane was very sweet and understanding of our dogs’ little quirks and the did great with her during our meet and greet and first walk together. She provided so many photos/videos which we really appreciated!! 10/10 recommend.

Sona is absolutely amazing. We needed a walker for our German boy because we were having a big party and couldn’t have him around the festivities. Sona came twice while we were entertaining and took Zeke for his walks to knock the anxieties down. She sent us pictures of him on his walks and then sent us a picture of him when she returned him back to the house to let us know he was safe and home. I will totally use her again. She was so good with him and she’s so sweet and patient. Thank you Sona!!

Exactly what I needed! Anyone that is even bothering to come on this app/site definitely cares a lot about their fur babies. If that's the case, of course Trust and confidence in your Rover partner makes all the difference in the world. I was so fortunate to have found Beverly last second. She was incredibly communicative throughout my entire process and worked around my schedule and timing. The biggest thing for me was that I was going overseas so I definitely was stressed out and she made me feel extra relieved by sending plenty of pictures and keeping in contact whenever needed. She's the one! Give her a shot if you're near!

FAQs for Dog Walking - South San Gabriel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in South San Gabriel on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 22,116 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South San Gabriel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your South San Gabriel. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in South San Gabriel.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in South San Gabriel. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
