Cristina was awesome and I can't say enough good things about her. She went above and beyond to care for our two goldendoodle pups. She followed instructions and gave feedback with each visit. She was attentive to the dogs needs and quickly shared when she thought their might be an issue. We will definitely be using her again.

About: Hi! My name is Richard, and I’m a reliable, patient, and energetic pet sitter/dog walker who truly enjoys spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, company while you’re away, or someone attentive to care for them throughout the day, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I offer services such as dog walking and drop-in visits I love keeping pets active and engaged, whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, or simply keeping them company so they don’t feel lonely. I understand that every pet has a different personality and energy level, so I always adjust my care to fit their specific needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, along with helping friends, family members, and neighbors with their pets over the years. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a calm environment where pets feel comfortable. I’m also attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise needs, and making sure pets stay safe at all times. As someone with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets I care for. I value communication and will always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable care while making sure your pets are happy, active, and treated like family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always work hard to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I recently graduated from high school and am now on summer break, which gives me a lot of free time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m also available for last-minute bookings or calls if needed, which I know can be very helpful for pet owners with busy or changing schedules. I usually spend my afternoons at the gym, so I am consistently available after 4 PM every day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or feeding. Outside of that, I have plenty of time and energy to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks or spending time playing with energetic pets is something I genuinely enjoy. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to focus on being dependable, responsive, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs while making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy the presence of animals and genuinely love caring for them. When I used to care for my aunt’s dog, I would come over every weekend to spend time with him, teach him tricks, feed him on a consistent schedule, and provide baths whenever instructed. I made sure he stayed active and healthy by taking him on three walks a day and letting him outside every two hours to use the restroom. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, bathroom breaks, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. I also understand the importance of keeping a clean environment and following any specific instructions provided by the owner. I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and exercising alongside them is something I truly enjoy. My goal is always to make pets feel cared for, comfortable, and happy while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10 years old and have experienced every stage of dog ownership, from puppyhood to old age. Recently, my dog passed away, and need a friend to walk with 3 times a day 😅 With extra time on my hands this summer, I’d love to share my love and attention with dogs whose families are away. As a former dog parent, I know how hard it can be to leave your baby behind. I’ve always felt a little guilty when I had to leave mine, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I hope to be that peace of mind for you and a loving friend for your pup while you’re away. I am a teacher on summer break, so I have a very open schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and lots of extra love and attention throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care and companionship. I care for your pets according to their normal routine. You can provide feeding schedules, sleeping preferences, walk routines, medications, crate-training instructions, and any other special needs. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and cared for.

About: Senior cat mom skilled at managing: hijinks, special diets & administering medication (oral/topical)*! I treat all fur babies with the same love & meticulous attention I give my own 🐱🐶 It can be nervewracking being away from your pet, but not to worry — I give LOTS of updates & always confirm before doing anything outside of your care instructions. $20 off 1st booking: KATHYV57281 (even if not with me! 🤗) *I am not trained in administering injectable medication. Therefore, I only offer oral and topical med admin; I will never risk your pet’s safety just to make a bit of extra money. Thank you for understanding! 💛 I work 100% remote in SGV, so I’m able to housesit anywhere with a strong internet connection. I love taking midday breaks to come dote on your pets ❤️ Same-day Saturday & Sunday drop in visits available upon request. I’m all about keeping your pets safe and happy. At home, I double-check doors, windows, & all other potential escape routes to prevent escape acts and keep curious pets out of tricky spots. On walks, I use secure gear, avoid hazards like hot pavement or busy areas, and always watch for stress or discomfort. After I take your pet back home, I always do a perimeter scan for toxic flowers, food, and choking hazards to ensure your pet will remain safe even after I leave. If any issues arise, you will be the first to know — I will leave a detailed text, call, and voicemail along with immediately reporting them to Rover.

About: Hi there! I'm Nicole and I am originally from Colorado. I decided to move to Seattle in 2020 but recently relocated to San Gabriel in March 2026. I’m currently a law school grad trying to make some extra cash while I study for the bar exam. I would love to help out with your pup as I’m always in need of study breaks! I have had dogs my whole life and am very attentive. I have my own dog now (a 4 year old doodle). He is quite a character and is leash reactive, so I have extensive experience walking sensitive pups, avoiding triggers, foxtails, using treats on walks to distract, etc. (my dog would not be joining me while I care for your fur babies). I currently study at home full time! I’m pretty flexible and can accommodate any needs from 6:30am - 9pm everyday from June through mid-September. I am really active and walk my own pup each day. We are constantly doing puzzle games and playing fetch. My pup is overwhelmed with another dog’s company or when there is a lot of movement on walks, so I can sympathize and understand dogs with varying personalities and triggers. I am a very alert care giver.

Christina took care of our kitties for 8 days while we were away on vacation. I can not begin to explain how attentive, caring and kind she was. She went out of her way to make sure our cats were happy and was super communicative throughout the whole process. During her meet and greet visit, she listened carefully to our instructions and asked many questions. Which reassured me that I was leaving my cats in capable and loving hands. Without a doubt I will be contacting Christina for my future trips. Thank you for everything.

Jacqueline did an excellent job caring for my cats while I was out of town. Her calm and quiet demeanor was very helpful for the comfort of my cats, and I felt confident in my choice to have her as my cat sitter when the more skittish of my two cats did not run and hide when she first met him. She sent me many wonderful pictures of her drop in visits with them, which included engaging play time, and I could tell day by day they were adjusting well to her presence, even excited for her to arrive. The cats and I are satisfied by the care she provided, and I look forward to connecting with Jacqueline again for future trips.

But Rose was so kind and comforting and confident, and made sure to send us lots of pictures and updates during each of her visits. She took care of everything even with the kitties deciding to cough up some hairballs for her 😅 the kitties were very happy and we’ll be sure to book Rose again if we need a cat sitter in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Temple City on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 21,843 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Temple City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Temple City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

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 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.
