About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I’ve had several pets over the years and I love all animals! I enjoy playing, cuddling, and hanging out with animals. I’m kind, respectful, attentive. I have experience with care for senior cats and dogs. Hello there! I am Vanessa. I’m an animal lover and friend 💖 I’m flexible morning, afternoons, evenings, nights and weekends. I’m open to check ins, walks, house sitting or just spending some quality time with your furry ones and their routines. I know how it feels to put your trust in another person when it comes to care with your fur babies. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I make sure to follow the instructions and house rules and routines. I am attentive, respectful, loving, and playful. I make sure to check in, give them the quality time, and exercise needed. I care deeply about their safety and want to ensure they are comfortable as can be. I have experience taking care of elderly pets and furry ones.
About: I have loved animals ever since I was a kid! From cats and dogs to even reptiles and birds, I love them all. I would be honored to care for your furry loved ones! I am currently a student with a very flexible schedule. I would be more than happy to accommodate the needs of you and your babies! In my client’s home, I am very detail oriented and respectful of any rules and guidelines. I take pet care very seriously, and I make sure to keep in touch.
About: I work full-time, so I’m best available for early morning and evening drop-in visits, with more flexibility on weekends. I’m reliable with timing and will always communicate clearly so you know exactly when your cat is being cared for. I treat every visit like it matters. I’ll follow your cat’s routine carefully, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, spend quality time with them, and check that doors and windows are secure before I leave. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Fantastic sitter for our Maine coon cat. Very attentive to all details, experienced in animal care and so very flexible. Everything you’d want in a pet sitter! Thank you so much Hayley!”
“Zoey was dealing with 5 cats, one who has a urinary issue. She did a great job. She stayed in touch with me & sent pics, she asked questions as needed, and everything was great when we got back.”
“Val was amazing, so on time and sent amazing pictures of my baby Max while we were away. One of the best drop-in visits I’ve had so far. She was so nice and sweet and I don’t think ill ever go to someone else as long as Val is available :)”
“Luna was so wonderful in taking care of my baby girl Momo! She was very quick to respond and Momo had a wonderful time with Luna. Luna often sent photos and videos of Momo to keep me updated, but I wasn't worried at all! I will definitely count on Luna to take care of Momo again in the future. Thank you!”
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: Hi! I’m a cat-only sitter in Rosemead. I have long-term experience caring for cats and understand shy, quiet, and independent personalities. I provide calm and patient care, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime if the cat is comfortable, and daily photo updates. I focus on cats only to ensure a safe and low-stress environment. I am available daily for drop-in visits and can easily fit pet care into my routine. I can provide feeding, litter cleaning, and calm companionship for cats at convenient times for their owners. I focus on providing a safe and comfortable environment for cats. I respect their space, handle them gently if needed, and make sure they have fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. I also provide daily photo updates to keep owners informed.
About: Hello, I currently work at a doggy daycare named St. Tropawz. It can become quite busy, meaning I'm familiar with caring for up to 15 dogs at any given time. I'm particularly fond of Dobermans and high energy breeds like Huskies. I understand how to work with a dogs temperament to keep everyone safe during sudden unforeseen events. I work part time at a doggy daycare located in Rosemead California named St. Tropawz. Outside of that I'm a student, currently learning Linux and cybersecurity after having been in the cannabis industry for 7 years. I'm familiar with how to approach pets that are unfamiliar with me but would greatly appreciate meeting your pet alongside you to help establish trust. I currently have a senior Husky named whiskie who is ten and a half years of whom I take for daily walks while riding my longboard. That way he gets to stretch his legs and go for a nice run or jaunt jog. While working at the doggy daycare, I will at times look after dogs who are a bit skittish. I understand the importance in giving a dog space and allowing them the time and patience needed to warm up to new individuals. I also was taught by my parents to respect another persons home. I like to think the way we interact with the world around us is a reflection of how we were raised and a mirror to our inner world. With that in mind I will pay careful mind to your space, your instructions and your pets!
“This was my first time using the Rover app! I’m so thankful and lucky I booked with Mikki, super sweet! She definitely helped me relax on my trip, sending me pictures and videos of my cat playing, letting me know if my cat ate, drank and did his business! It was so nice to see my cat having fun and being playful with her! She is such a great sitter, letting me know when she going to visit my little guy, and just giving me updates on everything! I would happily ask her again to watch my animal!”
“We chose Beverly as the first person to trust with our pets based on the positive things others have said in her reviews and we are very glad we did. She sent pictures and kept me updated the whole time. She was very responsive, communicative, flexible and went above and beyond. We are so happy with her services and the pets loved her. It feels great to have a trustworthy and kind person to reach out to the next time we need a pet sitter. Thank you so much Beverly!”

I'm currently working part-time and can meet any of your pet sitting needs with my schedule flexibility. I also go on daily walks as well, so any dog walks would perfectly fit my schedule.

“Joliana was so wonderful with our cat, Siri! We are always a little nervous to leave our elderly girl who has some light separation anxiety, and needs daily medication, but Joliana did great! She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - El Monte
Jacqueline was a pleasure to have take care of our fur babies. We appreciate her communication with us and all the pictures she sent. Not one day did we have to worry if our babies were ok. Maybe just the first day because we didn’t know what to expect. We have one really shy cat and we were worried she wouldn’t eat or come out of hiding but she did really great with her. She even played with them. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you.
I feel so lucky to have found her! She is incredibly caring and thoughtful, always follows the house rules and instructions, and even stays a little longer to make sure Rudy is taken care of. I really appreciate how much love and attention she gives him. I’ll definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! ❤️

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
