About: I love animals in general and spoil my not so little cat at home! I have experience taking care of my cat such as feeding, cleaning food and water bowls, scooping the litter box, and brushing hair and teeth. I am patient and optimistic to meet new pets and people, being naturally adaptive to dynamic situations and quick to think on my feet as an aspiring healthcare provider. I would love to be your pets new best friend and spoil them (to your liking)! I am free generally at any time of day! Please give me a notice preferably a day before so that I can plan for the rest of my day. I am currently settling in with a part-time job and will update my schedule as soon as my work schedule becomes more stable. I have a fenced backyard and a two-story house that is calm and quiet in environment! My cat is an indoor cat and will be hanging around if your pet comes to my home. We live with my parents who are more present at home in the evenings after 7pm. At your home, I will care for your pet(s) at your preferences and do all that you think is best for your pet's care if that includes playtime and walking as well!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, dog walking, playtime, and routine medication support. I also have experience with senior pets, shy cats, anxious dogs, and pets that need a calmer, more patient approach. I understand the importance of following instructions closely, watching for changes in behavior, and keeping owners updated during each visit. For medication care, I can assist with routine owner-directed medication such as pills, liquid medication, eye drops, ear drops, and topical medication. Written instructions are required so I can follow your pet’s normal care routine accurately. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking by appointment. My schedule may vary depending on location and existing bookings, but I do my best to keep visits consistent with your pet’s normal routine. For first-time clients, I prefer a meet-and-greet before confirming the booking so I can learn your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medication needs, behavior notes, and home access instructions. For pets with medication needs, please provide clear written instructions in advance, including medication name, dosage, timing, and what to do if your pet refuses the medication. Safety and trust are very important to me. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep dogs leashed during walks, use your preferred walking route when provided, check doors and gates before leaving, and provide clear visit updates with photos. During each visit, I make sure food and water are refreshed, potty or litter box needs are handled, and your pet’s area is left clean and secure. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything that seems unusual, and I will update you right away if I notice a concern. I only provide drop-in visits and dog walking at the pet owner’s home. I do not offer boarding or daycare, so pets remain in their own familiar environment.

“Justin was a great sitter for our two doggies! He played with them, fed them, and gave them water just as we asked. He also even picked up their poop which was a nice touch! He made it very easy for us to enjoy our getaway without needing to worry about our dogs. They were in great hands while we were gone!”

“I’ve only ever hired one dog sitter and it is Jalee! I have a hard time leaving my dogs with someone just because i want them to have fun and be comfortable and Jalee is perfect for them. She does above and beyond work. Highly recommended to book with her”
About: I have a deaf cat that I have helped take care of for the past 6 years by understanding her surroundings and not startling her. I am currently a senior in high school who is passionate about making sure YOUR pet is getting great care! I am super flexible with time and eager to help take care of your pet(s). Right now I am available all day Saturday and Sunday I will introduce myself to the pets and will play with them until they are fully comfortable.

About: I grew up with a Great Dane who I cared for from childhood until she passed, and she’s the reason I’ve loved pets my whole life. Since then, I’ve helped take care of family and friends’ dogs of all sizes. Today I have an 11-year-old chihuahua (Camila) who is healthy, loved, and very used to having little pups around and a 5-year-old Weimaraner (Lolo) who was literally ‘trained’ by Camila to be gentle and respectful with small dogs. We also have a 16-month-old baby who has learned to be calm, gentle, and loving with pets. Your pup will be in a loving, kind, safe, and experienced home. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to give consistent attention and supervision to your pup throughout the day. My son is in daycare during daytime hours, so the home stays calm, quiet, and perfect for small dogs. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced front yard where dogs can safely explore under my supervision. I only care for a small number of pups at a time to keep the environment calm and safe. My two pups are gentle, respectful of small breeds, and all interactions are always supervised. I can also separate or crate dogs if needed to match their routine.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with a wide variety of pets. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life so I am comfortable caring for animals with different personalities. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated so they always feel connected and reassured! I currently work a part time job in the afternoon from 3pm - 6pm anytime before 3 and after 6 I am available as well as weekends if needed! I care for pets either in my home or in the client’s home by following their regular routine, providing fresh food and water, daily walks or playtime, and lots of attention. I keep the environment clean and safe, give updates after each visit, and make sure every pet feels comfortable and loved while their owner is away!
“My dogs (two 5-year old German shepherds) love Loretta and I have utilized her services several times and she takes great care of my fur babies anytime I’m gone. I appreciate her very much! I highly recommend her.”
“Zoey was amazing! It was a lot easier being away from home knowing she was going to drop in and keep my cat’s company. She followed instructions, gave me updates, sent pictures and most importantly made sure my cat got his daily medication. My cats were well looked after with her while I was away from home. I would not hesitate booking with her again! This was my first time using Rover and I could not have asked for a better experience!”
“We had a fantastic drop in visit with Georgina! Somi had a great time and I knew my pup was in good hands. She was all smiles! Great communication and followed everything I mentioned :)”
About: I have owned chickens, cats, parakeets, and dogs in the past. Pets are my life. My boy Kenny (a Goldendoodle), whom I recently got, I consider my son. Because of my PTA program, I'm only available during the mornings on Mon/Wed/Thu. On all other days, I have open availability to stay as long as your pets need! While I cannot take pets to my own home, I can take care of pets in other settings so long as the owner is comfortable and aware of where I am with their pet.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - El Monte
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.
Jessie was amazing with my cat. She was incredibly gentle, patient, and caring with my cat. Even during the meet and greet, my cat warmed up to her right away with no adjustment period at all. By the end, my cat absolutely adored her. Super grateful for the thoughtful care and attention during the drop-in visits.
Chu Hua was absolutely amazing with my kitties!! She clearly has a ton of experience with cats, and asked great questions when she came beforehand to check everything out and get the run down! She came every day, did what was needed, and played with them! Got so many photos and videos too! Will definitely be using her again in the future!!
She has gone above and beyond my expectations! My 3 kitties are super shy and hard to come out of their shell. Sahirah has managed to get them to be comfortable with her in 2 days! She has provided a lot of updates and has been helpful with things as they arise!

As of July 2026, there are 9,795 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across El Monte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
