I’d love to help you with dog walks and drop-in visits, whether your pup needs some exercise, a potty break, or a little company during the day. I’m also happy to check in on your cats, refill their food and water, clean their litter boxes, and give them some attention while you’re away. Every pet has their own personality, and I’m happy to go with the flow and follow their usual routine. Whether they want to play, go for a walk, or just hang out, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for! 💛 I work a hybrid schedule but mostly WFH, so I have a pretty flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits! Since I have a dog and cat of my own, taking care of pets is already part of my daily routine. I can usually fit visits in throughout the day and am happy to work around you and your pet’s schedule!

“We have booked Cathy and Andres repeatedly to look after our Billie and every time we can always rely on frequent updates, quick contact if any issues arise, and great/thoughtful care of our pup. It always feels good to have trustworthy care!”
“Anne & Jason did an excellent job caring for our 5 pound dog. They were so good to send me daily pictures and promptly answer any questions I had. We will definitely be using them again and have already booked them for our next trip.”
“Awesome stay with Michael!! My dog Rocky loved him and his dogs. Michael had fast communication and was updating me about Rocky’s stay and also sent pictures. I definitely look forward to booking again and I encourage you to as well.”
“First time Bingo with private home dog sitter. Connie sent me updates, Bingo seem comfortable and had no issues. Connie is a wonderful person, and took great care of Bingo. I will diffidently use Connie again.”
“Mel was wonderful with my pup Marshmallow this past weekend. Mel was very communicative before and during her stay! We met at a nearby park for our dogs to meet, then Mel showed me around his yard/home during our Meet & Greet. His yard was spacious enough for running around and was entirely enclosed - I had no worries of my dog accidently getting out or feeling confined. When I dropped Marshmallow off he had his dog and another dog staying separated out in the house so that they could all be introduced slowly and not get too hyper right off the bat. This allowed my pup to have a few moments of sniffing around and feel safe as I was leaving. I received multiple photos throughout the day about how she was doing and it made me feel very at ease. Mel was amazing and brought her and her stuff out to help me load back up into the car when I picked her up as well! I would highly recommend Mel if you are in the area!”
“Samantha was a last minute find for our last minute trip, but we were lucky to find her, she was great with our border collie, she would constantly send me pictures of him and her dog at the dog park getting along and playing with other dogs. She was attentive with his eating and walking schedule and did great at communicating with us. Definitely using her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for over 5 years, including seniors, shy rescues, and energetic kittens. I’ve helped foster and rehome multiple cats, and currently care for three of my own. Friends and neighbors often rely on me to feed, clean, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m gentle, attentive, and love learning each animal’s unique personality. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and every interaction with animals feels incredibly healing and meaningful to me. I wish I could welcome even more animals into my life, but since I can’t right now, I treat every pet I care for like family whether they live in my home or yours. Pet care is already part of my daily life. I have three cats at home, including one I'm currently fostering. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and love being around them as much as possible. I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with lots of love and patience. I'm especially experienced with shy or anxious cats and dogs, and I make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. My own pets are well socialized, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions you have.
“Christina was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and allowing someone other than family/friends to watch my dog and she made me feel very confident that my dog was safe and happy while I was away. I had to book last minute and she made everything smooth. I appreciated all the photos and videos while I was gone. Will definitely book again if I need to.”
“Yueli is a professional when it comes to dog sitting/dog boarding. She has a big, secure backyard where all our fur babies can play during the day and a safe space for them to sleep during the night. Dolly came home happy and tired from her doggy vacation!”
“Kathryn is amazing!! We have a senior dog with diabetes and Kathryn was able to administer her medication twice daily without any problems. We loved that she shared pictures of our pup each day. We felt completely comfortable leaving our doggie in her care and it was a bonus that she has a sweet older dog that was a companion for our dog as well. We have already rebooked her services and we highly recommend Kathryn for any pet sitting needs.”
“I booked Star to watch my two huskies for 3 days. When I picked them up they were happy and healthy. I’m glad they got along with her dogs and family. I would definitely book again in the future.”
“Sandra was flexible, accommodating and extremely nice. She sent me daily pics of our pups and followed my instructions. She made our pups feel welcomed and treated them as her own. We've found our dog sitter 😊”

Madalyn was awesome and perfect for my dog Marshmello. He seemed to get comfortable with her immediately which is unlike him. As someone with an anxious pet, I’m usually stressed leaving him with someone he’s not familiar with. But Madalyn has this sweet, calming energy that both my dog and I picked up on. I’m telling you, I’ve never seen my dog care less that I picked him up lmao. He felt right at home with her. And I’m convinced he was fine making her his new mom :) Madalyn was very accommodating and answered all my questions, she kept me updated and sent pictures and videos of my pup. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your pet. I would definitely use her again if needed in the future. Thanks for treating my pup so well Madalyn!
Eric deserves EVERY single glowing review possible! This was the first time I've used Rover and Eric has made the process so seamless, easy, and reliable. On short notice, I needed somebody to board my small dog for a week. Originally, I had tried to book with someone else, but that sitter backed out almost last minute because my small dog isn't immediately friendly with other dogs. Eric, however, was extremely understanding of my predicament, and he listened when i told him him that my dog needs time to adjust to new company – she is not aggressive or angry, she is just timid, shy, and reclusive. Eric understood and assured me of his many years of experience with dogs. I got to meet him beforehand with my dog. His house is very lovely, clean, and polished, and perfectly set up to accommodate anybody's pup. It was not a stressful or triggering environment for dogs, and there was plenty of yard and space to explore. He was kind, professional, and showed me what my dog's boarding situation would look like, which I really appreciated. I was unsure if he would accept the booking request on such late notice, especially because my dog needed a little bit of time to trust him and her temporary new environment, but he assured me that everything would be fine. While I was away, he sent me pictures and videos of her in her new environment, which was very reassuring for me. My dog was so relaxed and calm in his house that she even made a friend! She was now dog-friends with Eric's dog, which was doubly reassuring and comforting for me to know that she had doggy company and companionship. When I came back to pick her up, she was just as happy and healthy as when I dropped her off. I cannot thank Eric enough, he has been so kind and professional and accommodating and I will definitely be booking again with him in the future and recommending him to everyone I know who needs a sitter for their pup. THANK YOU ERIC!
Fantastic people!! I will definitely be using Georgina again! I could feel the care that the family provided. I was afraid Bailee, my dog, wouldn't want to come back home! Lol Absolutely the best! She listened to my requests and acted on them. I consider it a Perfect Weekend for my baby

FAQs for Dog Boarding - El Monte
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in El Monte is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $71 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 10,460 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across El Monte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in El Monte can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their El Monte home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your El Monte.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your El Monte sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
