Jacqueline did a great job with my senior dog. Because of the heat, I gave her the flexibility of coming early and she was here bright and early. She is quiet in person but clear in her texts. Which I get. My written communication is better than my oral. I will be happy to book her again.

Kimmy was amazing, very communicative and seemed like our dog really liked her. She was patient when meeting our dog for the first time, allowed her to get comfortable and we felt very comfortable and confident our dog was in great hands. Would happily continue to book with Kimmy in the future!

Eric is fantastic with my dog, Dexter! He comes by a few times per week mid-day to walk and play with Dexter while I'm at work, and sends me photos and videos of Dexter enjoying his visit. At my request, Eric gives Dexter his daily favorite green treat and wipes his paws after his walks. Communication is quick and easy, and Eric is very trustworthy entering my home and leaving it all locked up once each visit is complete. I'd definitely recommend Eric for any service he provides on Rover. Thanks Eric!! -Ryan

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!

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!

About: I cared for dogs for about two years. I would walk them and play with them. I also work part-time at a pet supplies and I know what kind of food is suitable for dogs with different problems. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with dogs and cats! I can provide door-to-door service after 12 noon on weekdays and weekends. But sometimes it might not work. I accept in-home feeding, foster and, service. I already have one dog and three cats at home. Therefore, I only accept foster kittens. I have a cat house that can accommodate kittens.

About: Your dog’s home-away-from-home—where they feel safe and loved. I offer small-scale boarding (not a kennel). This is a great option for pet parents seeking a safer alternative to kennels. Training-informed, positive-reinforcement environment. Deep experience with rescue, reactive, separation anxiety and other special-needs dogs who require a calm home environment. Home atmosphere + constant human presence. My home is quiet with a front yard that feels like you're in a small forest. Good vibes all around. I'm truly an all-around dog lover, and I and have a passion for saving, fostering, and boarding if it means a happier life for a dog and his/her human. I've had a passion for caring for dogs since I was a teenager. I've rescued several dogs from a high-kill shelter and fostered them until we found a forever home. I currently work closely with a couple of dog rescues that help find fosters or adopters for high-energy dogs in overcrowded shelters, once they've gone through an evaluation stage and the necessary training. I have dog training knowledge, and I'm also trained in dog psychology. My goal is to work with service dogs and get them ready for their new human. I have experience working with extra large breeds as well as the cute, tiny ones. I also have experience with special need dogs who require medication, If you have a special needs dog, I have experience in: Oral medication administration Injected medication administration Senior dog experience Special needs dog experience I currently work part time from my home office and tend to my plants which allows me plenty of time to devote to your furry family member. I enjoy time at home, painting, reading, cooking, gardening, playing my congas or simply relaxing in front of the television.  I enjoy caring for pets as if they were my own, which means getting to know their personalities and what they like to do for fun. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. A possible daily routine: A morning walk or let them roam the yard (depends on the owners choice), followed by breakfast and some loving. Afternoon time consists of potty breaks and some play time in the yard or indoors and some afternoon treats for everyone before they nap. I have plenty of room for your pet to run around or just lounge. I don't have any pets (as I have been fostering) or children, and there's very little to nothing that your pet could get into. My house is secured and all the windowns and doors will remain secured while your pet is visiting. My yard has a five and a half foot fence and it's secured all the way around. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. If I'm pet sitting at your location, I will follow the list of do's and don't and will always treat your home with respect.

About: Hello! My name is Helayna! I have been around big dogs, small dogs, and cats for as long as I can remember. I am 31 and I have had a golden retriever and two German shepherds. I am very comfortable with big dogs and have taken care of a lab, huskies, and chow chows just to name a few. I love playing with them and making sure they get the exercise they need. I am also a huge cat person too. I have always had cats, some super friendly, others were chill and do their own thing. I currently have one baby (profile picture, Pepper) and she is my everything. My schedule is very flexible and able to accept last minute bookings, drop ins, and house sittings. I have house sat for family and friends and their family and their friends as well. Pets are more than animals that live in your house, they are your children and need to be taken care of by people that would treat your babies like their own. I would love to meet you and your babies to give you peace of mind they are being taken care of when you are out. I am currently doing Rover full time so I am able to give all my time and attention to your pats. Monday-Friday I am available as early as 7am and can be done at 9pm at the latest. I will be able to meet and greet last minute if something came up and you need someone to watch your pet. I have a smaller patchy backyard with no dogs in the back. I do have 3 cats in my house and my area does have stray cats that roam around the backyard that sun bathe.

Justin was awesome and a perfect first impression for using Rover for my first time. Always on time and sent lots of updates and pictures and was so thoughtful and caring for my big Australian Shepherd!! He even gave him extra exercise by jogging with him from time to time! Marley is a bit reactive and doesn’t always like strangers but he loved Justin right away, he must have sensed his dog loving good vibes. 100% recommend him to anyone, especially those with bigger dogs worried about finding someone that can control their dog. 10 stars / 5 thanks a million Justin!!!

About: I have 20 years of experience in dog care and can take house and yard and can also walk the dog on time. I’ve been raising dogs for a while now. It’s a joyful experience filled with playful moments and challenges. Every day, I learn something new about their behavior and needs. They bring so much happiness and companionship into my life. It’s amazing how much love and loyalty they show. 1. Feeding: • Once or twice a day depending on the animal and vet recommendations. 2. Fresh Water: • Change water at least once daily. 3. Exercise/Playtime: • Dogs need walks (15–30minutes depending on breed). 4. Grooming (as needed): • Brushing, checking for ticks/fleas, especially for long-haired animals. 5. Clean-ups: • Scoop litter boxes, clean up after walks, or spot-clean cages. Routine Care Includes: • Feeding and Watering: According to the pet’s normal schedule. • Exercise & Play: Walks for dogs, play sessions for cats or small animals. • Medication Administration: If required — pills, drops, or injections (if trained). • Litter Box or Yard Clean-Up: Scooping, changing litter, picking up after walks. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, light tidying up, alternating lights or blinds to make the home look lived in.

If there is a specific day or amount of hours, you’d like me to stay, please feel free to reach out. When caring for your pet I want to make sure that they are as comfortable as possible. Your pet feels the safest in their home and I want to make sure that while I’m there they continue to feel safe and at peace. I will follow any rules or routines provided so that your pet is most comfortable.

About: I interned/volunteered at animal hospitals for 2 years (Rosemead Animal Hospital, Cote Animal Hospital). I also volunteered at local animal shelters since 2017. I used to live with a energetic husky girl for 2 years, she is in SF now! I am working fully remote at home. Will have time on weekdays and sometimes weekends to sit or walk them. Can do boarding on weekdays too. I have a fenced yard and no other pets in the house. I will have time to interact and walk them during the day. There is a park nearby (3 mins walk) that I can bring them.

Joselyn really stepped up in a pinch. She was professional and so great with my puppy. When she discovered my puppy had found the bathroom TP and used it as a chew toy she took her time to clean it up! Completely unnecessary but much appreciated. Top notch!

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!

Zooey did a great job of handling my sweet but stubborn dog on walks. He's very reluctant to leave the house with strangers, but she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and didn't rush him to walk farther than he wanted. Punctual, reliable, and would definitely book again!

Yuval was INCREDIBLE with our dog, Benji. She really took the time to get to know him and really leaned into his interests and needs. Some days he needed a more of a walk and other days he needed playtime or cuddles, and she gave him what he needed. She also gave very detailed daily updates and tons of photos. It really felt like she treated Benji as her own and we will forever be grateful to her for that. Knowing Benji was with someone who really cared made being away from him so much less painful. I would highly recommend her services, especially if your dog has a big personality like Benji does.

FAQs for Dog Walking - El Monte

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in El Monte on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 22,854 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across El Monte. 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 El Monte. 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 El Monte.

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 El Monte. 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.
