Pet Sitting El Monte

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.

“Kimmy was incredible with Ernesto. Regular photo check-ins, very communicative, and kept me updated on everything. Would hire again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and have always loved animals. I’ve had my own dog for the past 5 years and my own cat for 8 years, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable with different sizes, ages, and personalities, and with walks, feeding, playtime, and following your pet’s normal routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I’ll treat them like my own and keep you updated with plenty of pictures! I work full-time during the week, but I’m available in the evenings and have much more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to help with evening walks, drop-in visits, weekend care, and overnight stays. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so your pet will always get the time and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and take the time to make sure their pet feels comfortable with me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else that keeps your pet safe. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and leave everything the way I found it. I’m always happy to send pictures and updates so you know how your pet is doing.

“Really communicative and flexible. Helped take care of our cat when we were out of town for two weeks. Highly recommend!”

“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! ❤️”

About: I love spending time caring for animals. I have grown up taking in stray cats and dogs. Animals gravitate towards me and I them. They're my favorite I do work full time. But I will make myself available over weekends. I may also work on weekdays as my schedule allows for it. I am not able to pet sit in my home. But I will take diligent notes to ensure your pet is happy and safe while you're out.

“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!”

About: I have experience in training my own and others puppies as well as providing senior care for elderly dogs. I pride myself in my attention to detail when it comes to care. I am a student with free time slots throughout the day that I can arrange to provide you the best care to you and your pets needs. Providing care within your home will be easy and carefree with my attention to detail for your pets care and safety. I plan to stay in great touch to provide the ultimate service for your pets.

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.

“We love Destiny. She's really great with our dogs, she is great at keeping us informed on what's going on while we are away, and the dogs love her!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for more than 35 years for neighbors, friends and family including special needs, vision impaired, in diapers, senior/older dogs, aggressive behaviors as well as big and small. I’ve cared for many breeds both in their homes as well as my home. I’m a professional musician and I work 1-3 nights/week so my schedule varies and is flexible when planned in advance. I can sit in your home or mine. I try to schedule around my part time work schedule. My retired husband is my dog sitting partner so we can accommodate most schedules. Our home has a fenced backyard and a friendly mixed pointer and pug to keep your dog company. The dogs can enjoy the backyard frequently through the day, the back door is often kept open. During the night the dogs and are kept indoors from 12am-7:30am. Dogs can see on their own dog beds or even our sofas. We are a dog family and we’ve housed many dogs through the years. When caring for your dogs in your home, I try to maintain your routines as much as possible. I give lots of affection, petting frequently, brushing once a day. If owner prefers, I allow pets to sit with me, on me. I prefer not to sleep with them. However, if that is what they are accustomed to I am willing. Please warn me if they are loud snorers (like my husband lol)

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.

“Carol was so great with Barley! My dog is anxious and very selective with new folks. Carol took the time to get to know him during our meet & greet and it went so well. Because Barley is anxious, I have detailed instructions when he gets drop in visits or goes on walks with others and Carol took detailed notes without hesitation and did an amazing job. I would book Carol again!”

“My dog, Selena, can be a little overexcited but Melissa matched her energy and was playing with her in our yard! Also loved the doggy report card and the video/pics :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 14 years old. My husky was a very reactive and energetic so I am well trained on dogs that pull or lunge. I also have a passion in running. If your dog loves to go on runs then we’re a perfect match! I am currently freelancing some projects. I have lots of free time throughout the week. I would love to spend my free time going on walks or doing drop ins. As an active person, I’m happy to provide jogging or running sessions for high energy dogs who need extra exercise and stimulation. I can also walk and hike long distance. Whatever your dog’s fitness level, I will match it.

About: Family and friends have relied on me for several years to watch their pets and give them the utmost care. My love of animals has led me to care for many types of dogs and cats over the years, ranging from puppies and kittens to seniors. I am currently a dad to two dogs and a cat of my own. I always strive to treat your pets just like my own and give them the utmost care, with concern for safety and happiness. I am excited to meet new people and animals. I aim to please not only you but your little ones too. In addition to dog care, I have experience with sport/working dogs in caring for their need for exercise. I work for the West Covina Unified School District as a substitute instructional aide. My work hours are 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. Making me open for the weekends. My first priority is your pet's safety. Making sure your little ones are fed on schedule and, depending on whether they are kept indoors or outdoors, that their areas are clean with access to new daily water.

About: I’ver cared for animals for years and genuinely enjoy earning their trust. I’ve owned and cared for cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I have dog sat for a month. This fits to my schedule because I have any other day Monday and Wednesday due to classes, but even so I can work after class too! I’ve always treated my cat like family, and I know how important it is to trust someone with a pet you love so deeply. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy making cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“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!”

About: I’m an animal lover and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I have an associate degree in veterinary technology to become an RVT and soon to be a Veterinarian when I’m older. I have a big passion for animals providing love and attentive care. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, happy, and I would love to give your furry babies the same care and attention I give to my own! <3. I’m currently working part time as a vet assistant at my job. Otherwise I am available most of the time. Although some days can change such as dropping my brother off to school in the mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As a veterinary assistant with an associate degree in Veterinary Technology, I understand the importance of making sure a pet feels loved and safe under my care. In fact, I like to put myself in their shoes and think before I do something. Such as if they ever feel scared when meeting me, I’ll let them smell me and get used to my scent before petting them. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to provide a loving, stress free environment and follow each pet’s individual needs and routines. I will carefully follow the owner’s instructions, provide updates, and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.
