About: What sets me apart? I don’t just “watch” pets — I vibe with them. I’m the kind of sitter who talks to your dog like we’ve been besties for years and gives your cat space like the royalty they are. I bring love, energy, and just the right amount of spoiling (yes, belly rubs included). I’ve got a soft heart for animals and a sixth sense for their moods — whether they need zoomies in the yard or a cozy couch nap. I’m reliable, always on time, and I send photo updates like I’m running your pet’s Instagram. Basically? I’m the sitter your pet brags about to their friends. 🐾😎 I’m fully available on Wednesdays and Sundays for pet care services — whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays. On Saturdays, I’m available after 5 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and keep things as consistent and comfortable for them as possible. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out — I’ll always do my best to accommodate! When I’m caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their familiar space. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine — from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and bedtime snuggles (if they’re into that!). I keep things clean, calm, and consistent, and I always send updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I respect your home like it’s my own and always leave things just as I found them — or better!

About: I grew up in a home with many dogs and have been comfortable caring for pets since childhood. After moving to the U.S., my family also had a cat, and for the past 9–10 years I have been the primary caregiver for my own cat, Miley. Because of that, I’m especially experienced with cat care, including feeding routines, litter box care, observing appetite and energy level, and helping cats feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, and I never force interaction. I speak both English and Mandarin Chinese and can provide clear photo updates after each visit. I work a hybrid schedule with a mix of remote work and time outside the home, which gives me a good amount of flexibility throughout the week. I’m usually able to plan my day around scheduled drop-in visits, especially for local cat care. I’m often available in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends, and I do my best to keep visits consistent with each pet’s normal routine. I care for pets by following the owner’s instructions closely and keeping the pet’s routine as consistent as possible. During each visit, I check food, water, litter box, appetite, energy level, and any noticeable behavior changes. I respect shy or anxious cats and never force interaction. I will send clear updates and photos after each visit.

About: I have loved and cared for animals my entire life. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of various breeds, ages, and temperaments, including puppies, active dogs, and seniors needing extra patience. I understand that every pet is a cherished family member, and I treat them with the exact same level of love, attention, and caution as my own. Whether it’s strict feeding schedules, administering oral medication, enforcing gentle training routines, or providing plenty of play and affection, I am dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. You can count on frequent photo and video updates to give you complete peace of mind! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine! Since I work flexibly from home, I am able to offer full-time presence, constant supervision, and genuine companionship for your pets throughout the day. My schedule allows for regular potty breaks, structured walk times, continuous play sessions, and fixed feeding routines. Because I’m at home most of the time, pets in my care receive plenty of affection and never feel lonely. I am available for both weekday and weekend care, boarding, and daycare, ensuring your pet enjoys a consistent and stress-free routine. Safety and comfort are my highest priorities. My home is fully pet-proofed, quiet, and secure, providing a relaxing and clean environment for your furry baby. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely stretch their legs and play under close supervision. Inside, pets have full access to cozy resting areas and plenty of space to relax. I follow your exact home rules and instructions regarding crate use, couch access, and feeding protocols. Furthermore, I keep emergency vet contacts readily available and maintain strict safety procedures during outdoor walks and greetings to guarantee your pet's complete safety at all times.

About: I'm super patient and I'm very attentive. I just love looking after others in general and I find joy in work like this. I've looked after my sick parents and after my sibling most of my life, I was also one of the eldest kids in my church community so I was depended on to look after them a lot of the times as well. From there I was depended on for other things like looking after the occasional pet by family friends from the church and from my own friends. As of right now regularly help take care of my girlfriend's little Pomeranian and I love him. Right now, all I am is a full-time student so other than my classes I have very little commitment and will be free for most requests. Even if my schedule overlaps I also have a very flexible schedule so I don't have to consider if I'm free too much. When with a pet, I am not just physically present but mentally too, ready to anticipate any need and determine how to satisfy it. Always ready to look out for any potential danger and on my toes to be ready to deal with anything if needed.

I understand what pets need and the care they deserve from everyday operation at the facility I work at. I acquired a B.S. in Animal Science from Cal Poly Pomona to strengthen my understanding of animal health and welfare. I’m currently working towards my trainers certification, which is done at home at my own pace. I have an empty and free schedule to dedicate all my time to giving your best friend a positive experience!!! I have a 10 foot high fence and 8 foot surrounding barriers. My yard can accommodate 5-6 large dogs for them to run around and play comfortably. I also take dogs on 15-30 minute walks giving them opportunities to sniff and explore their environment just like they were meant to!

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve owned multiple dogs and have experience caring for up to 4 dogs at once. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so if your dog is staying with me, I’ll be home throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. If you’re booking dog walking or drop-in visits, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stop by reliably and ensure your pet receives the care they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac in a townhome with a fully fenced private patio. My home is equipped with exterior security cameras, as well as an indoor camera that overlooks the main living area for added peace of mind. I enjoy taking dogs on walks through my quiet neighborhood, and there’s also a large fenced park nearby for exercise and play. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that routine, and I also have a spare room available if they would benefit from having their own quiet space to relax.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always been the type of person who treats them like family. I currently have two Australian Cattle Dogs, Copper (7) and Oso (3), so I’m very used to energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and stimulation. I’m an active person and genuinely enjoy being outside, so I’d love to take your dog on walks, hikes, or even runs if that’s something they enjoy. I’m also comfortable with puppies and can help with things like potty training and reinforcing basic training while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while they’re with me. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and treat them the same way I’d want someone to treat Copper and Oso. I’d love to meet your fur babies! I attend school every other day and try to do homework over the weekends, so I’d be available All day Monday and Wednesday and Friday mornings! I have had dogs all my life and will always be sure that the pets I am trusted with are always safe and in good hands!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - La Puente

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in La Puente is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 21,784 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across La Puente. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Puente. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.

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.
