House Sitting Monrovia

“Vanessa was wonderful! She took great care of our senior little guy. Just the right amount of communication and pics. We’ll be using her again. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs as a child, which gave me an early appreciation for the companionship, care, and attention pets need. I currently have three cats, ranging from 2 to 6 years old, and I adopted each of them when they were young kittens at around 2-3 months old. Caring for them from kittenhood into adulthood has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box care, grooming, playtime, and caring for multiple pets at once. I’m also comfortable caring for shy or nervous pets and understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m patient and willing to give them the time and space they need to feel safe. I can follow detailed care instructions closely and have experience giving oral medication when needed. I love spending quality time with animals, whether that means playing with them, going on a walk, giving them treats, keeping them company, or simply sitting nearby so they feel comfortable. I treat pets like family and will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m often able to accommodate short-notice requests and can also plan ahead for longer visits or pet-sitting needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and do my best to keep their schedule consistent while you’re away. I’m happy to come to your pet’s familiar environment, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, treats, basic grooming, medication as instructed, and plenty of companionship and attention. I’ll also follow any specific care instructions you provide and do my best to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. I understand that some pets may be shy or need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and happy to let them approach at their own pace.

“Hayley took such good care of our babies! She was communicative and we felt very at ease on our trip knowing our children were being loved on. She provided photos and daily updates. From the meet and greet we could tell right away that she really loved animals. We would highly recommend her for your next sit! Thank you, Hayley!!”

“Caleb was amazing! I was nice to be out of the country and feel like my dogs were really being taken care of. He sent daily updates that helped knowing everything was going well. Our dogs did much better staying home in their environment.”

Laura R.

“First time we used Emily. She took care of our German Shepherd and Cat. Both were well taken care of, communication was great and Emily was very patient getting instructions and updates from us. We will hire her again.”

Claudia S.

“Celest is a true professional. We hired her to dog/cat/house sit and she was wonderful. She was attentive to our senior dogs needs and not afraid to ask questions so they received the best possible care. She sent us daily updates and sent cute photos of the pets enjoying their time with her. We will definitely hire Celest again without hesitation and you should hire her too.”

Whether your dog needs time outside of the house or a friendly face during the day; I offer dog sitting and/or walking, as well as overnight care at owner’s house (aka housesitting).

About: As a long time owner of a working breed, I am familiar with energetic dogs that need both physical activity and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. I go on daily hour long strolls each evening with my own dog as well as morning walks with play sessions scattered throughout the day. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've regularly helped friends and watch their dogs while they're away. This has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's taking them on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, providing companionship, or making sure they feel comfortable in a new environment, I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique needs and personality! When caring for your dog, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, or simply providing companionship and attention. I live in a home with a fenced backyard with my partner who is also work from home, so we have a very flexible schedule and will always have at least one person supervising your pet. Since I've also used dog sitting apps before for when I needed to travel abroad, I understand how important it is to keep you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I'm currently in-between jobs, so I'll have plenty of time to spend the day with your pups! This also means my current schedule is very flexible to fit around your dogs routine and needs. I have a fenced backyard with a friendly 4 year old Samoyed in a very walk-able neighborhood. I have a dog bed is most rooms around the house so they can pick and choose wherever they wish to lounge.

About: Hi, I'm Martin, and caring for animals has been part of my life for decades. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I work hard to make both pets and their owners feel comfortable from the very beginning. Whether your dog needs daily walks, companionship, medication reminders, or simply a calm place to relax, I provide attentive, individualized care. I host only a limited number of pets at a time so each animal receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I enjoy getting to know every pet's personality, routine, and preferences. Some dogs love long walks and playtime, while others prefer a slower pace and lots of cuddles. My goal is to maintain the routine that keeps your pet happy and stress-free while you're away. Why Pet Owners Choose Me Decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats Reliable communication with regular photo and message updates Experience with senior pets and administering oral medications Calm, patient approach with shy or nervous animals Clean, smoke-free home environment One-on-one attention rather than a crowded boarding setting During Your Pet's Stay Your pet will be treated like family. They will receive: Regular walks and potty breaks Playtime and companionship Plenty of affection and supervision Photo updates so you can see how they're doing A safe, comfortable environment designed to reduce stress My Promise I understand that pets are family members, not just animals. My commitment is to provide the same level of care, patience, and kindness that I would want for my own pet. I'm committed to making sure your pets are happy and well cared for. I love spending time with them, and they are a big part of my daily life. I have plenty of free time, so I can always be there for them—whether it's taking dogs for walks while I run errands or playing with your cats. Your pets' happiness and comfort are my top priorities. In my cozy apartment, it sometimes feels a bit empty without a pet. But I really love taking care of animals and enjoy spending time with them. When I have a dog, it encourages me to go on relaxing walks, which is good for both of us.

About: I've been around pets of all kinds (dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, crabs, birds) growing up. I've dog sat through college for friends and though couldn't have my own (due to apt living), have always been the classic auntie for my pals' pets! I do a great job with play/rest/cuddle care, hygiene (poop scooping/pee on pads or outdoors), and food/treats (that align with their diets/needs). I work remotely from home, but have a lot of flexibility and so love going out on walks/adventures myself. So visiting other fur pals sounds like it's right up my alleyway whether it's in a gap break between work needs and/or before or after work. Whether in your home or mine, I'm fully aware that your pet is their own full of own history/needs/comforts/safetys/fears too and so I practice having a really curious and calm posture that allows them to ease in. I'm master of the waiting game (you can ask my human nieces/nephews, they get tired of repetition/waiting before me) and so love creating a space that your pet can ease into and enjoy with of course a routine/structure that works for them (which is given by you). I love it!

About: I used to volunteer at animal shelters throughout high school and pet sit for family friends. I am currently an animal science major so I know a lot about pets and how to care for them. I make it my mission to treat every animal I see like my own and show nothing but love and comfort. I am currently a student in college as well as an after school leader at an elementary school. I only go to school 2 days a week but those days i have closed off for certain services. Mondays I am only out of my home from 2-4 and Wednesdays from 2:30-6. Other than those days and time I am completely available for your fur baby. I do offer dog walking and drop ins everyday, but only around certain times. I will have plenty of time to play around with your pets and make sure they are well taken care of. I tend to go on walks daily so dog walking fits perfectly. I have a fenced yard and a big backyard for the times I care for pets at my home. I have 2 small dogs, 1 keeps to herself and is very calm, the other is very playful and likes to run around with other dogs. However it is very easy to separate my fur babies from yours if you aren’t comfortable with other dogs. I have 2 sides to my house and can keep them on opposite sides. I am close to several dog parks as well and in case of emergency close to a veterinary clinic. I am very careful with instructions if there is any special needs your pets have. I always make sure the pets I look after are happy and well taken care of.

“Viky went so far above and beyond! This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter overnight and we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommended!”

“Mike was fantastic caring for my 3 dogs for nearly 2 weeks. He’s a good communicator and my dogs and home were well cared for. Will definitely reach out to him again.”

“Kimmy is awesome! We are repeat clients of hers and will continue to be. Kimmy follows our schedule for our dogs with care and compassion. If you are looking for a diligent, reliable sitter, book Kimmy!”

“Alexis agreed to watch Roxy and Neo at our home with less than a week to go before our trip. We put in the request and she came for a meet and greet on the same day. She took great care of our babies, giving them lots of love and allowing their routine to stay as close to normal as possible. We were able to relax and really enjoy our holidays with our families knowing she was looking after them. She went above and beyond and left the house nice for us so that we could come home and get straight to resting with our animals. We are so grateful for her and hope she’ll watch Roxy and Neo again! 10/10 would recommend choosing Alexis for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I have not cared for any dogs for long but I am happy to learn, grow, and develop to help care for your pets. I am open to learning new skills that will show the most care and love for your pet. I am currently working and have school but I am happy to care for you pets. I typically finish work at 9 am so any time after that I would be happy to come help you. Normally I care for pets in my clients home and make sure that the pets are receiving constant care. I am good with following schedules and routines for not only the pets but also for the owners home. I want the pets I care for to be safe, comfortable, and loved and bring peace of mind to their owners.

“Alan and Melissa clearly love dogs, and they did an admirable job of looking after our German shepherd for three days. In fact, we have already booked them for a longer stay during Thanksgiving week. They are a responsible, personable couple--the sort of dog sitters that are a credit to the Rover service.”

“I just want to give a big fat THANK YOU to Rudy for watching over Annie while I was in crutches and also for caring for her post-surgery. Rudy is incredibly sweet and attentive to our baby. She wags her tail in glee whenever Rudy comes around. Really so glad we found someone we totally trust with our pup. Will definitely book with him again!”

“Rachel was great! She definitely put my mind at ease while house sitting my dog when i was out of town. She was very communicative and provided daily updates. Thanks again Rachel! ?”
