“We've gone with Vanessa to house-sit our Jack Russell Terrier, Maddie multiple times now and she's the best! She's quick to respond to texts and always leaves the place neat and clean. She also sends us texts and pictures of Maddie while we're gone which we love. Knowing Maddie is with Vanessa while we're gone makes our trips 100 times more enjoyable. She's awesome!”
“Sheila did an amazing job with two dogs that can be difficult for strangers including an abused foster that does not like people at all. House and dogs were in amazing shape when we returned. Thanks a ton Sheila!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of many kinds under up to 10 years now. I have done everything from home sitting or in home dog care to providing doggy hotel service utilizing my own home. I am a consultant who makes my own schedule and in my free time I make myself available to be a fill in doggo mom. I stay in a wonderful luxury community where dog walks and outside fun will be fenced within the community and there is plenty of pet accommodations.
“We were updated throughout our vacation with photos and reports, the house was clean when we returned and the animals were healthy and content. What more could anyone ask for? Very pleased and fully intend to ask Delia to pet sit for us in the future.”
About: I grew up with family pets such as nursing my 3 legged dog and rescuing cats. As well, as sitting for my cousins family pets! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I am available mornings and afternoons! A daily walk is great of me and my furry friend I care for my furry friends like family. I believe animals are pure innocence and need love and patience. Every animal has different levels of energy and socialization. They should be serviced to what they need!
About: I work at a puppy preschool training different breeds and ages of dogs. I have 2 dogs and 2 reptiles of my own, and watch my neighbors cats. Im currently working part time and doing school full time, mainly online. With this I have time to spare doing what | love; working with animals. My schedule is open, every other Saturday I do have to be at the nearly Fire Station due to being a Fire Explorer. In regards to caring for pets in my clients home I would take the pet for a walk, playing with them to initiate brain stimulation, and physical activity. If there were to be specific instructions left by the owners, I would try to accurately meet their accommodations.
“Tamar was fantastic with my four-year-old husky. She has a husky herself so she understood the nuances.She was very attentive and stayed for long periods of time. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. The communication is superb and follow up was really appreciated. Tamar was very respectful of my house, I definitely recommend using Tamar for housesitting.”
“Joliana was so wonderful with our cat, Siri! We are always a little nervous to leave our elderly girl who has some light separation anxiety, and needs daily medication, but Joliana did great! She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.”
“This was our initial contact with Loretta. Last minute, very old dog, and a holiday week. special needs and overnights. That all seems like a tough nut to crack. Loretta did just that with maturity and professionalism. We will be asking for her services going forward.”
“Hayley was amazing! So communicative and thorough in the details, and even had some helpful insight for some health stuff with our dog that we weren’t aware of! We’re very much looking forward to having her watch Willow again. ?”
About: I am have had over 10 years of expience with taking care of animals. I have grown up with animals my whole life. I am patient , caring , and will all I do to make your baby as comfortable as possible! I want to alleviate the stress of finding someone to provide the utmost care for your family member! I will make sure to check in via text photos and videos! I am also a notary public so I have been fingerprinted and live scanned and nationally ! So do not hesitate to call or ask me anything! I references from all my neighbors and clients that I have worked for in the past and currently ! I am an open book ! Ask me anything ! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day. I plan my day around each pet’s needs, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and companionship. I make sure every pet receives individualized care, maintains their normal routine, and feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.. I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care for pets in both my home and my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection. I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being by maintaining a clean environment, monitoring their health and behavior, and ensuring they feel secure while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect the home by keeping it clean, following all instructions, and providing regular updates with photos and messages so owners have peace of mind.
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: 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!
“Kevin took wonderful care of our dog, Watson, while we were away from June 25 to July 2. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He took Watson on walks to parks and trails, played ball with him using a long leash so he could safely enjoy the feeling of being off leash, followed all of our feeding instructions, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. We always felt connected and knew Watson was in great hands. What impressed us most was how observant Kevin was. Everything he told us about Watson matched his personality perfectly, which reassured us that he was truly paying attention and getting to know him as an individual. It’s clear that Kevin understands dogs, genuinely cares about them, and gives them the love and attention they deserve. We came home to a happy, healthy dog, and that says everything. We highly recommend Kevin and would absolutely trust him with Watson again.”
“Alex did a great job with my 3 girls! She was attentive and sent me many pictures of my girls while we were away. I highly recommended her and would book her again with no reservations! Awesome sitter!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all ages since I was a child. I trained my own fur baby and have helped my friends with their own puppies. I am currently working full-time (9-5) however I am available to house sit on the weekend. I am available to walk dogs in the morning before 8:30AM and after 5PM. Message me and we can always find a schedule that works for the both of us. I set a fairly strict schedule for my dogs. I wake up around 6AM and walk the dogs for about 30 minutes. I feed them before I go off to work and take them out to the park for play time after I get home. I always put the fur babies first in ensuring their happiness and comfort.
“Sonia was great about communicating with us throughout the weekend. The house was in great shape and our dog appeared relaxed and well-cared for when we came home. Thanks, Sonia!”

**Absolute Perfection!** Sheila is truly amazing! We left our dogs in her care over the weekend, and she treated them like her own. We were able to enjoy our weekend without stress or worry! Her loving approach completely put us at ease. She provided regular updates throughout our time away, so we always knew what they were up to. Sheila is very professional. She came on time and communicated her schedule with us frequently. We came home to incredibly happy, healthy, and safe dogs. To top it all off, Sheila was so incredibly kind and even left a beautiful, thoughtful gift for the dogs and a kind note for us before she left. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and will absolutely be reaching out to her again. Highly, highly recommend!
Pepper had a great time with Melanie while we were on vacation. She stayed at overnight at our home and looked after dog very well even after the dog had a little hiccup with the leash and harness. Melanie is respectful and a great communicator. We all appreciate Melanie very much and look forward to hiring her again!.
Pasha and Nathan were absolutely fantastic with our home, two dogs, and new cat. They were reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of everything while we were away. All of our pets were happy, relaxed, and well loved when we returned, and the house was in great shape. We would happily book them again.
Joliana was so wonderful with our cat, Siri! We are always a little nervous to leave our elderly girl who has some light separation anxiety, and needs daily medication, but Joliana did great! She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.
Jessica is the perfect sitter! I knew she was a good fit when our dog went up to her right away when we did a meet and greet. He is very particular, or I should say skeptical. I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and we come home to happy animals and a house as we left it (or maybe better?) Can not recommend her enough!
Sara did such a great job taking care of our cat! She gave him the care he needed, including getting his daily medication. She was also really communicative and sent tons of photos! She also took great care of our home while she stayed there, everything was very clean when we returned. We hope to continue to use her whenever we need a pet sitter:)
We had a great experience with Imani and her fiancé! They were very good at communicating before and during the stay and sent updates and photos of our dogs. Our dog and puppy were very happy and comfortable with them. We felt completely at ease leaving our dogs in their care. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Monrovia on Rover is $73.26 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 15,026 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Monrovia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Monrovia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Monrovia maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Monrovia choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monrovia. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters 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.
