“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!”
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.
“Tyler was an absolute gem when we needed a great cat sitter while we were away for our honeymoon. Tyler sent constant updates (not enough to overwhelm) and was very prompt with answering texts. My cats seem to have loved Tyler and barely noticed us being away for 2 weeks! If you value your cats’ comfort while also being comfortable knowing your cats are safe, give Tyler a try!”
“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!!”
“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.”
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!
“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.”
“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. ?”
“Katherine is the best dog sitter, and trust me, it is better than you could have dreamt up. The communication is through, the rules are followed to a T, my apartment was better than I left it (sorry) and my dog was ecstatic to be with her. I will be booking Katherine as much as she can handle due to my work travel. Very appreciative dog dad!”
About: For over 21 years, I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. In addition to raising and caring for my own dog, I have successfully completed numerous pet and house sitting assignments through a couple of online marketplaces, earning exclusively 5-star reviews and multiple repeat invitations from pet owners. My experience includes caring for puppies, senior pets, anxious pets, multi-pet households, and maintaining consistent routines tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I pride myself on providing a calm, loving, and structured environment that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their families are away. My professional background managing luxury homes, investment properties, and complex operations has made me exceptionally detail-oriented, organized, dependable, and proactive. I treat every home with the same level of respect, cleanliness, responsibility, and care that I would expect for my own, providing both pets and their families with the highest level of comfort and peace of mind. I recently relocated to Southern California and currently maintain a very flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a wide variety of pet care needs. I am available during weekdays, evenings, weekends, holidays, and for overnight stays. As I establish my professional pet care business in California, I am prioritizing flexibility, reliability, and building long-term relationships with pets and their families. This allows me to provide attentive care, prompt communication, and customized support based on each household’s specific needs and routines. Safety, consistency, and communication are my highest priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s established routines, feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, and behavioral preferences to minimize stress and provide a comfortable experience. Having cared for pets in a wide variety of home environments, I understand the importance of maintaining a clean, organized, and secure environment while respecting each family’s home and privacy. I provide regular updates, photos, videos and prompt communication so pet parents can enjoy complete peace of mind while away. I maintain a calm, organized lifestyle, non-smoker, sober-minded and have extensive experience caring for pets that require additional patience, affection, structure, or attention due to age, anxiety, or personality differences.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Monrovia
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Monrovia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Monrovia on Rover is $73.26 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 15,314 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.
