“Tyler did a great job caring for our puppy and house while we were away! We received photos every day and the house was immaculate when we returned. Tyler’s love of animals was evident. Would 100% book in the future!”
“Haley was wonderful taking care of our dog and home. We have already booked her for multiple dates. Bubby was happy so we were happy! She also had no problem giving him his meds.”
“Will definitely be a repeat customer with Sonya, she was fantastic! She came out to meet our fur baby Milo in advance of the stay with him and spent time listening to all the details about his care, preferences, etc. that are important to us. Additionally, she was responsive throughout our communication and regularly sent us pics and updates about how Milo was doing while we were gone. She put our minds at ease. Thanks Sonia!”
About: I grew up with dogs, had family with dogs, and have foster dogs & cats with Pasadena Humane Society for years. I’d love to help you out with your little fur baby, but I’m really in it for the snuggles. I work from home full-time and live by myself, except on the occasional weekends when the kids are around. My schedule is flexible and I can do walks twice a day and give plenty of scritches in between. I’m experienced with cones, medicine, helping older dogs in and out of the car. I am a very gentle alpha, and have never had any trouble establishing a good relationship with a dog.
“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.”
“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’ve had the pleasure of caring for my friends’ and family’s pets over the course of several years. I have given oral medications and topical treatments to some of the pets I’ve taken care of, and so much love (with a treat or two in the mix) to all of them. I’ve always felt a deep bond with animals from a young age. I do my best to make pets feel more like they’re hanging out with me rather than being a robotic supervisor. I can manage multiple pets simultaneously, having once had four cats under one roof in my care, and they all receive ample attention and affection. Thank you for considering me! I am a recent college graduate deep in the job search, but at the moment have plenty of time to hang out with your pet! I mostly just go to the gym and have the occasional board game night with my friends, so pet care is very easy to slot into my schedule. I read through care instructions very thoroughly, and I let pets introduce themselves to me when they’re comfortable. After we become acquainted I just spend some quality time with them and perform tasks as needed, like food, walks, litter boxes, etc.
“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.”
About: I've grown up around animals my whole life and have owned and cared for many different pets over the years, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of temperaments and needs. I'm a responsible, reliable student here in Pasadena, working to help support myself through school, and I take that responsibility seriously when it comes to caring for someone else's pet too. Whether it's a daily walk or watching your house and pets while you're away, I show up on time, follow your instructions closely, and treat your animals like my own. I'd love to be your go-to sitter. I'm a full-time student, so pet care fits naturally around my class and research schedule rather than competing with a 9-to-5. I have reliable open blocks most weekdays for walks and check-ins, plus wide-open evenings and weekends for overnight house sitting. I'm also happy to be flexible if your schedule changes last minute. When I'm caring for pets in your home, I treat it like my own. I follow your instructions on locks, alarms, feeding, and routines exactly, I don't have guests over, and I keep a close eye on the house the whole time I'm there. On walks, I always keep dogs leashed near roads and double check collars and harnesses before heading out.
About: With over 30 years of personal experience caring for my own cats and a history of looking after friends' dogs while they travel, I know exactly how much love, attention, and peace of mind your pets need when you can't be there.Whether it's maintaining your cat's specific daily routine or ensuring your pup gets their necessary exercise and companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can count on me to provide safe, reliable, and deeply affectionate care. I am a recent retiree and home full-time, which makes me an ideal sitter for kittens and cats, or a walker for puppies, seniors, or dogs needing extra attention. Caring for pets requires maintaining their routines and ensuring a safe environment, whether I am walking them or performing home visits. I tailor my approach around strict safety and clear communication.I send photo updates and message logs to give you peace of mind while you are away.
About: I have owned and loved dogs all of my life. Attention and love will given to your precious pet. I keep my client's pets as active as suits them while surrounding them with nature and fun. I am available full-time throughout the week. I devote my time and care as an attentive pet sitter and animal lover. 3 daily walks will be provided. I work part-time in the mornings and my wife also assists me with pet care. We love playing and interacting with our client’s pets. We make a great team! I have a large fenced yard and live in a quiet, pet friendly neighborhood . I can attend to any special needs your pet may have.
“Highly recommend Krista. She sent photos and updates throughout the day. She is very responsive and answered all my messages thoughtfully. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We will for sure call her back :)”
“Delia was awesome…I would leave Oggie, my poodle with her anytime. She stayed at my house and it was wonderful to leave him in his own surroundings. She walked him and took great pics for us.”
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.
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!
“Another lovely housesit from Celest, who answered a last minute request to care for our pup (Nebula) while we were out of town for 4 days! Celest is communicative, collaborative on feedback, and has a warm, trusting personality that was the ideal fit for Nebula! Celest’s patience and kindness was much appreciated given that Nebula can be a bit anxious. She followed all care instructions for the house and we arrived home to a clean space along with a very happy, well cared for pup 🥹💛 We look forward to having Celest with us again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for gentle care for their pet!”
“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.”
“Monica was great. She was not only attentive to our pup’s needs, but Monica genuinely enjoyed her time with her. She sent pictures or texts to me daily which put my mind at ease. And on top of that, she left my house in tip top shape, sparkling clean! I would highly recommend Monica as a sitter for your pet.”

**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!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
