About: I am your friendly, neighborhood, middle-aged auntie that loves and cares for pets and animals. I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and now poultry. I specialize in dog walks and drop in visits for all of your critters. I mainly conduct all of my own pet chores in the morning, so I can be available for your pet needs later on in the day! I carefully follow instructions to conduct my drop in visits, and I will ask for clarification if something is missing at the home. I can walk dogs and check in on reptiles, fish, mammals, and poultry.

About: I grew up with a medium-sized Cocker Spaniel mix who was part of my family for 17 years. I was involved in caring for him throughout his life, and during his senior years, I spent even more time by his side. I prepared his meals, helped with his daily needs, and assisted with his oxygen therapy when needed. Caring for him taught me how to be patient, gentle, and attentive to a dog’s individual needs, especially as they get older. I genuinely love animals and would care for every pet with the same patience and affection I gave my own. As a college student, my schedule varies throughout the week, but I have plenty of time outside of classes to care for pets. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and drop-in visits throughout the week. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect every pet’s individual routine and personality. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Working as a teacher and pet sitter have taught me many of the same skills: patience, communication, responsibility, and genuine care. I’ve traveled across the U.S. to pet sit for both cats and dogs, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m attentive to owners’ instructions and take their trust seriously. Whether it’s keeping up with a feeding schedule, making sure a dog gets plenty of exercise, or giving a shy cat some extra space and patience, I do my best to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and always aim to leave a place as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time before and after work to provide attentive care, and I’m generally able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s needs. I live a calm lifestyle and enjoy spending time at home, so pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a safe, comfortable home with a backyard where pets can get some fresh air and space to explore. I also live right next to a park with a designated pet area and plenty of greenery, which makes it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor time. I want pets in my care to feel comfortable and at home, while also following their owner’s routines, instructions, and preferences.

So I brought Sammy over to Sylvia’s place and she felt right at home. She took her for a walk and Sammy loved it! Sylvia is a true animal lover it seems and really cared for Sammy during the drop in! I would 100% take Sammy back there!

About: Hi! My name is Kenji and I have an adorable 6 year old dashschund named Winston. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and spending time with pets is something that genuinely brings me joy. Over the past 10 years, I've become the go-to dog sitter for my friends and family because they know I'll care for their pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I would my own. I've looked after dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies who love to explore to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for reactive dogs and understand the importance of staying calm, recognizing their triggers, respecting their boundaries, and following their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether we're going for a walk, playing fetch, sticking to their daily routine, or just relaxing together, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll always follow your care instructions, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a wagging tail, earning a shy dog's trust, or knowing an owner can travel with complete peace of mind. I treat every pet like family, and I'd love the opportunity to care for yours. I work remotely with a flexible schedule and have minimal meetings throughout the day, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m typically available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and keeping pets company. I enjoy building pet care into my daily routine, whether that means taking a dog out for a walk, providing enrichment and play, following their normal schedule, or simply spending quality time with them. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to be attentive to pets’ needs and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My flexible schedule also allows me to be consistent and dependable with each pet’s routine, which I know is especially important for dogs who thrive on structure and familiarity. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to follow each owner's instructions closely and provide care that fits their normal schedule. During walks, I prioritize safety while making sure dogs get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they need. I’m comfortable adjusting the pace and style of walks based on each dog's energy level, age, and temperament, including being patient with dogs who may be nervous or reactive. For drop-in visits, I provide more than just the basics—I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, meals if needed, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain their pet’s routine, and make sure both the pet and home are left safe and comfortable.

About: *For boarding and day care, your loved one would be staying in a dog-free fenced-in home, allowing for a calm, low-stress environment with individualized attention. I only provide care for one client household at a time* Hi, I’m Steven—a retired restaurant manager who brings the same responsibility, consistency, and attention to detail to pet care. I’m calm, patient, and dependable, helping dogs feel safe and relaxed. I’ve been professionally caring for dogs for over 20 years and dog-sit for regular clients throughout most of the year. Many of those clients have encouraged me to open more availability on Rover so more pet parents can benefit from the care I provide. I do especially well with dogs who thrive on steady routines, gentle handling, and clear communication. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I focus on reliable, attentive care and ensuring they feel comfortable and well looked after at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and have open availability. I do not have competing work commitments, so I can give your dog consistent attention throughout the day rather than fitting care around another job. I can maintain their usual feeding schedule, walks, medication routine, playtime, rest, and companionship. Because I care for dogs from only one client household at a time, I’m able to provide the flexibility, supervision, and individualized attention each dog deserves. I am Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certified. Every pet is unique, so I tailor care to their individual needs, routine, and comfort habits. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I closely follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and any special care needs to help keep their routine as familiar as possible. Safety always comes first. I maintain a calm, low-stress environment and use secure entry and exit procedures, careful leash handling, and close supervision during walks, outdoor time, and play. For boarding and day care in my home, I provide care for dogs from only one client household at a time, helping avoid the stress and risks that can come with unfamiliar group settings. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

About: I focus on building trust with pets through individualized attention and routines, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you're away. My dedication to providing top-notch care, along with my understanding of each pet’s unique needs, makes me a reliable and compassionate choice for pet sitting. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine, as I prioritize providing personalized attention and care for each pet I sit for. Each day starts with a check-in to ensure the pets are fed, exercised, and mentally stimulated according to their specific needs. I incorporate regular walks, playtime, and training sessions to maintain their physical and emotional well-being. Throughout the week, I keep consistent communication with pet owners, providing updates and ensuring everything runs smoothly. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that it is a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of space for play, relaxation, and exploration. I follow each pet's routine closely, offering meals at the same time, regular walks, and play sessions to maintain their normal activities.

Alexandria was THE BEST sitter my cat has ever had! She was punctual, dependable, easy to communicate with, and such a sweetheart! My 15-year-old cat, Miko, has very specific eating instructions and supplements she takes every day. Alex followed directions perfectly while we were gone for a week. I felt so assured that my cat was being taken care of in such a loving way. Alex sent me updates and pictures everyday. Miko doesn’t warm up easily to people immediately, but she bonded with Alex right away! I totally understand why — Alex is a sweet and loving sitter who will take care of your pets with all her heart! I will continue to use her services and refer all my friends and fam to her! <3

Sydney is the best! I'm such a worrying dog-mom, and she could not have been more perfect. She was highly communicative with me and was very easy to get in touch with. I also love that she is a vet tech. That put my mind at ease the whole time we were away. If she noticed small changes in my dog's behavior she would take precautions and monitored him like a pro. Even my neighbor commented on how wonderful she was and how our dog just fell in love with her. I will use Sydney every time we travel in the future!

Faye is all you could ask for in a pet sitter and more! She went above and beyond in caring for our two cats and we could not have felt more at ease knowing they were in her hands. She gave them attention, stimulation, and attended to all of their needs. She kept us well informed of how they were doing and even went to great lengths to battle the ant colony that decide to invade their food dishes while we were away. We are so grateful for all of Faye’s efforts and care and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

Christina took care of our kitties for 8 days while we were away on vacation. I can not begin to explain how attentive, caring and kind she was. She went out of her way to make sure our cats were happy and was super communicative throughout the whole process. During her meet and greet visit, she listened carefully to our instructions and asked many questions. Which reassured me that I was leaving my cats in capable and loving hands. Without a doubt I will be contacting Christina for my future trips. Thank you for everything.

Courtney has been absolutely wonderful with Archer. She is incredibly dedicated, thoughtful, and attentive in the way she cares for him. It’s clear that she genuinely takes the time to understand his needs and personality, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. What really stands out is how much she goes the extra mile. Whether it’s taking a bit of extra time to make sure he’s settled, paying attention to the small details, or simply showing up with consistency and care, she never treats it like a checklist. She truly looks out for him. I trust her completely, which is not something I say lightly when it comes to Archer. Knowing he’s in her care means I don’t have to worry, and that’s invaluable. I would absolutely recommend Courtney to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in the well-being of their pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Monterey Park on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 9,742 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Monterey Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
