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 house sit for regular clients throughout most of the year - I am away from home often. Many of those clients have encouraged me to open more availability on Rover so more pet parents can benefit from the care I provide when I'm staying home. 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.

“Taylor did an amazing job watching my dog Bugsy. She was on time, followed instructions, kept me updated on how my dog was doing and was instantly a best friend and safe person for my anxious dog. I can’t wait to have Taylor watch Bugsy again :)”

“Like a family friend from the very first meet. Lanaye fit in instantly. Our dog who has her quirks took to her immediately. Trustworthy, responsible, respectful and communicative, Lanaye is awesome!”

“Laura was incredible with our kitty! She is older and she has medical needs and she handled it with perfection while we took a much needed break. We had lots of photos, videos and updates and she was amazing at communicating with us the whole time! Our house was spotless and I would absolutely have her sit for us again!!”

“This is our second time booking with Jessica and we couldn't be happier and more assured with our decision to book again. We've had several sitters over the years as we've moved in different cities and Jessica is by far the most conscientious, caring and considerate sitter we've had. We have a kitty with kidney disease and she went above and beyond in being attentive to her needs and making sure she was as comfortable while we were away. She is highly dependable and a great communicator. Our other pets have come to love and trust her and she treats them like her own. We were away for a few weeks and even seemed like our house was cleaner than when we left it. Thanks, Jessica, for being so amazing - our family truly appreciates it!”

About: I have taken care of different animals since I was 7 years old. I know how to handle pets and take good care of them. I have taken care of two dogs, twelve guinea pigs, one rabbit, and two hamster at the same time. I have worked professionally as a pet sitter and a pet groomer. I treat the animals I care for as family members. I graduated from college a few years ago, and now I work at home full time taking care of pets. At night, the pets will sleep in my room, and I will make the pets feel at home. My house has two levels. There is a large fenced-in backyard for the dogs to play. (4000ft²). I have two dogs, one is a Goldendoodle and one is a German Shepherd. They are both very friendly and love to play with other dogs. They are also very gentle and share things with other animals. Pet care is my priority. It is my full time job. I will focus on each pet's needs and make sure each of them are safe and have enough attention. I treat my customer's pets as my own. I love to spend time with animals and enjoy time with them. They will have a happy time with me!!!
About: I am a responsible, reliable, and caring dog lover with experience handling dogs of different sizes and breeds. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love going on walks, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am punctual, patient, and attentive to each dog's personality and needs. I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and make their walks fun, safe, and enjoyable! I am a freelance artist and writer, so my schedule is very flexible and it is relatively easy for me to find time for pet sitting and walks. I love long walks and a company of a nice doggie (or a kitty), so taking your pet on a stroll or keeping it company at home will be a joy to me. In addition, I am responsible and punctual.

About: I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for animals including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, and I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and temperament. I also have firsthand experience caring for young puppies after my own dog had a litter, which taught me how much attention, patience, and care younger animals can require. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously. I pay close attention to each animals behavior and wellbeing, follow the owners care instructions, and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while their pet is in my care. I’m currently a part-time student, so my schedule varies throughout the week, but I have plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available for house sitting Friday–Sunday and for dog walks and drop-in visits Monday–Thursday. My hours may vary depending on the day, but I’ll always make sure I can accommodate your pet’s needs and routine before accepting a booking. For house sitting, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any care instructions you provide to help them stay comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, playtime and attention, and a clean and safe environment. I’ll also respect your home and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are properly secured. For dog walks, I’ll keep your dog safely leashed and pay close attention to our surroundings throughout the walk. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding their usual route, behavior around other dogs or people, and anything else I should be aware of to keep them safe and comfortable. For drop-in visits, I’ll check on your pet and take care of their needs according to your instructions, including feeding, refreshing their water, potty breaks, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and playtime. I’ll also keep you updated on how your pet is doing so you can have peace of mind while they’re in my care.

“Julianne was amazing! I rarely go out of town because my Aussie is super anxious and very quirky, but I had to leave for work for a few days, and Julianne took SUCH great care of her. When I got back, Piper was so calm, relaxed, and clearly felt safe the entire time. That honestly says everything. Julianne was patient, gentle, and really tuned into what my dog needed, and she communicated clearly while I was away. I could tell she took the time to help her settle in and feel comfortable. It gave me so much peace of mind! 10/10 recommend and will book again!”

I follow the clients list of do's and don't that they leave for me. I always keep in contact with the owner/owners so that they always feel at ease.
“Courtney is an outstanding dog professional, experienced, confident, reliable, honest, on time, and she has the greatest personality. We needed an experienced dog sitter & handler for our dog Chuck to sit for an entire day and evening at our house. Courtney turned out to be the perfect Rover-choice, in full agreement with her great reviews! Chuck is a three year old high energy working line sable German Shepherd police dog. He was born, raised, and trained in Germany. Courtney and Chuck quickly bonded. She quickly learned the few German commands needed for sitting and walking purpose. She also quickly learned about the personality and traits of a dog like Chuck from a write-up summary that we handed over. Courtney kept updating us during her sit, walk, play, and feeding. She also sent us pictures. Chuck clearly fell in love with Courtney. When she left he was whining and he did not want her to leave 😀. Courtney is simply the best of the best!”

“Jacqueline was amazing! Out dog loved her so much! She walked our dog every day and sent me multiple cute pictures with sweet message every single day we were gone. Jacqueline really is a gem! Shes perfect in every way, and we will definitely book her again. Shes simply the best.”

Adela is such a great cat and house sitter! She’s watched our two orange cats now a few times and we always feel so much safer teavelling knowing that they are in safe hands with her ❤️ she sends lots of pictures and updates at meal times like we requested 🥰 and she always treats our home with so much respect ✨ thank you for taking such great care of our boys for us! ❤️🌟

We had such a wonderful experience with Meganjoy’s dog sitting during our wedding! It was such a relief knowing our dog was in caring, reliable hands on such an important and busy day. Having someone we could trust to look after him allowed us to focus on celebrating without worrying. We really appreciated the care, kindness, and attention given to our pups. Thank you for helping make our wedding day that much more special! We would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful dog sitter for a wedding.

Lauriane is great! She took time to meet Chili and I before watching her - it was great to meet her and get to know her style of dog sitting prior to leaving Chili with her. Chili instantly liked her! She's a clear communicator, and sent lots of updates and photos of Chili, which I appreciated. Next time we need a sitter, I will be contacting Lauriane!

Anne seems like part of the family now and our dog Oliver thinks so, too. Anne has been so good with Oliver that he is obviously missing her, checking in the guest room to see if she is there. Anne does a wonderful job caring for our dog and keeping an eye on things at our house. I would recommend Anne without hesitation.

Zakiyyah was awesome with our 4 fur babies. They liked her a lot. Directions for their care were followed to a T. Zakiyyah was able to house sit as a last minute request this was great for our schedule. When asked if she could stay a bit later she did and we were grateful. Zakiyyah you rock and we will definitely recommend you to others and will book again when we visit again. Thank you for messaging and sending pictures as well as updates. Our fur babies will miss you.

I am beyond lucky that I found Annabelle to help with my pup! We just relocated from Seattle and have had a hard time finding someone my dog loves. My dog is a bit reactive on leash and requires oral medication twice daily. Annabelle took on the job and followed instructions beyond my expectations. My pup was so relaxed when I got back from my trip, so I know he was well taken care of and at ease while I was away! I would 100% recommend Annabelle and will be using her regularly.

I have two senior dogs who require special care, and they both have very different needs. Vivian was incredibly attentive, caring, and patient with both of them. She even administered medication to one of my dogs and hand-fed both of them when needed. This was my first time using a dog sitter, so I was definitely nervous and worried about leaving them. Vivian gave me peace of mind and made me feel much more comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciate how caring and attentive she was, and I would definitely recommend Vivian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!

Avery did a great job caring for our animals. They were happy and healthy on our return home and the house looked great. Our pup can present challenges given both the late maturing of her breed and her own quirks, but Avery dealt with them as they came and we appreciate her suggestions on how to help her.

This is long overdue, but Rebecca was an absolute pro in every way, from meeting Chadwick for a few minutes before watching over him and sending pictures. She told me Chad took to her right after we left for a night out, and he was a happy buddy when we got home. Top marks.

Jovi can be quite particular with whom he is comfortable with, so it was a great sign that he did not bark at Polli at our meet and greet. When she arrived for sitting, he was just fine with her in the apartment and didn't try to bark at her to leave. It is always nice to feel your dog is comfortable when leaving! I was gone for a week and when I got home Jovi was clearly well cared for. Polli did a great job getting new pony tails for him so he could see, the house was clean, and Jovi was in good spirits!

This was my first time using Rover. I was very concerned as my older dog had some health issues arise right before I left. Alvin was amazing. He was constantly advising me about my dogs and any change of normal behavior. He was able to take care of the meds she needed and all was good. I was also surprised my dogs went for walks with him, as I was certain they would not go with someone else. He truly cared that my dogs were healthy including mentally making sure they had activity. He stayed at my house and left it the same condition I left it. I would highly recommended using Alvin and plan to use him again on my next trip. He also took care of watering my plants while I was gone.

Kelsey last-minute covered for us for a week when our sitter fell through. She came to meet us at a momemt's notice and our dog immediately took to her. Sje also happens to be a wonderfully kind person. She was so responsive and responsible with our dog and our home. So much so that we asked her to come back for another week! Don't hesitate to book with Kelsey- she's worth it and I promise you won't be disappointed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Monterey Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Monterey Park is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $94 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 15,159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Monterey Park. 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 Monterey Park 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 Monterey Park 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 Monterey Park 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monterey Park. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
