“So happy that Kristine looked after my 2 cats! She was very generous with her time and attention, and sent lots of great pictures. I could tell they really liked her. I also had an unexpected package that needed refrigeration, and she was so kind to offer to unpack and store it for me. Definitely choosing her for any future pet sitting!”

“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!”

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.

About: I have a Maltipoo named Luna who I care for every day, including feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and keeping up with her routine. I also help care for my cousin’s dog, Frankie, a 20-pound Yorkie/Husky mix. Caring for dogs with different personalities has taught me to be patient, attentive, and flexible with each pet’s individual needs. I treat every dog like I would my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the week. I already care for my own Maltipoo, Luna, so pet care is part of my daily routine. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal schedule whenever possible. I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I’ll make sure your dog is supervised and comfortable. I’m also mindful of each dog’s personality, triggers, and comfort level around other dogs and people.

About: I have taken care of dogs, my whole life, from puppies to seniors, only had one cat, and now have a pet bunny, sweet boy who is about five years old, so I’m very experienced with rabbits. As mentioned, I’m a full-time bun mom, and currently working in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The rest of the week is pretty flexible. my rabbit is a free roam pet, so he has access to the room living room, and wherever he feels comfortable. If needed, he can be contained in my bedroom meanwhile a dog or cat can be welcomed in my living room.

About: Hi! My name is Carol and dogs have been a part of my family my whole life - big and small. My personal experience with dogs consists of both being a pawrent and occasionally watching after my friends' dogs. I started hosting dogs on Rover in 2020. Currently, I have 2 dogs - a black lab and a senior terrier. I've got both a front and backyard which is plenty big for your dog to run around in and use the bathroom every couple of hours. You can trust that your dog will be fully attended to and comfortable as I only board up to 2-3 dogs at a time. You can count on receiving plenty of "pupdates" throughout their stay with me! I unfortunately cannot take puppies less than 1 years old or very high energy dogs as my own dogs do not do well with them. I work from home all week so you can trust that I will never be too far from your pup. On weekdays before/after work and on the weekends, I typically take the dogs out to the yard twice a day for play time. I welcome as much care instruction you want to provide me with for your dog's stay to ensure they are the most comfortable during their time with me! Play time and potty breaks are easily accessible in my fenced backyard.

About: Lived in a multi-dog household for over 15 years providing care to pups of all ages (newborn puppies to seniors). Experienced in puppy care, senior care, medication administration, and rescue pups needing a little extra attention as they're getting adjusted to their new furrever homes. Although I don't personally provide training, I've had experience in going through training for our own pups and can support in maintaining the training that you have already in place. Guests are provided with care full-time. I'm available throughout the week and are generally flexible with pick up and drop off times. Though there may be some slight adjustments to the our daily routine, a general idea of our schedule for boarding consists of.. 6:30am potty break and playtime 7am breakfast and continued playtime 8:30am lounge/nap time Potty breaks every 3-4 hours 12:00pm -2:00pm Afternoon playtime some time during this time frame if the weather permits 5:30pm-7:00pm dinner around this time frame Evening play until 7:30pm-8pm 11:00pm for a final potty break We live in a fenced home that is double gated with a large spacious backyard. Guests are only allowed outside when there is human supervision. Guests are welcome to wrestle and play chase; however, if we do see there is an escalation in energy levels then we do a quick reset and separate guests for several minutes before returning to a lower energy of play behavior.

“When my husband and I had to go back to the office once a week I was worried how my new puppy and senior dog would do being alone in the house all day. I am so grateful we found Sona on Rover. She comes by the house while we’re gone to feed and play with the pups and give them a much needed potty brake. At first I was concerned that all of my requests would make me sound like an overbearing pet parent but Sona assured us that she was happy to do whatever made us comfortable while we were away. She follows every request to a tee and I can feel confident and secure knowing my dogs are happy and comfortable when we’re not home!”

About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.

About: Hi there, I am a full time stay at home mama of two. I have a beautiful german shepherd mix that is so good with other dogs. She was my first baby. I have enough space for your dog to run and be safe. If you have a cat your cat can be safe in the house. I have been caring for dogs for twelve years. I was raised on what I call a farm. We had ducks, dogs, cats, fish and even a goat at one point. When boarding your pet at my house you can count on walks, attention, and pictures sent to you. I truly love animals and care for them as if they are my own. You can rest assure your furry baby will be in good hands. Every morning I take my little ones on a walk. My babies and furry baby. We get back from the walk and enjoy some outside time. We love the outdoors. So your pup will have company and plenty of outdoor time. Safety is my number one priority. I make sure your pet is comfortable and feels welcome. I will give your pup the time and attention.

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.

Zihui is the best! Daily sitter for my 3 cats! I traveled out of the country for 7 days and I was so comfortable and at ease with Zihui coming over to my residence for daily drop ins. Zihui sent daily photos of my 3 cats; Her updates were very detailed with feeding schedules for each one and behavior patterns for each one. Zihui has a big heart for pets! She is very caring and within a short time she fell in love with my cats. My cats became comfortable with her. It brought joy to me knowing that my 3 babies (cats) were well taken care of. I will 100% recommend her to my family and friends . I will be booking her for future drop ins. Thank you Zihui

Grace is super sweet, I needed her to help drop-in twice a week while I was out of town. She made sure to keep me updated with pictures of my pup. I received a text whenever she'd arrive, and when she was done. The pup reports reassures me that someone is making sure my pup is doing okay. I would highly recommend Grace

I’m so grateful I found Lauriane to help with my pup! I was taking a really stressful exam for 3 days and not once did I feel worried leaving her to care for him. My dog is not only very high energy and chaotic, but he takes medication and refuses to take his meds without a very “special” routine. Lauriane had no problem taking on the task. She sent so many cute photos and videos of him too. I would highly recommend her and I will certainly book her again in the future!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Monterey Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Monterey Park is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $37 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 21,275 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Monterey Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monterey Park. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
