“Michelle and Jennifer are very professional and detail oriented. They did a great job of keeping my babies fed and on their medication schedule. They also sent photos and videos, providing an update for each visit. They’re punctual and dependable, everything you want when you can’t be home with your fur babies! I will reach out to them again 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: My family has had dogs since before I was even born; my family has a particular affinity for medium and large shelter dogs (and one dog that literally walked into our yard and hasn't left). I've been raised to love animals and I've become the type of person that waves at a dog and says, "Hello!" to every dog I drive or walk past. I have a rotation of stray cats that I feed in my yard and it's not uncommon for me to hang out with them while they eat and drink. I also willinging admit to that I've sat outside for significant amounts of time trying to entice new cat friends with squeezy treats. Growing up in an animal-loving environment, I also have experince with dogs and cats of all ages. I've been with several dogs to the end of their time here, and although not as many, a few cats too. I've walked, fed, watered, played with, and pet my dogs almost every day of life. My singular, explicit brag is that I can walk my two 70lbs+ dogs on leash without being dragged around. I've lived with inside cats for over a decade and have fed, watered, cleaned up after, and (stressfully) wrangled them on escape attempts. I'm also a proud, regular cat-sitter to two black cat siblings that would never try to escape, but would definitely sneak a double portion of dinner if I didn't watch them. I'm currently searching for a full-time job and am a partial caretaker for my dad, who increasingly more independent. That being said, my schedule is very flexible! I focus on basic pet needs and health first: food, water, relieving themselves, making sure everyone is safe. Once I know the basics are taken care of, I move on to any specific instructions from clients: training, treats, tasks, etc. And after all those are done, then (if allowed) it's hang out time! Playing, petting, and chilling out are my go to's.

About: Caring for dogs is second nature to me—I treat every pup like one of my own. Whether your dog needs daily medication, special injections, or just some extra patience and love, I’ve got it covered. I’m experienced with training puppies, understanding their needs, and keeping things calm and structured to help them thrive. I know every dog is different, so I adapt to their routine, quirks, and comfort level. You can expect thoughtful updates, lots of love, and a safe, cozy home where your pup will be treated like family. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing a little extra care, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I have two dogs of my own, so our routine is already built around walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Someone is always home, so your pup will never be left alone and will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, making it easy for you to plan trips or getaways knowing your dog has a safe, loving place to stay anytime. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a secure balcony and plenty of nearby walking paths in a quiet residential area. For boarding, your pup will enjoy a cozy indoor space, regular potty breaks, and daily walks tailored to their energy level. Walks are calm, safe, and full of sniffing adventures!

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 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.

About: Hi there! My name is Michele, and I understand how important it is to find reliable caretakers you can trust. I approach dogs with care and kindness, and I pay attention. I prioritize following your instructions and making sure your dog is comfortable and safe with me. I have a deep history as a dog owner. My mom had a knack for picking up strays and taking in fosters, so I have been providing dog care my whole life. I was 9 years old when I first helped raise a litter of bottle babies, and dogs of all sizes and breeds were my brothers and sisters as I grew up. I have had the good fortune of having two soul dogs in my lifetime, one of whom recently passed away from lymphoma and its complications. During our two-year cancer battle, I learned a lot about canine nutrition, care for elderly and disabled dogs, and at-home medication processes including oxygen administration. Dogs are some of our best family members. I love all dogs, and I would love to meet yours! I have a flexible schedule each week. I have a preference for walks in the mornings and afternoons, avoiding the hottest temperatures, but can accommodate a wide range of times. For boarding and overnights, I prioritize listening to your instructions in regards to your dog's preferences, habits, and level of training. If your dog will be comfortable having the run of the house, I am comfortable with allowing them to explore my home as they board with me; alternately, if your dog does better in more contained environments, we can set up your crate, pen, etc or limit their range to one area of the house. We have a small, maintained side yard that dogs are welcome in, but no back yard. When entering a client's home, I will behave with the utmost respect, and only enter areas of the home necessary for instructed dog care. For overnight stays at clients' homes, I reserve the discretion to limit my hours depending on any safety concerns, but will not change plans without good faith attempts at communicating with you to find solutions that work for us both.

About: I’ve had many animals growing up, including dogs, a guinea pig, hamsters, parakeets, tortoises, and fish. I’ve also pet-sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m used to caring for all different types of animals, including puppies and senior dogs, and I love all different animals! I’m a student but my schedule is very flexible so I’m not gone for long. I’m used to caring for animals throughout the day, and I’m always able to work around my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I have a front yard for your pet to play on, as well as many toys they can choose from. My yard is fenced, so we won’t have to worry about them escaping. There is a pool surrounded by a fence so no one will fall in, but your pet is welcome to swim if they like! I can accommodate your preferences such as if you need your pet in a crate. I have two dogs of my own to keep them company as well, and they love meeting new people!

“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!”

Grace is such a sweet and amazing sitter! She has communicated with me so kindly throughout the entire stay, sends regular photo updates, and follows instructions to a T—and I gave her a lot of instructions! Gemma can be very shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but Grace has been incredibly patient and has worked completely at her pace to make sure she feels safe and comfortable. I can see how much effort Grace is putting into earning her trust, and it’s been so sweet to see Gemma start to open up to her. She’s even managed to put a smile on my shy girl’s face by entertaining her with toys! 🥹❤️ I’m so grateful for Grace and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and trustworthy sitter.

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!

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.

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Monterey Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Monterey Park on Rover is $27.75 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 21,314 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Monterey Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Monterey Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 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.
