“Haijin and Victor are AMAZING to work with. I’m always at ease when they walk and care for Tofu. For being an anxious pup, he’s been so comfortable with them from the start. I love that they are always on top of communication and you can tell they have a lot of experience working with dogs. I’m very grateful for them!”

About: JJ and I have taken care of dogs since we were teenagers and have always had dogs in our lives. We would get request from our neighbors and friends to take care of their dogs when they traveled. We walk, feed, and play with your fur babies. They will be in good hands with us and we have a nice-sized grassy fenced front for them to run freely. I am always home thorough out the week because of my flexibility I can accommodate potty breaks + play time + meals whatever they needs are. We send pictures to keep you posted on your furry friend upon request! We have a fully fenced front yard for potty breaks and play time. We have a 40 lb husky (female, spayed) who is very vocal and playful with all dogs. We also have a neighbor who has a 30 lb mix (do not know the breed because it was a rescue) who plays with Alpha (our husky) all the time. We will follow instructions provided by the owner.

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs my entire life, so managing routines, leash safety, and different temperaments is second nature to me. I currently own a sweet Bichon Frise, and I’ve previously managed a multi-dog household with a Chihuahua, Pomeranian, and Yorkie all at once—so I'm completely comfortable handling distinct personalities and leash dynamics! As a regular at local parks while playing pickleball, other dog owners frequently trust me to step in, walk, and care for their pets. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, routine feeding, or just extra affection, I treat every dog with the same care and attention as my own. You can always expect prompt communication, timely updates, and plenty of photo check-ins during every visit! As a lifelong dog owner, taking dogs out for active, engaging walks is a natural part of my daily life. My schedule is wide open during the afternoons and nights for neighborhood and park walks. I offer quick communication and steady availability so your pup stays active and happy every afternoon and evening. Safety and proper handling on walks are my absolute top priorities. Growing up around dogs, I know how to keep pets calm, secure, and attentive on the leash. I strictly follow your walking routes, double-check harnesses and collar fits, and send detailed photo updates so you always know your pup had a safe, fun walk!

About: I've worked with all types of dogs from helping to train them for obedience to being a K9 Decoy for bite work. I don't mind walking any sized dog or any age for that matter. I also have experience and knowledge on what to look for when it comes to K9 health specially during the summertime and this heat. I work from home for the most part and my schedule does vary week to week but with proper communication and timing I can take the doggos out for a walk without any issues. My retired bomb dog and my active four paw work partner are both crated but their doors are open and have their beds in them. They have a room with AC and are never alone at home. They have individual water buckets and food trays. They go on daily walks with me when the weather is nice and cool to prevent overheating during summer times. Plenty or moving all day and lots of play time with me and each other on the weekends. They also enjoy their training time with some of the K9 Clubs I attend.

About: Your dog’s home-away-from-home—where they feel safe and loved. I offer small-scale boarding (not a kennel). This is a great option for pet parents seeking a safer alternative to kennels. Training-informed, positive-reinforcement environment. Deep experience with rescue, reactive, separation anxiety and other special-needs dogs who require a calm home environment. Home atmosphere + constant human presence. My home is quiet with a front yard that feels like you're in a small forest. Good vibes all around. I'm truly an all-around dog lover, and I and have a passion for saving, fostering, and boarding if it means a happier life for a dog and his/her human. I've had a passion for caring for dogs since I was a teenager. I've rescued several dogs from a high-kill shelter and fostered them until we found a forever home. I currently work closely with a couple of dog rescues that help find fosters or adopters for high-energy dogs in overcrowded shelters, once they've gone through an evaluation stage and the necessary training. I have dog training knowledge, and I'm also trained in dog psychology. My goal is to work with service dogs and get them ready for their new human. I have experience working with extra large breeds as well as the cute, tiny ones. I also have experience with special need dogs who require medication, If you have a special needs dog, I have experience in: Oral medication administration Injected medication administration Senior dog experience Special needs dog experience I currently work part time from my home office and tend to my plants which allows me plenty of time to devote to your furry family member. I enjoy time at home, painting, reading, cooking, gardening, playing my congas or simply relaxing in front of the television.  I enjoy caring for pets as if they were my own, which means getting to know their personalities and what they like to do for fun. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. A possible daily routine: A morning walk or let them roam the yard (depends on the owners choice), followed by breakfast and some loving. Afternoon time consists of potty breaks and some play time in the yard or indoors and some afternoon treats for everyone before they nap. I have plenty of room for your pet to run around or just lounge. I don't have any pets (as I have been fostering) or children, and there's very little to nothing that your pet could get into. My house is secured and all the windowns and doors will remain secured while your pet is visiting. My yard has a five and a half foot fence and it's secured all the way around. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. If I'm pet sitting at your location, I will follow the list of do's and don't and will always treat your home with respect.

About: I just love spending time with cats and dogs. I am an active volunteer at a animal shelter. I participated in programs like dog socialization, public training classes and clicker training. I am also a team member of the cat adoption program which tasks include husbandry, socialization, adoption counseling and so on. And I do all of this for fun. Enjoying it 100%. Looking forward to have the chance to meet your furry friends!! Bilingual: English, 普通话 I have a flexible working schedule which can easily accommodate your need. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visit up to 3 times a day as long as I get a request in advance. Safety is the first priority for both of us. I always ask the parents for what is allowed and what is not. For dogs, I give them all my attention during walks (consistently of poop/pee, trash eating, etc.,). And after walks, I always wipe their paws and check for any signs of abnormalities. For cat drop-in visits, I perform husbandry including litter box cleaning and refilling, feeding and socializing if needed. Customization is welcomed. Communication is very important and trust can be built. Let’s make this a great experience.

About: ✅ Same-day photo updates ✅ Flexible schedule ✅ Comfortable with dogs & cats ✅ Small & medium dogs welcome I’ve been a pet parent to both dogs and cats for many years, and caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life. My pets weren’t just animals—they were family. Saying goodbye to them was one of the hardest experiences I’ve ever had, which is why I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I gave my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions carefully to help them feel at home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting on weekdays and weekends. I always do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment, and I always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you’ll always know how your pet is doing.

About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, with care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have always loved caring for them. My family has had many rescue pups over the years, giving me experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from Shih Tzus to German Shepherds and Rottweilers. I’ve also become the go-to person for family, friends, and neighbors when they need someone they trust to care for their dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s routine while their owners are away. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog and creating a positive experience that makes them feel cared for. I work part-time remotely from home in the mornings, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, making pet care a natural part of my routine. My availability allows me to be present and dependable while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll provide a calm and caring environment while following your instructions, routines, and any special needs. Pets will never be left unattended and will always have access to fresh water. I’ll also share regular updates and photos so you can stay connected and feel confident knowing your furry family member is being cared for while you’re away.

Alexis is absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t be happier with her. She’s always on time, communicates beautifully, and genuinely cares about Oliver. He’s a big dog and can be a handful, but he absolutely adores her, which says a lot! She’s reliable, professional, thoughtful, and makes the whole experience stress-free. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in North El Monte is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 22,025 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across North El Monte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your North El Monte. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in North El Monte after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in North El Monte. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
