“We traveled out of state for a wedding and Vanessa took wonderful care of our elderly blind dog. She was very detail oriented about our dog's care routine and medicine needs. The constant photo updates made us feel at peace and allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing that Ellie was in great hands. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Hayley was amazing! So communicative and thorough in the details, and even had some helpful insight for some health stuff with our dog that we weren’t aware of! We’re very much looking forward to having her watch Willow again. ?”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I’ve had several pets over the years and I love all animals! I enjoy playing, cuddling, and hanging out with animals. I’m kind, respectful, attentive. I have experience with care for senior cats and dogs. Hello there! I am Vanessa. I’m an animal lover and friend 💖 I’m flexible morning, afternoons, evenings, nights and weekends. I’m open to check ins, walks, house sitting or just spending some quality time with your furry ones and their routines. I know how it feels to put your trust in another person when it comes to care with your fur babies. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I make sure to follow the instructions and house rules and routines. I am attentive, respectful, loving, and playful. I make sure to check in, give them the quality time, and exercise needed. I care deeply about their safety and want to ensure they are comfortable as can be. I have experience taking care of elderly pets and furry ones.
“Always love coming home to happy animals! House was as we left it, which is very important to us! Animals had water in their bowls, and were overjoyed to see mom and dad. Sonia sent pics and stayed in contact just the right amount. Thank you!”
“First time we used Emily. She took care of our German Shepherd and Cat. Both were well taken care of, communication was great and Emily was very patient getting instructions and updates from us. We will hire her again.”
“Monica was great. She was not only attentive to our pup’s needs, but Monica genuinely enjoyed her time with her. She sent pictures or texts to me daily which put my mind at ease. And on top of that, she left my house in tip top shape, sparkling clean! I would highly recommend Monica as a sitter for your pet.”
About: I have had many dogs growing up and I have been able to connect with them one way or another. My parents would travel a lot growing up so I would be responsible for taking care of them and my cats, and I love doing it! I love waking up next to a fluffy puppy and getting some cuddles in. I also love to take a stroll around the neighborhood with them! I also have training with puppies. I have learned how to do various things like potty and crate training for example. I'd be more than happy to make sure your pups receive the care that they deserve. I am currently working on online school, which means I am able to work and look out for your kitties whenever and wherever you need! In your home, I follow all the rules that you give me, whether thats for your pet or your house. This can include rules such as making sure they don't go into certain rooms/areas in your home, handling them the way you would like me to, and not feeding them what they are not allowed to be fed. As the pet sitter, I also will not go into the rooms/areas you do not want me to enter and I will follow any other house rules you would like me to. I do not mind security and nanny cams. I am also more than happy to send you updates and photos of your kitties.
About: 2 years of experience but I’ve had my own furbabies since I was 4. Now, I help out friends with theirs! I’m experienced in managing schedules for food and walks. I also am experienced in walking both small and bigger dogs. I have helped take care of a puppy as well which I know requires 100% attention. I absolutely love and adore animals and treat them as my own family. I don’t have a fixed work schedule so pet care can easily fit into my schedule. I just set time aside for school which is online! I respect the pet owners rules, schedule, and environment. Dogs are forever babies and require love and attention so i’m of course in the same spaces as them. Every pet owner is different and I will absolutely adjust accordingly.
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.
“Justin provided an excellent service! He connected with my dog Cometa and ensure he was exercised, fed, safe, and well cared! Cometa was relaxed and happy! I found him calm and secured at my arrival! I will continue having Justin taking care of my dog as many times as my dog needs service! Justin is dependable, responsible, nurturing and committed to provide de best service possible. I’m very grateful and happy with his service. Gracias, gracias, gracias….”
“I just want to give a big fat THANK YOU to Rudy for watching over Annie while I was in crutches and also for caring for her post-surgery. Rudy is incredibly sweet and attentive to our baby. She wags her tail in glee whenever Rudy comes around. Really so glad we found someone we totally trust with our pup. Will definitely book with him again!”
“Zoey went above and beyond taking care of my dog, Peppa, giving her extra care and comfort during our city’s fireworks show. Right off the bat when we first met Zoey we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm, friendly, and trustworthy and was great with our Peppa.”
About: With over 30 years of personal experience caring for my own cats and a history of looking after friends' dogs while they travel, I know exactly how much love, attention, and peace of mind your pets need when you can't be there.Whether it's maintaining your cat's specific daily routine or ensuring your pup gets their necessary exercise and companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can count on me to provide safe, reliable, and deeply affectionate care. I am a recent retiree and home full-time, which makes me an ideal sitter for kittens and cats, or a walker for puppies, seniors, or dogs needing extra attention. Caring for pets requires maintaining their routines and ensuring a safe environment, whether I am walking them or performing home visits. I tailor my approach around strict safety and clear communication.I send photo updates and message logs to give you peace of mind while you are away.
“We highly recommend Nataly for all your dog sitting needs! She is amazing with our pup Charlie and is great at sending updates every few hours. She truly does a great job with our baby. Thank you Nataly!!”
About: I’ve had all sorts of cats and dogs since childhood, from kittens and puppies to senior animals, administering medication and providing necessary attention and care. I currently have a wide open schedule, so whenever your pet needs care, attention, or just someone to walk them around the block, I can be there. I would communicate frequently with the owner before and during my stay or the pet’s stay with me on their needs and routine to see that they have the best experience.
“Alex was wonderful! She took care of our senior dog for three nights while house sitting. Our older dog has multiple health issues and of course the week of a trip we had planned our dog had a neck strain and required a little more extra care and multiple medications. We were very nervous to leave her, at one point had thought about canceling our trip, but Alex reassured us when we were a bit nervous that she would be OK. You can tell she has a lot of experience and she even knew a lot of the medications our dog was on. We knew we were leaving her in good hands and it showed when our dog seemed to be doing better when we got home! If we were to ever need another house/pet sitter again we would not hesitate to use Alex. Thank you very much for taking care of our pup!”
“Mina was happy and healthy when I came home. Viky always gives me peace of mind through clear communication, sending pictures and texts. The house was also quite fine. 10/10. Will absolutely book again.”
“Delia was awesome…I would leave Oggie, my poodle with her anytime. She stayed at my house and it was wonderful to leave him in his own surroundings. She walked him and took great pics for us.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in North El Monte is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North El Monte
Jacqueline was truly the best pet sitter anyone could ever ask for! She was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and attentive throughout the entire experience, always keeping me updated and making sure I knew how my fur babies were doing. While I was away on my business trip, she went above and beyond by sending me lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my cats and made sure they felt loved, comfortable, and well taken care of while I was away.
Rebecca stayed in my apartment overnight to care for my dog while I was working. She was very communicative. Made sure expectations from me were clear and asked a lot of clarifying questions. She send many pictures of my dog throughout her time with her and followed my instructions to the letter. She is very kind and clearly loves animals. 10/10 would absolutely book again!
Emily was just fantastic. She came in on short notice and cared for a cat that needed medicines, and a dog that needed lots of exercise. She was an excellent communicator and offered to stay to give instructions to the next house sitters coming in. I would ask her to come back in a heartbeat. I am very appreciative of her extra effort. Thank you Emily!
Shelby obviously has a ton of experience taking great care of both cats and dogs. She made herself available within 3 days notice and was very knowledgeable, kind and caring. She even sent me photos of my fur babies during the day. I highly recommend Shelby for dog walks and pet sitting. I will definitely tap on her again.
I highly recommend Chris. She came in fur the meet and greet and sat right on the floor. Bob is the most shy of the 3, but he came out to see what was going on. During the stay Bob needed meds and she more than willing to try anything. She couldn't pick him up, cause they just met so it to be crushed and hidden in his food. When I returned I couldn't even tell she had been here. Fabulous!
another wonderful housesit with Celest! we needed someone to housesit for us on the afternoon and evening of our wedding reception and thankfully, Celest was able to! she was on time, responsive, and forth coming in all her communications with us and sent photos throughout the night. she has such great calm energy that Nebula really responds to. we returned home to a very happy dog and tidy house. we appreciate you, Celest! thanks again!
Was our first time using Chloe and she stayed 4 days with our fur baby! We were so happy with her and she spoiled him with daily walks, cuddles and playtime! She sent pictures of him and he always looked so happy with her. She went beyond what we asked and came home to a happy boy and a clean house. ( which wasn’t expected)
Rene was incredible. Easily one of the best rover experiences I have ever had! Was beyond reliable, followed all the instructions to a T, even at one point had my screen door malfunction and fixed it. Rene updated with tons of photos and you could tell my girls felt right at home! Even went the extra mile and cleaned up great! Would gladly choose Rene again in a heartbeat!
Cristian went over and above our expectations. Kept us up to date sent photos and just provided complete reassurance we didn't need to stress over our dogs and home while on vacation. Highly recommend and our best experience to date using Rover. 5 stars plus!!!

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 North El Monte 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 North El Monte 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 North El Monte 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
