About: I love spending time caring for animals. I have grown up taking in stray cats and dogs. Animals gravitate towards me and I them. They're my favorite I do work full time. But I will make myself available over weekends. I may also work on weekdays as my schedule allows for it. I am not able to pet sit in my home. But I will take diligent notes to ensure your pet is happy and safe while you're out.
“I have had 5 cats of all different personalities. Andrea has watched 3 of my babies. Taz was vocal and kept her up all night, Cleo is an adventurer and Figaro is a calm shy loving boy. Andrea always sends pictures and makes them feel comfortable. I’m thankful that we have found such a wonderful and friendly cat sitter.”
“I feel so lucky to have found her! She is incredibly caring and thoughtful, always follows the house rules and instructions, and even stays a little longer to make sure Rudy is taken care of. I really appreciate how much love and attention she gives him. I’ll definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Paula is amazing! She is kind, responsible, and great at communicating. Paula is great with cats! She was able to bring my cat out of his shell on the first day of meeting him (and my cat is extremely shy). I was also updated with pictures, which I greatly appreciated. If you are looking for a caretaker for your fur child Paula is your girl!”

“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.”
“Sydney has cared for my cat Dondo twice now. Her reports are thorough and they always put us at ease that our big guy is taken care of with all the photos she sends. thank you Sydney!”

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.
“Alex took great care of my young cat while I was away! She did drop in visits a couple times a day for about 5 days! You can tell Alex takes pride in her work, she let my cat build a relationship on his terms and had earned his trust and played toward the end of the visits! This was my first time using Rover but Alex made me feel so at ease leaving my cat alone! I can’t thank her enough for her terrific care while I was on vacation!”
“Our senior cat feels very comfortable in Valerie’s care. She’s a wonderful cat sitter! Our cat needs medication and can be a bit difficult about taking it, but Valerie was able to give it to her without any issues. We felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Valerie again!”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in South El Monte on Rover is $10.7 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
