About: I used to live with my siblings and their dogs for 5 years. I have taken care of my sister’s dog very often now that we no longer live together, sometimes a whole month at a time. I have experience in assisting with daily walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and providing companionship. Through this experience, I learned how to recognize a dog’s routine, provide a safe and comfortable environment, and respond patiently to their individual needs. I am very comfortable being around dogs and I will treat every dog as if they’re my own. I am very excited to provide a loving and reliable care for your dogs while you’re away. I’m currently at home full time, so I have all the time in the world to care for your dogs and play with them. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean two-story home where dogs have plenty of room to relax and spend time with me. I will closely supervise pets while they are in my care and make sure they always have fresh water, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention. I do have a pool, but I don’t go to the back at all and the doors access to the pool are always closed. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I will do my best to follow your instructions. I will also provide regular photo and video updates so you can have the peace of mind.
“Ana and Mitchell and their dog Ellie were wonderful sitters for our 5 month old Labradoodle puppy. I am very glad to have found them. Their fenced in backyard and house are set up for entertaining new dogs with comfort and safety. They were able to get our puppy to eat his meals even though he's teething and sometimes unmotivated. He loved playing with Ellie and he was so relaxed after I picked him up because he had a great night with Ana & Mitchell.”
“Ms. Shu Ting did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Sunshine. It was a joy to see a lot of pictures of my little one. I appreciated all her wonderful effort and time to take those pictures. I would definitely request for her service again in the nearby future. In addition, I also recommend this sitter for those you need the service. You won’t be disappointed because Ms. Shu Ting will do an exceptional job to care for your pet.”
“Philip was great! Super responsive and very friendly! We were updated as we wanted and Everest had a great time! We were cautious at first as this was our first time using this app and it worked out really well! Everest made some new friends and was super comfortable right off the bat! His whole family was very welcoming and made our pup feel right at home! Thanks again Philip! We’ll stay in touch!”
“Jianle was great. He sent us photos of our dogs throughout the trip. When we needed to extend our travel, he was accommodating and responsive throughout all of it. Highly recommend!”
“Gentle and tender with animal, follow instructions well and my cat likes to be with him and his apartment. to the point and simple communication esp when you make you request clear! I will come back with Martin when I need a stay for precious. Thank you Martin!”
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.
“I was searching all over for the best pet care provider I could find and I found Ali on Rover! She was amazing! She took pictures every day and sent me updates every day. My little Cece was so happy over there that when she came home, I think she already missed her! I would absolutely use Ali again. I highly recommend her for her professional attitude and her loving heart. She took the best care of my little baby that anyone ever could have! Thank you, Ali!!!!!!🐾💖🐾”
“it was such a huge relief to know our pup was in great hands. great communication. flexible with pick up/drop off times. genuine dog lovers. we'll definitely reach out again the next time we go out of town. highly recommend.”
“Jessica was easy to work and communicate with. Our pup Rudy had a great time by the looks of all the photo updates we got! Very trustworthy and we would definitely use again!”
About: Pets have been a part of our family for 20 plus years. Each one has been a crucial part of our lives, teaching us how to care for one another with grace and admiration. We have raised pets from puppies and kittens all way to seniors. From walking great danes to feeding little cats, our family can care for loved ones no matter what special attention they may need. Our fenced in yard has plenty of space for playful puppies while our home is located near a beautiful bike path for lovely evening walks. Your pet will receive all the attention and support they need so you can rest assured they are safe and cared for. I am currently a stay at home dad with plenty of time to care for and play with pets. Once the kids are off to school our day will be filled with unforgettable fun and excitement here in beautiful Whittier California. Whether your dog prefers inside or outside, our home is a perfect fit. Our fenced in backyard has plenty of space for running and play. After some exercise your pet can relax on our extra large dog bed or even take their spot on our couch. If your pet just needs an afternoon walk, I have everyday experience walking dogs of all sizes. Safety and awareness are my top priorities while taking your dog on a stroll.
“Kathryn will be my go-to sitter whenever I'm in town! Her sweet and calm temperament is exactly what Reese (skittish and shy) needed for a time away from us. Her family is also sweet and supportive. She has a nice backyard with green grass and squirrels for the pups to get lots of activities in. She's also very communicative which is so appreciated. I will definitely be returning to her every time we are out in SoCal.”
“Great with my dog Austin, felt like I left him with family the way I got daily updates and occasional photos. I’m glad I found a home away from home for my soul dog”
“Jane was amazing with our chihuahua, Keilani. She sent us daily photos and videos, gave Keilani baths, and took her on walks at the park. Most importantly, she treated Keilani like she was her own. Keilani doesn’t take to many people easily, but we could tell right away that she felt loved and comfortable with Jane and her husband. She was clearly very well cared for. Keilani was also in heat during her stay, and Jane handled it with no hesitation and knew exactly how to take care of her. We highly recommend Jane and will definitely request for her again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South El Monte
Eric deserves EVERY single glowing review possible! This was the first time I've used Rover and Eric has made the process so seamless, easy, and reliable. On short notice, I needed somebody to board my small dog for a week. Originally, I had tried to book with someone else, but that sitter backed out almost last minute because my small dog isn't immediately friendly with other dogs. Eric, however, was extremely understanding of my predicament, and he listened when i told him him that my dog needs time to adjust to new company – she is not aggressive or angry, she is just timid, shy, and reclusive. Eric understood and assured me of his many years of experience with dogs. I got to meet him beforehand with my dog. His house is very lovely, clean, and polished, and perfectly set up to accommodate anybody's pup. It was not a stressful or triggering environment for dogs, and there was plenty of yard and space to explore. He was kind, professional, and showed me what my dog's boarding situation would look like, which I really appreciated. I was unsure if he would accept the booking request on such late notice, especially because my dog needed a little bit of time to trust him and her temporary new environment, but he assured me that everything would be fine. While I was away, he sent me pictures and videos of her in her new environment, which was very reassuring for me. My dog was so relaxed and calm in his house that she even made a friend! She was now dog-friends with Eric's dog, which was doubly reassuring and comforting for me to know that she had doggy company and companionship. When I came back to pick her up, she was just as happy and healthy as when I dropped her off. I cannot thank Eric enough, he has been so kind and professional and accommodating and I will definitely be booking again with him in the future and recommending him to everyone I know who needs a sitter for their pup. THANK YOU ERIC!
Madalyn was an amazing dog sitter and we were thrilled with how well our little Yorkie was taken care of. It was our very first time booking a sitter for an international trip and Madalyn sent us regular message updates with cute pictures. The updates really gave us the peace of mind and allowed us not worry about her while we're gone. Also, she's so sweet and you can tell she loves dogs. It's such a plus that she only takes 1 dog at a time so your baby will be very well cared for. We would highly recommend her for anyone worried about leaving a senior dog or whose dog just needs a little extra care. Thank you Madalyn for all your help :)
Nicholas took good care of Charlie and sent me videos daily of Charlie playing with the other dogs that he was sitting. I really appreciated seeing Charlie virtually everyday and knowing that he is safe and happy. He has a playroom for the dogs and a small fenced backyard for the dogs to play as well. I unhesitatingly recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for a great dog sitter on Rover. Thanks Nicholas, and I think Charlie misses you too!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in South El Monte can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South El Monte home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your South El Monte.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your South El Monte sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
