“Smokey stayed with Madalyn once again and we can’t say enough good things about his stays. She keeps us updated and always remembers his preferences and likes! He is always excited to see her when I drop him off.”
“Haijin is wonderful! My family and I feel lucky to have found a sitter we can trust to take care of our big fluffy puppy when we leave town. We also appreciate the socialization with other animals our puppy gets when she’s with Haijin.”
“This was my 1st experience boarding my dog. Kathryn took wonderful care of my dog Mia. She sent me pictures and messages almost daily. I would give her 10 stars if I could. I will use her services in the future. Thank again Kathryn!!”
“Matthew was super accommodating especially since it was last minute. I appreciate the meet and greet. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with Matthew and he sent pics and updates. I will definitely book again with Matthew if I need a sitter.”
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 currently work part time and will be home by 2:30 PM Monday to Friday, so after that I have all the time in the world to care and play with your pup. 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.
“I needed a place for my buddy to stay in a hurry and was so glad I found Jessica. She was so helpful, and after our initial meeting, EZ felt comfortable and began running around the backyard. She was very conscious of the other dogs dynamics with meeting a new dog. She gave them time to get familiar with each other before deciding it was ok for him to stay. EZ thoroughly enjoyed himself and loved the daily updates and pictures. Would recommend and use again. Thanks Jessica for caring for my dog with love.”
“Titus had so much fun with this family! They took great care of my son. He was a little sad when he came home. I guess he had too much fun and didn’t want to come home! Will definitely have them babysit in the future!”
“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.”
“Our pup had a wonderful time with Tiffany! Tiffany sent us frequent updates and pictures and took extra care of our dog when they were scared of fireworks over the holidays. We are so grateful for Tiffany’s care and attentiveness - our minds were at ease knowing that our dog was being well taken care of. Thank you, Tiffany!”
“I had just finished writing an extensive and detailed message, explaining how they were great with First timers using this kind of service, but then my phone froze and deleted that long detailed review and I’m not gonna take the time to do it again 🤣. Just know that they knew how to handle first timers. I highly recommend them.”
About: Lived in a multi-dog household for over 15 years providing care to pups of all ages (newborn puppies to seniors). Experienced in puppy care, senior care, medication administration, and rescue pups needing a little extra attention as they're getting adjusted to their new furrever homes. Although I don't personally provide training, I've had experience in going through training for our own pups and can support in maintaining the training that you have already in place. Guests are provided with care full-time. I'm available throughout the week and are generally flexible with pick up and drop off times. Though there may be some slight adjustments to the our daily routine, a general idea of our schedule for boarding consists of.. 6:30am potty break and playtime 7am breakfast and continued playtime 8:30am lounge/nap time Potty breaks every 3-4 hours 12:00pm -2:00pm Afternoon playtime some time during this time frame if the weather permits 5:30pm-7:00pm dinner around this time frame Evening play until 7:30pm-8pm 11:00pm for a final potty break We live in a fenced home that is double gated with a large spacious backyard. Guests are only allowed outside when there is human supervision. Guests are welcome to wrestle and play chase; however, if we do see there is an escalation in energy levels then we do a quick reset and separate guests for several minutes before returning to a lower energy of play behavior.
“Anne & Jason did an excellent job caring for our 5 pound dog. They were so good to send me daily pictures and promptly answer any questions I had. We will definitely be using them again and have already booked them for our next trip.”
“This is Hazyl’s second time boarding at Amy’s! I was pretty nervous at first because Hazyl needed some topical ointments for her skin but Amy did a great job at following instruction on how the ointments needed to be applied. She updated me everyday with pictures and details. I got to meet her husband today and he was very friendly and nice. Hazyl was so loved at their place and we will be boarding her at Amy’s again! 🩷”
“Yihan was amazing with my dog Miumiu! He provided a calm and comfortable environment, sent photo updates, and even gave Miumiu a nice bath before he came home. He looked happy and relaxed the whole time. I’ll definitely book with Yihan again!”
“If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! Irina was incredible with my two dogs, including one who required medication. She kept me updated with photos of them looking completely relaxed and happy. Irina was also incredibly accommodating to my needs for drop-off and pick-up. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Valerie is amazing! She’s friendly, communicative and accommodating. My family and I went to disney so we left our chihuahua, Penny, just for the day. Valerie sent us a bunch of updates with photos and videos which put us at ease. She provided such a safe space for Penny who is a small and anxious dog, and went above and beyond to accommodate Penny’s specific needs—she as far as wearing Penny in her carrier the whole day so she felt safe and comforted! Valerie managed to get my shy dog to interact with her other pets, which was a huge win! I highly recommend valerie for any pet sitting needs, and will definitely use her when we travel here in the future (:”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South El Monte
We had a wonderful experience with Yanet! She was friendly, reliable, caring, responsive, and attentive. She has a great home with a wonderful outdoor space that was perfect for my pup to access. She gave Sweetie plenty of opportunities for breaks throughout the day. I really appreciated knowing Sweetie was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’ll definitely book her again!
Madalyn was awesome and perfect for my dog Marshmello. He seemed to get comfortable with her immediately which is unlike him. As someone with an anxious pet, I’m usually stressed leaving him with someone he’s not familiar with. But Madalyn has this sweet, calming energy that both my dog and I picked up on. I’m telling you, I’ve never seen my dog care less that I picked him up lmao. He felt right at home with her. And I’m convinced he was fine making her his new mom :) Madalyn was very accommodating and answered all my questions, she kept me updated and sent pictures and videos of my pup. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your pet. I would definitely use her again if needed in the future. Thanks for treating my pup so well Madalyn!
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!

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.
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, we recommend 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South El Monte. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
