“We glad Tobby enjoyed his vacation again with Eric, he looks great in the photos & videos, good on this little old guy to have Eric to taken care of him. I would definitely recommend Eric to whom needs sitter when out of town.”
“Madalyn is my 2nd Rover sitter from February 2020. It took awhile for us to choose somebody to take care of our Wesley, someone that we know we can depend on and someone who shares the same love for dogs. We are so glad that we chose Madalyn, our Wesley came back home with no problems at all and a (very) happy boy. Madalyn kept all his routines and even gone way and beyond. Thank you so much Madalyn for the care and attention you have given Wesley while we are away we will surely see each other again.”
“Janice was wonderful and accepted my dog fairly last minute. She clearly had a loving home, sent pics and updates proactively and my dog even came home with a new toy. I'd feel very safe and comfortable leaving my dog there again.”
“Haijin and Victor were great with my dog! They sent us detailed daily updates, several pictures, and were extremely communicative throughout. Highly recommend them!”
“Kathryn is amazing!! We have a senior dog with diabetes and Kathryn was able to administer her medication twice daily without any problems. We loved that she shared pictures of our pup each day. We felt completely comfortable leaving our doggie in her care and it was a bonus that she has a sweet older dog that was a companion for our dog as well. We have already rebooked her services and we highly recommend Kathryn for any pet sitting needs.”
“We have booked Cathy and Andres repeatedly to look after our Billie and every time we can always rely on frequent updates, quick contact if any issues arise, and great/thoughtful care of our pup. It always feels good to have trustworthy care!”
“Karen and Mel were amazing! They were so loving to my kitty and sent me daily pictures and videos. My kitty had a blast and was provided a safe home. I was able to relax knowing he was in good hands!”
“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!”
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.
“Andrue & Mary Isabella are fabulous and trustworthy. They took great care of my dog and cat while I was away from home. I got regular pictures and updates, and would 100% book with them again. Thank you, Andrue & Mary Isabella!”
“Amely was wonderful with FiFi during her two-night stay! From our initial meet-and-greet, she was friendly, professional, and welcoming. Throughout the weekend, she communicated consistently and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us peace of mind. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and the care she provided. We were so pleased with our experience that we’re planning to book with her again for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday week! We highly recommend Amely to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Just picked up my baby from Amy’s place! This time is no different from the past times. Amy’s service just gets better every time I board Hazyl because of her attentive nature. Hazyl was whining once again as we were driving away from her house! Not to mention, she walks right into their house every single time! I know how much Amy and her family treat her as if she were their own pet! I no longer trust anyone else to provide care for my baby. She continues to send me pictures and updates on her daily activities, but I just know she’s in such good hands that I don’t even need to worry. P.S. If you see any negative comments… no, you didn’t! I’m going to continue booking Hazyl with Amy. Your loss, my gain. See you soon—Hazyl and I will be back!!! 🐶🩷”
“Yuhong is the best! She does as she says and provided the best care for our English Bulldog during a weekend getaway. She maintained constant communication and provided updates with pictures which my family and I appreciated. My family and I are grateful to Yuhong and husband for treating Cookie like family.”
“We had such a great experience with Adolfo! He took care of our two dogs, Ozzy (9) and Jessie (1), for a week while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. He took them on walks, played with them, made sure they were fed, and even gave them their vitamins. Adolfo also kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and being well taken care of. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Ozzy and Jessie were in such a positive and caring place. We highly recommend Adolfo and would definitely trust him with our dogs again!”
“Miguel took great care of our two dogs… He sent us an update with photos . He is very friendly and our fur babies immediately felt at ease with him. I feel very confident with Miguel and his wife Camila caring for our Daisy& Opal. Looking forward to booking with them again.”

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
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
