“Fantastic sitter for our Maine coon cat. Very attentive to all details, experienced in animal care and so very flexible. Everything you’d want in a pet sitter! Thank you so much Hayley!”
“Courtney is outstanding! She always goes above and beyond for our fur family!! She even saved us from a potential robber! She takes great care of her clients and ensures safety and amazing care of both pets and their owners!! Thank you Courtney you are a life saver!”
“Lauriane was amazing! She was so patient and kind with our dogs and they seemed really comfortable with her right off the bat. It’s never easy being away from our pups, but knowing they’re in such good hands made me feel so much better. We will definitely reach out again!”
“Emily was amazing with our two very shy cats. By the first day she already got one of our cats to warm up to her, which never happens! She always sent the most beautiful pictures and videos of our boys. We felt very at ease leaving them in her care. We look forward having her again!”
“Gabriella provided great care for my two cats during her drop-in visit. As a first-time Rover user, I was initially anxious, but she quickly alleviated my concerns with her professionalism and warmth! She was fantastic with my cats, keeping me updated with regular communication and sending me plenty of photos during her visit. Even my shy and cautious cat warmed up to her very quickly. I will certainly be reaching out to her again for future cat-sitting needs! Highly recommend Gabriella for her top-notch service and genuine care for pets :)”
“Always a pleasure booking with Edith! She’s very friendly, communicative, and provides the best care. She can also administer my cat’s medication so I don’t have to worry while we’re gone. I definitely recommend her services and look forward to booking with her again!”
“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.”
“Amanda was awesome! She dropped in to check on my cat and took great care of everything. She sent pics, gave me quick updates, and my cat looked super happy and relaxed with her. I felt totally at ease while I was away. Definitely booking her again. Highly recommend!”
“Jacqueline did a great job with Xena. She walked her and took photos and even hung out with my kitties. She is very reliable and caring. I look forward to booking her again. Thank you Jac!!! ♡”

We had such a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of our three cats while we were away and was incredibly kind, attentive, and reliable. She kept us updated and made us feel completely at ease knowing our babies were in good hands. 🥹🐱❤️ You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals and treated our cats with so much love and patience. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for kitties. We’re so grateful for everything and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 💕

Thank you again, Nick. This is our second time booking with Nick. He's always dependable, thorough, and great with the dogs. We'll be a regular return customer for as long as he's still available. I'm glad we've found a sitter we can trust and count on to be available when we need him.
Jacqueline did an excellent job caring for my cats while I was out of town. Her calm and quiet demeanor was very helpful for the comfort of my cats, and I felt confident in my choice to have her as my cat sitter when the more skittish of my two cats did not run and hide when she first met him. She sent me many wonderful pictures of her drop in visits with them, which included engaging play time, and I could tell day by day they were adjusting well to her presence, even excited for her to arrive. The cats and I are satisfied by the care she provided, and I look forward to connecting with Jacqueline again for future trips.
I made a last minute change due to emergency and Jarvis could still accommodate. My velcro baby seems to get along with him. Jarvis kept me updated with photos, responded quickly, and raised questions about pet care. My fur baby needs to have eye drops every hour and he did it for me.
Beverly took incredible care of my dog! She kept me updated at each visit and was very good at communication. I loved the pictures she sent when she took him on walks and silly things he would do. She also went above and beyond the expected service which I am thankful for. I will definitely use her in the future!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in South El Monte on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 21,832 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South El Monte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South El Monte stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South El Monte. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
