About: I have one year of experience specializing in walking small dog. I specialize in high-energy leashed walks, ensuring your dog gets the safe and perfect amount of exercise and sniffing time during our walk. I am available for dog walking from morning until early evening, but I prefer bookings between 1 PM and 6 PM. If you need a morning walk, feel free to message me so we can discuss the detailed schedule! Safety is my top priority. When walking your dog, I will double check leashes, and stay alert to the surroundings, avoid reactive dogs or hazards.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and have always loved animals. I’ve had my own dog for the past 5 years and my own cat for 8 years, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable with different sizes, ages, and personalities, and with walks, feeding, playtime, and following your pet’s normal routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I’ll treat them like my own and keep you updated with plenty of pictures! I work full-time during the week, but I’m available in the evenings and have much more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to help with evening walks, drop-in visits, weekend care, and overnight stays. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so your pet will always get the time and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and take the time to make sure their pet feels comfortable with me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else that keeps your pet safe. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and leave everything the way I found it. I’m always happy to send pictures and updates so you know how your pet is doing.

In my client’s home, I am very detail oriented and respectful of any rules and guidelines. I take pet care very seriously, and I make sure to keep in touch.

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for more than 35 years for neighbors, friends and family including special needs, vision impaired, in diapers, senior/older dogs, aggressive behaviors as well as big and small. I’ve cared for many breeds both in their homes as well as my home. I’m a professional musician and I work 1-3 nights/week so my schedule varies and is flexible when planned in advance. I can sit in your home or mine. I try to schedule around my part time work schedule. My retired husband is my dog sitting partner so we can accommodate most schedules. Our home has a fenced backyard and a friendly mixed pointer and pug to keep your dog company. The dogs can enjoy the backyard frequently through the day, the back door is often kept open. During the night the dogs and are kept indoors from 12am-7:30am. Dogs can see on their own dog beds or even our sofas. We are a dog family and we’ve housed many dogs through the years. When caring for your dogs in your home, I try to maintain your routines as much as possible. I give lots of affection, petting frequently, brushing once a day. If owner prefers, I allow pets to sit with me, on me. I prefer not to sleep with them. However, if that is what they are accustomed to I am willing. Please warn me if they are loud snorers (like my husband lol)

About: Hi NEW clients, use my code: evonnw84743, for $20 off your first booking! Or you can use the link https://www.rover.com/sit/evonnw84743 to save! Animals have always been a big part of my life, but my first real hands-on experience came a few years ago when I had the chance to care for my friend’s dogs—it was such a rewarding experience and really confirmed how much I love working with pets. Since then, I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, not just dogs! I currently have two sweet guinea pigs, so I’m comfortable with small animals like rabbits, hamsters, and rats too. Right now, I also have one dog of my own, and I’ve spent a lot of time researching how to give him the healthiest, happiest life possible—from nutrition and enrichment to training and routine. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. Since I already care for my own pets, it’s easy for me to incorporate walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles into my routine. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s schedule to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like at home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, their comfort and safety always come first. I make sure the space is clean, calm, and pet-friendly—free of anything that could be unsafe or stressful. At home, I’ve set up cozy spots for rest, areas for play, and keep things tidy and secure. If I’m in someone else’s house, I always treat it with respect and stick closely to the pet’s routine to help them feel at ease. I know every pet is different, so I take time to learn what they like, what makes them feel safe, and how to help them feel right at home. Clear communication and trust are super important to me—I always keep pet parents updated and make sure their pets are getting all the love and care they deserve.

About: I’m an animal lover and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I have an associate degree in veterinary technology to become an RVT and soon to be a Veterinarian when I’m older. I have a big passion for animals providing love and attentive care. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, happy, and I would love to give your furry babies the same care and attention I give to my own! <3. I’m currently working part time as a vet assistant at my job. Otherwise I am available most of the time. Although some days can change such as dropping my brother off to school in the mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As a veterinary assistant with an associate degree in Veterinary Technology, I understand the importance of making sure a pet feels loved and safe under my care. In fact, I like to put myself in their shoes and think before I do something. Such as if they ever feel scared when meeting me, I’ll let them smell me and get used to my scent before petting them. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to provide a loving, stress free environment and follow each pet’s individual needs and routines. I will carefully follow the owner’s instructions, provide updates, and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.

About: I have 20 years of experience in dog care and can take house and yard and can also walk the dog on time. I’ve been raising dogs for a while now. It’s a joyful experience filled with playful moments and challenges. Every day, I learn something new about their behavior and needs. They bring so much happiness and companionship into my life. It’s amazing how much love and loyalty they show. 1. Feeding: • Once or twice a day depending on the animal and vet recommendations. 2. Fresh Water: • Change water at least once daily. 3. Exercise/Playtime: • Dogs need walks (15–30minutes depending on breed). 4. Grooming (as needed): • Brushing, checking for ticks/fleas, especially for long-haired animals. 5. Clean-ups: • Scoop litter boxes, clean up after walks, or spot-clean cages. Routine Care Includes: • Feeding and Watering: According to the pet’s normal schedule. • Exercise & Play: Walks for dogs, play sessions for cats or small animals. • Medication Administration: If required — pills, drops, or injections (if trained). • Litter Box or Yard Clean-Up: Scooping, changing litter, picking up after walks. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, light tidying up, alternating lights or blinds to make the home look lived in.

About: I grew up with a Great Dane who I cared for from childhood until she passed, and she’s the reason I’ve loved pets my whole life. Since then, I’ve helped take care of family and friends’ dogs of all sizes. Today I have an 11-year-old chihuahua (Camila) who is healthy, loved, and very used to having little pups around and a 5-year-old Weimaraner (Lolo) who was literally ‘trained’ by Camila to be gentle and respectful with small dogs. We also have a 16-month-old baby who has learned to be calm, gentle, and loving with pets. Your pup will be in a loving, kind, safe, and experienced home. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to give consistent attention and supervision to your pup throughout the day. My son is in daycare during daytime hours, so the home stays calm, quiet, and perfect for small dogs. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced front yard where dogs can safely explore under my supervision. I only care for a small number of pups at a time to keep the environment calm and safe. My two pups are gentle, respectful of small breeds, and all interactions are always supervised. I can also separate or crate dogs if needed to match their routine.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve raised 5 dogs of my own—Money, Little Bro, Sugar, Latte, and my beloved senior pup Bear Bear, who was with us until the age of 18. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs, including overnight stays in my home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pup in my care with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. I also love capturing sweet, candid moments and sharing photos with pet parents so they can see how their pups are doing while they’re away. I recently stepped away from my full-time career and am enjoying having more flexibility in my schedule. This gives me plenty of time to give your pup the attention, companionship, walks, and care they need. I’m generally available throughout the week and can work with your dog’s routine and schedule. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and each dog’s individual routine and needs. I follow pet parents’ instructions carefully and treat their home with the same respect I would my own. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel connected and know your pup is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

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.

Jacqueline was a pleasure to have take care of our fur babies. We appreciate her communication with us and all the pictures she sent. Not one day did we have to worry if our babies were ok. Maybe just the first day because we didn’t know what to expect. We have one really shy cat and we were worried she wouldn’t eat or come out of hiding but she did really great with her. She even played with them. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - South El Monte

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in South El Monte is $11 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $121 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 21,838 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South El Monte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
