“Elissa was an amazing sitter for our kitties! She was incredibly communicative, prompt, and reliable. Not to mention, I could feel how much she truly cared about Coraline and Toulouse. Elissa even did a video call with us to “meet” and go over details before our trip. We will absolutely be using Elissa again for our cat sitting needs. Thank you Elissa for your genuine care and kindness!”

“I appreciate Jasper being able to house-sit with my kitties. They sent multiple pictures which I really appreciated. I had a special situation with cats that had to be kept separated with a feeding schedule. Jasper was very accommodating and friendly. When I forgot to put out wet cat food for my one cats, they found the correct brand and gave them the mentioned amount and stored the rest in the fridge. I am so grateful they were able to assist with my mistake. I will use them again for sure.”

About: Ive had dogs and cats ever since I was a kid, whether they chose us as strays or we chose them. Ive had white german Shepards, a black Labrador and a Staffordshire Terrier as of recent. Currently owning two adorable playful cats with my girlfriend, Tiger and Choco. Ones sweet and loving while the other is a fun loving naughty lil devil. Im a freelance artist/painter/illustrator and instructor. Some factors as to why my free-time is more than others are my jobs may be spaced out and I do most of my work at night and or the weekends when I'm not teaching. The cats I have now are both indoor kitties, I provide them with tons of toys and Churu treats to keep them happy. I enjoy being outdoors and going on walks/ hikes or bike rides but its hard doing that with the cats I have because they aren't so keen to being outside. I used to ride my bike with my Staffordshire Terrier around LA alot.

About: I have grown up with a beautiful goldendoodle who lives with my parents. I also have professional experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I love animals so much and they give me so much joy and peace. I am a gentle and caring person who you can trust with your babies. When my old roommate in Boston left for business school, she left her cat with me for a year because she knew how much we were bonded and she trusted me to take care of her baby boy. So I also have experience with cats! I would professionally pet sit for my neighbors when they were out of town and would gladly provide a reference. I have been a sitter on rover for 6 years now and love it. I now have a 2 year old mini goldendoodle who lives with me and she is my princess! She loves playing with other pups! Will take your pups on hikes at Griffith Park I am currently working from home so am available all days of the week for boarding and daycare! Pets will have attention my full attention and get lots of snuggles! I live in a beautiful home in Pasadena with a fenced in yard and plenty of space! Beautiful garden and plenty of room to run around.

“My cat has a really great boarding experience with Alicia and Yun! He was able to settle down easily and feel as comfortable as he was at home thanks to their good care. They always provide photos and updates, so I don’t have to worry while I’m away from my fur baby 😺 I would definitely recommend them for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter!”

About: Hi! I'm Sarah, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to Margot, my sweet 11-year-old pit mix. I grew up with a beloved cat named Tigger who lived to the age of 18, and I've also cared for hamsters and other small pets throughout the years. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly believe the love of a pet can be healing, comforting, and life-changing. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply a reassuring presence while you're away, I'm committed to providing attentive and compassionate care. Because I've cared for pets at many different life stages, I'm comfortable with puppies, senior pets, administering medications, and following special diets or care instructions. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, You can trust that I'll follow your instructions carefully and communicate clearly throughout every visit. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet receives the same love, patience, and kindness they get from you. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I have an 11-year-old pit mix, Margot, who keeps me active with walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, medication administration, and extra time for pets who need a little more attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and believe consistency, patience, and affection help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I'll make sure they receive attentive, loving care. At this time, I provide care in my clients' homes through drop-in visits and dog walking services. Because I have a senior dog of my own, I am not currently offering pet boarding in my home. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, administer medications if needed, clean litter boxes, take dogs on walks, engage in playtime, and give plenty of affection and companionship. I understand that every pet is unique. Some want lots of attention and belly rubs, while others prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free while you're away. My goal is to treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own family members.

About: What Sets Me Apart Caring for animals has truly been a lifelong part of who I am. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 4 years old and dogs since my early teens. My parents have fostered and sheltered animals for over 25 years, and when I visit home, I help care for what we lovingly call our little “pet haven.” Through that experience, I’ve cared for kittens and puppies all the way through their senior years. Being around foster and rescue animals has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to read different personalities — from energetic and playful to calm, sensitive, or even a little sassy 😊. I’m comfortable with both high-energy pets and senior pets who need a slower, softer approach. I also have a deep respect for animal safety and well-being — even rescuing baby birds and bringing them to the local humane society when needed. Animals have always been a source of comfort and joy in my life, and I treat every pet with that same level of love, attentiveness, and care. With a steady weekday schedule, pet care fits naturally into my routine with evening pet visits after 6pm and weekend availability, limiting bookings to maintain focused, reliable, quality care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions and routines to help your pet feel secure and stress-free. I maintain a clean, calm environment and am attentive to details like secured doors, safe walks, and proper feeding. I never overbook, so each pet receives dedicated attention and supervision. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Kevin did a great job with taking care of my skittish cat! She was able to hide and do her own thing but Kevin made sure she was fed (with medication) and her litter box was taken care of. I appreciate that he even sent a picture of my cat while I was gone. She seemed perfectly fine after I came back.”

About: What truly sets me apart is my patience and the way I care for dogs and cats as if they were my own family. Even if a pet is stubborn, moody, or doesn’t want to cooperate, I never rush or force them. I take the time to gently guide, understand, and build trust with them. I have hands-on experience potty training, teaching basic skills, and being part of a pets daily growth and routine. I love spending time playing with them every day and watching them learn and gain confidence over time. I’m also comfortable with daily care tasks such as brushing, administering medication, brushing teeth, and giving baths. My goal is always to provide consistent, loving, and patient care so every pet feels safe, understood, and truly at home. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. They are my families. I work from home, so I have lots of time and flexibility to be with cats throughout the day. I can easily do drop-in visits, spend extended time with them, or stay overnight whenever needed 🐾 I genuinely love being around cats and truly enjoy every moment with them — whether we’re playing, cuddling, or just quietly keeping each other company. Spending time with cats brings me so much happiness and comfort, and it’s honestly one of my favorite parts of my life 💕 I care for pets with lots of love, patience, and attention — just like I do with my own three very cute cats at home 😸 Every day, I spend at least an hour actively playing with them. Sometimes we play chase with toys, and other times we play fetching games, which they absolutely love. I also take grooming and daily care seriously. I clean their ears about three times a week, trim their nails every two weeks, and brush their teeth regularly. I’m comfortable providing all the basic care cats may need, including gentle handling, playtime, grooming, and lots of cuddles and affection. Your cat will be treated like my own and will be in loving, attentive hands. I truly believe that with my care, your kitty will feel healthy, safe, and very happy 💗🐾

About: I’ve been an animal person since I was 7. In our house there always been some cat who fully believed it owned the house and graciously allowed us to live in it. 4 years ago life upgraded me to the world of dogs when I started dating a guy with a big rescue pup. My Watson taught me the true meaning of loyalty, peeing a little in joy, and strategic snack theft. I’m also a registered Pasadena Humane volunteer, so your pet gets someone who knows how to handle shy pups, energetic zoomers, cuddle lovers, senior sweethearts, and every personality in between. I take safety seriously and affection even more seriously. If your dog likes people who speak fluent “treat,” “walk,” and “butt scratch,” we’ll be a great match. My job is remote with a flexible schedule that allows me to take care of my 7 yo son and your furry kids. I am almost always available to take your pet home and have a lot of possibilities to visit them in your house. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in the green and safe neighborhood of Pasadena. I have a fenced balcony for the fresh air and very cozy, walkable surroundings.

About: ***UPDATE! Opening my profile up to new clients again after about a year, as I have some openings! Feel free to reach out with inquiries!*** I have had dogs my entire life, and what can I say — I just love them. I have cared for dogs for 20 years, and even spent a few years training dogs at the American Kennel Club (AKC). I rescued my own pup nearly 10 years ago, and rescued my cat ~5 years ago now-- and have since been equally obsessed with felines. They’re incredibly different animals, with their own way of looking at the world, both of which I respect. Over the years, I have walked and cared for many family's, friends’ and colleagues' dogs and cats of all ages, before opening my network to my neighborhood. ***Key Notes: - Currently, I am open for dog walking and dog/cat drop-ins. Please see all service options (including add-ons) in my profile and feel free to reach out with questions! - For 60-minute walks, depending on location, weather and your comfort level, I can take your pup(s) for a hike or trail-run nearby! - I have a range of experience, from energetic and exercise-craving dogs to elderly pups who require gentle care and a patient, slower speed. I love providing care for either side of the spectrum, and all in between. The bottom line is: the safety of your dog/dogs is my top priority. I know how it is. I’ve used Rover and other services for my dog and cat, and I understand how it feels to entrust another person with your fur-kiddo. I am patient and will give you whatever you need to feel comfortable with me as a caregiver — from answering questions, to a meet-and-greet (in person or on zoom), to picture updates all along the way. Every dog and cat is different, and I want to know what makes your beloved pet unique so I can provide him/her with the best care. I’m a good communicator — from medications to leash/sidewalk politics to triggers and everything in between, you can rest assured we will be on the same page. I have experience caring for all shapes and sizes: - Chihuahuas and Terriers (my dog Jack is a mix!) - Bernese Mountain Dogs - Border Collie Mixes - Shepherds - Staffy’s - Golden Retrievers - Shelties - Samoyeds - King Charles - Schnauzers - Norwegian Forest Cats - Tabbies I am happy to take on puppies/kittens and can integrate any training you might be working on with your fur-kiddo. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate most walks and drop-ins depending on your needs. Just shoot me a request and I’ll get back to you right away. I treat everyone’s home with the same respect I expect at my own. I also take privacy very seriously. I am always happy to do meet-and-greets at a public park (or similar) before services. Again, I get it — you're trusting someone new in your home and with your animals. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible!

“Emily did such a great job taking care of our two cats for a weekend trip so we decided to book her for a recent week-long trip too. Once again she was on-time and very communicative, taking the time to play with both cats in addition to feeding them and scooping the litter box. She shared lots of adorable photos which helped ease our separation anxiety. We will definitely be continuing to look to her for our future trips!”

We absolutely love Camille! She genuinely cares about our cat and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. We have been using her for years and trust her completely with both our cat and our home, which gives us such peace of mind when we're away. She's punctual, tidy, communicative, and thoughtful. If anything comes up, she asks questions rather than making assumptions, which we really appreciate. It's clear that she takes her responsibilities seriously and truly cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their pets and home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Altadena is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $42 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
