About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. I’ve had the opportunity to raise multiple dog and cat litters ranging from days to weeks old. I’ve been dog sitting for close friends and family for the past five years and have learned to work with shy, older and more energetic dogs.

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life and have owned and cared for many different pets over the years, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of temperaments and needs. I'm a responsible, reliable student here in Pasadena, working to help support myself through school, and I take that responsibility seriously when it comes to caring for someone else's pet too. Whether it's a daily walk or watching your house and pets while you're away, I show up on time, follow your instructions closely, and treat your animals like my own. I'd love to be your go-to sitter. I'm a full-time student, so pet care fits naturally around my class and research schedule rather than competing with a 9-to-5. I have reliable open blocks most weekdays for walks and check-ins, plus wide-open evenings and weekends for overnight house sitting. I'm also happy to be flexible if your schedule changes last minute. When I'm caring for pets in your home, I treat it like my own. I follow your instructions on locks, alarms, feeding, and routines exactly, I don't have guests over, and I keep a close eye on the house the whole time I'm there. On walks, I always keep dogs leashed near roads and double check collars and harnesses before heading out.

“Alex did a phenomenal job watching over Miranda and taking over other little things. She even gave me a heads up about some possible issues that Miranda was going through so that I could set up an appointment with the vet ASAP. I highly recommend her!”
About: I've had dogs all my life and have always had a household full. My home is very dog friendly where they can come in and out of the house through a pet door to a big back yard and they basically have the run of the house. I treat them like family (I have 2 small dogs of my own). I've been taking care of the same dogs on and off since 2010 and the owner absolutely loves the care I give her two Schnauzers. I volunteered at the local humane society for six years before becoming a pet sitter. When in my care, dog owners need not worry about anything. They are in a home environment and get the loving care they are accustom to. I am assisted by my husband and adult son who lives with us in caring for the dogs. Dogs in my care make themselves at home very quickly. If a dog needs special care/treatment that is not a problem. I have experience in administering medication, injections and am a great teeth brusher! Most of all, the dogs in my care get the same love my own dogs get and they can sense this very quickly. I am very fortunate to live walking distance to a state-of-the-art dog park where dogs can run and play freely in a safe environment. I'm retired so I have a lot of time so being a dog sitter is ideal for my lifestyle. My canine guests have the run of the house as do my own dogs. I treat my canine guests life family. I sleep in the same room with them and am with them all the time since I'm retired.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my family since the day I was born. I’ve loved having pets growing up as a kid; I’ve owned and cared for a variety of animals ranging from birds and puffer fishes, to geckos and hamsters. I especially enjoy local walks with dogs as it’s a fun way to maintain activity and fitness, while exploring the neighborhood! I typically work full time during the week at my office in DTLA, and commute from Pasadena. Availability: -Monday - Thursday evenings after 5pm (drop-in visits and/or dog sitting in LA, SGV, and anywhere in between) -Fridays* and weekends available (in and around the entire SGV) If you and your pet(s) reside around the Pasadena, SGV, and LA area, I can plan and try my best to accommodate based on your time and needs! I have a large open, but walled/gated yard, with a fenced off dog run section and 2 dog houses. Plenty of shade and water, without any hazardous items.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arcadia
Lindsay is outstanding - super reliable and communicative. During a recent visit, my cat’s auto feeder stopped working, and on top of it, ants were getting into my apt. She let me know right away, came up with some quick solutions/helped clean things up, and still made sure my cat was well taken care of. She’s the best!
Was wonderfully comforting having Caroline take care of our pets while we were out of town – she was attentive and thoughtful about all of their care, including playtime! Loved getting her photos and videos with the updates each day – made me happy to know someone so in tune was there with them.
Neko took care of Elizabeth in such a considerate manner. She constantly sent me updates with pictures and notes about her appetite. She also tried to play with Elizabeth to get her attention after feeding her. I highly recommend Neko as she is very thoughtful and truly caring for my cat!
Alyssa has been taking care of our two dogs. One of them needs special care such as insulin administration 2x/day and some pills. She is easy to communicate with and sent us regular updates. We were comfortable leaving our fur babies while we went on vacation. We highly recommend Alyssa! :)
She took such great care of my cat! She was attentive, caring, and always communicated promptly. She was also flexible and adjusted her approach and communication based on the situation. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. Highly recommend her!
I feel so lucky to have found her! She is incredibly caring and thoughtful, always follows the house rules and instructions, and even stays a little longer to make sure Rudy is taken care of. I really appreciate how much love and attention she gives him. I’ll definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! ❤️

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.

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 .

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.
