About: I provide personalized one-on-one pet services to ensure every pet receives dedicated attention and care. For each service, I only accept one client’s pet(s) at a time. This means I do not combine pets from different households during the same service, allowing me to focus entirely on your pet’s comfort, routine, and individual needs. Once you book my service, I reserve that scheduled time slot exclusively for your pet. I do not accept another client for that same service period, ensuring your pet receives my full attention without distractions or divided care. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate almost any time. Just send me a message whenever you need my availability, and I'll be happy to work with your schedule! If you’re a new Rover user, use my referral code for your first booking and get $20 off! https://www.rover.com/sit/annax02660 When your pet is in my care, I treat them as if they were my own, with love, patience, and attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by following their usual routine, providing plenty of affection and exercise, and paying close attention to their individual needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring and reliable hands.

About: I've had my own dogs and cats for most of my life ranging from easy going to skittish and temperamental. I've been a go to pet carer for family, friends, and for hire since I was a teenager. I have experience with pets with complex dietary needs, medication regiments, very shy animals who don't deal well with being apart from their families, and high energy critters who need lots of stimulation. I treat them all with the patience and kindness they deserve while they are apart from their owners. I'm not living with a pet for the first time in a long time and miss I am working part time, which leaves me very flexible to care for your pets on your schedule as needed for drop in care or longer stays with your pet in their own home including nights, weekends, and overnights. I have a spacious hatchback that I can use to transport your pets. I cannot care for pets in my own home due to a highly allergic roommate, but I can fetch pets and take them wherever they need to be.

About: Hi! My name is Jing, and I’m so excited to care for your furry family members while you’re away. 💕 I live with my family in a house with a fully fenced backyard and a separately fenced swimming pool area, providing a safe and comfortable environment where dogs can relax, play, and explore. 🐾 My Care Style I’m a patient and loving home-style caregiver, and I treat every dog who stays with me like part of my own family. 🐕 Every day, I provide: * Multiple supervised play sessions in the fenced backyard * Activities tailored to each dog’s age, personality, and energy level * Plenty of companionship, attention, and rest throughout the day 🧠 In my home, I also provide: * Snuffle mats * Puzzle toys * A variety of interactive toys All toys are cleaned and sanitized regularly to provide a safe and healthy play environment. 🏊 Summer Pool Time During the summer, dogs who enjoy water may have the opportunity to play in the pool. Pool time is only offered with the owner’s permission, and all water activities are closely supervised to ensure every dog’s safety and comfort. 🐾 About Crate Use I personally do not encourage long-term crate confinement, and I will never place a dog in a crate without the owner’s permission. I prefer to let dogs move freely in a safe environment so they can feel relaxed and comfortable. However, if your dog is crate-trained or needs a crate for safety, rest, or training, I’m happy to use your crate or provide one, as long as we discuss it in advance. 🏡 Cleanliness & Safety Cleanliness and safety are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home every day so your dog can feel comfortable and at ease throughout their stay. 🍓 Optional Add-On Services (Additional Fee) If requested in advance, I also offer: * 🦷 Teeth brushing care * 🍎 Fresh fruit or plain yogurt treats (only with your permission and if there are no allergies) * 🍗 Homemade fresh meals prepared according to your instructions (ingredients, portions, and allergies will always be discussed beforehand) ❤️ My Philosophy I truly enjoy spending time with pets and deeply value the trust owners place in me. My goal is simple: 👉 To make every dog feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while staying with me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! 🐾💕 🐶 A Typical Day in My Care Every pup in my home enjoys a warm, structured, and loving routine: 🌞 Morning – We kick off the day in the backyard! Pups get to stretch their legs, do their morning potty, and play around before enjoying a delicious breakfast. 🌤️ Midday – We head outside to the yard for a quick potty break and a little fun. Afterward, we spend most of the time indoors—relaxing in a cozy, air-conditioned room if it’s hot—so everyone can enjoy a peaceful midday nap. 🌿 Afternoon – After naptime, the pups can head back out to the yard to play, explore, or just relax. I’m always home, so your pup is never left alone and always receives plenty of love and attention. 🌆 Evening – Dinner time! For any picky eaters, I like to mix in a little shredded chicken or tasty toppers to encourage them to eat up. After dinner, they head back out to the yard for more play and relaxing family time. 🌙 Night – Right before bedtime, we go out to the yard one last time for a final potty break. Afterward, your pup can settle down for a calm, restful night, feeling completely safe and loved in their favorite cozy spot. 🏡 A Safe & Secure Home Away from Home Your pup’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home is a single-family house with a spacious backyard that features a double-gate system for extra peace of mind. Your furry friend can run and play in total safety, with zero risk of wandering off! Additionally, we have an in-ground pool surrounded by its own locked safety fence. The pool area stays securely locked at all times to ensure complete safety. However, if your pup is a water lover, I’m more than happy to unlock the gate and supervise some splash time with your permission! Indoors, our home is clean, quiet, and kept refreshingly cool with air conditioning on hot days. Because I am home full-time, your pup will never be left alone. Whether they are napping, playing in the yard, or enjoying cozy cuddle time, they’ll receive gentle, around-the-clock care. I treat every dog like family—balancing fun, structure, and endless love. With regular photo and video updates sent directly to you, you can relax with complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in a reliable, super secure, and loving environment. ❤️

Sonjia is absolutely fantastic! We thought our dogs would take naps after we left the house and left them with her but instead they played for almost the entire time we were gone. That’s a testament to how much they immediately liked her! It’s scary to leave our babies with someone new, especially with our puppy having some health issues but Sonjia immediately made us feel at ease and her expertise and confidence with animals/dogs was instantly apparent. So glad to have found her!!

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.

Faye is all you could ask for in a pet sitter and more! She went above and beyond in caring for our two cats and we could not have felt more at ease knowing they were in her hands. She gave them attention, stimulation, and attended to all of their needs. She kept us well informed of how they were doing and even went to great lengths to battle the ant colony that decide to invade their food dishes while we were away. We are so grateful for all of Faye’s efforts and care and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Pasadena on Rover is $27.75 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 9,508 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Pasadena. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
