“Shurovi is a nice lady, and has that caring and calm vibe which makes me feel safe knowing my cat is in good hands. I think my Ah Fei sensed those vibes and he seems relaxed around her.”

“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.”

“Alex is wonderful! I went out of town for Thanksgiving and left my cat for the first time since moving here in August. I don’t yet have any neighbors or friends to keep an eye on him for me, so finding Alex was truly a blessing. She is attentive, communicative, knowledgeable, and loving- everything I value in a pet sitter. I absolutely recommend her and will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Anita has been an absolute delight!! She was very effective in communicating the details regarding my cats in a timely and effective manner. My cats , who generally do not open up to new people, were comfortable with Anita just in a couple of days if interaction. She took really good care of the cats and the surroundings. I am highly impressed by her work ethics and love for the furry pets.”

About: Growing up without pets of my own, I was always happy to help out family and friends with their pets. While more of a cat person, I’ve watched dogs of many breeds and ages, lizards, fish, and birds as well. I’ve administered medicine to older kitties, worked with aggressive smaller dogs, and walked dogs twice my size (I am only 5”2) ☺️ I’m also known to go above and beyond simply because I love animals. I treat them all like they are my own and understand leaving them is never easy. I aim to provide peace of mind in any way possible. At home I have two kitty cats that my partner and I care for. When I’m watching your pets, they are my top priority. Any hours you need, I have you covered. I teach yoga a few times a week so I’m flexible (pun intended) with my schedule! At your home, I will have a list of any questions upon arrival to ensure your pets stay safe and healthy with me. We’ll go over feeding, sleeping, play zones, water, and any medication your pets need. On top of that, I’ll ensure I have knowledge of all doors or windows that can be opened to allow your pet outside.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs as a child, which gave me an early appreciation for the companionship, care, and attention pets need. I currently have three cats, ranging from 2 to 6 years old, and I adopted each of them when they were young kittens at around 2-3 months old. Caring for them from kittenhood into adulthood has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box care, grooming, playtime, and caring for multiple pets at once. I’m also comfortable caring for shy or nervous pets and understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m patient and willing to give them the time and space they need to feel safe. I can follow detailed care instructions closely and have experience giving oral medication when needed. I love spending quality time with animals, whether that means playing with them, going on a walk, giving them treats, keeping them company, or simply sitting nearby so they feel comfortable. I treat pets like family and will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m often able to accommodate short-notice requests and can also plan ahead for longer visits or pet-sitting needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and do my best to keep their schedule consistent while you’re away. I’m happy to come to your pet’s familiar environment, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, treats, basic grooming, medication as instructed, and plenty of companionship and attention. I’ll also follow any specific care instructions you provide and do my best to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. I understand that some pets may be shy or need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and happy to let them approach at their own pace.

About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.

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 💗🐾

“Our kitties LOVE Priscilla! She is patient, professional and attentive to their needs. Great photos, and feedback on how they were doing on each of the visits was truly appreciated every single time. One of them was a little sick and needed medication, as well as a special diet that Priscilla had no problem handling. Great job handling the litter boxes too. Though we missed our kitties, knowing they were in her capable and caring hands made our time away more bearable. She's a loving, caring animal lover and we're so happy to have booked her.”

About: Hello, I currently work at a doggy daycare named St. Tropawz. It can become quite busy, meaning I'm familiar with caring for up to 15 dogs at any given time. I'm particularly fond of Dobermans and high energy breeds like Huskies. I understand how to work with a dogs temperament to keep everyone safe during sudden unforeseen events. I work part time at a doggy daycare located in Rosemead California named St. Tropawz. Outside of that I'm a student, currently learning Linux and cybersecurity after having been in the cannabis industry for 7 years. I'm familiar with how to approach pets that are unfamiliar with me but would greatly appreciate meeting your pet alongside you to help establish trust. I currently have a senior Husky named whiskie who is ten and a half years of whom I take for daily walks while riding my longboard. That way he gets to stretch his legs and go for a nice run or jaunt jog. While working at the doggy daycare, I will at times look after dogs who are a bit skittish. I understand the importance in giving a dog space and allowing them the time and patience needed to warm up to new individuals. I also was taught by my parents to respect another persons home. I like to think the way we interact with the world around us is a reflection of how we were raised and a mirror to our inner world. With that in mind I will pay careful mind to your space, your instructions and your pets!

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!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog person who genuinely loves spending time with dogs — morning walks, fetch in the park, belly rubs on the couch, you name it. I know every pup has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow yours exactly as you've set it up. I'm reliable, tidy, and comfortable caring for your home while you're away. Your dog gets a companion who's actually excited to be there, and you get peace of mind knowing your home and your furry friend are in good hands. I'm a night owl, so evening walks and feedings are no problem. I'm home most of the day, so potty breaks and playtime fit right in. Evenings are for dinner, a walk, and winding down together. At night I'm right there in the house, so your pup gets to stay comfy in their own home with me nearby — no stress, no big changes to their routine. Since I offer overnight house sitting, all the care happens in your home — which I think is the best setup for your pet. I follow your instructions closely: feeding schedules, portion sizes, walk routes, medications, and any quirks or preferences you share with me. I keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel secure while you're away. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can see how they're doing. Beyond the pets, I'll keep your home tidy and secure, making sure everything's as you left it when you return.

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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in East Pasadena on Rover is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 per visit. 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. 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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
