About: I grew up with dogs and am an all-around animal lover. I’ve been pet-sitting for the past 5 years. I’m doting, consistent with walks, schedules, and playtime, and very clean and neat. I am about to start grad school, and will have free time when I am not in classes to walk and care for pets! I love being active, and am happy to go on meandering walks with lots of sniffing stops, fast walks/runs, and everything in between! I treat pets with lots of care, love, and attention. I am good at keeping their routines, giving lots of playtime and/or structure. I am very respectful of other’s homes. I will keep things neat and tidy.

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: I've had dogs for over 20 years, and cats prior to that. I love animals and have been vegan for over 15 years. I had 4 dogs at one time and just recently lost my last one, my 17 year old poodle, Max. I've decided to hold off on getting another dog for now, but I miss having a dog in my life. I'm a single, professional woman living in Pasadena. I have 2 grown kids and 1 grandson. I'm excited to start meeting some new dogs and cats. I prefer to pet and house sit in your home, but may consider pet sitting in my own home on certain occasions. I work full-time as an accountant in my own home in Pasadena. Therefore, I have great flexibility with scheduling. I travel for work on occasion. I am a very conscientious person and will take excellent care of your pets. I love dogs and I am a very hands-on caregiver. I love walking them, snuggling with them, playing with them, and just spending time with them. I had cats as a teenager, and grew up around them, so I am also very comfortable with cats. I am an experienced homeowner, so I will take very good care of your home while you're away.

About: From the time I was a child, dogs have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up, my family welcomed various furry companions into our home, each leaving an indelible mark on my life. It wasn't until three years ago, however, that I embarked on my journey as a part-time dog sitter. It all began when a neighbor, aware of my love for dogs, asked if I could look after their playful Labrador retriever, Bailey, while they were away on vacation. Eager to help and excited at the prospect of spending time with a new furry friend, I eagerly agreed. From the moment Bailey bounded through the door, tail wagging with unbridled excitement, I knew I was in for an adventure. Over the course of that week, we forged an unbreakable bond, spending our days exploring the local park, playing fetch until the sun dipped below the horizon, and curling up together for cozy cuddle sessions. Word of mouth quickly spread, and soon, I found myself inundated with requests from friends and neighbors in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Each new furry client brought with them their own unique personality and quirks, from the mischievous terrier who loved nothing more than digging up the garden to the gentle giant who was content to simply lounge in the sunshine. Though my journey as a dog sitter may have started as a humble endeavor, it has blossomed into a deeply fulfilling passion. Each wag of a tail, slobbery kiss, and grateful lick serves as a reminder of the profound joy and love that dogs bring into our lives. And as I continue on this journey, I am grateful for the opportunity to play a small part in enriching the lives of these beloved companions, one tail wag at a time. I’m working and living around SG,Alhambra,Pasadena and Arcadia areas. For weekday,I’d prefer afternoon and evening. For weekends, I’m available all the time! Overall, I’m flexible! In My Home: 1.Safe and Pet-Friendly Environment: I maintain a safe and pet-friendly environment in my home by securing any potentially hazardous items, such as toxic plants or small objects that pets could swallow. I also ensure that all electrical cords are tucked away and inaccessible to curious pets. 2.Supervision and Interaction: Pets in my home receive constant supervision and interaction to ensure their safety and well-being. Whether it's playing in the backyard, going for walks in the neighborhood, or lounging indoors, I provide engaging activities to keep pets stimulated and happy. 3.Comfortable Accommodations: I provide comfortable accommodations for pets, including cozy bedding, toys, and designated areas for eating and resting. I strive to make them feel at home and alleviate any anxiety they may have about being in a new environment. In Client's Home: 1.Establishing Trust: Building trust with both the pet and the owner is essential when caring for pets in their home. I take the time to get to know the pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions provided by the owner. By maintaining open communication and demonstrating reliability, I aim to establish trust and confidence in my ability to care for their beloved pet. 2.Respecting the Home Environment: I respect the client's home environment by adhering to any rules or guidelines they have in place, such as restrictions on certain areas of the house or specific feeding schedules. I ensure that the home is kept clean and tidy during my visits, minimizing any disruption to the household routine. 3.Ensuring Security: I prioritize the security of the client's home by taking necessary precautions, such as locking doors and windows when entering and exiting the premises. I also remain vigilant for any potential safety hazards or signs of intrusion, reporting any concerns to the client promptly. 4.Maintaining Routine: To minimize stress and anxiety for the pet, I strive to maintain their regular routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding times, exercise schedules, and any other daily rituals that they are accustomed to.

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.

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: Senior cat mom skilled at managing: hijinks, special diets & administering medication (oral/topical)*! I treat all fur babies with the same love & meticulous attention I give my own 🐱🐶 It can be nervewracking being away from your pet, but not to worry — I give LOTS of updates & always confirm before doing anything outside of your care instructions. $20 off 1st booking: KATHYV57281 (even if not with me! 🤗) *I am not trained in administering injectable medication. Therefore, I only offer oral and topical med admin; I will never risk your pet’s safety just to make a bit of extra money. Thank you for understanding! 💛 I work 100% remote in SGV, so I’m able to housesit anywhere with a strong internet connection. I love taking midday breaks to come dote on your pets ❤️ Same-day Saturday & Sunday drop in visits available upon request. I’m all about keeping your pets safe and happy. At home, I double-check doors, windows, & all other potential escape routes to prevent escape acts and keep curious pets out of tricky spots. On walks, I use secure gear, avoid hazards like hot pavement or busy areas, and always watch for stress or discomfort. After I take your pet back home, I always do a perimeter scan for toxic flowers, food, and choking hazards to ensure your pet will remain safe even after I leave. If any issues arise, you will be the first to know — I will leave a detailed text, call, and voicemail along with immediately reporting them to Rover.

But Rose was so kind and comforting and confident, and made sure to send us lots of pictures and updates during each of her visits.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - East Pasadena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Pasadena on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,438 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.
