“Haley was wonderful taking care of our dog and home. We have already booked her for multiple dates. Bubby was happy so we were happy! She also had no problem giving him his meds.”
“Limari was great w my pups, she was communicative and flexible with my newness to the app in a few years. The pups seems happy and the house looked better than I left it! I'll certainly be using her services in the future”
“As always, Lydia and Chemil are the best of the best. They are communicative and responsive. They take wonderful care of my reactive blue heeler, and are always so sweet to him. They are excellent house sitters as well. 10/10!”
“We traveled out of state for a wedding and Vanessa took wonderful care of our elderly blind dog. She was very detail oriented about our dog's care routine and medicine needs. The constant photo updates made us feel at peace and allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing that Ellie was in great hands. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Jessica did a great job dog sitting for my 3 dogs. She kept their routine the same and made them comfortable while I was gone for a week. I appreciated her frequent updates and pictures.”
“Laura did house-sitting and dog-sitting for me for 10 days and is 100% reliable, dependable and honest. She is an absolute dream to deal with, and follows directions perfectly, and goes above and beyond for her clients, I was impressed and truly grateful. She took care of my house for 10 days, watered my garden (lots of plants!), and took perfect care of my 2 senior dogs. She came twice a day, every day and stayed for hours, was consistent and reliable and didn't miss anything. My dogs loved her and she is very gentle and patient with them. Laura was also very good at sending photos and updates of my dogs every day, which was very appreciated. I highly recommend Laura for any of your pet sitting (or house sitting) needs and will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you Laura!”
“Alexis agreed to watch Roxy and Neo at our home with less than a week to go before our trip. We put in the request and she came for a meet and greet on the same day. She took great care of our babies, giving them lots of love and allowing their routine to stay as close to normal as possible. We were able to relax and really enjoy our holidays with our families knowing she was looking after them. She went above and beyond and left the house nice for us so that we could come home and get straight to resting with our animals. We are so grateful for her and hope she’ll watch Roxy and Neo again! 10/10 would recommend choosing Alexis for your pet sitting needs!”
“Kevin took wonderful care of our dog, Watson, while we were away from June 25 to July 2. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He took Watson on walks to parks and trails, played ball with him using a long leash so he could safely enjoy the feeling of being off leash, followed all of our feeding instructions, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. We always felt connected and knew Watson was in great hands. What impressed us most was how observant Kevin was. Everything he told us about Watson matched his personality perfectly, which reassured us that he was truly paying attention and getting to know him as an individual. It’s clear that Kevin understands dogs, genuinely cares about them, and gives them the love and attention they deserve. We came home to a happy, healthy dog, and that says everything. We highly recommend Kevin and would absolutely trust him with Watson again.”
“Avery has stayed with our chug, Ernie, several times—she's amazing and I can't recommend her enough! She's great with Big Ern and expertly handles him and his dog reactivity while out on walks. She sends regular updates and pictures, is punctual and responsive, and is always respectful of our home and our neighbors. You never have to worry with Avery at the helm!”
“First time having a new sitter take care of my pups in a very long time and we got so lucky with Kathleen! She took great care of both my dogs, administered meds, and provided regular updates that helped me also enjoy my time off. Absolutely recommend!”
“Nataly helped us out at the last minute and was wonderful with the dogs! She is a great communicator and sent us multiple photos throughout her stay, house was very clean and dogs were napping when we came home. We hope she'll be able to help us out again in the future. Thanks Nataly!”
“First time we used Emily. She took care of our German Shepherd and Cat. Both were well taken care of, communication was great and Emily was very patient getting instructions and updates from us. We will hire her again.”
“Highly recommend Krista. She sent photos and updates throughout the day. She is very responsive and answered all my messages thoughtfully. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We will for sure call her back :)”
“we had Celest housesit with our slightly anxious and shy pup, Nebula and would gladly have her back with us! Celest was communicative from the first meet and greet to the day of the sit. we received photos and updates. when we got home, it was clear that Nebula had gotten very comfortable and cozy despite her initial apprehension. i really appreciated Celest’s gentle, patient demeanor with Nebula 🥹💛 thank you!!”
About: Patient, detail-oriented producer keeping pups on schedule with meds, potty breaks, and daily updates. Trusted for sick dog care and vet runs. I make detailed spreadsheets for dog medicine tracking. I work remotely from home and set my own schedule, so I’m free to step out for walks or stay overnight wherever my iPhone goes. Pets aren’t allowed in my place, which is exactly why I love giving back to the pet community. I always follow the owner’s rules and listen closely to their needs for their dog’s care.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for over 5 years, including seniors, shy rescues, and energetic kittens. I’ve helped foster and rehome multiple cats, and currently care for three of my own. Friends and neighbors often rely on me to feed, clean, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m gentle, attentive, and love learning each animal’s unique personality. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and every interaction with animals feels incredibly healing and meaningful to me. I wish I could welcome even more animals into my life, but since I can’t right now, I treat every pet I care for like family whether they live in my home or yours. Pet care is already part of my daily life. I have three cats at home, including one I'm currently fostering. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and love being around them as much as possible. I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with lots of love and patience. I'm especially experienced with shy or anxious cats and dogs, and I make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. My own pets are well socialized, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions you have.
“Daniel was very professional and polite and calm under pressure. My cutie pie greets people with a big and loud bark. It's just his way. Daniel didn't even flinch. He stood by while we got Mark calm. He took Mark for a walk and kept him great company.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so ill make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos, messages, and details about how their pet is doing. Taking the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like a member of my own family. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care every visit. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. As a soccer player, I stay active and enjoy going on runs, long walks, and spending time outdoors, which allows me to provide plenty of exercise and engagement for pets in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate extra time and attention to each pet throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. Carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, any medication instructions, and any specific preferences provided by the owner.
About: I am now a pet groomer. In my daily work, I can come into contact with various dogs. I know their personality traits and things to pay attention to. Every dog is unique. We must understand and love him. Master basic dog training techniques. The safety of your dog comes first at all times I work as a groomer three to four days a week and am available to take care of dogs in my free time, especially on weekends and evenings. I can spend time with your dog and offer grooming and care advice. Safety and compassion are my top priorities. Please rest assured that leaving your dog with me will keep her active and happy. When we visit dogs at home, we will communicate with the dog owners in advance, play with the dog in a designated area, and play games with the dog according to its preferences to keep the dog active and healthy.

Alexis is fantastic! My dog can be scared of new people, and Alexis was respectful of this and made her feel comfortable very quickly. She sent plenty of updates and also took super good care of my house while I was gone. Will definitely be asking Alexis to hang with my puppy again!
Shelby obviously has a ton of experience taking great care of both cats and dogs. She made herself available within 3 days notice and was very knowledgeable, kind and caring. She even sent me photos of my fur babies during the day. I highly recommend Shelby for dog walks and pet sitting. I will definitely tap on her again.
I am beyond lucky that I found Annabelle to help with my pup! We just relocated from Seattle and have had a hard time finding someone my dog loves. My dog is a bit reactive on leash and requires oral medication twice daily. Annabelle took on the job and followed instructions beyond my expectations. My pup was so relaxed when I got back from my trip, so I know he was well taken care of and at ease while I was away! I would 100% recommend Annabelle and will be using her regularly.
Jess makes traveling so much easier for us because we know our boys are home, happy, and loved. They're so excited to see her that they barely notice we're leaving, and when we get home, they're like, "were you gone?" which is exactly what I want - doggos who get to continue enjoying their normal lives even when we're not here. I'm so grateful to Jess for caring for them and sending us pics of them lounging in their usual spots. We look forward to booking her again in the future and would easily recommend her services to anyone else who needs someone loving and responsible to care for their fur babies while they're gone.
Kevin was absolutely amazing. I have multiple animals, and each one has their own personality, routines, and individual needs, so finding someone I genuinely trust with all of them isn't easy. Kevin was incredibly compassionate, patient, and attentive with every single one of them. I could tell he really took the time to understand each animal rather than just going through the motions of feeding and caring for them. He was also extremely respectful of my home and left everything clean and well cared for. Communication was great, he was dependable, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my animals and my home were in his hands while I was away. That peace of mind is honestly priceless when you have animals who require a little extra care and attention. It's very clear that Kevin genuinely cares about animals and takes the responsibility of caring for someone else's pets and home seriously. I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and a home that had been treated with respect. I wouldn't hesitate to have him stay again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible house and pet sitter.
I highly recommend Chris. She came in fur the meet and greet and sat right on the floor. Bob is the most shy of the 3, but he came out to see what was going on. During the stay Bob needed meds and she more than willing to try anything. She couldn't pick him up, cause they just met so it to be crushed and hidden in his food. When I returned I couldn't even tell she had been here. Fabulous!
This is long overdue, but Rebecca was an absolute pro in every way, from meeting Chadwick for a few minutes before watching over him and sending pictures. She told me Chad took to her right after we left for a night out, and he was a happy buddy when we got home. Top marks.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred East Pasadena walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in East Pasadena maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East Pasadena choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
