“Kevin was super easy to communicate with and stayed in touch while I was out of town. He was extremely responsible and took great care of my special needs dogs. I’ll definitely re-hire Kevin!”
“We've gone with Vanessa to house-sit our Jack Russell Terrier, Maddie multiple times now and she's the best! She's quick to respond to texts and always leaves the place neat and clean. She also sends us texts and pictures of Maddie while we're gone which we love. Knowing Maddie is with Vanessa while we're gone makes our trips 100 times more enjoyable. She's awesome!”
“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 :)”
“My cats Jake & Elwood were happy and content when we got home. I can tell they were well taken care of because they came right out to greet us as if we hadn't been gone. Thank you Sonia, ?”
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.
“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!”
“Katherine is the best dog sitter, and trust me, it is better than you could have dreamt up. The communication is through, the rules are followed to a T, my apartment was better than I left it (sorry) and my dog was ecstatic to be with her. I will be booking Katherine as much as she can handle due to my work travel. Very appreciative dog dad!”
“Rique watched our three pups (one of whom is special needs) for 4days/3 nights. He was super responsive and great at sending updates. In addition to watching the pups, he remade our bed with fresh sheets (!) and left the house clean--a feat considering that our pups are on the larger side of medium (~50-80 lbs) and energetic. We will be using Rique whenever we have petsitting needs and highly recommend him.”
“Amanda was so great! She updated me with pictures and updates all weekend. Our dog is a senior and has some health issues and we don’t like to leave her with just anyone. We will definitely rebook with Amanda! 😊”
“The proof of Victoria's greatness is that our dogs are normal and happy, both in the pics she sends us and when we return home. We know they're getting everything they need when she's watching them. It makes leaving home so much easier.”
“Rebecca took amazing care of our fur babies during our weekend trip. She is very attentive, and communicated with me throughout house sitting in our apartment. Thank you and will definitely be booking again!”
“My two small dogs can be really difficult with new people, but Trevor was very patient and gentle with them. He was communicative throughout his stay at our house, sending lots of pics and updates, and took great care of our pups. House was also very clean and neat when we got back from our trip!”
“Tamar was fantastic with my four-year-old husky. She has a husky herself so she understood the nuances.She was very attentive and stayed for long periods of time. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. The communication is superb and follow up was really appreciated. Tamar was very respectful of my house, I definitely recommend using Tamar for housesitting.”
“Chris was absolutely amazing! She house sat and dog sat our 2 little dogs for two weeks and within that time she quickly developed a wonderful relationship with the dogs. She sent daily updates and photos, and her comments were always thoughtful and gave us great peace of mind. Chris really does care about the animals she looks after! she was a wonderful house guest, and everything was clean and tidy when we returned home. We will definitely use Chris again!!”
About: As a long time familiar with energetic dogs that need both physical activity and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. I go on daily hour long strolls each evening with him as well as morning walks with play sessions scattered throughout the day. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've regularly helped friends and watch their dogs while they're away. This has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's taking them on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, providing companionship, or making sure they feel comfortable in a new environment, I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique needs and personality! When caring for your dog, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. Whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, or simply providing companionship and attention. Since I've also used dog sitting apps before for when I needed to travel abroad, I understand how important it is to keep you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I'm currently in-between jobs, so I'll have plenty of time to spend the day with your pups! This also means my current schedule is very flexible to fit around your dogs routine and needs. I have a fenced backyard with a friendly 4 year old Samoyed in a very walk-able neighborhood. I have a dog bed is most rooms around the house so they can pick and choose wherever they wish to lounge.
“Lydia and Chemil took great care of our two dalmatians. They sent daily photos and were available for communication with very little delay (even though we were in a different time zone). They also housesat and everything was in perfect order when we returned. I would recommend them for pet and housesitting.”

Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just wants someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience administering oral medication, as my own cat is currently taking medication, so I’m comfortable following medication schedules and special care instructions.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Pasadena
Laura is amazing. We have a very smart and stubborn corgi, and she stayed with him for nearly 10 days. She sent us regular photos and kept us very updated. He was very happy and extremely well taken care of. We cannot say enough good things about Laura. We would recommend her extremely highly.
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.
Katherine went truly above and beyond caring for both my home and my girls. I received thoughtful updates throughout the stay, and it was obvious how much love, attention, and care she gave them. I came home to a peaceful, beautifully cared for space and felt so supported during a stressful time in my life. She is genuinely one of a kind, and I cannot recommend her enough. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again.
Neysa stayed with our two dogs and skittish cat. They were able to totally win over all our fur crew. Their excellent care meant that we could enjoy our vacation without concern for our family left behind. We will definitely be calling on Neysa again! They are amazing!!
Tamar was fantastic with my four-year-old husky. She has a husky herself so she understood the nuances.She was very attentive and stayed for long periods of time. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. The communication is superb and follow up was really appreciated. Tamar was very respectful of my house, I definitely recommend using Tamar for housesitting.
another wonderful housesit with Celest! we needed someone to housesit for us on the afternoon and evening of our wedding reception and thankfully, Celest was able to! she was on time, responsive, and forth coming in all her communications with us and sent photos throughout the night. she has such great calm energy that Nebula really responds to. we returned home to a very happy dog and tidy house. we appreciate you, Celest! thanks again!
Was our first time using Chloe and she stayed 4 days with our fur baby! We were so happy with her and she spoiled him with daily walks, cuddles and playtime! She sent pictures of him and he always looked so happy with her. She went beyond what we asked and came home to a happy boy and a clean house. ( which wasn’t expected)

FAQs for House Sitting - East Pasadena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Pasadena on Rover is $72.76 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 15,246 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Pasadena. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
