About: I’ve never met a pet I didn’t absolutely love! I have over 15 years of pet care experience, caring for dogs of all ages. I am incredibly thorough, patient, and chronically on-time. For 5+ years, my mom and I found a passion in fostering and adopting senior dogs in the shelters. While caring for dogs of all ages, I have experience calming the most energetic pups, as well as giving dogs medications and insulin injections. I would love to take amazing care of your pets! I am currently job-searching, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I am available Monday-Friday, 8 am - 5 pm. I have a fenced-in yard with a pool (open to doggies who want to play!) and plenty of indoor space for your pet to play and relax. Your pet will ALWAYS be supervised while outside near the pool. I would love to accommodate your pet based on your preferences!

About: As an experienced dog owner, I love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. While I specialize in large breeds and high-energy working dogs who need confident handling and structured exercise, I am equally attentive, gentle, and patient with medium and small dogs. No matter the size, your pup is in safe, capable hands. As a flexible local professional, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I manage my own schedule, I am out and about in the LA area every day, making it easy to accommodate prompt drop-ins and structured walks when you need them most. My routine is highly active, which is perfect for high-energy working breeds that need consistent, timely mid-day exercise to break up their day. At the same time, my flexibility allows me to easily tailor my schedule for smaller or senior dogs who need dedicated, calm potty breaks and attention. Whether you need a regular weekly schedule or occasional check-ins, I build my days around ensuring your pets get consistent, reliable, and on-time care. When caring for your pets, my absolute priority is safety, structural consistency, and clear communication. For Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits: I tailor every visit to your dog's specific size, energy level, and temperament. For large or high-energy breeds, I focus on confident leash handling, maintaining their established training commands, and giving them a robust, engaging workout to burn off steam safely. For medium and smaller dogs, I adjust the pace to ensure a comfortable, stress-free stroll or focused playtime. For House Sitting (In Your Home): I respect your space entirely and keep your dog’s exact home routine intact to prevent any separation anxiety. I ensure they are fed on time, kept on their regular potty schedule, and given plenty of attention. You will receive regular check-ins and high-quality photo updates during every single service so you always have total peace of mind.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have spent the past 11 years with my two dogs, a Pit Bull mix and a Jack Russell Terrier. I’m very experienced with walking, bathing, and caring for dogs, and I consider my own dogs part of my family. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I treat every dog with love, kindness, and respect, just as I would my own. I’m excited to turn my love for dogs into something I can do every day while providing reliable, caring service to your furry family members! I’m currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available throughout the week, except for Mondays, and I’m also available on weekends. I enjoy spending time with dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention. I offer dog walking and pet sitting, but I don’t offer boarding since I have two dogs of my own. In my own home, my two dogs have access to a dog door and a spacious backyard where they can play and enjoy themselves. They’re also welcome to sleep in my room because I love having them close to me. I’m very attentive and affectionate with my dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I would take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and approach them gently so they don’t feel nervous or overwhelmed. I would respect their boundaries, follow the owner’s instructions, and maintain their usual routines. I would also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and love. My goal is to make every dog feel as happy, safe, and loved as they do at home.

About: Hello! I'm Michael Lawrence. As a lifelong animal lover and meticulous planner, I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your furry family members. Whether your dog needs a high-energy power walk to burn off morning zoomies, a gentle stroll, or attentive drop-in visits while you're away, I treat every pet with the exact same care, patience, and affection I give my own. Having my own 80-pound, high-maintenance Pitbull means pet care isn't just a part-time job for me—it's my everyday life. Handling a strong, high-energy dog has taught me the value of structured routines, calm leadership, and proactive leash safety, especially during my dedicated mid-day walking hours from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Whether your pup needs a firm, confident handler for power walks or just a patient buddy to stick to their precise daily routine, I treat every dog with the same level of safety, focus, and dedicated care I give my own. Your home and your pet’s routine are treated with absolute respect. During visits and walks, I strictly follow your entry, security, and alarm procedures to ensure your home remains completely secure. I maintain a clean, organized space, always double-checking that doors, gates, and crates are latched tightly before leaving. For walks, I conduct quick safety checks on collars, harnesses, and leashes, and I always keep dogs on a firm leash with clear spatial awareness to avoid unexpected hazards. You’ll get real-time updates and photos so you know your pet and home are in safe, reliable hands.

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.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. I’ve had the opportunity to raise multiple dog and cat litters ranging from days to weeks old. I’ve been dog sitting for close friends and family for the past five years and have learned to work with shy, older and more energetic dogs. I’m currently available in the evenings from Monday - Thursday starting at 6:00pm. I’m free to sit and dog walk those days and from Friday-Sunday I have more flexibility for potty breaks, walking and stay in home. In my clients home I always pay attention to possible hazards. I keep all doors shut at all times and make sure to provide a clean space for pets at all times. I’m able to set up play pens and dog proof homes.

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 💗🐾

I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She was incredibly caring, attentive, and responsible throughout the entire time. She kept me updated with regular photos and videos, made sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them as her own. As a pet owner, being away from your fur baby can be stressful, but she gave me so much peace of mind. I’m truly grateful for her care and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, thoughtful, and dependable to look after their pets!

Cristina did an amazing job caring for my two kitties while I was on a three week vacation. This was the longest I had been away from my cats so I was worried they would be stressed, but they loved Cristina immediately and were instantly comfortable with her. Cristina even brought new toys to keep them entertained. I had so much peace of mind with Cristina caring for my cats. Cristina was communicating with me the entire time I was away and working with her was a breeze. I will definitely book with her again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - East Pasadena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in East Pasadena is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $40 per visit. On Rover, 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 20,967 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across East Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.

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.
