About: I've cared for cats and dogs my whole life and currently have two cats of my own. For years I've been the go-to sitter for family, friends, and co-workers, who trust me with everything from feeding and walks to medication and senior pet care. I send photo updates, stick to your pet's routine, and treat your pets like my own. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible and I can easily work around your travel plans. Plus, I have lots of time, energy, and love to give your furry friends. I'm cautious, meticulous, and follow instructions to a T. I triple-check doors and windows, keep your vet's info handy, and stick to your pet's feeding and medication schedule. Their safety and happiness are my number one priority.

About: I've had dogs all my life and have always had a household full. My home is very dog friendly where they can come in and out of the house through a pet door to a big back yard and they basically have the run of the house. I treat them like family (I have 2 small dogs of my own). I've been taking care of the same dogs on and off since 2010 and the owner absolutely loves the care I give her two Schnauzers. I volunteered at the local humane society for six years before becoming a pet sitter. When in my care, dog owners need not worry about anything. They are in a home environment and get the loving care they are accustom to. I am assisted by my husband and adult son who lives with us in caring for the dogs. Dogs in my care make themselves at home very quickly. If a dog needs special care/treatment that is not a problem. I have experience in administering medication, injections and am a great teeth brusher! Most of all, the dogs in my care get the same love my own dogs get and they can sense this very quickly. I am very fortunate to live walking distance to a state-of-the-art dog park where dogs can run and play freely in a safe environment. I'm retired so I have a lot of time so being a dog sitter is ideal for my lifestyle. My canine guests have the run of the house as do my own dogs. I treat my canine guests life family. I sleep in the same room with them and am with them all the time since I'm retired.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting for just as long, so caring for someone else's dog feels completely natural to me. I live in Sierra Madre with a private, fenced yard where your pup can run around safely, whether that's for a full boarding stay or a fun day of daycare. I treat every dog I watch like my own: plenty of attention, playtime, and a comfortable, secure space to relax. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand and keep you updated with photos and check-ins while they're with me. If you're looking for a safe, loving home away from home for your dog, I'd love to help. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I'm home throughout the day, every day. That means your dog gets consistent attention, regular potty breaks and playtime, and never has to be left alone for long stretches. Caring for a dog fits naturally into my daily routine alongside caring for my family, so it's never rushed or squeezed in, it's just part of how my days already go. For boarding, your dog stays with me in my home in Sierra Madre, one of the safest towns in the LA area, with full access to my private, fenced yard for play and potty breaks throughout the day. I stick closely to their regular feeding and walk schedule so their routine doesn't feel disrupted, and I focus on real attention and affection, not just supervision. Daycare works the same way during the day: safe yard time, play, and company so your dog is never left alone or bored. I treat every dog in my care like my own, and I'm happy to send photo updates so you can see how they're doing.

“Stephanie was great! She took the time to do a pre-meet up with me several days beforehand so she could meet Simon and learn about his schedule and needs. The day of she was prompt and sent me updates during Simon's time with her, including a cute photo. I felt very confident that Stephanie gave Simon great care and I plan to work with her again in the future.”

“Wouldn’t recommend or trust anyone else but Diana to watch our fur babies! They can both be a little high maintenance in their own ways and Diana went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for while we were away. She communicated frequently and sent cute photos! We’re thankful to Diana and can’t wait her to book her next time we need assistance for Eazy & Onyx!”

About: I offer dedicated, private boarding in Pasadena with a strict one-family-at-a-time policy. Your dog will receive personalized, high-attention care in a calm home environment, without ever having to compete with pets from multiple unfamiliar households. I have loved and cared for dogs since I was 6 years old. I also spent three years volunteering with the Walk Me Home Rescue group(as a volunteer and foster parent)—walking, socializing, and supporting rescue dogs across a wide range of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. What You & Your Pup Can Expect: Attentive Supervision & 1-on-1 Focus: With my flexible schedule, your dog will never be left alone for long and will enjoy continuous attention, companionship, and customized routines. Friendly Playmate or Private Retreat: My sweet 5-year-old Border Collie loves having friends over to play. If your pup prefers quiet solo time, I can easily provide a separate, comfortable resting area alongside private walks and yard time. Secure Backyard Play: Supervised outdoor playtime, fresh air, and safe exercise in our secure yard. Daily Peace of Mind: High-quality daily photo and video updates showing meals, walks, and playtime so you always stay connected. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a social butterfly, or a senior who loves a peaceful routine, I treat every furry guest like my own. Feel free to message me with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your pup at a Meet & Greet! I work part-time and am home for the vast majority of the day, giving me plenty of flexible time to give your pet constant attention and supervision. Our household has a fun, active routine: we let the dogs out into our yard every 2 to 3 hours for playtime, fetch, and frisbee. In addition to yard play, I take them on 1 to 2 dedicated neighborhood walks every day to ensure they get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Your pup will be welcomed into a warm, pet-loving home where they are treated like family. Alongside my own friendly dog, I have a 14-year-old brother, who is passionate about animals and loves keeping pets company with calm companionship and playtime. We prioritize safety and comfort above all. Our home has a secure yard for safe outdoor fun, and pets are never left unattended during activities. Whether your dog thrives on interactive play or prefers a cozy, quiet spot to relax, we tailor our routine to their unique personality and keep you updated with regular photos and message.

About: I love dogs! They have been a part of my life for more than 22 years. I have had the pleasure of raising our family dogs to my own set of fur babies. Life is more enjoyable with pets! As a pet parent, I know how challenging it can be to find someone to care for your pups, since no one loves them like you do. Let me help take some of the stress out of pet care. I provide convenient, reliable, and safe dog walking/boarding services.  I have experience helping with crate and potty training, administering medication, and rubbing bellies. From pups to senior dogs, I tailor my care to their needs. All breeds are welcomed for walking services and pet sitting; small to medium breeds are welcomed for boarding.  Look forward to hearing from you! I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule when it comes to pet care. I can provide morning, afternoon and evening walks as needed. I am able to board dogs any day of the week and can provide house sitting services with advance notice. I have two dogs at home who are playful and friendly, and a cat that knows she is the queen of her domain. My dogs are crate trained and have access to the house whenever my wife or I are home. Your dogs can expect to have a safe environment, companionship, with regular walks. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood, a short drive from a very nice dog park.

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: 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.

About: I have had multiple dogs for 30 thirty years and seen them from eight weeks old until their last breath. My dogs get an outing every day, in addition to a neighborhood leash walk. Your dog will love our forays into nature and their special afternoon sniff-walks. I prefer to have a meet&greet prior to boarding. We have a fully fenced yard and a dog door. I take the dogs on a nature hike each morning. The dogs and I visit the trails in Pasadena and La Canada. Breakfast is post-hike and is followed by sunbathing or lounging. Often, there is un-scheduled barking at the mail carrier. Each evening, we go around the our block, allowing for lots of sniffs at the most frequented dog message boards. Dinner is followed by more lounging. Grooming (nail trims and baths) occur as needed. Our property is fully fenced and there is a dog door leading to the back yard. If our visitor is not familiar with dog door usage, that's ok. I am available for frequent potty trips to the backyard. However, uninitiated dogs are usually eager to learn the ways of the dog door and we provide gentle encouragement. It's really quite fun to watch a dog learn the feeling of freedom provided by a dog door. I am also experienced giving (or applying) medication and with special diets. Senior dogs are welcome. I understand the slower-but-still-high-quality-of-life needs of an older pet.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kinneloa Mesa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kinneloa Mesa is $34 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $44 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 20,451 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kinneloa Mesa. 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 Kinneloa Mesa. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
