“Ru went above and beyond to care for our four cats. She made sure that they were fed, their litter cleaned, and that they had some play time. My most antisocial cat even came out of the closet to play with Ru!”
“Tomoko was a great pet sitter for my senior cat. She is very kind, generous, and accommodating, and my cat was genuinely cared for while i was away. She sent very detailed updates and took great pictures. I felt so safe that my cat was in her capable hands and I will gladly book her services again next time.”
About: Welcome to Sung & So Pet Care! Our family, including our beloved Cocker Spaniel Sunny, provides a cage-free, loving home for dogs. With over 4 years of experience caring for various breeds, we follow each dog’s routine closely and ensure every pet gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, just like Sunny enjoys every day. I stay at home every day, making food and taking care of the dogs. My husband goes to work every day and my son goes to school in the morning and goes home to do other activities. On his free time, he usually plays games or plays with the dogs. I care for pets in a safe, calm, and loving environment where they are treated like family. In my home, dogs stay in a cage-free space and are supervised throughout the day. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I also reinforce basic manners and leash etiquette during walks. Upon request, I provide homemade meals or treats once a day in addition to their regular food, and for long-term stays, I offer bathing services. To ensure a healthy environment, all pets must be up to date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered, and on regular flea prevention. I require advance booking and strongly recommend a meet-and-greet visit before care begins so pets can feel comfortable and adjust well. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always safety, consistency, and giving each pet the same love and attention I give my own. 🐶💛
About: *** ALL Time Slots are now filled. Thank you to all who checked in*** I will reActive when slots become available! *please leave a text msg either through Rovers messenger or cell phone text so there is a written conversation for both parties to reference* ** ** Residential walks are 20/hr hikes are 35. Those with a higher energy level I do hikes with but that is all based on the client's age, agility and their leash training. For 1 dog per Hike is $35 With new clients I like to have a "meet and greet" at their pickup location before walking services begin. That way I am not a "stranger" to them for pick up on our first hike and get to learn a bit about their behavior. Hikes involve water breaks as needed but usually at halfway point and at the end of the hike with a paw check. Hikes and residential walks are tracked via gps app which you will get a screen shot of so you know where we went, the distance and time. For hikes I also film for short session videos usually about 35-45 second videos that I send via text message. Treats are optional. I use Hebrew national hot dogs; which are cut into small circles and those circles get cut into 4. So two small circles turn into 8 nibble size treats. If you have preferred treats that you currently use I will use those, or if you don't want any treats used thats ok too. For a 1 hour residential walk is $20 per dog. Usually no water breaks but depending on the weather there may be a halfway point water break. I also film parts of the residential walk and will send a short 30-40 second video via text message. I only do hikes and walks Monday, Wednesday,Friday. I currently have a 7AM slot open Monday, Wednesday and Friday available. **ONLY 7AM slot available** I have to pick up my son from school so I only walk dogs during the morning hours. I take care of my dogs at home. One is a senior that takes an oral medication twice a day. Sorry I don't do boarding.
“Casey is a great help with our special needs rescue dog. He has some quirks and it takes time to get to know him, Casey has been great at being patient and understanding about his needs, and they are becoming friends. We appreciate Casey and look forward to her visiting Sterling more”
“Alisa is a very attentive and caring sitter with a great connection to animals. She and Rocky found a common language right away, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy with her. Alisa is easy to communicate with, responsive, and very accurate and thoughtful. I felt confident leaving Rocky in her care and would happily book with her again.”
“Melissa did a great job of taking care of my cats during my extended vacation. She communicated and sent me pictures everyday leaving me at ease. I would definitely recommend her!”
“What a thoughtful and responsible caretaker! Larissa kindly fed and played with my 3 cats, including a pretty crazy panther-kitten; I felt like they were in great hands, she followed my instructions to a tee, and even the shy cat came out to play with her. Hope to be able to book her services for my future trips away!”
About: As you can see in my photos, I am a HUGE animal lover. I have my dog, who I cherish more than anything on this earth, and had four pet rats(rest in peace). I have experience with cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, and a variety of different animals. I work with many different animal rescues & volunteer/donate regularly to help out as much as I can-I believe it is what I was born for. However, dogs have by far completely stolen my heart. I’ve owned dogs my entire life since I was a little girl and have only worked at dog grooming shops & stores. I have experience with dogs up to 150 pounds, I do not discriminate towards any dog, regardless of size or breed. I love them all. I love to surround myself with dogs, I think they are too pure for this world :+) It is a firm belief of mine that no client should ever have to worry about the care of their dogs while under a sitter’s watch, and I guarantee a wonderful, worry-free experience. I am currently unemployed and do not attend school, so I am available for 24/7 care if needed! I have my own pup to take care of, but my family takes care of her while i’m away :•) I know how to handle dogs very well & have lots of experience with dog trainers. As I can not bring any pets inside my own home, I can take all necessary precautions to make sure your pet is loved and cared for as if he/she were mine.
“Jane is super top notch!!! I can’t recommend her enough. It can be a little nerve-wracking to be out of the country for over a week, however my mind was at ease regarding my pets and my home. Jane was very consistent with her high-quality care and communication, with regular updates that didn’t leave anything up to assumption. I always knew what was getting done, with any questions or concerns being quickly addressed. Jane spent extra time playing with our 4-month old kitten who was alone at home for the first time. The amount of thought and care she put in was extremely evident and appreciated. Her demeanor was always calm, easy-going, friendly, and to-the-point. She went above and beyond. Don’t think twice about hiring Jane to keep your loved ones happy and safe!”
About: My first pet sitting job was feeding my neighbor's cat when I was about 10 years old and since then it's always been a go-to "of course I'd be happy to!" offer to neighbors and friends. I've worked informally for friends and family for many years and with a professional service in Colorado for several years. I'm an artist and creative business owner working from home so I have a lot of flexibility. I enjoy going on walks around the neighborhood and adding a purpose to those walks to visit with or accompany your pet outside delights me! At your home, I'm happy to follow your detailed instructions and provide the care you need for your animals (as well as plants) while you're away.
“Aksana was amazing, our dogs were loved, and seemed very happy. She followed instructions and we are super grateful so was able to come last minute. We look forward to hiring her again ✨.”
“Caroline is wonderful! My cat is very shy and hides from everyone. But Caroline really connected with my cat, and I have photos of kitty cuddles and playtime everyday that I’ve only ever witnessed with me. Will definitely hire her again.”
About: Hello, my name is Charlie! I have been a dog owner for 13+ years and recently said goodbye to my best friend. I have missed having a dog around and started pet sitting for friends and family and absolutely loved it. I have a house in Glendale with a fenced in backyard in a very safe neighborhood. So whether it's a day time visit or a fortnight stay, I have exactly what you need. My top priority is SAFETY and I will watch your dog like a hawk while they are with me. I know the hardest part of travel is leaving your pet with a stranger so I strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable. I am a part time actor and have a very open schedule so your pet will never be alone for long periods of time. I love to cuddle on the couch, take walks around the neighborhood or play in the yard. Please let me know if you have any questions for concerns, thanks! I am a part time actor so I have a lot of free time waiting around for auditions haha! I typically spend some time at the gym but otherwise I am home all day and available for your pets! I have a fenced-in backyard in a very safe, walkable, neighborhood. My top priority is safety and I promise to keep a close eye on your dog especially when outdoors. I have no other pets in the home so they will get all my focus and attention and I do not invite others over while your pets are here, so there will absolutely be no strangers around them. Happy to accommodate any special requests (medications, vet visits, feeding requirements, necessary lullabies lol)
“Isabel did a great job caring for our two dogs. She was communicative and flexible. Our dogs quickly got along with her and trusted her. Looking forward to enlisting her services again.”

Tomoko was wonderful! She took great care of my cat for two weeks and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cat was happy and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciated her kindness and attention, and I would definitely book her again. Highly recommend!
I was so impressed with Michelle and Liz. They played with my (very active) cat and I was never worrried for a moment. I felt like my cat was being taken care of by a friend. This was the first time I left my cat alone with ANYONE and I was very nervous about how she would do but I got pictures of her cuddling and playing with Michelle and Liz and I felt so relieved every day. I would definitely use them again. They were a godsend.
Barbara is the best sitter! She takes care of my cat Lancelot every time we travel. She gives him a lot of love and affection, and will go far and beyond to take care of unexpected things that happen when you travel (like plumbing issues). Thank you, Barbara!
We’re so thankful we found Maria to care for Odin and Loki. She was on time, kept us in the loop, and the boys were clearly happy and relaxed with her. From the first meeting, it was obvious she had a natural way with dogs, and we felt comfortable. She stayed responsive to our questions and made the whole experience stress-free. Truly grateful for her help — we’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her!
What a thoughtful and responsible caretaker! Larissa kindly fed and played with my 3 cats, including a pretty crazy panther-kitten; I felt like they were in great hands, she followed my instructions to a tee, and even the shy cat came out to play with her. Hope to be able to book her services for my future trips away!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in La Crescenta is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $36 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 October 2026, there are 19,040 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across La Crescenta. 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 .
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 , 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 La Crescenta. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
