“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.”
“Nathan and Lisa did an excellent job with the cats and went above and beyond helping us with a potential water leak while we were away. We would definitely recommend them!”
“Brittany was so amazing! She took care of our two cats for 10 days while my roommate and I were out of town. We got daily updates and lots of photos that made us feel so much better leaving the kitties alone.”
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.
“Casey has been very patient with getting to know our anxious rescue dog, she takes the time to learn his routines and sets him up to feel comfortable. They got along right away as Casey has great energy and understands how to communicate well with dogs and read body language.”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have volunteered at humane societies for a few years mainly as a dog kennel ambassador. I also have experience with bigger dogs, puppies, and senior dogs! In fact I have had a yorkie since he was a pup and a childhood dog of 15 years! I have taken care of bigger breeds such as husky/wolf mixes and very small dogs such as chihuahuas. Not only that I also have a cat! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I am a college student and have most days free expect for Tuesday and Thursdays after 12pm. Any other day I’m available so don’t be afraid to book! I only do drop-ins and walks but when I am in someone else’s home I make it a priority to be respectful of your space and make sure nothing is moved around or messed around with.
“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.”
About: Have been working with animals my whole life. Whether it’s dealing with dogs with medical needs or cats. Whether it’s dealing with health issues or active pets I have done it all. Training pets and introducing different pets to each other to administering medications I have done it all Pets are my daily routine. Having dogs and cats has taught me how to mange my time and providing everything my pet needs. From doctor visits to their weekly showers I care for my pets as if they were children. They need constant attention and care. I have a older dog who has poor eyesight and my oldest male has become her walking partner. Working with animals is something I have always felt with and wouldn’t change it for the world
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Crescenta
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.
