“Frances took care of our dog, Kepler, during the day while we were out of town. We live in the same neighborhood, so Kepler is already familiar with Frances and will happily greet her on his walks. Frances sent us lots of photos and video of him having fun playing with other dogs at the park. He was really happy when he came home and immediately took a nap. :D We highly recommend Frances if you are looking for someone to look after your dog for the day. Thank you so much!”
“Freddie was so stoked! He got lots of play time with his new bff Henri and was very well taken care of. Will definitely book with Michael again. Truly felt like Freddie was with family.”
“Yoko provided daytime dog sitting at her apartment for two consecutive weeks. Our small dog quickly bonded with Yoko and made clear she looked forward to her daily visits. Yoko is highly conscientious, warm, and easy to work with. We look forward to booking additional time with her for our dog.”
“Amanda was GREAT! From start to finish, she helped my anxious dog feel so comfortable. She was both Kind & Excellent at communicating! Would definitely recommend & book again(:”
“Our initial rover canceled on us at the last minute and Jessica came through. Her communication was great and our dog loved her. We'll be repeat customers if we're in need of a rover in her area again!”
About: When you choose me as your sitter, you can trust that your companion will be treated like family. I grew up with 5 dogs, and I love to spend time dog sitting now that I live on my own. I've watched and walked dogs throughout my entire lifetime, and my goal is to always provide your pet with experienced and loving care! I am excited to meet new pets and give their parents comfort in the fact that they will be well taken care of. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and am willing to help with training, whenever needed. I go on walks often, and would love to have your dog along for the trip. I love animals and would love to be given the opportunity to care of yours! Pet care is super important to me! I start off every morning with a good long dog walk before it gets too hot here in LA, and then I make sure to do 2-3 more walks throughout the day. I currently work from home and I love dog snuggles. I offer all services, so it truly depends on what you book with me! I can guarantee a loving experience for your dog (as I know I will love and care for them just as much as you do!)
“I needed a dog sitter on very short notice, and I’m so glad I found Angelica! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we connected. Both of my dogs took to her right away, and when I picked them up, they kept going back to her to be pet and attention, that says it all! It's clear Angelica has a genuine love for animals and a special way with them. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Carmen is the best! My dog seemed so happy with her (and she takes the best photos)! She was kind, attentive, prompt, and seemed to truly care about my baby! She’s the ideal dog whisperer; I cannot recommend Carmen enough!”
“Tremendous care and play for my supercharged rott. year old- she was even worn out the next day, which I've never seen. Great communication throughout- highly recommended.”
“Catherine and Albert took such great care of Cooper! They made him feel right at home from the minute he got there and treated him like family! They did so much to make him feel comfortable and get his energy out (he’s a high energy cocker spaniel). It’s so hard to find people that you know will care about your dog as much as you do but it’s so obvious that they genuinely love dogs. As somebody who is very nervous leaving their dog, I feel so confident that Cooper is comfortable and safe with them.”
“Namie was so great with my Coco, who warmed up to her right away. Coco usually takes a while to get comfortable with new people, but it was clear as soon as she saw Namie that she not only felt comfortable but happy to see her. I especially appreciated all the photo updates I got throughout her stay. Thank you, Namie! :)”
About: I’ve been an animal person since I was 7. In our house there always been some cat who fully believed it owned the house and graciously allowed us to live in it. 4 years ago life upgraded me to the world of dogs when I started dating a guy with a big rescue pup. My Watson taught me the true meaning of loyalty, peeing a little in joy, and strategic snack theft. I’m also a registered Pasadena Humane volunteer, so your pet gets someone who knows how to handle shy pups, energetic zoomers, cuddle lovers, senior sweethearts, and every personality in between. I take safety seriously and affection even more seriously. If your dog likes people who speak fluent “treat,” “walk,” and “butt scratch,” we’ll be a great match. My job is remote with a flexible schedule that allows me to take care of my 7 yo son and your furry kids. I am almost always available to take your pet home and have a lot of possibilities to visit them in your house. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in the green and safe neighborhood of Pasadena. I have a fenced balcony for the fresh air and very cozy, walkable surroundings.
About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, naps, and bedtime. I always mark as unavailable any days I have travel or major time commitments that will keep me away from home for more than an hour or two, so they will have constant care while they're here. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced backyard full of fruit trees. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress. I have a doggy door for dogs who prefer to let themselves in/out at their leisure. I converted our detached 2 car garage into a recording studio, where I work, so we have the quietest place in town in the event we have to make it through fireworks or if your pet prefers quiet or isolation. Both the house and studio have their own separate HVAC systems, so they'll definitely stay comfortable. I have always slept with my own dogs, so happy to co-sleep with yours if that's what they're used to, but also glad to maintain whatever rules you generally set for them in regard to being on beds/furniture.
“Our dog loves Taky and had a wonderful time spending the day with him! Taky sent pictures throughout the day and took Cooper for walks. He even gave us some very helpful tips on how to address some of Cooper's problem behaviors, like pulling on the leash during walks. It is so reassuring to know a sitter who is so great with dogs and super attentive. Thanks, Taky!”
“Kiyomi was amazing with our dog. She took him for many walks, accommodated his medication schedule, played with him, fed him, and took really good care of our pup. I am so grateful we were able to find her and we will continue to use her dog sitting services! She also took so many cute pictures and it seemed like they had a wonderful day together.”
About: Hi there! I have long loved being a dog mom and thought to start sitting to give myself and my own dog some extra company and fun times. I can usually take up to two additional dogs to my own. If I am able to sit for your dog, I will be working from home. However, I am not available everyday. This is why I recommend planning in advance for my availability. I have a single family home with a fenced in dog run and patio for them to play in. They are free to be in the house and not be restricted in movements. However, I do not let pets on the furniture or beds. However doggy beds are available.
About: I don’t just watch dogs—I connect with them. Whether it’s an energetic pup needing training, a senior dog requiring gentle care, or a nervous rescue who needs patience, I adapt to their needs. I have experience with leash training, basic commands, medication administration, and, most importantly, making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Your pup isn’t just getting a sitter—they’re getting a new best friend! As a freelance film editor working from home, I have the flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddle time, I easily integrate pet care into my routine. My work allows me to be present, ensuring your pet gets consistent care, companionship, and plenty of love! Whether in my apartment or your home, I ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. In my apartment, your pet will enjoy cozy spots, plenty of playtime, and regular walks around the neighborhood. When caring for pets in their own homes, I stick to their routine, giving them the love and attention they need while respecting their environment. I’m committed to making sure they feel secure and happy no matter where they are!

Helen was great for doggy day care. Kept me updated and made me feel at ease after leaving my dog Goose with her during the day. Took him on three walks and he came back home ready to eat dinner and nap! Sent updated photos and all! 10/10 would recommend booking again with her.
Kiran was a huge help during our vacation in california. We booked a daycare for our dog Leo. During the day care hours kiran kept us updated on leo and sent lots of pictures. Because of her we had a peace of mind and were able to attend the concert. She was super helpful when we were running late in picking Leo. Definitely going to book her again. :)
Janice was wonderful and Ozzy loved it there. He didn’t even want to leave when I picked him up!!! I think any dog would be good here - they have a large house with kids that love dogs and a backyard, but especially if your dog is human oriented. There are so many laps to choose from!
Namie was so great with my Coco, who warmed up to her right away. Coco usually takes a while to get comfortable with new people, but it was clear as soon as she saw Namie that she not only felt comfortable but happy to see her. I especially appreciated all the photo updates I got throughout her stay. Thank you, Namie! :)
Kyle and Jennifer took great care of our 10 week old puppy! They were super accommodating of a last minute request and all of the care that goes into caring for a young puppy. They sent lots of cute pics of Marti through the day and she seemed to really enjoy their company. Would highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Pasadena on Rover is $42.8 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Pasadena commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 8,417 sitters in Pasadena, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
