“Lily and Raoul are such fantastic care takers! I received great pictures and stories of Nyra playing with their dogs, which always makes me so happy to hear. She had a great time and I could tell she didn’t want to leave by the end of it. They followed feeding instructions and were great with communication! I would highly recommend Lily and Raoul to take care of your dogs if you have the opportunity!”
“Our dog had a great time with Alicia and immediately felt comfortable and at ease. I could tell he really enjoyed his time there and was relaxed when I picked him up! Alicia went above and beyond to communicate with me and send photos so I knew exactly how my pup was doing! Thank you so much Alicia and I will definitely be back! 😊”
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.
“Angelica and her family we're great. My dog Kepler is not easy to deal with and they had him for 4 days! He had a great time and always got excited when dropping off. They have a huge backyard and nice kids that played with Kepler! Definitely would book again.”
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!
“the sweetest and most accommodating to both Kuzco’s high maintenance needs and my hectic schedules. always sending me the best pics and videos, and Kuzco is always so happy to go back. thank u guys again :)”
“Bella had a great time at Tatiana’s house! She got to play with new friends in the first yard she’s ever been in. My high energy pup who can play forever is extra tired now. Thanks!”
“Taky went above and beyond my expectations. He sent me pictures and videos of Finley all day long. He worked on having him learn to sit, lay down, and worked on having him walk side by side. Finley and I have some separation anxiety and he spent extra time getting both of us comfortable parting. I’m so glad that Finley got to spend the day with Taky!”
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.
“SO great! Karah is amazing with my super high energy lab puppy. So considerate and made sure to follow his schedule. He came home so happy and slept so well. We will be back, highly recommend!”
“Kiran was a wonderful dog sitter for my dog Smidgen. She was super warm and communicative and sent pictures throughout the day. I don’t always trust so easily when it comes to Smidgen, but Kiran made me feel totally comfortable and like Smidgen would be in great hands. At our meet and greet, she asked a lot of questions and took into account what would help make Smidgen feel comfortable and safe. I know Smidgen had a great time hanging out with her and her pup and I will absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”
“You know it’s a good sign when your dog is so happy to see a sitter that they don’t even look back when they go inside. We always feel happy and at ease dropping our Ruby off with Cathy and Andres!”
“This was Willow’s first time staying with anyone other than us, and she did amazing! Miguel and Camila handled her with care and really respected her space, letting her explore and come to them when she felt comfortable. They were patient with her and gave her the time she needed to warm up and feel safe. Thank you for taking good care of Willow and making her first stay away from us a positive experience. This was also our first time using Rover, so we’re glad we gave it a try.”
“Stephanie is extremely friendly, responsive, and accommodating. Her home setup with backyard was perfect for our pup. Stephanie and her family made him feel right at home. I’ll be booking again without a question.”
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: Hi, I’m Sofia. I am a privately insured full-time dog walker and sitter! I have experience with dogs and cats of all different sizes, breeds and temperaments. I have 7+ years of professional pet care experience having previously worked for two Los Angeles based pet care companies, and lifelong personal experience with animals. I love getting outside and exploring with dogs or playing with cats on a visit. I also have one cat and senior dog of my own, so two very spoiled and loved animals! Outside of pet care I'm an LA native who loves gardening, movies, crafting, and the Dodgers. As a pet owner myself, I know how nervous you may feel when leaving your pets in the care of someone else. My goal is to make your life and your pets life as easy and as comfortable as possible. I do that by staying in constant communication with you, following your notes and preferences, caring for your pets responsibly and always treating them with respect and love. I'm pet sitting and dog walking full time so I am fully committed to caring for animals! I’m available and flexible and can always accept same day walks most days of the week. Send me a message if you have any questions about availability, I'll be happy to help you and your pets. I’m a walker who: - will meet the energy of your dog on a walk, whether they are a quick trotter or more of a stop and smell the flowers type. -won't rush or pull. -uses positive reinforcers like treats and praise. -can take dogs on hikes or travel to parks. -is always mindful of your pets safety while out. I'm also available for overnight sitting and have lots of experience sitting for multiple weeks at a time. I’m a sitter who: -can meet the needs of your pet, including medication administration and following a feeding schedule. -maintains a calm temperament to keep your pets comfortable. -provides lots of attention and cuddles. -stays in constant communication. -sends lots of cute pics. -is very tidy in your home. -is mindful of home safety, food safety, and environmental changes . When doing overnight sitting, where I spend the night in your home, I like to follow the owner's routine and preferences as this makes the dog/cats life less stressful while you are away. Meet and greets before a sitting are a great way for me to learn about your routine and preferences before a sit. Some owners have also left detailed care instructions that mention feeding schedules, friends/neighbors phone numbers and home care information. Also, I send super cute frequent photo/video updates and am a very neat and tidy person in your home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pasadena
After my dog experienced suddenly going from a 2 human household to a 1 human household, I suddenly needed a some help for my for my precious fur baby. Chanell recommended a walk or doggie meet and greet first before daycare. I’m so glad she suggested that. If I had dropped off my little Layla the Basenji off to a stranger, she would have been stressed out for hours. Layla enjoyed her stay and was very well taken care of. Her behavior has already improved. Chanell is definitely a specialist that offers lots of value to pet owners. Thank you from Blake and Layla.

They were patient with her and gave her the time she needed to warm up and feel safe. Thank you for taking good care of Willow and making her first stay away from us a positive experience. This was also our first time using Rover, so we’re glad we gave it a try.
5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Angelica was wonderful with my newly adopted dog, Foster. I had her babysit him just two days after I brought him home, and she treated him with so much patience and care. Foster is an emotional support dog for other dogs, and Angelica clearly understood how to make him feel safe and comfortable right away. She gave me detailed, glowing updates the whole time and it was obvious she genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. Beyond the excellent care, Angelica showed real compassion. I was still grieving the loss of my dog Brownie, and I ended up sharing more of that with her than I expected to. She listened with so much warmth and understanding, and it meant more to me than she probably realizes. Foster was happy and relaxed the whole time, which tells me everything I need to know. Angelica has earned our trust completely, and she's the only sitter I'll be booking for Foster from now on. Highly, highly recommend her.
Kyle and Jennifer were so generous with their time, accommodating a meet-and-greet / trial for my nervous pup. He was skittish when I dropped him off, but was best friends with Kyle by the time I picked him up. I was happy he got to enjoy (supervised) time in their backyard, since we don’t have one at home. Great communication throughout. Five stars; Rio looks forward to his next visit!
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. :)

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Pasadena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Pasadena is $43 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per day. 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 8,466 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
As of November 2026, there are 8,466 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 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.

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 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.
