“Viky was a really amazing house sitter for my cats! She was even able to clip their nails! I got many updates and she was really communicative. I will definitely be hiring her for house sitting in the future.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Laura! We went on a 19 day trip. This was the longest we have ever been away from our dog, Rufus. Laura took such great care of Rufus. She sent us daily photos. It was clear that Rufus was super happy and well cared for. This allowed us to enjoy our trip. Laura stayed at our house with Rufus, and our house was cleaner when we came home than when we left? I wholeheartedly recommend Laura. She is amazing!”
“So fantastic and incredibly thoughtful! She did a fantastic job watching over our dog, cat, and house while we were away. She’s incredibly communicative and super sweet and we loved getting daily photos and videos of our pets! She’s incredibly detail oriented and we really liked that she came by before to meet our dog and cat!”
“Jessica, took care of our two older dogs, a Golden Retriever, Murphy (13) and a Maltese, Malcolm (11.5), and our cat Autumn(13) while we were away for about 10 days. Jessica took great care of our pet babies and our house. We felt confident in her care and professionalism, and we are so grateful we found her!! They all love her too:). Thank you Jessica!”
About: I am a responsible, reliable, and caring dog lover with experience handling dogs of different sizes and breeds. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love going on walks, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am punctual, patient, and attentive to each dog's personality and needs. I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and make their walks fun, safe, and enjoyable! I am a freelance artist and writer, so my schedule is very flexible and it is relatively easy for me to find time for pet sitting and walks. I love long walks and a company of a nice doggie (or a kitty), so taking your pet on a stroll or keeping it company at home will be a joy to me. In addition, I am responsible and punctual.
“Lydia and Chemil were so patient with our reactive pup and made best friends fast. They took fantastic care of our place and our dog, and we're super flexible in the face of a hurricane. They'll absolutely be asked back to sit in the future. I couldn't provide a more positive recommendation!”
“Rebecca took amazing care of our fur babies during our weekend trip. She is very attentive, and communicated with me throughout house sitting in our apartment. Thank you and will definitely be booking again!”
“We highly recommend Nataly for all your dog sitting needs! She is amazing with our pup Charlie and is great at sending updates every few hours. She truly does a great job with our baby. Thank you Nataly!!”
“J stayed with my two Bengals while I was out of town and did a great job caring for them. She followed medication instructions, cleaned up a couple of pee incidents (which is unfortunately part of life with my cats), and reached out whenever she had questions instead of making assumptions. It was obvious she genuinely liked my cats and paid attention to how they were doing. I appreciated that she noticed one of my cats allergies while I was away and texted to ask how she could help medicate if needed. I came home to two well-cared-for cats and would happily book with her again. ❤️”
About: As an only child, my dogs were my siblings. We always had 2 in our house and I was given the responsibility to care for them and our other pets at a young age. Friends and family have all requested and relied on me to care for their pets while they’re out of town on numerous occasions. I even walk my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs in my free time as I truly enjoy spending time with them! I have ample experience owning and caring for any and all things dog related. I can’t wait to meet and give your fur baby all the love and care they deserve! I’m currently a special education teacher and am at work from 7-3:30 daily. I have evenings and weekends available to spoil your pup and fulfill their every need. I have a fenced-in, private space for your dog to enjoy. I am happy to follow any and all rules you enforce in your own home, and am happy to allow your pup on my furniture. While walking your dog, they will receive all of my love and attention while encouraging polite walking behavior and safe socializing when appropriate. Keeping your pup safe, cared for, and happy is my top priority!
“Amazing ..I have a very difficult crew of pets- 3 dogs and a cat. One of which is a very high maintenance boarder collie. I was worried for Namie as I know how hard it is to keep my crew happy. Namie did it all! Took them to the park every day, and followed through on every task. She took such amazing care of my pets I knew they were so happy..Namie sent photos and updates daily. We were blessed to find such an amazing pet sitter she also took great care of our house…which was also difficult - the dogs she’d like crazy - so daily shedding on dark wood floors can be a pain ..the house was spotless…the roses alive and thriving in hot weather..Namie went above and beyond in every way! We are so grateful to Namie- to be able to take a vacation and not worry about our babies and to come home to a clean house and happy pups ..absolutely recommend Namie -I’d give her 100 stars!!!”
“My two small dogs can be really difficult with new people, but Trevor was very patient and gentle with them. He was communicative throughout his stay at our house, sending lots of pics and updates, and took great care of our pups. House was also very clean and neat when we got back from our trip!”
About: I have not cared for any dogs for long but I am happy to learn, grow, and develop to help care for your pets. I am open to learning new skills that will show the most care and love for your pet. I am currently working and have school but I am happy to care for you pets. I typically finish work at 9 am so any time after that I would be happy to come help you. Normally I care for pets in my clients home and make sure that the pets are receiving constant care. I am good with following schedules and routines for not only the pets but also for the owners home. I want the pets I care for to be safe, comfortable, and loved and bring peace of mind to their owners.
About: I am a very kind, patient loving woman who has always had fur babies and treat everyone's fur babies with love and compassion. Animals only want love and I will always give that to them. As of right now, I am unemployed so I am available 7 days a week. When i do normally have a job, I will still be available 3-4 days a week. I follow the clients list of do's and don't that they leave for me. I always keep in contact with the owner/owners so that they always feel at ease.
“Tamar was fantastic with my four-year-old husky. She has a husky herself so she understood the nuances.She was very attentive and stayed for long periods of time. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. The communication is superb and follow up was really appreciated. Tamar was very respectful of my house, I definitely recommend using Tamar for housesitting.”
“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”
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.

Brooke and Ryan did an amazing job taking care of our senior dog, Rufus, and our house while we were away for five days. They followed Rufus' routine and sent us daily updates and pictures. We were able to enjoy our trip because Rufus was in good hands. Thank you Brooke and Ryan!
Sketch had a lovely time with Laura and her husband while we were gone for 1.5 weeks! Laura watched Sketch in the past and did a great job so it was a no brainer when asking her to sit again for our furbaby. It definitely took away all the stress for us knowing we could fully trust them. They sent daily photo updates and communicated anything they had questions about, etc. We came to a very happy pup and our place was left spotless and clean! Can’t wait for Laura to watch Sketch in the future and we are glad to have found his person!
This was our first time having a sitter stay in our home, and Fairuz made it such a wonderful experience! She has such great energy, and our girls warmed up to her so quickly. Her communication was excellent throughout our trip, which really put us at ease. She took wonderful care of both our girls and our home. We can’t recommend Fairuz enough and will definitely book with her again!
Rachel was awesome! We went away for the weekend and she did an excellent job taking care of our pups. Her regular updates with pictures provided us with peace of mind throughout our trip. All of our instructions were followed accurately and most of all, our dogs loved her. Highly recommended.
Ani was very communicative and took great care of my dog and my home while I was out of town for work. She sent photos everyday which obv made me feel very happy and relieved my dog was in good care while I was gone. When I got home, I noticed my home was actually in better shape than I left it! She arranged the pillows and blankets in a way I had not thought of, but will start doing so in the future! Thanks for the interior decorating inspo, ani :)
Chemil is amazing! Communication was super easy, Chemil was great to chat with and easily understood and took on the dogs’ daytime routine, and we really appreciated the frequent photo updates! We came home from our day trip to two very happy and well taken care of pups. I highly recommend Chemil for sitting!
Kathleen is amazing! She was great with our dog Muncy while we were traveling. She also handled an unexpected and scary electrical issue at our house very promptly and responsibly. She kept great regular communication and sent some really cute photos of our pup that made our stay away stress-free!
Alexis is fantastic! My dog can be scared of new people, and Alexis was respectful of this and made her feel comfortable very quickly. She sent plenty of updates and also took super good care of my house while I was gone. Will definitely be asking Alexis to hang with my puppy again!
Mari took care of our 13 year old corgi for 2 weeks who has arthritis and Addison’s disease. She did a wonderful job managing her medicines, bringing daisy on her daily walks and sending pics and updates every day. We would gladly have her care for our sweet girl again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pasadena is $76 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $118 per night. 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 14,814 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pasadena walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pasadena maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pasadena choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pasadena. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
