“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.”
“First time having a new sitter take care of my pups in a very long time and we got so lucky with Kathleen! She took great care of both my dogs, administered meds, and provided regular updates that helped me also enjoy my time off. Absolutely recommend!”
“Courtney is an outstanding dog professional, experienced, confident, reliable, honest, on time, and she has the greatest personality. We needed an experienced dog sitter & handler for our dog Chuck to sit for an entire day and evening at our house. Courtney turned out to be the perfect Rover-choice, in full agreement with her great reviews! Chuck is a three year old high energy working line sable German Shepherd police dog. He was born, raised, and trained in Germany. Courtney and Chuck quickly bonded. She quickly learned the few German commands needed for sitting and walking purpose. She also quickly learned about the personality and traits of a dog like Chuck from a write-up summary that we handed over. Courtney kept updating us during her sit, walk, play, and feeding. She also sent us pictures. Chuck clearly fell in love with Courtney. When she left he was whining and he did not want her to leave 😀. Courtney is simply the best of the best!”
“I would highly recommend Laura for your pet sitting needs. We booked Laura to stay overnight in our home to care for our 4 dogs, one of them was a 9 week old puppy who needed lots of love and attention. Laura made it a priority to make sure our pups had all of her attention and love. She was fantastic with all the dogs and they loved her. She took them on walks, cuddled and slept with them, and provided us lots of pictures. She is very professional and respectful. We felt very comfortable having her in our home. We will definitely use her again!!”
“Avery was simply the best puppy/house sitter we could ask for. Our puppy fell in love with her and we got many smiling pictures and videos of him while we were away. Her job wasn't easy-- she was here over the 4th of July with a puppy who is very scared of fireworks. But she handled the situation with confidence and comforted our dog like a absolute pro. She truly went above and beyond to not only care for our active puppy, but care for our house as well. We could not recommend her more. Thanks, Avery!”
“Hannah was great. She kept me updated, cats were happy when o returned and she left my apartment in great shape. Was wonderful knowing my fur babies were happy and my apartment was well taken care of when I was away.”
“Rebecca was a wonderful sitter for our dog, Otis, while we were away. She took great care of up, provided lots of updates, and left our home immaculately clean! We will definitely book again.”
“Kenisha was a great caregiver for our pup and home! We had easy communication and she has such a lovely energy about her. We expect to have her back once we put some travel on the calendar!”
“Jessica did a great job dog sitting for my 3 dogs. She kept their routine the same and made them comfortable while I was gone for a week. I appreciated her frequent updates and pictures.”
“Lori was fantastic with my dog Maggie. She is a senior dog and is a little higher maintenance with medications and care these days. Lori was top of every medication, feeding, walk etc. She followed instructions very well which put my mind at ease while on our trip. I could not recommend her enough.”
“Nataly helped us out at the last minute and was wonderful with the dogs! She is a great communicator and sent us multiple photos throughout her stay, house was very clean and dogs were napping when we came home. We hope she'll be able to help us out again in the future. Thanks Nataly!”
“Amanda was amazing with our pup over the holiday weekend. Our anxious dog settled with her so quickly and even came to her for pets and play. We'll definitely be reaching out to book Amanda again!”
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.
About: I’ve cared for the dogs and cats of many friends and family, including my own 16 year old deaf & blind yorkie. I love all animals, and am experienced in caring for disabled pets, anxious pets, and those with lots and lots of energy. I’m currently a student in medical school, so I spend lots of time studying - perfect for home visits where I can run through my flashcards in the company of a furry friend! I also love walking around the neighborhood and going on hikes with the pets I care for! I am experienced in working with prescription diets, special needs animals, and pets of all ages. Please let me know what special considerations your pet requires!
“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've lived around and helped care for dogs my entire life, growing up with labs, golden retrievers, and Australian shepherds in Reno, NV. Currently I'm a student doctor at USC, applying into MD residency in 2028, and I love animals - dogs & cats. I can do dog walks or home visits, and I've had experience taking care of young + older dogs. I'm in the MD-MBA program at USC, and I'm in the MBA portion of my training, meaning that I have Fri-Sun off consistently. Notified in advance, I can help with pet care most mornings Friday-Sunday. Please feel free to message me! Overall, I am very observant, patient, and responsible. I'm aware of nearby traffic and other dogs. I responsibly clean up after poop accidents. I'm great with energetic dogs who need outdoor time. I have experience working with older dogs as well, and I'm very patient and attentive to their needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pasadena
William was spectacular! I felt very safe leaving my cat, Omi, in his care. He also spent the nights with her so she wasn't alone, which I greatly appreciated. He left my place looking exactly how I left it. He sent pictures and updates throughout the week he was watching her. Would absolutely book with him again!
So grateful I found Mike on Rover. He did such a great job taking care of my precious Peral while I traveled.He kept in communication with me - sent plenty of updates with photos- The house was spotless- Couldn't be more pleased to find someone I feel so good about trusting the care of my 'baby' to - thank you Mike!
Mari is truly exceptional! She cared for Sabine for two weeks while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving her in Mari’s care. She is exceptionally skilled, communicative, thoughtful, and adaptable, the best qualities for someone caring for your dog and home for an extended stay. During the sit, we had an unexpected water break behind the house, and Mari handled the situation incredibly well. She showed excellent judgment, stayed calm and communicative, and took care of what needed to be done without us having to worry from afar. Most importantly, Sabine absolutely adores her. She seemed so happy, relaxed, and incredibly well cared for when we got home. We feel very lucky to have found Mari and would trust her with Sabine and our home again without hesitation.
Shannon was wonderful! She provided thoughtful updates and loads of photos to make us feel at ease while we were away from our fur babies! She was flexible, responsive and gave our pups loads of love and snuggles! I will absolutely book her again when we need in home care!!
Avery did a great job caring for our animals. They were happy and healthy on our return home and the house looked great. Our pup can present challenges given both the late maturing of her breed and her own quirks, but Avery dealt with them as they came and we appreciate her suggestions on how to help her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pasadena on Rover is $76.59 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 14,806 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
