“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.”
“Courtney got along so well with our dogs, Snack and Tuna, and made us feel totally stress free leaving them for our vacation. She sent amazing, regular updates (even on a busy holiday) and we came home to happy dogs and a super well-kept house. We’re so glad we found Courtney!”
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!
“Lanaye was PERFECTION. We have 3 labs—2 of them being a bonded pair that we adopted last year. We were nervous to leave them for the first time and had a fair amount of anxiety about it. From our first meeting, Lanaye exuded confidence, kindness and patience. She followed our instructions and treated our pups with love. I cannot recommend her enough. We are so grateful to her and will call her again. She is the tops—a wonderful person through and through.”
“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!”
“Jessica stayed with our senior French Bulldog over the weekend and it couldn’t have gone better. We are so glad to have found someone who took care of our house and our pup so perfectly. Already looking at her schedule to book her again!”
“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!”
“Rebecca and her sister Gabby watched our dog and two cats in our home for 11 nights over the holidays. They sent lots of photo updates and responded quickly anytime we reached out. The animals were in good spirits when we came home which is always a good sign! We were so grateful they were able to sit for us for such a long stay and would book them again.”
“Avery has stayed with our chug, Ernie, several times—she's amazing and I can't recommend her enough! She's great with Big Ern and expertly handles him and his dog reactivity while out on walks. She sends regular updates and pictures, is punctual and responsive, and is always respectful of our home and our neighbors. You never have to worry with Avery at the helm!”
“Laura was fantastic! I have a 1 year old and an 11 year old dog, each with their own needs. She was wonderful and communicative during the 5 day I was away. I felt completely comfortable with her taking care of them. And when I came home, everything was in great shape and the dogs seemed very happy. I will definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting for 3 years, and honestly, I just really love dogs! 🐶 I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, with most of my experience being with bigger dogs. I’ve looked after two Huskies at once, a Standard Poodle, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, and senior dogs. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso and was lucky enough to care for him myself during his senior years, so I understand how much extra patience, love, and attention older pups can need. I’m also very active and genuinely love going for walks. I average at least 10,000 steps a day, so if your dog loves a good walk, we’re probably going to be best friends! I’m very comfortable staying in other people’s homes and actually enjoy helping dogs stay in the environment they know and love. My goal is to keep your pup happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and, of course, lots of love! I work part time remotely with lots of flexibility and can bring my laptop anywhere. I don’t not have a partner or children so I can dedicated the proper time to looking after your pet! I will ensure that gates and doors are locked. The dog is on leash whenever we leave and to avoid other dogs and people if necessary. I will stick to your wishes on how you want your pet looked after.
“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!”
“Lijuan watched Bowser for 3 nights. She was very attentive to him and sent me photos all the time. It made me feel at peace knowing Bowser was in her care! Highly recommend!!”
“Natalia watched our cat and dog over the weekend while we were out of town and we had a fantastic experience with her! She came beforehand for a meet and greet where she was very friendly, professional, and great with our pets. I wrote detailed instructions regarding their care and Natalia followed all of their regular routines! Natalia sent frequent photos, took our dog on many walks, and made sure that our car was always indoors! She was very friendly and extremely communicative. We look forward to her watching Freya and Ginger again when we are on a longer trip next month! I am very nervous leaving my pets with people but I feel super confident and comfortable with Natalia and highly recommend working with her!”
“Sonia was great with our dog, Fisher, who is blind and can sometimes be challenging. She communicated with us throughout the stay and even offered to contact the vet to refill Fisher’s medication for her. I can highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again.”
“We're so happy we found Ruby to take care of our dog and stay at our place while we were away. She sent us pictures, gave updates and seems to really love animals. Would recommend and book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pasadena
Vicky and Erick are AMAZING. They are both wonderful, trustworthy people who truly have a gift with animals. My two dogs are…a lot, and I had never previously left them with any pet sitters outside of family members. Vicky and Erick immediately put my mind at ease and it was a huge relief to know my dogs were in such good hands. Both times I have booked them to stay at my home and, not only did they take good care of my dogs, I returned to find that my house was cleaner than when I left! I would enthusiastically and unreservedly recommend Vicky and Erick to anyone.
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.
We could not have asked for a better cat sitter. Mike was so communicative and sent us photos every day. We were so worried our girls would hide every day and within the first few hours he had them out and eating. Really put our minds at ease and know they were well taken care of.
Lanaye is an absolute joy! We are so happy we found her, you can tell right away that she is a warm, welcoming, and a very caring person. My husband and I had to take a last-minute family trip for 10 days, which is not something we do often, and Lanaye came thru for us with zero hesitation and less than 2 weeks notice! Our 2 big dogs can be the suspicious type, but they were immediately excited about Lanaye, which was such a HUGE peace of mind for us. Our nerves about leaving them for so long quickly melted away, and we got so many pictures and updates that we knew our girls were in the best hands and getting so much love. We cannot recommend Lanaye enough, she was an absolute life saver and we will definitely be booking with her again. THANK YOU LANAYE <3
We are so grateful for Hannah! We were very nervous about traveling since our 19 year old cat’s special needs had grown but Hannah did everything to keep him happy and comfortable. She followed our extensive instructions and was so patient with our boy, especially throughout the night when his dementia starts to kick in. She kept our other more timid cat happy too, and we are just so happy to have found her. Will definitely be booking again!
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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pasadena. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
