“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.”
“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: If you’re looking for someone who absolutely adores animals AND is responsible/ reliable then I am your gal! I have a profound love and respect for any animal and would love to share my services/experience with you! I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was in diapers and have developed such a deep respect and love for any pet I’ve come across. I’ve had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, you name it! I’ve raised the majority of them from their baby stage such as their puppy/kitten stage. I also have had the pleasure of giving them a beautiful life and led them into their senior stage. I also volunteer at cat shelters and have pet sat for friends and family members. I make it a priority to provide a safe and welcoming environment so any pet under my care can feel comfortable with me. I also love to play for whatever time your pet needs and give joy to every pet under my care. My past clients would describe me as very reliable, patient, warm, and very flexible and understanding of certain needs your pet may have. I understand every furry friend is unique and different from one another so any accommodation or request you may have, I am more than open to adjusting! I currently have three of my own. I have a husky, shih tzu and a Siamese cat! So I have a very broad experience with different sized pets and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. I have a very open and flexible schedule and I would love to provide my services to you! As I work with the local district, I have all of summer available! So it still allows me to have a very open/flexible schedule. I can do weekdays, weekends, including holidays! I’m available from early in the AM to late at night. Weekends include anytime after 2pm. I have a gated porch with lots of room for play and a quiet calm neighborhood for long walks and quality time with your pet. I can also administer medication and crate or provide any instructions left by the owner.
“This is the second time I've hired Kathleen to look after my dogs and my house. She has always been incredibly responsive and responsible. She consistently goes above and beyond both with my dogs (even hand feeds my spoiled little one when she's being stubborn) and my house (there was a leak Kathleen went out of her way to try and diagnose, she keeps my plants alive and happy, and my house spotless). I trust her completely and all my animals love her. She sends frequent updates with cute pics, and you can tell she loves all living things. My dogs love her right back and appreciate having a snuggle buddy. She's absolutely wonderful!”
“Jennifer is amazing! Very kind, personable and communicative. She was wonderful with our two pups and sent updates and photos while we were gone which we loved. We will hopefully have Jennifer watch them again in the future and highly recommend her care.”
“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 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.”
“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!”
“Ana was amazing and so easy going! Stayed at my house 6 nights to care for my dog who has separation anxiety. He appeared to be very comfortable with her. She left the place very tidy just as I left it. Had to do many walks in the pouring rain since we have no yard. Will be leaving a nice tip!”
“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!”
“Avery is terrific - you'll enjoy your trip knowing your pets are in good hands! Very communicative, lots of photos and updates/information in an appropriate time and fashion. Would reccommend to friends and would use her again!”
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. From helping family members with their pets to taking on the responsibility myself, I’ve gained hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, birds, hamsters, bunnies—you name it! Growing up around animals has taught me how to understand their different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just wants someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience administering oral medication, as my own cat is currently taking medication, so I’m comfortable following medication schedules and special care instructions. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any extra care they may need. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing dependable, attentive care and making your pet’s time with me as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. As a full-time college student and volleyball coach, I keep a structured schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, with evening availability on most weekdays. Services 30-Minute Dog Walks include a safe and enjoyable walk tailored to your dog’s energy level, along with fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. Whether your pup prefers a relaxing stroll or an active walk, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. 30-Minute Drop-In Visits include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of love and attention. I’ll make sure your pet stays comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll send photo updates after each visit. House Sitting includes caring for your pet in the comfort of their own home while maintaining their normal routine. I’ll provide feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication if needed, companionship, and plenty of cuddles. I’ll also treat your home with respect and send regular updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. As a full-time student and athlete, I maintain a structured schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I'm available all day on Sundays and Saturdays, and I have evening availability on most weekdays. **Availability:** * Sunday: Available all day * Monday: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM * Tuesday: Available before 9:00 AM and after classes until 9:00 PM * Wednesday: 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM * Thursday: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM * Friday: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM and anytime before 9:00 AM * Saturday: Available all day Even with my busy schedule, I make time to provide attentive, dependable care and ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for their individual needs. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I make their safety, comfort, and well-being my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, house rules, and any special care requirements. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and create a stress-free environment while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, and supervision to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
“Namie is great! She is attentive and kind. She took excellent care of my sweet senior dog with separation anxiety and followed all my directions. Throughout her stay, Namie sent me pictures and gave me thoughtful updates. When I returned home, my dog was happy and comfortable. :) I will definitely ask her to provide house / dog sitting again!”
“Chelsea was amazing! From first meeting I was instantly comfortable with her. She asked questions about our dog's care and routine and made sure to stick with it. Communicative and timely, she took such good care of our boy. She made sure to follow our instructions for our leash reactive pup and left our house tidy. Can't say enough good things about her and will 100% be booking with her in the future. Thank you, Chelsea!”
“Lori was absolutely fantastic. Did a great job caring to for our Chompy. He immediately fell in love with her. We left town for a wedding and Lori kept us updated through out our time away. Will definitely book Lori again to care for Chompy!”
“We love Amber! I have two huskies- one older with special needs, one 6 months old and lovably insane. She did great with both, super communicative, reliable, and i never worried whether my extra tricky children got everything they needed. She was flexible with our wacky film schedule, goes the extra mile with details and she takes great pictures! ;)”

Courtney was a dream sitter for our energetic and playful black lab puppy! We used Courtney for the first time while on a week long vacation in Mexico. She took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, and she did an excellent job of keeping us apprised of how our pup was doing everyday. We will certainly be hiring Courtney again!
Shirley was a wonderful sitter! Sent great photos and updates multiple times a day, and both of my pets seemed so happy—even our cat, who is usually shy and hides from sitters, spent her weekend out and about in the living room. Would definitely ask her to care for our girls again!
Patrick stayed with our dog and cats for about a week and we've never felt so at ease on a trip knowing they were with him. He was always checking in and sending us photos and you can tell he truly enjoys spending time with animals and cares for them. It was also our dog's birthday and he made sure she got a special walk and treats which was very sweet! Thank you so much again Patrick!!!
Wow! Cannot recommend Hilary enough. She housesat our pup for several days on short notice, even extending her stay when our plans changed last-minute. She communicated clearly throughout the trip, and even left our place cleaner than she found it. Will 100% be rebooking Hilary in the future, and our pup, Brock, wholeheartedly agrees! Brock is an anxious boy but took a liking to Hilary immediately If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pet in your home, you cannot go wrong with Hilary!
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. ❤️
Mari is fantastic and clearly a cat lover - and understands cats! When she came to meet Busy for the first time, she took all the time needed to bond with my kitty and ask all questions about her care. During her time with Busy, I received the cutest photos and videos showing my kitty super comfortable, getting all her play time, and cozying up for naps every day during her stay. Mari also maintained my apartment extremely well and I’m very thankful for that! I am so happy Mari is now in our lives and I wouldn’t think twice before booking her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pasadena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pasadena on Rover is $76.59 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,979 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.
