I have been through training for one because he hated men severely. He has since gotten better. I have open availability at the moment so I am able to take your dog out as needed II really can't wait to take out a dog that loves to run.

About: I regularly volunteer with cats at Kitten Rescue and Pasadena Petco, and have experience administering care, food and medicine to cats with disabilities and senior cats. I’ve been a lifelong cat lover and currently care for my own cat, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I’ll work at their pace and make sure they receive the care, attention, fresh food and water, litter box maintenance, and companionship they need. My goal is to help your cat feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand that trust is the most important part of pet care.

“Charmaine was great with our senior girlie while we were out of town! They did all of her favorite activities together like laps around the house and sitting on the catio.

About: I provide reliable dog walking and drop-in/cat sitting services in Pasadena area, and I’ve cared for both dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities. I’m comfortable handling medication (oral, mixed with food, etc.). What sets me apart is that I’m very detail-oriented and respectful of each pet’s routine. I take time to understand their personality and adjust whether that means longer, active walks for dogs or calm, low-stress visits for cats who prefer their space. With that said, meet and greet is required for every dog and cat. I offer: - Dog walking tailored to energy level and routine (30min/1h walks; dog park runs) - Cat drop-in visits and sitting - Medication feeding and special instructions - Regular updates with photos so you know how your pet is doing My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and to give you peace of mind.

I allow dogs on furniture but not in bed. Lots of toys to share with and occasional treats are provided
“Jessica was great at looking after my three cats and was able to come up with a quick solution when one of my cats initially refused to eat. My cats seemed to be very comfortable around her.”
About: I've taken care of my own dog and other dogs for over 5 years several times so they have trusted me with their loved one when a sitter was needed or when they have been out of town. I'm currently unemployed and have time to walk dogs almost daily. Normally, I work remote and still am able to walk daily as well but not as flexible. I have a mini goldendoodle with a small fenced yard, however we go on walks at different times of the day and typically did not stay in the yard as it is fairly small.
“Stephanie was great! She took the time to do a pre-meet up with me several days beforehand so she could meet Simon and learn about his schedule and needs. The day of she was prompt and sent me updates during Simon's time with her, including a cute photo. I felt very confident that Stephanie gave Simon great care and I plan to work with her again in the future.”
“Ani, thank you so much for looking after our Oliver! Regular updates and some fantastic photos were a blessing, and over the festive season too. Thank you so much for being so flexible with bookings, especially given the short notice over Christmas when we unexpectedly found ourselves needing to be out of town. Would 10,000% recommend Ani, she has been truly fantastic. Thank you!!!!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog person who genuinely loves spending time with dogs — morning walks, fetch in the park, belly rubs on the couch, you name it. I know every pup has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow yours exactly as you've set it up. I'm reliable, tidy, and comfortable caring for your home while you're away. Your dog gets a companion who's actually excited to be there, and you get peace of mind knowing your home and your furry friend are in good hands. I'm a night owl, so evening walks and feedings are no problem. I'm home most of the day, so potty breaks and playtime fit right in. Evenings are for dinner, a walk, and winding down together. At night I'm right there in the house, so your pup gets to stay comfy in their own home with me nearby — no stress, no big changes to their routine. Since I offer overnight house sitting, all the care happens in your home — which I think is the best setup for your pet. I follow your instructions closely: feeding schedules, portion sizes, walk routes, medications, and any quirks or preferences you share with me. I keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel secure while you're away. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can see how they're doing. Beyond the pets, I'll keep your home tidy and secure, making sure everything's as you left it when you return.

Joy was the perfect cat-sitter for Louie. She kept her fed and watered, and showered her with lots of petting. And, the litter box was clean when I arrived home. Joy also did a great job with my plants and bird feeder. She gave me incredible peace of mind while on a business trip, and made sure Louie was well cared for.
Don’t look further, hire Olivia. And please read this review 🙏🏽 Not only has Olivia taken care of my sweet baby Piffy for the past year with the upmost care and expertise, but she took her to the vet and sat in the room with her when she had to be put down after developing female leukemia. She FaceTimed me because I was states away and couldn’t be with my baby in her last moments. 🐱🪽🥺 And THEN… she drove her back to my apartment for me to say my goodbyes to her when I got home…. Like are you serious? An angel is an understatement. If I ever get another pet I will never hire anyone else. Olivia deserves the world. Please bless her and hire her forever. I can never thank her enough. 🥺💖 Piffy loves Olivia forever. 🐱🪽💖🐾
We absolutely love Camille! She genuinely cares about our cat and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. We have been using her for years and trust her completely with both our cat and our home, which gives us such peace of mind when we're away. She's punctual, tidy, communicative, and thoughtful. If anything comes up, she asks questions rather than making assumptions, which we really appreciate. It's clear that she takes her responsibilities seriously and truly cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their pets and home!
Alyce took great care of our cat while we were away! She came by the day before to meet him and go through the instructions. She was on time for every visit and did everything we asked. She was very communicative throughout and always updated us with pictures. Our cat can be shy but it looked like he warmed up to Alyce. We will book with Alyce again the next time we go away.
Thea is a wonderful person who is absolutely reliable, responsible, and who goes out of her way to make sure our cats are well cared for while we are away. We love how well she knows our fluffs by now and what they respond to best. Thank you so much for consistently great work!
Charmaine was great with our senior girlie while we were out of town! They did all of her favorite activities together like laps around the house and sitting on the catio. We got plenty of pictures to make us miss her a little less until we got back. We’ll definitely be booking with Charmaine again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pasadena is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 per visit. 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 20,606 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pasadena. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
