“Lijuan took care of my three cats for four days and was such a wonderful, caring and thoughtful pet sitter! She really cares about their well-being and made sure they were comfortable and happy while we were gone. I feel like I can totally trust my cats in her care and my kitties can’t wait until they get to see her again. I’m so grateful for her help!”

About: Hi! I'm Harue, and I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, volunteered at local animal shelters, and rescued my own pet parakeets. Getting to know each animal's unique personality is one of my favorite parts of pet sitting! 🐶🐱❤️ I've cared for dogs, cats, parakeets, hamsters, and reptiles, and I love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet company, I'm happy to meet them where they’re at. My schedule varies day by day, but I will definitely let you know if I am available during the time of your request! I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, and any special care needs, while keeping you updated with photo updates along the way! 📸 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own, while following their routines, keeping their environment safe, and creating a calm, stress-free experience. Whether we’re going on walks, having playtime, or spending quiet time together, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. 🐾

“Mike was very professional and kind, and he was a great caretaker for my cat! He sent reports on the check-ins and daily photos, which both put me at ease as someone who hasn't used an outside caregiver before. I would certainly recommend Mike to others and will seek out his services again for future trips!”

“Charmaine was incredible and went above and beyond to make our little baby feel so loved and taken care of when we were away! She gave us peace of mind by taking pics of our Olive and sending them to us ? for a cat who doesn’t usually cozy up to strangers, I was pleasantly surprised how quickly she took to Charmaine. Charmaine clearly is an animal lover who treats other pets like her own. Thank you Charmaine!!!”

“I made sure to Book Dean a few months before my scheduled vacation because Dean is hands-down, without a doubt the best cat sitter. I’ve had many cat sitters in the past and they were all very kind and I felt that my cats were safe with them but it’s different with Dean. When we come home after a long vacation, my cats feel different if they have been watched by Dean. We can tell that they were not only safe and well fed, but they felt loved. Dean brings over handmade cat toys and special treats and engages with them the entire time. We can tell just by the photos how much our cats love Dean. I’m generally a nervous person when it comes to my cats because they are my babies and when we get Rover cards from any other Rover, I immediately have nerves thinking “what if something went wrong”. With Dean, my husband and I have general excitement when we get the Rover card. We are always so excited to see what they have been up to. It’s such a blessing when you know your pets are safe with someone but it’s beyond wonderful when you know they feel loved.”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy giving them the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make each visit feel safe, calm, and enjoyable. Whether it’s a good walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m dependable and attentive to their needs. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away. Being retired gives me the flexibility to make pet care a meaningful part of my day. My schedule is open and flexible, which allows me to provide reliable, unhurried walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I enjoy having a routine and getting out for walks, so spending time with pets is a perfect fit. I can give each pet the individual attention they need rather than rushing through a visit, and I’m happy to work with their usual feeding, walking, and care routines. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions carefully, making sure they have fresh water, attention, exercise, and plenty of affection. I’m also respectful of your home, keeping things clean and secure and making sure everything is as you left it. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“Thank you so much Alicia! She is always my go-to cat sitter for almost a year now and she’s gotten to know my two kitties super well! She did an amazing job and went above and beyond with handling any issues that came up, such as cleaning up after one of my cats broke something or there were issues with the auto feeder. She always sends the cutest photos of them with detailed updates. I felt totally comfortable leaving my kitties in her capable hands while I was away on vacation.”

About: With 11 years of experience raising my own pup and dog-sitting for friends, I provide loving, reliable care that keeps every tail happily wagging. They’re not just pets, they’re family ♥️ I’ve taken care of senior dogs, puppies, and big dogs. I once flew out to Hawaii for a month to dog sit 2 pitbulls on my own! 🌴 I’ve loved and cared for my own dog for 11 wonderful years, and he’s taught me patience, empathy, and unconditional love. I’ve spent years caring for my own pup and helping friends with theirs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone’s hands, so I promise to give them the same warmth, safety, and love I give mine. I am fully remote in my 9-5 corporate job. The September-December season is light at work so I have plenty of time to give the love and attention your pups need. ♥️ I create a very comforting environment for every pup and they’re owner. I like to talk to dogs like they’re my own to keep them engaged and know that they’re never alone in my care ♥️

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. Available Monday through Friday for drop-in visits between 5 PM - 10 PM; M, W, Fri from 6:30 AM - 8 AM; 12-1 PM; 5-10 PM; Flexible schedule on M, W, FRI due to working from home. Available Saturday and Sunday all day for drop-in visits and house sitting. I like stocking my cat’s environment with blankets, beds and toys and offer lots of love and cuddling. I will follow my client’s instructions and preferences to keep their cat comfy and happy.

About: As a mental health therapist/caregiver I have cared for loved ones, their homes, and their pets during difficult times in addition to my own pets. That being said, I truly adore not only maintaining my home but caring for someone else's home equally the same with respect. I am very organized, attention to details is a must, and structured. I also believe in going with the flow when necessary, I am very adaptable to change in new environments! I owned a Persian cat and miniature cocker spaniel for several years while in college along with a fish tank. I also co-parented a German Shepherd. I truly love and adore and miss the pets that I have owned and excited to share the love with meeting new pets and caring for them. So it's a Natural Instinct on the tasks that come with taking care of them and their needs. I am the perfect fit for your home because of everything that I represent (honest, loving, open-minded, well-rounded person). I have always loved animals and have grown up with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, horse riding, and rabbits since I was a little girl! Recently, I have decided to take on house sitting for Pets because I miss caring and nurturing Animals. Pets are healing, loving, and provide a well rounded life when you care for them like family! Because I travel so much, I am very concerned about getting a pet again right now and having to board the pet or have trouble with them traveling with me so this will give me an opportunity to care for pets since I truly adore them. I work remotely so I'm able to care for your sweet pets in your home while giving them the love & attention they're used to getting while you're there! Greetings my name is Kenisha/Kay! I'd love the care for adorable pet(s). You'll be able to enjoy your travels knowing that your fur babies are well taken care of a long with your home (I will watch it like a hawk! :). I am a caring, mature person who loves exploring via pet sitting. I've been house sitting through several Housesitting platforms for over a year & would love to add you to my list of satisfied families! You will see my personal references from individuals in my life that I have pet sit for or aided in their day to day for your comfort. While House sitting, I will keep your pets are entertained, feed them meals/treats promptly, and they will be my priority while I am there! I would love to talk with you more about house sitting and taking care of your precious pets. Please take a look at my profile and feel free to reply to this message to set up a call or chat with me! Looking forward to hopefully hearing from you regarding this exciting opportunity to be your pet and house sitter! Sincerely, Kenisha

Ayman was a great sitter and went above and beyond to make sure our cats were taken care of while we were out of town. Since our cats are Persians, then tend to have a lot of sinus issues. Every day she made sure to clean their faces and nose and gave them each a brushing! She also scanned the house for any messes, cleaned them up, and vacuumed pet hair ! Could t recommend her more.

This was the second time Priscilla took care of my cat, and in addition to doing a good job with feeding, playing, and litter, she really seemed to develop a bond with him.

Alexis did an amazing job looking after Mouchey -- I could tell how well he was looked after by how perky and engaged he was in every picture sent to me, as well as his bounding energy after I returned. She was also super adaptable and communicative: unexpectedly, an ant invasion occurred while I was gone, and Alexis did an outstanding job of letting me know about the situation, moving Mouchey and his items to a separate room, and containing the problem. Even when Mouchey's food was compromised, she immediately went the extra mile and offered to run to the store for a new bag so that we could toss the old one out. Her quick responsiveness and meticulous documentation allowed me to call in additional resources to clean up the issue, and she was so helpful and accommodating during the whole ordeal. Much, much gratitude for all of your help! I absolutely endorse Alexis's professionalism and competence -- I cannot understate how impressive her conduct was during this booking.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pasadena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pasadena on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 20,658 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pasadena stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
