My pets loved Mike right as they met him. He was flexible, kind, and overall a great sitter. We had to change trip dates and later we worked in an additional visit on the schedule. We had very limited cellphone reception while out of town and were happy that he was communicating as needed. We will definitely book him again!

Joy, thank you so much! Vanilla is usually very shy of strangers, so the fact that she let you brush her says a lot about how great you are. All the best!

I’m so glad we have Lijuan to look over our three kitties while we are away! They absolutely love her and she really takes great care of them. We have no worries because she is such a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Kyle was invaluable by looking after our reptiles on short notice that we were able to have peace of mind while abroad without having to board then. We definitely would recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.

She was so good with Jessica. Usually she's super shy with new people and she immediately im ate treats from Anne. Her energy was great. Clearly she has a connection with the animals. It was less hard going on a trip knowing my cat was in good hands. She also sent the cutest photos.

We couldn't be happier with Lifan! she took fantastic care of our two cats, Pepper and Kobe, while we were away for a couple weeks. We got daily updates with adorable photos of the pets. Everything was spotless when we returned, and the cats were happy. She took care of Kobe's and his medication needs which was really helpful as well. She also made our shy cat Pepper warm up to her which is really rare. Highly recommend—we'll definitely be booking with her again and couldn't be happier with how she took care of the kitties!

Saemi came over a couple of times while I was out all day and made sure my two dogs were taken care of. They are completely opposite—one big and super excited, and one small and timid—and she was able to adapt to each of their needs at once. I have boarded with Saemi before and I know I can be away from my pets without worry when they are with her! Thanks Saemi!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old. I have personally lived with 5 cats during my life time and have taken care of dogs outside of my house for friends and family. Of those 5 cats, 3 I have taken care of until they passed away, so I know how to take care of both young and older animals. I am currently a behavior therapist for children with autism. I am a very patient and calm person that extends to both my personal and professional life. It is very important to me to get to have a good relationship with the pet that I am taking care of. I currently work part time as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. I am completely free on the weekends and have time early afternoon and late at night on weekdays to do drop ins or stay the night. I am more than willing to follow any care that is required for the pet in question. I will take the time the play with them, take them on walks, give them food, and medicine if that is something they need. I will make sure they treat your home respectfully as I know from experience that cats and dogs alike enjoy doing things with furniture that they are not supposed to. I will always make sure that your pet is happy and comfortable when around me.

About: 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. As a legal professional, I’m highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I take instructions seriously, communicate clearly, and make it a priority to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages during each visit. 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: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. I grew up with a German Shepherd who I helped care for from puppyhood until she passed when I was 18, giving me years of experience with walks, feeding, exercise, and lots of love. My mom prioritized cleanliness so I also know how to keep your dog and space clean. More recently, I’ve cared for a friend’s young Aussiedoodle on five separate occasions, including overnight stays, which gave me experience handling a high-energy dog with a consistent routine and plenty of attention needs. Whether your dog is young or old, my goal is always to provide reliable, attentive care and make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m available on Fridays before 9am and after 4pm (can be flexible in between also) and on weekends I’m pretty flexible for multiple visits / walks per day. I am great at following directions and will respect any wishes you have for your home and pet. I am very conscious that I am caring for a loved one and will be very careful and safe during my time with your pet.

About: I've taken care of my dog over 13 years and all of my friend's dogs too. I have experience with dogs full of energy and special needs as well. I currently work full time from home and have availability on the weekends to board or take your pet out for walks. They will have full range of my home and get all the snuggles. I have a dog park in my apartment and the neighborhood is very walkable with a park nearby. I don't have a crate unfortunately and my space is limited. Your pet will have full range and access.

About: I manage a puppy yoga company so I have tons of experience with young dogs. I have also been a dog sitter for adult and senior dogs for 10 years. I am CPR & First Aid certified for dogs & puppies! I am a professional dancer; auditioning and taking classes is my current schedule. I’m home for the good majority of every day and I love to go for long walks. I have no other pets; I live in a safe area and a building with many other dogs. My building has elevators, so there is easy access outside!

About: I’ve been around dogs since i was a child and genuinely love caring for them. I have experience with puppies (my own dog gave birth to 9 puppies that I helped raise and care for!), senior dogs, and homes with multiple dogs. As a husky owner, I’m very comfortable with energetic small, medium, and large breeds and understand how important exercise, structure, and attention are for a happy dog. I’m also comfortable giving oral medications and know how important it is to give them properly and on schedule. I gained this experience while caring for my own husky when she needed medication as a puppy. Since I’m not currently working full time, I have plenty of time to spend with the dogs in my care. That means lots of supervision, playtime, walks, cuddles, and just keeping them company throughout the day. I only take 1 to 2 guest dogs at a time, depending on size, so each dog gets plenty of attention. If needed, I can safely separate dogs to make sure everyone feels comfortable and relaxed. My home is very dog friendly, and dogs are welcome on the furniture and even the bed if that’s what they’re used to. I treat every dog like family and always send regular photo and message updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I currently work part time and am on call as needed, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I have plenty of time to spend with the dogs I care for. At home, my own dogs go out for walks at least twice a day, and I make sure they get lots of exercise, playtime, attention, and potty breaks throughout the day. On weekends, I’m usually home most of the time, so the dogs get even more company and care. I’m also home most evenings, so your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. I really enjoy sending photo and message updates throughout the day too, so you can see how your pup is doing and feel at ease while you’re away. I always try to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know that helps them feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my main focus. I take time to learn each dog’s routine and personality so they can feel relaxed and at home with me. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family and are always supervised. I only take a small number of dogs at a time so I can give each one plenty of attention, and I can separate them if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, walks, fresh water, and lots of love throughout the day. I also send photo and message updates so you can see how they’re doing and feel at ease while you’re away. I truly care for every dog like they’re my own and want them to feel happy, safe, and loved while in my care.

About: (Booking acceptable Jun -Aug) Hi Pasadena fur parents 💛 I’m Yoko, originally from Japan and now living in Pasadena after spending the last few years in Naples, Italy. As a Navy officer’s wife, I’ve been part of close-knit communities where I became the go-to dog walker and sitter for both American and local families. My husband, MD, is also a huge dog lover, and together we’re excited to share our home and give plenty of love to the dogs we care for. People often call me an animal whisperer, I naturally connect with dogs of all personalities, even the shy or reactive ones. I genuinely love animals and treat every pup like part of my family. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies or giving gentle attention to senior dogs, I approach each one with patience, affection, and respect for their unique needs. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m also in the process of applying to volunteer at the Pasadena Humane Society to continue learning and giving back to the animal community. Living right in front of Central Park means your dog gets plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and space to explore. Whether you prefer sitting at your place, mine, or just need a reliable walker, I’m flexible and happy to help. Let’s make your dog’s day a little brighter! I’d love to be your trusted new fur friend! 🐕‍🦺🐕🦮🐩🤍 I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. Whether your pup needs early morning energy or evening cuddles, I can adjust to their needs. My flexible schedule also allows me to accommodate last-minute requests when needed. I provide a calm, loving, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe and at home. I live in a pet-welcoming apartment right across from Central Park, so your pup will enjoy regular walks, fresh air, and a nice balance of play and rest. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed if that’s what they’re used to. I want them to feel completely comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for multiple dogs at a time, as long as their personalities are compatible, and I always take time to help each dog feel secure, especially if they’re shy or new to the space. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and preferences closely to keep things familiar for your dog. I’m respectful, tidy, and always communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pasadena on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 20,964 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
  • 93% 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.
