About: I've had pets my entire life. My pets were a Tabby named Mischief (always got in trouble), her son Harddrive (born next to a desktop), and a black cat named Lucky. I have house sat overnight multiple times, including pets that had to have medicine and special diets. My friends always ask me to watch their pets, which I happily do. I have dealt with a 4 cat household, as well a two dog two cat household. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, a highlight of which was walking a young, lovely, and hyper German Shepard named Iris for several weeks while her family vacationed. I used to work at a pet store that specialized in healthy food, where I learned useful information in regards of proper care and diets.

About: Professional and educational care for various pets, including puppy training and senior animal support, is provided based on extensive experience with multiple age ranges and animal types like dogs, cats, reptiles, pocket pets, and some fish and birds. In addition to my many year's experience, I previously worked as a Lead Veterinarian Technician for an animal hospital for three years. Regarding my education, I earned a degree in biology with a concentration in animal and plant sciences. I am currently working part time, so ideal weekly work hours can range from 15-28 hours per week. I am flexible from 8:30am-9:00pm daily with the exception of Monday's, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 6pm-8pm due to a college course. Course starts June 23-Aug 17th. A new person coming to take care of your fur baby can be stressful for them, so I will ensure that I pay attention to their body language and let them come to greet me on their terms. On walks, I will keep my head on a swivel for any close by activity and maintain the fur baby on a closer leash for more control during stressful situations and/or head back home if needed. In the pet parent's home, I will check and correct for potential heath risks near the pet (like loose wires). In addition to walks, I would love to play with fur babies so they bond with me in addition to maintaining any routines per pet parent instructions.

“Tina is absolutely the BEST! She always shows up on time, and my puppy absolutely LOVES going on walks and playing tug with her. I especially appreciate that she lets him take his time sniffing and exploring while also patiently teaching him not to pull on the leash. When he had an accident in his crate, Tina went above and beyond without hesitation—she cleaned him up and took care of the entire mess! She is incredibly caring, reliable, and will send you the cutest pictures she takes of your puppy during her time there. I HIGHLY recommend Tina to anyone looking for an amazing dog walker!”

They have the best time together now! We’ll continue to use Adelyn whenever we need care.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover living in Severn with my two spoiled cats. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you're away. I have hands-on experience caring for cats and love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a companion nearby, I'm happy to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. For cats, I understand the importance of respecting their routines, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! My current work schedule has me in the office 7am - 3:30pm. I'm available Monday - Friday anytime after 4pm, and am available overnight. Saturdays, Sundays & holidays are flexible! I can easily keep your dog separate from my two cats if needed. There is a (unfenced) yard that backs into the woods. My house is tucked away in a lovely neighborhood with sidewalks, perfect to walk your pup.

Jacob was absolutely wonderful! We have two Belgian Malinois, which are definitely not the easiest dogs to care for, but Jacob knew exactly how to handle them and understood everything we asked of him. We really hate putting our dogs in boarding facilities, so finding someone we could trust and who understood how much our dogs mean to us was extremely important. Jacob was always on time, communicated with us throughout our trip, and has such a wonderful, energetic personality—which was perfect for our dogs! They were very well cared for, and knowing they were in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We usually don’t leave reviews, but Jacob truly deserves one. He was an amazing pet sitter, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone responsible, caring, reliable, and great with high-energy dogs. We will definitely be using him again! 🐾❤️🐊🐶❤️🐶🐊🐾

Aidan took wonderful care of our foster, Tango, who had just recently gotten neutered. I was nervous about leaving him, but after a meet and greet with Aidan, I knew he was in great hands. They were very respectful of the notes I left and were attuned to Tango's needs in his vulnerable state. Their calm and grounding energy was just what Tango needed during his recovery. I would highly recommend Aidan to anyone who is looking for a thoughtful, kind, and reliable person to care for their pets.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Pasadena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Pasadena is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 11,866 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Pasadena. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Pasadena after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pasadena. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
