“Emma was so great! She always responded quickly to messages, and was very accommodating to our needs - she came over in advance so we could meet her and introduce her to our dog, and she dealt with some unconventional dog hand-offs while we were away. She also left the house just as it was. We will definitely be reaching out to her for dog-sitting needs in the future. Thank you, Emma!”
“Once again, Dylan was great with our dog and cat. Our dog has a sensitive stomach sometimes and he kept us up to date and was willing to change up the usual routine when our dog decided to have an upset stomach. He’s wonderful and we appreciate him so much!”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our German Shepherd and tripod Lab for 5 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Before the stay, she took the time to come meet us and our dogs, and she asked thoughtful questions that showed how much she genuinely cares about animals and wants to provide the best care possible. Throughout our trip, she sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s clear that Sydney truly loves dogs. She was attentive, responsible, communicative, and treated our pups like they were her own. As a recent college graduate, she is incredibly mature, dependable, and professional. We came home to two happy dogs and a clean house. We would not hesitate to book Sydney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Annah & Meara on Rover! Working with them has been so easy and such a pleasure! It was our first time leaving our pup with anyone, and we were a bit nervous. Annah & Meara understood our concerns and were so reassuring and kind. They took amazing care of our pup - so much so that we were worried she would prefer them to us when we got back :) The communication was regular and reliable while we were away and we got plenty of photos that really gave us piece of mind. I couldn't recommend them more highly!”
“Code and Dana were amazing! They sent pics daily of their walks and kept me updated on my picky eater. Code came early the day we left to feed and walk the dogs with me to understand what challenges they may see. We have 3 dogs so it’s not always easy to find sitters who can handle them but they made it seem easy. I really can’t recommend them enough. The house was cleaner than how I left it too!! Don’t question it-just book them!!”
“Lindsey was amazing with my dogs who can be a lot at times. They immediately loved her and it’s wonderful to be able to travel and know your dogs are taken care of. I can’t enjoy my trips if I’m worried about the dogs and Lindsey provided constant updates so I knew they were in excellent hands.”
“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Megan was awesome! She updated us with photos regularly, played with our pup, snuggled our cat, and kept them on their normal schedules. We will definitely be booking with her again. You can tell she’s a sitter that truly loves animals. 😊💕 also our place was clean and looked great. Thanks Megan!!”

“Ryan is my pup Shyla’s new best friend! Ryan provided lots of great photos and updates for the short stay at our home. He even took her for a hike on her favorite local trail. ? She is currently waiting on the porch now for his return.? Thanks for being there for us Ryan. You maintained her routine and helped to minimize her separation anxieties. I just might have to be away again soon now that I know who I can call on!”
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for 8 years. I started as an assistant at a general practice. I worked my way up to a technician. I worked at the general practice hospital for two years before I decided that emergency medicine was my passion. I have now been working at an emergency hospital for 6 years. I have extensive knowledge about different medications and what to do in an emergency situation. I also have two dogs of my own six cats, and a bunny. I am a pet lover and strive to provide the best care for all fur-babies. I’m currently working full time as an over night veterinary technician at an emergency hospital. I work Sunday-Wednesday. I am available anytime Thursdays-Saturdays for all your pets needs. With every visit, your pet will be treated with kindness and like they are my own. They will get a walk, let out into yard, or 30 minutes of playtime. I will do whatever they prefer! I can assist in mealtime and ensuring they always have fresh water available. If they need medications, they will be administered with accuracy and in a timely manner. I can also do light grooming if they allow ie brushing and bathing.
About: Hi I’m Amanda and your pet(s) are my #1 priority! I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and fish throughout my life and love learning about their fun personalities and behavior. I trained my Labrador retriever as a puppy and have experience with senior dogs, dogs with hearing and sight issues, anxious/animal reactive dogs, leash pullers or any dog who may need some extra TLC. I also have a medical background and can administer medications if needed. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you can rest assured knowing they are in good hands! Since I’m currently on the job market, I have lots of time to care for your pet(s). I have open availability and am highly flexible and responsive to your schedule. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I am very physically agile, organized, and attentive to the behavior of every dog I walk.
“Michael was terrific! He took amazing care of our 3 dogs (and our house) while we were out of the country. He was so communicative and sent pictures every day???. We were able to relax since we were confident they were in great hands. The dogs really took to him and seemed so happy which was so wonderful ?? as leaving them behind has typically been a source of stress and worry. HIGHLY recommended!”
“Megan took such great care of our dog. She provided updates and sent pictures while we were away. Our dog loved her too! Megan responded quickly & helped us out when we needed last minute help. Thank you, Megan!”
“Our pups couldn't be happier meeting Adelyn. Our shy Labrador warmed up to her within minutes! We received lots of photos and updates. Will definitely be working with Adelyn again soon.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pasadena
Emma was great with our pups! She kept our 4-month pup and our 12-year old entertained. They can be a handful since that puppy has so much energy and loves playing with our old lady, but she mostly wants to sleep and not be bothered. We are so glad we found Emma and we will definitely book her again :)
We are so pleased with Amy. We first used her 3 years ago and were impressed with the care she gave our senior dog. Fortunately she was available to watch her again this year. Amy sends regular updates and photos. She stayed at our house for the week and left it in beautiful condition. She updated me on rain - or lack of - for my garden, suggesting I water it since there was less rain than forecasted. Everything about Amy’s house/dog sitting is positive.
Danielle won over our somewhat cranky 15-yr-old Stanley with patience and kindness. She regularly communicated with us during her 2-day/overnight stay. We were able to really enjoy our time away, knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely try to book with Danielle in the future!
Adelyn was amazing! We left our puppy girl at home for a week by herself. Even though I know she loved having the house to herself, she also had so much fun when Adelyn came to visit. Adelyn sent videos, pictures and notes everyday. We would 100% use Adelyn again.
Keeara was honestly so great and gave me all the reassurance I needed for my two pups. It’s always hard for me to leave my dogs in the care of somebody else because I’m so particular and very paranoid about it overall but I definitely trust her and wouldn’t hesitate to let her watch my dogs again which says a lot. Her communication was a 10/10 even when an emergency in her own family came up she still prioritized the care of my dogs as well. Thank you so much again!! So grateful for her care.
Owen was amazing! He took great care of our two dogs Tasha and Sadie! He was very professional and communicative while we were away allowing us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Owen again!
AMAZING! Abigail respected the property, follow instructions, she was the sweetest and so patients with my doggos. Truly grateful for her kindness, and for being available last minute. Let me know everything, and comunicate very good with me. 100% recommended!
Tessa was great! She was our first dogsitter for our four year old bernedoodle and we were nervous leaving her for a spring break vacation, but she and Tessa really bonded and had a fun time together. Tessa stayed in our house for 5 nights, was very responsive to texts, and took great care of our dog Bebe, taking her for walks, playing with her, feeding her, and cuddling with her. She also sent some adorable pictures so we knew Bebe was in good hands. We hope to have her dogsit for us again soon! Would definitely recommend her to others looking for a responsible and caring dogsitter.
Camryn did a great job with our dogs! We will definitely try to work with her again in the future if her schedule allows. She was caring, provided photos during her time with them, and made us feel comfortable that our dogs were well taken care of in our absence. I would definitely recommend her to others.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pasadena is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $65 per night. 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 7,961 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 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.
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
- 91% 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.
