“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!!”

“Owen was fantastic. Not only was he responsive but the dogs were well taken care of. They were walked, fed, played with, and given a lot of love. While he was watching the pups he also kept the house clean. I got daily pictures ands updates which helped to put my mind at ease about my pups while I was on vacation. I will use Owen again”

About: Hi! I’m a graduate student with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve owned and cared for dogs my whole life, giving me years of personal experience, and I love cats too! I’m flexible and gentle and I have experience exercising, feeding, cuddling, and caring for pets and want to help keep their routine happy and comfortable. I’m available for weekday afternoon and evening drop-in visits for feeding, exercise, and play. On weekends I’d love to keep them company at their house so they aren't spending hours alone! For scheduling, I am open after 6:00 pm Monday through Thursdays and for weekends that I am available I am free anytime after 1:00 Friday. I am very respectful of house rules, security, and routines. I double-check that gates are closed, leashes are secure, and doors are locked. You can always count on clear communication and photo updates of your pets while you're away.

About: Growing up as the youngest of five kids in a dog-loving family, I have spent my entire life surrounded by pets. From growing up alongside our family dogs to caring for my own 11 lb Poochon, dogs are an essential part of my daily routine. I also have experience providing dog walking for my friends and short-period pet care for my siblings' dogs whenever they needed a trusted hand. Outside of adopting dogs, my family has experience fostering rescue animals, including two energetic puppies and a gentle senior dog, ranging from small breeds to medium and large sizes. This hands-on experience taught me how to read dog body language, help pets adjust calmly to new environments, and handle diverse temperaments across all stages of life. I am experienced in maintaining precise feeding schedules, managing exact meal portions, providing gentle exercise, and offering attentive, 1-on-1 care. All outdoor time and walks in our neighborhood are strictly conducted on a leash for maximum safety. Whether your dog needs structured daily routines, fun play sessions, or specialized small-breed or senior attention, I will care for them with the exact same dedication, love, and safety I give my own! I dedicate focused, flexible time to dog walking and pet care around my routine. I have open availability to fit your pup's needs, offering dedicated 1-on-1 time, reliable check-ins, and consistent daily routines that match your dog's preferred sleeping schedule and energy levels, ranging from gentle, relaxed days to active play sessions Safety and health are my top priorities. All walks are strictly conducted on a leash, and I am meticulous about following your instructions for exact meal portions, dietary needs, and food or environmental allergies. I am also comfortable and precise when managing any medication schedules or special health requirements, ensuring your pet remains safe, comfortable, and well-cared for.

About: I took care of my family dogs and cats, my own dogs and cats, rabbits, and I've helped friends with their dog, mostly to feed and walk them too. I used to train our own puppies back in the day, but it's been awhile. I just retired from being an elementary school counselor, so I'm more available to walk and care for animals. My schedule is fairly open if I'm not on a travel trip, so I can walk dogs during the day most anytime and care for some animals when needed. We don't have furry pets, because my husband has an allergy. However, I want to be with dogs without him as much as possible. I do walk my neighbor's dog when she's not available.

About: I have been walking and sitting dogs for over 20 years, starting at age 11 when I realized dogs just made sense to me. I have owned hounds my whole life and currently share my home with a spirited beagle/jack russell mix named Tate who keeps me well-practiced with high-energy breeds. I recently lost our beloved 11-year-old foxhound mix Juniper, a gentle 70-pound soul who reminded me daily why this work matters. I am a firm believer in Cesar Millan's calm, assertive approach to dog handling. Dogs respond to confident, consistent leadership, and I bring that to every walk and every stay. I am comfortable with all breeds, large and small, and experienced administering medications and hands-on therapy when needed. I work from home in central Annapolis, which means flexible scheduling and plenty of attention for your dog during the day. Your pup is a member of your family and I always treat them like a member of my own. I own a design firm that I run out of my home. My work varies as a creative from video work to graphic design and more but it all comes from my home office located right next to my dog's food and water bowls (my hound dog Tate is currently asleep at my feet- exactly where he loves to be, and right where I love to have him). My workdays typically start around 7am and I work through the early afternoon, occasionally in the evenings. Though I have a full office setup, I also have a laptop that travels with me during house/dog sitting sessions if I need to be away for an extended period of time. As my work is on the creative spectrum, I can always adapt my schedule to fit around yours (and your pup's). Whether it's daily walks or stays with your dog, you can rest assured that they will be looked after with love, care, and the attention they deserve. I live in an apartment in Annapolis so we don't have a fenced in yard. Instead, I take my boy out in the neighborhood on short and extended walks and in the community dog park. Sniff spots and local trails are always on our schedule as our dog is high-energy so he thrives on long walks with lots of smells. Depending on your dog's needs and routine, I'm happy to take them on long walks in and around your neighborhood and parks they're comfortable with, or just playing with them in your own backyard. I'm also open to taking them further out to nature hikes and trails as long as you're comfortable with that. I tend to have Blue Buffalo, Newman's Own, and Charlee Bear treats at the ready (but of course that's up to your discretion) for good dogs and I always adhere to any diet or medication requirements to ensure a happy and healthy experience. I treat your dog like I treat my own and I've always had a great experience with every breed and personality.

About: I have owned dogs since I was 15 years old. As an adult, I've had large breed dogs for over 30 years. I spent the past 2.5 years volunteering at the local shelter walking dogs and providing care for all breeds, sizes and ages. I have also fostered dogs from puppies to seniors. I am Fear Free Certified, and it is my passion to help dogs feel loved and at ease. I work mostly from home, teaching online, so I can easily fit daily pet care into my schedule. I am happy to do overnights on weekends as long as I can also make trips home to let my own 2 pups out. I can also board 1 or 2 pets from the same family if they can stay in the same room (separate from my dogs). I have a special room set up for fosters and boarders that comfortably sleeps 1 or 2 small/medium dogs or 1 larger dog. They will be separated from my own pets during their stay, ensuring safety for everyone. The room has open space, a couch, dog bed and a crate if the dog is crate trained. I leave music on for them when I am not at home, and they get at least 3 walks a day. I have a fenced in yard and am active person. I love walking dogs, playing ball or frisbee in the yard and taking my own dogs on hikes or to the park. I also have some training experience and will help your pup to be their best self! If your dog stays in my home, I will accommodate their regular schedule as best I can while also caring for my own pets.

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.

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.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pasadena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Pasadena on Rover is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $66 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 7,975 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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:

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.
