“10/10, I would absolutely book with her again! She made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend her to others.”

“Rebecca was available last minute (within 4 days of our trip) to visit our 2 cats. She fed them, played, and took pictures for us. She was reliable and available by phone, was quick to respond. She even brought in a large package we had delivered and checked on a hair straightener I was concerned I left plugged in. She was easy going and we would book her again!”

“Melissa is simply amazing! I was very worried about leaving my 3 cats bc it’s been a while since we’ve left them due to them having some health issues, which has since resolved. I am a helicopter cat-Mom and messaged her several times to make changes and she was so gracious and understanding. Melissa even came over to our house a few days before leaving to get reacquainted with them. She really put my mind at ease while we were away and I could not be more thankful. She took the time to give them some wet food and even made sure my finicky female ate some wet food and she even cleaned the litter boxes, which was unexpected, but appreciated. I know that I don’t have to worry (as much) when I leave them because I truly know they are in great hands. Melissa is such a blessing! Thank you again for being so sweet and kind to my babies and treating them as if they were your own. You’re the best!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Jaclyn! She took amazing care of our dogs, Hallie and Gunner, during her drop-in visits. Jaclyn was always punctual and kept in great contact with us, providing thoughtful updates that gave us real peace of mind. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them with the same care and attention as if they were her own. Hallie and Gunner were so happy and relaxed thanks to her. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Jaclyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver!”

About: Reliable, Attentive Care — I Treat Your Pets Like Family Hi, I’m Stacey. I’m new to Rover, but not new to caring deeply and responsibly for dogs. I recently lost my own dog after many years, and that experience reinforced how important patience, comfort, and dependable care truly are. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with a pet you love. I follow routines closely, take instructions seriously, and pay attention to the small details that help pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with senior dogs, anxious pets, or dogs who need a calm, steady presence. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands. Schedule availability: Currently, my availability is during weekday (elementary) school hours (8am - 2pm), ensuring dedicated attention for each visit giving focus and unrushed care. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow each pet’s routine and instructions closely. I ensure leashes, doors, and gates are secure, monitor behavior and comfort, and give calm, attentive care. I respect my clients’ homes and provide clear updates and photos after every visit.

“Megan put our minds to ease the first time we met her. She is professional and she is very thorough in obtaining the information that is needed regarding what we expected as far as pet sitting Bogie. Bogie is a friendly dog, most times, but there are a few people he has been known to 'shun'... Megan wasn't one of them... He took to her right away...and from her description in her texts to us of his behavior when she pet sat for him, he was being his same old silly self. We hope to be able to use Megan for pet sitting whenever we have a need for a Pet Sitter. Very pleased and happy with our Rover experience utilizing Megan as our Pet Sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover, a mom, and someone who genuinely enjoys taking care of animals. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life, so I understand that they aren’t “just pets”… they’re family. ❤️ I’m offering drop-in visits and general pet care for people who need a little extra help keeping their furry family members happy, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away or busy. During a visit, I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, attention and cuddles, litter box or other pet-area cleanup, medication if needed, and general tidying up after your pet. I’m also happy to follow your normal routines and instructions because I know every animal has their own little quirks and preferences. My goal is simple: you should be able to leave your home knowing your pets are being cared for by someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. I’m a mom trying to build a little extra income while helping other pet parents at the same time. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your animals, and I’ll treat that responsibility seriously. I’m not afraid of the less glamorous parts of pet care either. Messes happen. I’ll clean up after your pets and leave their space the way I’d want someone to leave mine. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, some playtime and affection, a fresh litter box, or simply someone to make sure everything is okay, I’d love to help. 🐾 I work full-time and also have a part-time job, so my regular availability is primarily evenings and weekends. That said, I understand that pets don’t always operate on a convenient schedule! I’m happy to work with you to make time for drop-in visits when needed, including checking in, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, and giving your pets the attention and care they need. My goal is to be dependable and flexible while working around my schedule. Pet safety is always my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routines carefully, while paying close attention to their behavior, surroundings, food, water, and overall well-being. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, and I’ll never take unnecessary chances with your pet’s safety. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away.

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: Ever since I can remember I’ve always had animals in the house. When I was little I started with fish, reptiles, and small animals but as I’ve gotten older I’ve also taken on cats, dogs, birds, etc. Seeing as I’ve looked after many beloved pets throughout my life I’ve also taken on the challenge of learning to administer supplements and medication to the ones that need it. I’ve bottle fed and taken care of newborn puppies and kittens since I was small, and although I’m not a credentialed trainer, pride myself in knowing that I’ve been very good at training the animals I’ve had throughout my life. I’ve owned many breeds of cats and dogs ranging from extra big to extra small and including all stages of life. I’d love to be the one you choose to take care of your furry friends needs. Because of my job, I don’t get off at a certain time on weekdays so I have my availability set to every 8+ hours. I don’t always get off late but it depends on the day so sometimes I’m available more often, and others I’m not. Just to play it safe I’ve limited my hours on these days. As for weekends I’m normally available all day so as long as I don’t already have plans to attend to I can be free whenever. I always make sure to consider the clients comments/ requests when caring for their pets so every situation is different but either way I always take care of each animal to the best of my ability.

“Jacob went above and beyond for our dogs. We were going out of town for a couple nights and have never used a service like this. We had some reservations and anxiety about how the process but Jacob put all those concerns to rest. He promptly answered my request and by the end of the day we already had our meet and greet. My husband and I have two female dogs, an 8 year old Doberman and a 3 year old hound mix. The 3y/o is a rescue and is very timid around new people, especially men. She warmed up to Jacob faster than she has to any new person she has ever met. Both of our girls require medicine administration and he did so without any issue. One of the best parts of our trip were the thoughtful and detailed messages we would receive from Jacob after each check in he did with our dogs. I especially loved the picture included in the updates. He really did treat our girls as his own and his passion for animals is evident in the work that he does. We will most definitely be using his services again. It is my pleasure to recommend Jacob for any of your pet sitting needs.”

I couldn't ask for a more ideal kitty- sitter than Aidan. He was very reliable & spent extra time when needed. He was a great communicator & very helpful when i was concerned my kitty might be unwell. She is a real scaredy cat, but he was able to find & befriend her easily - that can be quite a challenge! I would hope that Aidan will watch her again!

Maria was phenomenal! She provided care for my 4 cats for a week while I was on vacation, and I couldn't be happier! 2 of the 4 cats are very skittish and usually aren't seen by the sitter in the past. Not only did he see them on several occasions, but she also sent me pics! The other 2 cats seemed to enjoy her company as well from the pics she sent. She even got to give my grumpy, older cat chin scratches!

Abigail was amazing with checking in on my pets while I was away, especially with my kitty not being the most social around other people. She is trustworthy, attentive to details and did everything I asked of her including watering my plants, feeding my turtle, checking my cat’s automatic litter box, putting cat tv on for my kitty, even throwing away and putting our trash out for the collectors and ensuring she left the house clean and secured. I highly recommend her and will be using her again for future care!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pasadena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pasadena is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 12,165 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
