Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In South Pasadena, CA

About: =ABOUT ME= Hi there! I'm Kyle and I love both cats and dogs! Growing up, I helped raise a pitbull puppy and grew up with cats in the house. My wife grew up with a bull terrier as well as two adorable shih tzus. Since then, we have both dog-sat and cat-sat for friends and neighbors. I've cared for many different types of dogs, big and small. Together with my wife, we also had 2 cats of our own, one of which we found as a stray one winter's night, and another we adopted as a playful kitten. = PET CARE= Now that I no longer have pets, instinctually, I'd love to care for your pet and give them all the love in the world! It's a soft-spoken, gentle, and peaceful household and I look forward to loving your pets, understanding them, and helping them thrive! While I do all the dog-walking and drop-in visits, my wife occasionally takes walks around the neighborhood with me, she works full-time from home and so is naturally a part of all the caring and snuggling of your fur babies whenever they board with us. I am a full-time sitter, so I am always able to look out for your pets needs whatever they may be. Please note that I have family time on Sundays between the hours of 3.30pm - 8pm and will be slow to respond and unavailable for drop-offs/pick-ups during that time. However, exceptions can be made if agreed upon in the booking. I live in a peaceful, cosy, and tidy 2-bedroom apartment. Even though we no longer have our own pets, I have a cat tower that doubles as a scratching post, as well as bigger windows that pets love looking out of. There are lots of cozy nooks for your pet to feel comfy in our home. We love cleanliness and only board one pet at a time (or two only if both pets are bonded) so we can clean / wipe / vacuum the apartment before the next pet arrives. Our neighborhood is also very conducive for dog-walking. Feel free to bring your pet's favorite bed or toys or scratcher (if applicable), we want them to feel comfy, and happy! Do note that if we notice that certain parts of your pet's toys might pose a danger to your pet due to wear and tear, we will inform you and remove the toy for the safety of your pet. Even though we maintain a clean, organized environment, please also understand that sometimes, small toys may get lost and found again days later. All boarding pets need to be on a monthly or daily flea/tick preventative and should annually be checked for parasites through a fecal exam/smear.

“Joy did an outstanding job caring for our furry friends while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better person to ensure that our cats were fed, hydrated, and comfortable. She went above and beyond in taking care of our cats' needs and addressing other important matters. Additionally, she diligently checked our mail and promptly alerted us when unexpected events occurred, such as the fire alarm. Joy consistently demonstrated her attentiveness and responsiveness. Every aspect of her care for our cats and our house exhibited her dedication and professionalism. We are grateful for her reliability, thoroughness, and the peace of mind she provided us. She genuinely cared for our cats and our home, and we enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in search of a responsible and compassionate pet sitter. We are eagerly looking forward to booking her services again soon!”

“Grace followed our instructions perfectly and kept us well updated. She is a delightful person and we’re so glad we found her to keep our fur baby safe and happy. Will definitely call on her again!”

“If I could leave Celeste a 10 star review I would! She’s such a kind and caring pet sitter, who will always do her best to make sure you’re totally comfortable leaving your pets in her care. I appreciate how attentive she is to all of my kitties. My cats love her so much! I’m able to go away and know my “kids” are in good hands and I can enjoy my getaway. One of the most important thing for me was her excellent communication with me on a daily basis even if we don’t touch base via text and sending me pictures of my kids. You will not regret hiring her as your pet sitter or as we told her you’re an important part of our family now. Thank you!”

“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!”

“Jessica A. was prompt, professional, and communicated clearly throughout. The photos of GiGi were comforting and reassuring. We’ll absolutely be using Jessica’s services anytime GiGi needs a walk or an overnight stay!”

“Very reliable and took such great care of our elderly cat. Really thankful we could rest easy while we were away. Would absolutely book again :)”

“LiJuan did a wonderful job caring for my cat Haiku while I was on vacation. Although she only was scheduled for 3 short daily visits, she made effort to build trust with Haiku, who of course was hiding. She also did all the other duties as asked - scooping the litter box, reporting that he urinated (because he had a health issue in the past) and giving him fresh clean water and food. I can tell my cat was well cared for when I returned. She also brought a package in for me, which was thoughtful. I definitely recommend LiJuan for cat sitting, as she is trustworthy and conscientious.”

“April always does a fantastic job caring for our cats! She is sweet, professional, and I love knowing our cats are well taken care of when we are out of town.”

“This is our first time using Rover and meeting Lifan. The whole experience was absolutely first class. We met Lifan a few days before our trip and we introduced her to Hargrove, our sweet old lab mix pup. She took fantastic care of him and after each visit we got an update in the form of a note and a few pix of our boy in the garden, having a bite to eat or out on a walk. We were never in doubt that he was receiving superb care and attention and would not hesitate to use both the Rover app and Lifan again. Thank you.”

About: I’ve been an animal person since I was 7. In our house there always been some cat who fully believed it owned the house and graciously allowed us to live in it. 4 years ago life upgraded me to the world of dogs when I started dating a guy with a big rescue pup. My Watson taught me the true meaning of loyalty, peeing a little in joy, and strategic snack theft. I’m also a registered Pasadena Humane volunteer, so your pet gets someone who knows how to handle shy pups, energetic zoomers, cuddle lovers, senior sweethearts, and every personality in between. I take safety seriously and affection even more seriously. If your dog likes people who speak fluent “treat,” “walk,” and “butt scratch,” we’ll be a great match. My job is remote with a flexible schedule that allows me to take care of my 7 yo son and your furry kids. I am almost always available to take your pet home and have a lot of possibilities to visit them in your house. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in the green and safe neighborhood of Pasadena. I have a fenced balcony for the fresh air and very cozy, walkable surroundings.

“My partner and I had last minute travel plans and were in a pinch finding a friend to pet sit. I messaged Kelly last minute and she responded very quickly and was able to care for our kitties while we were gone. It was a such a relief, and as always Kelly did a stellar job keeping our minds at ease while we were away from our animals. Kelly is my first choice pet sitter each time we travel. Thanks so much, Kelly! 😻”

About: Welcome! I’m Gina, a music educator with a big heart for cats and dogs. I’ve been around and had dogs for most of my life and have been a cat parent for the past 8 years, so I understand how important routine, patience, and trust are when caring for animals. As a teacher, I’m naturally attentive, calm, and detail-oriented — qualities that carry over into how I care for pets. I take pride in making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved, as if their owner never left. Whether your pet has specific feeding routines, play preferences, or needs a little extra reassurance, I’m happy to tailor my care to what works best for them. I’m currently offering weekday evening walks and pet sitting as well as weekend walks and pet sitting. After getting to know you and your pet, I’m open to discussing house sitting ◡̈ I want to honor and reinforce the routines you have in place in your own home. I’m happy to accommodate whatever needs and routines make your pet feel safe and cared for. If driving your animal somewhere is needed, I have a clean and reliable CRV that can accommodate your pets comfortably.

“Anna has been reliable and trustworthy. She drops in with our 2 month old pug Luna multiple times a week. It’s been great knowing Luna is in good hands.”

About: What sets me apart is my ability to safely meet the needs of high-energy dogs. I provide structured walks and e-skate–assisted exercise (when appropriate) to help dogs burn energy in a controlled, positive way. I’m attentive, patient, and calm, and I tailor care to each dog’s age, temperament, and fitness level. I focus on safety, consistency, and clear communication so pets feel secure and owners feel confident. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, as I have a highly flexible schedule and can prioritize walks, exercise, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day and week. This allows me to be reliable with timing, adapt to pets’ needs, and accommodate both recurring care and last-minute requests. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine closely so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get proper exercise and enrichment, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I keep the home clean, handle litter or waste, monitor behavior and health, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.
