“Jessica was great at looking after my three cats and was able to come up with a quick solution when one of my cats initially refused to eat. My cats seemed to be very comfortable around her.”
About: Hi! My name is Maggie, and I’m a junior at UCSB studying biology. I’ve grown up around all kinds of pets and have always loved caring for animals. I currently have two dogs of my own, Baby, a Yorkie, and Lexi, a Golden Retriever. They are definitely opposite ends of the dog spectrum but I love them so much and am very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! I also have previous dog sitting experience and understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m hardworking, energetic, responsible, and detail oriented. I love being outdoors, hiking, and going on walks, so I’d be more than happy to bring your furry family member along for some exercise and adventure. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away! I’m currently home from college for the next couple of weeks, so my schedule is completely open and very flexible! I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around whatever schedule is best for you and your pet. Whether it’s walks, dropins, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’d be more than happy to help! I have two dogs of my own who I feed, walk, play with, and care for every day, so pet care is already a big part of my routine. My little Yorkie, Baby, even sleeps with me every night! I’m very attentive to pets’ routines and make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and are always in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and will follow any specific instructions carefully so their pet can stay comfortable with their normal routine while they’re away.
About: For nearly two decades, my neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets when they are away. I have extensive experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Not only can I take your high-energy dog for a long walk or run, I will also slow things down to give your elderly pet the time and attention they need. I’m known for never refusing a belly rub and always loving your pets like my own. I am also happy to check up on aquarium dwellers (like my client who has goldfish!) I am a professional dancer and summer is the slow season, so I have flexible hours that can fit anyone’s busy day. I am available for daytime check-ins, walks, and daycare any day of the week. My schedule easily allows for pet pickups/drop offs and house sitting. I am home most of the day to keep your dog company. If I am out of the house it usually will only be for a couple hours and I have a very friendly dog who will comfort your dog in my absence. Because I am home most of the time, I can do exercise and potty breaks as frequently as you would like.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a life without pets!! I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs and would be happy to care for your furry loved ones! I work with 2 nonprofit dog rescue organizations called “Its Yogi’s House” and “PawsforLife” on a regular basis. I am passionate about all animals and have experience with all different types and sizes of dogs.🐾 I am in school part time right now and have a very flexible schedule for whoever’s furry friends will need care! I am happy to accommodate any pets needs as well. I will carefully follow any instructions given and care for your pets as if they were my own! I am willing and happy to accommodate any dog or cats needs.
“Sahirah did a fantastic job watching my fur babies while I was out of town. We did a meet and greet before the actual booking so she could meet my little monsters. During the booking she sent me updates and pictures which are always appreciated since I miss my babies when I’m away. She even got my shy boy Cat to come out from hiding, which is a huge accomplishment!! Would recommend her and hope to book her in the future!!!”
“Second time I’ve hired Lori to take care of our cat who is on a regiment of medications for his cancer. Lori puts my mind at ease with her excellent communication and consistent care. Thank you again!”
“April is sweet and good at taking care of pets. I trusted her to drop by my home and feed my cats. She is detailed and always notices anything that needs attention in my home. I would recommend her and reach out to her next time!”
About: ***UPDATE! Opening my profile up to new clients again after about a year, as I have some openings! Feel free to reach out with inquiries!*** I have had dogs my entire life, and what can I say — I just love them. I have cared for dogs for 20 years, and even spent a few years training dogs at the American Kennel Club (AKC). I rescued my own pup nearly 10 years ago, and rescued my cat ~5 years ago now-- and have since been equally obsessed with felines. They’re incredibly different animals, with their own way of looking at the world, both of which I respect. Over the years, I have walked and cared for many family's, friends’ and colleagues' dogs and cats of all ages, before opening my network to my neighborhood. ***Key Notes: - Currently, I am open for dog walking and dog/cat drop-ins. Please see all service options (including add-ons) in my profile and feel free to reach out with questions! - For 60-minute walks, depending on location, weather and your comfort level, I can take your pup(s) for a hike or trail-run nearby! - I have a range of experience, from energetic and exercise-craving dogs to elderly pups who require gentle care and a patient, slower speed. I love providing care for either side of the spectrum, and all in between. The bottom line is: the safety of your dog/dogs is my top priority. I know how it is. I’ve used Rover and other services for my dog and cat, and I understand how it feels to entrust another person with your fur-kiddo. I am patient and will give you whatever you need to feel comfortable with me as a caregiver — from answering questions, to a meet-and-greet (in person or on zoom), to picture updates all along the way. Every dog and cat is different, and I want to know what makes your beloved pet unique so I can provide him/her with the best care. I’m a good communicator — from medications to leash/sidewalk politics to triggers and everything in between, you can rest assured we will be on the same page. I have experience caring for all shapes and sizes: - Chihuahuas and Terriers (my dog Jack is a mix!) - Bernese Mountain Dogs - Border Collie Mixes - Shepherds - Staffy’s - Golden Retrievers - Shelties - Samoyeds - King Charles - Schnauzers - Norwegian Forest Cats - Tabbies I am happy to take on puppies/kittens and can integrate any training you might be working on with your fur-kiddo. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate most walks and drop-ins depending on your needs. Just shoot me a request and I’ll get back to you right away. I treat everyone’s home with the same respect I expect at my own. I also take privacy very seriously. I am always happy to do meet-and-greets at a public park (or similar) before services. Again, I get it — you're trusting someone new in your home and with your animals. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible!
“Limari has been great with my new little pup! She understands his routine, takes good care of him, and safely puts him back in his crate after each visit. So glad to have Limari help out when I can't be there!”
About: I grew up with animals, have cat and dog sat for friends for years. I also have experience with fish, lizards, snakes, frogs, etc. I always send pictures and make sure the details are right! Also my name is Alex - Rover won't let me change it ; ) Hi! My name is Alex. I am a writer and filmmaker with a flexible schedule and often work from home. Happy to stop by once or to build a longer dynamic with your pet and create a routine. I always make sure they are comfortable and happy and engaged. How varies depending on the pet! But I like to take it slow and make sure they are comfortable with me and know me.
“We always rely on Shelby to look after our three cats while we are away. She really cares for them and they all love it when she visits them! I have a lot of peace of mind traveling because they are in such good hands.”
“Kyle was invaluable by looking after our reptiles on short notice that we were able to have peace of mind while abroad without having to board then. We definitely would recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.”
“This was our second time hiring Kelly to care for our animals and yet again she was perfect! Her daily updates, competence, and responsibility made it easy to be away without worrying. Kelly is and will continue to be my first choice when trying to find someone -- I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Avery took amazing care of my dog & 2 cats while I went away. She sent personalized updates multiple times a day and cute photos as well! There was a big storm while I was away and she even went out of her way to tidy up my outdoor furniture and made sure everything was secured. Will absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
About: Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priority, and I believe the best way to achieve that is by keeping things as familiar as possible. I stick closely to your pet's normal routine - feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications - so they feel safe and at ease whether you are home or away. I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely patient with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and needs plenty of activity or is a more laid-back companion who just wants some quiet company, I adapt to whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand the extra care and patience they require. From managing medications and limited mobility to providing gentle companionship and a calm environment, I am experienced in making older dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well looked after. Communication is something I take seriously. I know how much you love your pet, and I never want you to wonder how they are doing. You can count on regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I am a freelancer who works from home with a flexible schedule, which means I am around the house throughout the day and can plan my entire routine around your pet's needs. When I am in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. My goal is simple - to make sure your furry family member feels loved, cared for, and right at home until you return. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. As a freelancer who works from home, I have the flexibility to structure my entire day around your pet's needs. Throughout the day I take regular breaks from work to check in, play, and spend quality time with any pets in my care. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought - they are always my priority. To give your pet the best possible care, I love learning as much about them as I can before we get started. Knowing their daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs helps me make sure they feel right at home. I also like to understand their personality - how they interact with other dogs and people, any quirks or preferences, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them the way you would
About: As a dog owner through my adolescence and a two-cat owner as an adult, I’ve learned to treat pets with the love and care that they unconditionally provide us! I’m on the taller side so I can work with dogs of basically all sizes haha! I currently work full time as a lab researcher, so my weekdays are mostly busy before 5 PM, but I’m more than happy to meet your furry friends after work! On the weekends I am essentially completely available and willing to care for your pets! I live in an apartment in which I am only allowed my cats, and they have tons of vertical space to watch over me and dedicated play times haha. Back at home with my parents is a comfortable and loving environment for my dog and he’s an old man who still gets healthy amounts of food, water, exercise, and play time everyday.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated cat mom with 4 cats of my own, so I truly understand how to care for cats with patience and love. I’m experienced with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to provide updates and photos during every visit. I’ll treat your pets like my own 💛 I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care on both weekdays and weekends. I make pet care part of my daily routine, so your pet will never feel rushed. I always ensure they receive consistent feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I carefully follow all instructions from pet parents, including feeding routines, medications, and any special care needs. I pay close attention to behavior and health, and I communicate regularly with updates, photos, and messages so you always feel at ease. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
This was the second time Priscilla took care of my cat, and in addition to doing a good job with feeding, playing, and litter, she really seemed to develop a bond with him. He can be bitey and I appreciated that she took this in stride. Her photos and timely updates were a joy to receive while I was away.
Alexis did an amazing job looking after Mouchey -- I could tell how well he was looked after by how perky and engaged he was in every picture sent to me, as well as his bounding energy after I returned. She was also super adaptable and communicative: unexpectedly, an ant invasion occurred while I was gone, and Alexis did an outstanding job of letting me know about the situation, moving Mouchey and his items to a separate room, and containing the problem. Even when Mouchey's food was compromised, she immediately went the extra mile and offered to run to the store for a new bag so that we could toss the old one out. Her quick responsiveness and meticulous documentation allowed me to call in additional resources to clean up the issue, and she was so helpful and accommodating during the whole ordeal. Much, much gratitude for all of your help! I absolutely endorse Alexis's professionalism and competence -- I cannot understate how impressive her conduct was during this booking.
Faye is all you could ask for in a pet sitter and more! She went above and beyond in caring for our two cats and we could not have felt more at ease knowing they were in her hands. She gave them attention, stimulation, and attended to all of their needs. She kept us well informed of how they were doing and even went to great lengths to battle the ant colony that decide to invade their food dishes while we were away. We are so grateful for all of Faye’s efforts and care and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
