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!
“Narin was wonderful with our 2 cats Samson and Delilah. She came to meet them at the last second before our last minute out of country trip which meant a lot to us. She was truly interested in our sweet animals and that calmed our nerves as our cats have never been alone before. We came home to happy cats and thats all that mattered to us. Narin was attentive with her detailed and thoughtful notes every visit and she captured some great pics that made us laugh after multiple overseas flights when we were really missing our babies. Narin did a terrific job following all detailed instructions too which was an added bonus, Came home to no troubles. House not even smelly after 9 days of poop. Thank you so much Narin!”
“We couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter. Ayman takes such amazing care of our cats Finn and Yoshi and always goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and comfortable. We have booked her multiple times, and every experience has been wonderful. We are able to truly enjoy our time away knowing she is taking care of everything, from feedings and playtime to all the little details like cleaning messes & vacuuming. We always come home to two very content cats and a spotless home. Ayman is reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We are so grateful to have found her!”
“Audrey and Kyle are the best cat sitters. Each time I leave my Randy with them, they give lots of love and care to Randy so he can make him home all time. Randy loves Audrey and Kyle I can tell!!”
“Emily was very good with our two cats. She was prompt and professional, clear in communication, shared lots of photos, and took time to clean up the areas around the litter boxes. Would recommend.”
About: I have been pet sitting for family and friends for quite a few years back home. I have just recently moved to this area for school and am hoping to use this platform to keep caring for animals! I am passionate about giving senior pets the best care that I can possibly give. I'm also willing to work with puppies/kitties! I am a full time student and a volunteer at a nonprofit organization! I am available every Friday-Sunday at any time. From Monday-Thursday, I am available before 10am and after 3pm. I am also willing to work at night if that is most convenient for you! I am a very cautious person and will take all necessary precautions and actions to ensure that your pet's safety is always my top priority!
About: I am a responsible, reliable, and caring dog lover with experience handling dogs of different sizes and breeds. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love going on walks, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am punctual, patient, and attentive to each dog's personality and needs. I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and make their walks fun, safe, and enjoyable! I am a freelance artist and writer, so my schedule is very flexible and it is relatively easy for me to find time for pet sitting and walks. I love long walks and a company of a nice doggie (or a kitty), so taking your pet on a stroll or keeping it company at home will be a joy to me. In addition, I am responsible and punctual.
“Thank you Albert and Catherine for your drop in visit with Danny. I was relieved to know you played ball with him, picked up after him, gave him fresh water and even pulled in my dumpster!!! You both are amazing. I surely will hire you again!!!”
About: I have years of experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, playtime, walks, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I care for pets like they're my own — with patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love. I work full-time during the week, but I'm especially flexible on Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends, and I'm happy to coordinate before/after-work visits to fit your pet's routine. I follow your instructions closely — including feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines — and I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and other areas secure. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and will let you know right away if I notice anything unusual. You can also expect regular photo and video updates throughout the stay, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have raised multiple dogs of my own; both small and big. Lots of experience, supportive, and understanding. I have flexible hours. You can rely on me to ensure safety and comfortability for your dogs. I look forward to meeting! I’m currently a college student with flexible hours! I am available for walks and check ins at any time. I am also available for overnight stays for those vacations worries! Your home, your rules! I’ll ensure to follow directions when caring for your little ones. You’ll receive updates throughout the visit and I will reach out for ant clarification! I have a gated community which includes surveillance and a security guard for safety. Parking garage and a back yard are included in the premises.
“Brandi was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and our kitties’ first time meeting someone new without us so they were super shy but she was very patient with them and always prioritized their comfort. She was always on time, had great communication, and send pictures. Would absolutely book her again!”
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.
About: As a fourth-year medical student aspiring to work in the Emergency Department, I have been trained in treating minor-to-major wounds and recognizing emergencies in patients such as heatstroke and poisonings. Though I find genuine fulfillment in caring for human beings, I have always loved caring for animals beginning with my two cats as a 10-year-old as well as visiting my cousins' German shepherd and golden retriever. I now care for two new female cats who are 2 and 4 years old. I have only experienced dog care in short stints, bathing and walking my friends' dogs if they went out of town. Though I would love to get more hands-on experience caring for dogs. Currently, I am in my fourth and final year of medical school which I have realized has actually provided a decent amount of free time compared to the prior 3 years. For this reason, I wanted to pick up caring for pets around the neighborhood on a part-time basis. I would likely be able to care for dogs and cats around 3-4 times per week with either frequent check-ins or overnight stays. I think preparation will be my best friend as I know pets have their own personalities, body language, and habits. Unfortunately, I do not think I'll be able to care for pets in my home as I am not sure how my cats act around dogs. However, if entering owners' homes I will strive to follow any rules and keep your pet happy!
“Amanda was very helpful and accommodating while taking care of my two cats. She always sent photo updates and would let me know of any issues. She would try to plan ahead for the visits and was also patient while working with me to troubleshoot any unexpected issues. I would definitely have Amanda take care of my boys again and would recommend her to others”
About: My own dog is reactive so she tends to get nervous with loud noises and is very wary of dogs. So, throughout the years, I’ve learned to notice specific tells and avoid things that can set her off. I’m also very familiar with dogs that tend to pull as I’ve walked the dogs of multiple friends and family before. I currently have two dogs of my own with one being a toy poodle and black labrador/shepherd mix. Both dogs are completely different from each other as their temperaments differ in which one is dog selective, vocal, and prefers people. The toy poodle is very social with people and doesn’t mind other dogs and is fairly relaxed. I have also done cat sitting when my cousin goes on vacation where I do daily check ins to her home. I am currently looking for a film related job as I begin to learn about my major so I have lots of free time. I am usually available in the mornings to noon. I can even do a bit more after noon. However, I do like to maintain a balance with my own dogs and caring for other people’s pets. Nights are possible mainly on the weekends, preferably Saturdays but depending on my schedule I can be flexible. In a clients home, I would make sure to quickly open or close the door so no pet can rush out and even before doing that I can make sure they are being distracted so they won’t get loose. This still applies to a home with a fence because cats are lithe creatures. I also like to make sure to ask the client if the pet has any behavioral concerns that I should keep in mind and if there is any supplements they have that they would like me to implement into their pet’s meals. Energy levels is always something that I like to inquire about as well so I know what to expect.
“Sara is wonderful! We have a pair of unique foster cats that Sara looked after while we were away. Even from the initial meeting, they took to her! She was so thoughtful and communicative in her care. She really went above and beyond. She shared wonderful photos of them both. We came home to healthy & happy cats. We greatly appreciate her and hope to work with her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of pets for the last 20 years. I have been a house dog sitter for two German shepherds. I have also taken care of a tiny dogs while’s I’ve done babysitting and house sitting while owners are away on trips. I ha a 13 year old Pommix (my first baby). He has 2 kitten sisters (5yrs and 3 months). I recently retired from teaching elementary school for 30 years and would love to spend more time caring for furbabies 🥰. I would enjoy dropping in to play or walk pets and board pets on my home. I am a retired teacher. I spent 30 years in the classroom. I would like to work part-time caring for pets, walking them, as well as pet sitting when their parents are away. I have a fenced in yard so dogs can run and play. I also have a patio being built on my porch for cats who like the outside. My neighborhood is a perfect place to walk dogs as well as stroll cats in their cat stroller.
About: I was raised with 13 dogs and caring for animals since age three, I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, training, rescues, and giving loving, attentive care. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I work part-time and remotely. I grew up on a farm and have always loved caring for animals every day. I really don't know a day that doesn't involve taking care of an animal :) I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, training reinforcement, cuddles, and keeping them calm, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
Joy was the perfect cat-sitter for Louie. She kept her fed and watered, and showered her with lots of petting. And, the litter box was clean when I arrived home. Joy also did a great job with my plants and bird feeder. She gave me incredible peace of mind while on a business trip, and made sure Louie was well cared for.
Emily is simply the best! She’s taken care of our four cats for extended periods which includes one very difficult cat and treats them all lovingly. She’s very communicative in updates and will go the extra mile to ensure not only the pets but the entire home stays in good order.
Don’t look further, hire Olivia. And please read this review 🙏🏽 Not only has Olivia taken care of my sweet baby Piffy for the past year with the upmost care and expertise, but she took her to the vet and sat in the room with her when she had to be put down after developing female leukemia. She FaceTimed me because I was states away and couldn’t be with my baby in her last moments. 🐱🪽🥺 And THEN… she drove her back to my apartment for me to say my goodbyes to her when I got home…. Like are you serious? An angel is an understatement. If I ever get another pet I will never hire anyone else. Olivia deserves the world. Please bless her and hire her forever. I can never thank her enough. 🥺💖 Piffy loves Olivia forever. 🐱🪽💖🐾
We absolutely love Camille! She genuinely cares about our cat and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. We have been using her for years and trust her completely with both our cat and our home, which gives us such peace of mind when we're away. She's punctual, tidy, communicative, and thoughtful. If anything comes up, she asks questions rather than making assumptions, which we really appreciate. It's clear that she takes her responsibilities seriously and truly cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their pets and home!
Alyce took great care of our cat while we were away! She came by the day before to meet him and go through the instructions. She was on time for every visit and did everything we asked. She was very communicative throughout and always updated us with pictures. Our cat can be shy but it looked like he warmed up to Alyce. We will book with Alyce again the next time we go away.
Thea is a wonderful person who is absolutely reliable, responsible, and who goes out of her way to make sure our cats are well cared for while we are away. We love how well she knows our fluffs by now and what they respond to best. Thank you so much for consistently great work!
Joanna went above and beyond to make sure my cat Stevie was taken care of and happy! You can tell she has a natural energy that makes animals feel comfortable, she was professional and communicative with me, and she proved to be exceedingly thoughtful throughout the process. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!!
Charmaine was great with our senior girlie while we were out of town! They did all of her favorite activities together like laps around the house and sitting on the catio. We got plenty of pictures to make us miss her a little less until we got back. We’ll definitely be booking with Charmaine again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in South Pasadena is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $39 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.

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 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.

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.

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.
