Amy took great care of our pets while we were away. She left diligent notes and took a ton of pictures, and our cat and dog really seemed to love her. Thanks Amy!

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!

Limari is a wonderful cat sitter. Our kitty is older and needs a bit of extra care, and Limari handled all the details perfectly. She sent thorough updates and was very timely with her visits as well. We look forward to having her watch our kitty again, and highly recommend her as a pet sitter!

Sahirah was a lifesaver. After our sitter canceled last minute, she jumped in and took excellent care of our cats for a full week. We received daily photos and updates, and it was clear they were in great hands. We will absolutely book her again.

Jessica was quick and easy to communicate with, both before confirming a booking and throughout her time with our kitties. She always gave great and informative updates and provided lots of pictures, as well as pets, cuddles, and playtime for the cats! We felt very comfortable entrusting our cats to her during our trip.

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: ***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!

Alejandro took such good care of our little Mango! He not only made sure to feed him and clean his litter box as requested; he also spent plenty of time playing with Mango and keeping him company while we were away. We’ll definitely be in touch the next time Mango needs a catsitter!

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: I am excellent with dogs, perceptive to their needs, can be very active when walking/hiking, and consistently great at training our furry friends. By welcoming only one dog family at a time, I'm able to provide a personalized experience centered around your pup's routine, comfort, and happiness. Your pup will receive my full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment where I can focus on their individual needs. From adventurous walks and hikes to patient guidance, training reinforcement, and plenty of affection, every stay is tailored to help your dog feel safe, happy, and loved. Simply the Best Dog Care Around - Experienced. I am an active, reliable university professor who works from home with 40+ years of experience caring for dogs. Dogs have always been cherished members of my family. I've cared for puppies, seniors, energetic adventurers, shy or anxious dogs, and those requiring daily medication. - Medications & Special Diets. I am experienced in administrating medication, as my own beloved dog battled leukemia during the last year of his life, giving me firsthand experience administering medication and providing compassionate, attentive care. - Training. Skilled in training dogs (even the oldest of dogs) with new tricks, walking skills (how not to pull or be reactive to other dogs/humans), and am well-versed at how to reassure pups with separation anxiety. Exclusive, Concierge-Style Experience, with Individualized Care - One-on-one Care. I only accept one dog client at a time. Your pup will receive my full attention throughout their stay without the stress, competition, or unpredictability that can come with larger boarding environments. - Every dog is different. I take the time to learn what makes your pup feel safe, relaxed and at home, whether that's long walks, relaxing beside me while I work from home, extra play sessions, or simply lots of affection and companionship. - P.s. I give a mean doggy massage. Plenty of Updates - I have a knack for taking the cutest dog pics and will make sure to keep your mind at ease while I am watching over your fur baby by sending plenty of photos of them having fun on our adventures around town and hanging at home. My goal is for you to travel/work with complete peace of mind, knowing that your fur baby is being cared for with attention to the finest details. I work from home as a professor and live a very active lifestyle, including daily walks, weekly hikes, and bike rides. My dog clients love all of the activity, exploration and love and affection I provide. I am a huge fan of giving belly rubs to furry friends, and I have perfected my doggy massage which makes them melt. Your dog will get filtered water, plenty of love and belly rubs, on leash walks & hikes, and on-time and appropriate meals and medication. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my highest priorities. Because I only host one client at a time, I can closely monitor your pup throughout the day and tailor everything—from walks to playtime to rest—to their individual needs. My home offers plenty of cozy places to nap and relax, along with a sunny outdoor area where your dog can safely enjoy fresh air, sniff around, or lounge in the sunshine. Dogs are never left unattended outdoors. I'm just a short walk from Garfield Park and only minutes driving from Lacy Park, where I love taking my dog guests for walks, hikes, and adventures in nature. For every car ride, I use a rear-seat dog hammock and canine seat belts to keep your pup safe and comfortable while I drive them around town. I'm also happy to schedule a Meet & Greet before your booking so everyone—especially your dog—can feel confident it's the right fit.

About: I love animals and this is fun for me. I own a business that allows me to work from home and can be available to take care of your pets on short notice. I grew up taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles and even rodents. Like I said, I work from home. So I have total flexibility and control over my schedule, and can make anyone's unique schedules work with mine. Safety is my highest concern. No door will be left open, no hazards will be left around, I will follow your instructions to a T and make sure your pet is safe and happy :)

If I could give Mari ten stars (or fifty), I would. She is absolutely great. She goes above and beyond. She clearly loves and understands animals, and she bonded with my cat during her introductory visit. My only concern is that my cat might prefer Mari to me henceforth (I'm only half joking.). I am sure she would be fine with dogs too. Hire her and you can be certain your pet is extremely well cared for while you are away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - South Pasadena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Pasadena on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 9,320 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across South Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
