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 was an awesome and communicative sitter! She took care of our two babies well, we got regular updates and photos. We came home to them safe and sound and happy, will definitely book again!”
“Skylah is a wonderful sitter and took such great care of my cat while I was away and provided amazing photos and kept me updated every day! I look forward to hiring her again!”
“Y'all -- trust me when I say Susan is just the best and you are leaving your pets in the best of hands with her. She went above and beyond all of my expectations, leaving such detailed notes for each visit and clearly cared about the wellbeing of my three cats so very much. She was always super prompt and communicative, wanting to know if there was anything else she could do. My guys warmed up to her right away, even the more skittish ones. She's a real animal lover. I could not recommend her more and will definitely be asking her to watch my cats again in the future! Thank you, Susan!”

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.
“I always trust that my cats will be healthy and happy when Lifan cares for them. I love to hear her reports about them. She has gotten to know their personalities and I appreciate that she takes the time to play with them. Yay!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog person who genuinely loves spending time with dogs — morning walks, fetch in the park, belly rubs on the couch, you name it. I know every pup has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow yours exactly as you've set it up. I'm reliable, tidy, and comfortable caring for your home while you're away. Your dog gets a companion who's actually excited to be there, and you get peace of mind knowing your home and your furry friend are in good hands. I'm a night owl, so evening walks and feedings are no problem. I'm home most of the day, so potty breaks and playtime fit right in. Evenings are for dinner, a walk, and winding down together. At night I'm right there in the house, so your pup gets to stay comfy in their own home with me nearby — no stress, no big changes to their routine. Since I offer overnight house sitting, all the care happens in your home — which I think is the best setup for your pet. I follow your instructions closely: feeding schedules, portion sizes, walk routes, medications, and any quirks or preferences you share with me. I keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel secure while you're away. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can see how they're doing. Beyond the pets, I'll keep your home tidy and secure, making sure everything's as you left it when you return.
“Namie is wonderful with our two big puppers! We've booked with her before and we'll definitely book with her again! She is very caring, communicative, sends us pics of our girls, and lets us know how everything went during her visit. Thank you Namie!”
“Ruby did a great job house sitting for my cat Winston. She was communicative and sent me great photos. I could tell that Winston had a good time because he was cuddling up next to her in the photos. I would hire her again.”

We are able to give your pup frequent potty breaks and able to feed multiple times in a day. I am happy to pick up and drop off your pup if you live within 5 miles! We can also drop them off at the groomers/vet if need be. We also would love to arrange for an initial meeting to ensure that it's a place where your dog can feel right at home. We are home most of the time and rarely leave dogs alone. We are a homeschooling family that also fosters animals for Pasadena Humane and are committed to providing the best care; knowing that pets ARE family. We have a fenced yard and choose to watch no more than a total of two dogs at once. We want to make sure that we can provide attentive and attuned care to each guest.
About: I am a very kind, patient loving woman who has always had fur babies and treat everyone's fur babies with love and compassion. Animals only want love and I will always give that to them. As of right now, I am unemployed so I am available 7 days a week. When i do normally have a job, I will still be available 3-4 days a week. I follow the clients list of do's and don't that they leave for me. I always keep in contact with the owner/owners so that they always feel at ease.
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
Narin was amazing! She didn’t just make sure my cat was fed and watered, but also played with her, kept the litterbox spotless, and cleaned up the area. Narin also kindly kept me up to date with lots of pics. She is a seasoned pro and made this so easy. I hope to have Narin cat sit again.
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!
I can’t recommend Heidi enough! She was able to accommodate my very last minute request and was absolutely wonderful with my kitty. I was able to feel at ease while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my cats were in such good hands and getting lots of love and attention. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing cat sitter! 😊🐾
This was our second time booking Sydney, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She is excellent with our two cats and so attentive to their different needs and personalities. She was also great with giving medication! Her pictures and reports on her visits were so good and always a delight to receive.
Skylah is absolutely amazing! She has taken care of my two cats for me many times now, and she is always someone I know I can count on!! She communicates so well, keeps me updated, and I always feel at ease knowing my cats are being fed, cared for, and getting some love and attention while I’m away. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring! I would absolutely recommend her!
Ayman was a great sitter and went above and beyond to make sure our cats were taken care of while we were out of town. Since our cats are Persians, then tend to have a lot of sinus issues. Every day she made sure to clean their faces and nose and gave them each a brushing! She also scanned the house for any messes, cleaned them up, and vacuumed pet hair ! Could t recommend her more.

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 .
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.

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 .
