“Angelica and her daughter are so wonderful! My Brownie apparently was so well behaved but I thank that in part to her being kept so busy 😆 They had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She gave me photo updates of Brownie so I can rest assured. They did everything that was asked for her routine and lots of love and attention. I highly reccommed her services. Thank you so much again. Definitely will be back.”
“Janice was the best! She was so great witn Bear and gave so many updates and videos. It so reassuring to have someone like her and her family care for your pet.”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing with our puppy. She’s incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely caring—you can tell she really loves what she does. She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was always super quick to respond whenever we missed him and wanted a check-in. It made the whole experience stress-free and honestly enjoyable. We’ll 100% be booking with her again!”
“We booked Hilary last minute because our usual sitter became unavailable. We had a trip to Italy planned, and I was so stressed to leave Pebbles somewhere new while being out of the country, but HILARY WAS AMAZING!! We fell in love with the way she cared for Pebbles instantly. She had no problem with her feeding times, walks, crate needs, and even eye medication. She sent us SO MANY fun and cute pictures of Pebbles while we were out of the country that I felt super reassured. She was flexible with the pick up time (we know how LAX can be), and even willing to take an additional emergency contact while we were out of country. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for anyone kinder, more loving, or more communicative. I will definitely request her again, and I am so glad Pebbles found a temporary home there. Thank you for everything!”
“Yeti had a lot of fun during his stay visiting with other dogs. Jing was super kind and sweet. She sent updates of Yeti soon after we left to re-assure us that our puppy was adjusting well. We are really thankful.”
“Having a shy doggie can make it hard to find caretakers, but Eva had her for a week while we were out of town and did everything to make to make her feel comfortable and grew to trust her. Walks, meals, cuddles, she was super attentive to her needs and very communicative and flexible with us on dropping off and picking up!”
“Steven was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. My wife and I always have family house/pet sit when we go out of town, so leaving them with a sitter had us a bit anxious. During the meet and greet, Steven immediately put us at ease with his kindhearted and soft nature which made us confident in his ability to provide excellent care. While we were gone, steven provided updates with pictures every day, and we could see that they were happy, relaxed, and enjoying thier time with him. Steven was also very accommodating as far as drop offs and pick ups. We absolutely plan on entrusting steven with our pups again in the future. Thank you, Steven!”
“Joyce was fantastic! She kept me updated frequently, along with pictures. Worked around any special care instructions if needed. Also, very quick responses which stood out the most compared to other sitters. Will definitely be reaching out again when going out of town. Thank you Joyce! Chanel had a great time!”
“Selien was amazing!!! She would send updates often with great pics of our fur baby!! Totally recommend her for your dog sitting needs!! I will definitely ask her to sit for Finn again!!”
“Catherine and Albert were great! Our dog Peanut stayed at their house and he had a great time! They took him on walks and also to the park. Peanut had a fun time playing with Trace (their dog) and the other dog they were dog-sitting. They also provided lots of updates and photos which is greatly appreciated as I missed my pup a lot.”
“Magdalena is such a wonderful and nice sitter my dog Oreo loves her and her family…she treats Oreo like her own and I’m so grateful for her….I would recommend anyone to book her services!!! 👍🏽 she’s the best sitter 👌🏽”
“We love leaving Pebbles with them! They are kind, understanding, and communicative. We have now left Pebbles with them 4 times, and they are always our number one choice. 100% recommend!”
“Ana and Mitchell were incredibly caring with Sophie. I needed a last-minute sitter for Sophie, who isn’t used to being home alone yet at 5 months, and they were amazing. What I love about them is that someone is always home and they only take one dog at a time. They were quick to schedule a meet-and-greet and were very welcoming. Sophie got to meet their dog, Ellie, and they got along instantly. Ana and Mitchell were flexible, accommodating, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure Sophie’s needs were met. We set up a short doggy date for a couple of hours, and it went perfectly- Sophie didn’t even notice we had left! Since leaving Sophie is new for us, we appreciated the frequent updates and their respect for her schedule. She came home happy and content, and it was clear she had a great time. Sophie will definitely be back soon. We even forgot a couple of things at their house and stopped by later, and Sophie was eager to go back inside to Ana and Mitchell’s home- showing just how comfortable she feels there.”
“We hadn’t taken an overseas vacation in over five years because it’s always been so hard for us to leave our dogs, and honestly, we struggled to find someone we truly trusted. But after our meet and greet with Janelle and Alvin, I immediately felt at ease and knew our babies would be in great hands. I’m so happy to say that instinct was absolutely right. They took care of our two dogs for two days, and the entire experience was seamless. Janelle was incredible with communication! She sent updates and photos regularly without me ever needing to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Both Janelle and Alvin have such a calm, kind demeanor, and their home is clean, cozy, and clearly a safe space for pets. One of our dogs is usually very anxious and slow to warm up to new people, but he surprised us by opening up to them right away. That alone speaks volumes. I can’t recommend them enough, and we will absolutely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you Janelle and Alvin for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Yuhong took care of my kitty while I was on a long vacation. We met prior to ensure Meru could meet Yuhong and it was clear Meru was going to be in great hands. Usually my neighbors will feed my cats while I’m on trips, but one of my cats crossed the rainbow bridge recently, and it gave me such peace of mind that Meru was not alone and had ample sweet and caring company with Yuhong and her husband. Meru had never been away from our home so she (and I) was nervous at first, but warmed up to Yuhong quickly. Yuhong played with Meru twice a day to keep her spirits up. I’m grateful this worked out and to have found a wonderful sitter moving forward!”
“Albina is a dream come true for anyone hoping to find a kind and considerate dog boarder. She was wonderful with my mom's dogs and they took right to her. I highly recommend Albina as a dog boarder!”
“Julie and her mom were so sweet! They took really good care of my one senior dog and one adult dog. We had specific instructions for the senior dog and she did really well following them.”

Natalia was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we met her, she was so warm, friendly, and welcoming, and I immediately felt comfortable leaving Avalon in her care. It was clear that she cared for Avalon just as I would, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She sent great updates, was incredibly flexible, and made the entire experience so easy. Most importantly, Avalon was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well loved! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. We will absolutely be using Natalia again and would recommend her without hesitation! ❤️🐾
I have been leaving my maltipoo Shiba to Adrianne, especially when I need to be away for 1 or 2 weeks or more. She's been taking good care of him like it's her own. Adrianne is also very flexible and accommodating to adjust the dates especially on the unexpected extension of the days. My worry was lessen to know that Shiba is in good hands.
Cecilia's communication was seamless and always super fast!! She sent photos and updates of our dog Carlton throughout our trip and responded quickly to any questions we had. She was also really flexible with us when it looked like our return flight was going to be delayed. We will definitely be rebooking with Cecilia!
Our dogs loved it there. I don't think they knew that we were gone as they felt that they were on vacation. We would recommend him as they are very picky about strangers, but felt like they were at home. His father was thwere and instantly bonded with both dogs, If I ever have to Board my animals again, he is the first consideration.
Julianne was so kind and accommodating of a last-minute schedule change. She responded very promptly and took good care of Buster while I was out of town. I really appreciate how much time she spent with him and how careful she was to keep him from overheating in the heatwave. Very reliable and easy to communicate with!
Albert & Catherine were amazing with our dog, Panko! They were kind, communicative, and made us feel at ease while we were away. Our flight was delayed, so we ended up picking Panko up later than expected, and they were incredibly understanding and accommodating. We’re so grateful for their flexibility and excellent care. We would absolutely book with them again. :)
We loved Amy!!! I was very worried about leaving our velcro dog mini poodle mix / maltipoo for 7 weeks. We looked at a bunch of options and none could assure us our baby girl would get all the cuddles she needed. Amy really delivered! Her dog, Niko, is so gentle and was just the right companion for our little feisty pup. Amy would send us regular pics and videos. She has a nice big backyard for the dogs to run and play. We really liked that she didn’t take on other dogs while caring for ours. She was also really patient with our dog’s unfortunate potty habits. She also got to know our dog’s normal behavior so that she alerted us right away when something seemed wrong, and was willing to take her to emergency right away. Our vacation was worry free because we could tell our baby girl was happy and was getting lots of attention and love. Thank you, Amy!
Kiyomi is the BEST!! She made me feel so comfortable leaving my Tripod Jazz with her. It was my first time trusting someone new and she was beyond exceptional!! She’s the sweetest and truly loves animals. She sent me sooo many photos and updates and although I was on a quick vacation, my dog Jazz was too! She took him on so many outdoor adventures! He had an absolute blast! I don’t think you’ll find a better sitter. She is the best!!
This was the first time using Rover and we couldn't have lucked out with a better pet sitter! Stephanie and RJ had us over for a meet & greet ahead of time to make sure Dezi fit in with their pack. That meant so much to us since it was our first time using the app. During the trip, they sent lots of photos and communicated every day. When we had an unexpected flight cancelation, they were so nice about us having to pick her up late. We were one meal short on her dog food because of the delay, and they even stopped by the store to pick some up. They truly treated Dezi like one of their own, and made us feel so at ease being away.
Our little boy Freckles absolutely loved his time with Athene. She provided several photos throughout his stay and you can tell she genuinely loves her four legged guests. She followed all of Freckles care instructions and we wouldn’t hesitate to book a stay with Athene in the future.
This was the first time I had to board my senior dog. I was very nervous. However, after reading all the wonderful reviews about Joe and meeting him, I was convinced that Jackson was in great hands. Joe truly cares about animals. Jackson returned home happy and I will definitely call Joe again to care for Jackson if needed. Thanks Joe!

We were so lucky to find Jadine last minute to watch our senior dog while we went out of town on a last minute camping trip. Jadine was thorough with her questions about our dog and how to keep him comfortable while we were gone. She sent us lots of pics from his walks and his afternoon naps. If you want your dog in the care of someone who loves and cares for your pet like it’s her own, I highly recommend Jadine!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Pasadena on Rover is $66.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,877 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of South Pasadena sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which South Pasadena landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South Pasadena home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your South Pasadena.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your South Pasadena sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
