“Karen and Mel were amazing! They were so loving to my kitty and sent me daily pictures and videos. My kitty had a blast and was provided a safe home. I was able to relax knowing he was in good hands!”
“Jing was amazing! She was able to accommodate us at short notice and communicated with us very frequently! Our dog Brax seemed super happy and comfortable! We will definitely book her again! ☺️🐾”
“Elva is great. She took good care of my dog and is very responsive. She genuinely cares about the wellbeing of pets and I would always go back to her if I need someone who I can trust to look after my dog.”
“Selien is amazing! She cared for my senior dog with some much attention and warmth. I was never nervous at all that Calvin wasn’t getting the love he needs while I was on vacation which really helped me unwind with peace of mind. I loved her daily update texts on how he was doing and the pictures she would send it felt like I was nearby and in the loop at all times. I would 100% be more than happy to have her look after Calvin again!”
“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’re so grateful that Ka was able to watch our pup on such short notice! Our pup has some extra needs, and Ka was incredibly attentive to our instructions and made us feel confident that he was in caring, capable hands. The regular updates and check-ins gave us so much peace of mind and reassurance that our little guy was safe and well cared for. We would absolutely book Ka again and highly recommend Ka to anyone looking for a thoughtful, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”

“Hillary was great with Oliver. She was super patient and understanding of his needs and slight anxiety. I appreciated her communication style and updates. Would definitely book again”
“Kimberly is awesome! I’m relieved when my dog-Butter is with Kimberly and her family. She makes sure of care info and sends lots of photos. Butter seems to have a good time at Kimberly’s place playing with whole family which is the best!🙏🏻”
“Cecilia took an amazing care of my little girl for three weeks. Cecilia sent us daily pictures and followed all of our instructions/requests thoroughly. My puppy obviously loves her as well. Would highly recommend Cecilia as a pet sitter and would definitely go back to her for any future boarding requests. Thank you so much💗💗”

Victoria sent us lots of photos and videos of the dogs playing together, hiking, and hanging out. Our boy had a huge goofy smile on his face in every picture. She shared lots of updates about how he was doing and really put us at ease. We could tell she was caring for him as if he was her own. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
I’ve tried a lot of dog sitters on rover in the past 5 years and Lijuan is by far the best dog sitter I’ve found. I get really nervous leaving my dog but she makes me feel completely at ease leaving him with her. She is very reliable and sent me multiple updates and photos throughout my time away. I can tell she really loves dogs and treats him like he’s part of the family and makes him feel like he’s at home. I live close by and my dog tries to pull me to her building on our walks because he loves being there so much! She even gave us some treats and a dog toy as a Halloween gift! I can’t say enough good things!
Hillary was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter! She was incredibly helpful and thoughtful, and we loved receiving her daily photo updates along with her funny and adorable commentary. It was so reassuring to see our dog happy and well cared for while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely love to work with Hillary again. Highly recommend!

Camila did an excellent job taking care of Willow during our 2-week trip. It was our first time being away for so long without her, but Willow felt so comfortable at their place that our worries went away after the first few days. We appreciated the daily photo and video updates and Camila did a great job following Willow’s diet, schedule and daily routine (and puppy-tude!). THANK YOU for taking such good care of her! We highly recommend Camila and Miguel for any pet needs.
We always love sending our fur babies to CAT. They are so well cared for and loved. We never have to worry about how they are doing because we get constant updates, and they always look like they are having so much more fun than we are. Sometimes I’m not too sure that they are happy to come back home. We are so grateful for them!
Liridona and her partner were very welcoming to have my 50lb dog Kima. They were more than happy to have her in their home and treated her very well. I can tell by the way my dog was looking for them when we left. They sent great photos during the time. I will definitely book with them again. Thank you
Brooke and Ryan are great communicators! We were kept updated on how he was getting acquainted and settling down in their home. They were even open to doing dog training reinforcement! Overall, we felt very comfortable with Brax in their care and will reach out to them the next time that we need a sitter.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in South Pasadena can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Pasadena. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
