“Michael to the rescue!! Even with short notice, he was able to come through in sitting my girl for the day. Kind, respectful & communicated well through the whole exchange. Would book again!”
“Jackson came home so tired that he must have had a wonderful time with Cat, Albert, and Trace! 😍 they provided the cutest report card about his day 💕 I also really appreciate how flexible they were with drop off and pick up times, due to my unpredictable work schedule. So glad to have Jackson enjoy daycare here!”
“Very communicative and always excited to see our Luna! Luna basically runs inside now and I've never seen her so happy outside our home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!”
“We’re so grateful to have found Ryan and Theoni through Rover. They provided our hairless pup with thoughtful, attentive care and made sure he felt completely at ease in their home. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat every four-legged guest like family. Their communication throughout the day gave us peace of mind, with thoughtful updates that showed how tuned in they are to each pet’s unique needs. We feel incredibly comfortable leaving our dog in their care—and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking loving, reliable sitters.”
“Frances is great — she’s very calm, which really helps with my anxious pup. She’s a great communicator; she kept me posted throughout the day with pics of Pogo and text message updates. She was also very flexible with my time changes with both the drop off and pick up times. I will book with her again!”
About: I have been an animal lover since I was a little kid, I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. I have a 6 year old goldador who is the best boy. We love to go on walks, go hiking, go to the beach, or go to the park. Haven’t been active as a sitter in Rover for awhile, but excited to get back into it. I currently work mostly from home, with a day or two at the office once a week to every other week. We go out 3-5 times a day with a morning walk, afternoon walk or quick potty break and long evening walk or go to the park. On the days I need to go to the office, your dog would need to be able to be ok at home anywhere from 3-6 hours. In my home with my dog, your dog will be taken care of like my own. Spoiled for sure with plenty of love and activity.
About: Hi there! I have long loved being a dog mom and thought to start sitting to give myself and my own dog some extra company and fun times. I can usually take up to two additional dogs to my own. If I am able to sit for your dog, I will be working from home. However, I am not available everyday. This is why I recommend planning in advance for my availability. I have a single family home with a fenced in dog run and patio for them to play in. They are free to be in the house and not be restricted in movements. However, I do not let pets on the furniture or beds. However doggy beds are available.
“Yoko provided daytime dog sitting at her apartment for two consecutive weeks. Our small dog quickly bonded with Yoko and made clear she looked forward to her daily visits. Yoko is highly conscientious, warm, and easy to work with. We look forward to booking additional time with her for our dog.”
“Kiyomi treated our recently adopted puppy as her own and gave so many helpful tricks and tips for taking care of our newest little family member. You can tell she’s great with all dogs and wants to do everything she can to make sure they’re happy. Extra perk that she takes super cute photos of your pup too.”
“We (more importantly Cody) loved his time at Joyce's! We really appreciated the updates and pictures too throughout his stay! Cody seemed to have warmed up so quickly and had a blast! We are definitely going to rebook with Joyce!”
“Denise was amazing! She sent photos and videos. My dog's a sensitive, shy boy and she was great with him. He loved her dog, Milo, too! They were fast friends. I'll definitely choose Denise again! :)”
“Magdalena is very good with dogs and has a cozy, comfortable yard and home for them to enjoy themselves in. I really appreciate her communication as well. Thank you!”
“Tremendous care and play for my supercharged rott. year old- she was even worn out the next day, which I've never seen. Great communication throughout- highly recommended.”
“Marysia is very professional and a knowledgeable person who knows dogs, she text me the whole time with pictures. I felt good about leaving Sammy with her . When I pick up Sammy he was s happy.”
About: My sweet doggie Eleanor and I love other pups. I've been a dog walker and dog sitter & boarded for years. Come play with us! >> New Policy >>> We are only taking female doggies at the moment. Sorry guys! I work at home and set my own schedule. I love taking doggies on hikes or playing in our big backyard that has a huge parklike hillside. There is a lot on our property to keep pups occupied. Car rides to adventures are easy to do. I have a large fenced yard and many safety gates and crates inside the home to keep pups corralled when they need to be. There are separate areas for toys and feeding.
“This is our fourth visit. Jake seems to have a better time every time he is with you. Jing also gave him a nice present for his 12th birthday, which was incredibly sweet. Thank you for loving Jake.”
About: Based in Pasadena, I provide reliable dog walking and drop-in visits for local pet owners. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I focus on safety, consistency, and clear communication. Every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to understand their individual needs and comfort level. Whether it’s a daily walk or a drop-in visit, I aim to make pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. After each visit, I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have a flexible schedule and can accommodate both regular and occasional pet care requests. I value consistency and reliability, and I make sure every walk or visit receives my full attention. I always communicate clearly with pet owners and provide updates after each visit. Safety is always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, comfort level, and personality before every visit. During walks, I stay aware of the environment, avoid unnecessary risks, and choose safe routes. I believe trust is built through patience, consistency, and clear communication with both pets and their owners.
“Rosie is great! My little senior lady has many ailments that increase her anxiety and Rosie provides a calm, safe space that helps her relax and sleep. She worked with me to help my pup adjust to day care and sent updates throughout the day that calmed my own anxiety! If you are looking for an attentive sitter who goes the extra mile to give you and your pup peace of mind, contact Rosie.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
I’m very picky about who I trust to care for my dog, Mochi, so finding someone reliable is incredibly important to me. Yoko has been absolutely wonderful. She is kind, caring, communicative, and so easy to work with. This is the second time we’ve used her, and I’ve felt completely comfortable knowing Mochi was in her care. It’s clear that Yoko genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Mochi was happy, well cared for, and received lots of attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Yoko again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
Namie was so great with my Coco, who warmed up to her right away. Coco usually takes a while to get comfortable with new people, but it was clear as soon as she saw Namie that she not only felt comfortable but happy to see her. I especially appreciated all the photo updates I got throughout her stay. Thank you, Namie! :)
This was our second time leaving Cooper with Catherine and Albert for doggy daycare, and they are great! It’s so obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat every pup like one of their own. It is such a relief to have found sitters who are not only trustworthy but also care so deeply about the well-being of our pup. We’re so glad we found them!
Thank you Burke for taking care of our wild one Loki! Burke was incredibly sweet watching Loki and sending lots of photos throughout daycare. Our dog warmed up to him immediately, and Burke’s home is a doggy playground with plenty of room for them to play and rest. We really appreciate you!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your South Pasadena commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 8,584 sitters in South Pasadena, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
