“Freddie was so stoked! He got lots of play time with his new bff Henri and was very well taken care of. Will definitely book with Michael again. Truly felt like Freddie was with family.”
“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.”
“Happy that we were accommodated even though it was last minute. I got pictures of Nala & Nova playing outside and resting. I can tell Susan and Seo Kyung loves doggies!”
“Kiyomi was amazing with our dog. She took him for many walks, accommodated his medication schedule, played with him, fed him, and took really good care of our pup. I am so grateful we were able to find her and we will continue to use her dog sitting services! She also took so many cute pictures and it seemed like they had a wonderful day together.”
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.
“Catherine and Albert took such great care of Cooper! They made him feel right at home from the minute he got there and treated him like family! They did so much to make him feel comfortable and get his energy out (he’s a high energy cocker spaniel). It’s so hard to find people that you know will care about your dog as much as you do but it’s so obvious that they genuinely love dogs. As somebody who is very nervous leaving their dog, I feel so confident that Cooper is comfortable and safe with them.”
“Frances took care of our dog, Kepler, during the day while we were out of town. We live in the same neighborhood, so Kepler is already familiar with Frances and will happily greet her on his walks. Frances sent us lots of photos and video of him having fun playing with other dogs at the park. He was really happy when he came home and immediately took a nap. :D We highly recommend Frances if you are looking for someone to look after your dog for the day. Thank you so much!”
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.
“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!”
“We are so grateful to have found Marysia! She has been a wonderful guide for our puppy as he gets used to life outside the home. She offers such a warm and welcoming environment, great advice for us and our pup, and a sweet pack for our dog to get to know. It’s so clear she approaches her work with seriousness, knowledge, and care.”
“Amanda was GREAT! From start to finish, she helped my anxious dog feel so comfortable. She was both Kind & Excellent at communicating! Would definitely recommend & book again(:”
“Angelica was great. She accommodated some changes to our schedule, and the communications were prompt. We had a fantastic day, knowing our pup was in good hands. We would use her again in a heartbeat next time in Pasadena. Thank you Angelica!”
“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.”
“Denise kept sending me videos of Luna, and kept me updated on how she was. Dealt with my puppy’s separation anxiety, which is amazing by it self. Luna came home tired from all the fun.”
“the absolute best. I felt so comfortable leaving my son with her. She was always sending me photos and updates and you can tell she genuinely cares about animals. Would highly recommend!!”
“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.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received. From the very beginning, it was clear how loving and dedicated she is. Diana sent me regular updates with photos, and in every single one my dog looked happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable. Diana was attentive, responsible, and truly amazing with him. When I picked him up, he was calm and content… he clearly adored her! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 8 years and grew up with dogs my whole life. I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog with the same care, attention, and patience you would. Whether it’s a walk around the block or extra time for sniff breaks, I always make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I do freelance work from home so I have a flexible schedule Monday-Sunday. I’m able to care for your pet based on their needs and walking/feeding schedule. I have a fenced yard and a 9 yr old, medium dog (28lbs cocker Spanish mix) named Mia who’s very mellow. Your dog’s well-being is my priority. While you’re away, I create a calm, familiar environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I follow their routine closely, pay attention to what makes them feel comfortable, and ensure they stay happy and secure until you return. You can feel confident knowing your dog is receiving thoughtful, reliable care every step of the way.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
Can we say concierge level service? Sylvia is just that. The way she took care of my fur baby was exceptional and I can tell she enjoyed her visit. Not to mention, the oasis she calls her home is just gorgeous! Thank you so much! We are so lucky to have found you.
Great experience. She was easy to communicate with, sent updates throughout the day, and took great care of Winston. He came home happy, clean, and tired from a fun day. I’d definitely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
Madison was a life safer after my sweet Hazel’s spay surgery. I was required to go to work on short notice the day after her surgery so not only was my pup not feeling great but she had never been left with anyone else or spent her day at an unfamiliar place. I was anxious about leaving her because she can be a pretty shy and nervous girl to begin with and she had already had a pretty traumatic day so as a dog mom, I was pretty worried how all that stress may show up in someone else’s home. Madison was very patient at drop off and aloud Hazel the time and space needed to be shy but curious and approached her gently. She sent immediate communication after I left to let me know how she was settling in and continued to provide pictures and updates throughout the day which was very appreciated and put my mind at ease. I felt confident Hazel was safe and being cared for just as well as she would be at home. Definitely keeping Madison in mind for any dog or cat sitting needs going forward.
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! :)
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 8,483 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.
