“Avery took wonderful care of our sweet but complicated retriever. She easily managed his medications and tricky behavioral issues. Avery was responsible, highly communicative and attentive. Will for sure work with her again.”
“Limari was great w my pups, she was communicative and flexible with my newness to the app in a few years. The pups seems happy and the house looked better than I left it! I'll certainly be using her services in the future”
“Lori was absolutely fantastic. Did a great job caring to for our Chompy. He immediately fell in love with her. We left town for a wedding and Lori kept us updated through out our time away. Will definitely book Lori again to care for Chompy!”
“This is the second time I've hired Kathleen to look after my dogs and my house. She has always been incredibly responsive and responsible. She consistently goes above and beyond both with my dogs (even hand feeds my spoiled little one when she's being stubborn) and my house (there was a leak Kathleen went out of her way to try and diagnose, she keeps my plants alive and happy, and my house spotless). I trust her completely and all my animals love her. She sends frequent updates with cute pics, and you can tell she loves all living things. My dogs love her right back and appreciate having a snuggle buddy. She's absolutely wonderful!”
“Jessica was wonderful, she stayed with our kitty for a few days and did a great job giving him the love and affection he needed while we were away. She was extremely reliable and took all instructions to the dot. Plus she is very pleasant and we totally enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her. We are so grateful we found her, and we will definitely book her again! Thank you, Jessica!”
“Matt was SO kind and skillful with our anxious dog. Our dog has specific medical and behavioral needs that Matt attended to with ease and care. Would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful petsitter!”
“Jenna is extremely reliable and responsive. She took amazing care of my senior cat, Kobe, who has many special needs (including administering a kitty asthma inhaler) and is a semi-disabled kitty. When she visited, I could see how much she cared about ensuring Kobe would have the best support while I was out. She sent me daily detailed updates (with his cutest photos), and I was fully relaxed knowing he was in great hands. All photos I received showed Kobe looking comfortable and relaxed (even cuddling up on the couch). She's very organized and I even returned to a cleaner apartment than I had left. Thank you, Jenna!”
“Amazing ..I have a very difficult crew of pets- 3 dogs and a cat. One of which is a very high maintenance boarder collie. I was worried for Namie as I know how hard it is to keep my crew happy. Namie did it all! Took them to the park every day, and followed through on every task. She took such amazing care of my pets I knew they were so happy..Namie sent photos and updates daily. We were blessed to find such an amazing pet sitter she also took great care of our house…which was also difficult - the dogs she’d like crazy - so daily shedding on dark wood floors can be a pain ..the house was spotless…the roses alive and thriving in hot weather..Namie went above and beyond in every way! We are so grateful to Namie- to be able to take a vacation and not worry about our babies and to come home to a clean house and happy pups ..absolutely recommend Namie -I’d give her 100 stars!!!”
“Rebecca was a wonderful sitter for our dog, Otis, while we were away. She took great care of up, provided lots of updates, and left our home immaculately clean! We will definitely book again.”
“We're so happy we found Ruby to take care of our dog and stay at our place while we were away. She sent us pictures, gave updates and seems to really love animals. Would recommend and book again!”
“Amanda was amazing with our pup over the holiday weekend. Our anxious dog settled with her so quickly and even came to her for pets and play. We'll definitely be reaching out to book Amanda again!”
“Laura is amazing. We have a very smart and stubborn corgi, and she stayed with him for nearly 10 days. She sent us regular photos and kept us very updated. He was very happy and extremely well taken care of. We cannot say enough good things about Laura. We would recommend her extremely highly.”

I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, medication if needed, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep your home tidy, respect your instructions, and send regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“Courtney did a fabulous job looking after our dog and house sitting while we were away. She kept him on his food and exercise schedule and gave us peace of mind - knowing that our dog was in great care while we were away.”
“Naomi is amazing! My pets absolutely adored her and she left our place spotless. She was patient despite issues with parking and a leak while we were gone! Your fur babies will be in amazing hands. I would book Naomi again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.”
“My two small dogs can be really difficult with new people, but Trevor was very patient and gentle with them. He was communicative throughout his stay at our house, sending lots of pics and updates, and took great care of our pups. House was also very clean and neat when we got back from our trip!”
“William went above and beyond taking care of Hazel while we were out of the country for a week. He kept us posted with regular updates and followed our instructions to a T. Hazel is a relatively high-maintenance dog and William followed our instructions carefully during his time with her. He took her on neighborhood hikes to keep her active and sent us daily pics to keep us at ease that she was being well taken care of. Responsible and reliable, I highly recommend William for dog sitting / house sitting.”

Shannon was wonderful! She provided thoughtful updates and loads of photos to make us feel at ease while we were away from our fur babies! She was flexible, responsive and gave our pups loads of love and snuggles! I will absolutely book her again when we need in home care!!
Avery did a great job caring for our animals. They were happy and healthy on our return home and the house looked great. Our pup can present challenges given both the late maturing of her breed and her own quirks, but Avery dealt with them as they came and we appreciate her suggestions on how to help her.
This is our second time booking with Jessica and we couldn't be happier and more assured with our decision to book again. We've had several sitters over the years as we've moved to different cities and Jessica is by far the most conscientious, caring and considerate sitter we've had. We have a kitty with kidney disease and she went above and beyond in being attentive to her needs and making sure she was comfortable while we were away. She is highly dependable and a great communicator. Our other pets have come to love and trust her and she treats them like her own. We were away for a few weeks and even seemed like our house was cleaner than when we left it. Thanks, Jessica, for being so amazing - our family truly appreciates it!
This is long overdue, but Rebecca was an absolute pro in every way, from meeting Chadwick for a few minutes before watching over him and sending pictures. She told me Chad took to her right after we left for a night out, and he was a happy buddy when we got home. Top marks.
Limari was fantastic! On time, communicative, and our pup is so comfortable with her, she fell asleep within minutes of Limari getting here. We received pictures and updates and it was so clear that our dog was being well taken care of and loved. Our senior dog requires extra care like medications and diaper changes, and Limari handled everything with ease. We are so grateful for Limari’s dedication and professionalism, and would highly recommend her to others!
Hilary was great. Her house is perfect for dogs - nice big yard and fully fenced in. She was very responsive and sent lots of good pictures. Our dogs took to her from the first meeting and we could tell the feeling was mutual. We didn't worry once about them being with Hilary, we knew they were in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Pasadena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Pasadena on Rover is $66.6 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 14,790 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred South Pasadena walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in South Pasadena maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in South Pasadena choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
