About: Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priority, and I believe the best way to achieve that is by keeping things as familiar as possible. I stick closely to your pet's normal routine - feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications - so they feel safe and at ease whether you are home or away. I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely patient with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and needs plenty of activity or is a more laid-back companion who just wants some quiet company, I adapt to whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand the extra care and patience they require. From managing medications and limited mobility to providing gentle companionship and a calm environment, I am experienced in making older dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well looked after. Communication is something I take seriously. I know how much you love your pet, and I never want you to wonder how they are doing. You can count on regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I am a freelancer who works from home with a flexible schedule, which means I am around the house throughout the day and can plan my entire routine around your pet's needs. When I am in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. My goal is simple - to make sure your furry family member feels loved, cared for, and right at home until you return. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. As a freelancer who works from home, I have the flexibility to structure my entire day around your pet's needs. Throughout the day I take regular breaks from work to check in, play, and spend quality time with any pets in my care. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought - they are always my priority. To give your pet the best possible care, I love learning as much about them as I can before we get started. Knowing their daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs helps me make sure they feel right at home. I also like to understand their personality - how they interact with other dogs and people, any quirks or preferences, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them the way you would
“tiffany took great care of my kitties, as always. this time i was away longer than usual but tiffany kept everyone fed, clean, and happy. she administered medication and a B12 shot according to schedule to help the senior cat maintain his health. tiffany also managed all the gadgets i have for the cats (litter robot, automated feeders & water fountain). so glad i can relax while on vacation, knowing the kitties are well taken care of!”
“Limari took great care of my cats while I was away. I appreciate that she was a good communicator and sent me pics with every visit. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would definitely rebook again. 🙂”
“Lori was absolutely amazing to work with! As our first time working with her I was so impressed by her genuine care, attention to detail, kindness and the thorough reports she provided. Not only did she come for a meet n greet with Charlie, but also I had to extend our stay through the 4th of July which had me feeling incredibly guilty to leave a pet during that stressful time, but she was incredible with extending our booking & making the time, administering medication & ensuring he was ok. It allowed me to relax into my vacation knowing she was there checking in on him & sharing happy updates. Lori is such a thoughtful pet sitter & will continue to hire her & highly recommend!!”

“Mike was very professional and kind, and he was a great caretaker for my cat! He sent reports on the check-ins and daily photos, which both put me at ease as someone who hasn't used an outside caregiver before. I would certainly recommend Mike to others and will seek out his services again for future trips!”

About: I started dog walking and doing cat play dates out of high school 11 years ago and loved it! I grew up with two large dogs and two cats in Portland, Oregon. Calm or animated, tall and long, short and stout, I take care of dogs & cats with all types of personalities, needs, and routines. I know dog & cat first aid through the American Red Cross and will go above and beyond to be a steward of your space. I study critical theory around the subjects of visual culture and land use at Portland State University online, so my schedule is open and adaptable to yours. My availability is completely open. I'm currently a student online, so I can adapt my schedule around whichever days and times you need help. I'm a patient, soft-spoken caretaker that allows a new fur friend to get to know me first. I'll walk the greenest routes in the area and cross the streets at the safest points. I walk at a steady pace and can check in with you and your pet during the walk or pet sit. We can play games or lounge around if that's more their style. I'll tend to your pet's grooming, diet, activity, and behavior specificities as well as any household tasks that accompany the visit.
“Thank you Albert and Catherine for your drop in visit with Danny. I was relieved to know you played ball with him, picked up after him, gave him fresh water and even pulled in my dumpster!!! You both are amazing. I surely will hire you again!!!”
“Angelique was so helpful and patient. My dog is on crate rest and isn't a lot of fun to sit for right now. Angelique basically sat by her side for the entire visit.”
About: As a dog owner through my adolescence and a two-cat owner as an adult, I’ve learned to treat pets with the love and care that they unconditionally provide us! I’m on the taller side so I can work with dogs of basically all sizes haha! I currently work full time as a lab researcher, so my weekdays are mostly busy before 5 PM, but I’m more than happy to meet your furry friends after work! On the weekends I am essentially completely available and willing to care for your pets! I live in an apartment in which I am only allowed my cats, and they have tons of vertical space to watch over me and dedicated play times haha. Back at home with my parents is a comfortable and loving environment for my dog and he’s an old man who still gets healthy amounts of food, water, exercise, and play time everyday.
“This was my first time using Rover and i was very impressed. Great and frequent communication, trust worthy, my kittens actually came out. Very experienced. Chose Daniel because they are too a cat owner. Made me feel like my kitties were in good hands. Thank you so much!!!”
About: Hello! My name is Nancy. I am a mother of a 10 lb long haired Chihuahua. His name is Prince. Through my years of raising Prince and my previous puppy Mickey, I learned a lot about how to raise a dog and how to better take care of them. I learned that every dog is different. Each and every one of our furry friends have unique personalities and endless surprises for us. This is one of the reasons why I love dogs. One important thing I learned through personal experience is that our furry friends does not like to be alone at home all day. They need daily walks, exercise, and constant love and care. Do you have a busy schedule? No worries! I can help! I'm available to board or house sit during the weekends and I can do dog walking on weekday mornings starting as early as 6 am I have a fenced back yard and a beautiful water view park across the street for the pups to enjoy long walks and potty time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
Joy was the perfect cat-sitter for Louie. She kept her fed and watered, and showered her with lots of petting. And, the litter box was clean when I arrived home. Joy also did a great job with my plants and bird feeder. She gave me incredible peace of mind while on a business trip, and made sure Louie was well cared for.
Emily is simply the best! She’s taken care of our four cats for extended periods which includes one very difficult cat and treats them all lovingly. She’s very communicative in updates and will go the extra mile to ensure not only the pets but the entire home stays in good order.
Don’t look further, hire Olivia. And please read this review 🙏🏽 Not only has Olivia taken care of my sweet baby Piffy for the past year with the upmost care and expertise, but she took her to the vet and sat in the room with her when she had to be put down after developing female leukemia. She FaceTimed me because I was states away and couldn’t be with my baby in her last moments. 🐱🪽🥺 And THEN… she drove her back to my apartment for me to say my goodbyes to her when I got home…. Like are you serious? An angel is an understatement. If I ever get another pet I will never hire anyone else. Olivia deserves the world. Please bless her and hire her forever. I can never thank her enough. 🥺💖 Piffy loves Olivia forever. 🐱🪽💖🐾
We absolutely love Camille! She genuinely cares about our cat and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. We have been using her for years and trust her completely with both our cat and our home, which gives us such peace of mind when we're away. She's punctual, tidy, communicative, and thoughtful. If anything comes up, she asks questions rather than making assumptions, which we really appreciate. It's clear that she takes her responsibilities seriously and truly cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their pets and home!
Alyce took great care of our cat while we were away! She came by the day before to meet him and go through the instructions. She was on time for every visit and did everything we asked. She was very communicative throughout and always updated us with pictures. Our cat can be shy but it looked like he warmed up to Alyce. We will book with Alyce again the next time we go away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Pasadena is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $39 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 20,636 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Pasadena. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
