About: i’ve taken care of dogs since I was little! I grew up as the neighborhood dog walker and have owned my own dog since I was 21 years old. i’m also a artist and love to do pet portraits. i’m currently working remotely and have an entirely flexible schedule. I’m happy to walk your dogs in the morning evenings or a night depending on your needs. Also, happy to help take care of cats, rabbits and other animals that may need checking in on throughout the day. I have a full fenced in yard and two friendly goldendoodles to keep your dog company. We live on almost half an acre and my dogs love it.
“We had great confidence and peace of mind in leaving our senior kitty in Andrea’s care. In our first meeting we could see Andrea’s skill and experience shine through in the way she treated Giselle. Couldn’t be happier.”
“Excellent care and attention! Nastasia is very loving and caring with my Chihuahua Rasta- and I absolutely love getting all the photo and video updates! I can tell my puppy is happy to have her come hang out with her!”
About: Hi! I’m currently finishing my certification with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy (positive reinforcement), and I am a soon to be working closely with an experienced trainer. I am good at reading dog body language and helping dogs feel safe and relaxed in my home. As a semi-retired teacher, I’m home throughout the day and structure my time around walks, enrichment, play, and rest, so visiting dogs naturally become part of a predictable, low-stress routine. As a semi-retired teacher, I structure my day around walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest periods, so visiting or boarding dogs easily fold into that routine. I’m home throughout the day, which helps me give lots of attention and keep a calm, predictable environment. My home fully fenced with plenty of sectioned off spaces including a small pool for any dog who loves a little structured swim time - calling all Goldens and Labs!! 🤿💦🐟🏊 For dogs who enjoy activity, I offer: *Supervised yard play and enrichment *Optional splash/play time in the pool (weather permitting & always supervised) Snuffle mats, puzzle games, and structured downtime.
“Cassandra was amazing! She came for a meet and greet on short notice and was super flexible about scheduling. She kept up with communication very well and was always sending the best photos and updates on her visits with our kitties! Highly recommend!”
“Patrick was awesome watching my dog while I was on a work trip. He took so much care to make sure Orville got plenty of exercise and felt comfortable. I will definitely be booking Patrick again.”
About: I have had pets my entire life starting early at age 4. I am more of a cat person than a dog person but I adore both. Most of my personal experience with dogs has been larger breeds, both docile and hyper. I work in Financial Technology but I love to spend my free time with animals! I work a hybrid schedule full time in Financial Technology. I am available for pet sitting mainly on the weekends or Monday/Friday when I work remote. I am open to any special requests! Some dogs/cats value inside or outside time, treats or toys, and respond better to certain mannerisms. I am happy to customize my care to your pets needs!
About: I grew up with Wheaten terriers so I am unphased by face kisses, jumping and general stubbornness. I love dogs and will happily take them for walks or throw a ball for them and generally love them like they were my own. I recently moved to the area and setting up my home and ceramics studio. I'm generally pretty flexible and love animals. I'm happy to do drop in visits and walks to help keep your pets happy while you're away. I take pet safety seriously and will abide by any restrictions while I'm in your space or with your pet. I will proactively watch for situations with other animals if we're on a walk or at a dog park as well as anything they shouldn't eat.
“Emma is amazing! I have 3 dogs that can be a handful alone but are even more so when they work as a team. She saved our holiday trip by being able to take the dogs on short notice and absolutely crushed it after our normal sitter had to cancel. I don’t advertise often but in this case Emma is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“Anika helped us feel relaxed while having to be away from our pups all day. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures! Definitely plan to book with her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and/or cats since I was 4 and was always the one caring for them. I started pet sitting 6 years ago after watching a neighbors pet and realizing how much i enjoyed caring for them. I love walking, feeding and playing with them. On occasion i’ve found myself having to get them cleaned up after a day of fun so bathing isn’t a problem. I’m currently working part time from home and flexible with times. I’m an early riser therefore mornings don’t bother me and depending on distance I can be available in the evening. Currently I have two cats so their fun activities are kept indoors. There’s a cat tree they love to relax on and they both LOVE water so i’ll give them fresh water from the faucet. In clients home I’ll abide by any preferences they have for their pets and play with them non stop.

About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers raising Pugs, and I’ve since had an English Bulldog and now a Frenchie of my own. I have a special place in my heart for smush-faced breeds and understand their unique personalities and needs, but all pups are welcome! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and will make sure yours feels safe, comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I work from home during the week, which means your pup won’t spend the day alone while staying with me. I have a large backyard for play and plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day. My dog loves to spend the day napping in my bed. He’s pretty docile and lazy during the day when he wants to be. However he will always play host and entertain guests to fit their needs. I have a large backyard where they can roam and play.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
Amazing experience!! Skylar is professional and quick to respond. She is attentive and followed all the instructions I left for my dog Wrigley. She also kept me updated while I was away w plenty of photos. I can gone from vacation to a happy and well cared for pup!
Another great drop in visit from Dylan. Thank you so much for always being so flexible and accommodating, within reason, and so so comunitive. We are so glad we get to continue working with you and can't wait until your next visit taking such good care of our girls.
As a first time user of Rover, I am completely satisfied. Andrea went above and beyond and did an amazing job watching my dog. It was great to get the updates with each visit and the photos. I would definitely recommend Andrea. I would give more stars if I could.
Our 7-year-old American Bulldog has always been a challenge to find care for. Until now, the only person we trusted to watch him was my brother-in-law. Our dog gets protective and anxious when we leave, and because of his size, many people are understandably hesitant to come into our home without us there. Dan went above and beyond by taking the time to meet our dog several times before our trip and doing a few trial visits to build trust. His patience, kindness, and calm demeanor made all the difference, and he ended up being the perfect fit for our pup. Knowing we had someone we could truly rely on gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We no longer have to stress about leaving town, and that is priceless. Dan is amazing, and we couldn't recommend him more highly. We can't wait to use his services again in the future!
Alison was so awesome! My dogs absolutely loved her and when I came home from my trip I could tell they really enjoyed their time with her while I was away. Alison was especially considerate with my senior dachshund who I was quite nervous to leave, but her separation anxiety was minimal thanks to all the love she got from Alison! Alison was great with juggling the needs of her along with my high energy 4 year old Irish setter. We will definitely be repeat clients!
Heather visited with Ruby before and were friends from the beginning. She was on time at the agreed hours and took care of Ruby with no issues. I found her to be friendly, reliable and pampering towards Ruby. I would not hesitate to have her take care of Ruby anytime. Thanks Heather, till next time!
Anika is hands down the best Rover sitter my fur kids have ever had. We all will miss her as we are moving out of state. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s responsive, reliable, communicative and writes the best report cards- I feel like I’m really caught up on the animals with her in charge. If you’re looking for a good sitter look no further!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South Pasadena stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
