About: I’ve previously worked at an animal hospital and kennel for years and have been pet sitting since I was 10! My first major in college was Veterinary Science although now I work in human healthcare. I currently work from home and am available for the mornings, lunch time, dinner, and evenings for walks or feedings. I now have a cat but grew up with dogs. All animals welcome ☺️ I offer compassionate care to your fur babies, I treat my own like my children! I am willing to come by your house for any kind of pet.
“I can not rave about Lynn enough. Ziva has become so attached to him. She gets an attitude when I change up her visit times with my work schedule bc she expects Lynn to be there. He has truly been my saving grace. Ziva is going to miss him while he is unavailable for personal time, but I can't wait for him to be available again. Thank you soo much”
About: Trustworthy companion for your fur balls. I have 2 dogs. Doggos are allowed on my furniture if it’s allowed at your home! My last little man was blind and had seizures before as well so I am experienced and calm with medical issues. If animals need medicine or a special diet, that is not an issue for me to administer so long as directions are provided. Thank you for reading!
“Evelyn is amazing! Took such good care of my pup and made him feel so loved and cared for! She was always super respectful and sent me tons of updates throughout the day! Definitely would book her 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’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so I know all the responsibilities that come with having a pet! I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a year. I’m very comfortable with puppies or kittens and giving oral medication! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I have 2 pets. I will make sure your pet gets the same level of care and attention I give my own! I’m not enrolled in any classes this semester so my schedule is usually open! I will take care of your pet as if it were my own, which means getting the best care! I will respect the house rules, and you can expect the home to look the same if not better once you return home.
About: I love to travel, and I know how stressful it is to find a good pet sitter. I also love taking my dog out with me whenever I can, so I have learned how to make sure my dog is a good social pup no matter the situation. I can usually figure out any animal's personality, and make sure they feel safe, secure, and cared for. My journey with pets began over 20 years ago with my first cat rescue, and it's still going strong with the beautiful dog I have now. My friends and coworkers always ask me to pet sit for them, and I love spending time with all of their furry children. Occasionally, I will foster a dog rescue when I have time. I work as a remote project manager so it's easy for me to stay at home with your pet during the day. My dream job in the future as a retiree is to become a full-time pet sitter! I am insured, and I have completed hands-on "Pet Tech CPR And First Aid" training, and earned my "Fear Free Pet Sitter" Certification. I'm happy to reinforce training during visits and love sharing photos, so you can expect plenty of updates! I have experience caring for senior pets and administering medications to both cats and dogs. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, capable hands while you're away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to stay in your home during the day if desired, providing companionship, walks, and overnight care as needed. My priority is creating a safe, comfortable environment while minimizing fear, anxiety, and stress. In Your Home: I respect your home and follow your pet's established routines to help them feel safe and secure in their familiar environment. I use gentle, positive interactions and can provide extra companionship throughout the day while working remotely. I'll provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they're happy, comfortable, and in caring hands!
“Dan was great - a good communicator, and took great care of our cat a Phoenix. He was attentive, sent photos, and followed instructions to keep ants out of our cats food. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time I have had Meagan to watch my little girl, Tiki. And the First time Tiki has come out while another sitter was here 🤗. Meagan went above and beyond to make sure Me and my baby did not stress too much. I will definitely request her again!”
“Kallie came by several times a day to check in on our dogs while we were out of town. She fed them, walked them, and played with them. She kept us updated the entire time and sent pictures during her visits, which we always looked forward to. When we came home it was clear they were happy and well taken care of. We would definitely use her again! Thank you!! 😊”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals! At one point we had 2 large labs, 3 rabbits, 2 cats and fish! All of my animals lived a happy and healthy life, with lots of outdoor time! I currently have one large lab mix, which I adopted in Austin, TX, and a small chihuahua mix that is native to St. Pete. I have had a profound love for all animals for as long as I can remember. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. Bonus, I take a lot of Instagram worthy pics. Excited to meet more dogs, cats, or other pets in St. Pete! Chat me so we can see if it’s a good fit. 😊 I have work from home flexibility, and will make your pet a priority in my routine. I am happy to discuss details, and accommodations needed. I live in a home with a fence, and always go outside with the dogs when they are in the yard. Plenty of water and playtime is always a must. When at your home, I will rely and trust your instructions.
About: Hi! I've been taking care of furry friends since I was 11! I’m kept on my toes by my 1 year old mini dachshund, Koda, who I've raised since he was a baby. I also have experience with senior care through my little old man, Hawkeye. I'm a current law student and young professional and I would love to help others who need some pet lovin’ worked into their busy schedules! There's no puppy too energetic, sleepy, or playful!! My pup has separation anxiety so I am very familiar with pets sometimes needing a bit of extra care. When your furry friend is with me, they will be my #1 priority and receive all of my attention and love! I'm currently in law school, and working part time, and would love to work with you to find how we can work pet care into our schedules! I have a fully fenced back yard, and gates that can be used inside my home. I have a friendly, if not sometimes shy, mini dachshund that loves playing with smaller dogs especially or just sleeping on the couch all day! We’re both comfortable with and enjoy any level of play.
About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for dogs and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, meals, oral medications, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent care and companionship throughout the day. For house-sitting stays, I can work from your home when appropriate, allowing me to spend more time by with your pet while maintaining their normal routine. I’m also available for drop-in visits and walks based on my availability. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both their routine and their space. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions and prioritize keeping pets comfortable in the environment they already know. I also believe communication is important, so pet parents can expect regular updates and photos while they’re away.

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.
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!
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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in South Pasadena is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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.

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
