“The best cat sitter we’ve ever had! Our kitties LOVE Zlata and they are usually very scared of people they don’t know. She sends very thorough check-in updates with lots of cute pictures. Overall she is a sweet person and very personable!”
About: Hi, I’m Kylee. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have a 15‑year‑old Pomeranian and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, especially seniors or animals with unique personalities. I’ve spent years volunteering with shelters, including the SPCA, where I became a behavioral specialist. I worked with dogs and cats who needed extra support, helping them build confidence, reduce anxiety, and become more adoptable. That experience taught me how to read body language, respond calmly, and meet each animal exactly where they are. I’ve also done extensive pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and families, caring for everything from energetic puppies to shy cats to senior dogs who need a slower pace and a gentle routine. I’m comfortable with medication, special instructions, and pets who need a little extra patience. Your pets will get reliable communication, lots of attention, and a safe, calm environment. I treat every animal like my own, and I would only use kennels if it is your preference. I want your pets to feel they’re at a second home. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m already used to caring for my own senior Pomeranian and two cats, so feeding schedules, check‑ins, and quiet companionship are part of my everyday life. Going on walks is something I do daily, both for my dog and for myself, so adding a few more paws to the routine feels completely natural. I also volunteer regularly with local shelters, which keeps me connected to animals with all kinds of personalities and needs. Caring for pets is already woven into my week, and I genuinely enjoy making space for it. I keep things simple and comfortable for pets, whether they’re in my home or their own. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give animals regular attention, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. At home, I follow routines closely and make sure my senior Pomeranian and two cats have a calm, predictable environment — and I bring that same approach to clients’ pets. In their home, I stick to their normal schedule, keep things tidy, and pay attention to what makes them feel safe and relaxed. My goal is always to make them feel cared for and at ease while you’re away.
“We loved Blaize! Deff recommend!! She made sure she asked plenty of important questions, showing that she truly cares for your dog. She texted and sent awesome pics everyday, that kept me at ease. Her personality matched ours which made us feel like we picked our perfect person. Can't wait to see/use her more in the future!”
“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!”
“Alexandria was great with our pups!! She came to the meet & greet and asked great questions that made us feel comfortable with her taking care of our pups. She was very responsive for any question or check ins we had. Definitely recommend!!”

I’ve also cat sit for over 10 years. At home, I’m raising my own 11-year-old Labrador, so I understand the love, patience and attention our furry family members deserve.

About: I just recently moved to the Gulfport area and am looking to meet new pets and people. I've been pet boarding and sitting with Rover in Charlotte, NC for the past 4 years. I've had dogs and cats growing up. I've pet sat my friends and families dogs and cats for over 5 years! I love animals and they bring me joy! I currently work part time so I have lots of availability during the week! I am also available on the weekends as well, let's do this. I have a big backyard and front yard and live in a very walkable neighborhood. The backyard is fenced for playing and staying safe! Yay!
About: I was raised with Dogs of all sizes and owned my own dogs while raising my family. Cats too. Walking Dogs is my expertise as well as loving your pet! I want to bond with your pet so we can have a lasting relationship. I was also raised with cats and would enjoy visiting your cat and spending time with it. Cats have all different personalities so tell me about your cat and their needs. I am currently RETIRED! I am available to walk, feed, interact, play, and love your pet most days prior to 7 PM. I am not able to house your pet due to HOA Restrictions! That is why I want to take care of YOUR pet!! I miss having an animal in my life. I love going to Dog Parks, walking dogs and petting your cats. I am available to administer medicine to your pets if they are ill. I am very open to any instructions and directions you want to give me to keep your family member healthy and happy every day of the week. I will follow the clients instructions as to how they want me to care for their pet in their home or on walks. Client communication.
About: I love animals and treat them like my own. I hug them, hold them, kiss and play with them. I previously had hundreds of animals on a farm in Seminole Fl. From ducks, chickens rabbits ,cats and dogs, to goats, pigs, cows and horses. I like to make them happy because it warms my heart and makes me happy! I'm very patient, compassionate, hardworking, trustworthy and loyal to people and pets. If your pet is with me they will be safe and loved. I have been a homecare person for an elderly family member and have taken care of my friends animals when they have gone out of town. They have all said how clean I keep their home, and it looks like it did when they left.
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for years — I currently have three of my own, all of whom I’ve trained myself or are currently in training. I’m patient, reliable, and truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks and playtime to administering medication and overnight stays. Whether you have a high-energy puppy or a senior needing extra care, I treat every dog like they’re my own — with love, structure, and plenty of belly rubs! Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine—I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My mornings usually start with feeding, walking, and some playtime or light training. Throughout the day, I schedule time for enrichment activities, potty breaks, and cuddles. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or others, I stay consistent with routines, give plenty of attention, and make sure each pet gets what they need emotionally and physically. It’s a big part of my life and something I truly enjoy! I have 3 very friendly dogs who are all crate and house-trained. They have a consistent schedule and exercise daily! We do parks, walks, hikes, swimming, and running!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
Brittany was absolutely amazing! I have both a dog and a cat, and she took such great care of them. She arrived on time for every single check-in and kept me updated throughout the entire weekend with tons of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. On the last night, my AC unexpectedly went out, and Brittany immediately alerted me. She was incredibly helpful and was even able to get it turned back on for me. She also showed so much care and concern for my dog by turning on a fan and giving her some ice water since the house had gotten a little warm. Brittany was so kind, considerate, reliable, and attentive to both of my pets. She truly went above and beyond. She is hands down the best Rover sitter I’ve had, and I would absolutely use her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home!
Wow. I am completely satisfied. Kim did an amazing job caring for my pet. I enjoyed getting the updates with each visit as well as the photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for this service. Definitely five star service, happy dog and happy customer here.
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!
I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! From the moment we first reached out, her responsiveness was exceptional. Appointment requests were always answered within minutes, making scheduling incredibly easy and stress-free. One of our biggest concerns was having someone we could truly trust in our home—and this sitter exceeds all expectations. She respected our space, kept everything tidy, and we always felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such capable and reliable hands. What truly sets Tessa apart is her remarkable attentiveness to our dog’s special needs. Our aging Weimaraner has a unique diet and medication schedule and some specific behavioral quirks, but Tessa took the time to learn every detail and made sure our dog felt happy and safe. We regularly received thoughtful updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while away. If you’re searching for a quick-to-respond, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter, look no further. Our experience has been nothing short of outstanding!

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.

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.
