About: Growing up with dogs, I love all dogs like my own! Playtime is my favorite time of the day and my large backyard is the perfect place for any breed and size. 🦴 I am home the majority of the day, so your pup will get all the love and attention their heart desires. 🐶 I cared and provided medical care for my diabetic dog with back leg paralysis for 10 years so I have experience with administering medication and attending to any medical needs! 🐾 Wake up & let’s go for a 1 mile walk! 10K steps! A little snoozing time afterwards, then another walk to the park and let’s play fetch! Afterwards dinner and then we’re watchin tv! I love sending photos!! I’ll happily send you pics coming and going. I always over-communicate & will do whatever required to make owners feel secure.

“Devin is a lifesaver! A good friend to our aging pitbull terrier, buddy. Very accommodating and flexible. Reasonable rates… I just wish the app would let us tip more!!! I live in California while buddy lives with my older mom. He’s such a strong dog and she can’t give him the exercise he needs. Very thankful for his service.!!! always friendly and prompt… A good fellow that genuinely cares about your animals.”

About: Animals have been a major part of my life for decades, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic pets who love playtime and adventure to seniors who need a little extra patience and TLC. My background includes owning highly trained working dogs, including an AKC Master Hunter and a trained bird dog guide dog, as well as fostering senior and rescue animals with unique needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When your pet is with me, they won’t just be watched—they’ll be genuinely cared for. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a true priority rather than trying to fit it around a busy workday. I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine and schedule, whether that means early mornings, midday visits, evening care, or extra time with pets who don’t like being alone for long periods. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I always take the time to make thoughtful introductions and get to know each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, favorite things, and little quirks. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their normal routine so they feel happy and secure while you’re away. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for with genuine love and attention.

About: I own 2 cats myself and have taken care of and lived with dogs before as well. I am also open to animals that may have some disabilities as well. I am located on St Pete beach but am open to the surrounding Tampa Bay Area. I am currently in school and work part time. I don’t mind dropping in or going on walks on days I work as well! I like to care for pets based on the how the owners would like them to be cared for. I would appreciate some instruction and background on them!

About: Having had cats since I was 3 and dogs since 7, I’ve grown up around animals and learned how to take proper care of them first hand. I’ve also been the primary caregiver for my 12 year old Maltese son for the last 6 years since moving out. I care deeply for animals and always strive to make them happy and comfortable. I can’t wait to meet your loving pets! I’m currently working online and doing gigs like this on the side. Unexpected things come up all the time, so I’m available for last minute requests or multiple visits a day! I live in a very dog friendly community to walk your dog in. I’m also available for longer walks around your neighborhood and will tailor the experience to your fur baby’s temperament.

About: Hi, I'm Lexi! I've grown up alongside 2-3 dogs, which has inspired my love for any and all animals! I've pet-sat a wide variety of animals (list is below) and have 3 years of experience volunteering at animal shelters. Their happiness is my happiness :) On Tues-Thurs, I work from 8a-5p (and I’m home from 12:20p-12:40p to check on my doggos). On Fri, Sat, Sun, and Mon, I’m off work and will be right there to hang out with your fur babies all day! They can freely roam inside and outside while I’m there (we have a indoor/outdoor sunroom and a fenced-in yard), they're allowed on beds/furniture, and I won’t practice crating unless I'm instructed to. I live right by a park, so I love taking my dogs for short walks or just to go roam around in the lawn, whatever they're in the mood for :) I'm super attentive to their needs, as I currently own two senior doggos (a beagle and a dachshund) and have been able to spot even the littlest physical/emotional changes in them. On that note, I’d prefer to ONLY board dogs that are not high-energy or territorial, so as to help keep my small senior dogs safe. I love keeping owners updated with pictures/texts to make them feel like their fur babies are right there with them! Animals I've cared for: Dogs, cats, leopard geckos, hognose snakes, hedgehogs, and White's tree frogs. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I love starting the day by taking my dogs to the park that's 2 min away for a walk. If they seem bored, I’ll give them a car ride or take them to PetSmart to shop around :) I have a fenced in yard and two senior dogs to keep your fur baby company. Your puppo is more than welcome to chill on our beds and couches (we have dog beds, too). We even have a guest room in case they want space! We live right by Walter Fuller recreational park.

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.

Michael was honestly amazing, I contacted him a little bit last minute due to a work trip but he happily accepted and made time to come see the dogs beforehand and they loved him from the start. They aren’t small dogs, and he had zero problem handling either one and dealing with the them. He was so awesome with updates and photos throughout the whole week it helped me feel so relaxed and at ease. The pups looked incredibly happy in every photo and in every walk and gave them everything they needed from a food and supplement stand point which was really awesome. I really appreciated everything Michael did for us he was a rock star!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in South Pasadena is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 October 2026, there are 6,453 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your South Pasadena. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in South Pasadena after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Pasadena. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
