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: Ive been an Animal caretaker since I was a young child. Growing up on a farm I have experience with all kinds of situations. I’ve been on ROVER and WAG! Platforms for 5 years caring for hundreds of pets! I make sure to be as flexible as possible to meet their every need! I love dogs and taking them out to play and giving them plenty of love. I’m also a huge cat person and adore playing with the little fluff babies I am passionate about connecting with and making the most time for your fur baby. While I love my kitty at home, I also have a sweet spot in my heart for dogs. I love getting to know every pets individual personality and their funny little quirks Im great with all services needed. I know how to take care of young and old. Each has their own special needs that I am going to make sure they get

About: I’ve been loving animals my entire life & treat every pet like my own. I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including high-energy breeds, senior dogs, and pets with medical needs. I currently care for my own dog, Auggie (8), who requires daily medication, a special diet, and extra attention due to anxiety and seizures, so I’m very comfortable handling detailed care routines and staying attentive to a pet’s health and behavior!! I’ve also helped raise and care for multiple dogs over the years, including training basic obedience, grooming, and managing multi-dog households. I regularly help care for a Siberian Husky (high energy!) and have experience with reactive and strong personalities. In addition to dogs, I’ve pet-sat for cats and small animals (hamsters, fish, reptiles, etc.) for neighbors and friends since I was young. I’ve even been running my own little pet-sitting and dog-walking gigs since I was a kid, and this has always been something I really love, just getting to be around animals. ❤️ I’m very communicative, send regular updates and photos, and make sure you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Your pet will be safe, loved, and cared for like my own fur baby family! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, and in-home pet care. As I begin my part-time contract work, I will continue to have flexibility with availability, especially during mornings, afternoons, lunch breaks, and weeknights. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent, dependable care that fits their needs! :) I provide in-home care in your pet’s own environment, where they can feel most comfortable and secure. I understand that welcoming someone into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big responsibility, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s normal routine, pay attention to their behavior and needs, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve always loved animals and truly believe pets are family. I have two French Bulldogs of my own, ages 4 and 5, and I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pet sitting, feeding, playtime, walks, cuddles, and keeping litter boxes clean. I’m patient, attentive, and love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is playful, cuddly, shy, or a little spoiled, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m able to accommodate different schedules and love having pets around for extra company! I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions their owner provides. During drop-ins and house sitting, I’ll make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and are comfortable and happy. For dogs, I’m happy to take them on walks and give them the exercise they need. I’ll also keep their space clean. I treat every pet like my own and will always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. 🤍

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 have been caring for dogs most of my life and love every dog as if they’re my own. I have experience with all life stages and personalities - whether your dog is high energy and needs lots of playtime or is a senior who just wants to relax and be loved on. I am used to medication management, special diets, mobility challenges and bottle feeding. My adult dog, Olive, is always looking for a new friend to play with. I also foster puppies from time to time, so there may be lots of new friends for your pup to interact with while they’re here. I tailor my care to match animals’ personality and routine. My goal is to make them feel safe, happy and well-cared for while you’re away. Whether that is day care during the day or a long-term trip, they will be in good hands. I am fully remote and will be with your pup(s) all day. We will have plenty of outdoor play time during the day and always make time for afternoon naps. There is a nice 3 mile walking path by my house, so if your dog is very active and likes to walk or run, I would love to bring them along. For less active dogs, there will always be a comfy spot on the couch for them! I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for them to explore. My dog, Olive, loves to run around back there. There are also cooling mats on the back porch if your dog likes to sunbathe.

About: I am a friend to all animals, I don't discriminate! I'm a lifelong Floridian so I love all kinds of wildlife and have a big appreciation for nature and love to be outdoors, taking dogs to the beach or on long hikes. I also am a huge cat person and am mom to 3 cats🐈‍⬛. I love all dogs– big, small, hyper, cuddly, lazy, energetic. I've had 2 dobermans in my life so I'm very good with what some would consider "scary" or misunderstood dogs. I've taken care of rottweilers, pitbulls, staffys, retrievers, shepherds. I also had a chihuahua for 13 years, a pet bunny, tons of fish & turtles, a bird, and dozens of cats. So I'm well versed in a lot of pets and understand how important they are to us. I can take care of multiple pets at a time! As long as your pet gets along with other animals they are welcome in my home. I will treat any pet as if they are my own baby. I can provide 24/7 supervision & separation from other animals. I can provide hourly potty breaks and exercise. I work from home so I can take care of pets every day. I wake up at 6:30 /7am to begin taking care of my cats and whatever pets I am boarding. I have availabilities 7 days a week. I can take 2-3 pets on for boarding at a time, depending on size. But I have plenty of room and space for pets to be more than comfortable. I take them for walks as soon as I wake up and feed them all breakfast, then take them out at least 4-5 times a day. I lay on the couch with them or take them to the dog park. If your pet has a specific routine just fill me in on the details and I will treat them as if they were my own! I live in a home with a backyard and multiple rooms for space for pets. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood where I can walk dogs for miles and miles! If a pet requires any type of specific space, I have room to provide it for them. I have dog gates & a big guest room so separation is easy and I have a screened in catio for cats

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!

About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.

Emma was communicative and caring. My week had a slight change to it and I needed someone to walk Roy with a few days notice. Emma had a busy schedule but she was able to squeeze me in (life saver!). She did a walk report for Roy as well, which I greatly appreciated, as I genuinely do like to be kept up to date on how he’s doing when he’s with others. I didn’t have to ask or anything, she just uploaded pics for me 😍 I will definitely keep her in mind for future walks and stays as I learned she also has golden doodles that he could be friends with 🤗

FAQs for Dog Walking - South Pasadena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in South Pasadena on Rover is $15.54 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,477 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in South Pasadena.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

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 walker.
