“Lauren was great with my senior deaf pittie while I was out of town for a few day. Communication was good and I got lots of pics. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Elise stayed @ my home with my Callie girl for 5 days & did an outstanding job!! She checked in sending pictures several times throughout the days & let me know what they were doing. I trusted her completely in my home. Very nice young lady & will recommend her to anyone to dog sit their fur babies”
“My cats said they like this nanny! We just adopted a new cat and we didn't feel it was safe yet to leave them alone so we called on Reanna to babysit so we could go out for the evening. Nice to know she's close by when we're ready to do some real traveling!”
“Alexa was just phenomenal with my senior husky! She was communicative and sent picture updates. Def recommend to other dog parents out there, especially with older dogs!”
“Kelli was absolutely great! She stayed at our house while we were out of town. She took care of our dog and cat. She sent us updates and photos while we were gone. The sheets and towels she used were left clean and folded. She even folded our laundry that we left in the dryer. Our animals and house were well cared for. I highly recommend Kelli!”
“Aimee is amazing!! She was so great with my Shih Tzu, Bailey!! She was so accommodating. My trip was last minute and unexpectedly had to be extended an extra day and she was wonderful about it! Bailey is scared of storms and unfortunately there was some bad weather while I was away. She made sure he was comfortable, calm, and safe. She sent regular updates and adorable pics of Bailey! She took excellent care of my plants and my house in addition to my little guy! I already have her booked for another stay in September. I highly recommend her!”
“Savannah helped us out with a last minute request and took great care of our kitties and our house. She’s very friendly and followed my many instructions without any issues. Great communication and sent cute photos of our cats! Even our scaredy cat warmed up to her quickly. We arrived home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean home. Thank you so much!”
“Amanda was excellent and would highly recommend! We were gone for 10 days and she continued to consistently send photos, videos and updates everyday. She was very flexible in adjusting to our dogs needs and took good care of our home.”
“Marlene was amazing! My dog has separation anxiety and I was nervous leaving her. Marlene took picture updated me frequently about how she was doing. I highly recommend her to love and care for your pet. She is amazing!!!”
“Alexis accepted our request short notice and gave us so much comfort in knowing our little one was taken care of. She came over next day for meet and greet. She sent photo and text updates with our pup. We felt very secure and safe having her in our home, taking care of Myla.”
“Blaize was an absolutely AMAZING house and pup sitter. She took great care of our home, even alerting us to issues so we didn't come back to any surprises. We came back to a clean home and the healthiest, happiest pup ever. We could tell she took care of her just like it was her own, which we are so thankful for! We definitely look forward to her staying with our pup in the future! Thanks again, Blaize!!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs my entire life and absolutely love being around animals! I’ve trained multiple dogs over the years, and I’ve even attempted to train a few cats—but that’s still a work in progress. 😸 I enjoy taking the pups for walks and runs, playing fetch at the dog park and giving them all the love and attention. You can find me playing “Where did the red dot go?” with my feline friends and also giving them all the love and attention. I have experience with drop-in visits and in-home pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routes. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending my free time taking care of animals. I enjoy being active and already go on plenty of walks and runs. Adding a dog would just making my walks a lot better! I follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeing, walking, playtime, and medication if needed. I’m respectful of your home, and make sure everything in clean and locked up before I leave. I also update you with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and taken care of. 🐶😺
About: I will love your pets the way I loved mine. I recently lost my two miniature schnauzers, Fiona and Toughy, after 15 and 16 beautiful years together. That kind of love doesn’t go anywhere. It just gets poured into every pet I have the privilege of caring for. I’m based in St. Petersburg and available for pet sitting. Since I don’t drive, I keep my focus close to home, which means your pet (and your home) gets my full, unhurried attention. I know what it means to hand over your keys and your baby to someone. I treat every home I enter with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. You’ll always know what’s going on. I communicate, I notice the little things, and I don’t cut corners. Your pets aren’t clients to me. They never have been. About your pet: Tell me their quirks, their routine, what makes them feel safe. That’s the stuff that matters most to me. In the midst of my flexible work-from-home routine, I have ample availability on both weekdays and weekends, I'm not just a pet caregiver, I'm a companion for your fur babies. Whether it's daily walks or playtime, I ensure your babies receive the love and attention they deserve. Your pets are not just clients; they're family. Let me make your life easier and their tails wag happier! 🐾 Creating a safe and trusting environment is a top priority in both my personal and professional life. In addition to consistent care, attention to their needs, and open communication with pet parents, it's not just about feeding and walking; it's about creating a haven where pets can feel safe and happy.
“Jane was EXCELLENT!! She went above and beyond to make sure she and Tally got along before committing to house sitting with her, provided regular updates throughout the weekend, and then stayed past her scheduled time until we arrived home after Tally got into something in the backyard and wasn't feeling well. We will definitely be using Jane again in the future and cannot recommend her highly enough!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so they have always just been a part of the family. I recently adopted my sweet perfect angel kitty Lola and helped my old roomates out with their cats so I love them as well. I am a law student so I have 2-3 hour classes periodically throughout the week. I also volunteer as a Guardian Ad Litem and with gulf coast legal services so sometimes I have those obligations as well. I will not bring pets into my home but can definitely visit yours and your fur baby as needed! I look forward to meeting you and your fur child
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so they have always just been a part of the family. My sister/ roommate recently adopted a sweet little angel kitty Lola and I’ve helped my old roommates out with their cats as well! I recently just graduated from USF with a BFA in Theatre Arts, with that comes the free time and schedule as my choosing until I book a gig :) I have full time availability as of right now and would love you help you with your fur baby! I will not bring pets into my home but can definitely visit yours and your fur baby as needed! I look forward to meeting you and your fur child
“This was our first time hiring Iva, and everything was wonderful. She was professional, communicative, took great care of our kids, and left our house as if she had never been there. We have already scheduled Iva again for our future travels!!”
“Alyssa was amazing with our 2 year old frenchtons . She stayed at our home and sent us a lot of videos and photos. She played and snuggled with them and gave them lots of love. I highly recommend Alyssa. She really cared and that goes a long way for us.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs from a very early age. Starting with feeding working all my way up into the dog sitting world😂 I have a few clients I work for here in st Pete when family vacations come around! I’m pretty flexible. I’m a full time nanny M-F but with the little not being in school yet I’m pretty flexible. I start work usually around 9 and off at 5 with a 3ish hour break in the middle. I have a reliable car (2016 Honda accord) and like to be prompt and on time (sometimes a little too prompt) The care of your pets is my #1 priority. Making sure they feel as if you were home. I treat every pet with the utmost care, respect and love as if they were my own. Pets are like our children so we want what’s best for them. Pet mental health is just like our own. Knowing someone is there to make them feel safe and comfortable is what I strive towards.

Jane was EXCELLENT!!

We will definitely be using Jane again in the future and cannot recommend her highly enough!!
We had an excellent experience with Shannon! She stayed in our home and cared for our dogs for five nights. Although she was a new sitter for us, she immediately made us feel comfortable with how thorough and detail-oriented she was throughout the process of getting to know us, our home, and the dogs. Her communication was excellent, and she was wonderful with both of them. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and would highly recommend her!
Britt was very very patient with Louie. We lost our oldest dog about 5 weeks ago and this is the first time Louie stayed home by himself. Also the first time he met Brittany so a lot of new things happening. At first Louie did not want to go on a walk with Brittany but finally he got used to her and behaved like the sweet boy he is!! We would definitely hire her again. Specially now that Louie is familiar with her!
Lisa was so wonderful with our 16 year old pups. Our Goldendoodle has hip and weak back legs needing help getting up, a special hip brace for walks and overall extra care. She was so loving with her and aware when a storm was approaching to put her thunder vest on. I just can’t say enough good things about her. Thanks Lisa for loving our fur babies as much as we do!
I've never used a dog sitter before, so I was initially hesitant of hiring anyone I didn't know to come to my home and watch my dogs while I was away. Maria did a fantastic job watching my two bigger dogs and left my home the same way it was when I left. She asked questions to ensure she could provide the best care for them, showed up on time, and sent us updates every day. I would definitely use her again if needed. I would highly recommend her if you need your dogs to be watched!
Reanna was wonderful! My dog and my cat loved her and she took wonderful care of them and my house while I was away. I am a very new dog owner so I felt reassured by all the photos she sent and the frequent updates while I was away, it was good to know they were in good hands!
Jennifer did a great job house and cat sitting. I leave directions for sitters and she followed all directions perfectly. It takes a while for my cat to warm up to new people, and this stay was only several days, but my cat did start to come out before the stay ended, and seemed comfortable with Jennifer. Something that’s important for those of us with scaredy-cats. I’d definitely hire her again

FAQs for House Sitting - South Pasadena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Pasadena on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,818 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred South Pasadena walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in South Pasadena maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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 sitter.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
