“Heather did an awesome job! She took really good care of my baby and went out of her way to build a bond with him. She sent daily pictures. I highly recommend her!”
About: My work allows me to work from home and I also leave the house to meet with clients out in my community (as a Real Estate Advisor) which allows me the flexibility to care for pets through the day. We are up at 5am and generally go to bed around 10pm. I am currently working part time and from home so that leaves any plenty of time to care for your dogs and someone is home around the clock. We have a quiet home but are always busy so your dog will stay motivated and keep active. Someone is always home so your dog will be well cared for. They won’t even know you’re gone! SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT: I offer both EXCLUSIVE boarding starting at $60/night and MULTI-family boarding starting at $35/night - your choice depending on your dogs comfort level with other dogs. If you choose EXCLUSIVE Boarding or Daycare, your dog/dogs will the only dogs in my home when they stay. We have a nice large fenced in backyard. And we NEVER LEAVE YOUR DOGS OUTSIDE ALONE OR UNATTENDED. If your dog is accustomed to going to kennels or doggy day care then I also offer a reduced rate for MULTI-FAMILY BOARDING in which your dog(s) could be with dogs from other homes, depending on your dogs’ temperament and disposition. I DO NOT MIX AGGRESSIVE DOGS TOGETHER. I know my regular clients very well and understand which dogs may or may not be a good fit for each other. If your dog likes being crated at night or when we leave the house , I do have crates. Just let us know your preference and if your dog has any anxiety or fears. Tell us how you like your dog cared for and we will make accommodations accordingly! We live in a neighborhood with sidewalks so we can also take your dog for a stroll or an active walk (weather permitting). In the middle of summertime we are very careful so as not to overheat your pup! We also have a digital thermostat and solar so our air conditioning in the hot summertime is monitored and we love keeping the house cool for us and the pups!
“First time we hired a dog sitter. Devin was cordial, knowledgeable, and professional. And Max readily took to him. We would not hesitate to call upon him in the future.”
“Brittany was amazing!! She took amazing care of my fur babies the entire time, my flight home got delayed and she still got up and took care of them. I wouldn’t trust anybody with my. babies more than her!!!”
“We are so happy we found Kimberly ! She is so great with Denver and so thorough. She leaves detailed notes of the visit which gives us a great sense of relief when we can’t be there with him. We will ask for her every time !”
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.
“Dylan went above and beyond to get to our house to take good care of our sweet rabbit for 9 days during a huge winter storm. He shoveled and had to walk in from the road due to all the snow and he kept us up to date daily.”
“Andrea is a gem! I’m so happy I found her and met with her to potentially visit our frenchies. She was so organized and took notes and kept in consistent contact with me. Very punctual and appears to really love dogs. One Frenchie is alpha and very protective and it seemed that she was able to interact and take her potty on a leash and stroll her and play with her afterwards in our condo with no problems. Lucy, the Frenchie, got a great report card from Andrea. I think Andrea will come back. We are only part-time residents in Madeira Beach but I will definitely reach out to book her again. Makes my life so much easier. Thank you Andrea for being a dog lover and doing this service. 🥰”
About: Hi! I’m currently finishing my certification with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy (positive reinforcement), and I am a soon to be working closely with an experienced trainer. I am good at reading dog body language and helping dogs feel safe and relaxed in my home. As a semi-retired teacher, I’m home throughout the day and structure my time around walks, enrichment, play, and rest, so visiting dogs naturally become part of a predictable, low-stress routine. As a semi-retired teacher, I structure my day around walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest periods, so visiting or boarding dogs easily fold into that routine. I’m home throughout the day, which helps me give lots of attention and keep a calm, predictable environment. My home fully fenced with plenty of sectioned off spaces including a small pool for any dog who loves a little structured swim time - calling all Goldens and Labs!! 🤿💦🐟🏊 For dogs who enjoy activity, I offer: *Supervised yard play and enrichment *Optional splash/play time in the pool (weather permitting & always supervised) Snuffle mats, puzzle games, and structured downtime.
“Marlene went up and above when I accidentally locked my door, she couldn't get In my home ,she stayed there until a locksmith could get there and let her in ,thank you so much”
“Anne did so good for the first time staying with Cooper. She interacted with him and was very pleased with her handling & caring of our baby. We hope she will stay with Cooper again.”
“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!”
“Alison is amazing with our pitty, Sadie has always had anxiety issues and with only 2 drop in visits Sadie is giving her kisses and warming up so much to her. We are so thankful we have found Alison to be part of our babies life's”
About: I own 2 cats myself and have taken care of/lived with a large dog before (German shepherd). I have more experience with cats but have taken care of multiple types of dogs. I am open to animals that may have some disabilities as well. I have experience taking care of blind dogs/senior dogs! I am located on st Pete beach but am open to the surrounding Tampa Bay Area. I work full time but it is a late/evening shift so I can be available during the day as well as nights after work. 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 pets so I can understand them better.
About: We currently have 4 babies of our own ( our latest we rescued on Dec 19) and have had at least 1 dog my entire life! Animals are the most special babies in the world. If I could save every animal I would. I promise to love your baby and care for it like I do my own! ❤️ I’m available Mon-Friday 9am-8:30pm and Saturdays & Sunday’s from 8-12pm. Please feel free to reach out if you are needing hours I don’t offer and I’ll see what I can do! I promise to love and care for your baby as I do my own four fur babies. I can either walk them or play with them outside if you have a fenced in yard. You tell me what you are needing and I can provide.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
Andrea was truly fantastic! She was so professional and so great with Lady. She responded quickly and made me feel comfortable right away. We will use her again for sure! Nothing better than finding someone who really cares about your dog and having real peace of mind to leave them comfy at home.
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!
Cassandra was an amazing sitter for our cat. We were nervous since this was the first time our cat was traveling with us and the first time we used Rover but Cassandra did everything she could to make us feel comfortable and spent extra time making sure our cat was cared for and she went above and beyond! I would recommend her and use her again. Five stars. Thank you!
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!
Hilary is AMAZING! 😍😍 We are anxious cat Moms because we are home with our 3 cats most days. We were looking for someone who is great at communication, loves animals, and someone we vibe with. Hilary met and exceeded those on our first meet up, our cats were instantly comfortable. The first cat sitting visit went so well. Hilary sent pictures upon arriving, more of our kitties during the visit, and a message when she left. We could not be happier with Hilary. Our kitties are excited for their next hang out with her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 6,391 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Pasadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South Pasadena stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Pasadena. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
