“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Blas stayed at our home to take care of our doggies, and everything went perfectly. He kept us updated with photos and messages, and clearly treated our dogs like family. It gave us so much peace of mind to know they were in such good hands while we were away. Highly recommend Blas to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. We’ll definitely book again in the future!”

“Yolanda is super patient with my 17-yo cat. The care she provided was awesome and she truly does spend time with Franklin, which is what I really needed. Franklin was well taken care of, well fed, and even when my cat was sick, she took care of him with patience and love. I definitely slept better at night knowing my cat is in good hands.”

About: Hi, My name is Michael M. I just moved backed home to Miami. Since my first memories we have always owned dogs. My mom had a habit of picking up stray dogs. Her heart always broke when she saw a furry defenseless dog begging for food or needing shelter. My mom's big heart exposed me to many types of dogs all different sizes and temperament. I have been dog sitting for a while now and it's one of my favorite things to do. I am a realtor and I am able to work from home during the day while clients are working and when I am away it's for only a few hours at a time. I have a fenced yard. Like I said my dog loves social interaction with other friendly doggies and would love to find friends he could play with. I am a real estate agent with my office at home. I will be able to watch over them while they play.

I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, my home was left spotless and well cared for. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with 3 dogs and 4 cats. My oldest dog had a stroke and I had to learn all about the recovery process and help him through that. I also have puppy training experience with my youngest dog. I have fostered 12 cats and one of them being completely blind. I am very well equipped for any dog or cat that needs pet care. I am currently in school but my classes are online so my schedule is extremely flexible and open depending on when I get notified of any jobs that may need to be done. I take my dogs on walks twice a day and love playing with dogs and cats. I have no problem with crate training or any training that might be needed.

About: As a lifelong pet owner of 16+ years, I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. I also have professional experience working at a dog hotel, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as cats. My specialties are cat sitting and dog walking, but I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of pets and their individual needs. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. ❤️ I’m very flexible and available, and I’m happy to work around your schedule and discuss pricing that works for both of us. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in good hands! 🐶🐱💕 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly schedule. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits, walks, and regular pet-care needs throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether that means morning or evening visits, feeding schedules, litter-box maintenance, playtime, or walks. I’m dependable, communicative, and willing to coordinate a schedule that works best for both you and your pet. I would care for another person’s pet with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’d take the time to understand their routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before getting started. During each visit, I’d make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, appropriate exercise and playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’d also keep their owner updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is safe and happy. Most importantly, I’d respect each pet’s individual needs and their owner’s home and instructions, making their time apart as stress-free as possible. 🐶🐱❤️

“Mia did such an amazing job with Milo and Theo. She was prompt with responding to my messages and communicating if she was running late. My Theo got an upset tummy and she was proactive to communicate with me and give him some medicine I had in the house. I came back and my home was how I left it any boys were happy to see me. I would definitely book with her again.”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I truly grew up around them, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. I have an enormous love for animals, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. As a dog owner myself, I completely understand how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind when you have work, travel, or other responsibilities. That’s why I make it a priority to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your pup feels at home. Communication is very important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away. I want you to feel at ease knowing your dog is in good hands. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and wellbeing will always come first with me I currently work from home . I am doing this because I know how hard it is to leave your pet when you have responsibilities. Leaving them with someone who is also trustworthy is the most important part. I have a fur baby as well that is 8 months. Her name is Mia she is a toy poodle she is the most love able little girl, she will definitely keep your dog company and play with them. My house is very secure, I do have a balcony but it is 100% secure as well.

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets since I was five years old which has given me a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all ages sizes and personalities. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do - I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine , personality and needs to ensure they are comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to feeding plans, or just simply spending quality time with them. I want every pet to have a positive stress-free experience. I work full time 4 days out of the week. I have Saturday, Sunday and Monday off. I also wake up very early at 6 am and I always have a lot of time after i finish work at 6 to make sure any booked pets are well taken care of. With animals, it is all about body language. I would make sure they approach me and get to know me first before I reach out and make contact myself. Only after then I can tell if the pet is skid-dish and needs some time and encouragement or if they trust easy I would make sure to acknowledge that and show the love back. Going from there I would be able to handle them like they were my own and make sure they are well taken care of. These animals are souls that cannot express themselves with words and I make sure I can hear them and have them trust me.

About: Ive taken care of dogs / cats ever sincei was a child. I always had a love for animals ever since i could remember. I have 1 cat & 1 dog of my own who are very happy loved. My work schedule is very flexible and for most days i work from home so I’ll be there to care and watch the animals whenever i have a pet in my care. I have a backyard that is pretty spacious and I also have an area in the front that has a decent amount of space. The entire property is gated so there is no way for them to escape. They can play outside or inside, whichever the animal prefers in that moment.

Mercedes and Andreina were absolutely fantastic pet sitters! They were professional from the very beginning, taking the time to complete a thorough meet-and-greet and carefully note all of our specific instructions for caring for our dog and cat. Throughout their stay, they provided daily updates with beautiful pictures and thoughtful details about our pets’ routines. They were friendly, loving, attentive, and diligent, and they made us feel completely confident that our pets were in wonderful hands. They were also very responsive to our texts and always replied promptly. They took excellent care of our home as well. Everything was left immaculate—there was no trace that anyone had stayed there! They are bilingual in English and Spanish, which is an added bonus. We were especially touched by the beautiful thank-you card they left, complete with pictures documenting our pets’ special “camp.” The stickers for the Cat Mom and Dog Mom were such a thoughtful and adorable touch! Mercedes and Andreina truly became like family to us. They were highly recommended by our neighbors, and we are so glad we found them. We will absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to other pet parents. Thank you, Mercedes and Andreina, for taking such wonderful care of our pets! ¡Mercedes y Andreina fueron unas cuidadoras de mascotas absolutamente fantásticas! Desde el principio fueron muy profesionales: se tomaron el tiempo para hacer una reunión inicial detallada y anotaron cuidadosamente todas nuestras instrucciones específicas para el cuidado de nuestro perro y nuestro gato. Durante su estadía, nos enviaron actualizaciones diarias con fotos hermosas y detalles muy atentos sobre la rutina de nuestras mascotas. Fueron amables, cariñosas, atentas y muy responsables, y nos hicieron sentir completamente tranquilos al saber que nuestras mascotas estaban en excelentes manos. También respondieron rápidamente a nuestros mensajes. Además, cuidaron nuestra casa de maravilla. ¡La dejaron impecable; no había ninguna señal de que alguien hubiera estado allí! También son bilingües, ya que hablan inglés y español, lo cual es una ventaja adicional. Nos conmovió especialmente la hermosa tarjeta de agradecimiento que dejaron, acompañada de fotos que documentaban el “campamento especial” de nuestras mascotas. ¡Las calcomanías para la mamá del gato y la mamá del perro fueron un detalle muy tierno y considerado! Mercedes y Andreina realmente se convirtieron en parte de nuestra familia. Nuestros vecinos nos las recomendaron mucho, y estamos muy felices de haberlas encontrado. Sin duda volveremos a contar con sus servicios y las recomendamos ampliamente a otros dueños de mascotas. ¡Muchas gracias, Mercedes y Andreina, por cuidar tan maravillosamente de nuestras mascotas!

She was absolutely amazing with my Joey and Venus! She was so caring, patient, and attentive, and she even took the time to work on training with both of them. Venus can be shy around new people, so having someone who understood her and was patient with her meant so much to me. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for all the love and effort she put into caring for them. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter! ❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Gladeview

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Gladeview is $78 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $78 and $94 per night. On Rover, sitters 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 4,092 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gladeview. 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 Gladeview 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 Gladeview 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 Gladeview 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.

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.

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