“Grace was wonderful with my cat, Misha. She gave me regular updates and followed my cat’s super particular schedule. My cat was acting well loved when I got home. Everything went great; and I would not hesitate to have Grace housesit my cat again.”
“Eneida is young but very experienced with dogs. She handled well my super high energy Lakeland and aged and low energy Airedale terrier. She loves animals and is very dedicated to them. She is very responsible and kept the house organized the way I left.”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing! We felt completely at ease during our vacation, knowing our dogs were in excellent care. She provided frequent updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. Our house looked just as we left it.Our house was exactly as we had left it. I highly recommend Shannon as a sitter; we’re so glad we found her!”
“Margaret was wonderful! She shared so many fun experiences with our dog Daisy while she sat her at our house. She took her to the beach for the first time and played the entire time! We definitely recommend her!”
“Renee was excellent with our girl. We felt so comfortable with her from the first meet and greet. Very responsive and stayed in touch with pictures and videos each day. She was on top of everything! We will definitely have Renee back to watch Angel again.”
“Michael was extremely wonderful with our dog Luna, she is very strong and with her high prey drive she can be alot for some people to handle. Luna was very happy in all the pictures I received, and I was happy to come home to a well exercised and cared for pup.”
“Rebecca is incredibly reliable, caring and phenomenal with my dog Cash. I trust that when she’s with him, she is giving him all the attention, multiple walks a day, and she even takes him on adventures while they are together. Cash gets visibly excited to see her each time and it’s easy to see that he loves spending time with her. When I’m away I have all the peace of mind knowing that Cash is in the best hands. Rebecca always leaves my house better than she found it and makes sure Cash is fed, cared for and exercised! I can’t recommend her more for help with animals!”
“Amelia was great staying with my parent’s dog (Lulu) for the night. They had been trying to find someone for occasional overnight stays and are happy with Amelia’s care for Lulu”
“Ariana and her daughter were amazing house/dog sitters for our 12 year old Puggle, Finn. Finn took to them immediately which instantly eased my mind. It was obvious that they were true animal people. Ariana provided excellent communication/updates throughout our weekend away, and the house was left immaculate upon our return. If you want stress-free, trustworthy care for your pets, I would highly recommend Ariana.”
“Jill is amazing! We are so lucky to have found her. We just moved to the area and didn’t have coverage for our week-long vacation. She was professional, super communicative, and kindly pretended not to notice how neurotic I am about my aging shih tzu. She is the reason we were able to enjoy our vacation, and I am grateful beyond words. We will definitely be calling Jill again. And again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. As a longtime pet owner, I understand that every animal has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, basic grooming, medication reminders, and keeping pet parents updated while they’re away. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that fits their needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting based on my availability, and I’ll communicate clearly about scheduling. I understand pets thrive on routine, so I’ll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime schedules consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m a responsible pet owner myself and understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets appropriately, and provide regular updates. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own.
About: I used to help care for a friend/family member’s fur kids, and honestly, I miss it more than I expected. When I moved out, they haven’t needed me as much, but a little sad for me! I miss the walks, the feeding routines, and all those quiet little bonding moments. I may be new to Rover, but I see it as the perfect excuse to get back to something I really enjoy. Think of me as your pet’s cool aunt with patience, care, and a lot of affection. My top priority is making every pet feel safe and comfortable, like they’re with someone they already trust. And yes, I fully believe in extra belly rubs and a little goofy energy when needed. I’m pretty flexible right now, so I’d really appreciate some advance notice to help me plan my schedule. I’d also love to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, secure, and at ease. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks or park runs, bringing some goofy energy, or just relaxing together. Of course, plenty of belly rubs whenever they’re wanted. I adapt to whatever they need. I’m also happy to follow any instructions you have to keep things consistent for your fur kid.
“We were really lucky to find Carol! She took great care of a grumpy, elderly Shih Tzu and was clearly patient with my old lady. I received regular updates and photos, and she reviewed all of the crazy instructions for Coco’s care. She also left the house in great shape! I would highly recommend her!”
“Katrin in awesome! Our shy/nervous dog always has a great time when she watches him. She is also super flexible and has helped watch Max on multiple holidays and last minute for us. We absolutely recommend her!!”
“Joanna and her daughter took excellent care of our two dogs and our house! They kept us updated with frequent photos of our dogs, which was a nice touch. This was our first time booking on Rover so we were a little nervous, but after meeting Joanna, we were at ease. She exceeded all of our expectations and we plan on booking her again during our next vacation. She is a top notch pet/house sitter! A+++ Thank you, Joanna!!”
“It felt so good going away and leaving our dog and cat and house in janette’s care. We booked her super last minute for Thanksgiving week and she came and did a meet and greet next day and was very sweet with our pets and sent pictures and updates. Highly recommend and will definitely connect with her again for care.”
“Jacqueline watched our two rescue dogs (ages 3 and 6) in our house for a week and did a fabulous job! She was so understanding of their behavioral quirks and kept us updated frequently. It was a relief knowing they were in such good hands and seeing photos of their happy faces while we were away. Thank you, Jacqueline!”

I have used Grace twice now for overnight stays. I would recommend her highly. She communicated with me daily and sent pictures. She was very reassuring and responsible. When I came home, everything was exactly as when I left. I will definitely use Grace again if I need an overnight sitter.

Patricia, was fantastic! She took my (very, very, particular) instructions in stride and followed them perfectly. She was great with my (also very particular) cat, Misha, and even got her to play, which almost never happens with new people! She was super responsive during a very long trip and sent me the best photos anyone has ever taken of my cat as regular updates. I could not recommend her more! :)
We had to go out of town - leaving our 5 pets one of whom was a new adoptee with some trust issues and one of whom needed some medication and tlc. Sherri came over to meet us all and I was quickly assured that the pets would all be in great hands with her. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about our cats and dogs. The animals all warmed up to her quickly and she sent me lots of photos and reached out with any questions. We came home to happy pets and a well cared for house. I highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Glastonbury Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glastonbury Center on Rover is $32.1 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 1,454 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glastonbury Center. 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 Glastonbury Center 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 Glastonbury Center 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 Glastonbury Center 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.

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.
