âConstance was great with our blind dog. She made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. She also communicated with me so I knew he was in good hands.â

âJasmine takes such wonderful care of our boy! We appreciate all the pictures and updates when we are traveling, and we know that our pup and home are in good hands while we are away. Thank you Jasmine!â

âShirley was fantastic-- she came for a meet and greet on her own time even though we only had a one night booking and took care of both of our aged pets, giving them meds and dealing with an incontinent dog. She did it all with a smile! Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice, detailed oriented and responsive sitter.â

About: I am an enthusiastic pet lover and have lots of experience walking dogs. I am temporarily living in Parkville, MD. I am accepting one-time or temporary repeat clients (around 3 months). I currently have no pets but love spending time with dogs and cats. I work outside of 9-5 work hours, and am often off during the week, so my schedule is flexible. I will ensure to provide a safe and comfortable experience for your pet. I am unable to bring your pet into my own home but am adaptable and willing to work with you on caring for your furry friend at your residence.
âI really am honestly lost for words. Janelle is so passionate and caring not only for the fur babies she takes care of but for people as well. She always reassured me that my babyâs were on while I was away. She sent me pics and told me how their day was daily without me even asking. Our pups did wonderful with her. She was super gentle and kind. And if she needed anything she contacted me or used the tip sheet we gave her for guidance. Will be using Janelle again for Sure in the future. Thank you so much!!!!!!â


About: As a pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet feels secure! I currently work full-time but love spending my free time caring for animals! I'm primarily available during weekday evenings and on weekends for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their established routines, follow all care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I also believe communication is key! I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring hands.
âAbsolutely wonderful! For starters, my three dogs loved her! Even the one who is a little grumpy. She stayed in our house for three nights and looked after our dogs while there. She was very communicative, prompt, and respectful of our home! It looked like no one had even stayed there. Would love to book her services again (if our diaper dog didn't scare her off)!â

About: I am currently a school counselor in my 23rd year of service and trying to make some extra income. I love all animals. I have a cat and a border collie and Shih Tzu mix that my family and I recently rescued. I also have a 16 year old daughter who loves animals. I am reliable, flexible, patient, and caring. I have had a dog or cat my entire life. I have cared for many other peopleâs animals for them over the years. I have given dogs and cats insulin shots and also given medications if needed. I love taking walks and going to the multiple parks in the area. My neighbor is very pet-friendly and walkable. I will treat your pet as my own for the time I am watching them and give it lots of love and affection and care.
âLindsay was absolutely wonderful and took excellent care of our girls! She provided updates and pictures for us daily and appreciate her so much for taking such good care of them! We returned home to happy and relaxed pups and look forward to booking Lindsay again in the future!!â


âAddison stayed at our home for one week while caring for our two doodles, and she did an absolutely wonderful job. She provided daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions carefully and treated our dogs like they were her own. When we returned, our pups were happy, healthy, and clearly well lovedâand our home was just as we left it, which we truly appreciated. Addison is reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy, and we couldnât have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Addison and would absolutely book her again!â

âStephanie was so great to work with!! She was super responsive, kept me updated on the pups, and handled my two fur-crazies with ease. Would definitely have her for a doggie sleepover again!â

âAnna was an incredible baby sitter for Meatball. She not only went above and beyond for him, but she was also putting both my fiance and my minds at peace. Anna made sure to look after Meatball as if he were her own, nothing was ever too much and she always put in 100% for him. She took him on hikes, bought him new toys, made sure to give him constant love and most of all was always there for him whenever he needed her. Meatball loves Anna and was so happy and calm with her. She also took her time to train him, ensuring he felt more calm and less anxious walking on his leash and around other dogs. Anna was constant with updating us on how he was doing, which put our minds at ease as we were far away (dealing with a time difference too). Lastly we came home to a clean and respected home, which we truly appreciate. We would recommend Anna any day, thank you so much for all your effort and love.â

âRyan and Thomas house and pet sit for us for 12 nights- two dogs and four elderly cats- and we are absolutely thrilled with their service. Regular updates, and most importantly, our animals loved them. I look forward to using their services again. Two excellent human beings well worth the cost. So glad we found them!â

âEverything was excellent! I think Duke missed Corrie because he went looking for her thorough out the house after I got home and again this morning. Iâm jealous!! Ha ha. Highly recommend.â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Arm
It was a real pleasure, from the meet and greet and throughout the week. Jackie took care of my puppy and 2 cats, 1 very shy. Puppy is not the easiest, not fully house trained and very skittish on walks! Loved seeing the daily photos and updates. I highly recommend! Plus, her rates are very reasonable. đ
Kara was a lifesaver. This was my first time ever using a service like Rover. Iâve never left my dog with anyone before never friendly felt comfortable, but this time I had to try Kara was a true blessing. She took her time with Braxton. My dog is really not as social and only really likes 2 people . Kara was patient and kind with him. It took him a while to warm up to her,but I think eventually overtime he will get used to her. I felt comfortable leaving her with Braxton and the videos and update she sent me eased my mind. I really appreciate all of her patience with Braxton and Iâm sure the more o utilize her service, the better heâll be. I highly recommend Kara. She was very comforting, calm, and patient.

FAQs for House Sitting - Glen Arm
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,897 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glen Arm. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Glen Arm walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Glen Arm 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Glen Arm 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, youâll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
