“Edith was FANTASTIC! She did a great job looking after our girls while we were away and kept them safe and happy. She asked our communication preferences and did a great job keeping us updated on our dogs throughout our time away. She truly went above and beyond for our dogs and I know our girls had a great time with her! We would definitely use her for future trips away!”
“Ann took amazing care of our pup while we were away for a week. We loved getting the updates and never had to worry! When we arrived home, we could tell he was relaxed and extremely well taken care of!”

About: I’ve always had dogs under my care, I’m very nurturing and responsible. I like to take morning and afternoon walks. I’ve had senior pets before as well as young puppies! Im currently in college and not working so I’m home most of the time. I have a flexible schedule when it comes to my classes and I’m not gone for long periods of time. I have a fenced yard with lots of shade and no pool. All doors are always locked. We have cameras all around the outside of the house. My Spaniel gets along with all dogs and is super playful but if needed to be separated there’s gates to upstairs and kitchen.
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and grew up surrounded by dogs. I currently have an 11-year-old Corgi who means the world to me, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I'm happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your pup can get to know me and feel comfortable. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and any income I earn goes toward caring for my own dog, including his veterinary care. I look forward to giving your furry family member the attention, love, and care they deserve while you're away.
“Laurie Beth is simply amazing! I have two vocal beagles, one of which has severe anxiety and is epileptic. This dog is very slow to warm up to people. It took a bit but Laurie Beth got her to come around and even got kisses! I was stunned. Laurie was very punctual and sent videos and pictures. She treated my babies and our home like they were her own. Going out of town is now much easier. She will be sitting for us in the future”

“We are so happy we found Hillary to come and stay with our dogs. She is warm, kind, and very reliable. She followed our rather detailed instructions to the letter and sent us daily updates with pictures. We felt 100% at ease while we were gone, knowing that our dogs and our home were in very capable hands. We came home to a clean and tidy house and relaxed, happy dogs. We will definitely contact Hillary for all of our future pet sitting needs.”
“Elle was terrific! We needed care for our 2 dogs while we were gone to wedding. She came over and met us and the dogs ahead of time. The dogs loved her right off. She has a caring personality and they loved that... One of our dogs is a senior diabetic that needs shots. Elly was more than willing to handle that as well as the pills they needed. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how it was going. Everything went well and we plan to request her in the near future. So glad to have someone that we trust with their care.”
“I have booked Monique 2x now and she has been really helpful with our fur baby. She has been communicative and sending us updates. She also is very prompt with her visits. Thanks Monique for caring for our Marshall. We appreciate you. See you again soon!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Glen Avon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glen Avon on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,351 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glen Avon. 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 Glen Avon 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 Glen Avon 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 Glen Avon 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.
