“Letitia did an excellent job of house sitting with Dash, our English Setter. He can be a handful. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Letitia also sent us photos and updates on how Dash was doing.”
“My husband and I were very nervous about having a stranger watch our babies. Hillary was very understanding and she kept us informed throughout her entire stay. We have 2 older dogs that required extra attention, she gave them their medications, monitored their eating and kept us up to date on their status. Hillary went above and beyond, she washed the dishes and the sheets in the room she stayed in. We would definitely hire her again.”
“I am so grateful for Edith’s exceptional care for my two small dogs during her recent six-night stay at my home. From the start, Edith was attentive, reliable, and truly dedicated to ensuring my pets felt safe, happy, and comfortable. She kept me updated daily, providing not only peace of mind but also a reassuring sense of connection with my pups. Her thoughtful updates and photos allowed me to see just how well my dogs were doing in her care. Beyond her excellent communication, Edith went above and beyond in her role. She treated my home with the utmost respect, leaving everything tidy and just as I had left it. My dogs quickly warmed up to her gentle and caring nature, and it was evident that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. I could tell they were relaxed and well-cared-for, which speaks volumes about Edith’s attentive and compassionate approach. If you’re looking for someone who is not only professional but also treats your pets like her own, I would highly recommend Edith. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Angellee is an angel in disguise. She has been providing dog sitting services and loving care for our dogs for about 3 years now. Our dogs love her! She follows all directions, respects our home and we feel like we are family. We appreciate her flexibility and always look forward to her visits. Thank you, Angellee!”
“Ann was amazing. We recently had her care for our two pets while we were on vacation for 11 days. We have two seniors including a bulldog and it was extremely hot while we were out. She took amazing care of them when we returned they were happy and healthy. She communicated with us throughout our trip with pictures and anecdotes so that we felt comfortable and could enjoy ourselves without worrying about our fur babies. We definitely would love to use and services again”
“Summer was awesome. She sent pics regularly of our pups and wasn’t bugged by this fur mamas constant requests. She left the house spotless and even took sheets off the bed and folded them. Can’t wait to use her again ♥️?”
“Cindy did a great job watching our dog, Ellie, while house sitting. She is communicative, punctual, reliable, and friendly. This was the first time we invited a house sitter to watch Ellie and Ellie was very happy with Cindy taking care of her. We’d definitely recommend Cindy for house sitting and taking care of your pets.”
About: I love animals I have always had at least one pet in my home since I was born, I've taken care of Dogs, Cats, Birds (parakeets), Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Rabbit and Red Eared Slider turtles. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets as one of my own, you can trust me with your babies. I worked at a doggy daycare so I've been around all different types of dogs and know about the different temperaments and can deal with all different personalities and needs. I also worked at Anaheim feed and learned a lot about pet nutrition and products so if you have any questions please do ask. I love to do research on animals and use natural/holistic methods when applicable. I go above and beyond to make sure your pet is always safe and taken care of, while walking I always am aware of my surroundings and on alert for lose dogs, broken glass and food on the floor and make sure to take every precaution to not run into any of those things. I will run with your dog if it needs to get more energy out. I supply my own earth friendly poop bags as well. About this sitter: Why I love dog sitting: I have always had dogs since I was little my dogs were always my best friends. I am a very good dog owner I make my own natural, organic, limited ingredient dog treats, clean and groom my dogs (bathe, brush, clean ears, trim nails, brush teeth), massage, take them for walks daily, and the dog park and sometimes the dog beach and make sure they always feel loved. I love making people and dogs happy so please, let me! Meet my pets: I have two rescue pups Husky Lab German shepherd Australian shepherd mix named Zoey and a Husky Doberman Pitt Bull mix names Flynn. I currently work at trader joes and have a flexible schedule and am able to stay at your house to help your pets stay comfortable while you're away. My dogs are friendly with other dogs we have a huge 7 foot brick wall surrounding the backyard and a locked gate as well so it's impenetrable. I like to make dog treats so if you don't mind ill make your dogs some treats
“Another amazing house/dog-sitting experience with Destiny! Our pups love her and we love her. She's very communicative, helpful, and professional. We're looking forward to her next stay!!!”
“Nick did a great job taking care of my dog and cats. He provided great communication and was reliable. I will be booking him again in the future. I would definitely recommend him to friends.”
About: My area of expertise is in taking care of dogs! I’ve done everything, from pet sitting, to taking dogs on walks, to preparing meals, and keeping pups entertained! I am extremely flexible! I’m available whenever you need between 7 a.m.-10 p.m. every day of the week (including weekends)! If you need me outside of these hours I may be able to work around that, just let me know! I will be sure to keep a close eye on your fur-baby and give you updates on how they’re doing by frequently sending photos and videos to keep you updated!
“Myles was an great house sitter and companion for my 3-year-old Boxer, Layla. Layla, who was recently rescued, is still working on her trust issues, but by the second day, she was following him everywhere. Myles is polite, kind, and reliable. I’d love for him to look after Layla again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets ever since I was 12. I’ve also had experience with puppies and elderly dogs. Family and friends always rely on me to take care of their dogs while on vacation and I’d say I do a pretty good job! I am currently home for college and would love to pet sit for anyone in need of a sitter. Anytime works for me. I’d be happy to help! I usually like to give dogs a walk if they’re up for it. I give them food and make sure they’re well fed. I also give them baths on occasion!
“We used Cheyenne for house sitting for our dog and cat and we cannot recommend her enough. We got frequent photos and videos, the animals were played with and loved, and she printed out cute photos of them as a welcome home gift. Thank you again, Cheyenne!”
“Rachel did such a fantastic job taking care of my pup! I felt at ease the entire time. She sent lots of updates and pictures/videos of my Ellie, she even brought her some treats and a toy!”
“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.”
“Second time I had Cielo housesit for my cats while I was away for the day. She did great - very responsive and provided several updates with pictures throughout the day. Definitely eased my worries and kept the peace between my pets while I was away. I highly recommend her without any hesitation! Thank you, Cielo!!!!”
“Kirsten is a godsend! She handled my 2 needy dogs and 4 cats without any problem! I felt totally relaxed knowing my babies were well taken care of ! I highly recommend her 😊”
“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glen Avon. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
