About: My area of expertise is in taking care of dogs! I’ve done practically 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!
“Jennifer came through after me and my wife made a desperate last minute request for a 3 night overnight stay to watch our two cats. She responded quickly and cordially that very night even with us providing short notice. She had a very trusting and calming presence when we met and I felt immediately secure in our choice. During the stay Jennifer remained in contact with us, sending pictures and accounting on the cats’ day to day whereabouts. She clearly has a passion for animals and it shows. I’m grateful she was able to fit us into her schedule and stay committed to the request throughout the entire stay regardless of her having other clients and other jobs to attend to. My wife and I were able to rest peacefully during our wedding/honeymoon because it was clear she had completely control of our home situation with the cats. I will absolutely be requesting Jennifer’s services next time we are out of town! Thanks Jennifer!”
About: I have had and cared for dogs my entire life, ranging from rescues to purebred puppies, and from small breeds to very large dogs. I especially love big dogs and am very comfortable handling strong, high-energy breeds. Currently, I have two pitbull/boxer mix rescues and a pure Anatolian Shepherd Dog, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and attentive care. I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am dependable, caring, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and love they deserve! As a collegiate athlete home for the summer, pet care fits well into my daily routine and gives me the opportunity to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love combining my own exercise with caring for dogs through walks, runs, and active playtime. Since I already have experience caring for my own dogs, adding pet sitting into my schedule feels very natural, and I enjoy giving dogs the attention, activity, and care they need throughout the day. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are in my home or their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I especially enjoy keeping dogs active through walks or runs, while also making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I focus on creating a calm, dependable environment where they feel comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 11. I’ve fed, walked, hiked, groomed, and have been the primary caretaker of my dogs. In addition, I have pet sat my friends dogs and cats for the last 7 years. I work full time and go to school part time. I love running and long walks, especially with a furry companion. Pet care is always a part of my life I have a fenced in yard with coyote fence rollers and a nice side yard that is made up mostly of grass so my dogs have plenty of room to run around. I typically do everything with my dogs which include sleeping with them, going on my daily walks with them, and feeding them on a strict schedule.
“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”

About: I've spent the last 4 years caring for other people's pets through dog walks, house sitting, feeding, and administering medications. As a pet owner myself with two dogs and one cat, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets like family. I have experience working with anxious pets and always take the time to learn each pet's unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, patient approach, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care while you're away. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind. Pet care fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine since I make my own work schedule. I have a flexible availability, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m able to adjust my day around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and house sitting to ensure consistent and reliable care. Because of this flexibility, I can provide dependable attention and stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. I ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and daily routine. I always take the time to understand each pet’s specific needs, personality, and any special instructions before care begins. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I follow all owner guidelines closely, including feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines.
About: I've been a cat parent for 8 years to my baby boy Snuggles, and I've done cat sitting for my friends and relatives many times over the last few years. I’m also helping my girlfriend raise kittens! I would do anything for any cat I meet, from strays on the street to your precious fur baby! I understand that cats are unique creatures, each with their own personalities, needs and boundaries. You can trust me to love, respect and care for your kitty. I can do anything you and your kitty need, from enriching playtime to following special feeding instructions to deep cleaning litter boxes. I'm a remote freelance artist and online student, so you can count on me to spend a lot of time at your home caring for your kitties! I'll only need to go out for occasional errands, but I'm free to spend lots of time making sure your kitty is cared for! I'll make sure your cat is safe, comfortable and stimulated with playful activities! I'll always keep an eye on your fur baby and make sure they stay out of trouble and have all their needs met.
“Yu Jie was absolutely awesome, especially being available for me on such short notice. She pampered my bundle of joy, Spirit, by taking him on multiple walks, playing with him, and keeping him entertained. With all his energy, she made sure he stayed active and happy. She also made sure he ate at his appropriate time, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. Yu Jie went above and beyond, by not just meeting his needs, but making him feel loved. She is welcoming, kind, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. I will definitely continue to trust her with my Spirit and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to take care of their furry babies.”
“Karley was not only incredible with the pups but was also so accommodating to our location and schedule. I would 100 percent recommend her as well as use her again. Also, I should mention that our senior chihuahua does not usually like being left with people besides us but she was so happy to be with Karley.”
“Thank you so much Zapporah for staying with our fur babies! They were happy to see us but you did an awesome job of taking care of them. Next time we need a sitter, definitely reaching out to you!”
“Mackenzie was great! She took the best care of our Charger girl. We received updates daily on how Charger was doing and what they were up too. Mackenzie took our girl on daily walks, got her to eat all her food which is sometimes a challenge and gave her medication as scheduled. I would highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone wanting a special person to take great care of their beloved pet.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Glen Avon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glen Avon on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,483 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.
