“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! While I was away on a cruise, she took amazing care of my dog as if he were her own. She kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked happy, relaxed, and well-loved the entire time. It was clear she truly cares about animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I came home to a very happy pup and a clean space. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and full of love for pets. Thank you so much for everything! ♥️”
“Isabella took great care of our pups and we will definitely be using her again! She let us know how they were doing and was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m someone who has been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From growing up around dogs, cats, horses, and other animals to learning the unique personalities and needs of different breeds and species, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to provide safe, compassionate care. I currently have a spoiled 4-year-old Rottweiler who has lupus, so I’m experienced with caring for pets that require extra attention, medication, monitoring, and patience. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, recovering from an injury, or has ongoing medical needs, I understand how important it is to follow routines and provide attentive, loving care. I also have experience handling horses, which has taught me confidence, responsibility, and how to read animal body language. I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, respected, and loved, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Whether we’re going on walks, playing fetch, sticking to a familiar routine, or simply enjoying some quiet cuddles, my goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind every step of the way. I work 8-hour midday shifts, so I’m available mornings and evenings. Your pet’s routine, care, exercise, and attention will always remain my top priority. I follow each pet’s routine, provide constant supervision, ensure a safe environment, give plenty of love, and keep owners updated with photos and messages.
About: I've had pets since I can remember. Dogs, cats, a few farm animals. My dog passed recently and I dont feel ready to get a new pet yet. There's a hole though and I thought helping with the communities pets would help. I'm always the person at parties playing with the pets. I'm lucky that I work from home (can be moble) so I have the time to give someone else's pets all the love they could want. I work from home and other places. (Just need my phone and laptop) Don't have kids. Life is flexible. I do travel for work sometimes but I wouldnt schedule anything during those weeks. I do mutual aid but its never an hour or two at a time. I have a fenced in backyard. I live close to a park. I walk a lot. Furniture is dog friendly. They would have lots of attention. Happy to stay in your home also if that is easier for the pets.
“Thora was amazing! She took wonderful care of our pup and home while we were away. Her thoughtful updates kept us informed & gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. Our pup was happy and comfortable with her, and everything was in great shape when we returned. We highly recommend Thora for housesitting and will definitely book with her again 😊🐶🐾⭐️”
“Jamie is super kind, flexible and very dependable. Our dogs are well taken care of and super happy. It’s very comforting to know we don’t have to worry about our pets and our home.”
“Ellie was great with my two girls. She sent regular updates and spent a lot of time with them in the house and on walks. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. She gave me peace of mind while I was away and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Dylan is the best!! She stayed in our home with our two very active dogs for a full week. She stayed in touch daily with written updates and fabulous pictures of our fur babies. We returned to a house that was cleaner than we left it. Dylan also cared for outdoor plants as well as my seedling garden that needed daily checks for water and light. She took great care of our dogs and our place with amazing attention to detail. We will definitely rebook with her.”
“Our dogs love Dillon and we do too! It’s so reassuring to leave our house and beloved pets in his car when we’re gone. The house looks great when return and the animals are happy and contended thank you, Dillon.”
“Morgan is THE best! She is extremely skilled with training and understands dog behavior. Benson loved her from the start and I felt entirely confident in her ability to handle his admittedly wild side :) Morgan is reliable and sends both pictures and videos regularly. She never made me feel like I was bugging her for an update. She walked Benson according to his energy levels that day - I was so impressed with her initiative and willingness to make his time with her the best it could be. I will absolutely be using Morgan's dog sitting services again and am so thankful to have found her! I would highly recommend Morgan!!”
“Alexis was AMAZING!!! I would have her come back and watch our boys in a heartbeat! ❤️ She took such incredible care of them for the entire 2 weeks we were away, and it was so obvious how happy, loved, and well cared for they were when we got home. Alexis checked in with me every single day and sent photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dogs. We even had an unfortunate pipe flood issue at the house while we were gone, and Alexis handled the whole situation so graciously and calmly. She cleaned everything up and dealt with the unexpected mess without hesitation, which was incredibly appreciated and honestly went WAY beyond what we ever could have expected from anyone. Alexis is responsible, kind, communicative, trustworthy, and clearly has so much love for animals. Our boys absolutely adored her, and knowing they were in such good hands made being away for two weeks so much easier. We will 100% be booking Alexis again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets and home. 10/10 doesn’t even begin to cover it! 🐾❤️”
About: I have experience with all types of dog personalities, from very playful and friendly to highly anxious and reactive rescue dogs. I am happy to walk/run multiple times a day or take them to my apt dog yard with only trusted dogs that I am comfortable with. Whatever the client requires! I am currently home all day. I love to walk/run and I am happy to meet the exercise needs of your dog and send proof on my Garmin watch! I also have an apt dog yard and can take your dog out there to play fetch or hang out with other dogs I trust if you dog enjoys playtime. Or to just hang out with my dogs! I have two extremely friendly dogs. I am happy to let them play together or take your dog on separate walks and runs. The goal is to not overwhelm your dogs and make them as happy as they can be!
About: For more than 15 years, I've been the person friends call when they need someone they completely trust with their pets and their home. I've cared for dogs and cats for everything from daily walks and check-ins to several-week stays, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal's unique personality. I naturally build trust with animals and have found that even more anxious, reactive, or shy pets often settle quickly with me. I've cared for dogs with social anxiety, leash reactivity, and strong personalities, and I enjoy helping them feel safe, confident, and understood. I'm also comfortable with puppies and reinforcing basic training and routines while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals. When I'm caring for a pet, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Whether that's regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or simply quiet companionship, I enjoy giving each pet the attention and care they need to feel comfortable while their family is away. Clear communication is also important to me, so I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages to let you know how your pet is doing. I currently offer care in my clients' homes, where pets can stay in the environment they know and love. I find that keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps them feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, energy level, and preferences. Some love long walks and lots of play, while others are happiest with quiet companionship and sticking to their routine. I enjoy meeting them where they are and giving them the care they need rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I'll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection if they want it. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. At this time, I am not able to provide boarding in my own home, so all of my services take place in my clients' homes.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glen Haven is $17 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Haven 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 Haven 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 Haven 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 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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.

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.
