“Elaine has the friendliest and most caring attitude toward my dog. We have cameras at home and it’s beautiful seeing her interact with him, sitting on the stairs just to be near him (he likes to hang upstairs), and give him so many pets and cuddles.”
“Nicole is amazing, prompt and a pleasure to meet. We enjoyed the mountain snowboarding without any worries that Maverick was entertained while we were gone. We highly recommend Nicole when your in Big Bear Thank you Nicole ?”
About: I taken care when I was very young even taking care of ill/sick animals. I'll nurse them back to health when vets couldn't do it. I bottle feed and take them to the restroom when they are babies. I been taking care since 10 years old. I'm very open with my schedule and love to be around animals. I work from home working as a editor and have lots of free time. I have a gate area for all animals. I always have them on a leash and make sure we walk in the morning or evening. It's too hot for their paws if you have booties for them even great. Always have water on me and poop bags. I never have anything laying around for them to eat or play with. I'm always outside with them when need to go potty and play.
About: I grew up in a home filled with cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels and birds. I've reached an age where Im ready to give my all to their love and necessities full time. Im a stay at home empty nester mother who loves animals and the joy they bring. A house just really isn't a home without animals. Im very picky about the food my animals consume. I cook up 6 pounds of turkey a week with added vegetables, a scoop of Iams minichunks and a half of a can of wet food. Sometimes I add a packet of pedigree for a extra treat. People say I feed my dogs better than humans. 🤣
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all ages, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, lizards and other small animals. Every pet will receive patient, loving, and dependable care. I am currently retired, so I have plenty of time to devote to full time pet sitting. And to create a great experience for all pets I provide care in your home so your pets can feel safe and comfortable in familiar surrounds. I will follow their regular routine, including feeding, playtime, companionship, and walk when needed. Your pets w2ill receive dependable, loving care while your away.
“Well, I can't say enough words to express our appreciation & gratitude... Ayla responded at a last minute request & surpassed our expectations... We only had 1 visit with her thus far & she was punctual, professional, respected our home, & was very patient with our dog... My husband & I do not hesitate to recommend Ayla for dog-sitting... Thank you Ayla & we'll call upon you again!!!”
“Cadence will always be the best sitter we’ve ever had for our cat, Miso! We would not hesitate to choose Cadence again & again to take care of our place and Miso. Thank you for being so sweet to our lil family!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with Theo. She sent me videos and pictures of Theo every time as updates. Theo eventually got comfortable and enjoyed the stay. She could handle Theo's separation anxiety like a professional! 5/5 stars and Elizabeth went beyond my expectations.”
“Our shy and anxious puppy just adored Alyssa! He usually takes a long time to warm up to people, but became fast friends with her! We felt comfortable with her dog sitting in our house for 4 days, and will definitely book her again for our next trip.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a week while we were on vacation and took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Tomas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in his own environment with someone who truly cared for him. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all of Tomas’s routine and instructions, and treated our home with respect. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and Tomas was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.”
“I hired Kaylee to sit at my home with my Belgian Malinois with separation anxiety. I appreciate her quick responses thru the Rover App, and her willingness to arrive for an early morning appointment. We will definitely call Kaylee again in the near future.”
“This was the second time we asked Renee to watch our Aussie shepherd, Oliver, while we were on vacation outside the country. He loves her and Renee really takes care of Oliver as we would. Before we even book a vacation, we check Renee's schedule and make sure she is available. We were really confident during our vacation that Oliver was receiving spa treatment at home and loving every second of it. We have known Renee for the last couple of years and we consider her a good friend. We trust her with our home and Oliver. Renee takes lots of photos and videos, so we get plenty of updates and feedback on the hour to hour activities of Oliver. We highly recommend Renee. She is the best.”
About: Hi, I'm Chelsea! When you trust someone with your pets, you're trusting them with a member of your family, and that's a responsibility I take seriously. I'm an experienced pet care provider with a growing clientele and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic Bull Terriers and gentle giants like Great Danes and Great Pyrenees to shy, nervous, and reactive dogs, I've learned that successful pet care isn't one-size-fits-all. What sets me apart? I'm not someone who simply shows up, completes a service, and leaves. I pay attention to the little things: your pet's body language, energy levels, comfort, behavior, and individual needs. I believe in building trust with every animal in my care, especially those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I'm confident handling strong, energetic dogs and understand the importance of leash safety, environmental awareness, and recognizing potential triggers during walks. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. My experience doesn't stop with dogs! I've grown up surrounded by animals and currently care for my own dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles. I'm comfortable with multi-pet households and understand that different species require different routines, handling, and attention. Your home and your peace of mind matter, too. Alongside pet care, I have approximately 10 years of professional cleaning experience working inside clients' homes. I understand the importance of being dependable, respectful of your space, and trustworthy when you're not there. When you book with me, you can expect: - Attentive, individualized care tailored to your pet - Regular photo updates and honest communication - Patience with shy, nervous, or high-energy animals - Respect for your pet's established routines - A dependable professional who genuinely enjoys what she does My goal isn't just to provide a service. It's to become someone you and your pets look forward to seeing again. Whether you need a reliable dog walker, someone to check in on your pets, or a trusted sitter while you're away, I'd love the opportunity to earn your trust. Your pets deserve more than basic care. They deserve someone who pays attention, understands their needs, and treats them like family. I work part time and have a very flexible schedule to help with yours and your pets needs,most of the weekends im available as well! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow your care instructions carefully, provide plenty of love and attention, keep a clean and secure environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also send regular photo updates for peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets! From fish to birds to dogs, I love them all. I have experience taking care of puppies and also senior dogs, like my pup of 14 years. I’d love to make sure your pal is well taken care of! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friends! I’m available most days and am fully willing to work with your schedules! My home is fully fenced in front and back yard so no worries about unwanted friends. I’m comfortable with adapting to what makes your pet comfortable, may that be more quality time, enrichment, outside time, or whatever they may need.
“My 3 dogs loved Darian! They were so glad they did not have to stay at a kennel or at home alone and that he was there at night. Darian also picked up the mail and took them for walks and gave one dog medication. I would love to have him come back and stay again!”
About: I think my skills at handling animals is very rare cause I see them as family not pets and they deserve love also just like humans Because the love I have for them I can make time cause you make time for what you love and I’ve had several pets and loved them all I care for all pets as directed and make sure that I do as taught and told and nothing more cause it’s a process dealing with pets and they aren’t all the same
“Nichole was absolutely perfect. She took great care of my dog Kaya and left our house in pristine condition, which is always appreciated. She was very communicative and I was definitely put at ease while on our camping trip about any concerns over Kaya. Highly recommended. I will be contacting Nichole in the future :)”

FAQs for House Sitting - Glen Martin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,225 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glen Martin. 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 Martin 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 Martin 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 Martin 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.
