“Anh was wonderful with our dog Wilbur- she sent us updates and was really sweet to him. She stayed over at our place which we appreciated because our pup can get a little anxious. Anh left us a very nice note and left the house very clean. We will definitely be reaching out to Anh again until the future for dog care!!”
“I had the pleasure of meeting Aliyah during a meet-and-greet for my puppy, Asparagus, and I was very impressed. She was kind, knowledgeable, professional, and has a genuine love for animals. Asparagus had only been home with me for a few days after coming from a farm, so he’s still adjusting to city life and was understandably shy. Although he didn’t fully warm up to Aliyah, he did allow her to take him for a walk, and she was incredibly patient and respectful of his pace. Aliyah also shared some great tips to help keep him calm and settled, which I truly appreciated. This visit was simply to help them get acquainted, and I’m confident they’ll build a wonderful bond over time. We look forward to having Aliyh care for Asparagus in the near future. I highly recommend her!”
“Chandler is the BEST! I have a rescue dog with anxiety and she doesn’t always warm up to people so it has been hard to find a pet sitter that my girl Sadie is comfortable with. Chandler was sweet and patient with Sadie and they were cuddling on the couch in no time. I got lots of pictures and felt 100% sure Sadie was in great hands.”
“Alexandra was wonderful! She filled in with little notice when another person canceled on us. Alexandra was friendly, communicative and our dogs loved her! She put us at ease especially because this was only our second time using Rover and we had never left our dogs for this long before. I would absolutely recommend her and we definitely hope she will be available when we need her in the future.”
“Alayza was very attentive and patient with my pup! Updates and communication were quick and constant. My flight home was delayed but she accommodated the unexpected schedule change. Will definitely be asking for her expertise again! My pup absolutely loved her.”
About: I have a large fenced backyard and 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities and energy levels. I grew up with dogs and am comfortable with potty training, daily exercise, and maintaining good routines. I also have experience with senior dogs, special needs dogs, and giving medication when needed. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. while keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I am compatible with low energy and energetic dogs and know how to channel their energy into fun, productive activities that build confidence, reinforce good behavior, and strengthen important life skills. Whether your dog loves playing fetch, practicing basic commands, exploring new walking routes, or simply getting extra attention and companionship, I strive to make every visit enjoyable and enriching. I am free every day from Monday to Sunday from 11 AM until 1AM. I have a very flexible and free schedule . No dog is too much work for me. I can handle it all 😌. I go back to community college in the fall semester. So summer days are perfect for me. I am open to meet and greets before a booking is made. I have a pond behind my house where I can walk dogs to get in a good exercise. I also have a long sidewalk trail in my neighborhood that also has a great area of grass land for dogs to run and play. I lastly have a park 2 minutes from my house where dogs can run,play and interact with other dogs.
“I can’t say enough good things about Corraly! She’s been an absolute lifesaver for me and Cloud. From day one, they showed so much care, patience, and a genuine love for dogs that I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in her hands. Cloud always comes back happy, well-exercised, and honestly a little extra spoiled. She goes above and beyond to make sure my dog’s routine is followed, and they send me the cutest updates and photos, which truly puts my mind at ease.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to providing updates and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule offers flexibility throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I will always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet receives consistent care, attention, and companionship during each visit. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of affection into every pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I am attentive during walks, mindful of environmental hazards, and committed to maintaining a calm and positive experience for every pet. I will also provide updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any specific care requests. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for pets, so I focus on creating a calm environment filled with attention, supervision, and affection.
“Maria was so great! I loved that she wanted to do a meet and greet beforehand. I can tell Shiloh was well taken care of. Even when I got a little worried, she was able to quickly reassure me. I definitely plan on booking her again for my future trips if she’ll have us :)”
“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”
“Micaela was amazing once again! She sent multiple pictures and videos everyday and made sure Dax followed his normal routine. She was so respectful of my home and told me every time she left and came back. 100% will book again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was young, I usually specialize with cats and dogs since they’re mostly my favorites but I’m up for anything I currently work part time doing security work so I usually have time to house sit or go for walks whenever I’m not at work and I can call out if an emergency sitting is needed. I usually have my eyes on the pets at all times, they’re either nearby or directly in my view in case anything happens or they need to be get or taken care of but I can’t house them in my home.
About: I love animals big or small, taking care of animals is my top priority and I love to helping animals whether their stray or home pets I am currently employed part time and I saw that rover is hiring for pet sitting and walking and would love for you to let me get a chance to take care of your pet while you are at work I have a big yard, it is fenced, I currently have a 2 year old Yorkie who is just the sweetest thing ever and I also take care of 2 stray cats thats stays out side in our front yard I am currently working part time, but still manage to make time to care for your fur babies in between time, I am off every weekend ! I have a fenced yard, and a fur baby to keep your baby company, and a new little one who is about to be 11 months old and she loves animals !
“Ada was amazing!! This was my first time using the App and she made me feel so comfortable. She agreed to a meet and greet prior to my house sitting dates and my dogs loved her instantly. She was very communicative and kept me informed on everything. As this was my first time leaving my babies with anyone outside of family, we were all a bit nervous and hoping this was a good match. My mom even checked in with Ada and she was totally cool with. My mom and dog both have dogs and we are pretty certain Ada has 3 new clients. Ada maintained my home wonderfully. She really was patient with and understanding and I would recommend her 10/10, especially for new clients.”
“Stephanie is an incredible dog sitter! She was so loving and attentive to my dog, and really helped him with his anxiety. He got so much play and love and outdoor time. She is communicative and insightful and amazing with animals (and their pet parents 😊).”
“Kymberlee did a great job caring for Ralphie. We had some pleasant exchanges before the booking to nail down details. She sent pics and updates during her stay and left the house in good condition. Ralphie seemed happy upon our return and even looked for Kymberlee downstairs where she stayed on the day after she left! We would be grateful to have her sit for us again.”
“Amazing! Kai took such great care of my dog; gave him a ton of attention and took him out to meet his family which was very sweet. Rio seemed to have a blast with him, I will absolutely be using Kai again in the future. Thank you!”

Bryanna was great - very very kind and great with our two cats! She was able to help us a bit last minute and took all of our directions in stride. The cats really liked her and she took excellent care of them while we were away for almost a week. We needed drop in visits and I loved the photo updates she gave each time. She also was willing to look after our disabled gecko, so I highly recommend Bryanna if you also need someone to check in on your reptile!
Corraly did a FANTASTIC job caring for our sweet boy Prince and home while away for a week long vacation celebrating our 1st year marriage anniversary, and we could not have been more pleased with her services. This was our first time working with Corraly and she made a quick bond with Prince that clearly grew during the days they spent together. She texted daily updates and included lovely photos of their time spent together in our home and during long walks and was super responsive throughout her stay. We (including Prince) 100000% highly recommend Corraly and look forward to her future dogsitting stay 🤎 🖤
Meg was great with our pup while we were away for Thanksgiving week. She house sat for us, handled all care instructions to the T, and gave our pup lots of attention and play. It was great to come home to a happy pup and a clean, neat house, just as we left it. She was communicative and provided regular updates. We won’t hesitate to use Meg again!
Khemet was amazing with Asja. He is patient and understanding with pets. Asja has separation anxiety, but Khemet was able to relax her and make her comfortable. He sent several photos which brought comfort during my time away (my dogs comfort is everything to me when I am away). He also took very good care of my home. If you are looking for a reliable sitter who will care for your pet as if their own, I recommend Khemet.
Daniel continues to provide peace of mind that our dog Zoe and our home are in great hands, allowing us to actually relax on our vacation. Even with more challenging medication and dietary needs this go around, everything was handled with the same professionalism as always.

FAQs for House Sitting - Glenarden
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glenarden on Rover is $42.18 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 11,148 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glenarden. 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 Glenarden 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 Glenarden 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 Glenarden 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.
