“Had a great experience with Gabriela staying the night at our place both my dog and my cat! Came home and everything was clean, and the pets were clearly well taken care of and happy :)”
“Mckayla was so kind to our miniature dachshunds for a 2 day house stay. She paid great attention to detail, even asking how to properly hold them. She left the house in perfect condition. Thank you!!”
“Stella and Josh were amazing dog sitters! The dogs loved them and they sent so many cute pictures of their time together. They were reliable and dependable and very good communicators with any questions. We would hire them again, hands down!”
“Katie was kind, professional and so patient with our menagerie of dogs. We have one girl who is anxious and barks relentlessly at new people but Katie spent time with her before our trip and worked with her at her own pace and she became Luna's bestie. Katie put her right at ease. Katie also sent a plethora of photos and updates everyday to ease our minds while we were away, looked after our house, mail, garden and walked our dogs twice a day. I would give 10 stars if I could because she's THAT good!”
About: Hello all, I'm taking a hiatus from the PT and have been a professional dog boarder for 10 years. I work remotely so your dog will get a lot of attention, affection , organic whole food treats (green minerals, tuna, healthy snacks) daily walks, a lot of play time in a huge fenced backyard. In the summer, they have complete access throughout the day. I take them to the River:bike path .5 miles away, the school and walks around the neighborhood. And with consent, to Zumwalt dog park out in Veneta. I rarely take more than 3 dogs at one time. 2 dog beds, couch, occasional in bed (for those needy fur babies. As a former PTA, I give attention to dog’s body mechanics and often massage spinal muscles. Background in dog nutrition with healthy treats and suggestions. Will educate clients on how to maximize their dogs health. What I require from dogs are: zero aggression (food, toy, etc.). Please bring : dog bags, food dishes, leashes, all medication . I do have a few spare beds . I work from home part time. So, the dogs I board will get most of my attention throughout the day. I don’t want to run errands and never gone for morw thaj 4 hrs at a time. I offer bully sticks, grain free treats, toys, deer antlers, etc. I leave the back door open for all day access (in the summer), and in the winter, I take them out back at least 5 times a day. There is a kiddy pool, balls, frisbees, etc.
“Amazing!! Jasmine house sat for us and took such great care of our dogs & home! She went above and beyond taking our dogs for hikes! Will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we are away.”
“Paula was so great with our pup. From the minute we met her, we knew she would be a great fit. She was polite, responsive, and sent great photos and videos of our dog while we were away. She was respectful of our home and flexible when our plans changed slightly. Highly recommend. We’ve already booked her for second weekend!”
“Kelly is fantastic, very professional and a great communicator! I could tell she really enjoys spending time with animals and learning all their little quirks :) She's also tidy and treats your home well. Thanks!”
“Amy was wonderful with our 3 doggies. She was very communicative, timely, and patient especially with our socially awkward and hyper crew. Our babies were happy and smiling when we returned.”
About: I have owned dogs since my childhood. In my adult life I have owned a few dogs and know how to train and care for dogs. I am self-employed and have been in business since 1999. I have a flexible schedule. My availability can be arrange to accommodate the needs of your pet/pets. My motto is to care for your pet(s) as I would my own. I prefer that pet parents let me know what their pets routines are and I will adhere to those wishes and more.
About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.
About: I've taken care of pets basically my whole life, especially cats, and I've also had a dog for a couple years. I'm always the first person my friends and family call when they need help with their pets. I stay well read on what's good for animals, from training to helping with anxiety, and I'm always willing to go the extra mile to make sure a pet is happy. They're living creatures who deserve just as much happiness as we do. In terms of training, I've helped a cat retrain to use the litter box after it regressed due to anxiety, working through the root cause rather than just the behavior itself. I've also reduced aggression in animals through consistent training. I'm willing to stick with things for a long time and stay consistent, especially when it's for the betterment of the animal. My life is quite flexible, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I prefer jobs where I'm able to stay in charge of how the work gets done, since that's when I feel like I can give my best contribution. That flexibility means I can adjust to a pet's needs rather than squeezing them into a rigid schedule. When I'm caring for a pet in their own environment, I make sure to respect their space and routine completely, from where they're allowed to go to how they're used to being handled. I pay close attention to safety details like doors, gates, and anything that could be harmful to them, and I adapt to whatever setup the home already has in place.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 904 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glenbrook. 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 Glenbrook 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 Glenbrook 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Glenbrook 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
