“Mars did a great job house and cat sitting for us. She is very reliable and her communication is excellent. She is quick to respond to texts and updated us every day. We will definitely be using her again! Highly recommend!”

“Lindsey was wonderful with our 2 cats. They are both naturally friendly and a bit demanding when it is feeding time. Lindsey was able to allow them time to play outside and keep them company every night. She has been a great sitter!”

“Taylor was good! Our boys seemed happy and well cared for. I had booked a house sitting but she was not able to be there overnight for more than 1 of the 3 nights. I wish this had been communicated a little better. She did stay for more time during the day, but I was looking for the overnight time period.”

“Vanessa does amazing with my high energy, anxious husky! He’s a lot to handle but she makes it look easy. She house sat for a week and when I came home he was the least anxious I’ve ever seen. Vanessa is dependable, kind and a hard worker. Highly recommend!”

“Very responsive and great with my dogs. Both of my girls are very skittish and she won them over quick! She kept my home neat, made sure the girls were taken care of, and sent me amazing photos🫶🏽10/10”

“Rachel was very responsive in all communication and accommodating to all of my cat's needs and quirks! My cat is a scaredy cat and didn't come out much but Rachel still kept me updated on how everything was going. I'm really happy I found Rachel and will continue to use her services in the future!”

About: I have been pet and house sitting for friends and family since I was 16 years old. I love animals (sometimes more than people). I can take care of all different types of needs that your beloved pet might have. Long walks, baths, morning and night time routines, special diets, etc. I have even taken care of a dog with diabetes before. I do not have much experience with other animals but I am a quick learner. I would love to take care of any pet you may have. I am a full time student at Oklahoma State University and I have a part time job that I work as well. I wouldn’t be gone from my house or yours any longer than the hours that would consist in a normal work or school day. I’m not normally gone that long but that is the longest I would be gone in a day. I have a pretty open schedule for the most part because a few of my classes are online. I don’t have any pets at home anymore. Sadly my childhood dogs passed away this summer and while I am not ready to get my own dog yet I still love taking care of animals! I kept a lot of their old things so I have plenty of toys, dog beds, and blankets that your animal would be welcome to use. I also have a dog door and fenced backyard that is available for use as well. The dog door can be shut or left open depending on what works best for your animal.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive animal lover and a certified veterinary technician who treats every pet like they’re my own. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can feel stressful, so my goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for every step of the way. My veterinary training gives me experience recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, administering medications, and caring for pets with special medical needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a senior companion, or requires extra attention, you can feel confident knowing they’re in knowledgeable and capable hands. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m committed to making their time with me enjoyable and stress-free. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away. My priority is creating a safe, positive experience for every pet and providing the same level of care, patience, and affection they receive at home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am currently focusing on school so your animal will be my top priority and I will be fully available for all of their needs! I will make sure the animal is in safely, properly taken care of for all the required needs and wants, Always lock the door on my way out!
“Sierra was amazing while watching Okie! She responded promptly, carefully followed Okie’s transition to adult food while keeping an eye on her symptoms, and took her on plenty of walks. She was very respectful of our home and communicated multiple times a day, sending lots of photos, which we really appreciated. She even offered to take Okie to her grooming appointment when it got rescheduled while we were away, which meant so much to us. It truly felt like she cared for Okie as if she were her own. She saved us from having to fly with our 10-month-old puppy, we couldn’t be more grateful!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life !! I currently have two dogs of my own as well. I do some dog training. Sit, stay, lay, shake, crate training, and potty training. I work full time however I get two breaks and only work Monday-Thursday. I work from 8-5 and take a break at 1130 and 2:30. I live in a house and have a closed in fence. I take my dogs for a walk or run every day and will play fetch or tug of war with them in the yard. The dogs get lots of outside time and my girls love having new friends to play with! A kennel is not required but I do ask if you have one to bring it. Since we have our own dogs and also board more than one dog we put them up in the kennel when going to sleep at night.
About: I've had a dog for as long as I can remember. Love them. I have watched many of my friends dogs as well. One of my best friends fosters many dogs and they are great trainers and I have learned a lot from them as well with training. My schedule is flexible so as long as I have a schedule ahead of time I can plan on helping on the weekday or weekends. I am loyal and on time so you can trust me with your babies. I will give lots of hugs and kisses and can get them out to play as well.
About: I have my own dog and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure your pet is safe and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to check in, do walks, and spend quality time with pets throughout the day, evening and overnight! I care for pets based on what they’re used to. I follow their routine, make sure they’re fed, exercised, and comfortable, and give them attention based on their personality. I treat them like my own and keep you updated.
About: From fur to feathers to scales, I have years of hands on animal care experience through personal pet care and professional wildlife hospital and zoo work. I’m currently a wildlife biology graduate student at OSU, and my background has made me very comfortable observing animal behavior, following detailed care routines, and noticing small changes in an animal’s comfort or health. What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable caring for active dogs, shy pets, and animals that need a calm, consistent routine. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or enrichment instructions and will always keep owners updated while they’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because my schedule as a graduate student is flexible and varies by day. I’m often able to offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on my class, lab, and fieldwork schedule. I’m happy to coordinate with owners ahead of time to make sure their pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m especially available for drop in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’m comfortable building pet care around feeding schedules, medication times, walks, playtime, and regular check ins. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I always want pets and owners to feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication, walking preferences, crate use, litter box care, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure, and I always double check that pets are safe before I leave. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially with shy, nervous, or high energy animals. I’m patient and will never force interaction if a pet needs space. I’m also happy to send regular updates, photos, and notes so owners know how their pet is doing while they’re away. For walks and drop ins, I prioritize safe handling, secure leashing, and following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.

About: I bring a calm, reliable, and responsible approach to pet care. I focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and check-ins, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m also attentive and patient with senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra care, or more frequent check-ins. What sets me apart is my reliability and attention to detail, I treat every pet like they’re part of a routine, not a task. Owners can expect clear communication, dependability, and a respectful approach to both their home and their pet’s well-being. I work a full-time job from 8–5, but I’m available for pet care outside of those hours. I can do early morning visits, evening care, and overnight stays depending on the pet’s needs and schedule. I also have full availability on weekends. I’m organized with my time and make sure pet care visits are consistent, unhurried, and reliable. When I commit to a booking, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet gets proper attention and care. I provide pet care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and any specific care preferences. I focus on creating a calm, reliable, and attentive visit each time, making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I adjust my approach based on each pet’s personality, whether they are energetic, shy, social, or more independent. I also prioritize clear communication and provide updates so owners feel confident and informed. I make sure the home is secure after each visit and treat each client’s space with respect.
About: I have worked with pets of all types for over a decade. I’ve walked, bathed, and trained dogs for people all across the board. I’ve worked with animals with different needs, ages, and personalities and loved them all! I am really good with senior animals and have lots of experience in that area! I’m currently a full time student with a very flexible schedule! I’m free to hang out with your pets weekends, and weekdays after 4. I have a later start in the mornings so I’m free for early walks or whatever you need! I am very clean and organized and will leave your home the same or better than I found it! I am also very adaptable and can work in any space with any pet!

About: Animals are the biggest source of joy in my life. I have been caring for animals since I was a child, beginning with large animals on my family's ranch. As soon as I entered high school I began volunteering at local clinics and shelters. I have been a professional in the veterinary medicine industry since I was 17. I have been a veterinary technician for years and have an all encompassing experience history, including cats, dogs of all sizes, small animals (rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc), reptiles, cattle, horses, seniors, babies, and special needs pets. Animals have always been and will always will be one of my greatest loves and passions in life. I would love to get to know yours and provide them with exceptional love and care when you need it. My pricing as listed in my profile is based on my extensive professional experience as well as the fact that I am able to provide constant care if requested and can usually cater to any schedule. Your pets health and happiness are my biggest concern and I will do everything I can to make sure they are cared for to the fullest extent. That being said, I am always willing to try to work with my clients based on their needs and resources, so don’t hesitate to reach out! I am skilled and experienced with any and all pet needs. I am trained in fear-free training techniques and industry standard safety protocols. I can work with crate training animals, keeping pets and their routines separate if need be, and I am fully capable of handling most medical needs your pet may have.

FAQs for House Sitting - Glencoe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 103 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glencoe. 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 Glencoe 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 Glencoe 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 Glencoe 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
