“Morgan and Jeannette are fantastic. So reliable and so thoughtful. Always sending updates and pictures of your doggie! Do not hesitate to have them watch your fur baby.”
“Holly was AMAZING!! Gave me so many great updates and pictures of my fur babies while I was away. It’s never easy being away from my pets but my mind was at ease knowing they were in Holly’s care. My dog is blind and deaf and one of my kitties needed some medical care while I was gone - Holly handled it all with no problem. My pets were happy and healthy when I arrived back home ❤️”
“Taylor is amazing!! He took great care of my baby girl during our first two days apart ever! She was happy and had fun - Chris received all directives well and sent lots of pics. I’ll for sure have him back.”
“I couldn’t recommend Leslie enough! We had a tremendous amounts of photos and updates of our dog even 10 minutes after we left! When we got back it seemed like no one was around everything was spotless! 100% will be booking again”
“Roxie was awesome in providing care for my two furry kids. She took excellent care of them and my house was clean when I arrived home. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies just not when I need her!”
“Mackenzie is one of the best that I have had. She and my crazy, yappy schnauzer got along so well. She stayed at my house while I was out of town and my house looked as if I had never left. I will most definitely have Mackenzie back and wholeheartedly recommend her service.”
“First time hiring Nate and he was wonderful with my 2 Doberman Pinchers and kitty. My younger dog has a hard time with people she doesn’t know and within a few hours they were besties. He was great at communicating with us about the pets and things around the house. So glad he was available last minute to help us!!”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life, from senior dogs and puppies still learning the ropes to cats, goats, chickens, ducks, and more! I have a genuine love for animals of all kinds and treat every pet as if they were my own. When you get home, your furry friend will have plenty of happy stories, tail wags, and love to share about our time together! I’m currently an undergraduate student at GCU with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of time to shower your fur babies with the love, attention, and care they deserve! 🐾 I’m available all day on weekends and have plenty of availability throughout the week, with only 1–2 hours of class to work around. I love taking dogs on walks, runs, and hikes. I’m also just as happy to spend a cozy afternoon relaxing with your pets. If your fur baby is a snuggle bug, you can find me curled up with them and a good book, soaking up all the cuddles. Whether your pet is adventurous or a professional couch potato, I’m happy to match their energy and make them feel loved.
About: I have taken care of dogs for friends, family, and others for years. My experiences include large, energetic dogs, small dogs, nervous dogs, older, slowing-down dogs, and everything in between. I love engaging with your furry friends, and will make sure the house stays clean in the process! Whether it’s one-stop feedings or overnight stays, I thrive when I am taking care of others—and the same applies to your fur-babies. I’m a grad-student who works part time, so I have more than enough time to engage with your fur-babies! I am available for weekend pet sitting, stop-by feedings and playtime, or dog walks. While I don’t have a lot of time on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to classes, I am available for feedings seven days a week, and can take care of your babies day or night on any other day. Whether you’re at work, on vacation, or otherwise engaged, I am committed to making sure your fur babies stay happy and healthy, even when you’re miles away. I am incredibly organized and am dedicated to making sure your home stays clean while you’re away. When performing overnight pet sitting in clients homes, I always make sure to leave things better than I found them, so that you come home to a clean home and happy pets!
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up with both dogs and cats, and now have three very spoiled (and very loved) cats of my own. I’ve also worked as a kennel technician at a vet clinic, so I’m comfortable caring for animals with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I’m the kind of sitter who will treat your pet like they’re my own through lots of love, playtime, snuggles (if they’re into that!), and plenty of updates while you’re away. Whether your pet is shy, silly, high-energy, or just wants someone to hang out with, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. 🩷 I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I work remotely two days a week, making it easy to fit in lunchtime visits, walks, and check-ins. On my three in-office days, I’m available before and after work, and I have more flexibility on weekends. I know pets aren’t “just pets” they’re part of our families and an extension of the people who love them. I take that responsibility seriously and will always treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. Their safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I also know that, just like people, every pet has their own personality, preferences, routines, and quirks. I’m more than happy to accommodate whatever helps your pet feel happiest and most secure in their own home, whether that means sticking closely to their usual schedule, preparing meals a certain way, giving them extra playtime or cuddles, or simply respecting that they prefer a little space. My goal is to keep their world feeling as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and genuinely well cared for.
“Finn was an awesome sitter for a last minute work trip. Super communicative, attentive to the pets instructions, and took great care of them. Absolutely will contact him for future bookings.”
“Corissa was awesome with are very needed, active, border collie mix and cat. She sent time with them both and gave them extra belly rubs and loves. She left the house clean and tidy. I highly recommend her and we plan on using her again.”
“This is the 2nd time that we have had Charis watch our dogs. One of our dogs has really high anxiety. Charis was really great with him. She was patient and let him get used to her in his own time. He very quickly warmed up to her. She is really good about sending updates and pictures and responds quickly to messages. I will absolutely be using her again. She also left the house immaculate! Even changed the sheets, which was one less thing we had to worry about since we got home so late at night. Thank you, Charis!!”
About: Hi my name is Lexi! I grew up on a farm in Texas where I took care of all kinds of animals! Ive trained 1 service dog, 4 regular pups, 3 cattle dogs, and I've litter trained cats, house trained farm animals and more! I've nursed near death dogs and cats back to health, so I guess you could say im just a little bit obsessed with animals. I can run with doggos, walk with them, etc! I am good to house sit, walk and check in on your pup, but I cannot board. I am always reachable, on time, and ill never leave you or your pup hanging. I have my whole life's experience under my belt! Your pup will be in great hands! Looking forward to meeting you! I'm a part time college student, I have classes on tuesdays and thursdays, and random times throughout the week. But I have plenty of time for your pups! I dont offer boarding :( Your pets are my #1 priority! I'm gonna make sure I play with them, take them out, spend time with them. They wont be abandoned or forgotten about.
“Janine was fantastic with our pets. She followed all of the instructions that I left perfectly and left my home in perfect order. She also updated me regularly and sent lots of pictures. It’s hard for me to feel at ease when traveling but Janine was reliable and communicative and made it much easier. We absolutely will be booking her again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Glendale is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glendale
Richelle was absolutely amazing during her overnight stay with Nugget, Cookie, and Boo! Leaving three dogs can be stressful, but knowing she was there made it completely worry-free. She was incredibly mindful of the local wildlife and took extra care to keep them safe from coyotes when going outside. She kept me updated the whole time, and the dogs were so relaxed and happy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, sweet, and genuinely protective pet sitter!
We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such amazing care of our boys while we were away and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in good hands. It’s always hard leaving them behind, but she made the whole experience so easy and gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and loves what she does, which means so much to us! We’re so thankful we found her and will definitely be reaching out to her again anytime we need someone to watch our boys. Couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️
Myla is a wonderful sitter. She gave me great updates and took really good care of my puppy (12 weeks old). I was very apprehensive about leaving such a young puppy with anybody, but Myla immediately put my mind at ease and make sure that I was aware of her keeping up with my puppy schedule. She also took really good care of my other dog and make sure that he was not overlooked in the process. I will definitely be using her again in the future.
Holly did an amazing job taking care of my pets. She did a wonderful job at following my pets routine and keeping me updated. All of my fur babies looked happy and healthy when I got home. Also appreciated all the photos she sent me of my pets. Would definitely rebook with her again.
Richie was awesome. My girls seemed more energetic coming home than when I left on my trip, so they were clearly having fun. And all I heard from him was how amazing they were being, so just as glad to hear they were on their best behavior. Usually, I have my pups boarded, and this was the first time I opted for keeping them in their home environment and using house sitting, which made me nervous. My house looked exactly as I left it, so clearly a very respectful sitter. Richie was also quick and responsive when I reached out. That definitely puts me plenty at ease for anything in the future Absolutely would use Richie again. Thank you so much for making this a comfortable experience for all of us.
Lyric was absolutely wonderful! Great with communication, was punctual, experienced in handling our breed, sent lots of pictures, had no issues with doing the extra steps we do with feeding them and was overall an absolute pleasure to work with. I could see from the pictures that our dogs were happy and being cared for like we do. I highly recommend Lyric and can't wait to book with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glendale is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $83 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Glendale 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 Glendale 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 Glendale 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
