“Morgan and Jeannette are so great. They took care of my little dachshund and became friends with him pretty quickly. He, sometimes, isn’t the most social of pups but he took right to them. They are some very special people and I will continue to use them anytime I need someone to check in on him or stay with him.”
“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 ❤️”
“Cassandra is simply amazing, she cared for our 3 dogs and one of them was sick; she took such great care of her and kept me posted on how she was doing until I was able to get home to get her to the vet! Casandra is extremely caring, treats your pets like her own and even did some reach in cause of our pups issues. I highly recommend her!”
“She did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies. They can be very energetic and want a lot of attention and we could tell they were well loved while we were gone. We will definitely be rebooking her for future needs.”
“I honestly never met Taylor before I hired him, yeah crazy I know but he had great reviews. He took great care of my little babies even though I have difficult dogs to work with. Would definitely trust him to take care of them in the future!!”
“Book Leslie for your next sitter! I was super nervous about traveling abroad to get married and leave our fur kids behind, but Leslie gave constant updates with pictures and put my husband and me at ease. Truly couldn’t be more thankful for her and can’t wait to happily rebook her in the future for our next adventure!”
“Adrian did a wonderful job house sitting for our two pups. It was our first time ever using a service like Rover, and he was a great representative! Communication was timely and caring. He is very personable and also jumped in immediately to help us when our first sitter had to cancel with a medical emergency even before we had our meet and greet with her. We highly recommend him and plan to use him for future needs.”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter. Kalin put us at ease right away with excellent communication, pictures and videos of our dogs throughout our trip. Our dogs were calm upon our return. Our house and yard were in order. I would highly recommend Kalin to care for your pets.”
“I was so happy with the care Kaela gave my three dogs while I was away. She administered eye drops to my one dog who is admittedly temperamental at times; she provided photos throughout her stay to ensure me that the dogs were alright; the backyard was picked up and water tubs were full; I believe she even cleaned my house! She is an absolutely trustworthy, respectful, and responsible individual. I will definitely call her to dog sit again!”
“Sue was amazing - responsive, friendly, and punctual. A caring, wonderful sitter who genuinely loves dogs. We are very happy we found Sue and we can’t wait to book with her again. Thank you, Sue.”
“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.”
“Roxie was absolutely amazing. She's a real "cat whisperer" who genuinely loves and understands animals. She sent me updates 3x daily and my little girl Mocha adored her and was so happy she was here. The house was kept in spotless condition and I felt a massive sense of relief knowing she was here and taking care of things. I will absolutely have her back again!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for years. I started pet sitting in high school and have continued through young adulthood, caring for around 50 dogs in my community. Families rely on me because I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s routine and personality. I make sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent grad, with a full time work schedule, I’m able to provide walks, playtime, check-ins, and extended stays to make sure your pet gets consistent attention and care. My home has a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time if boarding is needed. I do live with roommates, so I'm unable to offer boarding at my person home. When possible, I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable and secure. I focus on maintaining routines, minimizing stress, and creating a safe, calm environment.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Glendale is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glendale
Adrian did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Russell! I could tell right away that Russell was comfortable and happy with him. Adrian was dependable, caring, and attentive, and he kept me updated while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. I really appreciated knowing that Russell and my home were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Adrian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking Adrian again!
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.
Caring, thoughtful communicator. This was our first experience with Rover and we are learning that specific details are critical to written instructions shared with a Rover care provider. Learning this has been helpful and we appreciated Richelle’s patience and input during our vacation.
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!
Kayla H really saved us in a time of need! We had a different sitter booked who canceled on us the night before our trip. In a hassle to find a new sitter we found Kayla and she thankfully was able to do drop in visits on less than a days notice! I can't say enough about her service and how well she took care of our dog while we were gone. In a tumultuous time she took such great care of our dog and house that we were able to enjoy our trip with 0 stress. I highly recommend her and can assure you your dog will be in fantastic care.
Brittney took excellent care of our sweet (and shy) 12 year old pup Mila. She was extremely committed to keeping Mila's routine as consistent as possible, gave just the right amount of updates and photos and was very respectful of our home. Highly recommend her!

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.
<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 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!

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 .

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.
