“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!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I'm well versed in giving pets medication on schedule and giving them the attention they need. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs and love every stage in between. I currently stay at home and take care of our family pets (3 dogs and 1 cat). I enjoy taking care of all their needs and looking to broaden my cares to other fur babies. I can easily follow all directions from the pet parents. My priorities are being there for your babies, but also assuring you that they're in safe hands.
“Patrick was extremely professional. Kind and Sadie loved him. He sent us pictures. His communication is wonderful and we can't wait to use him again in November if not sooner. Thank you so much! Lisa and Jack”
“David was absolutely wonderful with my 10-year-old Kato. My dog can be aggressive when he first meets new people, and David was so patient and understanding that I had no worries about leaving him with my pup. He was also super understanding when my flight home got canceled, and I had to stay an extra night - we had great communication, and I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter. As a bonus, my apartment was very clean and in order when I returned home. I'll be using David to watch my pup again!”
“Taylor did an amazing job caring for our dogs and our home while we were on vacation. He communicated with us frequently to let us know how things were going and also to send pictures. Taylor is our preferred house sitter and has been a huge blessing for our family!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for years. Ive grown up around animals my whole life, my moms a dog groomer and my dad is a vet tech. I've been dog sitting for over a year and also have a fur baby of my own! I live in a 2 bed townhouse with a little yard for the pups and my second room is just for the animlas I sit! I have cat trees and extra kennels and any other essentials your baby needs! I do work part time currently. I have no problem going to your home to check up on your pets anytime of the day just reach out to me and we can figure out a schedule! I do live in a 2 story townhouse but I have a baby gate at the top of the stairs so no one slips LOL! My front yard is fully fenced with a 6 foot gate and locks as well so no one is slipping out!
“Syndi did a great job! She showed up on time and stayed over a long weekend with our dogs and cats. The animals really seemed to bond with her and everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend her!”
“This was our first experience with Rover.com and Daela. I was feeling anxious and really appreciated the initial visits for reassurance. Daela was very comfortable and so willing listen to and apply my "list". We have a puppy and 2 cats. I appreciated the pics and communication while we were away. We arrived home to happy pets, well cared for, and a tidy house. We will definitely be calling her again. Thank you. ???”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glendale
It was our first time using Carmine. She was so good about updating us every day and night with how the day was and sending photos. She’s a very sweet, polite and calm young lady. I felt like our Charlie was in good hands. It’s always hard to leave your fur baby but I felt good about Carmine. I will definitely use her again
Adrian was an excellent pet sitter, and I would gladly give him five stars. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about ensuring our dog was well cared for. We appreciated the regular updates and the attention he gave to every detail, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Adrian and would love for him to pet sit for us again!
Richelle was a great communicator and took wonderful care of Payson during the 4th of July weekend. She sent so many updates and asked questions to make sure he felt at home. She also helped tidy our home which we’d weren’t expecting and which was such a weight lifted when we got back!
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.
I was in a pinch, needing to book a sitter for my dogs due to a short notice trip out of state. Delaney was available and willing to help! She was very patient with my dogs and kept me up to date with the dogs on a regular basis as well as asked questions regarding the dogs when certain matters had risen (all of which I appreciate).
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!
Roxy did a wonderful job. She arrived at her meet and greet very professional and was very thorough with gathering info on how to care for our critters. While we were gone she send pictures several times a day and left the house very clean when she left. We will definitely be using her again!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Glendale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glendale on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,742 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glendale. 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 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 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.

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.
