“Adrian was great with my 12 year old girl. Many pics and good amount of communication. He left the house in perfect condition, I could barely tell he was even there. Will use his services when needed again.”
“Mya is the absolute best!! Would highly recommend her. Our girl was well taken care of, and she went over and above to make sure she was happy and comfortable. So happy we found Mya!”
“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!”
“AMAZING!! They took such great care of our 2 dogs. They were great with communication and left the house in great condition. They sent me several pictures of our babies while we were away which I personally loved!! We will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“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.”
“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 ❤️”
“Roxie is the absolute best! Mocha loves her to pieces and I feel so comfortable knowing that she's taking great care of the house and my baby. Left the house immaculate, brought packages in for me and reported mishaps promptly. Mocha and I appreciate you!”
“After reading the feedback from others, we contacted Taylor about staying with our pup. Taylor was quick to reply and scheduled a meet and greet. We were able to enjoy time away with family without worrying if someone would take care of our dog the way we do. Taylor communicated often with pictures . Our dog and our home were well looked after. We will look forward to him staying with our dog again!! Highly recommend.”
“Leslie was so great with my two pups while I was out of town for the weekend! She gave them a lot of attention and provided me with plenty of updates/photos to make me feel at ease. They had such a great time with her, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I grew up with animals in my home my whole life ranging from cats, big and little doggies. I studied at Fairfield technical high school for animal management. There I got certified to handle animals, groom, and pet CPR. I have volunteered and shadowed at vet clinics administering vaccines and waking pets up from surgery. I have pet sat for friends and family since I was a teenager. I am skilled in puppies and senior animals with disabilities. I am currently in my last semester of college for my bachelors online. My schedule is completely open all day everyday for pet care in the area. I currently own one kitty that is desensitized to other animals. I do live in an apartment that can accommodate certain animals. There is not a fenced area but there is grass.
About: I've always had a natural connection with animals, and they seem to know pretty quickly that I'm an animal person. Even pets who are a little shy or unsure often warm up to me quickly—and honestly, earning an animal's trust is one of my favorite things. I've shared my life with dogs, cats, horses, goats and chickens and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs. I'm comfortable with positive-reinforcement training and reading body-language cues that can tell you when an animal is happy, anxious, uncomfortable or just needs a little space. My own animals have established care at home, so when I'm house sitting, your pets and their routine have my full attention. I work primarily remotely and make my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with them. And you're trusting me with more than your pets—you're trusting me with your home. As a licensed real estate professional for nearly a decade, I'm accustomed to that responsibility. I'm familiar with basic household systems and emergency shutoffs and know how to calmly handle the unexpected. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without worrying about what's happening back home. Your pets get lots of love, their familiar routine, and someone who will genuinely enjoy spending time with them—and you get peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Since most of my work is done remotely and I make my own schedule I'm available most days for drop ins, as may be needed. I have been trusted with homes and pets alike. I follow detailed instructions, keep routines consistent, and treat every animal with love, safety, and respect.
“We recommend Richelle, she stayed over at our house for a week to watch our dog, Barley. She kept us updated with photos/videos of her and Barley playing. She was respectful of our house, it was tidy when we got back. My husband was “big” on setting alarm system and she did that as well.”
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
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.
Adrian was a wonderful house/dog sitter! He took excellent care of our doggies, they loved him. I was a little worried about them eating, and Adrian made sure to send me photos of them at mealtime. I got lots of great updates. Adrian went above and beyond what I asked him to do. I would not hesitate to have him take care of my babies again!
Corissa was amazing from the time we did our meet and greet, she was open to stopping by one day by herself with Gemma before we left to make sure that dynamic was still a fit, and then quickly approached our trip and everything went perfect! Gemma girl loved Corissa, she was very kind and communicative the entire trip and we will definitely be using her as our regular house/pet sitter!! Thank you for being so awesome Carissa. We are happy to have met you and look forward to more memories together!
David did such an amazing job with my animals. I have a ranch with 5 dogs, 2 cats, a Tortise, an axolotl, 2 donkeys and 5 horses so not just anyone can housesit for us. It's hard to find someone we can trust and David exceeded our expectations. My animals loved him, he kept us updated, asked great questions and was there exactly when he said he would be. He even cleaned up! I highly recommend David!
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
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!

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.
