“Brigette was incredible! She was punctual and communicative through and through. We felt such a sense of peace while away knowing that our beloved cat (and home) would be cared for in all the important ways. Whenever we travel again, can only hope that Brigette will be available:)”
“Sarah & David are so sweet and took great care of our 2 nervous dogs & house while we were gone. They were very communicative & sent great pictures. I would definitely book them again.”
“My dog Pod is usually pretty anxious if my husband and I leave him anytime other than our normal work times, but he seemed very comfortable with Michael right away. Michael sent us a picture and update part way through the stay, which was nice, and Pod was happy to see us when we got home but seemed clam and not anxious at all!”
“Chloe was amazing, I would refer her to anyone! I knew daily all the fun stuff my husky & her were up to, and when he decided to make himself gross on a walk, fixing him up didn't phase her. Took great care of the house, too. We <3 Chloe!”
“Sarah was great company for my dog Elsa who has separation anxiety. My regular sitter was unavailable and she came to the rescue when I wasn’t sure if I could find someone in time. Thank you!”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family, fostered animals, and provided attentive care for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable administering medications and following specific routines to ensure pets feel safe and well cared for. I’m also able to stay multiple days with pets when needed. I currently have a 15-year-old dog, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and experienced with senior pet care. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize comfort, consistency, and love. I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible with my location and spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for as long as I have internet access. My job isn’t overly demanding, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, walks or playtime, medication, and companionship. This flexibility allows me to easily stay multiple days with pets and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing consistency, comfort, and attention to their individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks or playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment by giving them plenty of companionship, monitoring their behavior and health, and adjusting care as needed. With my own senior dog, I’m especially attentive to signs of discomfort or changes in behavior, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every pet I look after.
“Hope like Jenny so much and she is a nice person she make sure that she will always besides my baby very attentive.she follows all the instruction s.thanx so much hope to see you again to take care of Hope.”
“Maddy did a drop in visit to walk my dog and feed the dog and cat their dinner, and she was fantastic. She showed up right on time, sent updates and pictures, and was overall reliable and communicative. I would 100% recommend her and rehire her in the future.”
“Ninon was just terrific! She took excellent care of our Maggie, and she sent pictures and provided brief updates which set our mind at ease. We will definitely ask her to dog-sit Maggie again.”
“Marina was wonderful! She did overnight dog sitting for 5 days with a little advanced notice. She sent us cute pics of my dogs daily and kept us updated. She left the house very clean too. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Traci was great with our 12 week old puppy. This was his first time being away from us and she made him feel right at home in his routine. She sent lots of photos and made us feel super at ease. Sokka had a great time with her- highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting for 3 years, and honestly, I just really love dogs! 🐶 I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, with most of my experience being with bigger dogs. I’ve looked after two Huskies at once, a Standard Poodle, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, and senior dogs. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso and was lucky enough to care for him myself during his senior years, so I understand how much extra patience, love, and attention older pups can need. I’m also very active and genuinely love going for walks. I average at least 10,000 steps a day, so if your dog loves a good walk, we’re probably going to be best friends! I’m very comfortable staying in other people’s homes and actually enjoy helping dogs stay in the environment they know and love. My goal is to keep your pup happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and, of course, lots of love! I work part time remotely with lots of flexibility and can bring my laptop anywhere. I don’t not have a partner or children so I can dedicated the proper time to looking after your pet! I will ensure that gates and doors are locked. The dog is on leash whenever we leave and to avoid other dogs and people if necessary. I will stick to your wishes on how you want your pet looked after.
“I think I’ve already left Nare a review, but it bears repeating. She’s great! She takes wonderful care of the critters and they love her to bits. Super communicative and I always rest easy knowing the kids are in very capable hands!”
About: I’ve had at least one dog my entire life and I always took and continue to take very good care of them. I have done independent pet care for about 5 years now and I absolutely love it! My friends and family also love to have me come watch their fur babies because they know I will look after them very well. I am really good at getting pets to trust me without getting in their space. I will shower your fur baby with as much affection as their heart desires! I have a pretty open schedule. The only thing that is taking up my time is working as a pet care provider, I can accommodate pretty easily. In a client’s home, I will always do my best to make sure the pet or pets are kept safe and more importantly feel safe and comfortable.
“From the moment we met Diane at our meet and greet we knew right away it would be a good fit. She has great calming energy which is so important when handling animals in my opinion. She is smart, and prompt with time, and asks the right questions. She took photos throughout and sent them along to let us know our dogs were in good hands. I would definitely book Diane again and hope you do too!”
“Fairuz was very sweet and caring with our Australian Shepherd. There were some small communication issues about when she would be there but it all got worked out and the weekend went well. Our pup was perfectly fine when we got back. Thank you, Fairuz!”
“Katherine did an amazing job caring for the pups. Making sure they were given a lot of attention love and care. She was able to administer the medication and the pups were super happy! We appreciate you Katherine and will definitely be booking again!”
“Hannah was so wonderful with my little scruffy (anxious) pup. He totally fell in love with her and was such a great and trustable guest in my home while I was out of town. Will absolutely book Hannah again.”
About: Dear Pet Owners, I would like to tell you a little about me. I have been raised with pets my entire life (dogs, cats, monkey's, rabbit's etc.) As a teenager, my first job was working at a pet store, and in my early 20's I worked as a veterinary assistant for 5 years. To my family, pets ARE part of the family, so it's no surprise that I am a pet sitter. Even when I was a child, I would always bring home stray's, which we would end up adopting. With me, your fur baby will get TONS of attention, cuddles, scratches and play time depending on their energy and personality. Your dog’s comfort and enjoyment is my #1 priority. My job is to make sure that you have peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, comfortable, well-cared for and loved. You can rest assured that your babies are in the care of a qualified professional. I currently work from home and my kids are now older and doing their own thing. I have a lot of free time and love meeting and spending time with new fur babies. I am 53 year old mother of 3. Non-smoker, no drugs. I’ll do things just the way you ask me to and, if I'm staying a while, will leave your place nice and welcoming when you get back.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Glendale is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glendale
I’m thrilled we found Ninon. This is the second time we’ve hired her to pet/housesit. This time we were gone for a week and I think our puppy thought he was on vacation as well. Ninon takes him on long walks, to coffee shops, to restaurants and treats him like hers. We’re thrilled his socialization continues while we are away and I trust her 100%.
Brigette is my new favorite sitter. She is communicative, flexible, and totally trustworthy. She stayed with my dog Franklin, giving him loads of attention and as much exercise as possible given that it was during a horrendous heat wave. In the week and change I was away I did not feel at all concerned that anything was amiss. Grateful that Brigette is close by and hopefully may be available for future sits!
This was my first Rover experience & Jennifer was excellent! My 89 lb Ridgeback was taken very good care of with her daily walks & feeding & pet sitting. The house was cleaner than when I left. Jennifer also gave me daily updates & pictures to ease my mind as this was my first time leaving my puppy. I will use her every time I leave town if she’s available. I can’t say enough good things about her. Oh she left me a birthday cupcake in my fridge!!!
Cara is great! My dog liked her immediately and was obviously having a blast in every single picture she sent. Lots of updates and pictures and I felt super safe and comfortable leaving my guy with her. Super responsive and easy to book with and sent a ton of pictures. Highly recommend :)
Geneveive was great with my dog Dolly! Dolly was having a flare up and having a tough time getting around, Genevieve was so helpful and supportive giving her extra care and medication. She left the apartment in great condition and with a happy pup! I would definitely hire her again for future dog sitting :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glendale is $73 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $133 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.
As of October 2026, there are 14,208 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
