“The night before I had to leave one of our dogs got sick and Sarah did an amazing job taking care of him and our house! We would absolutely use Sarah again, highly recommend!!”
“Neha did such a wonderful job. She gave me frequent updates and sent lots of pictures, so I could see how things were going. She followed all my requests and was super attentive to the pups. Best of all, my dogs took to her right away and seemed to really enjoy her company. I highly recommend Neha. I know we will be using her again.”
“Rachael is the best! She has a natural understanding of dogs, and makes us feel totally comfortable going away for the weekend. One of our dogs is a rescue from the shelter with a bit of anxiety he still deals with, and Rachael knew just how to take care of him! Great house guest too.”
“Ninon is our go-to sitter at our new home in LA — she has really helped Olive (and us!) adjust to the move by being attentive and loving for our old lady. We really appreciate that she seems to get Olive as much as we do.”
“Dominque was wonderful with our 2 dogs. One was a fairly new rescue, still getting comfortable and she was patient and knew how to earn her trust. This was an unplanned trip, and connecting with Dominique was a gift.”
“We were so happy with how well Tracy did with our two cats. Our boy kitty, who has always been exceptionally shy around guests and especially sitters, warmed up to cuddle with her very quickly. Tracy was very respectful of our space too, which has an overwhelming amount of specialized gear. We returned home to very happy, comfortable cats, who wanted to cuddle immediately, something which never has happened with sitters that we've had before. Tracy also gave very detailed updates about the goings on of both our cats as well. Highly recommended and if we are lucky, we will definitely book with her again.”
About: I love all animals and I have experience in lots of different animal care, including aquatics and exotics. I myself have two cats and a dog, and I have helped out folks with many different species, including husbandry. I’m so excited to meet your pet! Every morning my cat kids wake me up around 5:30/6am. The cats and I eat our breakfast together, Babygirl gets her meds, and then just spend the rest of the morning lounging and relaxing. When the senior dog wakes up, he gets his meds and breakfast and then it’s walk time!! Lunch time the cats each get a little churu treaty, and they spend some time playing before afternoon naps. They basically bounce back and forth from silly time to deep sleep for the rest of the day, then it’s dinner time, walkys for Kenji the dog and more playtime, then bed. Pets aren’t “spoiled,” they are cherished. Taking care of beautiful creatures that love us and make us their whole world is a gift. They deserve kindness, compassion, and respect. I love all animals as an extension of the love I hold for my own, and I can’t wait to meet yours and give them love and care.
“Madeline was a wonderful sitter. She kept in contact with us daily and sent pics. She was great with Basil. She is going to sit for us again in a few weeks. I'm incredibly happy to have her looking after Basil.”
“Rebekah was so great! My cat got sick while I was away, and Rebekah was very responsible, communicative, proactive, and generous regarding cleanup and monitoring my cat. I highly recommend.”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 20 years, and it's something I truly love. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with the same attention and compassion I'd give my own. I offer personalized care, a limited number of clients, consistent updates with photos and videos, a clean safe environment, reliability, punctuality, flexible scheduling, medication administration, and have extensive experience caring for senior pets and those who are anxious or have special needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I adore animals of all kinds and would be honored to care for your furry family member! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Starting with having a few dogs as pets growing up, I learned to care for them and train them. I then started working with dogs at a grooming salon. I was working as a bather for about 3 years before I acquired a position as a dog handler in a boarding facility where I learned how to do Obedience Training and I never let go of that specific field. I continue to work in Dog handling and provide care in several aspects of a dog’s health. I am able to provide baths, trim nails, administer Medications, reinforce Good behavior through consistent training and mental stimulation. I love working with dogs and serving those who love dogs as well! I work in a Dog boarding facility very close to my home, and therefore have a lot of hands on experience caring for pups. While dogs are in my care, I am able to offer services like nail trimming and ear cleaning at the moment. I am hoping to add bathing services very soon. I typically take a lot of walks in my free time and would be happy to take your pup along with me. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always a priority. While I do work close to home. My wife is also home a lot, so you can be sure that your pup is never left alone. My home features a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time under supervision. Inside, the home is equipped with both air conditioning and heating, ensuring your pup stays comfortable year-round, whether it’s a hot summer day or a chilly evening. I strive to provide a clean, safe, and relaxing environment where every dog feels right at home.
“Bethany is a great sitter. She was great about communicating how our dog was doing and sent adorable photos of our boy! She is a real animal lover, communicates clearly and is respectful of your home, a perfect set of traits for someone who is staying in your home and caring for a treasured family member!”
“Thank you so much again, Lauren, for being such a great pal to Barbara! I appreciate as always the considerate treatment of my home as well as the monitoring of my dog’s behavior and conditions. Especially appreciate the willingness to take this one with less lead up time than normal. We appreciate you! 💜”
“Jennifer was very professional--on time, super clean, very personable to us and sweet to our pup. She really make sure everything is done well and finished. I would highly recommend her, and of course, book her the next time we vacation! Our labradoodle really liked her, too!”
“Christopher and his wife were absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Tofu and Turbo, during their nearly three-week stay. They went above and beyond, even caring for our dogs during the challenging LA fires, ensuring they were safe and well taken care of. We were so impressed by their attentiveness, kindness, and the love they showed our pups. It gave us great peace of mind to know Tofu and Turbo were in such capable hands. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glendale
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:)
Amanda house-sat and took care of Cricket while we were away on a long trip. Her daily photos and updates helped us feel secure and never worried. Cricket seemed to have a great time, and our apartment was cleaner when we got back than it had been when we left! Thanks Amanda :)
Ninon is our first rover choice. She is reliable, dependable, and wonderful with our dog. Would definitely rebook her and I would suggest you do too! She jumped in for us last minute when another rover person we booked with backed out with short notice. Our dog also has special needs and Ninon handled her beautifully! While she is more expensive than some others, you are paying for peace of mind with your animal while you’re away. I really don’t think I could have said the same with the other provider we had initially booked at a lower cost. So ultimately, that decision and Ninon are absolutely worth it.
Dominique was absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of our two senior dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent us daily updates with pictures and videos, so we always knew they were happy and well cared for. She also left our house spotless, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book Dominique again. Highly recommend!
We are so thrilled that we found Jennifer to stay at our home with our two dogs. She is caring, thoughtful, respectful and most importantly - LOVED our dogs. She was a great communicator for all things related to the dogs and our house. She left our home so incredibly clean. It made it really easy to come back from vacation knowing that our dogs and our home were in her good hands. Will definitely call her again!
Liana took good care of my dog and cat. She was really proactive with communication and would respond anytime I reached out. She sent really cute pictures that clearly showcased their personalities so I could tell they were comfortable. My house was in perfect shape when I got home.
Zixuan took such good care of Freddie and Marcel while she was sitting at our place! She’s been walking Freddie for a while, and we were really glad we had someone our pets trusted to care for them while we were out of town. We got pictures and updates every day, and they got lots of attention and playing in :)
Clare is and has always been special. We are repeat clients of hers and have come to expect her excellent communication, attention to detail, and love for our pets. Our most recent trip took our love and appreciation for Clare to another level. Two out of our three pets were sick, one had to go to the emergency vet, and there were some complicated care instructions. Clare showed us and our boys such compassion, diving right in to take care of every last thing and then some. I can’t really put into words what it meant to us, so I’ll just say that Clare is incredible, I trust her implicitly, and your pets would be lucky to get time under her care.
Alexandra is awesome! While she was house sitting, one of our dogs got skunked and the other had to be taken to the vet for a vaccine, and she handled both situations like a pro. She sent lots of pics & updates and was always quick to respond (which is important to me because I’m a worrier when I’m away) and the house was perfectly tidy when we got back. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glendale on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 14,172 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glendale. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
