“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Jennifer just watched our two dogs while we were on a trip to see family for a funeral. Two days before we left our elderly dog had to have an emergency procedure to her eyes. I was so stressed about leaving, but Jennifer reassured me she would administer all medication and watch over our dog with extra care and extra updates and that everything would be fine while we were away. We couldn't be happier with what an amazing caretaker she is for our pets! I had no doubt they would be in good hands.”
“Bethanie did a fantastic job with our two babies! We have never used this site or any sitter other than our roommate, so naturally we were slightly anxious. Let me just say, Bethanie was so good at sending pictures and staying in contact with us. Our nerves were instantly calmed -- we know our dogs were in good hands. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!! Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Rachael is amazing and took great care of our cat, dog and house. We would recommend her without hesitation. She is reliable and provides plenty of updates so you know that your fur babies are receiving great care and having a great time while you’re away. Thank you Rachael!”
“Dominique was amazing with my anxious old man. He usually takes time to warm up to new sitters but it seems like he felt comfortable right away. I got lots of picture and video updates and came home to a clean house and happy dog!”
“Madeline has stayed with Harley multiple times now, and she’s been incredibly attentive to his needs, communicative about how he’s doing, and flexible. She’s an awesome sitter that I’m glad Harley and I can rely on!”
“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.”
“Brooke has now watched our three dogs twice and she’s the best! So communicative, kind, sends great pictures, answers any texts I send very fast, and the dogs love her! They’re happy when we come back and I can tell they’ve been taken care of well. Thank you Brooke again!”
About: Full disclosure, candor, your vocabulary word of choice. Hello, I’m André. I’m a 30y/o Los Angeles pet dad, looking for a nice side gig as well as a way to Connect & edify myself with pet-care & social skills going to forward. Primarily with the animals, yet as well built communicative skills with individuals. -Cheers, André. ✌🏽 Currently I am self-employed. Be that as it may, I have quite the open/flexible schedule. Adherence to any fitted schedule isn’t necessary. Unless communicated prior, scheduling shouldn’t ever be an issue of concern. I’ve been surrounded by, and lived with and have familial pets all throughout my life, but I’ve only recently become a pet father myself as of eight months ago. Actions I take in my home to cater to, and care for my pets include the following: -Thorough research on how to continue to better myself as a parent towards my pets. -Patience becoming more and more a virtue 😅 ha. -Repetition -Understanding Acts of discipline, or constructive experiences to better the bond between myself and my pets, are dismal. Redirection, and communication with the pets consistently build the bond. Consistent, and I mean consistent playtime, proper feeding schedule, toys…I’ve built quite the furniture shop for my cats. Lastly just love them, damn. 😁
“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!”
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.
“Lilit was wonderful. She was available at the last minute to housesit our dog, Molly. She easily befriended Molly, and made us all comfortable with her kindness and care. Molly had a great time, and we would highly recommend Lilit.”
“Nare was so kind and loved our pets for a few nights. She communicated with us everyday and sent photos of the happy animals. Would absolutely recommend! Our dog and cat gravitated to her as soon as they met”
“Ninon was so wonderful with our elderly, somewhat standoff-ish dog. She respected his space but made him feel very comfortable and we couldn't have asked for better care. Thank you Ninon!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glendale
It’s very clear that Heather loves animals, which I think is the most important quality in a sitter. She took great care of my dog and cat, and understood their quirks. She kept my plants alive, which isn’t easy in LA in the Summer. Heather understood and followed the (fairly complex) instructions I left about all my pets’ medication and preferences. She was responsive to my messages while I was out of town. When I returned home, my house was just as tidy as I left it, and Heather also gave me a helpful handoff message about the pets and laundry.
This was our first time leaving our 16 week old puppy Biggie and Ninon did an excellent job of taking care of him while we were away for the weekend. She’s very communicative and sent lots of texts and pics. She’s took Biggie on local adventures which we appreciated as we want to socialize him as much as possible. We have already rebooked her for an upcoming vacation.
Dee was truly amazing! I swear he might actually be a dog whisperer. My dog Blossom absolutely loved him and was so happy and comfortable with him. He was incredibly communicative while I was away, and I felt completely comfortable and assured the entire time knowing my dog and my home were in such good hands. He sent thoughtful updates, was attentive to everything, and clearly cared about making sure Blossom was happy and well taken care of. He also took incredible care of my home and left it even better than he found it. It’s rare to find someone you feel this comfortable trusting with both your pet and your home. I would have him back in a heartbeat and highly recommend you reach out to him!
Absolutely phenomenal! I'd give her 6 stars, for real. 1 year ago I went out of town and when I got back a whole slew of major health problems hit both my cats hard (not the fault of the pet sitter at the time). I was terrified of going on vacation again; I had PTSD. For over a year I refused to go out of town. Then I met Claire. Claire went above a beyond to make sure I felt connected to my two senior cats 100% of the time I was away and I never once felt uneasy. I was able to actually enjoy my vacation for the first time in a very long time. She was perfect. A breath of fresh air. She kept me updated regularly and frequently with pictures and texts. Actually one of my cat's conditions, he has a compressed nerve near the back of his spine, actually improved while she was watching them. He jumped on the bed to be with her which is something he rarely does, and does only with me. She followed my instructions to a T and was very flexible. She respected my home. I also think she did some light cleaning because it felt cleaner than I left it. I will definitely seek her out the next time I go on vacation. If you're on the fence I promise you it is money well spent. She puts your animals before herself and she will go to great lengths to make sure they are cared for while you're away. The money is well worth the peace of mind. I almost feel like I got a bargain. Thanks again Claire!!!

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!
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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
