“Rachael was absolutely amazing!!!! She took such good care of our pitbull and actually got our sweet but stubborn dog to go on some long walks, which never happens with walkers. She sent lovely long updates with plenty of detail, which was really comforting and helpful. She also took amazing pictures of Polly, which we still love looking at. Would definitely rebook!!!”
“Ninon was wonderful! She was great with our dogs. They were happy when they met her. One is a puppy and can be a handful and she was a pro. Super professional and kind. So glad to have had her over!”
About: I’m a dependable and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I’ve handled daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, playtime, and overnight care while making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m especially good at adapting to each pet’s personality — whether that means keeping up with high-energy dogs or being patient with anxious or senior pets. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands. I’m currently a student and have a very flexible schedule and will be happy to accommodate you. Please feel free to reach out to me. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment with lots of supervision, exercise, and interaction throughout the day. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and energy level to make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Sarah & David are super sweet and great housesitters. They took care of our fur babies for the weekend and sent photos with updates. They’re amazing and we will definitely be using them again!! Highly recommend!”
“Emily is amazing! They took such good care of my 2 kitties as well as my home, would 100% book them again :) Super communicative and I felt at ease leaving everything in their hands, most importantly, my kitties were so comfy and relaxed when I got home.”
“Brigette was wonderful! She stayed at our house for a week and took great care of both our pups and our home. She kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind and made us feel confident that our dogs were happy and well cared for. She also went above and beyond by washing the sheets and towels she used and leaving the house in great condition. It was so nice to come home to happy dogs and a clean house. We would absolutely book Brigette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”
“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!!”

“megan is amazing. she dog sat our one year old little troublemaker for the weekend and she responded to megan’s calm energy and loved her right away. megan is super quick to reply to messages, did a meet and greet before our trip, shared cute photos along the way, and followed all of our directions perfectly (including giving medication). 10/10 highly recommend her!”

“Amanda was wonderful! She stayed with our cat Seth and took great care of him and the house. We were a bit nervous since it was our first time leaving him since adopting him, but she went out of her way to send photos while we were gone and Seth clearly loved her. The house was spotless when we returned. Trust Amanda with your home & pets!”
“Neha did such an amazing job and took such good care of our little puppy while we were at work! She stuck to his schedule and made sure he didn’t tear up our house! We would definitely use Neha again!”
About: I have been taking care of my friends doggies for a few years. Just thought I could continue to do so and also make money. I am a graphic & fashion designer. I am currently working from home part time meeting a few time a month. My schedule and hours are pretty flexible. I would preferred making visits to the clients/pet's home. It is more convenient, less stress for the owner and pets since they are use to their environment. I'm also open to staying over there as well if requested.
About: If you’re looking for someone who absolutely adores animals AND is responsible/ reliable then I am your gal! I have a profound love and respect for any animal and would love to share my services/experience with you! I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was in diapers and have developed such a deep respect and love for any pet I’ve come across. I’ve had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, you name it! I’ve raised the majority of them from their baby stage such as their puppy/kitten stage. I also have had the pleasure of giving them a beautiful life and led them into their senior stage. I also volunteer at cat shelters and have pet sat for friends and family members. I make it a priority to provide a safe and welcoming environment so any pet under my care can feel comfortable with me. I also love to play for whatever time your pet needs and give joy to every pet under my care. My past clients would describe me as very reliable, patient, warm, and very flexible and understanding of certain needs your pet may have. I understand every furry friend is unique and different from one another so any accommodation or request you may have, I am more than open to adjusting! I currently have three of my own. I have a husky, shih tzu and a Siamese cat! So I have a very broad experience with different sized pets and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. I have a very open and flexible schedule and I would love to provide my services to you! As I work with the local district, I have all of summer available! So it still allows me to have a very open/flexible schedule. I can do weekdays, weekends, including holidays! I’m available from early in the AM to late at night. Weekends include anytime after 2pm. I have a gated porch with lots of room for play and a quiet calm neighborhood for long walks and quality time with your pet. I can also administer medication and crate or provide any instructions left by the owner.
“Alejandra was fantastic! She showed up on time, interacted well with the dogs, sent us many updates including pictures and videos. It was comforting for us to know that our dogs are being taken care of in the same fashion that they normally are. This was our first time using Rover for overnight and we were very pleased with Alejandra.”
“Tracy was very responsible with our "high needs" kitties, including staying over at our house, 3 meals/day, and giving transdermal meds. The house was clean when we came home and she communicated consistently. Would definitely hire again. :)”

Brigette was so good with the kitties! She played with the kitties a lot and kept our babies happy while we were out of town. She was as great at communicating everyday to update us on them and how they were adjusting, and when we got home, the cats looked happy to see us but also in a great mood! Would definitely book her again in the future!
Lilit was absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond in taking care of Churro while we were on our Cruise. Lots of walks and loves shared in pictures during the week. I felt 100% confident in have her watch our baby and my home. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her if you are looking for someone dependable that will love your pet.
Sophie was wonderful with Reggie. I was anxious leaving Reggie as he had pain in his hind legs before our trip. She had no problem administering medication when Reggie needed it. She was attentive and followed his feeding instructions, and cleaning him after his walks. She gave us regular updates with photos. We had some issues with our smoke alarm and although she was out, she returned home quickly to check on Reggie and the house. Reggie loved cuddling with her - he is quite picky :). I would definitely hire her again! Thank you Sophie for your care for Reggie and giving us peace of mind on our holiday!
Hailey was seriously the best. She watched JoJo while we were in Dallas for a wedding and we could not have asked for a better sitter. We got to meet Hailey before the trip and had her over for dinner to get to know her, and we felt so good about having her watch JoJo. She was so kind, easy to talk to, and you can tell she really cares. While we were gone, she was amazing. She communicated with us the whole time, sent so many pictures, fed JoJo on time every day, played with her a ton, and followed all of our instructions really well. JoJo looked happy and comfortable the entire time, which meant so much to us being away. Honestly, Hailey went above and beyond. She wasn’t just “watching” JoJo, she really spent time with her and cared for her. We are so thankful for her and would absolutely book with her again. Cannot recommend her enough!
Alexis is super caring, thoughtful, and communicative. She took care of our dog for the third time while we were away on a 2 week trip. She sent adorable pics everyday, and we came home to a chill and happy pup. Plus, the house was spotless. It’s such a relief to have found Alexis—we always know Lucy is in great hands while we’re away.
Ruby was awesome with our two fur babies Noah and Miso. She came by to meet us all in advance and our pups took to her right away. She followed our outline for the day to a T and communicated with us throughout our trip and sent cute photos. She is very responsible and also has a very sweet demeanor that the dogs loved. My hubby and I highly recommmend her.
Just came back to a very happy dog and clean home! Corrine/Thorn was a wonderful communicator and took care of Fred excellently (including an outing to a dogs birthday party that Fred loved). We’d be thrilled to have them watch Fred and stay in our home anytime!

FAQs for House Sitting - Glendale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glendale on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,429 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.
