“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
“Noelle was the best! I’d had a previous bad experience with Rover a few years ago, so was hesitant to try again. After meeting Noelle, she gave me faith that there were still good people in the world who love dogs and work for Rover. Noelle was obviously experienced with dogs and got down on the floor to meet Bear. She stayed with him for several hours on 4 different occasions, took him for walks and was great company for him. Noelle is sweet and personable and I’d highly recommend her as a dog sitter. We appreciated her so much!”
“Vivien is very communicative and responds quickly. She house sat and took care of our 2 dogs. She even send a few pics which was great! I’m already trying to book her again.”
“Jade was fantastic! She watched our 3 dogs for 2 nights at our home and sent so many cute photos. The dogs were happy, healthy, and got lots of love from her. Highly recommend Jade!!”
“Stacie was exceptional. Competent, efficient, good with both dogs and cats, and the house was immaculate, which is not an easy feat with two giant indoor dogs and two cats. We recommend her highly and would absolutely book her again.”
“Briana was fantastic! She stayed at our house for a week to watch our two dogs, and everything was smooth sailing from start to finish. She took them on plenty of walks, made sure they were well taken care of, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy pups and everything just as we left it. Would absolutely recommend Briana to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: In my 10 years of experience, I've made friends with every critter I meet. As a person who’s grown up around animals, creating a comforting atmosphere is a skill that comes smoothly to me. I’ve cared for young animals, old animals, special needs & differently abled animals. In the time that your fur baby & I bond, I’ll be sure to leave them feeling safe, cared for & a big furry smile on their face! I am currently working full time as a Field Technician for Veo. I usually work Tues-Sat, 6am-2pm. With Tuesdays & Sundays being my class days. I am also a working musician. When I’m a clients home, I am always respectful of the space. I make use of any lounge areas, as to bond with the animals & create comfort.

Great communication, sent lots of photos, and made me feel like I didn’t have to worry while I was away. 10/10 recommend!”
“Revann took care of our Kai for a long weekend while we were out on vacation. She is friendly, kept us updated daily, and followed the instructions we left her in our Kai care guide. 😊 She also respected our home, followed the house rules, and cleaned up before we returned. We highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”
“Micah (and his wife!) were amazing dog and house sitters for our week long vacation!

Micah is very responsive and we felt incredibly at ease having him in our home! Would recommend him very highly!!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glendale
Holly D. was impeccable as a sitter for our two high-maintenance small dogs. She took wonderful care of them and our house as well. My flowers are still blooming and our dogs were in high spirits when we returned home. We cherish the daily photos that she sent of her daily activities with the dogs. They were in good hands.
Christina was wonderful from start to finish. She stayed with our two rescue dogs while we flew to Texas for my dad's 80th birthday, and they're not the easiest pair. One has all the energy in the world and is a bit of a handful, and the other is nervous and usually hides from everyone. Christina had a handle on both of them, and they both loved her. That says everything. She was communicative, kind, friendly, and genuinely helpful the whole time. She also left our home in immaculate condition. Knowing everyone was in such good hands let us actually relax and enjoy the trip. We'll absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!
Alexis was so sweet and I really felt comfortable with her staying in my home. And OMG my dog was obsessed with her 😂 Very easy to talk to and confirm details with and you can tell she loves animals. We will definitely book with Alexis as much as she’ll have us!
Kaitlyn did a great job watching our dog Stella in our home. She was very accommodating when I let her know Stella had a leg injury and needed some extra care while we were away. When we came home, Stella was healthy and happy and we trusted Kaitlyn with staying over with her in our home. We would definitely recommend her!
Stop looking and book Michael! You won’t find a better person to take care of your pups! We had another dog sitter cancel the week before our trip, and we are SO grateful we found Michael. Despite the short notice, he made time to meet our dogs beforehand, and they absolutely loved him. Michael was an incredible communicator throughout the entire process. He stayed at our house and somehow left it even better than he found it! He sent us daily updates, shared the most adorable pictures, kept us in the loop on everything the dogs were up to, and let us know if anything came up with the house. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands while we were away. We could tell they were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Michael went above and beyond, and we’ll absolutely be booking him again for our next trip. Cannot recommend him enough!
Nathan really helped us out in a pinch when our other sitter had to cancel last minute. He was very personable, showed up punctually for our meet & greet and was responsive and communicative while we were away. It allowed us to enjoy a necessary get-away. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house! Highly recommend Nathan and we & Romey look forward to his next visit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glendale is $55 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $91 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 November 2026, there are 8,666 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 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.
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
- 95% 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.
