“Dia and I loved having Sarah to housesit at our home in Kirkwood!!! I highly recommend Sarah and will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you again Sarah for providing such great care of Dia!!!”
“We had an amazing experience with Jenna! She was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that really put us at ease. The dogs seemed happy, relaxed and well-loved! It is clear Jenna loves dogs and took care of ours like they were her own! She also house-sat for us and left everything spotless. We came home to a vacuumed, clean house and couldn’t have been happier. We’re so grateful for the care she showed our pups and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Claire was above and beyond for us! She took the most incredible care of Pebbles and she was so flexible with my schedule changes. She was so patient when our A/C went out while I was gone. She is the blueprint for dog watchers and there is nothing I wouldn’t trust her with! She played with Pebbles and I got a lot of photos. Claire is an ANGEL!!!”
“Allison was amazing. Willing to meet before we left town, sent us a picture every day, was flexible when we needed her to come earlier than originally planned, and left our house cleaner than she found it! We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Wow! This was our first experience with Rover and we were very fortunate to find Jeremy. Everything about the experience was first class. I highly recommend Jeremy, but I selfishly do so with caution. Everyone will want to hire him and he won’t be available for us next time. Definitely a 5 star experience. Jeremy was prompt, communicative, respectful, attentive to our requests, also to the animals, and flexible in his schedule. Thank you Jeremy.”
“Bennett did a wonderful job watching my two dogs while my family was on vacation. He bonded with both of them and helped them be comfortable while we were gone. I will definitely ask Bennett to watch my dogs again.”
About: Nearly three decades experience Wide open availability Have worked with every breed/personality imaginable. Can adapt to any pets needs great or small. Have worked with all ages and medical needs. Medication, food sensitivities, and personal preferences are very important and will be treated with equal priority. I have a very open availability and no spouse or children. I prioritize the pets I'm caring for over other obligations and will be open about any scheduling conflicts. (but that's unlikely to happen) My service involves precise and personalized care depending on the pet's needs and personality. No two pets are the same and each needs to be understood according to their lifestyle.
“Ashley was incredible! We needed help at the last minute as we were heading out of the country and Ashley happily stepped in and treated our pup like a queen.”
“Kayla is amazing! My dogs and cat loved her! I could tell how happy they were in the photos she sent. She house sat for the weekend, and was exceptionally clean and considerate. My senior dog is diabetic and a picky eater, and she was able to get him to eat all his meals! With her background as a vet tech I completely trusted her with giving him is insulin. She’s so kind and took such good care of my pets!”
“Savannah was amazing. Highly recommended as someone to help take care of your pets and home. Very conscientious and walked our dog five times every day and played with her tons, sending pictures and video updates all the time.”
“I feel fortunate to have found Anya on Rover to dog sit my beloved beagle for a week while I was on vacation. She did a great job, and I appreciated her sending me updates during the week on how my dog was doing. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend Anya!”
“Becky was amazing with my two pups, making sure they got all the love and exercise needed while I was gone. She took great care of my house and I can’t wait to have her back!”
About: I am a very pet-oriented person, having had cats and dogs in my life since I was small. I am empathetic to when pets need extra reassurance and attention, and go the extra mile to make sure my furry friends feel comfortable and well cared for! I'm always available to answer any questions or concerns, and am independently insured outside of the Rover Guarantee. I am currently working part time which enables me with a lot of flexibility and free time to meet your pet care needs. Chances are great I will be able to accommodate your pet visit or pet sitting schedule needs so feel free to reach out and let's get acquainted! I prefer to care for pets in their regular home space to limit their stress. I will be careful to follow all instructions and prefer written instructions for pet care and any light home care needs you have.

“This was the first time we used Isabella and were very happy with her service. It was a little hard for her as she had to take over for the last 3 days from another sitter but she was very cooperative and handled it well! I liked that she sent us pictures and a note of all the the things she did before leaving. I will definitely use Isabella again!”
“Jenni was an excellent dog sitter for our 2 dogs. She is friendly and very communicative. We received regular updates with pictures on walks and questions when necessary. Our dogs were happy when we got home and clearly well cared for. I would rebook Jenni again!”
“Leroy was absolutely wonderful! He took care of our two dachshunds as if they were his own while we were out of town. Throughout our trip, he sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, healthy, and well cared for. By the end of the stay, they were genuinely sad to see him go! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to Leroy for future trips. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”

Chris was great about updating us on our pets. We truly feel like they were very well cared for while we were gone. We would book Chris to watch them without hesitation and highly recommend him as a pet sitter. Oh, and the house was left in spotless condition which was so appreciated!
Izzy is a delightful, caring and conscientious young lady. She spent real time with me during our meet and greet & my dog took to her as if she was her owner. KC is a very timid and fearful baby but warmed up to Izzy like I have never seen. Trustworthy, timely and left my home cleaner than when I left. I would choose her over and over and over again! 💕
Emily was so flexible with us. When our first trip was suddenly canceled, she agreed to come fewer days so we could go somewhere closer. She was great with the two animals a cat and a dog. Both seniors. she sent pictures & the house was impeccable when we returned thank you, Emily. Hoping you’ll stay again if needed.
We had Mallory stay overnight at our house with our senior Persian. Before her stay, she came over for a meet and greet so everyone felt comfortable. It was apparent that she is a very kind and caring person. During her stay she kept us updated with how things were going and pictures. She cleaned up a couple of puking incidents and let us know that Marigold had in fact puked, had been sneezing and hadn’t had a bowel movement. These updates were truly appreciated and I was relieved she was paying attention to things that seemed out of the ordinary. Marigold routinely potties on potty pads and Mallory kept up with those changings which, in my opinion, is above and beyond kitty care. Additionally, Miss Marigold tends to yowl in the nights as she has aged and has reduced vision in one eye. Mallory was patient with those night time needs and brought her back to bed with her to comfort her. Overall, I appreciate the above and beyond care and I recommend her to anyone who has kitties!
Michael is a great guy and animal lover. I am so grateful, he did an great job looking after my 2 dogs and 4 cats house sitting while I was away on a business trip. He took great care of each of my pets and shared lots of photos and updates throughout the day. Michael showed he is reliable and a genuinely nice person. I will for sure request him again for my next trip, my dogs like him very much which makes my life happier as I travel a lot for business and am new to St Louis. Thanks again, Michael.
Alexandra watched my German Shepherd and senior cat while I was away for a float trip over the weekend. Even though she knew I would be in an area with limited cell reception, she took the time to send pictures and updates a few times a day so they’d arrive when I did have service. I could tell that my printed care instructions were followed because they were checked off and notes added where needed. Alexandra also went the extra mile and took the time to brush my cat, strip the bedding off the bed, and leave a written note before she left. Would highly recommend Alexandra as a petsitter!
I feel fortunate to have found Anya on Rover to dog sit my beloved beagle for a week while I was on vacation. She did a great job, and I appreciated her sending me updates during the week on how my dog was doing. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend Anya!
I came home to a happy dog and a clean house, this was great. Max took good care of my senior dog while we were away and also tended to a couple domestic surprises that occurred while we were gone, all with common sense and grace. Would definitely do this again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glendale is $65 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 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 November 2026, there are 1,657 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.

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.
