“We are so grateful for this team! They do such a wonderful job with our Batman who needs special attention and care. Thank you again! They go above and beyond and when you come home you can feel relaxed.”
“Alicia is conscientious and played with our pups —which is a big win! Also on this trip one pup had some stomach issues. Alicia was quick to contact us and willing to take Augie to the vet. So appreciative.”
“Claire has been our best dog sitter to date- she did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and house while we were out of town for a week. She communicated frequently and was very understanding of our complex dog set up. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Latasha was wonderful! All the cats loved her as soon as they met her. She has a natural talent when it comes to getting to know your pets. She sent pictures of our cats to us everyday on vacation and was super responsive on her phone when we wanted to see our pets. It was such a relief knowing that she was here with them. One of the things I appreciated the most was that when we got here it was as clean as when we left it. She took all the notes and she performed the tasks laid out to her exactly like we did with the cats. She also helped keep them on their schedule by following their feeding times. Latasha played with them which is honestly more than I do sometimes. They may have gotten a little spoiled with all the attention lol. Each day she would send images but she'd also send a little story or observation of the cat. That was nice because it helped us to know that they were acting in their usual ways and not sad that we were gone and missed us. I would 1000% book Latasha again. If you've never had a cat sitter (we hadn't) she will answer all your questions and really set your nerves at ease.”
“Nicki was great! She gave Sampson a lot of attention, she was on time and very reliable… and left my house as clean as when she arrived. We already booked her again.”
“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Kobe! She was super communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Kobe looked so happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”
“Max was extremely patient and attentive with our senior dog. He left the house clean and Jeffrey was a happy boy when we got home - accident-free! Thanks for keeping Jeffrey calm and relaxed. :)”
“Tori took great care of our 2 dogs and 3 cats (plus a stray kitty staying with us!) she was flexible and communicative - we are so grateful for her taking on the care of our chaotic household.”
“Lauryn stayed at our house for ten days and took fantastic care of our two older dogs with multiple medication needs. She sent great photos that made us confident the dogs were well loved and the house looked amazing when we got back.”
“Marsha cared and entertained our exuberant 1 year 3 month old King Charles/ Irish Setter for 5 days. She noticed a stick he had chewed got caught in the roof of his mouth and removed it quickly. She took charge quickly and communicated about Murphy’ care daily and reassured us with short videos. Our cat also benefitted from her expert care. I heartily recommend Marsha for house sitting and am grateful she watched over Murphy and our cat Chase. Thank you, Marsha.”
“Frances was fantastic! She communicated and sent pictures. She handled my problem child/dog with grace and compassion. We will definitely use rover and Frances again!”
“I recently hired Jeremy to help me with my Doberman and he did a fantastic job! He was super communicative and my girl thoroughly enjoyed her time with him. Highly recommend him!!”
“Grateful for Lesley! This was our first time working with her and she did a great job taking care of our 2 cats and home while we were away for the weekend. She was friendly, professional, attentive to both their needs, a great communicator and shared lots of updates on her progress with them. Both cats showed multiple signs that they were comfortable with her, which was a huge relief and provided the peace of mind we needed to relax while we were away. Thanks Lesley!”
“Absolute professional. Emily cares for my dogs like I do. She’s a clear and thorough communicator and I trust my dogs in her care and company. I’m a repeat client and will not hesitate to request her help again.”
“Literally the best ever!!! I could not recommend someone more than her! She took such great care of our neurotic dog and made Bailey feel at home and so comfortable, it was like we were never even gone!”
About: I have had pets and taken care of other's pets for most of my life! I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I have been house/pet sitting for the last few years on my own but I'm trying to expand my client base and meet new furry friends! I also have lots of experience with cats! A large portion of my clients prefer overnight stays but I am willing to do drop ins as well. I'd love to hear from you soon. I currently work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. With notice I can make sure I am able to spend plenty of time with your babies! I have done some house sitting before and never had any complaints! I am also very responsive and I will take good care of your pets and your home. No worries!
“Natalee did an amazing job caring for my boys. She did a great job keeping us updated and sent several fun pics of them. She took care of them like they were her own. I'm so happy I found someone that I can trust with my babies. She truly provided peace of mind for me. Natalee is now family, and I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Alex is such a professional! He’s always on time, has great communication skills and took such wonderful care of our schnauzer while we were away for the weekend. She just took to him so quickly and made a friend for life. He sent us pictures throughout the trip and helped me feel at ease. We recommend Alex for your pet care! He’s terrific!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glendale
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!
Thank you to Alicia for taking great care of our cats and backyard chickens while we were out of town! I knew they were in great hands and I really appreciated the updates and photos. You even won the trust of our shy cat, something that takes most people a while. Thank you again for all of your effort and care for our crew!
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.
Chris was amazing! Great communication and some great pics of our pups enjoying their time with him. Our pups were relaxed and happy when we came home and our house was spotless. This was our first experience with Chris and Rover, but it most certainly will not be our last.
Clarisa took great care of my 2 senior dogs and one senior cat for a week while I was away for 5 days. She was very sweet my pets, and they were happy and content when I got home as if I had never been gone. Exactly what you hope for! Clarisa was very communicative with me during the trip and sent daily photos of them which is always comforting. I highly recommend her services for your pets!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Glendale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glendale on Rover is $35.31 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 1,702 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.

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.
