“One of the most important things when our family goes away is making sure we have a caring, responsible sitter for our dog, Bucky. Alyssa is amazing! We can go away and be certain that Bucky will be loved and cared for! We highly recommend her!❤️”
“I needed a sitter with short notice and David was able and willing to come meet my 3 dogs within hours of contacting him. He was kind and gentle with my boys and knew how to approach one of them who is fearful. He listened carefully to my instructions and asked when something wasn’t clear. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him when we met the same day he stayed overnight. He stayed longer when we were going to be home later which I appreciated. When we got back, he left a kind note and some chocolates for us. I would hire David again!”
“Zahira was a great dog and housesitter! She was punctual, very communicative and sent plenty of photos and videos of our dog each day. Our pup was happy and healthy when we got home. We’ve already booked her to watch our dog again! Highly recommend, thanks so much!!”
“Katie was an excellent dog sitter! She was communicative, thoughtful, and made sure that my anxious pup maintained her routine - it really felt like a seamless continuation of her life. Looking forward to working with Katie again in the future!”

“Alexis was incredibly kind and understanding. We had a dog sitter cancel and she agreed to help with our brother’s dog alongside ours on Thanksgiving day. She took good care of the boys and was good at updating us.”
About: Hi I had a dog for 16 years I like playing with dogs and taking them for long runs If necessary I will feed your dog and take care of a bowl full of water If I need to keep him away from other dogs or vice versa let him hang out in the park and enjoy it I'll do it I will listen to everything you have to say about what your dog needs because I think that is the most important thing Because for example my dog is allergic to a certain food so as much as I want my dog to be okay I will protect your dog the same way Finally I would be happy if you would contact me at your convenience
“I've had Peter petsit for a year or two now, and he's fantastic. He's responsive, timely, trustworthy, and communicative. You can tell he really cares about the animals and treats them like family. Peter goes above and beyond, and he's helped us with a crisis or two while we were out of town. He did really well with my reactive dog (who loved him despite being aloof with most people) as well as my new puppy. Peter is my go-to for pet care and once you hire him, I'm sure he'll be yours too!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.
“Trevor was wonderful during a not so great time for my pup. Burt was in post op recovery and Trevor was able to take great care of him, provided daily updates, took him for his stroller rides and gave him his meds so he can rest up.”
“Whitney did a great job taking care of my dog & cat for a few days while I was away. She was very responsive and I came home to two happy babies. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our dog Reggie! It was the first time we left him and she was amazing about sending pics and updates! I couldn’t be more appreciative of the care she took of our puppy”
“Kayleigh was amazing with my 3 pugs. She was kind, dependable and definitely loved my dogs. She was also very reliable, which is always nice when you are booking someone to watch your dogs aka babies. I highly recommend Her and am looking to use her again real soon. Thanks..😊”
“Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats in our home and now have a dog of my own! I have experience with a variety of breeds - Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Lab, Malinois, Husky, Golden Retriever - and a variety of sizes! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and all breeds. I will love and treat your dog like my own and I am happy to help meet your pet’s needs. I have helped take care of my family pets, taken care of my own dog, dog and cat sat for neighbors, and taken many dogs on walks. I helped train a family puppy and continuously been working on training with my own dog - I am able to carry over any training you have been doing in my visits or walks. I am currently working full time and doing dog walking/drop in visits on the side. I am able to help in the morning and afternoon around my fixed schedule. In the summer I will have more availability due to working in the school district and can help more if you are looking for more frequent visits! I make sure the pet is comfortable in their environment, especially as they can be nervous with a new person. I care for them as you typically would to keep their routine the same.
“Greilyn was wonderful! It was our first time using Rover, or a service like this, and we were a bit nervous. But her friendliness and easy-going demeanor put our minds at ease. She kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout the stay, which was such a great gesture. We will absolutely be calling on Greilyn again in the future!”
“Bridget was awesome. My pets regular sitter cancelled last minute. The was her first time sitting for my dog Ruben and Bridget stepped in the last minute. She took excellent care of Ruben. She gave me daily updates, pictures and videos. I felt very comfortable leaving Ruben in her care. Within a day, Ruben was following her around every where and they seemed like good buddies. I highly recommend Bridget!”

Bridget was very helpful on short notice when I needed an overnight pet sitter for my anxious Doberman. She sent me a lot of pictures and updates throughout her stay with him. Made me feel like she genuinely cared for him and made me feel at ease while I was away.
Ashiera watched our two dogs in our home while we were away. She was amazing! Our pups were well cared for and so happy and comfortable with all the attention they received. Ashiera was wonderful and kept us updated with messages and photos which gave us total peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend!
Sarah is great. I needed an in home sitter last minute and she was very accurate to that. My dog can be very anxious and shy around new people, but he warmed up to them very quickly during the meet and greet. Next time I need an in home pet sitter I will use Sarah again.
Thanks Alyssa for taking care of my babies. I always feel comfortable traveling when she is with them. My home was tidy after her stay, and most of all my girls were happy and content. Merry Christmas and a very happy new year! Will stay in touch for my next adventure!❤️💚

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glendale is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $80 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 October 2026, there are 5,076 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.
<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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
