“Bre is great! From the moment we met I could tell she knows what she’s doing and does it well. She asked all the right questions, acknowledged my dog and cats and they were instantly comfortable with her as well. She messaged me to let me know she arrived and sent me pictures daily. She left the house clean and I could tell the animals were happy and relaxed. I will definitely book her again! Go with Bre, you won’t be displeased!”
“Heather is a top-shelf pet sitter who goes above and beyond to keep pets happy and well cared for. She house-sat for about 10 days for my 2 cats, one of whom has chronic illnesses and is shy. She quickly ingratiated herself with both boys more effectively than any other family member, friend or pet professional ever has done. She is highly organized and focused, paying attention to details to provide the best care for them. I came home to 2 happy and healthy boys and a spotless house. I think they will miss her. I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
“Marie is an outstanding and caring pet sitter, very responsive and attentive, spends quality time with your pet while providing updates and pictures for your peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will be using her services in the future for sure!”
“Madison took care of our 4 pets- 2 large dogs & 2 cats while we were out of town for 5 days. One of the dogs had just had surgery and ended up being somewhat challenging with his bandage. She made sure he was taken care of and kept us up to date the whole time. She went above and beyond! We will use her in the future!”
“As always, Haley did everything asked of her and more. She provided tons of photos, updates, and even gave Sally a bath after she went for a little swim in the woods! Sally seemed very fulfilled once I got home and the house was left in great condition. Thank you Haley!”
About: I'm the go to girl for washing up our puppers, and even climbing in the tub just to set them at ease. I go the extra mile to make sure animals are comfortable and happy. I currently have all the freedom to play with your pup, walk them, and care for their needs. So please fill my calendar with puppy play dates! I would like to fully understand the routine the client has for their pet prior to make sure it does not get disrupted and allows the pup to stay at ease.
“Great communication with us while we are away. Loved the pictures daily and took great care of our pets, especially our people aggressive dog. Will continue to book again in the future.”
“Emma was so great with our cat, Finn! She communicated well (and sent pictures!) while we were away. She even brought in our mail and fed our fish which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again if we’re in need of another sitter!”
“Lou took great care of our lab, Jasper. He's an older dog and set in his routine, so we were a little nervous about leaving him with a stranger so Lou came to meet him a couple of times before we left on our trip. They connected right away and he was able to stay home with his familiar routine. He looked so happy in the daily photo that we had no worries about him, and Lou was great about keeping in touch. Happy to have found a great sitter! We highly recommend Lou! ??”
“Linda was great!! Definitely recommend. She was very personable and it was obvious she loves animals. She sent us pictures and videos and kept us updated throughout the weekend. We’ll be reaching out again!”
“Isabel is the best! We felt so confident in Randy’s care while we were away. She was very consistent with sending updates everyday with pictures. Although not her job, we came home and our home was spotless. We appreciate her so much with our anxious baby and she gave updates of how she saw his confidence boost throughout her time with him!”
“Sam took wonderful care of Frank while we were away for the weekend! She sent us lots of updates and pictures, was very patient and understanding of his special quirks and gave him lots of love and attention!”
About: I have two cats and grew up with dogs. Love caring for fur babies and everything in between. I have been a cat mom for 4 years now. Love my two cats. I work full time Monday-Friday 9-5 and full time availability on weekends. Also have flexibility during the week. Excited to get started and work with your fur bub! I am very attentive and loving. Provide my cats with tons of lovings and treats. Play time is a must! Also make time for photos and videos for memories.
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog Nino! When we got home he was calm and happy! She took him for walks every day and gave him the attention he needed. She took great care of him and our home. We’re so happy we found her to care for him when we travel, we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a teenager, 10 plus years and have been around animals since the day I was born. I take pride in the care of other animals and treat them like my own. I have loved and cared for cats and dogs of all sizes. Whether being taken care of in your home or mine, your pet will be treated like family. I currently work full time but I am available on weekends. I work 8:30 am-5:00 pm so am available if needed early mornings before work or after work. 1 week a month I work 10:30am-7:00 pm so would be available that week before 10:30 am. I have a fenced in front yard for dogs to play and stay safe in, my dog is currently crate trained so if your dog needs to be crated I am able to do that as well. I make sure all things dogs/cats shouldn’t have are out of site in my home. My dog is great with dogs and cats.
About: I have been taking care of my own pets and animals my whole life, but recently expanded into watching and doing over night care, dog walking, and pet care for neighbors, family and friends. I’m also insured through Pet Sitters Associates! I’m currently going to Rhode Island College and pursuing my bachelors in Secondary Education. I also work part-time at a local hotel 3-11pm. This means I’m prettt flexible with when I can drop in to do pet-sitting and many of my classes have hour gaps in between so I can fit in pet visits! For my dogs at home, I ensure routine feedings are being followed to their timed feeding, I also focus on walking my own dogs 2-4 times a day, depending on which dog! In my own home I have 3 dogs, and 2 cats. For cats I also focus on ensuring that cats are following their feeding schedule, also ensuring that they are being played with, and enrichment is being provided.

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 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.
