“While Evita watched our pup Molly overnight at our house, she was punctual and communicated well. She also took Molly on a nice long walk each day that pleasantly tuckered her out. Molly seemed calm and happy when we returned home.”
“Joe was great with our Fifi, he was really a lifesaver! He stayed at our house as our rescue dog can be a little clingy. I received the cutest pictures and was really able to enjoy myself on vacation knowing she was at home!”
“Ashley took absolutely excellent care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week! I knew from the moment she met our cat during our meet and greet that our little girl was going to be in great hands. Throughout the trip, Ashley reached out with check-ins and photos reflecting how well she was being taken care of. She also responded quickly to any messages and went above and beyond watching our place. We (and our cat) look forward to seeing her again in the future!”
“Lack of communication from another sitter left us scrambling for a pet sitter 1 week before we were leaving town. David answered my request within minutes and immediately set up a meet & greet. He did everything we asked him to do and kept us informed with notes. We recommend and would use him again.”
“They were oh so flexible and understanding when it came to last minute watching my baby Mr. Bigg. I cannot thank them enough! I got photos and every night I Came home from work they were outside waiting with my baby. Kept me updated communication was amazing. If I’m ever in the area again I’m booking them immediately”
“Elizabeth was amazing. We need a last minute dog sitter and she came through and saved vacation! She provided plenty of updates, photos, and videos. Our dog sometimes is a little shy coming out of her crate but she loved Elizabeth. We will definitely use Elizabeth's services again!!”
“I highly recommend Rachel and cannot say enough good things about her and her services! We moved to the area and needed an overnight sitter for our two rescues. I hadn’t left my dogs with anyone new before, so I was a little nervous, but Rachel was sure to put me at ease and my dogs were in great hands! My senior dog ended up being on antibiotics at the time she stayed with them and she took great care of making sure he got his meds. They loved hanging out and snuggling with her - and she even sent me some pictures as an added bonus. ? My dogs tend to get a little overly excited over new people at first, but she handled it so well. You can tell she really does love and care for animals as if they were her own. Again, highly recommend Rachel!”
“I am very very protective over my dog who is a pitbull mix. Jenna is amazing. From day one she made it clear she was confident in working with my dog. My dog is like my child and I wouldn't even trust family to watch him. She gained a relationship with him first starting with weekly walks and he warmed up to her. The updates she provided allowed for a worry free trip out of state knowing my dog was in great hands. Couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my doggos care!”
“Elizabeth is so fantastic with my dog Daisy! She has house sat for me numerous times, she sends pictures with an update everyday (which I love!), and I will definitely call her back again! Daisy loves her too! :-)”
“Maggie did a wonderful job with Morgan & Frankie. She arrived when asked and even stayed longer then planned due to a flight delay. I received pictures and the dogs seemed happy and at ease. She said they were well behaved-everything a dog Mom wants to hear. She will help us again in a few days and I have total confidence they are in good hands and they will be happy to see her. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hi, I’m Amber! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs an energetic outdoor walk, cozy companionship while you’re away, or attentive overnight care in your home, I’m here to give them the top-tier love and attention they deserve. I would love to meet you and your pet companion! Feel free to reach out a schedule a meet and greet with me! 🐾 I am currently going through a career change so this is my primary job at the moment. This is great news for your pets because I can devote all of my time and energy into caring for them! Since I am not currently boating due to my living situation, I will make sure your pet will experience the same care that you provide in your own home.
“Paul took great care of our two puppies while we were on vacation! He sent multiple updates daily with pictures, and they were extremely well cared for. We never had to worry about them, and we were able to enjoy our vacation! I would leave my pets with Paul anytime!!”
“Alisha took great care of my two Westies. One of them requires medication twice a day and she kept that up. Friends at my dog park said they enjoyed her company and that Toby and Bella were "glued" to her (indicating that they really, really like her.) The pups were happy, healthy and well fed when I came home.”
About: I have walked dogs for other families previously. I also have 7 animals at home, so I am quite experienced in animal care. I know about both dogs and cats. I currently work full time. I am available during the week after 5pm. I am also available anytime on the weekends. Might have early morning hours during the week as well. I will not be offering services in my home. However, I will make sure all animals are fed, hydrated and properly cared for. My main focus will be walks.
“Kelly and Hutch became the best of buddies! She did everything I asked and then some. Great communication - sent photos and video. Hutch was calm and happy when we returned and his coat was fabulous after all the brushing. He’s looking forward to the next visit.”
“Molly absolutely crushed it- I can’t say enough good things. Our dogs have huge personalities, some bizarre behaviors, and special needs (and so does our weird old rental house) and she handled all of it with aplomb. Our resident canine klutz tore his paw pad the night before we left, and even though we totally sprung this development on Molly at the last minute, pro that she is, she jumped in and changed his dressings, kept the area clean, AND kept the dog calm to prevent further injury. He was basically fully healed upon our return. Thanks, Molly! We will be back if you’ll have us- with fewer surprises next time, we hope!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glendale
We ( and our girl Daisy) love having Yacob as a house/ dog sitter! He always does a great job taking care of her, is attentive to her needs and available when we check in with him. We always feel confident that Daisy is in great hands with Yacob when we are gone!
Laura was absolutely wonderful and my dog, Rocky, seemed very happy to be with her while we were gone! I reached out to Laura last minute when my other arrangement fell through. We squeezed in two meet and greets within a week just to be sure Rocky was a good fit for her and vice versa. She took notes and really listened to all of the info I shared about Rocky’s needs, quirks, etc. I felt very confident in leaving him with Laura and having her stay at our home. She sent a daily update with a few photos each day, and Rocky was happy as a clam playing, snuggling, and walking to the park with her. I highly recommend Laura and plan to have her stay with Rocky again later this summer!
Jackie was so wonderful in helping take care of our cat and dog while we were away for a week! She’s incredibly kind, and it was clear that our animals took to her almost immediately. Jackie spent some time at our house during the week to keep our cat company, while our dog slept at her house. We came back to our home looking just as we left it. Highly recommend an would use again in a heartbeat!

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 $33 and $83 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 1,214 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 , 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.

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.
