“Evita was absolutely amazing with both of our dogs. She took great care of them and even pivoted during unforeseen circumstances to ensure our dogs stayed loved on and safe while we were gone. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“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!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and patience I have for animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level rather than treating every pet the same. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m able to make time throughout the week for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care while following each pet’s routine and individual needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine consistent. I’m also happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Keisha was a Godsend, one of our cat's requires daily meds, which he hates taking, and she made sure he got them with understanding and positivity, even when personally tested knowing the need that he received them.”
“This is our first time using Rover and I am so glad that Lily was the one to watch Rosie. She did a great job keeping us updated, sending pictures and it looks like she and Rosie had a blast. She even did a little training for us. I highly recommend Lily and we will definitely use her again in the future.”
“It was our second time hiring Elizabeth, another positive experience. My pooch likes his walks and we are grateful she is ok with taking him. She is great with giving updates and sending photos. Upon return the house was just as we left it.”
“Tegra was amazing with our quirky doggo. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tegra provided updates and loved on our pup while we were away for almost two weeks. Upon returning home, we could tell puppers was anxiety free and our home was in excellent order. 1000% would use Tegra again.”
“Rebecca was phenomenal with my little critters! Excellent communication throughout the week and she was able to adjust last minute to needing to give my dog extra TLC and medication. I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”
“Once again, everything went great with Elizabeth and my dog Daisy! The house and the yard looked great when I got home, and she sent me a picture everyday which I LOVE! Thanks again!!!”
“We have high energy dogs. Jeremy came over ahead of time for a meet and greet so they could get to know him. That was important because one of our dogs will nip if he doesn’t know you. He needs that introduction. They both took to him and snuggled in for Jeremy’s stay.”
“Hannah was absolutely wonderful! She took such amazing care of my pets and my home, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The little pet “report cards” were such a thoughtful and personal touch that made me smile! It was clear how much care and attention she gave them. Most importantly, I had complete peace of mind knowing my pets were safe, happy, and in loving hands while I was away. That kind of reassurance is priceless. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their furry family members! ❤️”
“Beth did an excellent job caring for our pets and home while we were away. We appreciate her attention to detail and compassion for our animals. We’d highly recommend her for any house/pet sits.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, patient, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I also have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them! I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or house rules. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while keeping you updated with pictures and messages so you know they’re safe and happy.
“River did a great job taking care of our two boys while we were out of town. I am really grateful for the piece of mind. Thanks River! I will definitely be in touch again for our next trip.”
“Abby was absolutely amazing! Sent me multiple updates with pictures throughout the night and made us feel very confident with him. She attentive and caring, especially with our little 12 wk old! She left our home in better shape than it was before she came. Could not recommend more!”
About: I trained my own dog growing up and bought a beagle at the age of 22. At 30 I rescued another hound who loves his life. We take two walks daily and spend a few days a week at the dog park. Your dog will receive the same treatment! Morning walk. Lunch date in the yard. Afternoon walk or dog park. Potty breaks every two hours unless it's a Wednesday when I’m in the office. I live in a condo so I can't board right now. I do continue to offer walks, drop ins, and can dog sit at your home!
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I have a golden retriever now and love all kinds of dogs. I grew up around dogs my whole life so I am very comfortable with them! I have 3 years of experience in dog walking as well as housesitting. I graduated college in May and am back at home. I now have a lot of open availability! I have a golden retriever who I walk three times a day, morning, evening and night. At my house I have a fenced in backyard but I also like to take my dog for long walks as well. I am comfortable walking dogs long distances.
About: With a lifelong love for dogs and hands-on experience at my local grooming shop, I’ve cared for pups of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From baths and basic grooming to caring for energetic puppies and senior dogs, I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every pup feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every dog like my own! I’m a full-time college student, but I have a flexible routine and weekends available for pet care. I’m naturally active and take walks regularly, so having a furry companion along is always a bonus! I also pet sit as a side job, volunteer with cats whenever I can, and am involved with UWM’s animal rescue and education club. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my weekly routine. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client’s, my priority is their well-being and comfort. I ensure they are well-fed with nutritious meals and have ample time outdoors to play and relieve themselves. Creating a comfortable environment is key so they are familiarized with both myself and their surroundings, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed. With a blend of care, attention, and love for animals, I create an environment where pets thrive and feel at home

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 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
