“She is punctual and responsive to all messages. Tiffany is very personal, professional and patient with our dogs. She allowed my older dog to relax and chill out while at the same time, she played with my very energetic and playful puppy.”
“Dustin was great with my dogs and followed my senior dog’s med schedule like I asked. I have nervous girl that was unsure at first but Dustin won her over and they were getting along great by the end of the visit. Dustin also went above and beyond and stayed late waiting for me to get home and not leaving the dogs alone.”
“Christopher was fantastic. He helped us with so much more than just our pets after just moving to the area. He was extremely accommodating of our last minute request, and kept us updated throughout the stay. Glad to have found him.”
“Jungeui took great care of my pets and home while I was away. She sent daily updates and made me feel very comfortable having her stay in my home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will use her services again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 3 years now, and my love for animals has always been a big part of who I am. My experience includes providing attentive, loving care through daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and maintaining pets’ normal routines while their owners are away. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to each animal’s individual needs. Whether caring for an energetic pup who loves to explore, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a little extra attention, I strive to make every visit a positive experience. I take pet safety seriously and always make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your beloved animal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. i'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and have fun with your pups! I'm available three days a week midday to late evening I live in an apartment and can hold pets during the day, to play and cuddle! I live near plenty of dog parks and walking trails and will more than likely be on the go enjoying them with your pup.
About: I connect well with all kinds of pets from shy furry friends to exuberant puppies. I am reliable and caring because our pets are very important to us. I have a flexible schedule and am able to fit caring for your pet into my life. Looking after the animals in our lives is very important to me. I love to help your dog get the wiggles out. I am known for taking very long walks and making a dog feel energized yet, want to take a long nap. Having me walk your dog is a healthy decision.
“Paul is an "animal whisperer." He was amazing with our German Shepherd, Lab, and Tabby. We have never left any of our animals in a kennel or with a "stranger" and after significant research, decided to give Rover and Paul a try. Paul immediately connected with our pets during the meet and greet, and took amazing care of them when we went out of town. We highly recommend Paul; especially, to nervous pet parents who appreciate regular updates! We will definitely be requesting Paul's help again.”

“Marrisa did a fantastic job for us! She was a professional in every step of the process and made sure everything was in order. We will definitely invite her to watch our dog and our home again!”
About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs. When it comes to dogs, I've had big dogs, small dogs, and even once took care of 3 dogs for ½ weeks (specifically 3 huskies for ½ weeks). As for cats, they've been a part of my life since I was 3 years old. I've raised cats from kittens to super seniors and even helped treat their ailments throughout the years. I'm currently a full time online student, so I spend most of my time at home working. This leaves me with a lot of free time during the week and weekend. I try to spend as much time as possible with my pets while home and play with them as well. I also make sure to pay attention to their health and behavior as well and do research on things that are abnormal.
“Peace of mind when you're away is an understatement. She will not only take care of your pets but love them. She took care of the house as well and provided constant pictures and videos. Thank you Titi!”
About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
“Liza was amazing - She was super attentive to our Sweetie and Louis and communicated with us perfectly - She took very good care of our home and was super conscientious - We came home to happy and healthy puppies and that's all you can ask for - BOTTOM LINE: we'll be using Liza again FOR SURE and we appreciated her efforts, time, support and love - THANKS LIZA - You rock!!”
About: I have two dogs of my own that have taught me so much. Both of mine have reactive tendencies, so I am no stranger to dogs that need a little extra patience. I have spent many hours in training with my pups, so if you’re looking for someone to help reinforce some skills at home, I can do that! One of my dogs is also epileptic, so I have experience with complex medical needs as well. I have spent the past few months volunteering at a local dog shelter twice a week and I have genuinely loved spending time with the dogs and getting to know them and watch them blossom and find furever homes. I’m looking forward to spending even more time with some incredible furry friends! I currently do not work, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m open to one time sits/walks or something recurring! Overnights are not currently an option for me as I have my own pups to care for. I am looking for jobs at your home (or out an about); I do not offer in-my-home care at this time. But I can come over and spend time with your pet(s) while you’re at work or on date-night, stop in for walks or feeds/potty breaks, or take your dog on an outing like a hike or a trip to downtown! I’m flexible and open to whatever you and your pet need.
About: 3+ years of caregiving experience, I provide dependable, loving care for your pets while you’re away. From daily walks to overnight stays, your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’m an active-duty Navy service member living on base with a lifelong love of animals. Since I can’t have pets of my own right now, I enjoy pet sitting as a way to spend time with and care for animals. I grew up around a variety of pets, have reliable transportation. I am available evenings, weekends, and over nights. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, litter box or yard maintenance, and plenty of attention and affection.
About: Experience with many different pet types and temperaments! I will care for your pets as if they were my own. Flexible scheduling! Also available for some light grooming/bathing/basic training help if needed! I thrive myself on safety, responsibility, consistency and punctuality. When you need me I’ll be there for you and your pet! Safety is a top priority in my day to day when caring for your pet. I am open and willing to provide any specialized service required for your pet. My goal is to help you keep your pet happy and healthy while maintaining your regular schedule.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glendie is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $45 and $52 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 November 2026, there are 1,673 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glendie. 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 Glendie 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 Glendie 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 Glendie 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glendie. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
