“Will definitely use Michael again! I hired Michael to watch our house and our dog while we went away for the weekend. He took great care of my house and would send us updates of my dog playing and having fun! Highly recommend Michael!”
“Zoey was great. She made my fur baby Patches feel safe and secure. Zoey responded with texts and reassurance my dog was eating and running outside. I would highly recommend zoey. Everyone should have a sitter like her.”
“mantha was amazing with my babies! 🐾 She sent us daily updates and multiple pictures, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. We booked her last minute, and she was so kind and willing to help take care of our dogs. My dogs looked so happy and comfortable with her, and you can tell she truly cares for animals. She did an amazing job, and I would definitely book with her again! ❤️”
About: Hi! My name is Taylor and I am a caring, responsible, and patient pet lover. I have experience caring for a variety of different animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens, and fish. I enjoy spending my time with animals and would love to my spend my time caring for your animals! Please reach out if you have any more questions and I would be glad to answer them. :) I am currently working remotely full time so I would be able to give your animals lots of attention in the mornings and evenings but I will also be able to check on them throughout my work hours. I like to meet with pet parents before staying in their home to learn their routine and how they care for their animals. I like to make a list of all the things pet parents tell me so I can ensure that I provide the best care for their animals.
“Mae was awesome. She was super communicative, clean, and took great care of my needy animals. We have two cats and two dogs, who are on meds and supplements and I knew they were in good hands with Mae. She sent great pictures and kept me updated/informed all week about what was going on. She’s amazing and I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
About: My name is Ashley. I currently work in healthcare and looking to make some extra money. I always had dogs growing up from extra small to extra large dog. I am a cat mom of 2! I also have experience with farm animals! I currently work full time in healthcare in Pittsboro NC. During the week I am unavailable unless it’s walking your pet after work. I get off around 5pm! I am free Friday afternoons and most weekends. I will treat your baby just like it’s my own pet. I love to get to know each pet and their personalities! I do not offer visits at my home due to restrictions.
“William is absolutely amazing! We have 3 very high energy dogs with a very strict routine. William followed their routine without flaw and was more than just “watching them”. He sent photos upon arrival, throughout the stay, and before leaving. His communication was timely and clear. We will be booking with William again because he is someone we know we can trust with our pups and they enjoyed him. Even our very picky cat took to William right away!”
About: I have had dogs since I was eight years old! When it comes to family and friends, I have had the opportunity to dog sit and care for their pets whenever they need! I have owned small dogs and big dogs and love to connect with all kinds of animals! I’m currently working a part-time job! I am available after 2:30pm everyday or earlier! I am also available on the weekends for the majority of the day! I have a fenced in backyard along with 2 large breed dogs who live with me! I live less than 10 minutes from a park that allows all breeds of dogs where I love to walk my own large breed dogs!
“Tessah took amazing care of our pup while we were out of town. She provided constant updates and communication to help us feel at ease. I’d highly recommend her to anybody considering her services.”
“One of the truly great dog care takers out there. She was so attentive and made our dogs feel so loved! We have one dog who has severe allergies and needs daily medications, and another who is VERY shy. Not only did Elise care for them as if they were her own, she got our shy girl out of her shell. This is truly a feat that not very many people have been able to do. We were blown away with her daily updates and the amount of detail they included. If you are looking for someone to treat your dogs like family, and take all the stress off leaving your pets at home- look no further than Elise. We cannot recommend her enough.”
“Savanna stayed in our house for 10 days and took excellent care of Gemma! She followed our instructions perfectly and made sure that Gemma got all of the walks, care, and attention that she needed. We would definitely use her again and appreciate how well she looked after our furry baby!”
“I have nothing but amazing things to say about Mary! I have two dogs that require medications and someone to stay in home with them. Mary came over before my trip to meet them and make sure she knew everything that was required to take care of my girls! Throughout my time away, Mary was very communicative with pictures and was always giving me updates about how my dogs were doing. She was extremely sweet and loving toward my dogs and I would recommend her to anyone who is apprehensive about leaving their dogs.”
About: I have tons of experience in doggy day care, and my husband and I moved to the area 3 years ago. He is active duty ARMY, so he can be gone a lot, and what better way to fill the time than with furry friends! I will love your dog like my own. I go to the gym in the morning, than I am home the rest of the day! We will have plenty of time for walks and play time and I hope you meet you and you furry friend soon! I am getting my masters degree in nutrition from an online university so I do all of my work from home! It is the perfect home for your doggie too! I will love your pet as you do! Walk and feed in the morning and then feed and a walk after dinner plus the dog gets free roam in and out of the house because we have a fully fenced in yard I’m a stay at home mom with two little kids! They are two and five. We have a huge fenced in yard and I am never gone for more than an hour or two.
“Toodles had such a great time with her! She took amazing care of Toodles and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Toodles was happy, comfortable, and loved. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl!!!! :)”
About: I've had animals in my house for over 20 years. Spanninng a cockatiel, a cat, five dogs and my clown fish who are going on 18 years old. Once, I drove the bird into the Tuft's vet school in a blizzard on a weekend night. Another time I took one of the clown fish into the Tufts satellite clinic on a Sunday because he hadn't eaten for days. Both pets lived to tell their tale. Cats are great, I love how they set the rules :) But dogs are where my heart is, especially Airedales, and rescue dogs are a labor of love! My priorities start with my pet family, unless I'm taking care of yours. Then, your pets become my priority. I work from home most of the time and that allows me to have the ultimate flexibility in my schedule so that I can care for your pets as appropriate, on their time. I've raised my dog training game significantly over the past few years, attending regular sessions with my trusted trainer, Baptiste. Our work has focused on highly reactive dogs and also puppy training. Like kids, pets can do no wrong. I do not get upset with them, I just clean the mess ;)
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing with our two pups. She even came to get them, sent pictures almost every day, was very responsive, and even dropped them off at our house. We got home and were greeted by them which was amazing. Highly recommend!!!”

Potty breaks as many as needed. Taking them to dog parks and walks. Have fun with snuggles and treats. Enjoy their stay as much as possible! Will keep them clean and their areas clean at my house. At clients house can do chores needed to keep the house tidy and/or with the pets.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have one of my own, I am great at being active with them and would love to dog sit or dog walk for you. I have plenty of references, and would love to watch your dog babies and treat them like my own for how every long you need. I currently work part time so I have lots of time to spend with your animals and can stay with them as much as they need! We have a big fenced in area for our dogs, and take them on car rides and to the dog park, they love being outside!

FAQs for House Sitting - Glendon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 397 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glendon. 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 Glendon 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 Glendon 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 Glendon 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glendon. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
