“Juliette was an awesome sitter. She stayed with my cat and dog for a week in the house. Kept everything tidy, and helped my pitbull (who does tend to jump up on visitors) on track with his training during my trip, and my usually shy cat who hides when I leave was greeting me at the door. I will definitely continue to ask Juliette for her services. Highly recommend”
“Angelique did a great job watching our dog while we were away for the day! I received updates when she was coming and going. Looking forward to using her services again, thanks Angelique!”
“Sara was wonderful! We met prior to my trip. She took care of my 2 kitties while I was away. I would def use her again. I appreciate getting pictures of my fur babies while I was away.”
“Liz was absolutely amazing! She was super caring with our furry babies !!! She kept us posted the entire time with texts and picture's! Definitely recommend!!!! Not only did she take outstanding care of our dogs but went to the trouble of leaving the house impeccable!!! Will be using again for sure!!!!!!”
“I am so happy I reached out through Rover to Joshua. I have two large dogs and one of them has endless energy, two large cats, a leopard gecko and 10 chickens. Kind of last minute, I decided to take a quick weekend trip. My younger dog is a handful and I was worried that I would not find the person to understand and care for my puppy and all the others. Then I contacted Joshua. Punctual, polite, knowledgeable about breeds and specifics and best of all!?!? Finn likes him. I had a wonderful trip. Joshua sent photos and videos and kept me updated on how everything was at home. He stayed at my home and also hous sat for me. Joshua kept the house the way I keep it. He made ire to collect my mail and some medicine that was accidentally shipped and needed to be refrigerated. I would highly recommend Joshua for both house sitting and keeping a bunch af what most people would refer to as a group of large animals. Thank you Joshua!!!”
About: My family has had a pet dog for my entire life. More recently I adopted two older dogs from the area shelter and provided them both amazing years of love and comfort. I am a client support contractor which allows flexibility in my daily schedule to care for your pet needs. I have availability generally on shorter notice. Pets are family. I will follow your specific requests to address any concerns, individual behaviors and unique pet personalities. Each of our special friends deserve it.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I take the time to make every pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and care instructions. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I have flexibility in my schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, daycare, and other pet care needs depending on the day and service. I’m happy to communicate about your pet’s schedule ahead of time so I can make sure they receive the attention and care they need with early notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and pay close attention to their pet’s behavior, routine, and needs. I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and provide a calm and clean environment. I’ll also keep you updated during visits so you know how your pet is doing.
“Carlina kept me up to date daily, gave my dog extra walks and managed her medication with no issues. Thank you, Carlina for taking good care of Sarah and staying with her at our home!!”
About: Dogs are part of the family! They deserve care from someone who truly understands them. I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and dog mama myself for 5+ years, bringing years of first-hand experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious or reactive pups. My approach is calm, patient, and attuned to each dog’s individual needs. Having worked in the medical field, I’m also confident caring for dogs with medical needs or special care requirements. Your dog gets my full attention! I’m currently on a career break and can't wait to meet all the local pups! I understand how important it is to know your special furry-friend is well cared for when you're away. I also know how unpredictable work and travel can be, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their comfort and routine. As a dog-mama and homeowner myself, I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. Things will be kept things tidy and secure, and every pup will receive the same love and attention I give my own dog. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing inside, I focus on safety, calm energy, and clear communication so that you always know how your dog is doing.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes including my own GSD and my wheaten terrier from 8 weeks old to adulthood. I also have experience babysitting my best friend’s Doberman and my mom’s pittie mixes. I currently work full time but I get up early to make sure my dog gets her walk and is fed twice a day. We also hike often on the weekends and lead a very active lifestyle. We currently have a fenced in yard and lots of backyard space to play. We also have the convenience of living in a neighborhood with lots of sidewalks for safe daily walks.
About: I’ve lived with and helped care for dogs since I can remember, and cats for the past decade now. I truly believe that our pets are a part of our family, and will bring that approach and belief with me into your homes. In the past 10 years I have helped raise 4 dogs and 4 cats, as well as caring for an elderly dog requiring special care. I hold a passion for animal safety and care, and believe that will show in my work. In our household I am an active participant in pet care. Typically I am involved in feeding both cats and dogs, taking dogs outside as needed, helping clean litter boxes as needed, etc; most often on a daily basis. In addition to the typical pet care information already provided, I take great care in providing a safe and fun environment for our pets. That includes playing with both the dogs and cats, taking our dogs on walks, etc. Overtime, our household has gotten to where we are now with 3 dogs and 4 cats total. I’ve come to learn and appreciate all of their individual quirks and personalities, and that only helps me care for them better. I look forward to meeting and getting to know your pets as well!
About: I've been dog sitting since I was 12 years old and have been around dogs my entire life. While I've never owned my own dog, I initially watched my cousin's dogs when they were out of town, but eventually started watching dogs for family friends and within the last 10 years watched my friend's dogs when they've been out of town. Most dogs I would take on walks or let them out to run around in the yard if it's fenced in (if the area isn't great for walking). I will always take care of your dog like it's my own. I work full time Monday thru Friday 8am-5pm so would be available after 5pm or on the weekends if I'm not travelling. I'm originally from Pittsburgh PA and still go back home on some weekends or will visit NYC for a day to visit friends or family. In my clients home I would either take their dogs on a walk around the block (if the area is decent enough) or can let the dogs out in the yard if it's fenced in. I'm very careful when walking dogs and always remember to pick up after them.
About: My name is Nestle & I am a certified dog trainer through animal behavior college. I have been a dog trainer for 10 years. I train all breeds even Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepards, Cane corsos etc. For training I always use positive reinforement. I also teach basic obedience as well and work with any dog with any issue. I used to work at Petco for 4 years so I am knowledgeable about nutrition, pet products, pet care etc. I also have experience in grooming. I have experience working at 2 doggie daycares as well. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter (peaceable kingdom) and walk the dogs there. I currently have 6 pets I have a sun conure, crested gecko, 2 leopard geckos & 2 dogs (Bichon & Maltese).

My goal is help others in need and save animal lives. I work part time at a family owned jewelry store and they are all pet lovers as well. I have a flexible schedule and we are usually closed for holidays. When I go to a clients house to walk their dog or just do a drop in I make sure everything is taken care of. Pups come first and I always ask the client if they need anything additional done around the house. I don’t mind cleaning or helping out. I can take care of other animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, reptiles, birds, fish, etc. before leaving a clients house I make sure all doors are locked, the pups are good & settled and the home is secure before heading out. For clients to feel comfortable I do take lots of pictures and videos of their pup and if they want to FaceTime their pup I’m fine with that too.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glendon
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Juliette! She stayed in our home for 8 days to care for our senior dog, and she was wonderful. She communicated regularly and sent great photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I felt completely confident that our older dog was loved and well cared for the entire time. When we returned home, the house was neat, tidy, and well kept. We would gladly rebook with Juliette and highly recommend her.
Heidy took very good care of my two dogs when I was gone for a week. She was trusted to take care of them in my home and did an exceptional job. She fed them gave them medication, walked them and even picked up the poop in the yard. She provided updates and photos. I would highly recommend.
Gia just stayed with our three dogs for the first time and she did a phenomenal job! She was super conscientious about following their schedule and was a great communicator. Most importantly, the dogs were healthy and happy! We will definitely book with her again.
We had a wonderful experience! She was reliable, communicative, and took amazing care of Milton for an entire week. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands, and Milton clearly had a great time with her. We would absolutely recommend her!
Karen is truly the only person who I will not only allow in my house when I'm not around but also watch my motley Crue of 3 senior, a 6 yr old and 1 yr old cats. Always a ton of communication, pics that really show they love and trust her and just above and beyond care of them. They just adore her and I can actually relax knowing they are well taken of as if I was doing it myself. That says volumes about someone coming from me because I'm in the Animal field for 22 years and I expect the care from a sitter as I give my patients!
Elizabeth was excellent with our dog Cody while we were away for 4 nights. She sent pictures, made sure he ate, went on walks with him, and played with him until they both got tired out. She was reliable and trustworthy. We would use definitely use her services again.
We have two high energy dogs, one of which has a hard time with strangers and has a lot of nervous energy- and Rachael was wonderful with both. Felt great about the way the stay went and felt happy and relieved to know she was handling things! Will definitely use her again!
I cannot speak highly enough of Hailee. This was her first time dog sitting for us, and every single thing that could have gone wrong in our house did. Our water heater broke right before she arrived and started flooding the finished basement, the plumber that fixed the water heater accidentally left the gas off so there was no heat for 24 hours, and there was a fire down the street that caused them to turn off the power to our grid. And yet, Hailee made it all a breeze. Between coordinating with our plumber, keeping the dogs calm with the commotion in the house, and keeping us in the loop. We came home to a clean house and happy & tired dogs. You would have never known that it was a crazy week. Highly recommend if you want peace of mind & will be rebooking!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glendon is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $55 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 1,345 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 , 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.
