“Pamela is amazing with dogs. Caring, compassionate, loving and provides excellent care. You really can’t ask for a better care giver for furry family! Would recommend hands down and plan to rehire.”
“Yeji did a great job taking care of Athena and was very patient with her while she was feeling a little nervous. She kept us updated throughout her visits, sent plenty of photos, and made sure Athena was comfortable and well cared for!”
“Yutong did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 Shiba Inu boys while we were out of town for a couple of days. He was incredibly responsive, sent loads of photos and videos, and made us feel very sure that our dogs were happy and well cared for. We will certainly be reaching out to him again to take care of our dogs!”
“Lin has been an amazing help for us. She goes above and beyond! She provides detailed insight into her visit and gives us great tips to help us train our puppy. Our puppy loves his time with her and will definitely be using Lin again! Highly recommend.”
About: I'm a certified cat lady with a great understanding and love of our doggo friends too. 10+ years of experience living with and caring for dogs and cats. Our dogs always seek me out for walks because they find walks with me so fun! I have great skill dealing with special needs pets: administering medications (like giving my diabetic cat insulin shots), and reading pet body language to meet their comfort needs. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to check in and play with your pups and/or kitties! I'm available on weekends at 11am or later. Since our home is already full of cats and a dog, I am only offering services at clients homes or dog walking at this time. I will start each session by patiently gaining trust with your pet, with gentle greetings and allowing them to get comfortable first. Please include any special needs for pet care when reaching out.
About: I love dogs and they seem to love me...cats, too! I am currently looking for pet sitting clients, in my home or the client's home. I live on a peaceful, private and safe property, bordered by the woods and a lake in Brookeville. I have cared for my own pets for most of my life and have also worked as a dog walker and dog hander at a dog daycare center. I have also fostered and rescued dogs and cats. I have an extensive background in unrelated fields, such as music, graphics/video, real estate, property management and working as a home healthcare aide. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Best ~ Mark I can always put my pet clients and visitors first. Outside of working with animals, I work on music, home renovations, read, etc. My home is a large garage that I converted into a guest house with a recording studio. The house where I have pet guests is a private home near the woods. I have over 2 acres where I can walk dogs, plus 80 acres of woods behind the house for hikes. I have security cameras at the property. There is only one neighbor nearby and it is a very quiet and peaceful area. I am completely trustworthy as far as caring for client's pets. I have worked as a guitar teacher and pet handler, various other jobs that required background checks.
“Taresse did the most wonderful job taking care of my cats this past weekend ! My cats were happy and everything looked very tidy and taken care of- highly recommend Taresse for multiple cats families. 😻😻”
About: Dogs have been in my life since I was 12 years old. I have had 4 dogs throughout that time. I have experience with both senior dogs and high-energy younger dogs. I am more used to smaller dogs, but one of my current 2 dogs is a 54lb pitt-bull, the other one is a 15lb pug mix. I also used to take care of a 70lb standard poodle for a family I was a nanny for. I am currently unemployed, so I have open availability. I am working on my master´s degree and would like to use this extra time to save a little money since I just got married. I offer dog walking and house sitting services. I can also play with them and provide a safe and comfortable envoinment. I will adapt to whatever specific needs your pets may have.
“We are so lucky to have been connected with Jennifer! She’s a caring and dedicated pet companion and we have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands while we are away. Our eldest cat can be a handful and she is very understanding of that. In addition, she’s great at communication. This was our third vacation having her as a sitter and we have a fourth one booked for the near future.”
About: I’ve always been the go-to person for family and friends when it comes to caring for their pets, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for, whether that’s going for a long walk, playing, or just keeping them company. What sets me apart is the way I treat every pet like my own — I pay attention to their routines, personalities, and little quirks so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. As a student with a part-time job, I keep a balanced schedule that still gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m usually available mornings, evenings, and weekends, which works great for walks, drop-ins, or just spending extra time with pets. I make sure to plan ahead so their care always comes first. I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I keep their environment comfortable, clean, and secure. I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to walks, and I always pay attention to details like keeping doors and gates shut. Most importantly, I give each pet the same patience and love I give my own, so you can trust they’re in good hands.
“Jasmine was great!! She took amazing care of our two cats while we were out of town. She’s super communicative, takes great photos, and really went the extra mile to keep the cat stuff (food/water bowls and litter boxes) clean. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Geny was dependable, dedicated and very informative while caring for my dogs. She encountered several hiccups which she responsibly worked to correct and my dogs, one of whom is very skittish, love her!”
About: I love training dogs bodies and minds through exercise and mental stimulation. I’ve owned, walked and was a pet sitter for a variety of dogs. I’ve most recently owned/trained a puppy (he is now almost one). I’m currently working part-time and have a somewhat flexible schedule. Because of this, I will have plenty of time to love on and care for your pup! I am open to walking your dog on a leash, playing with it in your yard, or taking it to the local off-leash dog park.
“Brooke took care of our cat Garfield while we attended our son's wedding in Virginia; it's been several years since we had a sitter. No worries. Brooke arrived on time, did everything we asked, and texted us a picture/update at each visit. She is now Garfield's new friend. Highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs.”
“Lingli was wonderful with our two senior dogs! She was great with making sure they felt comfortable and she sent the cutest pictures! We were able to not worry while we were away!”
About: I have had a dog almost my entire life. We had dogs in our family growing up and I’d always be the go to person for pet care. I love all animals and actually used to want to be a vet. We recently lost our dog due to an abrupt illness. My heart was shattered and I miss having a dog in my life. She was such an important part of my life! I am a nurse and work weekends and nights as we also have 3 kids. I am home and able to care for your dog weekdays. My kids and new pup love to go for walks also and be with dogs. I’m available for drop ins or walks during the week, maybe some weekends also. I am an active person and love dogs so I’m always looking for a reason to go for a long walk! I often bring my kids but he loves dogs and being outside and sits great in a stroller on walks. I am a firm believer in using leashes on walks and only using fenced areas outside. I am also comfortable with harnesses. We also respect if dogs are allowed on furniture or not.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glenelg
Ryan is amazing. Conscientious, attentive, caring, highly communicative. Ryan spent all summer coming to our house 1 sometimes 2x a day to let our 8 week old puppy out. With ever changing rules about puppy freedom activities with our VERY energetic older golden, she always asked what she could and couldn't let them do. I would hire Ryam 100x over she is amazing. 100/10. No notes.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Glenelg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Glenelg 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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Glenelg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
