“Paula was reliable, communicative, and willing to take on administering oral medication for both of my cats, which I really appreciated since that can be hard to find. There was a bit of a learning curve at the start with the medication process, but she adapted quickly and was receptive to guidance. I would book Paula again for future visits. She did a great job and I’m grateful for her services.”
“Rover review She took great care of Hazy while I was away. He unfortunately developed vomiting and diarrhea during my trip, so she had to clean up after him daily and keep a close eye on him. It may have been anxiety- but nonetheless-She even brought a probiotic from home for him, which I really appreciated. I ended up adding three extra visits so she could continue monitoring him, and she was reliable and communicative throughout. I really appreciated her taking on the extra work while Hazy wasn’t feeling well.”
“We had our first drop-in meet and greet, and it was a great experience from start to finish! Punctual, friendly, and wonderful with Cleo right away. It gave us complete peace of mind, and we’re looking forward to booking future visits.”
“Please do yourself a favor and book with the best pet sitter of ALL time! Alyssa truly cares about your pets and treats them as her own. She goes above and beyond, and we’re truly grateful that we found her 😻😻”
“Alex was amazing at watching our cat for a week while we were away. She was extremely responsive and communicative and took great care of our kitty. We would definitely seek Alex’s help again!”
“Ana provided excellent care to my furry companions for nearly 2 weeks we were out of the country for my daughter’s quinceañera. They are afraid of new faces, but she was able to get them warmed up to her quickly. Her communication was above and beyond. I highly recommend her and hope she will be available for the next time we take a long vacation. Thank you Ana!”
About: I've taken care of many different dogs, I am comfortable with all breeds and ages. Ive had experience with every energetic puppies, as well as low energy older dogs, small dogs that are all over the place and loud ones. I've lived in a household with pets basically my while life, aside from dogs I have experience with cats, lizards, small animals (specifically rats and hamsters), and parrots. I am very passionate with them all, love spending time with them. My house and neighborhood is great and safe for walking pets, not many cars come through and there are not that many dogs around, so accidents would not happen. And my house is large with a lot of large empty spaces so the dog wouldnt have a chance to be destructive. Most of the time I would be available, I spend most of my time at home, and I do college online. Occasionally I might leave for a day, and in October I'm going on a trip 5-17. My house is very pet friendly, I currently have rats but they have their own room to which I usually keep the door closed. A large part of the house has a lot of empty spaces and the main living room currently doesn't have much furniture, but still a lot of space to run around. It does have stairs. Our neighborhood is a great place to walk around, not that many cars or people walk around, so there would be no accidents. Unfortunately my back/front yard is not fenced, so the dog would need to stay on a leash. I will also listen and follow all the instructions provided by you in your home, I respect other people's spaces and privacy.
“Sarah was so kind and caring. She really made an effort to befriend my timid kitties and was able to win them over by the end of the week. She kept me updated through the week and made sure to include some cute pictures. Will book again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“It happened to be raining and Lindsey still made sure that both the dogs were taken care of and set for the rest of the day. She went above and beyond in cleaning up a mess that one of the dogs had made.”
About: Ive taken care of pets from working at boarding big companies to sitting in my home for about 10 years and would love make your pet feel as close to home from my home My schedule is open to your pet 24/7 i only leave home for pick ups and drop off for kids and grocery runs but someone is always home and your pet will never be left alone! I have a fenced big yard your dog can let all there engery out and enjoy the scenic views when I walk them in my neighborhood
About: I have had Irish Wolfhounds, Goldens, Black Labs, Huskies, Frenchies, Corgis, Bichon Frisées, and others in my life and I am ready to have more! Bring it on! I am an elementary music school teacher and love to be around animals. I am free in the summer as well as before and after school hours. I leave for work around 8:20 and get home around 4:45. I live in an apartment but have a nice neighborhood with a lot of paths to walk on. When caring for pets I would like to have their crate/bed with them and toys when they sleep
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and have trained many puppies and older dogs alike. All my dogs have been rescues so I’m very familiar with dogs that have come from bad situations and dogs that are misunderstood because of their breeds. I’ve always had dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments. I’m always the first person my friends and family go to when they need some extra help with t dogs or just need someone to watch them while on vacation. I live on 10 acres which is perfect for those dogs that love off leash time but don’t get a lot, I love exploring new areas and have assisted in training dogs while in the military. I'm a stay at home wife who takes care of all our animals! I adore dogs and take mine on several walks a day around the farm, we have a creek that the dogs can swim in as well in the nicer weather. Pets are my passion and I love hosting others in my home and going out to other places to walk pets! I live on twelve acres and can offer a safe environment for dogs to safely play in, I have extra long leads so if your pup isn’t quite off leash trained they can still have an amazing experience with the long leads and all the land. I always follow whatever instructions are left for me as I know how important routines can be for a pet!
“Taresse was great with our cats when we were on vacation! I was happily surprised to see daily pictures even of our shyest, who most pet sitters never even see when they're here. That in itself spoke volumes to me. Taresse was also great to communicate with and I appreciated the COVID precautions. I will most certainly book again next time we travel.”
About: I have been dog sitting in people's homes for over 15 years. I have watched everything from dachshunds to 100+ pound dogs. I am able to take them on walks, administer medications and follow any special instructions you may have. A pet is a critical member of the family, and I always treat your dog as if it was my own. I work 100% remotely, so I will be with your dog all day long in your home. I am able to walk them, let them out, feed them etc. on any schedule you need to make them comfortable. I focus my entire schedule around your pet's needs. I follow all of the same rules you have for your pets when you are home and require a meeting before the first time I dog sit for you to meet your dog, review your expectations, their food schedules, etc. to make sure everyone is comfortable with everything so you can relax on your time away. I can also send pics of your dogs as often as you would like.
About: I absolutely love dogs and honestly think they are better than humans. I love discovering the unique personality that each dog has. I have owned dogs all my life and have taken care of countless friend's, family's, and neighbor's dogs. I have house sat many times, had dogs stay at my home for extended stays, and become the favorite person to most of my family and friend's dogs whenever I’m around them. I am home most of the time throughout the day and have the freedom to meet almost any need your dog will require. I have a 5 y.o. female golden retriever with a lot of love and energy and zero aggression. I can't think of a better way to occupy all of my free time than to spend my days entertaining your dog! I have all the time in the world to ensure that the services and quality of care that your dog deserves are met! I am available 24-7 to take care of dogs! The only commitment I have during the week is taking my kids to and from school and to their activities. Your Dog can ride shotgun! I will play with them as much as they need! I will feed your dog, go for as many walks as you need me to, take them out to go potty, and give them love and affection. I do have a crate if you would like me to crate your dog. However, I will be home the entire time and there really shouldn't ever be a need. I do have children so I do require that your dog is very good with kids. My kids are pretty calm and very nice to all animals. They love dogs almost as much as me. My Golden Retriever is high energy and very playful as well. So as long as your dog is ok with playing with other dogs then a great time will be had. I will accept any breed of dog into my home and care but I will not accept your dog if it is aggressive towards other dogs or children. I don’t care how wild and playful they are because that’s one thing I love about dogs! But if they tend to snarl and snip and assert dominance through aggression then I’m not your guy. I just want a safe environment for our pups to play.

Pet 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Glenelg is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $46 per visit. 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 16,475 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Glenelg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 93% 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.
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.
