“Great service and very responsive before during and after. Always kept us updated to date and respectful of our time and home. Kept us informed with our pets and cared for them as if they were her own. Highly recommend”
“I had a wonderful experience! I particularly like that I received so many pictures. They went above and beyond and truly loved my dogs like my own. One of my dogs is anxious and they knew exactly how to handle that. I was able to not worry on vacation because of the care I received.”
“Bri was fantastic! She did such a great job with my dogs. I loved the daily updates, and I felt so comfortable having her stay at my house. Our dogs had a great week with her!”
“Katelyn did a great job watching our animals, and I was happy that our shy Great Dane warmed up to her. I like Katelyn’s honesty and conscientious attitude. Thank you Katelyn!”
“Elayna was so amazing!! During the pre-meeting, she came prepared with great questions. She kept us updated and sent us great pictures of our happy puppy over the weekend. We will definitely be requesting her services in the near future!”
“Amber did a fantastic job caring for all of our animals while we were out of town! She was very communicative, providing regular updates and sending pictures, and was a wonderful house guest, leaving everything orderly and clean! Our animals all seemed very comfortable with her, including our dog who has some behavioral issues. She's a very capable sitter and we definitely plan to have her watch our pets again in the future!”
“Kennedy was awesome. She was there for us when we had to book last minute because the person who was supposed to watch our dog bailed unexpectedly. She was receptive, considerate, kind, and communicative. I should mention that our baby is an English Bulldog. Kennedy understands the different needs of brachiocephalic breeds. And she was able to go that extra mile for us to properly care for our fur baby!”
“Kacy is wonderful with our shy and quirky dog! She provides regular pictures and updates about how things are going, so I never worry. She also takes great care of our home while we're away.”
“Mamie was a great sitter and I will rebook with her next time we are in need of someone to watch our pets. She checked in at least twice each day with updates and photos, took our dog for daily walks, and gave our pets the care they needed while we were away. I would recommend booking with Mamie to care for your pets.”
“Mariah was awesome! She sent me pictures of my pups daily. I felt so confident they were in good hands! She left my house clean. Like she was not even there. Thanks so much Mariah!!”
“Briann was absolutely great! She watched boomer overnight at my house for a few days. Everything went great she took very good care of him. Sent pictures and texted back quickly. Even got him to cuddle with her and that’s a feat!”
“Our experience with Sydney was great from start to finish. She took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout. When we got home, our younger pup kept looking around for her, which really says it all about how comfortable and happy the girls felt. We came back to two relaxed dogs and couldn’t be more grateful. We’d gladly book again and recommend their services.”
“Obi can be anxious but he was well cared for. Plenty of communication and updates, lots of play time, and he made a new dog friend with Astrid! 10/10 will rebook with Richard!”
“Cherry was patient with Mo the Great Dane, who was shy and bashful the first day. Cherry made sure the cat and dog were cared for, took care of the house (including putting a bucket under a drip) and had good communication. Thank you Cherry!”
About: I have two dogs of my own. One is a puppy and one is an older dog so I understand all needs for every age range. Have been pet sitting for a couple years in my community I am currently working part time and will be able to give your pets the time and attention they need. My schedule is very flexible. Your pets safety and comfort is my priority. I am willing to walk your pets and stay to their schedule. I can also keep you updated with photos of your pets while away for your peace of mind.
“This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.”
“Rachel was a wonderful in-home dog sitter. In addition to being a perfect house guest, she was so kind and caring to my senior pup. She was communicative and left everything in perfect order. Ziggy says he would highly recommend her and would give her 6 stars if he could!”
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”

Staphanie watched my 2 dogs and my cat while housesiitting my residence. She handled the job beautifully and professionally. She kept intouch during her stay ro provide me day-to-day updates on how the pets were handling the transition. I would certainly use her again.
I had a wonderful experience! I particularly like that I received so many pictures. They went above and beyond and truly loved my dogs like my own. One of my dogs is anxious and they knew exactly how to handle that. I was able to not worry on vacation because of the care I received.
Hannah did a fantastic job taking care of our Boston Terrier and our house (and plants!) while we were gone for two weeks. She kept us informed everyday. He gets very anxious on walks, but she even got him out for a couple walks and gave us some tips on how to make walks more enjoyable for him. We would definitely recommend Hannah!
Tanner was the best sitter we've ever had. We've used Rover a few times, and we've never gotten this lucky. We explained to Tanner that we've had some less-than-ideal experiences before, so we explained what we were looking for to see if you could meet our needs. Without hesitation, he said yes. We never once had to worry that Gus was being taken care of. We got videos and photos showing Tanner and Gus having a great time together. We honestly were a little worried that Gus wouldn't want us to come back! On top of that, we had a lot of packages being delivered and one big one that needed to be signed for, and Tanner took care of all of that. Gus was reactive to the doorbell, so Tanner even chased down the delivery driver to get the package that Gus kept him from. The real cherry on top. We came home to framed photos of our boy during Tanner's stay with him—such a sweet and thoughtful gift to leave us. We will be using Tanner for all our dog/house-sitting needs going forward.

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 Glenfield 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 Glenfield 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Glenfield 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.
