“Jordan was a fantastic sitter and care-taker for my girls. Plenty of walks, love, and snuggles. I came home and it was as if I never left - with the exception that I think my girls were maybe a little sad that the nice snuggly lady had left! Will definitely hire again and would recommend to anyone!”
“Melissa was amazing! Our cat has been really picky with food and Melissa went out of her way to try different options to make sure she ate. When we came home, we honestly think our cat was disappointed it was us and not Melissa, lol. The house was in beautiful shape, and we never once felt nervous about being away from home. THANK YOU!!”
“Abbey is a gem! We were lucky to be able to snag her for a weekend house sitting situation at the very last minute. Abbey is professional, kind and kept us posted about our pup the entire time with lots of pic and text updates. Really happy with her and would happily make her a regular sitter/walker for our dog.”
“Lauren took great care of our dog and cat! We have an indoor/ outdoor cat, and a dog with epilepsy, and Lauren handled both with ease and took great care of our home as well. She was communicative and sent photos. Gave us good peace of mind. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Jacquelin was very easy going we had her watch our dog and her cousin the night of our wedding. I know our house wasn’t the most organized but she had no problem, took them on walks and made sure they had a fun time. Thank you!”
About: I have decades of experience around cats and dogs - in the home and with extended family pets, and then started pet care for others as a teen. Through my teens and 20s I consistently dog sat, did scheduled walks out of others’ homes, or cat play/feed visits. I’ve loved each and every pet: from Great Dane siblings to cats that rule the house and play it cool. I grew up with cats and have long term cared for a Vizsla dog beloved to me, as my own. I have experience with animals that do not get along with other animals, or take a while to get used to humans (I’ve always had an affinity for these guys and allowed them the space and time to grow comfortable with me). I live in Portland, OR but am from the Hudson Valley and back in the area to be closer to my father who is on hospice with a terminal illness. I am reactivating my Rover profile because I am working from my laptop some hours a week here and there (I choose the hours) and spending some time with my father each week. All of my days are flexible and I’d be open to arrangements based on need. An animal to hang with and care for would be really lovely at this time. My days are all flexible. I make my own hours at work and am only working 8-16 hours a week due to being on intermittent FMLA. Several days a week I would be out of the house for portions during the day to spend time with my father in Fishkill, NY. Based on directive and to minimally disrupt their routines and comforts. I adapt easily and I find I have a good energy for animals to adapt to being around me—not forcing anything and just letting them lead the way in terms of their comfort level.
About: I have experience with being around animals since I’ve been 5 years old. I have two dogs of my own and three cats as well. I will make sure the animals are comfortable, loved and taken care of properly. I am patient, caring, and have high energy. I am big on play time and walks and making sure they get their exercise for the day. I have walked dogs before and also provided in house care for several of my neighbors and close family friends. I really do enjoy being around animals and find it very relaxing. You can trust that when you are away for vacations, emergencies or just need day to day drop ins, your animals will be taken care of. So, don’t worry! On a daily basis I am always making sure my animals are fed, getting play time in, cuddles and more! They are so important to me! Making sure my pets always have water and their litter box is clean on a daily basis. I always ensure they get little extra treats throughout the day as well as cuddles!
About: I’ve been working with dogs for the past ten years, up to this date. Currently work at a boarding resort, and pet sit on the side. I can confidently administer any medications, including insulin. Very skilled in dog behavior. Willing to work with skittish/fearful/“difficult” dogs. Willing to bike alongside pups who need to run if interested. I currently work for a boarding and daycare facility; our lunch breaks are usually around 12-3. Looking to help walk pups in between then and again after 6:30pm if needed. I am great at following instructions, and safety is my biggest priority. I take my time gaining a dogs trust, and strive for maximum comfort in an already stressful situation.
“Iliana took great care of our fur babies while we were away for the week. 2 of our 3 pups had to take medication and Iliana was very helpful in making sure they were administered as needed. I also received updates and photos during our time away, assuring they were having fun and being well taken care of. We came back home to happy pets!”
About: Hi, I’m Rachel! I’ll care for your loved one as if they were my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your dog feels like part of the family. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can play safely and freely, and as an athletic caretaker I’m happy to take them on long walks or runs to burn off extra energy. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or outdoor adventures, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need. Please let me know of any special considerations during the visit. I will ensure and guarantee that your loved one is comfortable and has unlimited pets and snuggles while you are away.
“Jason was fantastic with my pups. He was aware of how to interact with them, seemed to enjoy walking them, feed them as directed and walked them as requested. I am very happy and pups seem to be also.”
“Elena was an absolute godsend for our pets!!! She came over a few days before she housesit - and the dogs were nervous at first, but she sat on the floor with them and waited until they were comfortable - and basically, she's the dog whisperer. When she came for the housesit, the dogs recognized her and were excited to see her. She sent pictures and let us know how they were doing the perfect amount, and the pictures she sent were some of my favorites that I have of them now! I didn't worry at all while we were away, and that is 100% thanks to Elena. Her kindness, patience, and flexibility, among a million other amazing qualities, make Elena the only person I would ever want to housesit for us in the future!”
About: I am the go-to pet sitter for my family, friends and neighbors. I am here to help make your pet comfortable and happy when you are out of the house. I look forward to meeting your loved one 🐾 I’m currently in the process of applying to nursing jobs. I am temporarily looking to pet sit to make money as I wait landing a nursing job. What works best for me is getting to know the preferred routine already established by the pet and their owner, in order to best accommodate them!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats from an early age. I grew up with many cats with various needs so I’m well experienced in that area. I currently have a great Pyrenees/ German Shepherd dog named Scooby. I’ve taken care of neighbors’ and family members’ pets since high school so I’m familiar with many different breeds. I’m currently part-time but with a flexible schedule to care of your pets. Please reach out to me with any questions in regard to scheduling and I will try to accommodate! I have a giant (114 lbs) dog so I am comfortable with larger and can handle ones that tend to pull. I am comfortable with strict feeding schedules/dietary restrictions if that’s what your pet needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, I have owned and cared for multiple breeds of dogs and cats, big and small, and been a pet sitter for friends and family on and off for the last 10 years. As a result of my experience as a pet parent and sitter I am very comfortable with most breeds. I also have limited experience training full grown dogs as well as puppies. I am available for walks, check-ins, or pet sitting every day. I am also available for boarding on a case by case basis. My work schedule allows me to be present for most of the day, so I can remain attentive and take plenty of walk and play breaks. During the times that I am gone I am able to crate them if that is your preference or they can have free access to the main part of the house and I will check in on them regularly through the doggie cams. I am able to dog sit in your home as well as in my own home, which has a large amount of indoor space that they can roam around in, as well as a partially fenced back yard that they can play in on a long leash with my supervision. I have plenty of time for walks and play breaks during the day. And during the few hours a day that I am out of the house, they can be crated, or they can roam around the main part of the house. I check in on them every half hour through the doggy cams set up in the house. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and if necessary, providing medication on the schedule and in the manner that you prefer.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs almost my entire life. I’ve taking care of family and neighbors dogs and it’s the best part of my day! Im currently working part time and I have plenty of extra time to take care of someone dog(s) for them. I want to help others out and this is something I would really enjoy doing! I have a dog and I walk him on nice days in my neighborhood after work and I play with him out in my back yard with a few of his favorite toys so he gets exercise.
About: Hi there! My name is Kendra. I come with 12+ years of veterinary technician experience. I currently work as a CVT in a veterinary ICU. I am happy to provide care to pets who may need additional TLC, such as senior or special needs pets. Outside of work, I have two cats (Autumn & Creme Brulee) and two dogs. Violet is my mini doodle who I adopted after she was found to have a swallowing disorder, and Emmie Lou is my Australian Shepherd who loves to live her life on the wild side. We love going for walks, long hikes, and various training events like lure courses, agility and dock diving. Both of my girls have earned their CGC (Canine Good Citizens) among other ribbons and sport titles. Loving animals is my whole life and I can't wait to love your fur babies too! 💗 I am available to do drop-in visits (short walks, feeding, play time, medication administration, etc.), or longer walks/hikes for those that may need the extra exercise. I am also available for house sitting upon request. I schedule pet care on my days off from my full-time job. I can also provide house sitting upon request (availability will not routinely be posted for this so feel free to send me a message!). Unfortunately, due to renting I cannot provide pet care in my own home. I can do drop-in visits or longer term house sitting in your home, which I would prefer anyway as I feel pets are usually the most comfortable in their own homes. When walking any dogs outside of a fenced in yard, I will always implement the use of double leashes for added safety.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Glenham is $70
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenham
This was our family’s first time using Rover for our Golden, Goat, and we really wanted him to be able to stay comfortable in his own home while we were away. Jen was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond with her communication and care, giving us complete peace of mind and allowing us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Goat was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. We’re so grateful for Jen and couldn’t recommend her more!
So grateful for Sabrina and her excellent care for my dog Jaxon. She went above and beyond taking him to the park for a dip in the creek during the heatwave. Sabrina communicated throughout her entire stay even sharing cute photos, I knew they were having a wonderful time together which put me totally at ease while we were away. Definitely book Sabrina for the kindest and most genuine care for your best friend, I will certainly be using her services again! Thank you Sabrina, Jax already misses you!
Amanda is an excellent communicator and was a perfect match for us and our (usually) shy doggy who took to her right away! She went above and beyond, keeping me updated and reassured with all the cute moments while I was out of town for a week. Cricket was comfortable with her so quickly, and it was so great to see the genuine joy she took in our funny gal. Would highly recommend her!
We are over the moon happy with our experience with Bridget!!! She went above and beyond what we expected. Our one cat doesn't take to many people and within 3 days, she became friends with Bridget. We came home and I didn't have to do a thing! She also provided daily pictures and videos. I highly recommend her!

The average cost of House Sitting in Glenham is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $88 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.

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 Glenham 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 Glenham 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 Glenham 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glenham. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
