“Asha was absolutely wonderful with our big guy, Ollie. She provided detailed updates, took care of him when he was scared during holiday fireworks, and walked him in between some pretty intense weather events. We felt totally comfortable on vacation knowing that Asha was there!”
“again, Haley took wonderful care of our pup, Kizzie. We’re especially grateful for her flexibility, as our travel schedule can sometimes be a bit unpredictable . She keeps us updated with photos and always reaches out if she has any questions or needs clarification on care. Thanks Haley! You’re the best!”
About: I have cared for dogs over 25 years. I have taught my children how to care for and love dogs. Although, we currently do not own any pets- we put our love on your pets. I work from home 5 days per week until 2pm. The children are all home by 5pm when they can walk, feed and play with pets together. I will only care for your dog in my home. When I am home I walk, feed and allow playtime for your dog. We always have fun!!! I ask that your fur baby is caged trained and shots are up to date.
“Kayla was an amazing sitter for Asja during my time away! I am very particular about my dog and can normally gauge from the meet and greet if the sitter is a good fit. The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for almost a week and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my Asja. I highly recommend Kayla and plan to use her for future sittings.”
“Micaela was amazing! She responded to a last minute booking and was very communicative the whole time. She sent pictures and asked questions and my pup loved her! Will definitely book again!”
“Would absolutely recommend Tristen to dogsit in your home! Tristen was very patient with learning about my pup's quirks and made me feel comfortable that his needs would be met while we were away. Tristen was an excellent communicator throughout and we got some wonderful update pictures of our dog that are frameworthy! My dog was loving life. Tristen also took care of our plants as requested. Much appreciated. Thank you so much Tristen.”
“Jessica came in clutch when another dog sitter fell through only a few days from me leaving town. She was very flexible, accommodating, and took great care of my best friend. Her generosity and help ensured I was able to get home to my family for a few days during Christmas. She was very responsive and helped make a stressful situation less stressful. I would definitely recommend Jessica.”
“What can I say? I would give ten stars if possible! Lauren is the BEST! I relied on all of the reviews on Rover and I was so glad that I did. Our dog is a rescue and while he is sweet, he can be quirky at times so we wanted someone that understood quirky dogs. We hadn't left him in over two years because our sitter moved away and because our other dog, his sidekick, recently passed away from old age. Finding Lauren was a godsend. She was very communicative, amazing with Teddy, and the house was cleaner than we left it! We are so appreciative of her and the amazing job she did for us. We went away knowing our boy and our house were in excellent care and we didn't have to worry. The only downside is we think Teddy misses her more than he ever missed us, LOL! He adored her. We adore her too! Teddy has a new best friend and her name is Lauren. Thanks so much!!!”
“Amber was awesome! Watched my home, dog, and two cats for 10 days while I was out of the country. She did an excellent job communicating, and sent great pictures of the pets every day. House and pets were well taken care of, I would definitely hire her again.”
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of different types of pets over the last 6 years. I would say I specialize in dogs of all kinds but not limited to just dogs! I’m currently in my offseason as a professional athlete. I’ve always had a love for pets so I enjoy meeting and becoming familiar with new animals! I grew up with several pets but as I’ve gotten older haven’t had the privilege of having my own YET so this would be the next best thing for me. I have a fenced in front and back yard. No other animals that can be an issue for your animal. I have a mostly free schedule so my care and attention can go to your pet.
“Alex stayed at our home & dogsat our energetic, 3-year-old pit bull. Our dog felt very comfortable with him & enjoyed being with her new friend. He sent photos and updated us regularly, and was a gracious and thoughtful guest. You can tell Alex loves animals & cares about their overall well-being. We wouldn’t hesitate asking him to dogsit again. Just a great person & dog lover!”
About: What sets me apart is over 11 years of personal pet care experience and 2 years professional care across every stage of a dog's life. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs, bringing deep patience for slower-paced routines, mobility support, and medication management. On the puppy side, I love reinforcing consistent habits—from potty training schedules to positive leash manners and safe play. Above all, I’m organized, dependable, and keep you connected with regular photo updates and notes so you never have to worry while you’re away. While I work full-time Monday through Friday, my weekends are completely dedicated to pet care! Whether you're heading out for a weekend getaway, taking a day trip, or just need an extra hand with longer walks, playtime, or drop-in visits, I have open, flexible availability from Friday evening through Sunday night. Because I reserve my weekends specifically for pets, your dog gets my undivided attention, companionship, and care without rushing. I believe pets are happiest and least stressed in their own familiar environment, which is why I provide care right in your home and neighborhood. For house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect while giving your dog full weekend companionship, sticking strictly to their feeding, medication, and sleep routines. For dog walking, safety always comes first—I tailor the route and pace to their age and energy, keep walks attentive and low-stress, and make sure they’re hydrated and settled before leaving. Above all, I keep you looped in with regular updates and photos so you can relax completely while you’re away.
“We are a repeat client of Connie for our two doggies, Atlas and Luna. Connie is very professional and our pups have taken a huge liking to Connie despite their shy and quirky nature. Luna loves Connie despite Luna being very timid around new people. Atlas also really enjoys her company. Connie sent daily updates and photos. We trust her with our pups and our house. We will continue to use her! Thanks, Connie!”
“Very happy with Nia—very responsive and kept me supplied with pix so I could see my little buddy while I was away. Left house spotless and pup well cared for. Will definitely book again if available!”
“Rachel took wonderful care of our dog and our home while we were away for 10 days. Our dog is happy and our home super clean and she took care of all of our plants and mail! I highly recommend Rachel!”
“Shaina was a wonderful caregiver for our boys! She kept in touch with us the entire time we were away, we love seeing pictures of them playing & napping. The boys like having someone in the house while we are gone and did a great job keeping them company too.”
“Kristina is an EXCELLENT, caring, trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. We are quite neurotic about our pups, and it’s been a while since we have had to use a sitter. We were so worried about them! They are both hounds so they’re “runners” and one is extremely shy, fearful of loud sounds, and anxious. Kristina provided us true peace of mind! She sent lots of photos the entire time, and told us cute stories of their antics throughout each day. I highly recommend Kristina. You should stop at her name and book her now! She’s wonderful!”
“Corinne was great with my three cats. Two of them are very affectionate and need a lot of love. The third is really shy. Cornnie spent a lot of time with the needy ones and had calm energy for the shy one. My shy cat actually ended up headbutting her by the end of the week and he has never done that with a sitter before! We will be booking with Cornnie again.”

Chandler is awesome and my dog absolutely loved her! My dog was totally comfortable and happy while I was gone even though he often gets separation anxiety. It was great to have the peace of mind that he was well cared for! I also got plenty of picture and video updates :)
Asha was absolutely wonderful with our big guy, Ollie. She provided detailed updates, took care of him when he was scared during holiday fireworks, and walked him in between some pretty intense weather events. We felt totally comfortable on vacation knowing that Asha was there!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glenn Dale is $78 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $89 per night.

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 Glenn Dale 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 Glenn Dale 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 Glenn Dale 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.
