“Victoria was amazing! I can’t say enough about her! One of my dogs is really scary and he doesn’t deal with anyone, she was able to make him feel comfortable! No accidents in the house, Victoria made sure they went out on a timely schedule. Also the house was left in immaculate shape! She cleaned up behind herself and the house was just as I left it, I would definitely book her again and will be booking in the future! She made sure to send pictures and updates! I felt safe leaving my house to her! Thank you Victoria! You were amazing.”
“This is our second time having Adoni sit with our dog and cat. She is a natural with pets. Our dog took to her right away. Our very reticent cat even made an appearance. Adoni is very responsive and meticulous with scheduling. Communication is within minutes and she sends texts to let us know when she will arrive. We leave pages of directions for our finicky four footers and she willingly follows their quirks and schedules. Plus, she is just a delightful person!”
About: I have cared for many of my own pets over the years! I have a passion for helping animals, all of the pets I have owned have been rescues of some kind. I look forward to taking care of your pets and having fun with them. Most of the time we truly don’t deserve their unwavering love, but taking care of them is very important! I have experience with dogs of many sizes and breeds. I volunteer for dog walks at a local shelter every chance I get, and I look forward to playing with and taking your animals outside! I am most experienced with dogs, but love pets of all kinds. Also I think it is very important to respect the animals space and home 😊
About: Reliable pet sitting with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles. Your pet's comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique personality. Whether your companion needs energetic playtime or quiet companionship, I'll provide personalized care in a safe, loving environment. I'm currently working full-time but can schedule time with your pet after 5:00pm most weekdays and scheduled time on weekends based on availability. I'm also available to home sit for vacations, business trips, etc. When I pet sit in a client's home, my priority is providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while maintaining the pet's normal routine. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I carefully follow the owner's instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and daily activities. I ensure pets have fresh water at all times, provide meals according to their dietary needs, and monitor their appetite and overall behavior for any signs of illness or distress. Dogs receive regular walks, bathroom breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime, while cats and other pets receive enrichment, litter box or habitat cleaning, and affection based on their individual personalities and comfort levels. Safety is always a top priority. I keep doors, gates, and windows secure to prevent escapes, remove potential hazards from the pet's environment, supervise outdoor time, and follow any household rules regarding furniture, crates, or restricted areas. I also monitor pets for any changes in health or behavior and contact the owner immediately if I notice anything concerning. In the event of an emergency, I follow the owner's instructions and seek veterinary care if necessary. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean and tidy, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and leaving the home in the same condition as I found it. Throughout the stay, I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home while giving owners peace of mind that their beloved companion is receiving attentive, reliable, and compassionate care.
“Kendal did a great job with my babies!! They warmed up to her very quick. She sent plenty of pictures throughout the stay and was continuously responsive :) She left the house the same way I left it. We will definitely be booking with her again :)”
About: I’ve taken care of my pup since July 2021. July, 2022 I took care of my dad’s dog (along with my own) for 9 days. I’m on hand for my dad when he has to go out of town unexpectedly so his dog is cared for. I currently work full time. My job is hybrid, meaning I’m in an office 3 days and work remote 2. I am available most weekends and evenings the days I work from home. I live in a townhouse, so for walks I use a leash. I do also have space for crates, if your dog needs one. Due to my living space, it may be more comfortable for your pet to stay in their home.
“Peytyn took amazing care of our dogs and cat. She communicated extremely well (and sent pictures) our entire vacation. She quickly learned everything we told her about all of them. We did not have to stress any on whether they were properly being cared for. For several days, her fiancé helped care for them and he was just as amazing. So thankful for them both, but Peytyn is simply the best!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their dogs. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Just reach out whenever you need a helping hand. I am a reliable and trustworthy person and would be more than happy to make sure your pet is well taken care of at home.
“Meghan was absolutely wonderful! She came to stay with our 3 dogs for 5 days while we were away. She sent us pictures and updates at least twice a day. Our dogs loved her, and she left our home even cleaner than it was before! We highly recommend Meghan and will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I have had pets all my life and currently have 3 cats. I’ve volunteered at a dog park during high school, as well as fostering dogs. I care for my own pets by scooping their litter boxes, trimming their claws, and feeding them morning, mid-day, and night. Giving them overall care and attention. I treat all animals I come across with an abominable amount of love and respect, I will always try my best to make sure any animal is taken care of and appreciated.
“Haley was wonderful to have in my home and loving on my four legged fur baby. She consistently kept in touch with me the days she worked for me. She won’t disappoint in her care over your beloved pet.”
“Kim is a wonderful sitter, and we were very comfortable leaving our pups with her. Our dogs each have their own behavioral quirks, and she wasn’t fazed as at. She communicated really well while we were out of town and our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back. Thanks Kim!”
About: I’ve worked in vet med for 4 years and can promptly handle any type of emergency. I am comfortable medicating dogs and cats of all ages, and I can perform CPR if necessary. I have also worked at doggy daycares taking care of 100+ animals at a time. I have been pet sitting since I was in high school, and I care for each animal as my own! I am trustworthy, reliable, and very communicative with pet parents. My schedule is completely open right now! I am available to pet sit weekdays or weekends. I can do same-day bookings, but I would prefer at least one day’s notice to stay overnight. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have one senior husky, one middle-aged mutt, and one young cat in my own home. They are all healthy and on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. They are well socialized and get along with other dogs really well. I am happy to take your pet on walks if that is what they need to get their energy out as well!
About: Hey Everyone! I am a college student trying to make some 💵 this summer! I have two cute doggies I take care of everyday that I give infinite affection to, I have a 12 year old (Coco) and a 6 year old (Olive). I have dealt with dogs my whole life, so not to worry. I promise to give the same love and affection to your adorable pups! I am working part time. Monday-Sunday I can walk or drop in and care for your pups. However not every weekend I will be able to pet sit, just message me and we can rearrange something. I will make sure your dog becomes comfortable and safe with me, to give him/her lots of love and affection, and treats for being the best doggies in the world! If you have a shy doggy I can always work with him or her on feeling safe with me.
“Kylee did a wonderful job caring for our dogs while we were away. She was reliable, on time, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention. We also really appreciated that she left our home clean and tidy when she left. It's always nice to come home to happy pets and a clean house! We would absolutely book with Kylee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glenola on Rover is $29.96 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Glenola 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 Glenola 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 Glenola 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
