“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.”


About: I’ve been around animals for all of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I currently have a large friendly Bernedoodle of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger dogs, energetic puppies, daily walks, feeding schedules, and lots of playtime! I also have an animal science and equestrian background, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for animals and paying close attention to their behavior and individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure owners receive plenty of updates and photos while they’re away. As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and will always communicate clearly about my availability so they receive consistent, reliable care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure pets are secure on walks and comfortable in their environment. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing while they’re in my care. I am also Cat and Dog CPR certified in case of emergency!
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! My family dog was with us for 16 years, so I really understand how much pets are part of your family! Growing up, I also have owned many fish, hamsters, and hermit crabs. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker, working with dogs of different sizes and temperaments.In addition, I volunteered at a children’s farmstead where I helped care for other animals including goats, and I learned how to adapt in different situations. I genuinely love being around animals! I am good with both energetic dogs who need a good walk and more gentle or older dogs who just want consistency and companionship. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved. I’m currently a PA student, so pet care fits really well into my routine as a way to get my cuddle fix and/or get outside, stay active, and take a break from studying. I love going on walks (especially with a podcast), so your dog will get exercise and a happy walking partner. For those who need drop-in care, I can't wait to see their smiling face, and will try to help out however I can! I’m typically available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays after the work day (currently in clinical rotations). I also have more flexibility on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take time to understand your pet's routine, personality, and any specific needs before starting. In your home, I’m respectful, dependable, and focused on making your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. And you can expect lots of updates and cute photos along the way
“Talia was a godsend! Our two boxers immediately liked her. Her calm demeanor made them feel like they’d known her forever. She kept in communication with us and made us feel extremely comfortable with her. It’s a blessing to have someone you can count on. We’ll be using Talia again!”

“Emily and Taylor were fantastic!! We searched for some time to find the perfect match to come and house sit/dog sit for our German Shepherds and now we have found it with them!!! We have one that is a senior and one that can be anxious- so it has to be a good fit all the way around- they came out and solid two visits prior to the actual weekend house sit. They showed up on time for the visit; communicated throughout the weekend; sent us pictures; and asked questions for clarification before the visit and during if needed. Their personalities are great for our dogs who warmed up to them ASAP; they took fantastic care of them as well as of our house. We will continue to use them in the future and highly recommend them to others.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since childhood, including a Pit Bull, a Boston Terrier, and my 3-year-old Boxer. I have also cared for a senior dog who needed medication and extra reassurance during fireworks, and I comfort my own Boxer through his fear of fireworks as well. I’m patient and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and needs. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, medication schedules, and care preferences while maintaining clear communication and providing regular updates. I am a college student on a nursing pathway, and my class schedule leaves me with flexible time for pet care. My best availability is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons, as well as weekends. I can also accept selected visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays around my morning classes and evening lab schedule. I keep an organized calendar, so I will only accept bookings when I can give your dog reliable, unrushed attention. I prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and normal routine. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and household rules; keep dogs securely leashed outdoors; provide fresh water; and send regular updates. I have a 3-year-old Boxer and have previously dog-sat, so I understand the importance of patience, exercise, affection, and watching for changes in behavior. My Boxer currently lives with my family in another city, so there would not be another dog present with me at college. As a nursing-pathway student, I am responsible, attentive, and comfortable following detailed care and safety instructions.
“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!”

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!

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.

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 .

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.
