“Regina did a great job taking care of our elder dog and two kittens. It was a huge relief to know that they were all being cared for and loved on while we were away from home. I got pics and updates every day and came home to three very contented and relaxed pets. It was clear they had all been very comfortable with Regina. She left my place perfectly neat, and was easy to communicate with throughout. I would highly recommend her services and will definitely be hiring her again whenever we have need and she is available.”
“Joslyn took such great care of our dog, Filbert, while my husband and I were out of town. She and Fil had lots of great adventures while we were away and I loved seeing the photo updates she shared. I know Fil had the best time!”
“Femke was the best! She clicked with Fernet immediately and from the photos she sent, he spent most of our trip on her lap :). Femke was incredibly communicative and made sure we had daily updates with photos and videos of thier adventures. Would definitely book again!”
“Nicole took amazing care of our two kitties over a holiday week! They are pretty shy cats but they warmed to Nicole quickly. It was such a relief knowing they were comfy and happy. Would highly recommend Nicole as a sitter and hope to book her again in the future!”
“I had a quick, unplanned trip to the East Coast and needed a house sitter for Willy. Lauren was prompt to respond when I reached out to her. My dog is a shy senior who takes meds and supplements with his meals. He's also quite active and requires a couple of long walks each day. Lauren took excellent care of Willy and even made him dinner when he ran out of food. It was comforting to know Willy was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Lauren’s services and plan to contact her for future trips.”
“Alexandra was an amazing cat sitter! She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent plenty of pictures, and stayed in touch the entire time. My cat was happy and well cared for, and the house was left spotless. Highly recommend her!”
“This was the first time Kristin sat with my dog Lucy, who is a rescue initially mistrusting of "new people." To my relief, after the initial encounter, Lucy was OK with Kristin and I felt good about leaving them together for a short weekend. Kristin has a sweet, easy-going temperament that would help any pet get comfortable. She took good care of Lucy as well as my home and sent me pictures and reports about their walks. I definitely recommend Kristin.”
“Caroline was a wonderful communicator and took such great care of our house and our fiesty yet delicate dachshund Lucy! This was our first time using a new sitter in several years after having the same sitter for many years prior who unfortunately moved further away, so I was very nervous to try someone new - Caroline eased all my nerves after day 1 with her great, thorough updates, and we already have her booked for our next trip this month!”
“Jessica was amazing with our cat, dog, and gecko! We have a sassy cat and Jessica knew how to give her space and pets on her own terms. Our house was spotless and pets were happy when we returned. We highly recommend Jessica.”
“Raquel is a dream! She is kind, generous, and prompt; our pup loved her. I highly recommend calling on Raquel, especially when you have pets with separation anxiety. Thanks for caring for our boy!”
“Joe dog sat with us for 4 days at our home. We met him up earlier to make sure he and Nala were a good fit. Throughout our trip, he was kind, reliable, and responsive. We are so happy to have had him. Nala did great with him!”
“Tasherit took great care of Molly, checked in regularly, is super kind and polite and such a pleasure to interact with. I really appreciated coming back home to a clean and tidy home - she left it cleaner than she found it ❤️”
“Brooke took excellent care of my dog, Reese, at my home while I was away for a long weekend. She took her out for several long walks so she was happily tired out at the end of the day. Brooke followed the directions/ information about Reese that we had discussed. The house looked great- the same as when I had left. I highly recommend Brooke to take care of your dog!”
“Loretta was lovely and especially lovely with Louisa. We felt very comfortable with leaving our old girl with her for the first time and am sure there will be many more. Thanks Loretta!”
“Nicole did a great job at house/pet sitting. She was responsive, respectful, and made the whole process super smooth. Came home to a clean house and a happy pup. Thanks Nicole!”
“Leslie was great. She was a good communicator before the sit and my dog loved her. She stayed after I got home to let me know how my dog was. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Laura took great care of our senior pup, Ginger, while we were away for the day. She gave us consistent updates from walks and meals, and we returned to a contented pup.”
“Shihua took exceptional care of my two pups, paying close attention to their medications and routines. She was an excellent communicator, sending frequent updates and videos that made me feel connected and reassured. I also came home to a spotless house. I’m so grateful, and would absolutely trust her with our dogs and home again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenridge
Our rescue dog, Mister Coco, absolutely fell in love with Tasherit during her 10-day stay! He was so well cared for—with walks, fun park outings, playtime, plenty of cuddles, and lots of affection—that he hardly seemed to notice we were gone. We came home to a happy, calm, and relaxed pup who had clearly been loved and well cared for the entire time we were away. Tasherit took incredible care not only of Mr .Coco, but also of our home, which was spotless when we returned. She communicated wonderfully throughout her stay, shared daily photos, and brought such a genuine, caring presence that we always felt completely at ease. I couldn't recommend Tasherit more highly. She is an empathetic, trustworthy, highly reliable & kind caregiver. We look forward to welcoming her back soon. ❤️
Margaret was absolutely wonderful with our new puppy and both of our dogs. When our vet called to say our puppy needed medication, she handled everything with care and made sure he was well taken care of. She is dependable, attentive, and clearly treats our dogs with care. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have someone we can rely on. We highly recommend her!
Hadleigh was wonderful with my dog Duke, he’s a senior pup with a big personality. She got to know his walks, schedules, and all the folks he runs into in the neighborhood and kept me updated throughout. Coming home Duke was very happy and relaxed and she helped me out a ton by putting the roomba back on the charger so my house wouldnt be overrun by hair. I’ll definitely be using her again on my future trips!
Brooke is a wonderful sitter! This is her second time sitting for our two dogs and our anxious pup is already is warming to her! Our dogs are very different and she is very attentive to their individual personalities and needs. We’ll definitely be booking Brooke again!
Dionie is an absolute rockstar of a dog sitter. Any dog owner who travels knows how important it is to feel comfortable with who’s watching your pet, and Dionie did just that. He was very prompt with giving us updates throughout the day about when our pup went outside how he was eating and how he was doing, and was very clear about when he would and would not be at the house. Without a doubt, we will be reaching back out to Dionie for future needs!
I had a great experience with Michael! He was reliable, and took excellent care of Kona. He kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. Kona was well cared for and happy. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter, and I would definitely book with him again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Glenridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glenridge on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,047 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glenridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Glenridge 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 Glenridge 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 Glenridge 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.

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.
