“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.”
About: I grew up with a rescue pit bull and three rescue cats, which taught me early on how to provide gentle and compassionate care. In addition to that I've been doing professional animal visits for the last 4 years across multiple platforms, and have been loving the opportunity to meet all of these wonderful animals and families. I personally do very well with anxious or reactive animals, which need a more gentle presence around them. If your pet has any special needs, medications, or health concerns, I’m more than happy to discuss them with you. I’ll always take the time to learn what needs to be done and follow your preferred approach to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. I am committed to providing a loving home and continuing any training or scheduling already established. My goal is to make you and your pets experience as seamless as possible! This upcoming semester, Fall 2026, I currently have two openings for a weekly walker or drop-in visit routine, I'm available Monday-Wednesday 9:30am-11am, and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons between 4:00pm-6:00pm. I will also be available for drop-in visits or as needed walks, so please feel free to reach out. This upcoming semester, Fall 2026, I currently have two openings for a weekly walker or drop-in visit routine, I'm available Monday-Wednesday 9:30am-11am, and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons between 4:00pm-6:00pm. I will also be available for drop-in visits or as needed walks, so please feel free to reach out. I work from home in the Mission/Excelsior region, and go to school at CCSF, so I have a fairly flexible weekday schedule outside of Wednesdays and can often accommodate short-notice bookings. However, since I rely on public transit, I’m currently limiting services to locations within about a 30-minute bus ride from Balboa Park. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it my priority to respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I aim to create a calm, comforting environment that helps your pet feel safe and cared for while you're away. I always follow the care instructions you provide closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, or playtime routines. Above all, I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“João was a fantastic dog sitter for Ranger. He was great at the meet and great, specially for a dog like Ranger that is super social and can get easily over aroused. Super kind, professional and great at communicating with us about Ranger's needs. Attentive, thoughtful and loving.”
“Logan did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Maggie, while we were away on vacation. Maggie was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned. Logan also took great care of our home—the house was neat, clean, and in great shape when we got back. We appreciated the dependable care and would be happy to have Logan stay with Maggie again in the future!”
About: My preferred first name is Bear. I have 5+ years experience volunteering in rescue shelters with both dogs and cats and I’ve definitely developed a knack for befriending anxious/shy animals. I’ve also worked professionally as a dog bather working with dogs of all ages and sizes. I also have experience leash training dogs and training a few basic commands. I’ve done a lot of cat sitting as well (in homes with up to 11 indoor cats!). I’m currently in school pursuing a nursing degree. My summer class schedule allows me to go for walks and check ins during mornings and early afternoons. I have done a lot of pet sitting in the pet’s homes. I understand the importance of respecting my clients’ property and I always leave the property in the same condition as when I arrived, if not better. If you are a gamer, I will never mess with your save files (many past clients seem to have this concern lol).
“Monica is amazing. Our dog had some stomach issues and Monica took such great care of her, made her chicken and rice, cleaned up after her, etc. super sweet and communicative. Thank you Monica!”
“Giselle took wonderful care of Nala! I felt very comfortable leaving Nala in her care and knew she was in great hands. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and took great care of the apartment as well. Thank you!”
“Dena was a fantastic sitter! She went above and beyond to engage my high-energy puppy, was respectful of my apartment, and proactive in her communication. I'd highly recommend her!”
“We are so grateful for Tania! She came through for us (on a holiday none the less) and took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She was thoughtful and communicative and immediately put us at ease. Our dog loved her and even upon her departure he ran out to see if she was still here. We are so appreciative and look forward to booking with her again.”
“Diana was responsible, communicative and lovely to work with. My kitties were relaxed and well taken care of when I returned from my trip and my home looked great. I felt comfortable with her house sitting and will request her to come back when I’m out of town again.”
“Nora is an incredibly cool person and sitter. She house sat our two dachshunds for a week and we felt completely at ease. She did a meet and greet ahead of time to ensure it was a good fit and the dogs were familiar with her. She even went on a dog walk with us to get used to the route. Nora followed the instructions we provided, checked in with the cutest pictures, and was attentive to their eating and potty schedules. We came home to two happy puppies and the house exactly how we left it. Nora is our new go to sitter in SF. Thank you so much!”
“Maria was a wonderful petsitter for our senior dog, Heath. She took great care of him, and he was happy and healthy when we got back, which is what we care about most. We also really appreciated how she looked after our house, leaving it neat and exactly as we left it. Since we were out of cell service, Maria had to switch between our Garmin InReach, a messaging app, and regular cell service to send us updates. She managed all of this perfectly and we really appreciated her keeping us informed. Maria was a pleasure to work with, and we would be happy to have her back in the future.”
“Another 5-star review for Nessa. First, the dogs are excited to see her, which always makes me happy. She stays in communication with us throughout our trip and I can tell she is really good with our two pups. She's consistent and patient and it really puts my mind at ease when she stays with our dogs. Thank you, Nessa!”
“Kristina was amazing with our anxious pup! She stayed with her at our home and was so wonderful & communicative, always updating us with photos of our dog looking so happy & relaxed. Thank you Kristina!”
“Caroline was a great fit for my Asher. She took such good care of him and the house when I was away for a few days. I can't thank her enough! Trustworthy, responsible and caring. I will call on her again for sure!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life! Mostly as a pet owner and as ‘Auntie Katie’ to all my friends and family’s pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time and looking after them! I’m reliable, readily available, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I typically work full-time, Monday-Friday 9-5 but I’m available for weekday evening check-ins and walks! My weekends are typically free! Starting Friday evenings, I can be available take care of and play with your fur babies! 🐱🐶 I am available to come to you so your pets are not disturbed with being in a new environment. You can kick back, relax, and enjoy your mid-week evening or weekend away knowing your pets are safely in the home they are most familiar with!
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone on Rover. The whole experience was pretty easy, and fortunately, I booked with Samson. He was great to coordinate with from communications to the meet and greet, and during the sit. He really gave me peace of mind, and I returned home to a clean home and content dog.”
About: I am a life-long dog lover who has looked after the dogs in my family for years, from Australian Shepards to Shih Tzus. I began my career in childcare before transitioning to dog-care in recent years. I have experience with looking after dogs of all ages and sizes, which includes services such as feeding, walking, and daily enrichment or playtime. I am a recent USF graduate with lots of time to spare. I am available everyday, and will accept any time of day to take care of your pup. I am also available on weekends and holidays. When taking care of a pet at a client’s home, I make sure to keep the area clean and tidy for sanitary purposes. I am always sure to use a leash when going for walks or potty breaks, and I truly value feeding all dogs a clean, balanced diet. Playful activities with your canine is always special, and I enjoy playing catch or tug with toys that are available.
“Brittany was great to work with! She responded quickly and was quick to come by for a meet and greet before watching my dog. I can tell her and my dog Cookie enjoyed each other during her stay. Brittany is a true dog lover and made me one happy fur mama!”
“Jessica was super respectful of our home, took wonderful care of our high energy dog and checked in regularly, asking great questions that showed she really cared about our dog and home. Definitely the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenridge
Melissa took amazing care of our puppy all weekend on very short notice! Even though this was the first time we used Rover AND had someone we didn’t know watch our pet, we felt so confident leaving our house and our puppy in her care. She shared frequent updates and pictures through the app and we know she gave lots of love. She also left our house clean and brought in packages, which was so helpful to come home to after a trip. We will definitely be using Melissa again and would recommend her services to anyone! Thanks Melissa!
Anyone who may be hesitant to book with Rachel…. DON’T BE!!!! Rachel exceeded my expectations in every single way! My kitty Punkin was so happy with her. She even sent me a photo of him sleeping with her and snuggling in her neck, just like he does with me! Rachel stayed at our house when we went away. The house was left in good order upon our return, and she spent as much time at the house and with Punkin as we do, about half the day and all night. She reached out because he had a little bout of coughing, which happens so rarely that I never even thought to mention it to her. I really appreciated that so much. It just proved I could trust her to be very in tune with my baby boy. Rachel is the absolute best and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you Rachel! 😻
Muhammad was so attentive and fantastic. My dog has been very ill lately and he kept me updated the whole time I was out. Followed all instructions, very friendly and a kind person overall. He took great care of Nelson and gave him lots of love. 10/10 recommend
Ana recently watched our two dogs while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved her! She took them on daily walks before work and sent us lots of pictures and updates so we knew how things were going. There was no doubt that they were loved and well cared for while we were gone. Communicating with her was very easy. I would definitely recommend her and we will definitely look for her availability for future trips.
We contacted Brittany last minute for a sitting request due to a last minute schedule change. She replied immediately and was up for a quick meet and greet the next day and grabbed our keys. Not only was she responsive but she gave us regular updates and walked him as soon as she arrived and checked in on when we would arrive home to make sure Toby wouldn't be in his own for too long. Brittany is everything hope for when entrusting your pet to someone!!
Jessica was great with our two dogs. We have an adolescent German shepherd who is still training to be less reactive and not pull on leash as much. He needs a lot of exercise and she was great at meeting his needs. I’m used to coming home to a very frustrated dog when we travel but this time he seems very happy like his needs were met. I’m also used to him typically going backwards in training when we are away but it seems Jessica really kept up with this, which is also so nice for us. We also have a little chihuahua who loves to cuddle and she is very happy as well. If you are looking for a dog sitter who really understands and cares about dogs we highly recommend Jessica. She also helped care for a wound our shepherd got just before we left, which we have returned to looking very well healed. She is very attentive and responds quickly. We will definitely book her again for our dogs.
Shihua ("Stephanie") has taken such good care of our 3 month old lab puppy Bean over the last few weeks, with both drop in visits and a weekend stay at our home. Bean can be a handful (teething, chewing, lots of energy and other young puppy antics), and Shihua handles her beautifully and with a smile! She is very thorough about our dog's care and routine and very thoughtful. We'd highly recommend.
Seng is absolutely fantastic! We have used Seng several times for dog walking when needed and we recently had her dog sit in our home for 4 nights and she did a great job taking care of our dog. Seng was very communicative throughout the day, followed our dog’s schedule, and showed our dog lots of love. Additionally, she took really good care of our home — cleaning up after herself, throwing out the trash, and leaving the house in excellent condition. Our dog is always very excited to see Seng and we’ve been beyond happy working with her. I can’t recommend her enough!
Benjamin was such a great weekend sitter for our kitten! During our meet and greet, he asked great questions and took notes — it was clear he had a really high standard of care. And during the stay we got lots of pictures and updates which we always love! We came back to a super clean house that was well cared for. We’d love to have Benjamin back!
We had a fantastic experience with Jessica. She took great care of our older and quirky dog, and we could tell by the updates she shared he was having a great time. She also left the house in fantastic shape, too. We hope to have the opportunity to book with her again soon!
My dog care fell through a couple days before going away and I needed someone to stay with my dogs for 2 nights. My older boy is easy going , but my little guy has a lot of stranger danger and I was pretty stressed about finding care I felt good about . Emily came through with an easy going confident energy and her responsiveness was much appreciated when time was running out. She found time for a meet and greet and wasn’t intimidated by my little one’s antics. In the end it all worked out and I was able to attend an out of town wedding without being stressed out about my dogs and home the whole time . Thanks Emily .

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glenridge is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $121 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.
As of November 2026, there are 8,087 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 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 Glenridge. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
