“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.”
“Gisselle is a rock star! We love having her stay with our dogs when we leave town. Gisselle is so good with Finn and Nellie. This last time it was just Finn, and he adores her. Gisselle is wonderful with Finn and Nellie. The daily photos and check-in’s are just right. I feel completely at ease knowing our dogs are in Gisselle’s capable hands. I can’t say enough great things about her, she is simply the best! Gisselle is always our first call when we need to be out of town. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s actually it more like 10!”
“Kimberly is such a positive and high energy personality! I felt very relaxed leaving Jax in her capable care. She was so nice and asked great questions. I would definitely book her again!”
“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!”
“Caroline takes wonderful care of Nala, and of the apartment as well! Nala has a lot of anxiety but is very at ease with Caroline and Caroline helps her stay calm throughout the day.”
“Joslyn was absolutely wonderful! She house sat for us and took exceptional care of our dog and cat while we were away for 6 days. Our dog has severe allergies and even had a skin flare-up in the middle of the night, and Joslyn handled it so calmly and responsibly, communicating with us the entire time and making sure she was comfortable and cared for. She was very communicative throughout our trip, sent regular updates and videos, and kept the house tidy and well cared for. Both our dog and cat were clearly happy and comfortable with her; one of the videos she sent as she was leaving even showed them looking sad to see her go, which says everything. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets and home were in such good hands and would absolutely book her again.”
“Alex was awesome! Great communication throughout my trip, followed instructions super well, handled my very picky eater Mixie with lots of patience and care, and left my apartment in a great state for when I returned. Would definitively recommend!”
“Jessica did a great job! She housesat for me and took great care of my dog and two cats. She was so professional and communicative and left my space so clean! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“As usual, Julia took such great care of my dog. She’s always punctual, communicative, and her love for animals is very evident. We’re always so grateful when she’s available to hang with our dog June :)”
“The kitties were very calm when we returned, and we assume this is because they had great company in Cameron. Cameron stayed overnight for the weekend and we'd do it again!”
“Booked Fiona for a short and very last minute trip. Fiona was easy to communicate with and very flexible. My dogs LOVED her! She sent messages and pics and I knew the dogs were happy. Would definitely book her again!”
“Timothy was excellent with our high-maintenance, reactive border collie & our two cats. They followed instructions & the animals all seemed relaxed & happy upon our return. Highly recommend!”
“The furbaby seemed happy and well cared for, my place was clean, and Nicole was super responsive. I also really appreciated the extra time for a meet n greet. Would have loved more pics or daily updates but A+!”
“Trinity is awesome! She stayed at my house with my very old dog and is a really lovely person. I didn't have to worry about my dog and felt comfortable, and at ease while I was away. I really hope to have her help out again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenridge
Caroline is attentive, thoughtful and truly listens to all the details a dog owner leaving their dog worries about! She totally pulled through for us as our dog had recently been sick and was on meds and a new diet so the stay was more involved than it would have been typically and she handled it all perfectly. It was my son's wedding weekend and we were able to enjoy and relax because we knew our guy and our house were in great hands. And, a bonus is that she is a lovely person and waited patiently for our sometimes timid guy to warm up to her. She is great! Thank you Caroline!
Iliana was an excellent house and pet sitter who handled all the details of meds for a seniorish dog and senior cat including insulin injections with ease. She also dealt with unforeseen issues with the pets and house with thoughtfulness and calm. We appreciate her so much and the pets adored her as was seen in all the daily pics she sent. We would strongly recommend her and hire her again for sure.
Jenn is great with our dogs! We have two Frenchies that are quirky and just need special attention. She is flexible and always super attentive to them. She always gives us timely updates and photos which makes me feel comfortable when we are out of town. I plan to book her again!
I had a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of my two dogs and my cat, kept me updated throughout my trip, and treated them like her own. I came home to happy, relaxed pets and couldn't have asked for better care. Reliable, communicative, and compassionate—I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!
Amina took care of my senior cat Taylor for a long weekend and I definitely recommend her to look after your pets. She was kind enough to meet before the stay and Taylor was comfortable with her presence and was out and about the whole weekend. Amina took daily photos and kept my apartment clean for my arrival. Book her if you need someone to look after your apartment and beloved pets!
Etna was wonderful with our 3 month old puppy Egg - as soon as she met Egg she knew exactly how to react and respond to Egg’s excitement. We learned a lot from her, but also came home to a relaxed, happy puppy. Couldn’t recommend her more, especially if you have a puppy!
Lauren is absolutely the best cat/house sitter we have ever had. She is super responsible and very professional. Our cat adores her and we come home to a very happy cat. She also keeps our house so clean and organized. We can travel knowing that all will be well with Lauren - that is priceless.
We are so thrilled to have found Kim, she is an absolutely excellent pet sitter and I'd highly, highly recommend her! Our cat absolutely LOVED Kim, and we felt so reassured knowing he was in such good hands. In addition, Kim was extremely responsive, proactive, and thoughtful with us. We could not have asked for a better house sitter and can't wait to work with her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Glenridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glenridge on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,044 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.
