“Leslie did a great job sitting Nash! By the pictures she sent you could tell he was having a great time at the park. Thanks for watching my baby over the holiday!”
“Sonja did a great job! The pets were well cared for and she left the house in perfect shape. So nice to come home to a clean house with happy pets! She also gave us regular updates and photos so we knew everything was going well the whole time. We will definitely ask Sonja to help us out again!”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She stayed at my house with an anxious kitty and I enjoyed my vacation without any worries. She is so good with cats, is communicative, kind and such a pleasure to know. I highly recommend Elizabeth!”
“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!”
About: I live with an active Siberian Husky, so I’m very familiar with dogs who need more than a short loop around the block. I’m comfortable with strong walkers, high-energy dogs, and dogs who benefit from structure and consistency. I also grew up with a Cocker Spaniel and Springer Spaniel so my experience truly spans the gamut. I build my days around dogs and walking. I’m out with my own dog every day and keep a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of room for weekday walks. I intentionally keep my service area close to home so I can be dependable, unhurried, and consistent with the dogs I care for. Recurring weekday walks are especially welcome. I treat every dog and home with the same care I’d want for my own. I follow your routines closely, double-check doors, gates, leashes and harnesses before heading out, and never leave a dog unattended outside. I take time to learn each dog’s temperament, triggers and walking habits, and I’m thoughtful about interactions with other dogs and people. In your home, I respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and keep communication clear, including photos and an update after every walk.
“Jessica did a FANTASTIC job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend! One of my cats has been having some urinary tract issues and needed medication every 8 hours and she took incredible care of him. I would definitely hire her again and I HIGHLY recommend her! She was extremely respectful of our home and our cats absolutely loved her!”
“This is my second time having Christine housesit and it is so nice having someone I can trust to take care of my dog. She's very easy to communicate with, goes on walks all over the city (and sends lots of great pics), and always leaves the apartment in great shape. She has become my first choice as a petsitter and I definitely recommend her!”
“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!”
“Monica was so great with our pup! We booked her last minute when I was going into labor and we are so lucky she was available and flexible when we had to stay longer at the hospital. Will absolutely book with Monica again!!”
“Logan was awesome with our dog, very patient and sent lots of photo updates! She even got him a toy! Not to mention Crue who is the sweetest friend and role model for any pup. Thank you Logan!”
“Muhammad watched our cat over a long weekend and it was clear the two of them had a wonderful time! He sent us lots of pictures and videos, which were really nice. I’ll definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for more than 10 years. That includes puppies and kittens, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy cats, an older deaf dog, and homes with several pets. I’m comfortable following medication and special-care routines, and I pay attention to the little things that help each pet feel at ease. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’ll stick to your instructions, keep you updated with photos and videos, and take good care of your home too. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m an early riser and walk around San Francisco a lot, so dog walks fit easily into my day. I can also stop by for meals, playtime, litter or potty breaks, medication, and some company. I’m available for overnight stays too. I follow the routine you leave for me and take care to keep pets safe and comfortable. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, food, and medication instructions, and I leave the home clean and tidy. I’ve cared for senior pets, an older deaf dog, and pets with special routines. If anything seems off, I’ll let you know right away. I also send regular photos and videos.
“Elle was so great with our dog, Fil! She stayed with him over the weekend and it looked like they were having the best time. She was an excellent communicator and sent us regular updates on all of the fun they were having. We will definitely be asking Elle to sit for Fil again!”
“Needed a pet sitter for one night in San Francisco and luckily found Joe. He was very trustworthy and listened to all our needs for our pets. Also very good at communicating and sending pics and vids of our two girls. Would recommend Joe to anyone looking for care for your pets!”
About: I’m a caring, patient, and responsible cat sitter who understands that cats need both love and respect for their individual personalities. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I’m especially detail-oriented when it comes to litter box care and maintaining a clean space. I’m also comfortable giving medication when clear instructions are provided and can give shy or nervous cats the time and space they need to feel comfortable. What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for cats. I treat every cat as an individual and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their cat is happy and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my schedule to accommodate each cat’s feeding, medication, playtime, and litter box routine. I’m reliable and organized, and I make sure each visit receives my full attention rather than rushing through it. I’m also available on weekends and can provide consistent care for clients who are traveling or away from home. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making pets feel comfortable in their own environment. When caring for a cat in a client’s home, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, litter box care, and daily routines. I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep cats away from unsafe areas or household hazards, and double-check that everything is safe before leaving. I also keep the home clean and respect the client’s privacy and belongings. I understand that trust is very important when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“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.”
“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!”

Jesse rescued us when we had to switch petsitters while on an international trip and I am so so grateful to him and happy to have found him! He took extra care of our dog to make sure he felt comfortable after switching sitters, and went above and beyond to put my mind at ease - he was super communicative especially given the last minute booking. Highly recommend booking with Jesse, your pets will be in good hands.
João was a fantastic dog sitter for my pup Nora. He is incredibly kind, professional, very easy to communicate with and responsive. He was nothing other than attentive, thoughtful and loving with my dog and treated my place like he would his own while he watched her over an extended holiday weekend. I could not recommend him more highly.
Linda was beyond excellent with our dog, Greer! She kept us updated the full week we were gone, did lots of training with Greer, and made sure our house was spotless when she left. We are so thankful we found Linda—leaving our dog is stressful but we didnt worry for a minute knowing she was with Linda.
Allie did an amazing job sitting for our two dogs. She was very patient with them because they take awhile to warm up to people. She sent frequent updates on how they were doing. We came home to an immaculate house and she picked up after the dogs in the yard. We couldn’t ask for a better petsitter!
We had an excellent first experience with Daniel and will be using him again very soon! Probably our best sitter experience thus far. Daniel had clear communication and sent lots of photo updates while we were away. The home remained clean and put together when we got back. Momo seemed so happy and relaxed, a clear sign he was getting enough exercise and attention. Thank you Daniel!
Amina was so great with our senior dogs, both 13 & with their own health issues. She gave us daily updates with plenty of photos of them. When things came up, like when the dogs were having loose stool, she let us know right away! She also worked with adjusting our dogs meds as needed. Our dogs loved her. She was also extremely respectful of our home & the place was pristine when we got back.
Great petsitter! My cat Cherie loves the attention. Plus I had an unexpected neighbor cat that was still there the entire time and Alex was so kind to care for him too, huge thanks for that. I know Bronco Catsby will be forever grateful he did not have to wait out his time in animal control (SF animal control are super awesome but it’s scary there for cats!)
Such a thoughtful sitter and guardian for our two dogs!! She was very communicative, on time, responsive, and very thoughtful. Our dogs took an immediate liking to her. For house sitting she leaves your place looking better than when you left it! Will be using Elin again. Will be using Elin again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glenridge on Rover is $67.71 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,146 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.
