âChristina did such an amazing job with Lincoln! It was my first time leaving him at home without a family member watching him, and she made me feel so comfortable, responding to all my many lengthy messages I sent about how to take care of him! She was on time for everything and sent pics and videos of how he did on walks, mealtimes, and just hanging out. I could tell she was really there for him and made an effort to get close to him even though he can be shy and independent. And he got to snuggle her when there was scary thunder 𼺠She also is very kind and understanding. I definitely recommend Christina 100%â
âThis was the first time we used Rover.com. Marian was great in taking care of our brood. 2 dogs and 3 cats. She sent us daily pics and updates. If felt good having someone we could rely on. She stayed in our home. When we returned, it was like she was never there. She cleaned up and remade the bed in the guest room. I would gladly refer her to anyone. Her demeanor with the dogs was kind and respectful of their feelings. She wound up giving and getting love with lots of cuddles. The cats were a little standoffish but started to come around, but thatâs the nature of cats. If you are looking for a pet sitter in the Abington area, definitely seek out Marian.â
âAlways such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !â
âPaige took great care of my dog while I was away. She was respectful of my home and left it just as it was when I departed. I would highly recommend her to anyone, as she is great with the animals in her care!â
âOur girl was so calm & happy (after welcome home zoomies) when we came home. Dana took amazing care of her and our house and provided the best updates ever throughout our trip.â
âMatt took great care of our pup while we were on our honeymoon. Before we left Indy had a cut on his foot that required him to wear a bag on his foot and to be wiped with medicine after returning inside. Since this happened the day before we left we didnât really have a chance to get him used to the process. Matt went above and beyond to care for Indys paw injury and kept us updated. We would highly recommend Matt!â

âAlexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.â

Paige stayed at our house with our three pets while we were out of town. She took such great care of our senior dog and two cats and sent us detailed updates throughout the weekend! She even helped us navigate some eating challenges with our dog, litter robot malfunctions and remained flexible when our flights got canceled. We would love to use Paige again in the future!
We loved having Cadence stay with our dog, Levi. We just got back from our 5 day trip to a clean house and a happy dog. She updated us daily on all of the things we asked her to, and she followed his typical schedule, which made us feel comfortable leaving him with her. Weâll definitely be asking her back next time weâre out of town. Thank you, Cadence!
I trust Ally to take care of my baby because she reads his behavior and needs the same way I do. For example, when itâs super hot out she keeps his walks short and utilizes the pool and indoor activities to make sure my dog gets the exercise he needs! Sheâs naturally an amazing dog sitter!
We found Lauren to be exceptional in every way. She touch based well before our booked dog sitting, asked all the right questions and took loving kind care of our 10 year old dog. She updated us daily and we felt happy when we returned that we had found our new pet sitter. She even helped out with a few house items (plants, mail and pool) for us too!
Kristen is a seriously dreamy A++ Rover sitter. I would love to hire her again! Communication was super smooth and easy. She took excellent care of our dog and was game to take a different dog that I normally care for on her usual walk. Turns out that wasnât needed but I so appreciate her willingness to help me out in that way. The doggie photos she sent were so good as well. Book her now before her calendar is full.
John took great care of my dog Brenna while I was traveling for 2 weeks. It was great to know that she was comfortable in a space that she's used to, and John sent me daily updates, including a pic of my girl. John was very respectful of my space and went above and beyond- even changing the sheets on the bed before I got home. This was my first time using Rover- and John made it a positive and stress free experience! If I'm traveling again in the future, I would definitely book him again!
Sabrina house-sat and took care of my two nutty little cats for 7 days and did a wonderful job. One of my cats needs a lot of pills and a bandage change and Sabrina was totally able to handle that. She came by before my trip to familiarize herself with the kitties and make sure she understood all the instructions, which I thought was really caring and responsible of her. I would be happy to work with Sabrina again and would highly recommend her!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Glenside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glenside on Rover is $54.82 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 5,800 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glenside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Glenside walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Glenside 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Glenside 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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.
