About: I’ve been doing doggie sitting for approximately a decade and officially on Rover since 2021. Our teens love dogs but at this stage in our life I (mom) is not willing to get us a pet- we have lots of love to give but we want to maintain our flexibility for travel. This is what makes Rover and excellent fit for us! I am a nurse who works until approximately 3p and I alternate hospital/home work environment. Our high school aged kiddos love nothing more than coming home to play and show your doggie lots of love! We exercise every afternoon- we are a triathlete family and love staying active, thus walking and playing outdoors with your pup would be an utter joy for us. We have a single family home with fenced in spacious back yard for your pup to explore. Front yard as well and healthy and active gated community with a park/playground near by which we frequently walk to and play in. We can and will implement any needs for your pet to make him feel right at home. We have old-ish laminate flooring and we certainly dont mind the occasional accidents that come with pets exploring and adjusting to new environments. We can adjust to almost any per routine due to our flexible work schedules. We want this time apart to be as seamless as possible for your pup and his/her family. I do not currently have any pets in our home and thus our attention and care will be fully on your pup. Siblings are always welcomed together of course!

“Mia stayed in our home with our two dogs. She was phenomenal!! She was prompt, very detailed, and left our home spotless. She updated me constantly with videos and photos of our babies. We will definitely use her services again! She was a pleasure to work with.”

“Angie provided the most professional, caring and responsible service I could have asked for. This was my first time having someone come take care of my dogs at home and it made my trip go so much more smooth. She kept me updated with the cutest pictures and was so kind to leave my house very clean when she left. I will be definetly be booking again with her.”

“Your energy, enthusiasm, and kindness toward Norman and our family were so appreciated. You were both incredibly attentive to Norman, communicative and gracious throughout, and we felt completely comfortable having you care for both him and our home. Having the two of you is such a wonderful bonus, but you are each so capable and attentive individually that we would feel equally confident and completely at ease with either one of you caring for Norman. You are absolutely our go-to, and we look forward to having you back again very soon!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 12 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and families in my community. I’ve also had two Boston Terriers of my own, so I know firsthand how much pets become part of the family. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities and am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I’m reliable, responsible, active, and attentive, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions. My goal is to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while they’re in my care. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in medical school, so my rotation schedule can vary from week to week, but I’m often free throughout the week. I’m especially available in the evenings and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule whenever I can! I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and playtime. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship while keeping the home clean and secure. With 12+ years of pet-sitting experience and two Boston Terriers of my own, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs.
About: I have trained my dogs since puppyhood and have taken care of all sized dogs. I have fostered over the years and love helping pets find homes. I am patient, reliable and loving. I am available when needed. I am free weekends and at nights weekdays and am work from home so I can be at home with any of the pets. I walk my dogs for long periods of time since we don't have a yard. I have cameras in my home to monitor everyone. I give the animal their time to be comfortable with me.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. Our 12 year old Belgian Malinois is the heart of our home, so I know what senior dog care looks like day to day, including slower walks, joint comfort, and keeping routines steady. Because my Malinois is reactive to other dogs, I understand how stressful it is for anxious or reactive pets and their owners, and I know how to keep things calm and controlled. I also have a horse, which has given me real experience with daily care and giving medications. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for meds and special needs. Pets are already a big part of my daily routine. Between walks, feeding, and caring for our senior Malinois, my day naturally revolves around animals. My work schedule is flexible, so I can be home for much of the day, give regular potty breaks and walks, and keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. I’m happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions and send updates so you know how they’re doing. In my home, pets get a calm, structured routine. They’ll have regular walks, meals on your schedule, plenty of cuddle time, and a comfortable spot to rest. I keep a close eye on how they’re eating, drinking, and acting, and I send updates so you know they’re doing well. In your home, I stick to the routine your pet already knows, including their feeding times, walks, and medications. I’ll also bring in the mail, water plants, and leave things tidy so you come home to a normal house and a happy pet. Either way, I follow your instructions closely and I’m always happy to talk through special needs before a stay.
About: Hi there! I've been an animal lover since I was very young, and that passion led me to study 3 years of veterinary medicine and complete a veterinary assistant course. I combine that technical knowledge with a caring, detail-oriented approach to give your pet the care it deserves. I'm currently building my own pet care business, and I'd love to be part of the trusted team of people who look after your furry friend while you're away. I know every pet has their own personality and energy level, so I offer a personalized experience tailored to what each furry companion needs to feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I'm available 7 days a week, since I'm 100% dedicated to pet care. This allows me to offer flexible scheduling to fit each family's needs, whether it's for walks, visits, or care at any time of day. Trust and safety are at the core of everything I do. With my background in veterinary medicine and a veterinary assistant course, I know how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and respond calmly and responsibly. I'm committed to ongoing learning so I can always provide the best care possible, giving you peace of mind that your furry friend is safe and in good hands.

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was a child and have experience with all kinds of animals—birds, turtles, chicks, hamsters, cats, and dogs.

From Monday to Friday I am available early in the morning or in the afternoon/night. I can provide long or short walks, playtime, and attention. I love pets animals and play with them. It’s important to spend time with them a provide them food and attention. They don’t want to be alone.
About: I love providing animals with the best care because they could feel stressed without their owners. I love taking away anny type of anxiety for them. I’m currently a college student so I have plenty of time to check in with your fur babies everyday and a few times a week I have a fenced yard and a cat who is vaccinated. I make sure they have their necessities and provide them with what makes them feel safe whether it’s space, company, etc.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for well over 10+ years. 4 Golden Retrievers, 2 Labs, and 1 king charles. I Have always loved every dog and have been dog walking and dog sitting for around 2-3 years. I’m very flexible with any accommodation and pricing just send a message! College student but available for dog walking and dog sitting. Available all weekends, and most weekdays.

“Victoria was a great communicator and took good care of both of my dogs. She is very kind, patient, and she sent me lots of updates and pictures throughout the entire day she spent in my house. Thank you!”

We’ve had pets our entire lives and truly know how to care for and love them. Over the years, we’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends and private clients, both in our home and theirs. We’re experienced with feeding, cleaning, administering medication, and—most importantly—making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Now that we’re retired, we have the time and heart to welcome furry guests into our home. Our big yard is perfect for running and playing, and our calm, peaceful lifestyle means your pet will always have company, comfort, and attention.

“Anna was absolutely amazing while caring for my cat.. she was very attentive and communicative, always sending updates and asking questions. Will for sure book her again🤍”

About: Ive taken care of dogs / cats ever sincei was a child. I always had a love for animals ever since i could remember. I have 1 cat & 1 dog of my own who are very happy loved. My work schedule is very flexible and for most days i work from home so I’ll be there to care and watch the animals whenever i have a pet in my care. I have a backyard that is pretty spacious and I also have an area in the front that has a decent amount of space. The entire property is gated so there is no way for them to escape. They can play outside or inside, whichever the animal prefers in that moment.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and was always the one in my family caring for them. I currently have two sweet boys of my own, both 8 years old. Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian; a reflection of just how much I’ve always cared for animals, but life had other plans and I proudly joined the service, where I’ve been serving for 13 years. Being in a new city away from family can get lonely, and I can’t think of a better way to feel at home than spending time with furry companions. I’d love the opportunity to provide your pets with the same care, love, and attention I give my own. Weekends work best for me when it comes to pet care since I work throughout the week. That said, I can still accommodate weekday care for emergencies or last-minute needs. I’ll just need to adjust my schedule. I try to stay as flexible as possible so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I’m very attentive to my dogs and I take the same approach with every pet I care for. I know each animal has their own unique habits and personality, so please let me know anything special about your pet. I’ll make sure to keep their routine consistent. My dogs are small, so I take them on multiple short walks throughout the day to keep them happy and exercised. At home, they stay in a gated area in my bedroom while I’m at work, and at night they sleep with me. If you’d prefer your pet to sleep freely, I’m happy to allow that, but if your pet is crate-trained and you’d like me to maintain that routine, I completely understand. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and cared for the same way you would.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and started dog sitting when I was about 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of many different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, including caring for as many as seven dogs at the same time. I’m also very comfortable in multi-pet households. At one point, my own family included three dogs and three cats, so managing different personalities, routines, feeding schedules, and care needs comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, habits, boundaries, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, affectionate, and comfortable following detailed feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. Most importantly, I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take their safety, comfort, and routine seriously. I’m experienced with multi-pet households and different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions, and I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I also respect your home and keep communication open so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenvar Heights
Liz is absolutely wonderful! Reliable, kind and truly loving to your fur babies. She sends photos and updates and you will feel truly at ease with her watching your littles at home. I highly recommend booking Liz and will seek her again for our next pet sitting.

Devin was amazing with our golden retriever, Honey! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of her while we were away. Honey was happy, loved, and clearly in excellent hands. We would absolutely trust Devin to watch her again and highly recommend her!

I would recommend Maddie to anyone looking for someone who gives their pet lots of attention when you leave them with her. She gave me lots of updates and had great communication. My pup is also a special needs dog and she did really great with tending to his emotional and physical needs. He needs a lot of patience to trust and when I returned to pick him up he was very comfortable with her ❤️❤️❤️

Hannie is AWESOME!! She handled my pack of Dobermans with ease (no small feat by ANY means) after only one meet and greet. She took amazing care of everyone, made sure they were well-fed and handled the pack dynamics perfectly. My babies were in heaven with her (she takes the cutest pics & videos!!) and were very clearly well cared for when I got home. I am so happy to have met Hannie, and my pups are obsessed with her. As a big dog owner I’m always nervous with new sitters, but I felt immediately at ease with Hannie (and my dogs were immediately obsessed with her). She followed all the instructions and went above & beyond in just making sure everyone was happy, safe, and having fun. Thank you Hannie!

Natalie was so great! We did a couple meet and greets as one of my babies is a little wary of new people. She was so patient and a dog whisper. Both my dogs took to her so fast. She was extremely communicative during our trip and sent lots of photos. She followed all our instructions perfectly and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. We would love to have her house sit for them again in the future

Amanda was amazing once again. She accepted a last-minute weekend request and took such great care of our two dogs. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and since this was her second time staying with them, they were clearly excited to see her again. What made this stay extra special was the personal touch—she left us a handwritten note and even an embroidered patch featuring both dogs. It was such a thoughtful surprise. We truly feel at ease knowing Amanda is with them, and we can’t wait to have her back again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Glenvar Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glenvar Heights is $85 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $98 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 October 2026, there are 3,465 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glenvar Heights. 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 Glenvar Heights 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 Glenvar Heights 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 Glenvar Heights 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.

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.
