“Riku loves his walks with Aaliyah and I loved the regular updates I got throughout the weekend. She handled him well when he got nippy and followed all the instructions I gave. She’s wonderful!”
“As usual we came home to a very happy pup. Helene did a wonderful job of caring for Tiger and keeping us aware of how he was doing each and every day. She’s the best!!”
About: I’ve worked with pets for the past 3 years. I slowly started off by taking care of family’s pets, the eventually worked up to building my own personal clientele and currently work for a pet care company called, Baby got bark. Through the years I’ve had the privilege of meeting a variety of pets of all kind from the small to big. I also had my own two kitties for the past decade who I completely love with all my heart. Currently, I’m working part time so I have spare time in the mornings before 12 and in the evenings after 5 pm. I’m not attending school at the moment either so I can devote my attention to pet care. I take care in reading and following instructions set by client’s for their pets. Dependent on the pet I work around their personality to see what they are and aren’t comfortable with as well.
“It. was my first booking with Xena and had an amazing experience! She’s so friendly, knowledgeable, professional and my baby was comfortable around her. The minute they met he was all over her to play and was really worried that with his high energy it may be too much to handle. Xena was so patient and kind with him which gave me the peace of mind and will be booking again in the future.”
“Giovanna was great with my very anxious dog (and his anxious owner). My dog can be difficult and doesn't trust people he doesn't know. Giovanna followed all instructions with patience and care. She was communicative, respectful, and responsible. I came home to a clean house and a happy dog, which is all one could ask for!”

“Julianne was just amazing! She was willing to work with us even though it was a las minute booking. She sent daily pics, took the dogs on walks, and treated them as a replacement mommy. Could not be happier, we will deff be booking with her again!”
“Jason did a great job housesitting for us and watching our dog. He reached out a ton with pictures and updates so we knew our dog was doing well. Our flight was delayed and he was flexible adding on extra time so we knew that if we ended up delayed again, our dog would be safe. Thanks Jason!”
“June stayed with Kelly for 2 nights. Kelly sent lots of updates and pictures. She took great care of June, even when June was being a bit of a handful! We would book with Kelly again.”
“My wife and I are extremely satisfied with the care Charlotte provided for our dog Teddy. From the moment we got home, we could tell how happy and well cared for he was. It really gave us peace of mind during our trip. Charlotte was punctual, attentive, and followed all of our instructions. We also really appreciated that she took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure we were a good fit. That meant a lot to us. During that conversation she learned about our travel destination and since she was familiar with the area, she went above and beyond by sharing helpful tips and a great list of places for us to check out. While we were away she sent us photos here and there, which made us feel even more comfortable knowing Teddy was in good hands. We truly feel like we didn’t just find a pet sitter, we made a new friend. Thank you Charlotte for taking such great care of Teddy. We would absolutely recommend her to family and friends.”
“Monica is an amazing pet sitter. The dog was happy. The house was clean. She followed all the instructions provided. She was extremely communicative and sent tons of adorable pictures of our dog playing and snuggling. Our dog isn't the easiest and takes a while to warm up to new people. Monica did a great job gaining her trust and making sure they had a good week while we were away. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”

“Olivia was very accommodating and both of our dogs instantly warmed up to her. When we got home the following day, both dogs were normal and didn't seem stressed about having someone new in the house. Olivia followed all of their care instructions which makes us confident in asking her to sit again in the future.”

About: I've had a houseful of pets my whole life and I've always loved animals. I've been pet sitting since I was a teenager, and I have volunteered at an animal shelter. I'm familiar with many aspects of pet care such as walking dogs, socializing cats, cleaning waste and messes, administering medication, and spoiling them of course! My goal is always the safety and comfort of all the pets I care for. I recently moved back to the DC area and have plenty of time to care for your pets while I continue my employment search. I am available from 9am to 6pm most days. I cannot currently offer in-home pet care. I am able to check in on your pets in your home. It is important to me to follow all instructions given by the pet owner and to ensure the best care possible.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Glenview is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenview
Ben took great care of our dog, Banjo, while we were away on a long trip (almost 2 weeks). Coming home, the biggest relief was seeing Banjo happy, healthy, and in great spirits. It was clear he’d been well cared for. Ben made sure he was fed, walked, and had plenty of playtime and attention. He also took great care of our home by bringing in the mail and keeping an eye on everything while we were gone. We will definitely be using Ben again in the future. Highly recommend!
Betzabe is a fabulous pet sitter. She gives updates and photos every time she visits. She gave personalized attention including food, walks and playtime to my two little poodle mixes. Even my high anxiety and particular dog loves when Betzabe comes. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
Stephanie took great care of our dog and two kittens during a house sitting! She was super sweet, communicative, and as a pet parent herself she knew how to give them all the attention and affections they needed to make sure they are comfortable while we were away for a couple of nights. Highly recommend her.
Charlotte was wonderful! She took great care of our girly while we were traveling and updated us daily. Not only did we know our dog was being taken care of but Charlotte updating us kept us feeling stress free. We will 100% keep utilizing Charlotte when we travel.
Veronica was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly diligent, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept me updated throughout each visit with thoughtful messages and great photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that my dogs were well cared for and received plenty of attention and affection. She followed all of my instructions carefully, was reliable, and treated my home with respect. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book Veronica again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Glenview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glenview on Rover is $44.97 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 11,207 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glenview. 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 Glenview 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 Glenview 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 Glenview 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.
