“Being our first experience with Rover, we were nervous about leaving our two elderly dogs for a long weekend with someone we didn’t know. Both have special needs, and one requires around-the-clock supervision. Thankfully, Emily was there for us. While we were impressed with her skills and experience, what really put us at ease was her enthusiasm, attentive nature and genuine compassion for the pets she cares for. Emily addressed all our concerns, bonded quickly with our dogs, kept us informed and somehow managed to follow all our complex care instructions. We are grateful to Emily for keeping our puppies safe and hope that she will be available to watch over them again when the time comes.”
“Britany administered meds and took great care of my pup that was recovering from a procedure. It was last minute and I was in a pinch, and she was more than willing to step up to help out. She is always reliable and helpful!”
“Bri is the best pet sitter ever! She took such great care of our baby boy, Wolfgang. She really treated him like her own pup. She made it a special experience for him and made him feel loved and cared for while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I’ve always had a love and passion for animals (even dreaming about being a Vet as a kid). I’ve had many different pets throughout my lifetime from dogs and cats to hamsters and fish. I even have experience with administering medicine and caring for my elderly dog. I’m currently working full time as an education aide in an elementary school, so my availability is mornings/evenings on weekdays and anytime during the day or night on the weekend! I am currently caring for my very own cat that is very playful and receives lots of love and cuddles. I’ve also had dogs growing up so I have experience playing with them, letting them out/taking them on walks, feeding them, administering medicine, and even crating them.
“Shermont'e was very respectable and patient with our dogs, (our dogs can be shy meeting new people). He constantly gave us updates on how they were doing, and that our most shy dog warmed up to him by the end of his stay! 10/10 would recommend!!”
About: I’ve always been a pet person- my dad is a veterinarian and we’ve lived with many dogs, cats and other animals throughout the years. I am well versed in caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, reptiles, and backyard chickens. I am a very calm and patient person, and if your pet is on the shyer side, I will take as much time as they need to adjust to me. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I can usually stay with pets for several hours during the day. If I cannot stay for long periods of time, I aim to stop by at least 2-3 times per day to check on everything/let dogs out. When letting dogs out, I closely monitor them, and if the yard allows, I will give them plenty of outside time. If there is a suitable area near your home, I don’t mind driving dogs short distances for walks. My car is fairly small, so I will probably have a limit of 2 medium sized dogs that can fit in it.
About: I’ve provided care for animals since I was a young child. Successfully completed a basic dog training course at Alaska SPCA in 2016. My skill ranges from walks to grooming, I’ve got you covered! Currently, I’m working full-time with free availability Sunday through Tuesday! I will require at least a three day notice before the date of booking. Please message me for any questions you may have! I have a balcony and plenty of space for your fur baby to lounge and play. Currently my roommate is an agreeable cat. Chai is pleasant and tolerable to other cats and small dogs.
About: Hi! I’m Martha :) I’m the owner of Lyons’ Den Pet Boarding, a small, home-based dog boarding business focused on providing personalized, comfortable care for every guest. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have owned dogs since I was 6 years old. Over the years, I’ve developed a genuine love for caring for dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. Through Lyons’ Den, I’ve cared for dogs with a variety of personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what helps each pup feel comfortable and settled while their family is away. At Lyons’ Den Pet Boarding, dogs stay in a dedicated boarding room connected directly to our home. The space was created specifically for our canine guests, giving them a comfortable area of their own while keeping us close by. Each dog has a roomy individual space with a cozy dog couch, soft blankets, pleasant lighting, and low background music. It gives them a comfortable place to relax, sleep, and unwind between activities. Although the boarding room is separate from our main living area, it is connected to our home, so we are always nearby. We use a baby monitor to keep an eye on our guests and check on them regularly throughout the day and evening. Your dog’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. We take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, needs, and comfort level so we can provide appropriate care throughout their stay. Dogs are supervised during outdoor play, and we balance activity with quiet time so they have plenty of opportunities to rest and decompress. We also take cleanliness seriously. Couch covers are washed between guests, and accommodations are cleaned and refreshed regularly to maintain a clean, comfortable environment. We want Lyons’ Den to feel like a cozy home away from home — providing each dog with their own comfortable space, attentive care, outdoor fun, and plenty of opportunities to rest. 🐾 I am a stay at home mom! That means extra time to spend with the pets! My kiddos and I frequent the parks and walking trails, the more the merrier! I’ve cared for pets my whole life! I know how to remain calm in case of injury or anxiety! Calming music, safe and warm home, and always open communication!
About: I can show that I am committed to providing the best care for each pet by taking the time to get to know them. I am responsible. I can demonstrate experience by noting the breeds of animals you've cared for, any behavior challenges. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am passionate about caring for animals. I am able to plan my schedule around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide consistent, loving care while keeping pet parents updated.🐾 I provide loving, reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. Depending on the service, I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure they have fresh water and a clean, safe environment. I am experienced with dogs and always pay close attention to their individual needs, personality, and comfort. I will also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel comfortable knowing their pet is being well cared for.🐾
“LeAndra took great care of our four furbabies—two cats and two small dogs—while we were away for a long weekend. She sent lots of photos and helped us relax and enjoy our time away. She was prompt, caring, efficient and attentive. Highly recommend.”
“Thank you again for watching the pups for us! Nate was great once again, now with caring for my very fresh tripod husky! He followed her specific care instructions that included medications! The dogs and I truly appreciate you! Till next time.”
“Devaney was amazing with our high energy/high anxiety pitty mix. We were so nervous to leave because last time when we didn’t have a sitter (just intermittent walker/feeder) she tore up the place with anxiety. Devaney sent me frequent updates and pictures all weekend and we even came home to a very clean apartment. She gave my cat lots of loving as well! 10/10 recommend and will be booking with her again!”
“This was a last minute booking that Tara was quick to respond to and set up a meet/greet for. I was very nervous to leave the dogs as we just recently rescued one with severe trauma/fear and another one healing from a recent surgery and still getting used to having his new brother in the house. I knew they needed someone very attentive and knowledgeable—Tara was just that and beyond! We had a slight issue that we did not anticipate with our rescue doggie and Tara was quick to inform us and navigate the issue to ensure both our dogs were happy and healthy in her care!”
“Molly was able to watch our dogs very last minute. She was a good communicator throughout the stay and was helpful about bringing in our packages. She also took the sheets off the guest bed before leaving, which we appreciated! Overall, a great experience!”
About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.
“Ms Riley Was The Best She Came and Stayed the Holiday weekend ( Fourth of July) with our Lil Yorkie Edie and she Has A New Best Friend I would definitely recommend Riley she is attentive with pets and People My neighbor came By and they even hit it off Thank you Riley for taking care of Edie like she was your own ❤️❤️”

Monica did a great job looking after our 2 dogs and 3 senior cats, while we were out of town for a week (house sitting). She stayed at our house and did a great job of communicating and sending pictures. Our dogs fell in love with her. Everybody was happy and well adjusted when we returned. We would highly recommend Monica!

The average cost of House Sitting in Glenwillow is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $55 per night.

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 Glenwillow 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 Glenwillow 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 Glenwillow 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
