“Lupita was amazing! We were in Santa Cruz on vacation for July 4 and she was so flexible, helpful and accommodating of our schedule and needs. She took great care of our dog and he saw some great sites. She's a local so she knows the good spots. She even had a video call with us ahead of our trip as an intro. Thank you so much Lupita!”
“Angelika was absolutely wonderful while caring for my dog, Brie, and my home for five days. She is incredibly loving, responsible, and professional, and it was clear from the start that Brie was in the best hands. Throughout her stay, Angelika took exceptional care of Brie, giving her plenty of love and attention. I returned home to a happy dog, one who even looked for Angelika ! She also took amazing care of my home. We live close to the beach, and she even vacuumed before I returned, leaving everything spotless and beautifully cared for. That level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Angelika to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. She truly treats both your pets and your home with the utmost respect and care. I'll feel so confident to have her again”
“Tommy cat-sit in our home for 6 days. When we returned home, our cat seemed happy and healthy and the house was in great shape. We will definitely have Tommy cat-sit for us again!”
“Hannah went above and beyond caring for our dogs. She gave them lots of attention, sent an appropriate amount of pics/updates and left our house clean. Our dogs were calm and happy when we got back from our trip which is always a great sign!”
“I highly recommend Kendra, as she was very communicative, kind, and reliable. Our cat, Jinx, fell in love with her from the first moment, and he was in good hands for the entire ten days we were away. We truly appreciated the peace of mind she gave us and would love to have her pet sit for us again in the future. Thank you, Kendra, for an amazing job!”
“Rachel has such a calming energy which was perfect for our pups who get a little anxious while we are away. Was great to have piece of mind knowing she was there while I was away for the full day. Appreciated the updates and picts as well. Thank you!!”
“We found a gem in Lisa. Her rapport with our dog was immediate (and with us too!) It was comforting to leave town and know our dog was in excellent hands. We loved all the pics and updates she sent on how the dog sitting was going. Can't wait to have her back!”
“Kristina won Marty over, who can be a bit shy at first! She kept me up to date with pics and updates a few times a day which helped my anxiety decrease so much I could actually be present at my work thing. This was my first time letting someone I haven’t known for a while before watch him and I would trust her to watch him again.”
“Seannie was great with our dogs! We received lots and lots of photos, so we knew exactly how happy they were while she took care of them. The house was in good order when we came home. We would definitely book Seannie again.”
“Don't hesitate to book Mamu to care for your pet! I can’t recommend Mamu enough! They took care of my dog for three days and followed all my care instructions. From the start, they were calm, communicative, and incredibly patient. The level of attentiveness gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog and my home were well taken care of. I truly appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures, they made me feel connected and reassured. When I got home, I could immediately tell my dog had bonded with them. I had no hesitation putting in another request for a future sit the moment I returned. Thank you again for your amazing care and presence!”
About: I have done dog walking and sittings on other apps and with neighbors for 5 years! I have 70+ 5 star reviews on WAG! I also own 2 beautiful pups and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I have a serving job during nights, but I have open ability during the day every day of the week! I like to fit in walks whenever I can! I can not take any more pets into my home, but would love to do sittings and take care of pets at clients homes! *
“Bex was awesome! She took care of my sick bulldog while i was away and kept me informed everyday on his condition. She even took him to the vet for me so he didn’t miss an appointment to be checked. I will happily request Bex to watch my fur babies again. Thank you, Bex!”
“Thank you so much for caring for Pliny. You went above and beyond. Thanks for walking her and playing with her, and helping her feel comfy while we were gone. And the special gift of framed pics was really sweet!”
About: Hi, I’m Morgan! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my sweet 3-year-old Maltipoo 🐶 I’ve been dog-sitting for years and genuinely love getting to spend time with all different kinds of pups. I work remotely, so my schedule is super flexible and can easily be tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m also currently getting my master’s degree, and I use Rover to help support my tuition, which makes this something I truly care about and put a lot of effort into. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just wants someone to hang out and cuddle with, I’ll be there to give them lots of attention and love throughout the day. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always try to make them feel as safe, comfortable, and happy as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I don’t take that lightly 💛 Right now, I’m not offering overnight stays in my home since I live with two other dogs, but I’m more than happy to help with: • Walks • Drop-in visits • Staying in your home I’ll follow your routine closely and keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for your pup. Just a heads up, I am allergic to cats, so I’m only able to care for dogs. Feel free to reach out with any questions at all. I’d love to meet you and your pup and make sure they feel right at home 🐾 I cater my schedule to your dog’s specific needs! I work from home and spend most of my time with my own sweet pup, so I can guarantee your dog will get plenty of attention, love, and playtime during their stay. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m not offering overnight stays right now since I live with two other dogs, but I’m happy to do walks, drop-in visits, or stay in your house while boarding. I’ll follow any routines or instructions you leave and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. Since I work from home, I’m super flexible and can be there when your pet needs me most.
“Thank you Katelyn! We so appreciate you watching Pliny and our house. Loved all the pics and updates. She looked like she really enjoyed your time with her. We also appreciate you staying extra time when we missed our flight. Thanks again! We will contact you again in the future for more Pliny time!”
About: Feel free to call me Elva! I’ve been around cats and dogs for about 5 years and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have two cats of my own, so I know every pet has their own little personality and routine. I’m happy to feed them, play with them, go on walks, clean up after them, or just keep them company while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention and feels comfortable with me! My schedule is pretty flexible, so I usually have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. I’m available throughout the week and can work around your fur baby’s usual routine. 🛁 Bathing & Grooming Add-On 🐾 I’m happy to provide bathing and basic grooming during House Sitting, Doggy Day Care, and Boarding! 💕 (DM to ask for more info!) Services can include: ✅ 🛁 Bathing ✅ 🪮 Brushing & basic coat grooming ✅ 🪮 De-shedding (based on your fur baby's coat type) ✅ ✂️ Nail trimming ✅ 💅 Nail filing & smoothing ✅ 👂 Ear cleaning ✅ 👁️ Eye & tear-stain cleaning ✅ 🐶🫧 Face & muzzle cleaning ✅ 🐱🫧 Chin & blackhead cleaning ✅ 🐾 Paw cleaning ✅ 🐾✂️ Paw-pad hair trimming ✅ ✂️ Sanitary hair trimming (based on your fur baby's hair type) ✅ 🧶 Minor detangling ✅ 🪥 Teeth brushing ✅ 🦷 Basic oral hygiene with pet-safe products ✅ 🐱 A gentle cat wrap can be used when needed for grooming or teeth brushing (we all know how much cats "love" getting their teeth brushed 😂) ✅ 🐶🐱 Dental treats afterwards ༄ Drying for dogs: I currently do not have a professional pet dryer. For larger dogs, please provide a suitable blow dryer/drying tool if one is needed. 🫧🧴༄ For cats, baths will generally be done around midday so they have plenty of time to naturally dry afterward. Weather permitting and only in a safe, secure setting, they can relax in their carrier/enclosure outdoors or indoors while drying naturally. Cats will also usually continue grooming their own coat afterward. 🐱☀️ Available with: ✓ 🛏️ House Sitting ✓ 🐾 Doggy Day Care ✓ 🏠 Boarding I’ll make sure your fur babies feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow whatever routine they’re used to, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out with them. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how they’re doing! 🐾 Boarding & Doggy Day Care only: Although I have two cats of my own, your fur baby will stay in a separate room and will not have any contact with them. To keep every pet safe and healthy, I kindly ask that all boarding pets be up to date on vaccinations and deworming. :)

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 Glenwood 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 Glenwood 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Glenwood 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.
