“We used Taryn for a drop-in visit for a weekend trip; we have an older dog who doesn't like boarding at our vet. She is a little particular and Taryn was very patient with her and sent us photos. We will be using her for a longer vacation later this summer. Thanks for everything, Taryn!”

About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.

“Heather was such a great dog sitter. I had her to drop in visits to let my dogs out and check in on them. One of my dogs had a tougher time and she went out of her way to keep me in the loop on what was going on when I was out of town. Thanks Heather!”

About: What sets me apart is my background as a teacher, which brings patience, reliability, and strong communication skills to every pet-walking experience. I also have 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own special needs Great Dane, giving me a deep understanding of large breeds and pets with unique requirements. I treat every animal like family and always go the extra mile to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a work from home teacher, my schedule becomes much more flexible during the summer, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and energy to pet care. I love incorporating it into my routine; it’s a rewarding way to stay active, spend time with animals, and provide dependable, thoughtful care when pet owners need it most. I am strictly just walking dogs at the moment. But my dog is treated like family and that’s the same way I would treat your dog. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, and affection. I’m attentive to pet’s needs, whether that’s exercise, or extra cuddle time, or maybe a break for water. I follow any specific instructions from owners, and ensure pets feel secure and loved while they’re with me.

“Janette was amazing, 10/10 recommend her! She accepted my last minute booking on a very busy weekend, communicating quickly and kindly to coordinate the drop-in. She did an amazing job of communicating before, during, & after the drop-in even when I wasn't able to promptly answer her. Janette even went above & beyond - going out on a limb to greet my very scared cats with treats!”

About: Please note a rate increase due to significant increase in sitter fees. I'm Jenni! I am a huge doggie lover and love children. I have 10+ years of experience working with dogs, including special needs and senior dogs. I also have 10+ years of working with children. I have a lot of patience. I have 2 dogs., Zoe, a Shih Tzu Maltese and Shuri a Cockapoo. I make sure that I am flexible with the needs of the fur babies I care for. I establish a routine that works well for everyone. While I do work, I am not far away and someone is usually home to give potty breaks mid day. I pride myself on working with families to make sure everyone is happy and ensure that extra snuggles and 1 on 1 is given if I am boarding multiple dogs. I have a secure fenced in backyard to allow your fur baby to get their zoomies out. I know how to properly secure your fur baby within their harness, collar and leash. If there is an animal that requires special needs or care (i.e. needing to be let out or walked alone) I practice proper safety ensuring that no one is hurt. I take the time to get to know each fur baby that comes through my doors ensuring their needs are met. On the occasion that I need to step out I will ensure they are safe in an XXL crate, or the crate you provide. I do NOT provide care to specific breeds, including but not limited to, pit bulls, bullies, Rottweiler, German shepherds, Cane Corsos, Presa Canarios, ASTs, etc. I work a FT teacher but with that comes a teacher schedule! I'm flexible and have several off days, such as holidays, which allows me the flexibility to care for your babies during peak seasons. We have a fenced in yard that is secured by 2 locked gates. I like to go off of a similar, if not the same routine that they are used to. I send lots of pictures and videos and try to have mini photoshoots of your babies if they allow! :). We treat every fur baby as our own so much they never want to leave.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Glenwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 10,582 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Glenwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glenwood. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
