“Adam was a wonderful house/dog sitter. We have very timid and anxious dogs, and Adam displayed patience and kindness throughout our booking with him. He gave regular updates, and sent pictures of our dogs while we were out of town. Highly recommend his services. Thank you Adam!”
“Brandy was awesome yet again! We will be sorry to see her move away, but are grateful that our girl had such a great sitter. Our dog was happy and healthy and our home was just as we left it. Thanks for everything!”
“She has taken great care of my puppy. He is a husky, high energy, and wants all of the attention all the time. She even handled a mess in his kennel. I appreciate knowing he's in such good hands!”
“We left both our dogs with Finley for a week while we were out of town and came home to happy dogs and an amazingly clean home. Finley is friendly, responsible, and he was very flexible with a few unexpected issues that came up while we were away. We would absolutely have him stay with our pups again.”
“Marla took wonderful care of our 3 dogs and a client’s dog while we were gone all day. One of our dogs can be a bit difficult due to his separation anxiety but she did a great job with him. I can tell she loves dogs and it seemed like they all enjoyed her company. She was very attentive to all our instructions and we would happily have her watch them again!”
“I'm a pet sitter myself so I can tell when someone cares about pets and takes good care of them. Amy was amazing with our babies. She always stayed in communication, sent many pictures, and made sure our babies had all their medications and food on time. She's a very sweet person and I will definitely be choosing her again in the future.”
“Ariana did a great job with my fur babies! Love that she has experience with Rotties as well. We will definitely be booking with her again! She was responsive through the whole time and sent plenty of pictures. Loved the peace of mind that my babies were being well taken care of. Thanks Ariana!”
About: I've cared for animals since childhood, looking after pets for both friends and family. I grew up with dogs and have lived with roommates who owned both cats and dogs, often caring for their pets while they were away. Additionally, I've provided regular care for large-breed dogs, including a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Newfoundland. These experiences have prepared me to provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. I currently have a very flexible work schedule, so I am able to work in dog walks and/or other pet care into my schedule every day of the week. I will always take the upmost care with every pet entrusted to me. I follow instructions precisely and always prioritize each animal's safety. My goal is to make every animal feel safe and comfortable while in my care.
About: Im a lifelong dog lover with four dogs of my own. Active, reliable, flexible, and experienced with puppies. I’ll treat your pup like family. I work for myself, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to provide your dog with attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks and companionship. I’m unable to host other dogs in my home because I have four dogs of my own, but I’m happy to provide care through walks, drop-ins, and house sitting.
“Dana is a real pro! We had her house sit with our two dogs for a week, and she was so amazing. Her attention to detail in advance, asking us questions we weren’t even thinking about, made us so comfortable leaving the dogs at home. She was very responsive with our questions as we were away, and was very capable to handle things that popped up, sending us just a few clarifying questions as we were away. She was a fabulous house guest as well, and left the place spotless upon her departure. We are excited to know that we have a trusted caretaker for our pets whenever we are away!! Thanks Dana!!!”
“Chelsea cared for my small senior female dog over a holiday weekend. Unfortunately my dog was scared but Chelsea didn’t stop thinking of ways to get her comfortable as well as communicating with me frequently.”
About: I have always loved animals! I have taken care of many animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and types!! Anything you need I can do and will do happily! I am completely available during the entire week I would just have to work around my classes which I have very large breaks in between each for! Whenever I am petsitting I always leave the house cleaner than I found it, and make sure the pets are fed and have clean water and have been taken out and used the bathroom
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and am passionate about their well-being. In addition to caring for my own dog, Archie for the past three years, I also foster dogs through two local rescue organizations, including medical-case dogs that require extra patience, attention, and care. I graduated from Oregon State University in 2021 and earned my master’s degree from USC in 2025. I work fully remote from my home in Eugene, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether you’re looking for drop-in visits, house sitting, or boarding, I want to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My dog is incredibly friendly and enjoys meeting new furry friends. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were my own! I work remote full time 8-4. I usually have only 1-2 meetings a day and am available to play/walk at lunch and take breaks for meal times! Your pet would be supervised all day! I have a fully fenced back yard and a friendly dog to keep your pup company! I can also crate your pup at whatever times you like to keep a routine! If I’m caring for pets in your home I’ll follow your exact routine, be with your pet all day, and keep your house clean!
“We had an excellent experience with Jade. Responded quickly and was very easy going. Our animals adored her and she kept our house orderly. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“Jourdan was fantastic and very flexible with our needs. She sent very thorough updates and photos of our fur babies, which we really appreciated. She also left our home exactly how we left it, which was appreciated but not necessary. Our dogs seemed to love her too! Thank you, Jourdan!”

Linda was great! She arrived on time and took excellent care of our three dogs, including our two young puppies. She paid close attention to detail and followed our specific feeding instructions, which we really appreciated. She also made sure to walk our older dog as requested and kept us updated with pictures throughout the day. It was reassuring knowing our dogs were in good hands. We were so happy with her care that we've already booked Linda to come back and watch our gang again! Thank you, Linda!
Sarah spent two weeks house sitting our three charges, including an elderly terrier who is less than cooperative around new people. Everyone was in great shape when we returned and the house looked like it did when we left. We will definitely use Sara again, when needed.
We left both our dogs with Finley for a week while we were out of town and came home to happy dogs and an amazingly clean home. Finley is friendly, responsible, and he was very flexible with a few unexpected issues that came up while we were away. We would absolutely have him stay with our pups again.
Absolutely wonderful experience with Caitlin! She went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier! Her communication was fantastic. She was professional, thoughtful and a great house sitter overall. Most importantly, all of our dogs and cats were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Caitlin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!
Madison was a fantastic sitter for our pups. We received updates daily and she gave us peace of mind. She was also an excellent communicator from the first interaction until the end of the stay. We came home and the house was in order and best of all we had very happy pups. Thank you for caring for pups, we appreciate you.
Jackson has watched my pup twice now, and he is such an awesome person! He sends me lots of updates and is so kind and flexible. I know my dog gets a bit disappointed when I come home because I am definitely more boring 😅 I am so grateful for your services and love, and I hope to see you again!
Jamilah is so sweet and very capable! She won over our anxious Aussie/lab mix right away and got her out for lots of walks and ball throwing. She also charmed the kitties who sat in the box to watch her do puzzles. The house was clean when we returned and she has been super easy to work with. We really appreciate her housesitting and pet care!!
Ellis took great care of my kitty and was able to even book last minute! We came home from vacation to a relaxed super happy kitty. Ellis sent lots of photos and even put on some nature documentaries for our kitty to watch, which is her favorite. Would love to have Ellis come kitty sit for us again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glenwood is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $63 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.

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.
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 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 , 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.
