“Adam was great and we felt very good about leaving our pups with him! Didn’t have to worry 1 time being out of town and he took care of them great and kept us up to date on everything. Will rebook again for sure!”
“Caralisa dealt with senior dog meds and walks with no issues. She updated me on how things were going, and did not leave a messy house. I would definitely use her again!”
“Mahalia was the perfect sitter. She went above and beyond to take care of our pets and we couldn’t be anymore grateful. She was very communicative and understanding about the needs of our pets and we loved having her. I would trust her with your babies any day of the week :)”
“Rosa is a fantastic house sitter and cat sitter. She went above and beyond to care for my cat and take care of my home. I felt at ease the whole time I was away.”
“Destiny is great! She stayed with my dog, Sasha, for five days in my home. Everyday she provided an update and pictures which was so nice to know that everything was going well. Destiny also has great communication and responds quickly. I so appreciate the wonderful care she provided to Sasha. Will definitely be booking Destiny in the future!”
“Sydnee did such a great job with my dog! She accommodated for his anxiety and was also super flexible for my crazy schedule. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much Sydnee!”
“Cayla was awesome! Our plans shifted a little bit as we were navigating travel with our little one, and she was very accommodating. I could tell our pup was happy and well take care of. Our house was exactly how we left it when we returned- so helpful!”
“All of our animals - 3 Labradors and two cats - love Kelsie!! She took good care of them while house sitting during our 10 day vacation. She was great about communicating and sending photos, and we never had to worry. As a bonus, we returned to an immaculate home, as if just cleaned by a professional service. We will for sure use her again.”
“Brandy is wonderful. She took great care of our energetic, ornery goldendoodle. When we got home we found a tidy house and a well cared for pup. Brandy helped we new puppy parents feel comfortable leaving our puppy which we have only done a handful of times since bringing him into our family. Brandy is Séamus’ new best friend. Thank you Rover.com and Brandy - you get an A plus from us!!!”
“Alivia did an amazing job with my reactive, 60 lb Old English Sheepdog. Willa took to her immediately, which is rare and means she has the BEST vibes. She stayed with Willa in our apartment while I was out of state, gave regular updates, wasn’t afraid to ask questions, and I arrived home to a happy, healthy sheepdog and a clean apartment.”
“Dani is amaaaaaazing. I have a super shy cat who I knew would most likely hide the whole time and a couple birds who live in my office/a separate room… and she was super flexible and helpful when I realized my cat might need more space and time to eat since she hides when new people are around without me there. Super kind, professional and a good person all around. In the middle of a move and even with boxes/my home in the stages of moving, Dani made everything so simple and seamless while I was gone. I so appreciate her and highly recommend this fabulous fur (& feathered) family professional!”
“Amy was great! Stayed at my house with two Springers who are used to me being there all the time because I work from home. They settled right in with Amy and she kept them company. Sent pictures and updates.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Jamilah house sitting and caring for my 7 month old puppy. She sent lots of photos and updates and stuck to my dog’s schedule! Everything was left clean and tidied up. Thank you, Jamilah!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid and I have a dog and cat of my own that I care deeply for. I have looked after pets that range from puppies to seniors. I am attentive to the needs of pets and I look forward to providing care for your fuzzy friends! I am a college student with a light schedule so I have lots of availability to spend taking care of your animals! Mornings and afternoons are generally pretty free. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect your space and follow your instructions exactly. I maintain their regular routine for feeding, walking, and any medications, and I send regular updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing. I aim to keep your pet relaxed and stress free while you're away!
“Madeline was wonderful! Our dog is nervous meeting new people, but Madeline was patient while he warmed up to her. We received daily updates of our dog having a great time playing, going for walks, and doing his usual routine. We came home to a happy dog and tidy house. Highly recommend!”
About: I love dogs, and can't wait to meet yours! I will closely follow your instructions to provide the kind of care I would expect for my own dog. I'm willing to work with you and your schedule. I'm a firm believer in the power of clear communication and honesty. You can expect regular updates, lots of love, attention, and with permission, a moderate amount of treats. My fenced yard is sufficient for pee breaks and I'm in a great location to walk over to local parks for number twos and exercise. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you, and meeting your dog! I'm looking forward to spending my days off with your dog! I'm especially interested in long walks with chill dogs. Always positively reinforcing good behavior with praise, attention, and play. I have a fenced yard. I'm willing to spend lots of time with your dog, doing whatever it is they love to do. My availability is my weekends so that dogs in my care will not be left alone.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenwood
Jamilah has become our go-to and absolute favorite dog sitter. Our pups love her, she has impressed our neighbors with her friendly and outgoing nature, and she is fastidious about cleaning up after house/dog sitting. She’s communicative, sends updates with pictures, and just all around fantastic. The only down side is that she’s so great that it won’t be long before she’s in very high demand! Regardless, we will definitely be hiring her every chance we get.
Elora really helped us out when our previous sitter was beyond disappointing. It means so much to have someone love your pets when you are away. We feel very confident in her abilities to take care of our babies like we would. Will for sure reach out to her again!
Kelsie does an amazing job with the dogs and the house. She went above and beyond and we are so pleased we found her. We are VERY PICKY about our house and even more particular about our fur babies. We were overseas and felt very at ease having her in charge of both our home and our two dogs. Kelsie is one of the best!!
Lauren was excellent! She communicated daily, sent photos, and seemed to genuinely connected with our girl Boots. Our pup had some activity restrictions the weekend she was watching her, and Lauren took lots of our suggestions, kept Boots mentally stimulated, and accommodated amazingly. She also left the apartment spotless when we arrived home! Will definitely book again and recommend Lauren. :)
Emily was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! She was incredibly accommodating when we reached out with a last-minute request and did a fantastic job watching them in our home. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly gave our dogs lots of love and attention. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. We really appreciate Emily helping us out on such short notice and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
Landen was amazing! Monty was so comfortable with her and she made the whole experience really easy. She took great care of him, and was clearly very attentive and caring. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands while we were away. She was also reliable, friendly, and easy to communicate with. We’d love to work with Landen again and very highly recommend her.
Jennifer did an exceptional job at watching all three of our pets for 12 days. She house sat in our apartment and had to walk our two dogs every day. She even routinely sat outside with her cat so that she could explore the backyard. She’s incredibly reliable and was very concerned about making sure my expectations were clear to her. We would book with Jennifer again in a heartbeat. Our animals love her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Glenwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glenwood on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 641 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glenwood. 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 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 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
