About: I have been watching family and friends animals since I was 12. Always my passion, I have spent walking shelter dogs for Regional Animal Shelter of King County, which fed my soul. I love animals and I will go above and beyond so that your fur baby feels all of your love when you're gone. I don’t work at all so I’m available just about anytime. I would have my son with me. I pick up my other son from school around 11:40 so in between that and after I’m available. I live in a double wide trailer with lots of space and a beautiful big yard. I could also crate them if needed. My kids are very gental with dogs as well and they love to play!
“Penny did an amazing job with our anxious rescue dog. She was patient and let Lucy approach her in her own time and went above and beyond to make Lucy feel safe and secure. We will definitely be requesting her for future jobs. Thanks, Penny!”
“Jordynn was an amazing house sitter and wonderful with our two large dogs and two cats while we were away. She was very communicative, reliable and our animals loved her. We will definitely contact Jordynn again in the future.”
“Cessily is amazing! Our dog can be challenging but we were actually able to relax while we were away because it was so obvious that she was in good hands. Cessily was excellent at communicating with us during the trip and her patience with our dog’s quirks was really appreciated. We can’t wait to have another reason to ask her to stay with our dog!”
“I definitely would recommend Bronwen! She communicated well and took such great care of my pets and house. I loved receiving pictures of my animals throughout her stay.”
“This was my first experience with Rover and actually my first time being away from my dog Niko. I was so fortunate to have Amanda accept the house sitting and dog watching opp! Could tell right away that she's a kind and honest person and perfect to spend some time with Niko. Amanda's communication was top-notch and she answered all of my questions. During her time with Niko she sent me lots of photos and videos of all the adventures from the weekend! Niko split the time between Amanda's house and mine and when I got home the house was super clean. Amanda went above and beyond and I look forward to working with her again. Niko def misses her and the weekend experiences.”
“Brandon did a great job caring for my Golden Retriever! He sent lots of photos and was very communicative throughout the whole time I was gone. I came home to a tidy house and a happy dog. Will definitely use him again!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and rabbits. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and companionship. I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine. Since I’m home throughout most of the day, your pet will receive dependable care, companionship, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines so your pet feels secure and at ease. I keep doors and gates secured, use a leash whenever required, and provide close supervision during every visit. I will also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet and home are being treated with care and respect.
“Megan did a great job of taking care of Sadie, my high energy Australian Shepherd! She also was a wonderful communicator, responding promptly to any texts and setting me at ease by sending lots of pictures of my spoiled girl! I have already re-booked Megan for our next getaway.”
“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”
“Taylor looked after our three furry hooligans while we took a trip out of state. She was kind, responsive, and always kept us updated with pictures of pups, who were happy and well taken when we got back. Would absolutely recommend to others and would love to have her watch our dogs again.”
“Daria did a great job looking after my Frenchie! She truly loves and cares for animals and pays attention to details. She even stayed on to make sure my pup did not have to wait too long for us returning from airport. My house was left neat and I received regular photos and updates! Will definitely book Daria again”
About: Since I was a child my family has had pets in the home. When I was 9 my sister and I collaborated to earn ourselves a kitten and since then pet care has been an important part of my life both the cuddly and the smelly. Most of my experience is with cats, I have one myself who is a total sweetheart once she gets comfortable. I’ve watched over and managed multiple cat households, senior cats, outdoor cats, and cats that have required oral medication. I also have experience watching over dogs, taking them out when needed, playing with them to help tire them out. I am comfortable walking dogs big and small, I am not professionally trained but know I can hold my own when needed. I’m currently between jobs so have plenty of time to care for your pets! Available all hours of the day and night, and I can be flexible with new jobs or cancellations. I have experience house sitting so I understand that it’s often about more than just taking care of your pets but also ensuring that your home is safe and well kept. People I’ve sit for can attest that I do my best to ensure everything is in its place and to make the space at least as clean as it was originally.
“Heather was beyond perfect! She was the best pet sitter I’ve ever had and I can’t say enough good things about her! I’m so incredibly grateful for how good she was with my dogs! She spent a lot of time with them and walked them 3 times a day which was exactly what I wanted! She helped my anxious dogs feel happy and loved! She sent many updates and followed my food instructions to an T! She sent many pictures which was amazing!! She even did the dishes I left in the sink! Just fantastic! If you need a sitter pick Heather! You won’t be disappointed!! 1000000/10 recommend!!”

If I could give Taylor a bonus 6th star, I would! She is a stellar sitter. She shows up on time, send tons of great pictures and updates without being too chatty OR too little info, and is a great communicator. She proactively let me know when supplies were running out and needed a restock. More than anything though, when she didn't have experience giving insulin injections, she was happy to learn and took it on like a pro! I was so impressed how she jumped in with both feet and a positive attitude. While I was away, a neighbor texted me they had spotted my dog on a walk with her and he looked "happy as a clam!" Sure enough, when I came home, my typically anxious dog was relaxed and content. I know she took fantastic care of him and can't wait to book her again!
Addie was fantastic. She stayed at my home for 15 days watching Freddie and Purrl, and honestly the communication alone made the whole trip stress-free. She sent regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how they were doing — I just knew. Came home to two happy, well-cared-for animals and a house left in great shape. Addie was respectful of my space the entire time, which matters a lot when someone's living in your home. Would book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter they can actually trust while they're away.

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.
