“Melissa is THE BEST. I cannot say enough amazing things about her and her ability to care for an animal. As we all know, our pets are our babies and she resonates with that! I received numerous photos AND videos of my pup every single day. She took time to take him to his favorite store and let him pick out a toy. Melissa has been my biggest blessing and BEST EXPERIENCE through this app and I couldn’t recommend her enough! I did not have a single worry while I was away on my trip! Thank you, Melissa, for having such a big heart for fur babies!!!! 🩵🩵”
“By far the BEST experience we have had on Rover! She loved and cared for our boy like her own. She communicated very well and left our home better than she found it. There was not a moment that I was worried or stressed about my home our my baby. We will never use another dog sitter as long as she is available and willing. I could not recommend her enough!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of many ages, personalities, and needs. I currently care for three Yorkies of my own, ages 6, 4, and 1, which has taught me a lot about patience, routines, playtime, and giving each pet individual attention. I also have experience caring for a senior dog with diabetes, including administering insulin shots and making sure he received the care and attention he needed. I’ve cared for my brother’s Lab, Rex, as well as dogs, cats, and chickens while helping care for my sister’s animals. I’ve also cared for my brother’s cat and have experience caring for chinchillas, rabbits, and ducks. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat every animal in my care with patience, kindness, love, and the same attention I would want for my own pets. I work as a life insurance representative with WoodmenLife, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around pet care and accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I treat my pets like family—and yes, I’m definitely the person who talks to them like they understand every word! I believe pets deserve love, patience, attention, and a safe environment where they can be themselves. When caring for your pet, I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or just want to cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for like one of my own.
“Cayman was AMAZING with our Ruby!! She was sweet and accommodating, and we really appreciated her willingness to stay at our house and care for Ruby while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing Ruby could stay in her own environment. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter that your dog will LOVE!!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've had pets since I was little and have spent years caring for dogs, cats. My love for animals is what inspired me to start completing my prerequisites for veterinary school. I've also had the opportunity to work in a veterinary clinic, ongoing for three and a half years, where I have gained hands-on experience caring for animals and learning even more about their health and well-being. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know each pet's personality and building trust with both them and their owners. I have experience in administering medications both orally and by injection, caring for senior dogs who need a little extra patience, attention, and gentle handling. I also know how to groom, including bathing, brushing, nail trimming, and basic haircuts to help keep pets clean, comfortable, and looking their best. Whether your pet loves to play, prefers quiet cuddles, or just needs someone dependable to stick to their routine, I'll care for them like they're part of my own family.

I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I'll always do my best to accommodate your pet's routine.

We had to take a quick overnight trip and Cara was AMAZING! She took such great care of our boy Kapone. Most definitely one of the best sitter experiences we have had. She left our home better than she found it and treated our boy as her own. We will definitely be using her again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 86 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gluckstadt. 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 Gluckstadt 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 Gluckstadt 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 Gluckstadt 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.
