About: I’ve always had pets of my own and have been caring for animals for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’m experienced with kittens, adult pets, and senior or medically complex animals, including providing around-the-clock hospice care for my own beloved cat after his ataxia diagnosis. I currently share my home with Leon, my one-year-old cat, and Chicken, my 26+ year-old African Grey parrot—both rescues (Chicken was found abandoned and taken in) and very loved. I love caring for pets—cats, dogs, and birds of all types and sizes—and I’m happy to welcome other small animals too, just let me know! I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I work from home and my schedule is flexible. My goal is always to schedule any services based on the needs of you and your pet(s). I will always follow any instructions on how you prefer your pet to be cared for. Otherwise, I will always care for them in the safest and healthiest way available. The same way I care for my own pets. Leon is an indoor kitty with unlimited access to fresh air and sunshine from his lounging cots attached to our large windows. He loves his wet food, and his meals are on a “flexible” schedule, and no all day grazing. He receives lots of playtime with his humans and more independently. Of course, he gets brushed, not always with a happy purr, but he gets as much as he will tolerate.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have volunteered at humane societies for a few years mainly as a dog kennel ambassador. I also have experience with bigger dogs, puppies, and senior dogs! In fact I have had a yorkie since he was a pup and a childhood dog of 15 years! I have taken care of bigger breeds such as husky/wolf mixes and very small dogs such as chihuahuas. Not only that I also have a cat! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I am a college student and have most days free expect for Tuesday and Thursdays after 12pm. Any other day I’m available so don’t be afraid to book! I only do drop-ins and walks but when I am in someone else’s home I make it a priority to be respectful of your space and make sure nothing is moved around or messed around with.

About: Trust your beloved pets to a mature, responsible adult. I enjoy a loyal following of repeat clientele because my clients understand that I can be trusted both with their beloved pets and with their homes. We can board up to two dogs at one time, but they must be from the same family home. I am a successful small business owner and I work out of my home. I live within convenient probity proximity to downtown Glendale and the 134 freeway. Each visiting dog may arrive with a bed, blanket, toys or anything else you think necessary for them to enjoy a sense of stability and security. If requested, we're happy to send updates, pictures and videos to assure you that all is well with your pet. Being away from a home can be a stressful situation for any pet, and we do our best to keep your pet calm and comfortable during their stay.

About: I have pets of my own. I see pets as part of family so the care I provide is same as for my fuzzy love bugs, lots of luv and snuggles and maybe some extra treats if permitted ;) I know what’s it like to be away from your fuzzy friends so I will provide regular updates if you wish so. Available on weekdays/ weekends- mostly flexible schedule. Can stay overnight if needed, available on holidays. Can stop by for short time to check on your pets, play with them and feed them. I am available to stop by, walk/feed and care for your dogs or cats. I am also available to stay overnight if you are traveling and need full time care for your pets.

About: As you can see in my photos, I am a HUGE animal lover. I have my dog, who I cherish more than anything on this earth, and had four pet rats(rest in peace). I have experience with cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, and a variety of different animals. I work with many different animal rescues & volunteer/donate regularly to help out as much as I can-I believe it is what I was born for. However, dogs have by far completely stolen my heart. I’ve owned dogs my entire life since I was a little girl and have only worked at dog grooming shops & stores. I have experience with dogs up to 150 pounds, I do not discriminate towards any dog, regardless of size or breed. I love them all. I love to surround myself with dogs, I think they are too pure for this world :+) It is a firm belief of mine that no client should ever have to worry about the care of their dogs while under a sitter’s watch, and I guarantee a wonderful, worry-free experience. I am currently unemployed and do not attend school, so I am available for 24/7 care if needed! I have my own pup to take care of, but my family takes care of her while i’m away :•) I know how to handle dogs very well & have lots of experience with dog trainers. As I can not bring any pets inside my own home, I can take all necessary precautions to make sure your pet is loved and cared for as if he/she were mine.

About: I've had 4 dogs of my own and shadowed at an animal hospital in college. Embarassing story: I used to talk to and sing to the animals that were recovering from surgeries. I considered vet school for several years before deciding on a different path. I love cats as well and have cared for several cats. But I love animals more than I can say. I work full time from home and I also take a few classes during the week. So my schedule is flexible and I have my own car. I live in an apartment in a very safe area. We have our own security and a prevalent police department. My area is very clean, dog friendly, and very safe to walk in, even at night. I do not have a yard so any dogs (especially larger dogs) need to be comfortable in an apartment.

About: Dear Pet Owners, I would like to tell you a little about me. I have been raised with pets my entire life (dogs, cats, monkey's, rabbit's etc.) As a teenager, my first job was working at a pet store, and in my early 20's I worked as a veterinary assistant for 5 years. To my family, pets ARE part of the family, so it's no surprise that I am a pet sitter. Even when I was a child, I would always bring home stray's, which we would end up adopting. With me, your fur baby will get TONS of attention, cuddles, scratches and play time depending on their energy and personality. Your dog’s comfort and enjoyment is my #1 priority. My job is to make sure that you have peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, comfortable, well-cared for and loved. You can rest assured that your babies are in the care of a qualified professional. I currently work from home and my kids are now older and doing their own thing. I have a lot of free time and love meeting and spending time with new fur babies. I am 53 year old mother of 3. Non-smoker, no drugs. I’ll do things just the way you ask me to and, if I'm staying a while, will leave your place nice and welcoming when you get back.

About: I grew up around dogs, spending my days playing with my family dog and knocking on my neighbors' doors to play with theirs, too. As an adult, I have pet/house sat for neighbors and friends alike. I am comfortable with a variety of temperaments and am looking to make some new furry friends. I would love to be your dog or cat's new friend! I am currently working in a part-time contract position and have a lot of freedom in my schedule to spend with your pet and attend to their needs. I take your trust and the safety of your pet very seriously. This includes following any provided schedules and routines, as well as ensuring the security of your home (locked doors and closed gates), so you can rest assured that both your home and your pet are safe.

About: I’m a caring and responsible person who loves all animals. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but between a full time job and traveling I wouldn’t want to leave my dog alone for so long. So for now I get my dog fix by hanging out with everyone else’s! Over the years I’ve watched and walked my friends dogs. I’ve mostly cared for small to medium sized dogs, but open to meeting larger dogs too! I’ve taken care of dogs with different personalities. Bean, my longest fury friend who I’ve watched grow up for about 4 years, feeding him, walking him and giving him attention when he wanted it. I’ve enjoyed the many hours we’ve spent just sitting on the couch watching tv together. I’ve also watched energetic dogs like Squid, who is my coworkers dog and let me tell you, he loves attention! If you don’t give it to him, he will keep barking at you. I’ve also cared for senior dogs. Like my cousins adorable dog Ketchup, who loves naps and walks. There was a weekend where I had to take care of him while my cousin was away. They had him on a schedule. I had to make sure he received his medications at certain times, took him out for small walks, and fed him at certain times. I’ve also cared for Dandy, who was also a senior dog that had walking issues. I would put her in a wagon to take her outside so that she could enjoy some fresh air. It was my friend’s family dog and she would let me take Dandy to work with me so that she wasn’t home alone. I would put a blanket next to my desk so that she could relax on. She was such a sweet dog! Wether your dog wants to go out for a walk, play or just cuddle on the couch, I would love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the same care and attention I would want for my own dog. Until I’m ready to become a dog mom, I’m happy to become the neighborhood dog auntie! I’m currently working a full time job during the week, but available all day on Saturday and Sunday to walk your dog or dogs. I’ll take good care of your dog on our walks. I’ll make sure to keep a good distance from other dogs. If the ground is too hot to walk your dog, I will recommend scheduling in the evening when the ground becomes cooler so that they don’t burn their paws. If you would like photos of your dog while we are on a walk, I would be happy to provide photos.

About: I am a dog mama to a 13 year old chihuahua who I've had the pleasure of caring for throughout every era of her life. Before that I cared for our family dog until his passing at the age of 18. I love pets of all ages, but find caring for senior animals to be a particular honor. Our pets bring so much joy to our lives and my goal as a pet sitter is to provide comfort, care and love to all animals. Especially while there human counterparts are out of town. As a pet mama, I understand the importance of sharing updates and communicating with my fellow pet parents! Btw I work from home so if I'm watching your babies, I'll be with them most of the time. I work as a freelance fashion designer and stylist, so as long as we discuss scheduling ahead of time, I will be very available to care for your pets! At this time I am only taking on clients with pets who are okay with me bringing my dog along. My pets practically run my household and I build my work and social schedule around whatever my pets may need!! While caring for my clients home/pets I make sure to provide all fur babies with the love and affection they not only require, but deserve. I implement enrichment practices such as walks or playtime as well as whatever each individual pet parent requests.

Rachael is the absolute BEST! I feel so grateful that we found her. I'd call her my cat’s bestie, and honestly I think my cat, Lucy, has grown from having Rachael in her life. We were away for a longer trip this time, and I came home feeling like Lucy hadn’t just been “looked after” — she had been loved, played with, engaged with, and genuinely nurtured. She seems more confident and playful, and I really believe all of that attention and interaction was good for her. Rachael has a wonderful way of connecting with Lucy and bringing out more of her personality. Rachael is also the best at communicating. I loved getting her updates and always knew how Lucy was doing. We even had some unexpected complications with access to our building while we were away, and Rachael was so steady and flexible through all of it. I never once worried about her reliability or about Lucy being in good hands. It is SUCH a gift to travel and know that someone you completely trust is caring for your animal — and even more of a gift to come home feeling like your cat had a wonderful experience too. I can’t recommend Rachael highly enough.

Nikki is a thoughtful, communicative, and kind person and cat sitter! After our initial meet-and-greet, we felt very comfortable booking her for a drop-in visit with our cat, Susie. During the meet-and-greet, Nikki took her time getting acquainted with Susie and immediately made us feel at ease. On the day of the visit, Nikki was on time, sent us several great photos, and left an incredibly detailed and reassuring update. She patiently let Susie warm up to her, gave her treats and affection, and even spent time with her outside on our patio, despite getting attacked by mosquitoes in the process! 😂 We especially appreciated how observant she was. She noticed a brief change in Susie’s breathing, gave her some space, made sure it stopped, and let us know about it afterward. That kind of attentiveness means a lot when someone else is caring for your pet. She even put on some jazz for Susie before leaving and set it on a timer so she’d have a little company afterward. We highly recommend her!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - North Glendale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

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.
