Beth is so great with my 2 dogs. She sends pictures and tells me how their day is going. She also communicates any problems that arise. Beth is very easy to work with and follows all the instructions for the care of the house and pets. I really appreciate the way she takes care of everything!

Faith did a great job taking care of my two babies while I was in the city for a day. She shared updates, photos, and asked questions to ensure she was providing the best care.

Very sweet girl with a kind heart for pitties, took good care of my senior girls as well as following instructions to be able to give my girls the care they need, especially when I wasn't home. Would definitely re-book with her

Isabelle was great! She sent amazing pictures & my pets were so happy when I got home. As a fellow Rover sitter, I struggle to find sitters who go the extra mile the way I do - but I have a friend in her :)

Alex worked with our one dog who was nervous around him at first. He spent a lot of time at our house with our two dogs while we were on vacation. When we came back our dogs were tired and happy.

Jillian was amazing! She was so attentive and loving with our pups. They absolutely loved her. We even had some last minute changes to our plans and Jillian was more than happy to accommodate. She gave us such peace of mind knowing our pups were in great hands! We will definitely be booking her again in the future.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 including my hound and lab for the last 9 years. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and use dog walks as exercise. I’m flexible, patient and detail-oriented. I’m attending graduate school in the fall and spring with lots of availability in the summer. During the school year, my schedule varies but most of my evenings are free. I will go over any specific instructions with you prior to walks or pet sitting. I am happy to discuss any concerns or special needs!

Highly recommend Kortney! Leaving my pup for a week is never easy, but she made the entire experience stress-free! She treated my dog like her own and provided regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I got home, I could tell she had been happy, loved, and exceptionally well cared for. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Kortney provided and will absolutely book with her again. ❤️🐾

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats previously. One little chihuahua back and a cat back when I lived with my parents and recently took care of a big dog back in Washington as well as another cat on my own recently. I'm good with animals, understand when they need to be fed and how much attention they need to keep them happy. I keep a clean apartment and have good space for them to move around. I prefer to be called in advance but am willing to take pets on the same day. If they are dropped during weekdays, I get off at 4pm usually. I like to give a consistent schedule for feeding. I give many walks for any dogs I'm watching. I have two towers for cats. There's a lot of room in the apartment complex to walk dogs and a park close by. I have two cats, so I would prefer to take care of dogs/cats that are known to get along with others.

Maya did an outstanding job for us. She accepted a last minute request, which included a 6-day stay at our home while we were out of town on vacation. She connected very well with our 72 pound medium Bernedoodle, giving him lots of attention and care. Everything went smoothly and she remained focused and supportive to the end, even when our return flight was delayed by 3 hours. Thanks again Maya.

What an absolute gem!!! I have 2 Belgian Malinois, a can and fish. Tanya was such a amazing sitter. Our older mal he can be an anxious fella and can sometimes intimidate people but not Tanya! She was a dog whisperer. She stayed overnight for 3 nights and not only helped with keeping my critters safe but also the home. She treated my home like her home and with respect. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. TRUST HER WITH YOUR FAMILY. My pets mean the world to me and they trusted and loved her from the moment they met. She was consistent with providing updated and pictures. Already a loyal client to her with only just 1 booking. 10000/10 rating. Coming from an anxious mom I highly reccomend.

Noemi was great at communicating and providing updates while we were gone! Our dog is typically skeptical of new people, but warmed up to her immediately in a way we rarely see. She was willing to do a meet and greet before staying with our pup which put us at easy. I would definitely user her again.

Karina is truly the best! She provided immaculate care for our senior dog. I have no doubt that Lilly felt safe and loved with Karina while we traveled. Karina provides multiple updates and pictures throughout her stay. She is also extremely responsive to any messages or questions. We will absolutely be booking with Karina again to watch our senior gal!

Sarah took care of our cat for four days at our house while we were away. He has to be given medication at certain times during the day and also loves human attention. Sarah was caring and responsible, spent time hanging out with him, and made sure he got his meals and medicine at the right times. She also checked in with us, asked good questions, and responded quickly when we checked in with her. We hope to hire Sarah again, and highly recommend her for petsitting and housesitting.

TIffany was a Great pet/house sitter in every dimension. She was clearly attentive to our cat in terms of caring and in sharing information. She was equally caring of our home in numerous ways. I would definitely employ her again and, thus, recommend her to others.

FAQs for House Sitting - Green Oaks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Green Oaks on Rover is $28.89 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,062 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Green Oaks. 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 Green Oaks 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 Green Oaks 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 Green Oaks 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Green Oaks. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
