“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“I’m so lucky to have found Cynthia. She was a fantastic house-sitter for my dog and bunnies, and was very communicative. I received lots of daily updates with pictures, which really eased my mind and made it so I could enjoy my vacation. I could tell my pets were very happy. She also paid close attention to each of them and let me know if anything was off. Even when my dog was being stubborn some of the days, she handled him very well. Will definitely use Cynthia again!”
“Max was very dependable and prompt with any last minute needs that we needed help with. He was very pleasant work with and left the house in perfect condition and cleaned up when he left.”
“Ella did a fantastic job watching our fur babies. Her attention to detail to the specific instructions was AWESOME! She kept us informed the entire time communicating via text messages along with numerous photos of our pets' activities. We could not have asked for any higher level of service! We look forward to using her services in the future as we now confidently know our pets are being cared for at an extraordinary level while we are away! We highly recommend hiring Ella as your next pet sitter!”
“Mae was amazing!! She stayed with my two kitties for 5 days and they were well taken care of during that time. They sent me daily pictures and kept in contact and promptly responded back when I sent a text. It was such a relief having someone to depend on when out of town. Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!”
“Jasmine was such a blessing and truly met my needs and expectations. She took really good care of Bear while I was gone, playing ball, making sure he had his meds, and fed him each day. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone that LOVES animals!”
“Jessica watched our dogs for the first time this past weekend and she did a wonderful job. She was up front with her work schedule which was not a problem for us and our dogs. She was very communicative and provided us updates and photos daily. If she needed to run home or be away from the dogs for additional time outside of her work, she communicated that with us which was great. The house was in perfect condition when we got home and she went beyond to help bring our packages and mail inside the house while we were gone. We have already booked her for another visit with the dogs next month.”

“Abigail watched our Lola overnight and it was very clear Lola had a great sleepover! I highly recommend Abigail for walks or overnights. Knowing our puppy was in her hands made our time away from home made it a worry free trip!”
About: I’ve loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I started helping take care of my family dog at age seven, and over the years my experience has grown to include a wide variety of pets, from chickens and tortoises to rabbits. Each has taught me something different about patience, attentiveness, and individualized care. I currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with the day-to-day needs, personalities, and quirks that come with feline care. What sets me apart is the combination of this lifelong, hands-on experience and my medical training. As a medical student, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and comfort with administering medications when needed. I’m very attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy, and I understand how important it is to follow care instructions closely. I also have experience caring for senior pets. I had a cat who lived to 20+, so I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and consistency older animals need. Whether your pet is young and energetic or requires a slower, more thoughtful approach, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times! I’m currently in my fourth year of medical school and have completed my core clinical rotations, which gives me a lot of flexibility and free time. I can easily accommodate regular visits, walks, or extended care throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet’s needs are consistently met. I understand how important companionship and routine are for pets, and I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment whether in my home or yours. I use Rover myself to ensure my cats stay happy and cared for when I’m away, so I know what it’s like to provide peace of mind for both pets and their owners. I follow all instructions closely, supervise playtime, and make sure each pet feels secure and loved.
About: My experience with animals comes from caring for pets throughout my life, including my own dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, such as feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I’ve also helped care for kittens from birth, which gave me hands-on experience with young animals and taught me the importance of patience, cleanliness, observation, and consistency. I understand that every pet is different, and I make an effort to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs rather than treating every animal the same. Besides my taking care of my own pets my time is free I’m currently unemployed just a full time pet mom and wouldn’t mind taking care of other pets like my own I Have family that helps me take care of my pets at home if needed I also make sure my pets have everything they need when I leave according to how long I will be gone so no need to bring them with me
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my 4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, helping them with training, as well as senior dogs, providing extra attention for their needs. I treat every dog as part of my family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their parents are away. I dedicate time each day to walks, feeding, play, and attention, ensuring dogs get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. On a weekly basis, I plan activities like longer walks, training, if needed! I care for pets in my client’s home, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Care varies based on the service and each pet’s individual needs, but typically includes feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication if required, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, keep the home tidy, and provide updates so clients feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away.
“Paige did a great job with the house and 3 dogs for a week long assignment. I especially appreciated that she took out the trash and started the dishwasher before she left! I would recommend Paige to anyone needing someone to housesit with their dogs. Thanks Paige!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a dog or cat in my home! I have a Boxer who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention pets need at every stage of life. As he’s gotten older, he’s settled into his own routines, but he’s still just as loving and energetic as ever! He also experiences anxiety, which has taught me how to recognize signs of stress, provide comfort, and administer medication when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I’m a full-time college student, but my class schedule is flexible, with some later classes and earlier days. I’m happy to work my schedule around your pet’s needs and am willing to commute to campus in the mornings so I can provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. I’m committed to following your instructions and caring for your pets just like I would my own pup! I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, so I’ll do my best to keep their routines consistent while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding time, walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands! 🤍
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve been taking care of pets for over 15 years, including my own pets and pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with different types of dogs and cats, their personalities, routines, and individual needs. I’m dependable, patient, and easygoing, and I’ll make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel comfortable and safe. I'm currently working full time, I am available to sit weekends and nights. I can also do weekdays, I would stop by before work at 8:30am and come back after I get out at 4:30pm. I can also stay nights if that's preferred. Your pets safety and comfort always come first. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can relax and feel at home. I’m respectful of each pets personality and routine, and I take the time to earn their trust. You can feel confident knowing your pets are in dependable hands and getting the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.
About: I am a reliable and patient person I have a lifelong connection to dogs. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, with a flexible schedule, I'm just 5 minutes from home so I can take my lunch break to give your fur baby a potty break. Perfectly! I do work full - time, with a very flexible schedule I'm just 5 minutes from home so if I need to leave to take you fur baby out for a walk or potty break that will not be an issue. I have a fenced yard for your fur baby to run and play around in or I can easily crate your fur baby if needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Greendale
This was our first time using Kristen. Before her stay she was easy to communicate with and this was the case while we were away. Our two dogs and cat looked happy and relaxed in all the pics Kristen shared. In particular, our older dog warms up slowly, but it was obvious to see that Kristen won her over quickly. Being away did not feel stressful to us!
We had the pleasure of working with Isabelle for the first time to watch our pups while we were getting married! She was a phenomenal sitter! Despite my chaotic sparse instructions she rose to the challenge and went above and beyond to take care of our pups and keep us updated. We can't thank her enough for putting our minds at ease and taking care of the girls so we could focus on our special night. Would definitely recommend to anyone else and plan to schedule her again next time we need a sitter!
It was our first time using Rover and we were a bit nervous. Ayana took care of our Furbaby and house like it was her own. Our dog has anxiety and she was able to spend lots of time with her and cuddle her to pieces. We are so grateful to Ayana because we were able to relax and enjoy our time away with family knowing our baby was taken care of. We definitely plan to book Ayana in the future!! Thank you Ayana!!
Emma did a fantastic job!!!!! My doggo was so relaxed with her he just went about his life as if I were there. The updates were fantastic and I know I made a great choice with Emma!!! I don't travel much but when I do I am definitely 💯 % asking her again!!!! Thank you so much.
Laura is simply the best. She stayed with my weird little dog for a week and did a spectacular job. It's the second time she sat for me in my expectations were fulfilled. She left my house tidier than before. She always goes above and beyond. You won't be disappointed if you go with Laura. I highly recommend.

The average cost of House Sitting in Greendale is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $72 per night.

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 Greendale 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 Greendale 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 Greendale 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.
