“Adrianne is amazing! She was communicative, asked thoughtful questions during the meet and greet, and ensured meds were delivered to a picky eater. We hope to have her back for future vacations!”
“Excellent communication from the start. Came for a greet and meet and easy to be with and obvious knew dogs well. Ended up a friend of mine knows Alissa so a double excellent reference. She communicated with me constantly throughout the stay. My dog is a senior and she did well with him and when I returned he kept roaming into where she was staying in my place. Would have back again as she is available.”
“Patricia was great with Jeter! He was very well taken care of and she shared pictures with us while we were away. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“We were very happy with the communication and attention to detail while watching bella. Not only did she take great care of our dog but also our house 🧡 we would definitely recommend her and use her in the future”
“Emily was awesome! She provided great updates throughout our trip and took excellent care of our four pets and our home. It was clear she treated them like they were her own, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Emily and would gladly work with her again in the future.”
“Fatima was amazing to work with. I booked her on short notice before the holiday when my original plans fell through. She offered and made it a priority to come do a meet & greet on days notice. I’m always a little nervous when using a new sitter especially when they stay at mine, but my mind was at ease immediately when I met her. I could tell she has a big heart and really cares for animals. She followed all instructions and she went above and beyond spending time with Diesel doing his favorite activities (walks, playing fetch, swimming, etc.). She was incredibly communicative and sent a lot of pictures and videos which was much appreciated. As a former Rover sitter and a frequent user of Rover’s services, I can confidently say that Fatima is one of the best sitters I’ve come across. I will definitely be using her in the future and have already recommended her to others looking for sitters. Thank you Fatima!!!”
“Quazaye and our dog Deetz connected the first time they meet. She had a definite concern for our dog. We were out of the area for four days. During that time we were comfortable that Quazaye was taking care of our pet. After we arrived home I noticed that Deetz was laying by the front door apparently waiting for Quazaye a sure sign that she had taken very good care of him. We would definitely consider using the services of Rover and Quazaye in the future if needed.”
“We were pleased with Caroline😊 She was attentive to Petey and helped him adjust to a new person caring for him. Petey is a happy dog and Caroline was great at getting him to play and took him for several walks! We felt she kept us posted with notes and pictures. We honestly can’t think of anything she could improve-Our Petey was well cared for and given plenty of attention😊”
“Jenn is a amazing! She is the most kind and compassionate woman. This is the very first time we have ever left our two rescue dogs, so I wasn’t sure what to expect with our two pups and how they would react to anyone other than family watching them. she watched them for two stretches of time periods, one stretch of time was for a few hours while we were at a rehearsal dinner and with a second stretch of time it was for over 12 hours at our daughters wedding. The first stretch of time they barked continuously, and poor Jenn soldiered through like a champ, unscathed. I was afraid she wouldn’t show up the next day, but there she was bright and early the next day, ready to meet the challenge! Within 10 minutes, she texted me with a photo that our two beautiful pups were fast asleep and quiet. She had a wonderful day. It just took a while for them to get used to being with someone other than their owners. She was wonderful, kept us up-to-date throughout our time away. With photos and brief updates. Highly recommend, if I could leave more than five stars, I would!⭐️”
About: I've loved caring for pets my entire life! My mother was a vet tech who taught me everything I needed to know about caring for animals. I have two senior dachshunds adopted from rescues and have rehabilitated them to be sweet socialized canine citizens. I love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I work a hybrid office job which gives me some flexibility for assisting with your pets! I can walk or visit with your pets in the evenings on weekdays, or anytime on weekends. Your pet will receive care according to their unique needs while I'm visiting with them. Play, feeding, affection, or exercise defined by what you would want to be doing for them yourself.
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for dogs and cats since I was in high school for family members and neighbors. I have a background with volunteering at local animal shelters. My schedule is flexible throughout the week which helps provide plenty of pet sitting availability. Pet care easily fits into my schedule. I typically have several week days/weekend available for pet sitting. Typically I have my schedule 4 weeks out in advance or more. I love all animals and love to show them kindness. I make sure they get their needed steps in for the day. I also think its important to spend quality time and play with them.
About: I love animals and have always had them. My friends reach out to me for pet sitting because they know I will take the best care of their fur babies! I have a teacup Yorkie and a cat so if you have a friendly pet, they are welcome to stay by me, but I am also retired so can stay by you if that's more convenient. I am very flexible! I am retired so have all day & evening to spend with your fur babies. I love to walk so would be sure to take your fur babies outside for fresh air any time of the year. I live in a safe area and have beautiful paths for dog walking any time of day. If your pet likes car rides, I love the beach & the water so could have lots of fun taking them wherever they like to go!
“Ashley was So responsive and Wonderful with my boys! Thankful she was able to watch them in their house!! Will definitely book again if she is willing to watch them!!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely phenomenal. Leaving my dog for the first time with someone I didn’t know was nerve wrecking however Elizabeth put all my nerves at ease. Our 9 month old rambunctious golden adored her. She sent pictures, updates, and did everything possible to make it the best weekend for our girl. I could not recommend someone better to watch your best friend! We are having her back in a few weeks and I feel so great knowing Elizabeth will be at our house. If she’s available, book her!!! You won’t regret it!”
“Marilia communicated often sending updates and pictures, and was very open to our instructions and the pets’ daily routines. We felt good that Marilia would care for them well while we were able to focus on our flight process without having to worry if the pets were eating and going potty when they needed to. Thank you so much for looking after them!”
“Blythe took such good care of our pets and home. She went out of her way to schedule fun things for our dog, and she clearly loved all the attention, and the cats loved the snuggles. Thank you, Blythe!”
“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”
About: As a little kid, I grew up with a dog and then got two dogs of my own as an adult. I raised all my dogs from puppies all the way through to end of life. I have dog sat for family and friends as well so I have experience with many breeds and conditions of care. I am currently available most weekends for whatever your fur babies need and I have some flexibility with my schedule during the week so I may be able to help out! I have a large (unfenced) yard for dogs to play in. I have a crate if needed. I have a walking path nearby to take long walks.
“Rebecca was phenomenal with my little critters! Excellent communication throughout the week and she was able to adjust last minute to needing to give my dog extra TLC and medication. I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Greendale is $50

Alyssa was absolutely amazing. When we had the meet and greet, I loved her from the very start. We have two Maltese, which are tightly bonded to my husband and I, not wanting anyone in our space. But with her great communication skills, loving and kind personality, she had them cuddling up on the sofa soon into the day. We enjoyed messaging her and receiving pictures from her. she is a wonderful person and would love becoming a friend of hers! I highly recommend her, she would be my first choice having her as a caregiver for my dogs.
Kailynn was so kind and understanding about us leaving our Maggie for the first time and rearranged her schedule to accommodate us since we needed someone here the entire time. I couldn’t be happier with her services and will definitely be seeking her out for the next time. Also felt very confident in getting ahold of her for check ins. 10 STARS if they went that high ❤️
Alexandra was a pleasure to work with and took excellent care of our dog Rocky. We received great updates while she house sat for us, and we came back to a spotless home and happy pup. Would absolutely have her house sit for us again, and recommend her to others!
Stephanie was a great sitter. She helped me out when I was in a pinch due to last minute cancellation. She was able to get a meet and greet in timely and sit for me that weekend. She was prompt, professional, all around great! Will forsure use her services again!
We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Justine! She watched our 10 month old puppy, Rumi, for the weekend and truly went above and beyond. Leaving your pup and your home in someone else's hands can be stressful, but Justine gave us total peace of mind - we knew right away he was in the best hands! She kept us connected the entire time with constant updates and photos. Rumi even got to meet her family briefly, and I can tell he absolutely loved it, especially hanging out with her son! To top it off, when Rumi had a minor issue with an itchy ear, Justine stepped right in with excellent preventative care, keeping him comfortable until we could get him to the vet on Monday. Rumi clearly had a fantastic weekend. We couldn't ask for a more trustworthy, communicative, and caring sitter - highly recommended!
Maya was AWESOME! We needed a last minute Rover to stay at our house and watch our 2 pups for a night and she was such a good fit for the job. Super communicative & sweet — we always received the cutest pupdates. Our dogs were 100% in great hands & we’ll definitely be booking with Maya in the future! 😊
Sonia and Alex did an absolutely excellent job caring for my dog. He is developmentally delayed, requires daily medication, and is incontinent, so his care takes extra attention and patience. Throughout the 6 days he was with them, they communicated promptly and openly about any challenges that came up, and together we were able to make simple adjustments to ensure his stay was comfortable and successful. They sent pictures frequently, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. From every photo, it was clear that my dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their care. I am incredibly grateful for the compassion, flexibility, and attentiveness Sonia and Alex showed, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone—especially those with pets who have special needs.
Alex did an awesome job caring for our cats and our home while we were away for almost 2 weeks. Sometimes our cats get anxiety when we go out of town but I could tell our cats were comfortable with her when she came for the initial visit before we left and all 3 cats seemed to be happy and content when we arrived back home which was pleasant to come home to. We highly recommend Alex for overnight visits!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Greendale on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,370 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Greendale. 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 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.
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 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 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 Greendale. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
