“Adrianne was a great pet sitter. She confirmed quickly and set up a meet and greet. My Cavapoo gave her hugs and kisses as soon as she arrived. He likes longer walks and she was awesome to explore nearby trails and parks with him. Adrianne is personable and professional.”
“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.”
“Jenn is amazing!! I have 2 cats and an anxious dog. She treated them all with so much love and cared for them while I was out of town.Updates and pictures every day!!”
“Amelie and Stephen sat for our dog, Dexter, and our cat, Lucy, while we were out of town for a weekend. We felt incredibly assured during our time away that our pets were being well cared for and provided with lots of love. We were given consistent updates on how the stay was going and what our animals were up to. They graciously provided many pictures during the stay that continued to provide us with a sense of calm knowing our fur babies were in very good hands. We have already rebooked with them for a future trip, and will continue to do so! We cannot recommend them enough!”
“Joe was great with our Fifi, he was really a lifesaver! He stayed at our house as our rescue dog can be a little clingy. I received the cutest pictures and was really able to enjoy myself on vacation knowing she was at home!”
“Sarah is an absolute star - we’re so lucky to have found her on Rover! Our dogs are so happy and comfortable with her, and we know we can rely on her 100%. Consistent photos and updates, and when we get home, the dogs are so chill that it’s like we never left.”
About: I have always had a passion for animals since childhood. I began caring for pets in 2007 starting with my first family dog. I trained him and took care of him when he was only 8 weeks old. Now, I have an 10 year old dog I've had since she was 8 weeks and have had rabbits, cats, reptiles, birds, and more. I have been the go-to for friends and family for their pet needs; providing overnight care, dog walking, drop- in visits, and home/pet sitting. I pride myself in being the one to provide loving care to every pet as if they were my own. Animals bring me joy and I aim to provide them with love, happiness, and some fresh air whenever possible. Overall, I can promise we're all going to have a great time together. Fur sure! 😉 Transitioning out of a regular full time position, so this means more hours are avaliable to dedicated to your pets and their needs! Im also connected with a few other local sitters to help coordinate any walks and drop ins and back up. I also work on socialization and basic commands and leash training whenever possible. I make sure we have vet and emergency information available and at the ready. I like to keep pets in their normal routine whenever possible and keep parents up to date as well.
About: Hello! My name is Kelli. I have always loved dogs but wasn't able to have one growing up. This made me go around the neighborhood taking care of anyone's animal. This has given me experience with dogs of all different temperaments and breeds plus various owner's preferences. Let me know what works best for you and your pup and I'd be happy to accommodate. As an adult, I live in a home with a yard perfect for zoomies. I also now have my have dog, Scooby, who is a great sidekick when I board. Scooby was a rescue from a shelter with three different types of infections that I helped nurse him through. He's now a happy and healthy 4 year old boy. He loves other dogs and good with acting like 'older brotherly' with younger pups. So even when I have to leave your pup will have company. We look forward to meeting you! I work from home 90% of the time so though I work typically an 8 hour day I can typically be flexible to address immediate needs. My partner currently is working from home and sometimes helps out as well. I typically do a slow, calm introduction with both Scooby and the other dogs and will not leave them alone without supervision until after the first day. I can also always crate or I sometimes separate dogs in different rooms of the home.
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!
“Emma was so sweet with my little senior dog! My dog has various quirks and some chronic health and anxiety isssue and Emma was very accomadating with it all! She was also a great communicator and would check in and ask questions to clarify if she needed anything. I would definetely recommend her to anyonne and would trust her again with my furbabies <3 Thanks so much Emma!”
“Cary was an excellent dog sitter! She cared for my dog for 7 days while I was out of the country, and this was my first time being away from my dog. She was very thoughtful about sending regular updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cary stayed at my home and took great care of both my dog and my space. She kept everything clean and even washed my sheets before I returned, which I truly appreciated after a long day of traveling. It’s clear she genuinely cares and treats your pet like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Cathy was fantastic! She was very easy to work with, and very friendly to our dog, Joey. You can tell she has plenty of experience with pets. We definitely plan on hiring her again!”
“Dominique completed his second house sit for my two pups (6 nights) and we continue to endorse him as a qualified / reliable sitter! Communication again proved to be consistent. Water bowls were full and my house was just how I left it. My large dogs are prone to acting out if they do not get enough attention (especially over long periods). It was great coming home and not seeing any indication of unsatisfied pups. Fully recommend!”
“Raychel did a great job with house sitting and taking care of my animals while I was gone for close to a week. They got a lot of attention and I came back to a house that was clean and just as I had left it. Will definitely book again with Raychel.”
“Lily absolutely exceeded my expectations with her attention to detail, genuine care and concern for my pups, and thoroughness! My dogs were well taken care of with feeding, walking (carefully in a heat wave), fireworks, and just general companionship. I also returned to my home probably looking better than how I left it - well cared for, cleaned, and plants alive and well. The daily updates were fantastic and very reassuring. Lily is amazing and I hope we can book again :)”
About: From working/volunteering at shelters to pet sitting for friends and family, I have 10+ years of experience caring for furry friends of all ages, personalities, and sizes! Most all of my pet care has been limited to cats and dogs, but I am willing to work with small critters, birds and reptiles with the right care instructions/tutorials. I am not typically squeamish, so I am open to handling clean up and medication - please message me for specifics. As a dog mom myself, I understand that each pet requires different levels of care and attention, and am willing to meet them where they’re at! However, I do not offer training services and might not be the most compatible caretaker for pets that exhibit aggressive behaviors (I am open to discussing). Additionally, I am a full time graduate student, so care in the early morning and evenings will work best for my week day schedule. I will be available some holidays (i.e., Thanksgiving). My availability may also change from time to time, so please be sure to check my profile or message me. Choosing me means your pet will receive quality care, and that all the updates you receive will include cute pics! As a full time student, my weekday availability might mean limited check-ins, but your pet is always the priority! - Monday & Tuesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Wednesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 7 PM - Thursday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Friday: 6:00 AM - 8:00 AM; after 3:00 PM - Saturday & Sunday: Flexible! I will need a few hours in the morning and some afternoons to volunteer. For pet sitting, I can provide the following: - Feeding and hydration - Exercise and play - Maintenance and cleaning of pets environment (e.g., litter box, crate, etc.) - Medication administration - Light housekeeping (e.g., bringing mail in, watering plants, taking out trash, etc.) - Text/photo/video updates

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Greendale is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $79 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,330 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Greendale. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
