About: I have taken care of animals majority of my life. From farm animals to small house pets. I have owned a range of different animals myself. I currently have my own furry friend. Toot Wednesday is a black long haired 6 year old cat. He is truly my baby! I have been a pet setter for family and friends for years now. Honored to be the friend they call first to sit for their dogs and cats. I also have a lovely partner who is a doctor of veterinary medicine for Banfield Hospitals here in GSO. He has taught me so much more on the everyday care for our furry friends. I am so excited to extend my love and care to your pets! ** Disclaimer ** Proof of up to date rabies vaccine is required for all pets. That includes paper work and the tag. This is to insure the safety of your pets and mine. Booking will not be accepted until it is provided. Thank you for understanding! 😌 I am currently self employed and therefore my schedule is very flexible. I have No kids & only one cat. I am available on weekends as well! I can take care of most needs for your pet like, feeding, walking, & playing. I can spend more one on one time. I can help give medications if needed.
“Kendall was amazing with our babies! She kept them stimulated, and gave them plenty of snuggles! She kept us updated on everything! She made sure they were not home by themselves for too long. Would love to use her again!”
“Mayah was so great with our boys, communicative while we were gone, and was very respectful of our space during her time staying there. She left the house very clean and our boys very happy. We would 100% recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to ask her to watch our dogs again.”
“Laila was very helpful in caring for my two boys who ended up getting sick from new food. She took care of them, went to the store to get them some food they could eat, and cooked rice for them too! So thankful she was there to take care of them!”
About: I am an animal lover to the max. I have been a pet sitter for some years now and have enjoyed it all from training young pets to caring for our more senior animals. I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and tend to their needs. I would be happy to bring your pet along with me in my day to day. I have an unfenced, private yard and a puppy to keep your pets company. I can crate your dog if needed, and I have ample space to give them whatever space they need to feel comfortable.
“I hesitate to write this review because we'd love to just keep Vanessa all to ourselves! ❤️ 😂 I won't though because there are dogs, cats and owners that need to experience the kind of care that Vanessa gives. WOW, talk about a great find! From the meet and greet to the 3 night 4 day stay with Ace & Marigold (our 2 Great Danes) my mind was at ease knowing they were in her care. She was great at sending lots of pics of them doing their fave things and her reports on Ace & Marigold read like a pet story that we looked forward to that made us laugh and look forward to the next one! 🥰 😂 Everything went great and we have already booked with her to come sit with Ace & Marigold again. It is a blessing when you find someone you trust to watch your furry Best Friends! 🐾 ❤️ If you find it difficult to take those trips when your Best Friends aren't able to come with you, we highly recommend Vanessa because they will be in great hands! 🥰”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and love taking care and have experience with all ages from helping train energetic puppies to helping with senior care for our old pup. Starting when I was 14, neighbors and friends would have me play, take care of, and spend quality time with their pets when they were gone. I also volunteered at the local shelter in high school and would walk and run with dogs on the weekends and during the summer. Today, I still frequently pet sit for friends, or join them for walks with their dogs through the park. I’m currently a grad student at UNCG, and while I work most weekdays, my schedule is pretty flexible! I am free all mornings before 9 and after 4pm, and can drop in for a walk or check in during the day most days, and completely free on weekends! I aim to prioritize the comfort of your pet! My main goal is to maintain a calm environment that emphasizes fun, play, rest, and managing stress when loved ones are away.
“Michelle was absolutely excellent with our two dogs while we were gone. She was very patient with our special needs dog and took great care ensuring they were comfortable. She sent pictures and updates each day.”
“Mia is amazing! She sent daily updates and photos while we were on vacation, she was super flexible when last minute life things popped up, she was amazingly patient and respectful of my in-laws that live in our downstairs apartment, and I would 100% hire her again!!”
About: Ive been around pets all my life! I started raising dogs when I was 11 and have helped friends and nieghbors with their dogs and cats since I was 15. Tasks have ranged from small check-ins with pets, to staying overnight to keep them company. Right now I work at a local food pantry on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sundays are also a busy day for me, but I can be very flexible and move times around with enough notice. I have one black short haired cat that I spend most of my time with. She stays indoors, but I let her come out on my back deck to get some air and a better view of the birds and chipmunks she always has beef with. She's the most hyperactive and persnicity cat I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, so I'm experienced with cats who have their own ways of playing.
“Erika did a fantastic job with our girls! They bonded with her almost immediately. This was our 2nd time using Erika and we plan to continue using her services anytime we need a sitter in our home. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. She is trustworthy and dependable.”
About: My senior dog is 13+ years old now (I've had him since 2015) and whenever friends and family needed pet sitting/drop-in visits/walks they came to me, I have also owned a cat and am caring for a cat currently. I would like to start building up an actual professional client base/reputation if you're willing to give me a shot! I'm mostly available on the weekends for in-house pet sitting or otherwise. For weekdays, I work 8am-5pm M/T/Th/F, and 1pm-10pm on Wednesdays, so it's a bit more difficult unless you just need me to drop in or walk your pet :) I'll take care of your pets however you want me to, we have a very needy Bengal and my senior dog so I'm used to dealing with pets with extra needs.
“Nakia took care of Ivy at the last second and I am very grateful for her. She was attentive of Ivy and her tendencies after only knowing her a short time. Sent me pictures every day!”
“This was the first time leaving my babies with someone I didn’t know and I have to say it was a great experience. Valerie was amazing with them she sent pics and communicated with me. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Wow Marissa was such a great Pet Sitter for my 3 dogs. She is very calm and easy going. She walked all 3 of our dogs when weather permitted and was fine with our 2 Vizslas wanting to cuddle with her. My older dog has separation anxiety and did really well. Marissa is amazing. She will definitely be my No. 1 choice for a Pet Sitter in the future.”
“I booked Sophia at the last minute because another Rover cancelled. She responded to my request quickly and we did a meet and greet the next day. She kept my two energetic aussies active with walks and playtime. She sent me photos and videos that gave me peace of mind while on our trip. We arrived home to a clean house and happy dogs. I plan to book her again.”
About: I’ve cared for friends’ cats and dogs for more than 10 years and currently have five cats, including semi-feral and medically sensitive pets. I’m comfortable following medication, special-diet, feeding, and communication-button routines. I stay calm in unexpected situations and respond with patience and reassurance so pets feel safe and understood. I provide walks, drop-ins, feedings, litter-box care, medication support, playtime, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. most days. Every visit includes a thoughtful update and photos so you know how they’re doing. Due to owning semi-feral cats, I do not care for pets in my own home. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their normal environment and routines.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Greensboro is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Greensboro
Amber was absolutely phenomenal! She watched our Golden Retriever for 10 days while we were out of town, and as a high-maintenance dog parent, I can honestly say she exceeded every expectation we had. She spent so much time with him during the day, provided frequent updates, and sent the best pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the start how much she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. For the entire trip, I never once worried about whether he was being cared for or getting enough attention. Knowing he was with Amber allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We would recommend Amber without hesitation and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Erika stayed with our 2 Golden Retrievers while we enjoyed a beach vacation. She did a great job taking care of our pups as well as our home. She sent us pics and updates frequently so we felt connected to our gals throughout our stay. We could see that they enjoyed their time with Erika. We’re so glad we found Erika so we can enjoy guilt-free vacations.
What a great experience for us and for our Chico! I could tell right away that I would not have to worry about her while we were away as she seemed at ease with Georgia from the start. We will definitely be asking her to stay with Chico next time we are out of town.
Claire was incredible with our three dogs. Two pitties and a border collie, so not exactly novice breeds and I didn’t worry at all. She was very communicative, followed our instructions, and went above and beyond to make sure Gilly got her medication. The updates were so reassuring and we can tell she really gave them love. First time using Rover and she completely set the bar. Will 100% book again.
Keri is kind and treated my dog like her own. She sent update pictures, kept up with walks, left my home in excellent shape, was extremely communicative and prompt. Highly recommend this sweet person to take care of your pet. She has experience with elderly dogs and showed patience and compassion with my older girl.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Greensboro on Rover is $42.18 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 969 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Greensboro. 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 Greensboro 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 Greensboro 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 Greensboro 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 Greensboro. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
