“10/10 stars! I always get nervous leaving town and having people watch my pets; Olivia put my mind at ease and was so amazing! I did not stress at all while she watched them, i loved getting pictures of my dog and cats while I was away. I will absolutely be having her watch my fur babies again! My dog loved her from the second she walked in my door, and my cats did great with her as well. I am so pleased! Thank you so much Olivia!”
“Lori did a very nice job watching our pets while we were on vacation. They were well fed, she took the dogs outside often and watered our plants. She sent pictures of our pets every day and told us how they were doing. She informed us when she was leaving the house for a while and didn't stay away very long. We were impressed how well our chihuahuas liked her. Our dogs don't like very many people....at all. We look forward to having Lori watch our pets when we go on vacation again.”
“Kyle took outstanding care of Archie and Rhea (and kept a watchful eye on our home) while we were on vacation. He asked thoughtful questions and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, both pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well-adjusted. Archie and Rhea absolutely adore Kyle—I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again for future trips.”
“Sherry did an amazing job taking care of my beagle Scout while I was out of town for a few days. Scout is not always an easy dog to care for due to his separation anxiety and I felt very comfortable with Sherry being with him. She sent text and photo updates and took Scout out for activities such as the dog park to help him use all that energy he has. I would use Sherry again on the future for sure!”

“Marcy was incredible! Her communication was amazing starting from the meet and greet, to booking, to before and during her time sitting my pup! She provided updates each day making me feel at ease while I was away. It was clear that my dog was well taken care of. I will use her as a sitter again!”

Gina took care of our senior dog and our 2 yr old dog for 3 days and nights while we were out of town. She was kind and attentive to them. She played with them and took the 2 yr old for walks as well. She took wonderful care of their individual needs! I would highly recommend Gina! She is very trustworthy! We’ve already asked her if she would come back again!

We are very happy with the services provided by Melissa. The dogs were well cared for and and they seemed to enjoy their time with her. We received several pictures of the dogs from her and we were notified quite often as to their well-being. We had the feeling that our dogs were in good hands while we were away. We would definitely use her again.

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 Greentown 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 Greentown 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 Greentown 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!

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.
