About: I have 10 years of professional experience working with shelter animals and have cared for hundreds of dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. From shy and fearful pets who need extra time to warm up, to high-energy dogs still learning their manners, seniors who prefer a slower pace, and animals with ongoing medical needs, I’m comfortable meeting each pet where they are. I know firsthand that introducing an unfamiliar person can be challenging for dogs who are nervous, selective, or protective of their space. I’m happy to meet your pup as many times as needed to help them feel safe and comfortable with me before being left in my care. I’m experienced in reading canine body language, respecting boundaries, building trust, redirecting overstimulation, and working with dogs who may need a little more patience than others! Over the past five years, I’ve also fostered dozens of dogs and cats, often specifically taking in animals who need additional training, socialization, confidence-building, or time to decompress outside of a shelter environment. This has given me plenty of hands-on experience with everything from house and crate training to leash manners, enrichment, separation concerns, dog-to-dog interactions, and helping nervous animals settle into a routine. I also have two years of veterinary technician experience and am comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with medical needs. Most importantly, I understand that every pet is an individual. Whether yours is a social butterfly who wants to be my best friend immediately, a senior who just wants a leisurely walk and couch time, or a nervous pup who needs me to earn their trust first, I’m happy to care for them at their pace! I understand the stigma around certain breeds, and can assure you that I have a clear understanding of what to expect with each. My current client list includes breeds such as Cane Corso, Belgian Malinois, Husky, Newfoundland, German Shorthair Pointer, Labrador, Poodle, and, of course, many mixed breed cuties rescued from the shelter! I am currently employed full-time, though I have a flexible schedule that allows hybrid/remote work. This has allowed me flexibility with owners, as I can freely adjust my schedule to meet your pets needs! I prefer to stick to what your pet is most comfortable with. I’ve stayed with some animals that prefer their space, and others that prefer more attention. Each dog is different, so I am here to accommodate their own needs and wants!
“Olivia is FANTASTIC! She watched our pup Beau for a long weekend and she was incredibly understanding to my nervousness at leaving him for the first time since the pandemic began. She took the time to get to know him and sent me lots of updates and photos so we could see how happy he was. She spoiled him with extra long walks and time outside, and I am certain she is now one of Beau's favorite people! I could not more highly recommend her!”
“Sarah was wonderful! My dogs clearly loved her and they got lots of snuggles and walks while we were gone. She was also really good about communicating her schedule and sent me daily updates and pictures of the pups. We are looking forward to having her back.”
“Joining in on all the great reviews for Heather. She stayed with our two pups for two weeks while we were on vacation. Her care for our dogs allowed us to relax and not worry about home. It's a bonus to have someone who will do overnights and be a house sitter as well. Thank you Heather, so much!”
“Leigh was great! She stayed in our house with our two dogs and was punctual, communicative, and left the house nice and tidy! She sent us photos of the dogs throughout the day and we felt they were in good hands while we were gone! We would definitely use her services again!”
“Desirae took great care of my dog and my apartment while I was away for a week. She sent plenty of updates and photos and I felt at ease knowing she is a trained vet tech if anything were to go wrong. My dog seemed very happy and well taken care of when I arrived back home and the apartment was left nice and neat.”
“Excellent expirience all around. This was our first time using Rover after our original sitter fell through. Chris was fantastic at communicating and sent so many updates and photos we felt like our dogs were with us on our trip. Chris not only let our dogs out and fed them but really cared for them and made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were gone. We will absolutely use Chris again!”
“Leslie was so wonderful- I haven’t left my 3 little guys without family in over 10 years. They are very nervous little guys and have some quirks - she made it all work and made them feel safe. Sent me pictures and updates 2-3 times a day. I could not be more grateful!”
“This is the second time Jenni has house sit for me to take care of my four pets. She’s the absolute best was in contact with on how the pets were doing the whole time I was gone even sending pics showing how well they were doing. I will definitely use her again.”
“Terry was amazing! She house sat and cared for our 2 Boston Terriers and our Maine Coon cat. I highly recommend her and have full confidence in her. Our pets immediately trusted her and she built a connection with them. Terry sent us videos and texts of our pets and goes the extra mile by washing the bed linens and maintaining cleanliness. everything clean. Thank you Terry from our hearts and will definitely request your services again in the future.”
“Lesley was wonderful! Very communicative and detail oriented, making sure she kept a good routine for our dog Lucy. She also did so many helpful household tasks like bringing in our mail and packages (some large) and refilling our dog food container for us before we got home. Would absolutely book again!”
“Brad did a fantastic job caring for our senior Greyhound in our home during an international trip. He was communicative, responsive, and asked questions when needed to ensure he was providing the best care for our girl. I’m very grateful that Brad’s professionalism allowed us to have a worry-free vacation! And a bonus- the house looks even better than when we left it.”
“Shanisa was a wonderful sitter! My home was left cleaned and organized and my pups were happy as can be. She was prompt to respond and even though i was away for only a weekend, she made sure to send pictures and videos to me. Would highly recommend!”
“Bobbie is a consummate professional. She takes her job seriously and is a lovely person. She took amazing care of our dogs during an overnight stay. We will be using her whenever we can! I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Rebecca took excellent care of our pups and house while we were away on our honeymoon. She made us feel extremely comfortable so we could fully unplug and enjoy ourselves, knowing the dogs were happy and well taken care of!”
About: I have been involved with pet rescue for coming up on 10 years and have been an avid pet parent to all types of animals for my entire life. My family and I were responsible for the rehabilitation of pets with high needs. This involved pets with both behavioral concerns and medically fragile pets through my fostering experience. I work with them to ensure they can put their best paw forward into their forever home. I have also attended several pet training class for fosters and my own family pets and am generally good with pets of all temperaments. I work full time, but am committed to taking care of all of our pets! Primarily I would be looking for night and weekend work to make sure I have adequate time to spend with your fur babies. I have 3 cats that live in my home and mostly roam freely (except for mealtimes) I also have a large dog kennel in my home for boarding needs. I have a small fenced in yard and also live in an easily walkable area with lots of doggie neighbors.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Greenville is $55

So very happy with the way Jonaike cared for my 2 senior dogs. This was only their 2nd time staying with someone so I was a little nervous but everything turned out great! She kept me updated throughout the day via pictures and made sure my doggies were well taken care. Even asked questions or confirmed requests when needed. They seemed very happy and relaxed. Thank you again!
Sarah has given us such comfort with our dog. We left feeling confident she was in good hands and Sarah even sent us pictures of her playing and relaxing. Our home was spotless when she left, despite the many toys and balls our dog devoured in her play with her.
Tracy is the best! I never have to worry about Ace's care while Im away. I can simply enjoy myself and that is priceless. The house is left as neat as a pin and she even washes the sheets for me. I absolutely love the attention and care she gives to my fur baby.
Our previous pet sitter got a new job and was no longer offering overnight care, I was very anxious to find someone new. Shannon went above and beyond for our pets! I am very nervous about leaving them; they are both older, our dog is a flight risk, very sensitive and moopy, and our cat simply does not like to be alone. Shannon took such good care of them and I could tell by the photos she sent us that they felt very comfortable with her. They were very happy and healthy when we came home to them. She also left out house very clean and even took care of our plants while we were away! I’m relieved to have found a new sitter we can absolutely trust. Thank you Shannon!
Alberta took great care of Tilly! We were new to town and needed care for the dog while away overnight. It worked perfectly for Alberta to stay in our home especially given Tilly was a bit stressed due to the new environment and routine. Alberta took great care to understand how Tilly was taken care of and what her needs were. I greatly appreciated her easy nature with Tilly and her flexibility with me. Having her there with Tilly made it much easier to be away. I will definitely be booking with her again.
Stephanie was did a wonderful job taking Clara on her long walks and sent lots of pictures. The house was in perfect shape when we returned and we had peace of mind that our dog was well cared for on our first trip away from her. We will definitely book her again.
Faith was great taking care of Maxey and sent updates and pictures to keep us informed. When we returned he was happy and calm and we know we wouldn’t get this same care with boarding him. Also the house was clean and deliveries were brought in which was very much appreciated!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Greenville on Rover is $41.07 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,562 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Greenville. 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 Greenville 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 Greenville 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 Greenville 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.
