“Angelina did a wonderful job of watching our puppy. She took took note of everything we talked about at our meet up and made a detailed itinerary of when she would be stopping by and what she would be doing, even more detailed than I needed. She took pictures and sent plenty of updates throughout the day so there was never a doubt our puppy had been given the best care, would recommend to anyone.”
“I can’t begin to express my praise for Tillie. I was so impressed the first time we met when she came to my home to meet my dog, Aspen, and I - she arrived on time, with a notebook and pen to take notes, asked thoughtful questions about Aspen’s care and my expectations, and she was so kind and personable. Aspen loved her right away as well. Tillie kept me frequently updated with pictures of Aspen, checked in with me, asked questions, and when I returned home Aspen was at ease. I really appreciated all of the kindness, care, and patience Tillie gave Aspen (and myself!). We adore Tillie and felt very comfortable inviting her into our home. We are looking forward to booking with Tillie again in the future.”
“Ingrid is amazing! She she took the time to meet our boys so that they would be comfortable around her. She's has great communication and made sure she understandstood the needs of our boys. She went above and beyond to take care of our dogs and our home. She actually left our home in better condition than when she arrived. She really loved our boys and they really enjoyed being with her. We highly recommend Ingrid as a sitter, she really is the best!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a lot of my life my own, relatives and neighbors! I love animals and think they need a lot of attention and care! I help care for two dogs everyday, a German Shepard and a Dashund! I love them a lot and love taking them on walks and runs. I can take them on walks, feed them, play with them and spend a lot of time playing with them and giving them the attention they need.
About: I have taken care of small, medium, and large dogs! I have also taken care of cats! I have had animals in my home for as long as I can remember. I love being playful with them and try to always keep them feeling loved and entertained! I’m very active and love walks. I’m currently working part-time and am available Mondays after 4pm, Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 5pm, Thursdays after 3:30, all day Friday, and some weekends depending on travel! My schedule also depends on traveling due to family being out of town! I let them out as frequently as I can and I do love taking the time to play with them! They deserve to burn off their energy! When I come to your home I will leave it better than I found and make sure to follow the routine that you request to the best of my abilities! I want to make you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable during the service!
“Emily is fantastic. She took such great care of our pup, Jenny. I really feel like she treated her in such a kind and special way. She took her for walks, sent us pics and communicated really well. I never had a single issue with Emily. I plan to hire her again. I would definitely trust Emily with any animal you have.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life. My sweet Charlie crossed the rainbow bridge in 2025, but when he was here he loved being a pal to all doggos and kiggies. Honoring his memory, I will care for your sweet critter with the same love and attention I have always shown to all creatures. I have one cat, who is aloof, but peaceful. Fenced yard, kiddie pool in the summer, and I am totally okay if your baby needs to dig a hole in the yard. This is a safe space for critters to be their authentic selves. I’m work during the week, so I am only available Friday after 5pm through Sunday at 9pm. I don’t go out on the weekends, so I’m totally dialed in to seeing to your pet’s needs for pottying, walkies, snuggles, and anything else that helps them cope with having their human be absent for brief times. I have a large fenced yard. The grass is soft, but I’m okay with them getting a lil diggy time in if needed. The neighborhood is safe and there is a beautiful park nearby for walkies. I also have a pet stroller if your furry fren needs the accommodation.
“My dog and cat were so calm when I returned from a week's vacation, and that is due to Kelli's good care! My pets love their routine and lots of attention, and Kelli provided what they needed! She left my home in tip-top shape, too! I will definitely ask here here again!”
About: Growing up we always had animals of every kind! I began petsitting when I was twelve and then worked for Wag! in NYC when I was attending college. I have one precious pup and cat of my own and I also foster puppy litters! I know from personal experience that animals are family and I will always do my best to keep your pups happy and healthy while you are away. I work from home with an incredibly flexible schedule! I have the time and weekdays and weekends to watch your previous pups! I travel occasionally for work and on those dates I will be marked as unavailable, but as long as I am in town then I am free to visit your pets! At this time I’m not doing boarding or doggy day care in my home because I am fostering puppies but that might change in the future!
“This is the third time Sophia watched our pets and each time she does an absolutely stellar job. We have an old doggo with anxiety that sometimes need a little extra TLC and Sophia went above and beyond to make her comfortable. As long as she’s pet sitting we will gladly employ her to watch our babies.”

About: I have worked closely with foster and rescue dogs for the last 7 years so I am very experienced when it comes to dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I have done it all from feeding, bathing, walking as well as administering medication. I am very kind, caring, and loving and I'll treat your animals as if they were my own! I work with pets every day so I am usually always available. I can also be flexible to ensure that it works with your schedule. I have 3 dogs of my own that are my pride and joy so I know how important it is to have someone you trust be able to take care of your pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Greenwich
Tamra was a trooper. She had her hands full, taking care of 4 inside and 1 outside cat as well as dealing with an overprotective mama who was scared to death to leave her elderly kitties that need twice a day medication and her newly relocated outdoor kitty for a 2 1/2 week vacation. Tamra was able to give everyone their medications without the need of any assistance from my daughter who lives nearby and dealt with my outdoor kitty and his needs in keeping his routine as normal as possible, which was NOT easy! Tamra left the house spotless at the end of her stay and did a better job than my husband at keeping the litter box clean.

The average cost of House Sitting in Greenwich is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $44 per night.

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 Greenwich 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 Greenwich 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 Greenwich 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
