“This is the second time we used Melissa for our two dogs. She does a phenomenal job and I can tell our dogs were well taken care of for the week that we were away. She sent pictures at least once a day and communicated with us often. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Megan did an excellent job caring for our two dogs and two cats while we were away. It was nice to be able to enjoy our time away knowing that we had a reliable and trusted person taking care of things. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have experience taking care of and training pets of all ages. I can administer medication, feed, train, and play with your pets with ease. In addition to taking care of & house sitting for cats and dogs, I’ve done so for chickens as well. I am so excited to spend time with your pets!! I am currently applying to full-time jobs that utilize my newfound degrees, so I have a lot of free time to take care of and meet new furry friends! Very open to having a meet and greet to make sure I’m the right fit for your pet. I am highly responsible and am CPR certified. I am a very organized and conscientious person, and I aim to ensure that your pet’s safety and happiness are of paramount importance☺️
About: I love all animals so much! I treat them all like they are my own. I’ve taken care of a wide range of animals, from elderly dogs, to birds, and horses! I owned a Pet Sitting business for many years, but moved states once I got married. Me and my husband are homesteaders. He works from home, and we both tend our ducks and garden. We are hoping to have a farm stand this next summer! I love working hard and all animals! We have a very big fenced in back yard where your babe can run free and we can play! We are outside all the time with our animals and garden.
“Terry is absolutely amazing!! I can’t say enough good things about her and how she went above and beyond in taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She loved and cared for them like they were her own, sending us updates and videos each day. We had an amazing vacation and was able to not worry a bit about how the dogs were adjusting - they were so happy and got so much attention with Terry!! She will be the first person we call whenever we need a sitter! Thank you Terry!!”
About: I have 7 years of experience in boarding kennels and doggy daycares, where I’ve cared for pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also have a bit of grooming experience, which has helped me become even more patient and gentle when handling dogs. I’m currently a junior in the Canine Training and Management program at SUNY Cobleskill, where I’ve taken classes in training, behavior, and canine health. I am super passionate about what I do!! I am currently home for the summer, until mid August, and have an open schedule! I can do mornings, afternoons, evening, or any times in between. I will not be able to care for pets in my home since I am living on-campus. Hopefully in the future that will be able to change!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. My babies are lifers. Your animal is my number one priority. I prefer animals over humans any day I quit my job to walk dogs full time. I’m always available if you need me. Your babies are my babies. I’d prefer dogs over humans I have a fenced in yard and no one can escape. I abide by what the client asks for in their and my own home. I walk, play with your dog if toys are presented
“Heather was amazing and took great care of our babies, you can tell she loves animals! I also received beautiful pictures from her throughout my vacation and felt relaxed knowing they were in good hands!”
About: Growing up I always had a dog. I absolutely love animals. I currently have a golden doodle and a Cavachon. My cavachon is a senior dog who has had major surgery. I'm very experienced with taking care of dogs of any age or with medical conditions. I work part time at a pizza shop. I am also a college student. Since I only have class 3 days a week in the afternoon I have a lot of free time in the mornings. Taking care of pets would fit perfectly into my mornings. At my home I have 2 dogs that I take care of. I can easily adapt to different feeding, walking, or activity styles for different pets.
About: Hey my name is Taleem I’ve cared for pets my whole life basically from turtles chinchillas and bunny’s to lap dogs mastiffs and horses I’m well experienced and genuinely care about your pets well being. Potty breaks and training is not a problem I allow dogs on my furniture and bed I live in a smoke free home that is also an apartment I’m not too far from Griffith park so walks there are common for me; I’m a pretty active person because I am a student athlete. I’m currently in my sophomore year and just looking for extra ways of income and caring for animals has always came naturally to me, and I came to love it at a young age so why not do what you love and get paid.
“Jason was awesome. Great with updates. Super communicative. I demand a lot for the 13 pound furry man in my life and Jason made it all work even with a schedule that wasn’t the easiest.”
About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I have hands-on experience raising my own two dogs—a 4-year-old Shih-Poo and a 2-year-old Pit Bull—both of whom I've cared for since they were puppies. That experience has taught me patience, consistency, and how to recognize when a dog needs playtime, reassurance, exercise, or simply a quiet place to relax. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to their comfort, safety, and individual needs. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, going on walks, giving plenty of affection, or making sure anxious pets feel secure while their owners are away, I aim to provide dependable care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease. Im currently working part time so I'll be able to take care pets after 2 pm til 11pm . Im flexible on weekends so I can take care of pets any time on the weekends. I have a big yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. I spend lots of time with dogs so I would dedicate lots of it to your pet.
“Gregory was excellent with our Husky boy, Buddy! He stayed with him as asked and played in the backyard. He even did training exercises with him to keep him mentally stimulated. We will definitely use Gregory again!”
“Meghan was super flexible and provided great updates and photos. She was absolutely wonderful with my pup who takes a bit to warm up to new people. Kiki loved her and we will definitely book again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,023 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Greenwich. 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 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 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.

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.
