“Olivia was fantastic and my pets loved her. They were immediately comfortable with her being in the house. She was great about sending me a few pictures while I was gone and letting me know if she was going to be stepping out for a little while. I will definitely be reaching back out the next time I need pet care!”

“What an incredible pet sitter! I got multiple photos and updates, and she even brushed my dog! Both he and my home looked great when I returned. Elisabeth asked great questions when I met her and wanted to keep his routine consistent while I was gone. I look forward to working with her again real soon.”

“Isabel is kind, loving and reliable. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our family. Not only did our dogs take to her immediately, but my house was spotless when we got back. She’s the best!”

“Hailey was amazing! She is so kind and professional. My girls loved her! She took such great care of them. She communicated, sent updates, and pictures. Reached out with any questions or concerns. She went over and above taking care of my house, leaving it very clean. I am so happy I found her.”

“Madison is excellent she sent us daily photos and interacted with the pups all day. She came back and forth without missing a beat we will use her again for sure.”

About: I've owned cats and dogs since I was a child so there are many years of experience. I believe pets are more than animals, they are family. Your pets are in good hands :) My schedule is flexible and open to long-term and short-terms care. Unfortunately, I will NOT be using my home for dog services since I have cats in my home. I also have a small home, which would not be ideal for dogs. However, I CAN do drop ins and dog walking. Due to Covid-19 I test my self regularly & the members of my home. I am also fully vaccinated for Covid-19. (Hablo Español) My schedule changes frequently & is typically flexible enough to manage additional services. Please feel free to reach out for future services or any questions! I only board cats, if the pet isn't friendly towards other cats. I separated my condo into 2 floors so theirs no conflict. I make sure they have their own food, water & Litter. I also make sure they have entertainment & a comfortable place to sleep.
About: I grew up around animals big and small, from horses and llamas, to cats and dogs, to hampsters and reptiles, I love them all, except spiders, please no spiders! I am an avid outdoors person, I love going for runs and hikes. I'd be more than happy to take your dog with me! Its great exercise and helps to poop them out! I do own my own German Shepherd, she is one and full of love. She loves making new friends, so if your dog wants to make friends too I'd love to get them playing! Otherwise I like to keep as close to your pets schedule and routine as possible. I am more than happy to stay at the house or do drop ins, whichever works best for you! I currently work full-time in Centreville, VA, with 4 longer workdays typically a combination Monday-Friday 7am-6pm, plus commute time. If your pet cannot comfortably go ~10 hours without a bathroom break on these days, please consider this when booking. However, on my days off, my schedule is much more flexible, and your pets will be my top priority. I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care to keep them happy and comfortable. I provide attentive and compassionate care for every pet entrusted to me. When outdoors, pets remain on a leash at all times unless otherwise agreed upon with the owner. Inside the home, I closely monitor their behavior, ensuring they are comfortable and safe. If I notice any unusual behavior, I promptly check in with the owner to keep them informed. Before each booking, I conduct a detailed discussion with pet parents to understand their pet’s typical behaviors, routines, and any special needs, ensuring personalized care tailored to their well-being.
“Melinda house sat for us and took care of our dog Adele, right before we were scheduled to leave town Adele hurt her neck and had to take medications, I advised Melinda and she said it wouldn’t be a problem at all to manage her medication while we were away. Melina also washed the sheets in the bed she stayed in along with the towels she used, we came home to a clean home. We would definitely book with Melinda again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and paying close attention to any changes in behavior or comfort. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I prioritize keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have volunteered in the past with being a temporary foster for shelter/rescue dogs. I also have volunteered with driving dogs in rescues to their medical appointments. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra attention, or more specialized care, I’m here to help. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog the time, attention, and consistency they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with more open availability in the afternoons and evenings. I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and can provide reliable, timely care you can count on. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs including medical care or medications. I follow instructions closely and keep a watchful eye on behavior to ensure your dog feels secure and well cared for. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain a calm, clean environment. On walks, I stay attentive, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure your dog is always secure. I’m also happy to provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Natali was great! She watched our 2 dogs in our home for several nights while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos of your fur babies and responds promptly. She is also, do far, the only in-home sitter who respected our home. Highly recommend Natali!”

“Gloria was an excellent pet sitter. She was very attentive to every detail; her communication was timely and detailed; she went above and beyond to ensure our pets safety and well being.”


“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Kyle provided regular updates that were not only informative but made us laugh. He took our pups on plenty of walks, even in the rain, and gave our shy kitties lots of love as well. We highly recommend Kyle and will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“Deborah was amazing with our kitty! She provided loving care and kept us updated regularly on how she was eating, sleeping, and bonding. And we came home from our trip of 2+ weeks to a spotless house. We will definitely look to have Deborah sit again and would highly recommend her!”

“Perry is an absolute gem! She's so great with my dogs and understands that fur-parents can be nervous leaving their babies. She's timely and very communicative and I would recommend her whole-heartedly! We love Perry!”

“Leah was fantastic! She showed up right on time and kept in touch throughout the day, sending lots of photos of Charlie so we always knew how she was doing. Leah also took Charlie on several walks, which she clearly loved. She looked after our cat, Maverick, too, and both pets were happy and well cared for. Beyond being reliable and attentive, Leah has such a sweet, positive energy, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We liked her so much that we've booked her again for an extended stay while we travel overseas. We'd recommend Leah to any pet owner!”

“Amani was the first dog sitter I used from Rover. Overall, she was good and could use some improvements. Came back from my vacation to my house and dog like I left it. When I messaged her, she messaged me back within reasonable times. She sent me photos and updates upon request. She washed the bedding I gave her before she left. She met me timely for the meet and greet and also the day she started dog sitting. I stepped on the dining room rug and it was wet. My dog had an accident and she did not inform me until I messaged her to ask. My dog’s water bowl was empty when I came back. She used the leash on the collar instead of using the harness as I advised her to and I identified that from a photo. She did not send me updates 2x per day as I advised her to during the meet and greet until I asked her again a couple of days later.”

“Batel stayed in our home with our 2 Boxers, 1 of whom is highly energetic, for 7 nights! We actually extended by 1 night and was so grateful for her flexibility. Our dogs are our family and can be quite a handful. She followed my crazy list of instructions and tips/tricks quite well and took great care of our dogs, and our home. I think by the end of her stay, they won her over. We would certainly reach out to Batel again for future needs.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Greenwich is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $38 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 94% 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.
