About: My wife and I love being with our dogs, we have 3 adopted dogs and 1 dog we received as a newborn puppy, and love meeting other owners and their pets. We take our dogs for walks at our lovely park across the street or to the dog park to let them run free with the other dogs. We also have a 5 acre yard for any animal to do what they please. We take our dogs on hikes on the red rock trails, have lots of toys for them to play with, spoil them with the right amount of dog treats. We have a specialized dog food brand we use and cook our dogs fresh meat for them to eat, they don't seem to mind.

“Busara was an incredible dog sitter! From the moment she came for the meet and greet, I was impressed. My dog was calm and took to her immediately, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even took notes about his care, showing how attentive and thorough she is. After the meet and greet, she sent a detailed care summary and promptly accepted the booking. Throughout our trip, she communicated amazingly, sending multiple updates and photos of our baby every day through out the day. It made being away so much easier knowing he was happy and well cared for. When we returned home, everything was in perfect condition. She brought in our mail, watered our plants, and most importantly, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. I would absolutely recommend Busara to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again the next time our family travels!”

“Julie was amazing! Our pets were very well care for while we were gone. We came home to a house that was in as good, if not better shape than when we left. She communicated with me any time I requested and in a timely manner. I felt good knowing they were well cared for while we were gone. Oh, she even washed the sheets on the bed she used. Great service for sure!”

About: I work professionally in dog daycare as a Team Lead, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m experienced with group play, individual care, feeding routines, senior dogs, puppies, basic training and behavior management. I’m comfortable reading canine body language and adapting my care to each dog’s individual needs. I also have experience with large breeds and higher-energy dogs, and I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine through my work in dog daycare. Outside of work, I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and other pet care services depending on the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and provide consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and each pet’s individual needs. I pay close attention to body language, behavior, and stress signals, and I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. I believe in keeping pets on a familiar routine and giving them the space, enrichment, exercise, and affection that works best for them.

I have dog sat many of dogs from very small to very big and I don't have a type, I love all sizes, shapes, and more! I have had a dog my whole life and I can't ever get enough of them.

About: Hi, I’m Ayanna! I’ve always had a love for animals and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just some extra playtime, I make sure every pup feels loved, safe, and happy while their owner is away. I have hands-on experience with pet care, including feeding, administering basic medication, and ensuring pets get plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to provide personalized care. As a responsible and trustworthy caregiver, I’ll treat your pet like family—whether they love long walks, belly rubs, or just lounging around. I’d love to meet your furry friend and give them the best care possible! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I can’t wait to care for your pup! As a full-time college student, I have a busy schedule, but I’ve found that pet care fits in perfectly with my routine. Since my classes are spread throughout the day, I have plenty of flexibility to take on walks, drop-in visits, or even overnight pet sitting. Mornings are great for quick walks before class, and I often have free time in the afternoons and evenings to check in on pets, take them for a stroll, or just give them some extra attention while their owners are away. Weekends are even more open, making them a great time for longer stays or multiple visits. Since I’m already balancing school and other responsibilities, I love that pet care allows me to earn extra income in a way that’s both enjoyable and flexible. Plus, I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, so spending time with them never feels like work! Whether it’s a quick check-in or an overnight stay, I’m happy to fit pet care into my schedule in a way that works for both me and the pet parents I help. When I care for pets, my top priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved—whether they’re staying with me or I’m looking after them in their own home. If a pet comes to stay with me, I make sure my space is welcoming and pet-friendly. I set up a cozy spot for them with their bed, food, and water, and I always take time to learn about their usual routine so I can keep things as normal as possible. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or just curling up for some quiet time, I do my best to make sure they feel at home. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their furry friend is happy and well cared for. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same thoughtful approach. I follow their feeding and walking schedule closely, make sure their space stays clean, and always give them plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure to respect the owner’s home—keeping everything tidy, locking up securely, and leaving things just as they were when I arrived. No matter where I’m caring for a pet, I treat them like family. I know how important it is for owners to feel at ease while they’re away, so I do everything I can to make the experience stress-free for both them and their pets.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them part of the family. Until last year, I cared for my own dog, Tank, who passed away at 14. Caring for him through his senior years taught me the value of patience, close observation, and keeping a pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible. Tank occasionally had seizures, which gave me firsthand experience remaining calm, reducing stimulation, helping keep a dog safe from injury, and closely monitoring them while following an owner’s or veterinarian’s instructions. I understand that every pet has their own needs, personality, routines, and comfort level. I’ve also dog sat for family members and truly enjoy making sure their pets receive dependable care, affection, exercise, and companionship while they are away. I’m detail-oriented and will follow your instructions closely. Feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules to favorite toys, training cues, and any special needs, your pet will feel safe, loved, and cared for in your absence. I work part-time as a caregiver for a person with a disability, a role that has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to individual routines and needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can accommodate a wide range of pet-care routines, visit times, and scheduling needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine safe, comfortable, and as familiar as possible. At my home, I have a yard available for regular bathroom breaks and a small park nearby for daily walks, exercise, and fresh air. I do not have any pets living with me full-time. From time to time, I care for my mother’s friendly French Bulldog, Vinny, who enjoys being around other dogs. I will always communicate in advance if another dog may be present and will make sure introductions are handled slowly, safely, and according to your pet’s comfort level. In a client’s home, I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, house rules, and any special routines or needs. My goal is to provide dependable, detail-oriented care that helps your pet feel secure and well cared for while you are away.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks. I play with cats and even bring along toys that I know my cats love.

Very thorough with instructions that were given and kept us updated. Our dog had some stomach issues the very first day of our trip out of town and Sabrina was quick to let us know and clean up after him. She then went the extra mile and picked up a bag of his old dog food to do a gradual change to the new food which was so appreciated! Sabrina was very pleasant and took such good care of our dog and then 3 fish tanks on top of that! Will definitely book with again in the future if we need a pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Greenwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Greenwood on Rover is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $60 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 348 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Greenwood. 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 Greenwood 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 Greenwood 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 Greenwood 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Greenwood. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
