“9/7/2014 Lydia was great, we book her to stay in our house with our dog for 4 nights to keep our dog on his schedule. We came home and our house was the way we left it. Lydia sent pics and updates every day. We have already rebooked Lydia for a stay in October”
“Aaron watched our two dogs over a long weekend. One of them is a senior who is having some issues with incontinence. Aaron was fabulous with him. He spent long periods of time at the house keeping the dogs company, he kept us updated. and everything looked great when we got home.. We will definitely use Aaron again.”
“Brooke was fantastic to work with and did a great job taking care of Scarlett while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and pictures letting us know our Lil Miss was doing just fine. She ran the vacuum and left the kitchen spotless. We will definitely use her again.”

“Amazing and always great to talk to, made sure I was able to be reassured on my vacay that my pet was well taken care of. Would love to book again amazing individual and loves your pets!”
“Andrew is an exceptional dog, cat sitter! I'm very picky who I'll let watch my best friend & stay in my house and he did an amazing job. He communicated regularly with pics and videos and everyone was happy when I returned! I can't wait to use him regularly when we need a dog/cat sitter! Thank you Andrew!!”
“Heather agreed to watch my pup for a weekend on such short notice. She sent a lot of updates and pictures so I knew my dog was being cared for while I was away. Thank you Heather!”
About: I have been helping take care of animals since I was five. I grew up with animals in the house and have always made friends with animals. I have not found an animal that doesn’t like me in my 25 years of life. I help take care of many families who request me multiple times in a year. I am a full-time special education teacher who works from 7:30 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon. I can stay overnight and do drop ins. The times in between the drop ins would just have to be longer during the day due to not being able to leave work. I spend a lot of time with them when I can because they need that consistency of love and care as if their owners were there. I make sure they go to the bathroom, are fed, and given attention since their owners are gone. I love playing with them if they are animals who enjoy playing with toys.
About: I have been working with and loving animals since I was very little. My family has been rescuing and fostering both dogs and bunnies for as long as I can remember. My sister and I actually just trapped and rescued a stray cat, got her spayed and her vaccines, and adopted her out to a wonderful home! I used to run a cat and dog walking/sitting business with my twin sister, and have worked with all different ages and breeds. Additionally, I have extensive experience with rabbits- rescuing, fostering, grooming, administering medication, basic wellness checks, etc. Loving animals is a center characteristic for me, and although this is technically a job, I can't wait to meet and snuggle more babies! If there happens to be any scheduling conflict as well, I have a twin sister with almost identical pet care experience that would love to fill in in any way. I am currently a first year graduate student, but asides from my classes, I have very little other obligations and could spend the rest of the time with your pups or kitties! I care for pets as if they were my own, taking into consideration their schedule, quirks, safety, and needs. I have two very needy and spoiled yorkies at my childhood home, so I am used to and more than happy to learn and follow specific instructions to ensure your babies are the happiest they can be! I also would love to send updates and pictures of your pets how ever often you would like.
About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot! I’m able to easily form great relationships with any dog I have met (so far), and absolutely adore being around them and caring for them. Thanks to my experience as a dog owner, I know all there is to know of the basics of caring for dogs of all ages. My current job has me working 2-6 Monday through Friday, and 1:15-6 on Wednesdays. Since I don’t work long hours, that leaves me pretty open when it comes to pet care! Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I will travel to yours to care for your pet. When housesitting, I tend to hang out in the area where your pet is in the most to keep an eye on them if they need anything, and to keep them company while I’m around (if I can, I also like being on the floor so if they want to come and say hi or get some pets I’m right within their reach)! Also, I may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood, but that won’t discourage me from taking your furry friend on walks if they’re able!
“Kaelyn was amazing. We were gone for over a week and he did house sitting and dog sitting. She kept us updated on their adventures and the dogs seemed to love her. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Ava still doesn't like when we leave, but Shawna P. has done a great job making her feel as comfortable as possible. Ava still yells at us when we get home, but she is much more relaxed and happier than if she spent the time boarding at the kennel.”
“Oli was great for overnight stays with our family! We have three dogs with varying levels of intensity (90 lb baby, 25 lb little monster, and 20 lb sweet angel) and Oli did a great job winning them over and taking care of their needs. We're excited to have Oli back again soon!”
About: Howdy! My name is Sydney and I am an Indianapolis native. I grew up with cats, dogs, hamsters, and bunnies. I started babysitting in middle school and then moved to overnight house/dogsitting in high school. I have stayed overnight anywhere from 1-10 days at many family friends and neighbors homes. I have experience with a nice range of breeds. German shephard (I grew up with a female shep!), pitties, golden doodles AND retrievers, dachshunds, shi tzus, pomeranians, australian shephards, labs, mixed breeds, etc. I am comfortable and experienced with daily walks, feeding and medication schedules, bathing (at Pet Supplies Plus!),and overnights. I am a very reliable and friendly person so you can depend on me showing up on time with a smile. I adore all animals as if they are my own. I even have affection for snakes, specifically ball pythons. I work M-F in a school main office so I am available on all breaks, evenings/early mornings, weekends, and overnights. I am happy to try to give bathroom breaks during my lunch if you are in Perry Township. I get two weeks for spring, fall, and winter break. As well as an 8 week summer. Safety and trust is very important to me. I will never unleash your dog in public, I only feel comfortable doing so if there is a secure fence that I know they can't jump. I send photos and text updates as often as you'd like. I follow rules and instructions to a T and have no problem asking questions if they arise. I will make sure your pet has clean water and constant supervision.
“Brittany dog sat in our home for 5 nights and was amazing! Very responsive, sent pics of our pups, and took care of the house very well. She is very sweet and our dogs loved her. I would recommend her to others and hire her again!”

Shakarra watched our 2 dogs and 2 cats for 2 weeks. I’ve never been away from them for that long. She kept me up to date and was very responsive. I appreciated having someone in our home who everyone was comfortable with. She came over 2 times before actually staying to make sure things were going to work. My dogs took to her immediately. I ran into some travel delays but Shakarra was flexible and kind enough to do an additional stop by to make sure everyone was good. She tidied up the house before she left which was icing on the cake for our arrival home. I feel so grateful to have found a great pet sitter on the first go around.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Greenwood on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,533 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.
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 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 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.
