“Lydia was so great to work with. She sent multiple updates about how our dogs were doing. She obviously really loves dogs and does so well with them. We feel so much better about planning trips in the future when we know we can call upon Lydia to watch our pups.”
“Aaron was great with our furbabies, Molly and Teddy. We were a little nervous about leaving them but Aaron seemed to take a genuine interest in them and was willing to give plenty of play time to our boy, Teddy, and lots of cuddles for Molly. We got regular updates and photos and Aaron kept us updated on how they were doing. With him housesitting, we felt comfortable that the dogs could have their routine while we were away. When we got home the place was just as we left it, tidy and everything in its place. We hope to use Aaron again and recommend him if you're looking for someone trustworthy who really seems to love dogs.”
About: I've always loved animals since I was a kid: cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, etc. I love taking care of them and learning about all different animals. making sure their needs are met and making sure they're well taken care of!! I have a part-time job. I'm able to do anything that fits my schedule. I prefer doing mornings or early afternoons!! If you need anything specific just let me know!! I am happy to meet any requirements for pet care!! Going on walks, specific feeding times, etc. Also, I can take care of any other pets, such as any reptiles and/or any rodents, rabbits, etc. I'm happy to do so; just let me know beforehand!!
“My fur babies loved Shelly! She sent me pictures and took great care of them. My dogs are terrified of fireworks and she made sure to be there and comfort them while we were away. 10/10 would recommend!”
“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.”
“Kimberly was so good with our little cat! She was so kind and took great care of our home and fur baby! She even gave our cat who doesn’t isn’t good with medication her meds twice a day and sent us pics of our baby while we were on vacation! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: Brandon and I have been devoted pet parents to five dogs over the past 25 years. We genuinely adore dogs and treat them like cherished family members. We're energetic and hands-on. If you have a minor home project, cleaning task, or small errand that needs attention, we're open to discussing it for an additional fee, provided it doesn't interfere with caring for your beloved pet. On weekends we run errands, have lunch or dinner plans occassionally, but will spend the majority of our time with your loved one. On weekdays, Brandon works from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM in Plainfield (Monday-Wednesday). Brittani works in Castleton from 9 AM to 6 PM (Monday-Thursday). Brandon works from home Thursday and Friday and Brittani on Fridays. We are happy to care for your baby as if it were our own. Just let us know what you prefer and we will follow your instructions.
“Rebecca was very responsive and detailed so she knew what was required of the dogs. We got daily updates with pictures and comments. The dogs were very well cared for, the house was clean, and the dogs were happy! We would definitely use her again.”
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.
“Maria is awesome - it’s always scary leaving our house and fur baby with someone we have never met, but Maria made it easy. She took the time to meet Jake before we left and tour the house, she took lots of notes on specific details of likes and dislikes. During the stay she was always in the home when she said she would be and sent lots of pictures….. she made us feel very assured that we could relax and have a good time because everything at home was being well taken care of! We couldn’t be happier about how things worked out and are planning another trip soon!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a babe! Watching everything from chickens, pit bulls, Great Danes, horses. You name it!! I have all the love to give 💕 I work Monday-Thursday 8-5. I’m up at 6 so plenty of time for potty, food, and cuddles! Then after I love going on walks in my neighborhood!! I have a fenced in yard and sun room ✨ I have a large fenced in shaded yard that is mostly private! My neighbors are all friendly and have dogs of their own in fenced yards! Plenty of space for fetch and a neighborhood to go on walks in! If you have a list of specifics you would like to provide me with such as feeding time and walk times I would love that information!
“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: As a pet parent to three dogs and two cats, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. I also know how stressful it can be to leave them in someone else’s care, which is why I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. One of the biggest reasons I joined Rover is because two of my own dogs experience anxiety in boarding and daycare settings. Finding someone I trust to care for them in the comfort of our home has always been incredibly important to me, and I want to provide that same peace of mind for other pet parents. I believe many pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent the past eight years caring for my own pets every day. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering medications when needed, providing exercise and enrichment, and giving each pet the patience and attention they deserve. Because I work remotely most of the week, I’m able to spend more time with pets than someone who’s away all day—something that’s especially helpful for puppies, senior pets, or pets who simply enjoy extra company. You’ll receive regular updates and photos throughout your booking, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I live on the south side of Indianapolis and work remotely most of the week, with only two days spent downtown. This gives me the flexibility to serve a wide area throughout Indianapolis and many surrounding communities while offering dependable care for your pets. If you’re unsure whether you’re within my service area, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to discuss travel. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I know that maintaining familiar schedules can make all the difference, especially for pets who are nervous when their owners are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Before every booking, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s tailored specifically to them. Whether your pet has medications, dietary restrictions, favorite walking routes, or simply likes things done a certain way, I’ll make sure those routines stay consistent. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, leaving it just as I found it. You can expect dependable communication, thoughtful care, and plenty of updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Greenwood is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Greenwood
We have two retrievers and one is vary wary of strangers but Ashley came to our house for a meet and greet and she was only the second person that Sophie has not barked at in over three years so Ashley made me very comfortable leaving our dogs with her for an entire weekend which was our dogs first time alone with a sitter. The weekend went well so we will definitely reach out to Ashley again. Thanks
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Greenwood
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.

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.
