“Paige did a great job taking care of my precious pittie, Fran, and the two kitties, Jackson and Lucy. I came home to a clean house and happy babies. Thank you, Paige, for keeping me at ease while I was away from home. You’re the best!”
“Jillian was great! Super sweet and accommodating even made sure my packages were safe while away. Felt like my pup was left in great hands and didn’t have to worry. She took him on long walks even though it was freezing out! Jillian sent pictures every day which made me feel in the loop!”
“We couldn't have asked for a more loving, responsible individual for Opie. Emma provided overnight house sitting and care for our boy and our home. We were incredibly grateful to have found her and will definitely ask her again when we need a companion and sitter.”
“Kelly is so good with the boyz - really enjoy having her stay at our home with them and be in their regular schedule. You can tell the bond she’s developed with them - can’t say enough good things about her!”
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover, and over the past 5 years I've been dog-sitting for family and friends regularly. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, as well as some experience with rescues and puppies. I love taking dogs on long walks on the trails near my house and cuddling up while reading or watching a movie at home! I am a student taking online classes, so during the work week I am available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks during the day. I work in the evenings on the weekend, so I'm only available for overnight boarding and sitting during the week. I live in a quiet area with my parents, one of whom works from home during the week. Our dog passed a few months ago (she was 15!), so we're missing having a companion at home and have lots of love to give. I'm within a 5 minute walk to multiple parks and trails for walks. There is also a large yard, however it isn't fenced, so leashes are a must!
About: I have professional dog-care experience through my current job at a dog daycare, where I care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also volunteered at a humane society and have a B.S. in Biology. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Pet care is already a big part of my weekly routine through my work at a dog daycare. I’m available for additional pet care during my days off, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that fits their pets’ needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I’m flexible and happy to follow their normal routine. In my home, I have one small, friendly dog for company, can crate if needed, and have separate spaces available. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs to keep your pet comfortable and happy.
“Lindy did a great job comforting our thunderstorm stressed dogs during our time away. She’s very sensitive to their needs. We’ll be using her services again! Lisa H.”
“Jade took great care of our house and dogs while we went on vacation. She sent us pictures of the dogs and followed the instructions for care that we left for her. She was very communicative and let us know when she was going to arrive. Thank you!”
“Brooke did a great job with our high-energy dog, Isa! Brooke is very knowledgeable about enrichment activities and was both patient and proactive with our dog. Isa can be sensitive while we’re away. It made such a difference that Brooke sent wonderful updates throughout our trip and Isa looked happy and very well cared for. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog!”
“Julia was great! She made a last minute out of town trip possible and worry free. Everything was taken care of and clean when we came home. Our pup was happy upon our return. Trustworthy & reliable gal!”
“We loved having Lilly watch our two dogs. She took wonderful care of them and the house, while we were gone for a week. She was thoughtful and the dogs were very happy! We will be using her services again.”
“Emily is a fantastic pet sitter! She met us beforehand which eased a lot of our worries and her enthusiasm for pets made us very comfortable leaving them in her care. Throughout the whole stay she was communicative, reliable, and respectful. Thank you so much again for all your help!”
About: Hello! My name is Steph and I have been caring for animals my whole life. I would love to meet your pets and give you one less thing to worry about while you’re away. I have had dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, geckos, bearded dragons and a tarantula. I am experienced with animals that have special needs and sigh administering medications. I work from home most days and my schedule is flexible. I also have a list of trusted back-up pet sitters that are able to fill in if your needs don’t align perfectly with my availability. I am happy to provide drop-in or stay-in care for your animals. Your pets will be cared for just as you would. They will get the love and attention that they deserve.
“Erin has watched my dogs several times over the years and, as always, did a great job communicating, sending photos, and most importantly taking care of my dogs for two weeks. Also left the house in great shape.”
“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”
“Autumn is such an amazing dog sitter, I wish I could give her a 10 star rating! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs, so much exercise and love while we are gone. She’s a gift to doggy parents!”
“This is the first time we had an in-home pet sitter and it was a good experience. Justine was a good communicator, gave our dogs and cat lots of attention, and left our home cleaned up. She gave the dogs daily walks, even in light rain, and gave our senior dog his meds twice daily. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Justine again.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 12+ years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised and cared for a Border Collie mix, Boxer, Pug, and Min Pin—so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy dogs to smaller companions. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, administering medication, and making sure pets get the exercise and attention they need, including outings to dog parks. I’ve also been involved in training, so I understand the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement. Your pet will be treated like family—safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or check-ins. I’m available most evenings as well, depending on my kids’ activities, and I plan my schedule to make sure each pet receives reliable and attentive care. I offer loving, reliable care both in my home and yours. I live in a two-bedroom place near Dean Parkway, just minutes from Lake Bde Maka Ska—perfect for walks, fresh air, and dog park visits. I’m active, so your pup will get great exercise, but there’s also plenty of comfy space for downtime and cuddles. My two kids are also gentle and loving with all pets, adding to the warm, welcoming environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels right at home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,359 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 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.

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.
