“Pamela was great! She was responsive via text and left the house in perfect shape. We felt reassured knowing our pups were in good hands while we were away for a whole week!”
About: Had dogs and cats my whole life. I have had as small of a dog as tea cup chihuahua and as big of a dog as a German shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix. Love cats too but honestly I'm more of a dog person. I have cat sit for friends and family before and happy to do that to!! I work full time in the operating room 7a-5:30p, except for Wednesdays and weeekends. I have two boys aged (age 3 and 5) every other weekend. Currently no pets but we've had dogs and the boys do well with small and big dogs alike. They loveeee cats. I let animals on my furniture, provide lots of snuggles, back/belly rubs, fetch, walks outside and happy to let off leash trained dogs roam in my backyard depending on the owners preferences and how well behaved the dog is. Happy to follow whatever schedule you need for you fur baby.
About: I have taken care of 2 dogs in my life. I know the basic’s, example , feeding, walking, and bathing. Wanting to spend my time to help all dog owners find someone they can trust while they are away. I’m working Full time currently but have time mostly in the evenings throughout the whole week. Giving time for your dog and providing love till you are ready to pick them up or drop off I have a fenced yard with neighbors fence near mine. They do have pets as well,Husky's, they are vocal and jumpy but I mostly supervise outside in case anything may happen. My home is near a dog park where they can have more space to roam and get all there energy out.
“Nathan was amazing with my little dog! He kept me updated with messages and adorable pictures, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I’ll definitely book with him again!”
“Alex did an awesome job with our furbabies Lucy and Bear. Lucy is a diabetic and Alex had no problems giving the insulin shots to her. Would recommend her and we will definitely be using her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Michael, and animals have been a central passion of mine throughout my life. As someone with autism, people are less my forte, but caring and interacting with animals has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household where everyone was allergic to dander except me, so I got my animal fix by pet-sitting for friends and neighbors—both dogs and cats. I’m used to housesitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I also have some higher education with veterinary assisting, which has come in handy with the animals under my care. I was only able to adopt my cat from a shelter a few years ago, but I am no stranger to all sorts of animals (reptiles, birds, small mammals all included—I have experience with caring for all wide variety of creatures!), all with a wide range of personalities. Every pet is different, and I take care to adapt to each individual’s needs. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ I am in the process of applying for disability, during which time I am otherwise available outside of my appointments during the week. Tuesdays are typically my busiest days. I am most available on the weekends, where my days are completely free to devote to your pet(s)! I do not board at my residence, as my cat is an anxious fluffball. However, when it comes to client homes, I like to make sure that your pet’s routine is as familiar as when their pet parent is home. I work to make sure that although their people might be temporarily absent, it is a positive experience and not a devastating waiting period; every animal deserves to be treated with as much attention and care as they need, the more the better. Any particular treats they enjoy, toys, playtime, places to visit on outings, specific times for feedings—all are great information for me to give your pet the experience they deserve.
“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of cats my entire life, but I’ve also taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs on several occasions. I understand how anxious one can get by being away from their fur babies so let me help make the time away from your pets less stressful. I have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I just need two days notice on what all of my duties are going to be. If you want me housesitting as well as pet sitting, I am able to do that if you are wanting to just have me stop in that is perfectly fine as well just let me know exactly what you want me to do and I will get it done.
“Jodi, Thank you so much for staying with our dogs for a whole week. There are so many things that I'm impressed with. Daily updates, taking care of Justice's ear infection, vacuuming daily and all the other things that happened in between... We will definitely be using you every single time we travel.”
About: I’ve had all kinds of dogs around me and in my home my entire life!! Dogs are something very special to me! Some things to know.. I’m very patient with dogs, very good with older dogs, and wild young dogs! I can handle any kind,shape,size doesn’t matter to me I welcome all fur babies over here!! I work from home so I always have free time on my hands and if not work is able to go wherever I go!! I love walks so I’m always ok to takes them for walks, play! How I care for pets is simple!

“McKenna did a great job taking care of our cats. It took a few days for them to warm up to her but she was able to even get our male out on his daily walks in the stroller! The house and plants were also well taken care of.”
About: I provide expert care for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small pets. I am uniquely qualified to manage senior felines and medically intensive cats. My background includes rescue work, complex medical management, and specialized nutrition. Pet care is a lifelong passion and a core priority for me. I treat every animal in my care as a cherished family member, ensuring they receive the highest level of attention, safety, and affection. Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to build my daily and weekly schedules entirely around the needs of the animals in my care. Because I manage a diverse range of species, my routine is structured to provide both consistent companion animal attention and precise habitat monitoring. When visiting your home, my focus is on maintaining absolute security, cleanliness, and the comfort of your pets in their familiar surroundings. Standard Companion Care: I handle feeding, fresh water replacement, litter box scooping, and dog walking. I follow your home security protocols precisely and provide regular photo updates. Advanced Aquatic Care: I check water levels, monitor filtration systems, verify water temperatures, and inspect fish closely for early signs of illness or stress. Specialized Reptile Care: I execute exact dietary plans, verify humidity levels, and ensure heating elements or UV lamps are functioning perfectly. To provide the best possible care, I always welcome written instructions, care guides, or checklists from pet parents. Knowing your pet's unique quirks and daily routine helps me keep them happy and stress-free!

“Karrie was fantastic! She stayed in our home, which helped our dogs feel comfortable and relaxed right away. She kept them on their usual routine, so we never had to worry while we were away. She was also a wonderful house guest and even washed dishes and bedding before she left. We couldn't have asked for better care and will definitely be booking with her again!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Greenwood is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $34 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
