“Sylveena watched our dog and two cats for the weekend while we were out of town. Her communication was exceptional, consistently exceeding expectations. She sent multiple pictures and updates of each pet, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We were new to having someone watch our pets at home, but she handled everything with ease. When we returned we had happy pets and a clean home. We highly recommend Sylveena for the care of your beloved pets.”
“Saige was so wonderful while we were gone! She took excellent care of our pups, sent pictures and updates! I will definitely be using her again. Such a peace of mind having her here.”
“Lydia took the absolute best care of our dog Fynn while we were on vacation for the week. She was extremely responsive and diligent with our dog and with me. We got pictures of him and her playing every day. She was very respectful with our home. She even took in our mail :). She is very good with dogs and anyone who has her as their Rover is a very lucky person! We will absolutely be booking her in the future for our next vacation!! 100 out of 10: would recommend Lydia!!!”
“Tony is an amazing! He has cared so well for our 3 heathens including a wild puppy and a needy senior. He has done so with so much kindness and grace. He stays in our home and helps our pups stay in their own routine. He cares well for our home as well and leaves it cleaner than he found it. Tony is sincerely among the best. He is definitely our go to sitter.”
“We are so thankful to have found Rachel for a last minute booking to watch our 11-week old puppies! She arrived a few minutes before the early morning scheduled time and the puppies liked her immediately. She made sure to ask questions so she could provide the best care and she did. Thanks Rachel!”
“Kathryn is phenomenal. I have had her housesit for my 3 year old 10 pound toy poodle twice now. He suffers from separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for very long. The 2 times Kathryn has sat for me I was gone for long weekends. She stayed with him the entire time never leaving him alone. He absolutely adores her and is extremely comfortable with her. She is very loving and has no problems following the instructions I leave for her. I will only have her sit with him.”
“Alex was awesome at making sure Pearl was taken care of- but more importantly calmed my nerves about leaving her behind. Very responsive. Knowledgable. Patient. Flexible. Just some words to describe the type of care you and your pup will receive.”
About: I have a flexible schedule with many years of fostering, rescue volunteering, pet sitting, and pet ownership to offer clients! Experienced with bully breeds and puppies. I work remotely so my schedule is flexible. I am available all days of the week and most of the day to provide services to meet your needs. I will be offering dog walking services and drop by visits all of which will be documented with check-ins and photos to establish trust and ensure safety.
“Jennifer was wonderful with Bambi! She was kind, reliable, and took great care of her while following all of our instructions. It gave us peace of mind knowing Bambi was in good hands. We’d happily book with her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and ability to make pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including senior dogs and anxious pets. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine, get plenty of attention, and care, and I always keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. Since I am currently on summer break, I have a fairly flexible schedule and free time to dedicate to pets throughout the day. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, exercise, playtime, walks, and care while keeping them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I also keep the home clean, provide updates and pictures to owners, and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their family is away.
“Tacey was wonderful from start to finish. At our meet-and-greet she was personable, attentive, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood every detail of the kittens’ routine. She has such an easy, calming presence, and was genuinely great to talk to. Throughout the stay she checked in every morning with photos and videos, and was consistently responsive and thorough. She stayed on top of the litter boxes, emptying the Litter-Robot waste bins before I even had a chance to remind her, and she kept the kittens entertained with playtime and treat puzzles. And truly, the icing on the cake: she washed her sheets and even folded my laundry. I couldn’t ask for better care. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“What happy puppies! Thank you so much. I can tell they enjoyed your time with them. They were calm and happy to see me. They did look for you like, ‘hey where’s our new friend?’ I will definitely check out your availability when I need to travel again!”
“Pamela did an excellent job caring for our dog. We felt confident knowing he was in good hands while we were away. She made sure he was fed, had fresh, clean water every day, and even gave him a daily treat. We truly appreciated her care and attention and would gladly recommend Pamela to others.”
“She was amazing. Our trip came at not the best time for our pets. We had just blended our families and our pets were still getting use to each other. She was able to help them become friends and learn to live with each other. She sent pictures every day and they were all very happy. I highly recommend her and will use her again”
About: I've taken care of cats & dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with puppies, senior doggos, kittens, and difficult cats. I am typically off around 4pm Monday - Thursday, & noon on Fridays. My work schedule is pretty flexible and adjustments can be made. Weekends that I am in town are open availability other than Church on Sunday mornings! My cat is not a fan of other pets so all services would be provided outside of my home. I will keep your precious pet safe, and send lots of cute update pictures!
“Mary house sat for us and was fantastic! She is extremely reliable, is easy to communicate with, and took great care of our home and kitten. She was patient with our shy kitten and left our house looking better than how we left it.”
“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.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Greenwood on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,458 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.
