“Had some communication mix-ups at the beginning but after that Kayla was great and very responsible with the dogs. She even went above and beyond at the end and washed the dogs bowls for me!”

About: I have helped dog sit and take care of many different kinds of dogs with my friends and I am looking into getting into it myself! I am currently in school from 9:30 to 12:30 and working about 20 hrs a week, so I have plenty of time to check up on your pets throughout the day! While I live in an apartment as a student and am unable to provide care in my own home, I'm willing to follow any directions provided to me to insure the safety and happiness of your pets.
“Our dogs are usually skeptical and guarded around new people, but Alisha warmed them right up during her stay with them…so much so that they shared the bed with her the very first night! Right from the start, Alisha was reliable, professional, and trustworthy. She sent a couple of updates with photos every day and managed Kip’s medications wonderfully! We came home to very happy, relaxed pups and a spotless house. She definitely went the extra mile! We will definitely book with Alisha again!”
“Mallory exceeded our expectations! She was friendly, kind and so communicative during our 3 day weekend trip. We will definitely book her for our next trip!! We really can’t recommend her enough! Such a trusted and amazing individual with our home and our furry babies.”
“KIm easily picked up my herding dog’s quirks & rolled with it! I had full confidence in her. She was very communcative & sent MANY pictures. We returned to a calm, happy pup! Thank you very much!”
About: Hello! As someone who has grown up around all different kinds of dogs, I would love to get to meet and care for yours! I have been dog sitting since I was 13 in my hometown Springfield, Missouri, and have had the opportunity to work with several families here in Lincoln since joining Rover. As a college student, I’m excited for the opportunity to continue this with your furry friends! I’m experienced with small and large dogs as well as both puppies and senior dogs. I also have experience with dogs that are quick to aggression as long as I am warned before! I’m currently a student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with a very flexible schedule. I am available at any point in the day for drop ins as well as overnight stays! I am comfortable and experienced in crating dogs, as well as working with dogs that are quick to aggression. I will abide by any household rules and guidelines as well as ask questions for clarification if needed to make sure your pets get the best care and you feel comfortable leaving them with me!
“We would absolutely rebook again! She gave us piece of mind knowing our fur babies were being well taken care of, as well as our house. We were kept up to date of how they were doing and if she had any questions or concerns. House was left in great condition.”
About: I love spending time with animals and getting to meet all different types of breeds while getting to watch them and care for them at the same time. I am going to school part time right now and have lots of extra free time spent at home for taking care of pets. I am okay with having pets in my home as well as traveling to others homes to care for the animals. I treat the animals i watch as if they are my own making sure i tend to their needs and make them feel safe and cared for!
“Tricia was prompt with letting us know when she arrived and left, sent plenty of check in photos, and left our home looking like no one had been there (maybe even cleaner than it was when we left!).”
About: I have always had dogs. I have trained dogs for years, including hunting dogs. I have helped others with their animals throughout the years as well. I also take care of a farm and their animals from time to time just north of Omaha she would be a reference. I work remotely, so I’m home all the time unless I need to run a quick errand. There is direct access into my apartment, so no need to go through hallways. I will treat them like they’re my own and we walked every day. I have a park here. I also live right next to Lake Zirinsky so taking a walk at the park is easy.
About: I have been pet and house sitting for the past seven years, primarily caring for dogs and cats, but I also have experience with a wide variety of more unique pets. I’m currently attending the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, pursuing a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife, and my love for animals goes well beyond the classroom. Over the years, I’ve personally owned and cared for fish, turtles, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and a variety of birds, so I’m comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’m responsible, reliable, and kind, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own. The only thing on my schedule is class from 11 to 12:30 everyday. Will build my schedule around times that I am needed to attend to your pets. Your pet’s safety is my top priority! I’m pretty sure my years of experience caring for my own personal “zoo” have prepared me for just about anything! I’m careful about following each pet’s routines, keeping doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape routes secure, and making responsible decisions based on each animal’s needs and behavior. I take time to understand feeding instructions, medications, exercise routines, allergies, and any special safety concerns before caring for a pet, and I’m attentive and proactive while they’re in my care. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Greenwood is $27 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $30 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
