About: I grew up around animals a lot and have loved them since i was a kid. When I was younger if an animal was hurt, I would always try to help figure out what was wrong with it, that’s why I treat every single animal like my own. I’m about to start college in august, but I always make plenty of time for pet sitting! I have hands on experience caring for my own animals, including 2 dogs, 1 cat, and a snake that I love very much. I'm responsible for feeding, cleaning, and making sure all animals are safe and well cared for! I have flexible availability and can provide pet care durning the daytime most of the week and will give a 3 day notice if something comes up! i always make sure pets are safe and cared for by following instructions closely, i am reliable and respectful of your home and will keep you updated, i will only do care at clients homes and won’t do boarding at my home due to my grandad :(
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, pigs, peacocks. You name it. I’ve been a huge fan of animals since I can remember. I’m super active outside and love taking pups out on hikes or walks. My last dog had to take meds so I’m also extra sensitive to pups that may need more present care. I’ve dog sat and house sat for many years before and just recently decided to give rover a try. I’m also a photographer so pics of your sweet pea will be guaranteed! I’m a photographer so my schedule varies. Sometimes I’m on a shoot or at home editing. I work part time at a restaurant wed-Friday so am unavailable those evenings. I am generous with my love with pets if they want that. If they are shy I will absolutely listen to what they need and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I am clean and respectful of others’ space and strive to make sure your sweet pup gets the activities they deserve.
“Our dogs fell in love with Nathan right from the start. He was great taking them out for walks, feeding them, playing ball with them, and cuddling with them. We will definitely use Nathan again!”
“Dakota once again took great care of our Gretzky, who has lots of dietary and medication needs. We will absolutely be using Dakota from here on out!”
“Tiffanie was great. Even though last minute, she came to meet the dogs before her stay. She took great care of them, sent lots of pictures, was very communicative-commenting on each dog’s personality so you know that she’s spending time with them, and left our house in perfect condition.”
“This was our second time having Micheal pet sit and house sit our 3 dogs and cat. Micheal took great care of our dogs and went above our expectations caring for our elderly cat.”
“Maddie is awesome. She’s house and dog sat for is while the family was on vacation to Disney. We messaged her with questions prior to booking a and she responded quickly.”
“This is the second time we’ve had Jack watch our pups while we were gone for a week. He did great as always! He gives us consistent peace of mind while we are away, knowing the dogs have good and caring company.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I love dogs and cats. I love animals and have no problem spending my free time taking care of and playing with some fur babies. I have a pug that I've had since she was 6 weeks old. I also have a cat who I took in after his old owner abandoned him. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8-5pm in Charlottesville. I am more than happy to stop by after work if needed or if you want me to stay at your place I can take care of the babies before heading to work to make sure they are fed and worked. Can work with a lot of schedules. I do make and sell jewelry so there may be a few weekend days where my availability is limited due to already committed to a craft show In my house I try and take my dog out every 2 hours. In the summer my pug is sensitive to heat so we do short walks around our driveway. She is a bit spoiled and will not go outside in the rain so I do also have experience cleaning up puppy pads and encouraging their use. My cat is both indoors and outdoors so he goes to the bathroom outside but also have a litter box inside I clean every few days for him.
“Caitlynn was very professional and I knew our dogs were in good care. She gave updates and sent pictures/videos several times a day so I never had to worry about them. Very responsible and trustworthy. We will definitely be booking her in the future. Thank you C!”
“Dawn was fabulous! She was communicative and really bonded with our dogs and ducks! She even left our house cleaner than she found it!!! I could not have asked for a better dog/duck/house sitter!”
“Wrenn was great to work with. She responded quickly to our messages, communicated well, and took good care of our dogs. She was available on short notice and was easy to coordinate with throughout the process. We would be happy to hire her again.”
“Danielle did an amazing job taking care of our very new puppy! She handled everything that a new puppy throws at you very well. Our home and new family member were in great hands with Danielle.”
“Isabelle was available with short notice. She came to meet us and our dogs beforehand. She was interested and knowledgeable. She provided pics and comments at most visits. Will use her again!”
“Mary was so great! Very responsive and flexible to work with. Our pup loved spending the weekend with her at our home while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Mary again.”
About: I love dogs! I’ve always had at least one dog at home, so I’ve truly been working with them as long as I can remember. Animals have always brought me so much comfort, and I hope to do the same for them :) I have some free time this summer and would love to fill it by helping others. I love meeting new furry friends and getting outside and moving! I am very gentle and loving with all animals. Kids are not really my thing, so I’ve always taken a special liking towards pets. I have great outdoor space at my home if that’s something you’re interested in and in general just love to spend time outside.
About: I absolutely love animals and have had them through out my entire life. I have experience from working at “Dogtopia” to “Home away from home, dog boarding”. I understand the importance of family and would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have experience providing care for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and monitoring health. I am familiar with cleaning and sanitizing animal housing and equipment, and can recognize signs of illness or distress. By feeding, walks, and playtime—with my personal habits like breakfast, exercise, and evening relaxation it helps to create a consistent, healthy routine. My successful routine with my 12 year old senior terrier includes early morning engagement to set a positive tone, scheduled midday breaks or mental stimulation to combat boredom, and structured evening bonding that eases stress. I have a 12 year old friendly Emotional support animal named Flower, who still loves to run and play. I also live close to the park, and have a crate if needed.
About: I have a large family dog that I have been responsible for since I was about 10 years old. She has since gotten older so I have experience with a senior dog and giving any sorts of medication (and the peanut butter necessary to get her to take it). I am no stranger to having to clean up any accidents in the house so that is a non-issue for me. I am also open to taking care of other animals like rodents or turtles or other cage creatures. I am a true and passionate animal lover! My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am happy to give as much or little time needed for the pets. I can figure out any scheduling and details necessary with clients. I am never loud coming into a home. I always let the pets come to me unless they are hiding on purpose. I take care instructions very seriously and will follow everything exactly and will reach out if I have questions about the best way I can care for your fur friend.
“Alexis was amazing with Brody and Marco while doing house sitting at my place. She was prompt and took the time needed for both of my dogs since they both have different needs. She gave the medications as instructed and gave my boy Marco the extra time he needs due to his past and getting comfortable with people. She even did extra things I didn’t ask her to do. Thank you so much Alexis and I will definitely be in touch again when I need someone!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Greenwood is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Greenwood
Pamela (PJ) has been fantastic with my somewhat neurotic fur baby who is slow to warm to new people. Ikora took to her right away, which to me is the best gauge of how someone is going to be with my dog. PJ offered 2 opportunities for meet and greets ahead of sitting Ikora, which gave me immense comfort, especially when you are asking someone to stay in your home - there needs to be a sense of trust there. Due to winter weather, she was very flexible with me that our plans could change and was very understanding through all of that. I appreciate PJ's kindness to both me and my fur babies and her attunement to animal behavior, which makes her the best choice for us! We hope to use her for all of our dog/cat/rabbit sitting needs going forward too! Highly recommend!
We recently met with Mary and requested her for house sitting our two senior dogs for several days. She provided many pictures of our dog’s outdoor activities while in her care. We could tell they were receiving quality care from her. So pleased she was able to be there for our pets and we had peace knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend Mary to care for your pets. We will be looking forward to her caring for our pets in the future. We get date priority for future reservations!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Greenwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 468 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.
