“Shelly is so awesome! She stayed in our home with our two GSD’s and our two cats while we were on vacation. She sent me photos every day so I could see that my fur kids were having fun and not stressing about us not being home. My husband and I were able to relax knowing our home and our fur kids were safe and happy. I highly recommend Shelly!!”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I worked for a vet office as a vet tech assistant for 2 years before moving back to Ohio.I fostered for the Franklin County dog shelter and my old vet for over 10 years so I am familiar working with dogs. I have 2 orange cats of my own and grew up with cats. I'm currently home until further notice so my days are free to help with what ever your pets needs are.So as long as you let me know what's needed I'm happy to adjust. I outline what is expected of me from the owners and will go from there. But I'll usally take the dog out to potty and then take them on a walk or play with them with there dog toys. I'll hang out with the cats and play with then with there cat toys
“Brittany was so amazing with our puppy. It was our first time leaving him and she made us feel so assured and worry free! She provided great care and sent many updates with pictures/video. I highly recommend her and can’t wait to have her again:)”
About: I truly love animals, and I have real hands-on experience that helps me care for pets of all ages and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and large breeds. In my home town, I cared for Great Danes, so big dogs don’t intimidate me at all I’m confident, calm, and know how to handle them safely. Overall, I’m sweet, patient, and truly dedicated to making every pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give pets my full attention and adjust easily to your needs. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, feeding, medication, and extra cuddle time. I love staying active, so taking dogs out for walks and playtime naturally fits into my daily routine. My open availability lets me focus on each pet individually and make sure they’re getting the care, love, and consistency they deserve. In my home, I make sure every pet has a safe, comfortable space. I have dog crates available, a fully fenced yard for outdoor time, and I always supervise pets when they’re outside. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they need. When I care for pets in my client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention to detail. I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine, giving them affection, play, and structure. I send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“Erin did a good job watching my dog and the house. She was clear in communications and made sure she understood my expectations. The house was in the same state I left it and my dog was happy. I would recommend her to others and use her services again.”
“Anna took care of our two dogs for the first time. One of the dogs requires medication and Anna did a great job caring for him! She took excellent care of both dogs, was very attentive to their needs, and gave us frequent updates and pictures, which we appreciated. We can’t wait to have Anna take care of our fur babies again!”
“Hana is such an angel!! She was so willing to look after my pets on a short notice and stay in my home. She even brought treats for them and sent daily updates with pictures :) My pets were so loved during her stay and the house was in better condition than when I left. I will definitely be asking for her services in the future!”
“Karson was great! She kept me updated the whole time and sent lots of pictures, which made me feel so much better being away from my dogs. Everything was taken care of when I got home, and she even took the trash out before she left, which was so thoughtful. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Irina provided very timely and detailed messages and notes for the care she was providing for my pets while I was away. I was extremely impressed by her communication. I would hire her again without question.”

I’m currently transitioning jobs in life right now, so very free flexible and can stay home with them all day every day!! and give them the priority and care and attention. They deserve. Boarding in your home or my home is the same promise and that is of safety, love and positivity trove energy! their needs being taken care of and playing with them and until their heart’s content.
“Kaitlin paid excellent attention to details of the cleanliness and the keeping of my house and my cat Maisey. This is the second time she has stated our house and she will definitely be a due over.”
About: I have always cared for my friends animals when they are traveling and I also have had my cat Nola for 5 years. I’m also familiar with animals having anxiety and how to care for them by creating a routine that’s safe and fun. I have an open schedule currently so I’m open to flexibility during the day and some afternoons. I’m on break from my Masters program so my time is pretty open. I would make sure that any special needs your sweet baby needs is taken care of with extreme amount of love and care. I understand how important it is to be gentle especially when meeting new pets who might have anxiety.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,274 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Vienna. 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 South Vienna 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 South Vienna 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 South Vienna 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.
