âHands down we had the BEST experience using Michelle! This was our first time ever leaving our labs over night. We were a little worried, but Michelle came twice before our scheduled weekend to meet our pups and talk through their day to day activities:) She put us at ease throughout our entire time away by sending updates and pictures of our pups playing and having a great time without us! She really did go above and beyond for our family and made the time away so much easier! We will definitely use Michelle and only Michelle whenever we need to be away from our furry children again!â


âToni did an excellent job house sitting and caring for our dogs! She communicated wonderfully throughout her stay and was attentive to their needs. She made sure they got plenty of walks, attention, and quality time, and it was clear that the dogs absolutely loved having her around. She also went above and beyond in caring for our home. She stripped the guest bed and put the sheets and towels in the washer, washed the dishes, and kept everything clean. Toni was wonderful to work with, and we truly appreciated the care she gave to both our dogs and our home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be working with her again in the future!â

About: I have been surrounded by all sorts of animals since I was a child! This including dogs, cats, and even reptiles. However I have been taking care of animals for over 5 years now when I began dog sitting! Since then, I then went on to work at a pet store, where I worked with all sorts of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, bunnies, ferrets, etc. At this store, I was responsible for bathing and grooming, cleaning, administering medication, and feeding! I thoroughly enjoy being surrounded by animals and hope to for the rest of my life! Iâm currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to taking care of your animals!!! I am a college student currently so visiting your animals will also serve as therapy for me as well. I have availability in the afternoons into the evenings and am willing to stay at your homes until later in the night, overnight, or even the stop in to provide a walk or a visit to keep your baby company! I am not capable of providing in home services as I am a college student, but in your home I will be able to feel comfortable in your home environment, ensuring that the pets also feel comfortable in their own space!
âCassandra was great with my two senior dogs. They got plenty of attention and snuggles. She seemed very comfortable with taking care of them. The house looked great , also, when I got home. I will not hesitate to use Cassandra again, if I have a need.â

About: Through word of mouth, I have had the pleasure to service dozens of families with pet care for the last 7 years; care including medical administration, long term care, overnights, feeding, walks, and plenty of love. Currently I am available for overnights in home as well as care throughout the day. I nanny on Mondays and Thursdays so if there is midday service needed those days, I can bring the kiddos as long as you are comfortable with children in your home and your fur babies are used to children and their play. I prefer taking care of pets in their home to reduce the anxiety and/or stress of a routine change. The more at ease and at home (get it?) your babies are, the better.
âErin 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.â

About: Iâve been an animal lover my entire life and have over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with cats and have spent the last several years loving my own Aussiedoodle, Scout. We recently lost our cat, and I truly miss those kitty cuddles, so Iâd be thrilled to spend time caring for yours. Whether itâs walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply giving your pet companionship while youâre away, Iâll treat them like family. Iâm active, dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your petâs routine exactly as you prefer. Iâll also send plenty of photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Iâm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet check-ins. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, a long walk, or some extra love while youâre away, Iâll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your furry family member happy, exercised, and cared for. Your petâs safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so Iâll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I believe in earning both your trust and your petâs trust through patience, consistency, and kindness. Youâll receive regular updates and photos during each visit, and Iâll always treat your home with the same respect Iâd expect someone to show mine.

We canât wait to have Anna take care of our fur babies again!â

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I am known as the dog whisperer. It' is rumored amongst pets of the existence of a dog petter who has the most loving energy. Many dogs only believe it to be legend. It is a real live person. It is me the dog whisperer. I have experience walking, administering meds through mouth and providing exercise and treats. There is no pet to big or small. I love them all. I have a rather flexible schedule due to working online. Only times I am not available when traveling for business as host for a travel group. I care for pets to the instructions of the pet owner. I know most dogs that are properly cared for require a lot of attention and prefer to be in the company of someone. I enjoy the company and love to give quality time to dogs. Such as playing fetch tug a war or long walks.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11 and have experience with a wide veriety of small to large size dogs. Experience includins walking, playing, pottying , brushing and giving medicine. Pet care is my primary focus as I am not employed elsewhere. Because I stay at the pet's home, my routine is based around care of the pet. I spend my time in the client's home playing with and caring for the pet(s). I follow the pet's routine as directed by the client, providing walks, feedings, play and bedtime routines the pet is accustomed to having.
About: Often families are surprised because their pets naturally bond with me, this is why my family calls me a animal whisperer. I have been caring for animals for most of my life and even worked for a veterinarian for two years. I work full time during the day, so pet care is my evenings-and-weekends joy â available weekdays after 4pm, weekends all day, and for overnight house sits. I mostly house sit and dog walk, and I can also offer bathing and unlimited belly rubs! I'm comfortable with most dogs, but I do require a meet & greet first to determine the fit. And it's not just dogs and cats â hamsters, reptiles, and exotic pets are welcome too, just message me to inquire first so we can talk through their routine. I have taken care of animals with allergies and behavior issues without any problems. I can follow directions that you may have for your pet.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Vienna
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,243 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 sitterâs 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 homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
