“You can tell that Michelle truly loves being with Animals and she loves her job. She goes above and beyond every time we are one of her clients. She’s a gem and we are so lucky to have found her!”
“Ashley is the best, she takes such good care of my boys, even if they are not behaving. She loves them like they are her own, she is one in a million so grateful for her.”
“Ann was wonderful with our dog. She was very responsive to messages, and updated us all day while she was watching him. She came by and met him a few days before, and was really understanding about him being skittish near new people. Would definitely recommend her, and hope to work with her again in the future! Thanks Ann!”
About: I've had dogs since I was a child. I feel comfortable handling dogs with all sorts of quirks & needs. I have owned/lived with dogs of all ages and breeds but have a soft spot for seniors. I currently have a 13 year old pit mix who enjoys daily walks. I am passionate about animals, and I am committed to providing amazing care to your dogs/cats! I am currently working full time during the week. My availability for walking during the week after 4:30pm and I am flexible on the weekends. When with your animal, I will treat them as I treat mine - with care, love, and compassion. I am extremely responsible and committed to the safety of your pet above all.
“Haley was really great and communicative with us! I could tell our pets were cared for and she took care our house while we were away. We will definitely be repeat clients for our next venture if she'll keep having us!”
About: I’ve mostly dog-sat for family and am excited to branch out. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from French bulldogs to Great Danes. I love making dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away and always follow routines. I treat every dog like my own. I am currently working part time as a waitress on weekends and Wednesdays. I am also a full time college student, half online and half in person. I follow owner instructions and keeping pets in their normal routine while in their own home. I’m attentive to doors, leashes, and schedules, and I make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I communicate with owners and update them if anything seems out of the ordinary.
About: I've cared for many pets during my life including exotics, cats, dogs, and birds in all age groups from babies to seniors. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I am currently retired with my husband. We eschool our twin boys during the day. I can pop out to do pet care and have a flexible schedule. We do travel a lot during school breaks and in the summer. I am eager to help out with home visits or walks. I enjoy all kinds of pets and don't shy away from those who need special care. Typically I visit dogs in their homes three times per day at whatever schedule works best for the pet and me. Some may need more or less visits and I can be flexible. I do not care for dogs or cats in my home. My two cats don't like other pets, unless it's a pet that lives in a small crate or cage, such as a guinea pig.
“Rebecca is great! My pups adore her. They are both on several medications and she is great at administering them. She also is quick to reply and sends pictures often. I trust her completely with my home and babies.”
About: Hi! I’m Jaylin, and I’d love to care for your pets like they’re my own. I’ve always been an animal lover and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’m happy to provide the care they deserve. I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work a full time job but I am willing to leave in my breaks (1 hr break and if in the area) to come care for your animal! I am off at 5pm daily and completely free on the weekends I will not be able to care for animals inside my home currently, but I will come to you! I have 3 kitty’s in my home and they are all well fed, well played with, and cared for.
“Amy watched our girls last minute for a week vacation. We have two large dogs (55lb and 75lb) which she did an amazing job with. She sent us updates daily to let us know how they were doing. I would highly recommend!”
About: We have owned our great Pyrenees mix for 8 years now, and have boarded our families dogs when needed. Our dog loves to have friends over. We are a flexible and loving home. My husband and I have jobs where we are able to work from home every day of the week, so your dog will be with a trusted sitter 24/7. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of room for a second dog. We routinely take walks with our dog and would love adding another.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5+ years. Friends and family have relied on me to feed, take out the dogs, play, bathe their pets. I am going into my 2nd year of teaching and as we are on summer break, I will have more availability/flexibility. I will also have all the time in my hands to spend it with your furry friends! I provide feeding your pets, spending quality time with your fur babies. As well as being companion to your pets. Gentle care and true service.
“Did a wonderful job house sitting for my 4 dogs! Was very responsive and sent pictures/videos for us. I felt like she was very reliable and followed all instructions I had for each of my dogs.”
“Justin took care of our poochers for a test night. Our one doggie takes a bit longer to warm up, and Justin was kind enough to do multiple meet and greets, and a test night. He's been patient, caring, and accommodating to get the furries comfortable. Couldn't recommend him enough!”
About: I have grown up around dogs over 10 years, specifically golden retrievers but now have a Belgian malinois of my own! I have taken care of friends dogs for weeks at a time, as well as just letting their pups out when needed! I love animals and would love to expose my 1 year old belgian to more dogs as he is very high energy and loves to play! I’m currently working part time in the evenings but am home all day to watch and play with your pups! My husband is home in the evening while I’m working so someone would always be with them. On weekends we are both home and can take them on walks and to a green space in our neighborhood to run. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run. I have a one year old dog to provide company for your dog as well! My dog is crate trained and I can crate other dogs if requested by owner. We allow our fur baby to sleep with us occasionally so your dog is welcome to sleep in our bedroom too!

On Fridays, I have clinical from 6:00–11:00 AM (though this is not every week, so I may have additional availability), along with a lab from 12:00–2:50 PM.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Vienna
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,246 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Vienna. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
