“Nina was great. Easy to communicate with. Dogs were happy and well cared for. I'm extremely picky about my dogs and who cares for them and Nina did a great job. She stayed at my house while we attended a wedding I never once worried about the dogs. The cute pictures she sent were an added bonus.”

About: I’ve worked with dogs of all ages as a receptionist at a busy doggy daycare and animal hospital, where I got to know pups of every personality and need. I have basic training in puppy care which I use positive reinforcement techniques to help puppies learn good behavior and socialization, making their experience fun and stress-free. For senior dogs, I provide gentle, patient care tailored to their health needs and comfort, including administering medications and adjusting activities to their pace. Every pup are treated like they’re my own with love and patience. I will ensures every dog feels safe, happy, and well supported while you’re away. I’m fully available to provide attentive pet care throughout the weekdays and on weekends. While I’m actively working on building my design business, my schedule remains flexible. I will inform you immediately if any changes occur. Until then, I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! *As a reminder, please make sure you and your pup is okay being around my small 12lb pup and having my husband around.* All dogs will safely be in my secure, fenced yard where my 3 year old Min Pin mix loves to play with new friends. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, provide exercise, companionship, and maintain a clean, comfortable environment.

About: I have always been a huge animal lover and have been around cats and dogs my whole life. I have one cat of my own and I have had her for 10 years now. I also have 2 dogs. I grew up always having cats and dogs in the family. I would love you watch your pets and make sure they are happy and healthy while you are out of town, or at work all day. Message me for dog walking, drop in visits, or other inquires. I will always treat your pet as my own, and make sure that they are comfortable while you can’t be with them. I hope that you contact me to help you take care of your pets while you are away from home! I am going to school full time, but I am very flexible with my hours with half my classes being online this semester. I play with my own pets throughout each day and walk my dogs often. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that are friendly once they warm up to new people and that would love to meet new friends. At drop in visits, I care for your pet based off the information the owner gives me.

“I really appreciated that Brianna knows that each dog will have its quirks and was ready and willing to adapt to a dog who can be aggressive/intimidating at first. Through patience and treats, she and Mack became good friends! She was very responsive and accommodating, and she kept a good level of contact throughout the weekend.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better pet and house sitter! She kept us updated every day with messages, photos, and videos of our pets, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We especially loved hearing about what was happening around the neighborhood, including updates on a woodpecker that visited our back deck. She went above and beyond by offering to take out our garbage and water our plants, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Our dog enjoyed daily walks, and our cats received plenty of snuggles and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our pets and our home. We returned to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. We highly recommend her and would gladly book her again!”

About: I've grown up with dogs and have always loved caring for them. Through taking care of my own dogs, I've learned the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, and lots of love. I'm responsible, dependable, and will always treat your pet like they're part of my own family. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently work part-time Friday through Sunday, but I have flexibility throughout the rest of the week. I'm committed to providing dependable care and will always communicate clearly about my availability before accepting a booking. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I also believe in providing regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I am an energetic person and love to work with animals outside. I do enjoy walks with them, and I got to work on a dude ranch a few years ago! Animals were always around! I love to engage with pets and keep them engaged till they are ready to relax. I am a full-time archaeologist, but I have time when I'm not traveling for work in the afternoons. I am looking to take on some extra work and get to care for some pets! I can't have a cat or dog due to my travel, but I love to be around them. I love to play with cats and dogs whenever I care for them. I give them the time they need to get used to me, and play more when they want to be near me or give them as many pets as they request. I am huge on getting dogs outside and getting their energy out.

Rory and Duchess bonded quickly after introductions and I trust my girls instincts. He was very professional and was very flexible and accommodating for my spoiled Duchess’s needs. I will be rebooking with Rory with all my future fur baby sitting needs.”

About: I am also a pet sitter on the app TrustedHouseSitters and really enjoy the journey of pet sitting! I grew up LOVING dogs but was never allowed one and only grew up with cats & a bearded dragon of my own, so I would only get the chance to be with dogs when it came to friends having them. As I got older and attained my own place, I took it upon myself to dog sit for my friends, family, and sometimes neighbors. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now, in my home and their homes as well. The longest I have dog sat is for a year for a family friend while they were away in the military. (The dog was untrained and very hard to take care of lol) I have an unconditional love for all animals! I am a fashion model and a brand ambassador, so my work is all very flexible and I get to decide when I will work. When saying in home and taking care of your pet, I will take all the precautions and needs that are to be provided to your pet seriously.

FAQs for House Sitting - Vermillion

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,832 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vermillion. 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 Vermillion 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 Vermillion 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 Vermillion 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 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vermillion. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
