“She has her own bedroom at our house. She’s here a lot. Funny thing is we probably wouldn’t even recognize each other at the grocery store. She would sure recognize the dogs, though. Need I say more? Lol.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, i’ve even lived on a farm! I enjoy the company animals give me and how I can understand their love and appreciation without words. I have been around pets from dogs and cats, to turtles and ferrets. I have always been able to bond well with plenty of animals and it makes me happy knowing I can take care of them. I am a full-time college student at UToledo, majoring in Psychology! Although I am taking 5 classes, I still have many gaps in my schedule, and I would love to be able to use my time to play with animals! At the moment, I do not have my own animal, as my previous one passed away. I'd love to make my day a bit brighter and more exciting by watching your sweet animals! Unfortunately, I will not be able to pet-sit or care for any animals in my own home due to living in an apartment, having no fenced-in yard, and not having much space for pets to roam around. I am able, though, to go to anyone’s home to watch their pet and take it from there. I love being outside, so walks are definitely a must for animals that need lots of walking (or any cats/other animals who love to go outside). I will take pictures to send to the animal's owners, record medical information, clean up after the pets/bathroom area, and take on any other needed requests. I will ask questions and get to know what I can/can’t do with the pets before I try to do anything! I am very flexible, and I am here to help you and make your life easier!
“Our fur babies were in good hands with Natalie. She kept us informed of how they were doing and gave them extra attention while we were gone. Definitely will have her watch them again for us.”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I am a certified dog groomer as of 2019. I also take in stray kittens and find them vet help as well as their forever families. I currently don't work, my kids are home for the summer. I have 3 cats and a dog. My animals are feed 2 times a day. I used to be a mobile groomer so I have experience with coming to clients homes and discussing comfort levels and needs of their pets.
“Emma did a great dog with our dog while we were away! Made sure she got outside and our fur baby was surprisingly calm when we arrived back home. It stormed and she even rescued my windchime and picked the over abundance of veggies that ripened while we were gone!”
About: Since loosing my boy Copper I thought what better way to get that hole he left in my heart filled . I have lots of love to give if thats what your furry friend needs or lots of space if they prefer that to. My love for our fury friends runs very deep. & i have experience caring for them all! Im very active so there would be no worry on your pet missing a walk or play time. My husky was reactive on a leash so im always careful and hyper focused on my surroundings when on walks or doing anything outside with them. I have a small fenced in area of my yard that goes off my deck, an about an acre of unfenced for leashed strolls ,along with some wooded area that has a small loop around it perfect for sniffs! I also know of some secluded hiking spots for any reactive dogs that need longer walks and space from others. Saftey is most important to me, so im kind of a helicopter mom when it comes to any pet in my care! My husky was on severel medications for seizures and arthritis so I am used to scheduled medication as well. I have a giant garden and live a small homestead life. I am always home. & its important to me to stay with the pets while they are in my care! I have a small fenced in yard for them to relax in or go potty , along with a small wooded area with a loop for all the sniffs ! My area is safe and quiet as well.
About: I’ve been around any type of animal since I’ve remember. I’ll make sure your little fur balls are well taken care of under me and everything will be set. Super understanding and easy to get along with and I love to make bondings with them! I’m currently in college and go to class in the morning and get out around 12:30. After class ill be over and ready to take care of your fur babies. For my personal pets I make sure they are spoiled and are happy and in a clean area they have a big yard to run around and play in. For your fur balls I’d make sure to take them on a decently long walk on a good day or car rides if that’s what your dog likes! They will be spoiled with treats if they’re good for me and if I’m doing a dog sit at home I’ll make sure to play with them and make sure they don’t feel left out.
“Cheyanna was fantastic and Emmett loved her staying with him for a week! When we came back from our trip, Emmett was healthy and happy, and the house was even cleaner than we left it.”
About: My name is Ashley, I've loved pets and have had them my whole life. I worked as veterinarian assistant for many years. Pets become family and deserve to be treated like family, I'd be happy to give them that love and attention while you’re away. I have done house sitting and dog walking in the past for clients. It's so rewarding! I also have experience administering medications, giving injections and other medical treatments, as well as caring for special needs pets. I currently work a full time job during the week. My weekly work schedule is from 7am-3pm.

“We have had Randi several times to stay at our house with our senior dog Ellie. Randi takes better care of Ellie than we do! She is very good at giving Ellie all of her different medications and taking her out for several walks during the day, she pays attention to exactly how Ellie is feeling and adjusts her care accordingly. She has great advice on healthy snacks for Ellie and non toxic skin care. She truly cares for our dog and we are grateful to know she is in good hands while we are away! Randi is also great with communication, even if I don’t always respond, she still sends me lots of pictures and updates so I know what’s going on. Thank you Randi!!!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Crystal. This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter since before COVID and since he has been going through chemotherapy, so needless to say we were feeling very anxious about it. From the moment we first spoke, Crystal put all of our worries at ease. She was extremely responsive and communicative from even before our meet and greet, and we could immediately see that our dog would be exceptionally well taken care of. While we were away, Crystal provided frequent updates and pictures. Our dog can be a big handful (super dog reactive; complicated medication regime etc.), but Crystal made us feel SO comfortable and we were extremely confident that our pup was in great hands. She left our house cleaner than when we even left, and our dog clearly loved his time with her. We are so grateful for Crystal and will definitely be seeking out her help again!!!”
About: I have owned a dog since I could remember, every time I see a dog, my head goes out the window because I am such a dog lover. I will not only treat your dog like a pet, but like a member of the family, as he/she is a member. I will walk your dog, feed, in-home visits, etc. It would be an honor to be able to be around dogs all day. I would love the opportunity to keep your fur babies safe, healthy and having fun throughout the day. I have plenty of experience raising a dog in the family and I will treat your dog like my own family dog. You can ensure that you can put your fur babies trust in me.
About: I have been taking care of animals for majority of my life wanted to be a vet at a young age but chemistry kicked my butt now I'm a medical social worker. I even learned Dog CPR. My dog, Milo, I trained as a puppy is now a certified therapy dog. I work full time but my roommate is home during the summers. I love doing fun activities with my pups such as walks, hikes, dog parks or frozen towels with food for brain stimulation. Training and teaching are an added plus Fully fenced in yard and free ranged of the home if responsible but if needed we have a room we can set up a crate as well.
“Hanaa did an amazing job caring for our golden doodle while we were away for 10 days. Our pup went on daily walks and had lots of playtime and cuddles. She was very communicative, responsible, and willing to go the extra mile. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to feel at ease about your pet being cared for while you are away!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Vienna
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 632 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across 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 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 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 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.
