“Allegra constantly exceeds expectations and alleviates any anxieties I have about leaving my dogs for several days at a time. She is responsive and great with the dogs and house. I'll never book another dog sitter if Allegra is available!”
“Leah took great care of our dogs in our home, was great with communication, and left the house so clean, like no one had been there. Our husky and bulldog were undoubtedly pains in various ways, but Leah handled them gracefully and we came home to relaxed and tired pups. Hopefully Leah is available next time we need to go out of town!”
“Anne was available over MLK weekend when my wife and I went to the hospital to deliver our daughter. It was such a stressful and fast moving weekend, and Anne was amazing throughout. She let us add in a day because we needed another day in the hospital. And she took fabulous care of our dog - Charlie and our cat Max. Anne even dealt with an alarm from one of the house systems. Anne is a fabulous sitter, and we always contact her first when we need someone.”
“Seth provided excellent care for my older pup Riley making sure his meds were dispensed correctly. It was wonderful to go on a long weekend trip and have the peace of mind that my precious pup was taken care of and he was happy when I returned. Would highly recommend Seth !!!”
“Kelley was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her enough! She stayed at our home for 4 nights and truly went above and beyond in every way. One of the things I appreciated most was that she stayed with Tyson almost the entire time instead of coming and going throughout the day. Knowing he had someone there with him gave me so much peace of mind. She was also very communicative throughout her stay, sending regular updates that made it easy to relax while we were away. She was incredibly respectful of our home and left everything spotless when we returned. Most importantly, she took incredible care of Tyson. He's an older dog with some health issues, and he had some messy accidents during her stay, including in the middle of the night. She handled every situation with so much patience, kindness, and love. It was obvious she genuinely cared about him, and that meant the world to us. I would trust Kelley with Tyson and our home again in a heartbeat. She exceeded every expectation, and I would 100000% book her again. If you're considering Kelley, don't hesitate! Your pets and your home will be in the absolute best hands!”
“Kayly is AMAZING!!! She house sat for us and always communicated through texts and pics to let us know how our doggo was doing. She took Rizzo for walks around the neighborhood, played fetch with her, snuggled; all the things our dog loves :) She went above and beyond and we will absolutely be reaching out to Kayly again when we are away.”
“Michelle was really great. She was prompt and clear when communicating with me. She sent pictures and updates through out each day. Most importantly she was understanding and patient with ME as I explain in detail a lot of what my dogs need. I have a 13 yo and a 13 month old, both labs and each comes with some very specific handling needs especially around feeding and walking and Michelle was open to letting me communicate these needs. Her care and attention to the dogs' needs helped me relax on our vacation. I will definitely be asking her again to stay with the dogs. Thanks Michelle”
“Rosemary did a great job house sitting for us for 9 days and taking care of our 2 small dogs. She is very responsive with communication, regularly sent photos, and kept us informed. Upon our return, the dogs were healthy & happy, and the house was neat and clean (with one exception - which was remedied easily enough). We appreciate her help and will call upon her again! Thanks Rosemary!”
“Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!”
“Phuong has been so wonderful with our senior dog and our young cat! As a former vet tech, she has the skill to handle any situation. As an experienced pet sitter, she can be counted on to form a caring bond with your pets and make sure they get all the love and attention they need!”
“Patricha went above and beyond! She took amazing care of our pups, one of which has a medication regimen, and she handled it perfectly. She was punctual, kept us updated and sent adorable pictures and videos. She also somehow left our home cleaner than when we left on our trip? She is absolutely FANTASTIC!”
“Kathrine was wonderful with our 3 fur kiddos! She sent photos and 2-3 updates per day. We are very happy with her overnight sitter option and will certainly hire her again.”
“Morgan was exactly the sitter our pups needed! We were able to go on our trip without any worries at all. Her updates were regular and showed what a great time they were having. One of our dogs is quite particular when it comes to sitters and they were fast friends. House was left spotless and all mail and packages were brought in. Could not recommend Morgan more!”
“Layla was in great hands with Livia! She sent us photos throughout and took Layla on plenty of walks. We came home to a happy, well-looked-after pup and a house left in perfect condition—exactly as we’d left it. Livia is trustworthy, kind, conscientious, and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend!”
“Antonia is always so amazing to our three dogs. You can visibly see how happy they are when we return home from vacations or work trips when they have been with her. Antonia always goes above and beyond with our dogs even taking all three for a walk! We are truly grateful to have found her!”
“Sierra house sat for my husband and I when went away for a weekend and couldn't bring our cat and small senior dog. Sierra was phenomenal. Our senior dog can be a little more high-needs, with more frequent potty breaks (even some throughout the night), and some medication needs during meal times. We could tell that Sierra prioritized our pets, their needs, and making sure they were well cared for. Sierra kept us in the loop the entire time and was great with communication. We look forward to using Sierra in the future!”
“Addison was fantastic. She was very courteous and punctual. Reina absolutely loved her. Also, Addison fed Reina and gave her medication to her on schedule. I will definitely use Addison again to care for Reina.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vienna
Madi is our #1 booked dog sitter for a reason! She is so caring, gentle, and professional, our pup always gets so excited to see her. She makes weekend trips a breeze, and we don’t have to worry about leaving our dog with someone for multiple nights. She does a great job executing his routine, keeping us informed, and leaves our house cleaner than when she left it. Love having Madi to help our Strudel!
Alice is fabulous! She was absolutely wonderful with our little morkie! She was caring, attentive, dependable and kept us updated while we were away giving us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the moment we met Alice that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility very seriously. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a spotless home! She even cared for my 97 year old mother while we were gone, running errands for her and helping with meals. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Alice!! She is an angel.
Katie took wonderful care of Henry while we were away at the beach! Henry has anxiety with new people and Katie was willing to come meet and spend time with him twice before our trip, to make she he was comfortable with her. She was communicative, thoughtful, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. We loved getting updates and could tell Henry was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. She was reliable, attentive, and treated him like she was her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything. We’d absolutely book with Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog!
Ellie was fantastic - very communicative, reliable, and attentive throughout the stay. She took excellent care of my dog, who has been dealing with some health issues, and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a dependable pet or house sitter.
Nadia is the best - she’s so good with our cat and dog, they absolutely love her and are more affectionate with her than most people we know! We also love that she takes great pictures and sends us updates, she’s a wonderful communicator and such a respectful house guest - we always come home to our place looking better than when we left! If you’re looking for a kind, caring, responsible pet sitter who is GREAT, with animals, book Nadia - we have multiple times and will continue to do so!

FAQs for House Sitting - Vienna
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vienna on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 10,109 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 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.

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.
