“I had a last minute work request, and Elizabeth came through at a short notice and was fantastic! She is very well versed with adjusting to puppies and different breeds, and my Juni was more than happy to have Elizabeth. She sent detailed updates- which I more than appreciated as it helped calm down my nerves throughout my time away. I am so pleased with how flexible and accommodating Elizabeth has been (especially as this is my first time using Rover) and would highly recommend her for your pets!”
“Kelley was an amazing sitter for my two senior dogs while I was abroad for two weeks. Right before my trip, my older dog had an unexpected ER visit, but Kelley handled his transition and care seamlessly—even navigating a power outage—with total dedication and diligence. She provided excellent communication, frequent updates, and kept the house so well-cared for, giving me total peace of mind throughout my trip. Highly recommended!”
“Livia was great with our dogs and provided us great updates during our time away. She left our home in a wonderful state and handled our dogs care with no problem. Would happily book her for future trips.”
“Tasha was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and it was easy to coordinate with her. She sent daily updates, pictures and videos and was great with my pup. Will def use her again!”
“Miria was fabulous. Very responsive, prompt and professional. She sent us pictures and kept us informed while we were away. This was our first time working together and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Another great time having Kaylee house/dog sit for my two little pups. Couldn’t ask for a more caring and trustworthy individual to leave my home and dogs in the care of. Thank you, Kaylee!”
“Amalia took excellent care of our reactive dog, showing calmness and skill in getting him to come with her. She also took excellent care of our house. We wholly recommend her and welcome her again. Thank you Amalia!!”
“Darcy did a fantastic job of watching our pup when we went out of town for a night and a day. We don't leave him often so were a bit nervous, but she was very sweet to Benson and is clearly a responsible and conscientious person- was extremely considerate of our home, and read and paid attention to our dog care instructions.”
“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”
“GENUINELY THE BEST EVER! Leia had the best time and Katherine was attentive and very caring!! My dog previously did not have a great experience with a dog sitter, so I was hesitant about booking another. However, Katherine completely exceeded any expectations I had!! She sent regular updates and gave me the peace of mind I needed! She’s the best! Would 10/10 recommend!!!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and for families in the area. I genuinely love working with dogs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I understand that each dog has their own personality and needs and I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel most at home. I am retired and have plenty of free time to give your pet the love it deserves. I love the company of a furry friend. I’d be happy to host your furry pet or come to you, whichever works best. I match whatever the pet needs, whether that’s a calm presence or energetic friend.
“Korrey watched our animals for two whole weeks, so we could go on a much-needed long vacation. He did a great job of caring for the animals & even wrangled all 3 of them to the vet for a routine visit. He loved them like they were his own. It was a relief to know they were given such good care & love. He was conscientious, communicative, & kept us up-to-date. We were fortunate to have his big open-hearted help.”
About: I am a trust worthy person, i have a Goldendoodle of my own, so i understand how important it is to find someone loving, dependable, and attentive to care for your pup. I have over seven years of pet-care experience through other platforms, as well as caring for dogs belonging to friends and neighbors. I earned more than 210 positive reviews, which we would be happy to provide. I am a cybersecurity engineer who works remotely, and my wife is an aerospace engineering student who has classes only three days per week. This means someone is home most of the time to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and affection. I’ll care for your dog like part of my own family! Pet care fits perfectly into our routine. I work remotely as a cybersecurity engineer, and my wife is an aerospace engineering student who is away only three days per week. One or both of us are home most of the day, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home where pets can feel safe and comfortable. Since I work remotely, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. I have a friendly Goldendoodle who enjoys having company, and i introduce all dogs slowly and supervise their interactions.i follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and medication routine and provide regular photo and video updates.
“Maureen is very responsive and kept me posted about Izzy. She took great care of her and went above and beyond to make sure Izzy was cared for while I was away. I had no worries and never do when Maureen cares for her!”
“Andrea was incredible and we would absolutely recommend her! She looked after our two pups Doug and Goomba and we were assured throughout our trip that they were in good hands. She gave us very frequent updates and pictures and was extremely responsive. She was incredibly kind both when we met and via text, and I know she was just as great with our dogs. Thank you so much Andrea!!”
“Liyah was so great with our two dogs! One of them is very difficult which is why we went with a house sitter over boarding, and she worked with him so well. She communicated well, demonstrated really good knowledge of dog handling and care, and took good care of the house while we were away. Will definitely book again.”

Alice is very bright and experienced w doggies. She is capable of following the most detailed instructions regarding feeding, exercising and medications. She kept us up to date w cute videos and left our home in very good order inc laundry she used during her stay. Her price was entirely reasonable for the length of stay and amount of attention our Boston Terrier needs and wants. We hope to hire her again.
Emily house-sat for my two dogs and two cats for 3 nights/4 days, and she is the absolute best. I’ve been through many “more experienced” sitters who just didn’t give my pets the love and attention I expect, but Emily went above and beyond. I’m relieved to have finally found someone I can trust with my babies. She was extremely communicative, flexible, and kind!
Anne, Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Jazzy while I was away. She can be a bit particular at times, and you were incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to her needs. I really appreciated how carefully you followed her feeding, walking, and play routines. The photos, videos, and daily updates gave me so much peace of mind and made it clear how well she was being cared for. Knowing Jazzy was in such capable and caring hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. We are so grateful for all your help and would gladly trust you with Jazzy again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Vienna is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $81 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 9,903 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.
