“Anne was terrific with our “ever busy” border collie, Izzi! She was able to pick her up from day care and then stayed with her in our house 6 days. As difficult as it was to leave her for so long, we felt more comfortable with her staying in familiar surroundings. Izzi seemed happy which made us happy! We had pictures every day and overall great communication. We will definitely call Anne again and highly recommend her services! Thank you so much!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic. She communicated regularly and sent pictures often. She also went above and beyond cleaning up which was a nice surprise after a week of business travel. I would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again.”
“Seth was great! He kept in touch with me all the time I was away. The dogs seemed to be happy and well cared for as was my home. He cleaned up before my return, in fact when I got back I could hardly tell that anyone had been in my home! My dogs are hugely important to me and I'm at home with them a lot, so knowing there was someone spending a descent amount of time with them each day while I was away made all the difference to me being able to relax on my vacation.”
“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.”
“Nadia was super nice and mindful with max’s needs. She and her entire family took care of max during Christmas and made him feel welcome (he has separation anxiety). She sent me constant updates with pictures and videos and even asked for detailed instructions before dropping max. I will definitely book Nadia for max in the future. She’s the best dog sitter.”
“I’m so glad I found Madi to watch my Honeybear. Super duper on updates which I love. I’m excited she will be able to watch her when I go away for a longer trip this year too. She is my child and I get home sick away from her. It’s nice having someone trustworthy to ensure your fur baby is being well taken care of. House was just the way I left it which I very much appreciate and she took amazing care and attention to my baby esp with giving her meds orally and topically. This is huge. We 💜Madi.”
About: I’ve care for family dogs my entire life, giving me experience with different personalities, sizes, energy levels, and routines. I myself had a pitbull mastiff and am comfortable caring for all dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection while following each owner’s instructions carefully. My experience caring for senior cats with changing health needs has also made me patient, observant, and attentive to subtle changes in an animal’s behavior or comfort. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a slower, calmer routine, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like family. I’m currently in between jobs so I’m available to take care of your pets within a day’s notice. If you need to cancel, please provide notice 3 days prior. I do not offer services regarding keeping animals at my home, as we have too many that aren’t socialized. I have no problem with crate trained animals and will follow whatever specific instructions you leave regarding your animals’ care and needs.
“We were grateful for Sophia to care for our home and pets. She did a great job and was very professional, and cared for everything well. We would recommend her and would work with 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!”
“Phuong was fantastic with our three doggies while we were away on vacation. She was especially amazing in dealing with my 9 year old special needs Rottweiler who is diabetic. 10 out of 10 for Phuong!!!”
“Alexandra was a wonderful petsitter for our older dog while we were gone for a week. She provided him with much love and attention and gave us with daily updates and photos. We will definitely be a repeat client with her!”
“Livia was great!! She was able to come to our house for a meet and greet a few days before our last minute trip away on a holiday weekend. She was timely, flexible with our schedules, and comfortable with our four dogs and one cat. She gave us consistent updates and photos, which were super appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Livia again to pet sit our furballs. Thanks Livia!”
“Jennette took the time to come meet our “old ladies”. They took to her, in time and we were pleased she would be watching our girls for a few days. She kept us up to date and we would gladly have her watch our old ladies again. Very serene around our doggies.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Vienna is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vienna
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!
Anne took wonderful care of our dogs for two days in our house, and we really appreciated her care. One of our boys is very old and struggles to walk sometimes and has had some trouble eating, so it meant a lot knowing Anne was so attentive to his needs. She was responsive and great with both of our dogs. Due to travel for work, it’s difficult for me to be away from our boys, and Anne sent lots of great pictures and kept me updated on everything they were doing. She was also excellent at responding to all my questions and concerns. We trust her completely to care for them like they were her own, and we would definitely recommend her.
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.
Alice was absolutely fantastic, and we would not hesitate to use her again in the future. We were a bit nervous using a new sitter for the first time while leaving on an international trip, especially because one of our dogs is very high energy. Alice exceeded our expectations in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. During our trip, one of our dogs developed an upset stomach, and Alice was exceptional at communicating with us throughout the entire situation. She kept us updated regularly, handled everything calmly and thoughtfully, and made sure our dog was well cared for. When we returned home, both dogs were happy and well cared for, and our house was honestly in even better condition than when we left it. It was clear that Alice treated both our pets and our home with incredible care and respect. We would absolutely recommend Alice to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring house and pet 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!
Bahman was great with Xena and Bray. From the beginning call, he asked thorough questions to ensure he was a good fit with my dogs and knew everything he would need to do to care for them. He sent daily updates with photos to make sure I had peace of mind while on the road. Came home to a clean home and happy puppies. Thank you for taking such great care of them!
Jessica was terrific about helping us out at the last minute with house sitting while my 99 year old mother was in the hospital, and her discharge was quite delayed. Jessica stayed with our English Setter to make sure he could snuggle with her and be taken out for walks in our fenced backyard. She sent photos and even offered to help us get my mom safely back into our home.

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.
