“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!”
“Rosemary was a legit godsend. She was amazing and I'm so happy I found her. My situation was very unique and she took it in stride. But the main thing was she helped my dogs feel comfortable and loved in a brand new house. She sent so many photos which helped ease my mind. Then she left my house super clean. I couldn't even tell she had been there. I will hire her again and recommend her to all my fellow dog people.”
“Sarah took wonderful care of our dog, Marley. She sent lots of photo updates throughout his stay. We always felt confident that Marley was safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands. We were especially grateful for Sarah’s flexibility when our flight home was canceled unexpectedly. She was able to extend her care and watch Marley for an extra morning until we could get home, which was an enormous help during a stressful travel situation. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter.”
“Stephanie was an excellent sitter for our dog while we were gone for a week. She was very communicative and provided daily pictures of our dog playing, laying or just enjoying her presence.”
“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.”
“Miria was great with our cat for a week long trip - she was extremely responsive and sent tons of videos of her while we were gone, which was great for peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

“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!!”
“Kaylee was absolutely wonderful with my two teacup pups! From the moment I met her, we felt completely at ease knowing our babies were in such caring and capable hands. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Kaylee kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dogs and treated them like her own. When I returned home, our pups were relaxed, happy, and clearly loved. My home was also well taken care of, and everything was exactly as I left it. I couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter. I highly recommend Kaylee to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate sitter. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“We had so much peace of mind while Winnie was watching our dog and cat. She met with us ahead of time so our pets would feel comfortable with her, she asked us ahead of time the frequency of updates we preferred, and she was very communicative throughout her stay with our pets. We will definitely be using Winnie the next time we go out of town!”
About: As a proud owner of an adorable Yorkie, I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog like family. I have hands-on experience caring for my own 10 pound pup and feel especially comfortable caring yours. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I strive to make them feel safe, happy and loved. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, exercise and daily routines to ensure your furry friend receives attentive, personalized care. I work a hybrid schedule during the week, which gives me the flexibility to coordinate pet care around my workday. I’m available for dog walking, dog sitting, and house sitting, and I enjoy making time for animals to receive companionship and attention they deserve. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise and affection and maintaining familiar routines. I would be proactive in communicating with you to coordinate expectations as well as ensuring that I provide dependable care while you are away. As a Yorkie parent, I understand the importance of patience, compassion and attentive care. My own dog experienced separation anxiety, so I prioritize quality time, regular meals, exercise and helping him feel safe and helping him feel safe and comfortable. I provide gentle, loving attention, follow their routines, and make their well-being is my priority. I want every furry friend to feel secure, cared for, and loved while their family is away.
“Raymond was super thorough and very communicative. He did a fantastic job watching our senior dog and was very conscious of moderating her walks during extreme heat. He clearly loves dogs and prioritizes their happiness and wellbeing. Would definitely book Raymond again!”
“Melinda was amaizing! We loved her style. She was so careful and kind to our baby and our house. She sent frequent updates and pics. So thankful for her care.”
“Amanda exceeded my expectations. She asked good questions at our meet and greet. It's been a great relief to not worry about my dogs. She sends frequent updates and makes it super easy to contact her.”
“Andrea was phenomenal! I felt totally confident leaving our big boy Bruno with her. She was very communicative with lots of updates and very responsible in our home and with instructions. Thank you for everything!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vienna
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!!!
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.
