“Abigail was wonderful! She was very friendly, warm, and caring toward my dogs. It was clear she genuinely enjoys being around animals, which made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. I had a great experience and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, so I am very used to being around them. I love dogs but I do feel I have a close affinity with cats more. Either way they are both great to love on. I'm currently working from home right now so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur kids. I'm currently available whenever needed as long as its reasonable, and of course schedules will change the more work I take on. We have a big fenced backyard for any animals to run around it. And a dog a 2 cats that are totally fine around others. Especially the dog who would love any new friend.
“Rosemarie came to visit us and meet Lulu before the dog sitting date, which was very nice as they got acquainted with each other. On Thanksgiving Day Rosemarie arrived early and begin bonding with Lulu right away. We weee gone for a long time. Rosemarie fed and walked with Lulu. She sent us photos and even spent time cuddling with Lulu. We would definitely recommend Rosemarie and have no reservations about using her in the future as well as recommending to others. Thank you, Rosemarie!”
About: I've had a lot of dogs around me my entire life and am the first point-of-contact of my family members when they need their pets looked after. I had a miniature dachshund named Blue when I was 4 who lived to be 20 years old, so I have much experience taking care of young and old dogs. My schedule is currently very open. I recently graduated from college and am looking for work. I heard about this app from my step-sister and thought it sounded like a really fun thing to do while sending out job applications. I am unable to bring pets to my home, but I am open for drop-ins, overnight, all-day, & dog walking. I will protect your pet with my life, play with him/her a lot, and follow any instructions precisely.
About: I frequently care for dogs and cats and truly love spending time with animals. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Animals quickly feel calm around me, and their safety and well-being are always my top priority. Pet care is my main activity and fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I make sure pets get regular walks, playtime, feeding, and attention every day. I also keep their space clean and spend time giving them affection. Weekly, I plan extra outdoor activities, visits to the nearby dog park (if allowed), and interactive play to keep them happy, healthy, and engaged. 🐾 I frequently care for dogs and cats and truly love spending time with animals.

“We absolutely adore Jordan - especially Matzo! He took to her immediately and she to him! She asked thoughtful and useful questions about his needs and preferences, was great at communicating while we were gone including sharing photos and updates, when we got home the house was neat and tidy and the dog had clearly had a good time! We’ll gladly request Jordan again and are so happy she was available.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my flexibility, love for animals especially I dogs. I'm a huge dog lover. I was fortunate to have my baby Roxy for almost 14 years before she was sick. I've done community service at shelters. I choose to adopt and not shop, I don't have a problem; to each their own. I do have experience with both senior and puppies. I'm currently working part time at a health bar. My schedule is pretty flexible if I do close I get off at 5. Still have plenty of time to tend to any pups. As long as I have somewhat of notice its all good! At home my boy is spoiled. His name is Auggie, he is dog and cat friendly. He loves to run and play. I do have space in backyard, just needs some maintenance. I do live near many parks and walking trails. I has many toys, loves to play, loves to cuddle and get scratches. I let him sniff get his social media on lol. smell and explore safely of course. I understand pets move on the beat of their own drum. Some have routines, I can get acclimated with the pet. Of course play, walk, all the loving if that's what they and want. Not all dogs like the same things. I will provide whatever the pup needs.
“Great communication with us and sending pictures. We were at ease knowing my babies were taken care of. My hyper anxiety dog took right to her so did my unsocial cat. That says a lot.”
About: Welcome to my profile! Hope you find what you’re lookin for. ❤️🐶 I have been a pet lover all my life and I've spent countless personal hours learning about our furry friends.. from physiology to behavioral sciences. I've trained and cared for every family dog that has passed through my home, which has given me in-depth experience with both young, old, and special needs pets. I am confident in my ability to care for your pet, big and small. You will find my hours extremely flexible, Mon-Fri: ANYTIME! Weekends: Negotiable (I am often volunteering at this time, but send me a message and I'll see what we can work out!) My own doggy gets fed and walked twice a day. I use a Redirect and Reenforce method that keeps dogs happy while maintaining good behavior. I keep safety in mind at all times, for example: never wearing headphones while outside with a pet- both animals and people can be unpredictable! Well versed with dog park etiquette if that is something you are interested in. If someone starts to get aggressive, we bounce!
“Dmitriy was a great sitter for our 2 month old Puppy, Willow. He arrived on time and ready to go. Willow is a high energy puppy that is very mouthy and still working on her potty training. Dmitriy dived right in and worked with her to have the best day! He was very good about sending me updates and photos, which really put me at ease. When I returned home Dmitriy related that it was a good day of play, naps, and no potty accidents!! I would recommend Dmitriy for his professionalism, patience, and good care for your pet!!”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs! Spending time with animals brings me so much happiness, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am patient, responsible, and comfortable around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company, I always make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I also have a puppy of my own named Jugnu, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your fur baby. Having a puppy has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and giving animals the love and attention they need every day. I know how energetic and playful puppies can be, and I genuinely enjoy being around them! I am flexible, dependable, and willing to adapt to your pet’s routine so they stay as comfortable and happy as possible. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing at home, or getting extra belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and loved while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for walks, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to giving pets consistent attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I always follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions provided by owners. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners by being attentive, patient, dependable, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and secure at all times
About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).
“Ayanna was great to work with -- very responsive, and able to take great care of our somewhat complicated and challenging dog. Would book her again for dog-sitting and house-sitting in a heartbeat.”
About: I am 19 years old doing this so I can make some extra money on the side and currently take care of my older brother, who has autism, which has taught me how to remain composed, aware, and reliable in all situations. Those skills are easily applied to pet care, particularly with nervous, timid, or sensitive animals. For example, my own dog has depression anxiety which I make sure to tend to quickly! I can easily fit time with your lovely pets into my daily schedule. I'm free any time after 11AM because I get my brother on the bus at around nine in the morning. Since I'm still learning how to drive, I typically take the bus, train, or Uber to get around. The only thing I know is that I might have to wait until about 5 PM for my mom to return if she works overtime on a Friday, but that rarely ever happens. There is a chance that my schedule can improve so make sure to keep an eye out! I treat every pet under my care as if they were a member of my own family. Making them feel secure, understood, and loved is always my top priority. By feeding them on time, taking them for walks or play, and making sure they receive lots of attention and are comfortable, I try to keep things as simple as possible. I make sure they have everything they require, keep their area neat, and regularly change their water. To reassure the owner that their pet is happy, safe and in good care, I also provide updates and pictures
“Jelena is wonderful! As a first time user of Rover I didn’t know what to expect, but she exceeded all expectations. She was just great with our baby and sent us pictures and status every day. She also watered plants, filled my bird feeders, took out the trash and left our house neat and clean. I highly recommend Jelena, she’s the best!”
About: Me and my family enjoy animals. We have a dog of our own and had a cat. We are very attentive with pets. We will play and walk your pet. We will make sure the pet is fed and clean. We have pet sitted before for family and friends for months at a time. We enjoy taking care of animals but particularly small dogs and cats. So please call me if you would like your pet in good hands. I am in the Elk Grove area. Thank you. I can walk your pets, provide daycare or overnight care. My family will enjoy taking care of your pets. Your pet will be in good care. We love our animals ❤️ I have a big fenced yard , and have a crate. As well as a dog fence, dog beds, a cat litter box, and plenty of toys for animals to play with.
“Chynna took great care of our doggo, home and garden! They were extremely easy to communicate with, sharing plenty of pictures and updates, and were actually able to get our dog to play - which is no small feat!”
“Aspen was great for our weekend trip! She gave us daily updates and was willing to meet with us before our trip. Our dogs seemed happy and well cared for when we came back. We would book again!”
About: From playful puppies to wise seniors, I’ve cared for cats and dogs of every breed, age, and personality. With years of experience nurturing both healthy and special-needs pets, I provide a safe, loving space where tails wag and paws relax. My big yard is perfect for playtime, my cozy home is made for snuggles, and because pet care is my full-time passion, your furry friend will never be left alone. I am available 24/7 currently. I will ensure not to schedule events during your pet's scheduled visit so that they are left alone minimally for weekly errands only. I have a corner lot, on 1/4 acre with a large fenced yard. There are no stairs in my home. I live within 1 mile of a dog park. My lawn is big and we have fruit trees. No pools or items for your pup to get tripped up on or stuck under. We do have a pet pool and sprinklers for playtime and cooling off. I am currently enrolled to be certified for pet first aid and cpr. I treat all my pets with Frontline and have treated my yard for flea control

Abigail was wonderful! She was very friendly, warm, and caring toward my dogs. It was clear she genuinely enjoys being around animals, which made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. I had a great experience and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Domynique, is fantastic she is always responsive and always keeps up with updates. This is the second time she has watched Nanea (2yo pitty mix) I swear I have not seen Nanea so happy with another person as she is with Domynique. I would 100% recommend using Domynique for your pups.
Ayanna took care of our cat and dog for overnight stays during our recent vacation. They were much happier when we came home because they were able to stay home with Ayanna for company. We were particularly impressed that our very shy cat was completely comfortable with Ayanna. We would definitely book her again!
Kassandra took such wonderful care of my senior dog and was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive to all of her changing needs and occasional moods. She confidently administered her heart medication and eye drops, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was excellent throughout the stay, with thoughtful updates that helped me relax and not worry like I usually do when I’m away from my little girl. I truly appreciated the kindness, compassion, and dedication she showed, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Dottie again. Thank you, Kassandra, for taking such great care of someone who means so much to me.
This was our very first time using Rover and having a house sitter, so we were a little nervous but our experience with Claudia blew all those concerns away! She was super communicative, punctual, and kept us in the loop while we were away. We are so happy we found her and thankful that she took great care of Finn and our home!
Patrick is an excellent reliable young man with a unique ability to connect with dogs. I have 2 three year old puppies (a Coton. Mimi, and a Shi-poo, Kylo). Kylo has an issue initially meeting people - barking a lot. Patrick has an immediate soothing efffect and Kylo goes up to him wagging his tail and looking for pets. I recommend Patrick for the care of your pets and home.
This was Haile's first overnight stay with Bob and we are so happy we found her. She sends regular pictures and updates and lets us know when she arrives and leaves. Bob is obviously very happy to snuggle with her on the couch, and she's familiar with his medicines, including giving him an inhaler. We are looking forward to future stays with Haile!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Vineyard is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $83 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 2,782 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vineyard. 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 Vineyard 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 Vineyard 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 Vineyard 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.
