“Perfect communication and care for our dog. Took great care of our home while we were away. Sends just the right amount of photos, not too many not too little. Easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Our third time with Liz and each time as been great. Thanks Liz!”
About: i've always had pets in my home! I'm very good with and have owned both dogs and cats. I've owned adult dogs as well as puppies! I love to take care of animals :) I am very flexible! I am moving in a couple months, so I don't have a time consuming schedule or responsibilities. I have more than enough time throughout the day to make time for your precious pet! I love to keep my attention on the animals. If i'm with them, I doubt i'll focus on anything else!! i'm very good at keeping them clean and observing behaviors.
“Sylas was incredible!! He took the best care of my babies and was so sweet to them. House was in perfect shape, litter area clean and smell free. Super communicative and sent lots of pictures:) Will 1000000% rebook if possible!!”
“Shanika did a fantastic job with our skittish dog. He was comfortable, happy, and cared for! Shanika sent frequent updates that gave us peace of mind while away. I would highly recommend her!”
“We LOVED having Adrian house/dog sit for us! She was very responsive and sent me lots of updates/photos/videos. I also appreciate her ability to be flexible when my flight was cancelled at the last moment. My dogs were well taken care of and seemed VERY happy while I was away, my house was spic and span when I got home. We will absolutely have Adrian as a sitter again.”
“Catie was a wonderful dog sitter! Our dog normally gets depressed when we travel and she'll not eat. It's been a game changer having Catie dog sit at the house. Our dog actually ate and was happy! She left a sweet note and took great care of not only the dog, but the house as well. Thanks Catie!! We'll definitely be rebooking.”
“She was great. Our dog was a little nervous in general but after a little bit she at least was okay with her being in the same house. Beth did a great job with her helping to keep her calm and never did anything to upset her. Great job!”
“Mark was awesome with our three dogs! He was kind and patient, particularly with our fearful rescue. He had to navigate some very nervous evenings with fireworks going off and did so with so much compassion and care, including administering medication. He managed their complex relationships and personalities without missing a beat and we will be eager to have him back for future housesitting for our pups!”
“Kirk was wonderful with our two poodles. He sent lots of pictures and took them on plenty of hikes giving these two active dogs the exercise they need. The house was spotless upon our return. Highly recommend!”
“Kelsey was absolutely great, I felt very comfortable leaving both dogs with her while away. I got multiple pictures and videos throughout the night and she was always readily available. I will definitely be using Kelsey again to watch my dogs, everything was in tip top shape when I got home!”
“Jacob was amazing! We had him stay over and watch our dogs for a few days while we went on vacation. my dogs adored him, he followed all directions, communicated well, sent me many photos and left my house just like we left it. I would highly recommend Jacob to care for your dogs. I will definitely be using him again.”
“Cindy came a met Storm before her first sitting, was curious and asked lots of questions. Cindy took lots of photos for us which we loved. She followed our instructions and asked questions as needed. Storm was well adjusted when we came home and happy.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and have cats. I have pet and house sat for the last 10 years. And I love meeting new furry friends! I’m currently in school and playing volleyball part time so I am pretty free anytime for pet care during the day and night. I am also free over weekends I make sure they are comfortable and have everything they need while their owner is gone. I am very attentive to their needs and make sure they feel safe.
“Lindsay was such an amazing caretaker for our two large dogs. She was communicative and kind. She walked them every day, sent pictures and we came home to two happy dogs! We would totally book with her again! She not only took great care of our dogs but also or home! Thank you Lindsay!”
“My dog Lilo absolutely loves Kendra. It is so comforting to know that your pet is well taken care of while you are away on vacation. Pet sitting or housesitting, I would book her again and again.”
“Madelyn was the best! She took such good care of our dog. She was great at communicating with us while we were out of the country and sent pics and updates. We came home after our trip to a happy dog. I would definately recommend her to anyone!”
“Hannah took great care of my boys and went above and beyond when there was a small mishap (100% my fault) at the beginning of her stay. She also accommodated an extension of my trip without hesitation. My home was in great shape when I returned and she provided updates to ease my mind while away. Thank you, Hannah!”

Incredibly impressed with Tyler! We’ve had many house/catsitters and Tyler clearly stands above them all. Everything from his communications, check-ins, level of care, attention to detail, cleanliness, organization, and how much he loves animals in unmatched! Don’t hesitate having Tyler help you!
First time using Rover and I for sure got the best dog sitter. It was my first time leaving my puppy and I couldn’t have been more relaxed. Shanika did a fabulous job keeping me updated. She even kept his schedule which can be a little high maintenance! 10/10 recommend!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a week while we were on vacation and took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Tomas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in his own environment with someone who truly cared for him. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all of Tomas’s routine and instructions, and treated our home with respect. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and Tomas was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.
Michelle was amazing with Mochi while I was away! She stayed overnight during my trip and sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by doing little extras like turning on cat TV for Mochi while she was away. When I came home, Mochi was in such a better mood than she has been after other trips, and I could tell she felt comfortable and cared for. I would absolutely book Michelle again!
Olivia did a great job watching our pets while we were away. She sent regular updates, communicated well, and was very sweet with both Cleo and Nando. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were being cared for and getting attention while we were gone. We really appreciated her help and would recommend her to others.
Grace was such a wonderful companion for our anxious boy! She not only took great care of him by taking him on regular walks, being patient with his uncertainty to strangers, and staying with him as much as possible, but she also was great at communicating with us. We were nervous leaving him for our trip as he tends to be very attached to the hip, but she made us feel like we could truly relax and enjoy our time away. Highly recommend booking with Grace, and we will definitely be hiring her for any future trips!
Such a great pet sitter. My dogs are super shy and they seemed to have had a good day with Barbara as a sitter. We had a slight miscommunication on instruction but she is extremely flexible and I could not have asked for a more willing sitter. We booked her last minute and I could not be more grateful I highly recommend!
Carly is very sweet, trustworthy, and respectful. She is amazing at responding quickly to text messages. We had a miscommunication about when and for how long to walk my dog, and after expressing my concerns, she made the necessary adjustments to accommodate my request. She took care of my house and left everything clean. If you are looking for an in-house sitter, Carly is a great choice.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vineyard on Rover is $33.3 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 2,477 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 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
