“Adrian does a great job with our aging dog. She is responsible and gives me daily updates. She is thoughtful and good at giving medication. I would highly recommend Adrian.”
About: I have owned and cared for animals since I was little, giving me hands-on experience with everything from high energy huskies to gentle senior pets who need a slower pace. I’m comfortable with administering oral medication’s or giving special diets and I have extensive experience with leash pullers, puppy potty training as well as shy/anxious animals. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule so your pet is rarely left alone. I am available every day except Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. During a typical visit or stay, your pet can expect plenty of walks around the neighborhood, backyard playtime or cozy indoor snuggles. I provide regular photo updates and peace of mind so you can enjoy your time away.
“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!”
“Natalie was AMAZING!! So communicative, kind, and is just an all around great person. She house-sat/watched our dog Tofu for us over thanksgiving. Tofu loved hanging out with her so much! We will definitely hire her again!”
“Shanika has house sat for us a few times now and watched our two dogs. She had been our best dog sitter we’ve found through Rover. Highly recommend her. It’s been so hard finding a reliable dog sitter since we moved to UT and she has been nothing short of amazing.”
“This was my first time using Rover. Was very happy how easy it was. Ashley was great and took good care of both Chance and my place. Would totally use Ashley again and would recommend her to any dog owner.”
About: I have a retired service dog, and can do both sitting at your home and boarding at mine. I have watched both small and large dogs, as well as cats, reptiles, and rodents. I use to work at a farm with horses, and know my way around critters both great and small. I can provide outdoor baths if the weather is above 60 degrees, and some light training if wanted. I am in college taking classes from 10 to 1, and also work as a janitor for a school, working from 4 to 7. I am not home on Sunday mornings for about 2 hours, due to church, so any dogs will need to be OK being home alone either in a crate or loose in a room for that time period. I have my retired service dog, Wiley, who is very friendly with other dogs. I have a indoor grass patch that dogs can use, as well as the lead line i can put them out on. I am not able to walk very well, so can't do long walks, but I have a good arm and can throw a ball for 20 minutes several times a day, in the park near my house. I can provide a hose bath provided the temperature is above 60 degrees, and can use my large car to go to dog parks. Dogs are allowed on the bed, but will sleep in a crate if that is how they sleep at home. I have bones for dogs to chew on, and plenty of toys. I dont allow balls in the house, my dog has learned how to throw them himself to chase.
“Lillian was everything you could ask for and more in a dog sitter! She took care of our anxious pup and also kept our house spotless while we were away for a few days. I plan on using her again anytime we leave for a trip. 100% recommend!”
About: I am a responsible and loyal pet caretaker! I LOVE all animals and have owned or pet sat dogs, cats, and rodents. I walked my neighbors dog growing up and have cared for many animals since. I'm passionate about animal care because not only do they need it, but I also need time with pets! Animals need social and emotional connection, and that is what I give to pets. I am a college student taking the summer off to work, and am looking for opportunities to care for animals! I have a part time job in which I make my own hours, so I'm usually available to care for pets when needed. I am a student and cannot have pets in my own residence, however I am very respectful of others homes and make it a priority to leave spaces better than I found them.
“Once again, Viridian took great care of our boy! She sends daily updates along with pictures and followed his schedule exactly as we layed out. I would highly recommend and 1000% use her again!!”
About: I believe every pet deserves individual attention, kindness, and respect. I am happy to follow your dog's daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I also understand the importance of communication and will gladly provide updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while your furry family member is in my care. I can arrange my schedule to provide pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am available for scheduled visits, walks, and overnight care depending on my availability. I always communicate with pet owners in advance to make sure their pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I always follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I believe in providing a clean, peaceful, and loving environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routines. I also provide regular updates and pictures so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.
About: I have 10 plus years of experience taking care of family and neighbors pets. I am happy to help in any way! If I could have a pet I would, my apartment doesn’t allow it so this is a great way for me to get my pet and animal loving fix. I have my own online business so I am very flexible throughout the week. I’m quick to respond and I’m happy to fit peoples schedules into mine. Im happy to follow whatever schedule is needed for specific homes and pets. I want the animals to feel safe and have the care they need.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 9 years. I started watching my neighbors dogs. I have grew up with 2 dogs. A 5 year old beagle, Leo (who has three legs) and a 1 year old Chihuahua/Beagle mix. I’ve always loved dogs and animals. I have an open schedule and available anytime. Morning, afternoon, or evening I will be there for your dog!! Just let me know when you will like me to come over!! I’m a college student away from her own dogs so I have a lot of love to give. I love walking or cuddling dogs or just keeping them company!!
About: I grew up with a labradoodle as my childhood pet but have also always been around dogs from family to friends pets! I have also done a little bit of cat sitting for a friend every once in a while. Im currently working full time from 8-4 Monday-Friday but would love to care for your pets anytime outside those hours and on the weekends! I’m open to adjusting to your ways of the environment you keep your pets in. I live in an apartment so I will only be doing visits in your home but will not be offering to keep your pets at my home.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Vineyard is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vineyard
Shannon watched my pup for 10 days and I could not have asked for a better sitter!! She is clearly such a dog lover and sent me pics pretty much every night letting me know my dog was doing well. She even went above and beyond and washed my sheets before I came home without me asking her which was so sweet and nice to come home to! Will absolutely be asking her to watch my pup again.
Camlyn is sweet, intelligent and conscientous. She is a great pet-sitter. She house-sat for us and was amazing! Our pets seem to really like her. Even the cat came out to be around her, which is rare for our cat. Our home was just as we left it. She is terrific!
Shanika has house sat for us a few times now and watched our two dogs. She had been our best dog sitter we’ve found through Rover. Highly recommend her. It’s been so hard finding a reliable dog sitter since we moved to UT and she has been nothing short of amazing.
Aubrey was so helpful house sitting my dog. She was dependable, kept me updated, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. My dog was happy and well cared for when I returned. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Aubrey again when I’m out of town!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Vineyard is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $48 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vineyard. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
