“Sarah was awesome. She sent pics & a recap of how the day went every day. The dogs were happy & healthy when we got home. Our place was clean & neat. We definitely will book again. I highly recommend her.”
“Gabby Wow! You treated Roscoe with such care and love. It was comforting to know he was in excellent hands while we were out of town. We loved your daily communication and photos. Thanks for taking such amazing care of our sweet boy! We loved having you as his sitter.”
“My first time using Rover - so glad I contacted Joel. My Olive took to him immediately and I knew she would be good with Joel staying with her. I will definitely call on him again.”
About: I've had a dog since I was 10 years old and caring for him has been a big part of my life. I started dog sitting last summer and quickly realized how much I loved it! I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether we're going on walks, playing, or just relaxing. I treat every dog like my own and I make it a priority of mine to do my best to keep them in their same routine so they can be as comfortable as possible while you're away. I'll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise and love! I'll also be sure to send plenty of photo and message updates so you know your pups are in good hands! I'm going to be attending University of Kansas this fall and my schedule is very flexible. I will only have one class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday which gives plenty of time to provide attentive care throughout the day. My weekends will also be open, making it easy to accommodate weekend bookings. I will care for your pets in their home by keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I'll stick to your instructions about feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, or any other special care they may need. I want your pups to feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I will send regular photos and updates so you can be at ease knowing your fur baby is in good hands.
“Lily You gave us peace of mind while we were away. We knew you were the right person for Rose. She loved having you here. You spoiled her just like we do. Thanks so much for the pictures.The house looked great. Everything was where we left it. Lily, we definitely will call on you again probably sooner than later! ❣️”
“Lauren watched our two kitties while we were traveling and it made us feel so much better having her there! We left Lauren quite a comprehensive (maybe too many) list of instructions for our kitties, but she was very receptive and was happy to accommodate all of our requests. We came back to two happy and healthy kitties, and on top of that, a clean house! Thanks so much, Lauren!”
“Kim, was a perfect, and I do mean perfect, dog sitter and house guest. She sent multiple photos of our dog each day and spent lots of time throughout the day with her. Our dog was thrilled to have such an active and attentive companion. She was very responsive via messages and met up with us beforehand. The entire trip we felt at ease knowing our old girl was being so well taken care of. We returned home to a spotless house, happy dog, and clean sheets in our guest room. We couldn't recommend Kim highly enough.”
About: I've lived with animals nearly my entire life, and I've looked after pets for friends and family since I was young. In addition to feeding and basic care, I've dealt with elderly, special needs, and temperamental pets. I'm currently writing my doctoral dissertation for my degree at KU, so my summer is very open and flexible until I find more permanent work. I always attempt to forge a trusting friendship with any animal that I care for, frequently using their name and talking to them calmly. For my own cats, I do my best to clean their litterboxes and food areas frequently (when they aren't demanding pets and scritches, that is).
About: I have always had a big heart for all dogs. They truly are man’s best friends! I grew up with 2 dogs of my own, Melbee and Reese. I watched and helped care for them in the crazy puppy and teething stages, the feisty teenager stage, all the way up into the little old lady stage. They were the most loving, sweet dogs and I miss them so much. I think every dog deserves all the love, head scratches, and snuggles in the world and would love to be there for your dogs when you are taking a vacation or will be away! I recently rescued my wonderful dog, Puff, who’s quite the big boy! He’s 83 pounds of pure love. I love all dogs, big or small! I do work Monday - Friday from home, but I am available as early in the morning as you need and then I am available after work. I am also free on the weekends to stop by and care for your baby as much as you need! In your own home, I will make sure to keep everything exactly the way you need, clean up after both the dogs and myself, and keep your home in top notch condition. I know dogs can get messy sometimes so If you show me where the vacuum is, I will get right to work! Nothing is better than coming home to your favorite pet and a nice clean home!
“Sandra was great with my two dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of! I was a little nervous leaving them, but once I met Sandra I knew they would be in great hands. When I returned home, everything was perfect--dogs were happy and everything was cleaner than I left it. ? I highly recommend Sandra and will be using her again in the near future!”
About: I have always loved dogs and grew up with my own and truly enjoy taking care of them. I'm dependable, attentive, and experienced with petsitting, I will treat your animals like family. I work full time, but have a flexible enough schedule to care for your pets. I am very willing to negotiate a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am free in the evenings and weekends! I would prefer staying at my clients home. I have found that this is easier for the pet to be comfortable in their own home and space.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and truly enjoy spending time with them. I live in a house in Miami with a fenced yard, perfect for safe playtime and exercise. Pets in my care are treated like family — they get plenty of attention, walks, and affection. I’m home most of the day, so your dog will never be left alone for long. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a calm senior dog, I always make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and happy during their stay. I work from home most of the week, which allows me to give constant attention and care to your pets. I have plenty of time to play, walk, and make sure every dog feels safe and happy. I’m available for boarding during the week and weekends, with flexible hours for drop-off and pick-up. My home is a safe and loving environment with a fenced yard for outdoor play. Pets are always supervised, and I keep the space clean and comfortable. I can provide crate time if needed and ensure every dog gets the right balance of fun, rest, and affection. Your pup will feel at home from the moment they arrive!
“Cindy was wonderful and a great fit. I have 3 cats and one dog - all very needy. One of my cats is diabetic and Cindy did well with the morning and night time injections. I will absolutely rebook with her!”
“Nathan was amazing with my little dog! He kept me updated with messages and adorable pictures, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I’ll definitely book with him again!”
About: Hello, I have over 5 years of experience taking care of animals at veterinary hospitals and rescue groups. I worked as a pet resort/boarding manager and as a kennel attendant. My responsibilities included: walking, feeding, watering, bathing, grooming, sanitary care and pet playtime. I have always loved animals my entire life and grew up on a farm where I took care of and interacted with many different animals which I enjoyed. I have 1 dog, Stormy who is 10 years old and 2 cats, Lorraine, 2 years old and Garth, 6 months old. They are part of my family and I feel my life would be boring without them. I hope you consider me for the care of your furry family members. Thank You! My schedule can be flexible. Please contact me with any inquiries or questions and I will try to accommodate as much as possible for your furry family members. My furry family members have free range of our home and my dog, Stormy enjoys going outside in the fenced in yard. Lorraine and Garth like to play together and look out the windows at the critters in our neighborhood.
“Nico will always be my go-to when it comes to taking care of my senior doggie, Pen Pen. She’s always so caring and kind to my older gal. She knows how to read animals and Pen always feels really safe with her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vinland
Rebecca and Stewart were absolutely everything we were looking for in someone to watch the zoo in our home! Kind, responsive, trustworthy, caring. Stewart is a fun and respectful pup who got along great with the other animals in the home. I really think my dog Mishka enjoyed his company. We even returned home to a house cleaner than we left it and the animals seemed at peace (despite all the chaos/disruption that your parents traveling can bring!) I am so impressed with Rebecca and her sidekick, Stewart. I would 10/10 ask her to stay in our home again! 🥰

FAQs for House Sitting - Vinland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 866 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vinland. 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 Vinland 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 Vinland 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 Vinland 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.

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.
