“Lisa took great care of our 11 week old puppy we were leaving for the 1st extended period…we are beyond happy on the entire experience and will definitely have her again!”
About: I have been house/pet sitting for a few years now. But aside from that I have a dog and cat of my own! I love hanging out with animals and giving them love and affection. I have loved animals since I was little and have helped take care of my pets since elementary school! I would love to show your animals some love while your away, letting them know they are safe! I am currently unemployed and have a bunch of free time to engage with your animals! I want to include taking care of loving animals into my weekly and/or daily routine! I will walk your dog, play fetch, snuggle and give lots of tummy rubs! I know that your pet will be most comfortable in their safe, familiar environment and want to make sure that your pet is happy!
“Jessica is our go to sitter and walker. She takes loving care of our boy Ziggy, and he absolutely loves the care and attention he gets from Jessica. Jessica will go the extra mile.”
“Autumn is one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever booked! She was very communicative, handled each dog perfectly despite their individual quirks and overall made me feel so much better about going on vacation! I absolutely recommend Autumn to look after and love your animals!”
About: I’m an avid dog watcher for family and friends, and an avid cat owner who has experience with many cat personalities! I’ve cared for senior dogs and cats, and young ones as well. Each pet is unique and I love to get to learn their quirks and develop a friendship with each and every one. I currently work part time, anywhere from 6-8 hours a day with a maximum of 4-5 days a week. My schedule is very flexible and often local so that I can devote as much time as possible to taking care of fur babies! I make it a point to be very thorough and respectful when in other people’s homes, I am sure to treat pets like I would if they were my own!
“Cara was fantastic with our dog. She sent us multiple pictures and kept us up-to-date on how she was doing. The house was very clean as well when we arrived home. 100% would book with her again.”
“Leaving your pets is difficult, especially when they are senior dogs. It was our first pet sitting with Rover. We selected Michael because of the customer reviews and rebooks. From the start he was professional, very communicative, asked the right questions and has a genuine interest in animals. My shy, very protective 9 year old was immediately in his lap and did not leave… which was very surprising- but they say a dog knows… I received pictures, updates, and stories about their quirky personalities that for someone watching your dogs for the first time was refreshing. The house was better than what I left it including washing the sheets and remaking the bed. Do I recommend Michael? Well I’m afraid to do so because I don’t want him to book up!! But yes, my dogs were healthy, happy and literally quite spoiled. I hope that he is free the next time I need to take a trip, but will probably book my trip around his schedule!!! Thank you Michael for taking such good care of my babies!! You made my time away stress free.”
About: ⭐️ Pet sitting professionally since 2016 ⭐️ Experience with dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles and open to all kinds of new fuzzy & scaley friends! ⭐️ Detailed updates and lots of photos ⭐️ Reliable communication and flexible schedule I love what I do and take pride in the quality care I provide my clients and their pets. I always make sure to keep an open line of communication, and fill out the Rover card thoroughly, so you have all the information possible about how your pet is doing while you’re away! ✨️DROP-IN CARE:✨️ Tailored care for your pet including food, water, potty breaks, oral medications, and as much love and play time as they are comfortable with! Drop Ins can be scheduled anytime between the hours of 7am and 8pm. My service radius is 15 minutes from my home, located near Camp Bow Wow. I do my best to try to create a bond with your pet(s) while you’re away to earn their trust and help them enjoy our visits a little bit more. The first few visits will likely begin with some treats just to get a little more acquainted. If your pet has any allergies or sensitive tummy issues, please let me know! If there are any other expectations when I stop by, feel free to ask so I can confirm those services. For safety and comfort, I do require a Meet and Greet to be completed before every new client’s booking begins. After our Meet and Greet, I will send you a link to my LinkTree where you can access my Drop In Questionnaire. It will cover most things we talk about during the Meet and Greet, along with some extras like emergency contact info, and photo release so I can use my favorite photos for my Rover Instagram if you’re comfortable with that! ✨HOUSE SITTING:✨ During house sitting stays, I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, medications, and plenty of affection. In addition to caring for your pets, I can also help with basic home care tasks such as bringing in mail or packages, watering plants, taking out trash bins, or other small household tasks. If there is something else you would like done while you are away, feel free to ask so I can confirm those services. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout your trip so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Every booking includes daily updates and overnight care from approximately 9pm–6am, along with daytime visits and plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day. Because I maintain an active pet sitting business and family schedule, I may occasionally leave the home for drop-in visits, errands, appointments, or other obligations. If your pet has specific companionship needs or limitations on how long they can be left alone, please let me know so we can determine if we're a good fit. You may notice my profile says "Brenda & Skyler." Rover originally required Skyler to be added to my profile when I offered in-home boarding. While he remains listed on the account, I personally complete all drop-in visits, housesitting services and client communication. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! If you’d like to follow our adventures on Instagram, Facebook or Tik Tok, you can find all our Rover social media links here: linktree. com/roverwithbrendag I am a stay at home mom to teens, so I'm not tied down to nap schedules anymore. 😉 I have an open schedule that allows for lots of flexibility! Safety is my number one priority. During visits, I always make sure to watch my feet, especially while going in or out of exterior doors, and make sure to stick to your house rules to ensure pets safety. For example, I cared for a cat who liked to eat plastic bags, so I followed their house rule to put away all plastic bags in the closet after I was done scooping the litter.
About: I have taken care of many animals including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, and fish. Family and friends have trusted me since I was 8. I have taken care of seniors and puppies and am working towards my training certification Im working part time but hoping to make this full time. Im available to be with the animals all days on my days off. And willing to do as much as I am capable of I am able to do what ever your needing me to do including medications. As of right now I am currently relocating to bremerton so will be able to have more flexibility here soon
About: I have had fur babies my whole life often had others babies in my home as well. Animals are family and are treated as such I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to love and play with your babes. Will treat them as if they are mine they are my own. I have a little pug to keep your babe company and will follow whatever rules you have set in place. I will kennel them if that's your preference.
“Highly recommend! Shalindra provided a week of in-home care for our two dogs, a guinea pig and a gecko. She was delightful to work with. The dogs took to her very quickly, and she was affectionately patient with their unique/opposite personalities. I especially appreciated her daily photo and video updates, and how careful she was to ask questions and provide details on anything happening at the house. I felt confident all was well cared-for, and was truly able to enjoy the time away because Shalindra had everything covered at home.”
“Brian and Katherine are both fantastic! My dogs love seeing them and I feel confident in their abilities to look after them well. They are great with communication and super reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for a second.”
“Bevin left my house clean and tended, all linens washed and replaced, the garden watered and, most importantly, one kitty happy and well cared for. Alister obviously had lots of love and attention showered on him and I feel quite confident that if anything had gone wrong he would have received any care he needed. He's actually showing me when in the day he got love and snuggles, when he had playtime, and he's trying to tell me he had treats any time he asked - but I don't believe that. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bevin as a pet sitter, and will hire her again.”
“We are so happy with the loving care ty got. We booked last minute and they were so accommodating and great with the cat and provided updates and photos to make us feel at ease”
About: Hi! I look forward to caring for you furry family! I grew up with pets and have dogs and cats for family and friends for years. But I also know each individual pet has its own personality and needs, so I tailor my care to your instructions. I currently have a dog of my own, Pepper. If you choose to board with us, I'd recommend a meet and greet beforehand. I have an apartment with a large enclosed courtyard that is pet friendly for them to safely play. I have a mostly remote job, so I can watch your pet full time. I also have a dog of my own that share with my partner. So I am accustomed to the schedule of dogs. Your pets safety is my number one priority. When we discuss the their care, I will ask about triggers, allergies, medications, and inquire if there is any other information I should know about.

“We love when Branden watches our dogs! He is so communicative, sends pictures to show that they’re happy pups, and always takes them on walks. He’s fantastic and our go-to dog sitter. He’s very dependable and that’s very important when choosing someone you trust to watch your pup.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vinland
Beth house sat, taking care of our dog and rabbit for a long weekend and we will for sure ask her to house sit again! She was great at communicating, sending updates and pictures throughout her stay and put us at ease ahead of time through the meet and greet that our pets would be in great hands. We came back to happy pets who had clearly been well cared for as well as having left our house clean & tidy and in the same state as when we left. Our dog especially clearly took a shine to her, camping out in the guest room the first day after she left! Thank you Beth!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 6,495 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
