About: My experience mainly comes from caring for my own pets and family pets, including providing aftercare for injured pets by giving medications and following their recovery routines. I’m also often the person who can’t resist taking in a stray or two! I genuinely love animals and take their comfort and happiness seriously. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet with someone, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the week. I’m available for daytime, evening, overnight, and weekend bookings, and I can accommodate last-minute requests. This flexibility allows me to give each pet the time, patience, and individualized attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own. I can provide supervised outdoor time, and I’m able to keep pets separated from my dogs if they prefer their own space or need extra comfort. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any safety instructions you provide, and I’ll always prioritize their comfort and wellbeing while they’re in my care. At your home or mine.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to calm seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and flexible to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with administering medications, training basic commands, and handling special diets. My passion is making every pet feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I dedicate specific times each day for walks, play, and feeding to ensure pets get the attention they deserve. I’m flexible with scheduling and can adjust to early mornings, evenings, or weekends to fit your needs. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer stay, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I ensure pets have a clean, secure environment where they can relax and play freely. I keep hazardous items out of reach and closely monitor their behavior to prevent any risks. I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and build trust, so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands
About: There was never a time in my life where I didn’t have a multitude of pets. I grew up with a family that loves the outdoors and everything in it. Something special about my care is that I’ve had years of experience in rehabbing injured animals. Because of this I’ve learned that patience and attentiveness are so important to a happy healthy pet. I’m devoted to meeting your pet halfway- or wherever I’m needed- in order to help you in any way I can! I work part time Monday-Friday and by 9AM I have the rest of the day to myself! My schedule would be most ideal for a family who needs help during the day or any time from 9:30AM-7PM. I look forward to working something out with you. I appreciate thorough instruction to insure that I am handling things exactly the way you imagine and prefer. Aside from caring for your pet I also like to lightly clean if needed/wanted to give you a little less to deal with.
About: I grew up with a chihuahua from my childhood to my adulthood, so dogs have always been part of my everyday life. I also rescued my own dog 5 years ago and he gets the full VIP treatment like his morning walks, night walks, plenty of potty breaks, well timed meals, and lots of playtime and attention throughout the day. I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs, keeping them active, happy, and feeling loved. I’ve also helped care for my sister’s pets, including her dogs and two cats, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and cared for while she’s away. Dogs are honestly my happy place and my daily serotonin, they’re family to me. I treat every pet like my own, and my goal is to make sure both pets and their humans feel happy, relaxed, and confident while they’re in my care. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. Since I’m home most of the time, I can easily accommodate different routines and time needs, including last minute requests when possible. I’m always happy to work around your dog’s schedule and will do my best to be as reliable and accommodating as possible. I take great pride in caring for my own dog and making sure he’s always clean, comfortable, and well looked after. I keep a clean, cozy home, make sure potty breaks are consistent, and ensure my dog is always warm, safe, and happy indoors. If I ever care for a dog in my home, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and right at home. I truly care for dogs as if they were my family.
About: Pet lover! I have always had a pet in my life and have over 12 years of experience with them. I have open availability on weekends and can make time during the week with notice! I will always show them affection and care to their needs. I’ll treat them like my own! I will bring them treats and toys. We will take many bathroom breaks and make sure they are comfortable while their best friend is away. My time spent with your pet will be one hundred percent revolved around them and I will always strive to keep them safe and happy. You will be at peace while you are away from your fur friend! Open to any requests you have. I currently work at a hospital during the week, but with notice my schedule can be flexible and I can fit certain services in. Please do not hesitate to reach out! I like to meet your fur babies prior to our time together and make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll go over what your pet enjoys and expects on a daily basis so that I can make sure they are as happy as can be while you’re away.
“I enjoyed having Callie watch my fur kids SO MUCH! She was professional & caring❤️ also maintained my home & when I arrived home it was clean! She made sure to give me daily updates and pictures on my long time away which was so nice. I will be booking her again for future trips I have to take out of town!! 10/10 Love her!!”
About: My calendar has opened back up for the holidays now that summer travel and visitors are winding down. Spending time with your animals is a joy for me, I take pride in working to establish a trusting relationship with them. Our property is fully fenced with squirrels and birds to chase, galore! I work from home so the animals get plenty of attention and outside breaks throughout the day. Over the last 35 years I've owned all kinds of animals and dog breeds of all ages and sizes; anxious rescue dogs, puppies, senior dogs, epileptic, diabetic dogs, & i've even gained experience walking dogs at shelters. I've always loved to include my dogs hiking, camping and to the beach. We've bred and birthed 2 litters of the worlds cutest dachshunds! Please for the safety & comfort of ALL animals we require that dogs being boarded are up to date on rabies and vaccinations including flea. **dog walking services will be available weather permitting, over 90 or a down pour we will need to reschedule. If you have a dog over 40lb I may be able, dog dependent, just message me! I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, responsive and respectful.. that's me! I start each day tending to the animals about 7am; waters refilled, potty breaks etc.. I make sure we spend time playing outside several times throughout the day. I work from home so they get plenty of attention. Usually I work in a long indoor nap in the height of the days heat. Rover dogs always have their own room (or guest house if you prefer/require) to sleep in at our house, we won't crate them unless they aren't able to roam-free safely, or if you request it. I do not allow rover dogs upstairs, or in our bedroom at night. Safety & the well being of the animals is always the most important! Introductions to my dogs will be made at the owners request, & animals comfort level. We have a fully fenced yard with a minimum of 4ft high chain link. There is also a fully fenced 10x10x6' kennel if you have a dog that can REALLY jump, they would still be able to spend time in the yard off-leash. There are separately fence portions of my yard if you prefer your animal be kept separate for any reason. If you need help with pick up, drop off, or bathing just say so! If you wonder about leaving your dog here just message me with any questions or come see the space. I know the anxiety of trusting someone with your best bud and I aim to help relieve that. Please for the safety & comfort of ALL animals we require that dogs being boarded are up to date on rabies and vaccinations including flea. Please let me know if your dog requires medication, special attention, is scared of storms.. etc. Please let me know if you DO NOT want your dogs to play with ours for whatever reason it will not hurt my feelings. We have some chickens (in a run), and there are horses on the property next to ours FYI, they are very used to dogs. We are on a dead end so there is little traffic and no kids living here. If you prefer I can even accommodate housing your animal completely separately, in our very peaceful guest apartment, that has worked well for some special need babies.
“I couldn't of been more grateful to find Chelsea to take care of Butter and Waffles like they were her own! She made sure to give consistent updates and follow their quirky needs/schedule that put my mind to ease. I could tell my kitties were really happy with her care! ☺️ She has such a genuine heart and made sure to leave my home better than when we left which was also SO nice to come back to after a long international flight. She really went above and beyond, I would definitely book with her again! ?”

She knows when to go outside to use the restroom, as well as some tricks I taught her, she also loves when I pet her…sometimes when she wants me too lol, still love her.
About: I build relationships with the pets and owners. I pay attention to the small details, like routines, quirks, treat time, and belly rubs. I try my best to make all pets feel special and comfortable while their owners are away My schedule can vary week to week since my work isn’t always consistent, but I’d be happy to check in with you about your dates and see if it’s something I can commit to Since I have two dogs of my own, I usually offer pet care at the owner’s home. It tends to be less stressful for your pet and keeps things simpler on my end too

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 96 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vinton. 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 Vinton 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 Vinton 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 Vinton 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vinton. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
