About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and have taken every opportunity to care for and support them. Over the years, I have provided reliable dog and cat sitting services, working with a variety of breeds and sizes. Growing up in a home that always included pets has given me a deep appreciation for animals and a natural ability to care for them with patience, attention, and love. I would love the opportunity to provide your furry companion with the love, care, and happiness they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule and am currently available at a variety of times. With clear communication regarding dates and times needed, I will be able to promptly confirm my availability and ensure I can meet your scheduling needs. Every animal is unique, and I tailor care routines to best fit each pet’s individual needs and schedule. I believe clear communication is key to creating the perfect care plan for your furry companion. I always prioritize dedicated playtime and, depending on the pet, provide walks and outdoor time to keep them happy and active. I am highly flexible and committed to meeting the specific needs of every animal in my care.

“Emily was so sweet to our dog, Odin! In the pictures she sent, he looked so relaxed and happy, which just warms my heart and makes me feel better about leaving him with a Rover sitter. Emily was communicative and left our house in great condition. We look forward to having her sit again soon!”

“I highly recommend Gucci’s daycare sitter to anyone looking for dependable, professional, and loving pet care. As someone with a very busy schedule balancing work and school, having a sitter I can trust gives me tremendous peace of mind. Her communication is excellent—she keeps me updated consistently and sends pictures of Gucci throughout the day, which reassures me that he is safe, happy, and well cared for. It is very clear that Gucci is comfortable in her care because he never shows signs of anxiety when he returns home. In fact, he comes home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired from having such an active and enjoyable day. She is professional, attentive, trustworthy, and provides exceptional care at a very affordable rate. I truly feel that Gucci is in great hands whenever he is with her. I am beyond grateful to have found someone who treats my dog with such care and attention. Highly recommended!”

“What a godsend! We were hesitant to take a trip as our Benji has high anxiety but Meghann was an absolute gift! She took such great care of our pup and our home. She provided outstanding communication with updates and pictures that made our time away so much more relaxing. We couldn’t believe how Benji warmed up to her. She’s a whisperer! Our home was tidy and clean and she even came back and stayed with our Boy since our return was delayed. Five stars are not enough…. We will definitely book her again and again.”

“We hired Lizzy to house sit for Cola last minute and we couldn’t be happier with her service. She responded very quickly and made us feel confident in leaving our home and pup in her care. Lizzy sent us frequent updates and left our home in better shape than when we left! Cola loved her, too. We will be hiring whenever possible in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in middle school. For four years, I assisted in end-of-life care for a senior dog along with being a farmhand for two horses. My previous job in Florida was at an animal shelter, and consisted of feeding, cleaning, and medicating up to 40 kittens/cats/dogs a day. I am available any time, any day of the week. I’m currently job searching for a position at a shelter, so in the meantime I would love to meet your animals and make friends! I live in an apartment with my partner and two kittens. I feed them twice a day, with a capsule of Proviable split between them. They are strictly indoor kitties, and I have given them both a flea bath.

“Jen was awesome!! She house sat for 5 days and followed the schedule I left for my two fur babies. Both dogs are large dogs and she walked them every day without hesitation! They were happy and very well taken care of. I was able to relax and not worry because Jen would send text and pictures daily letting me know what was going on. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Jen!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember because I love it! I’ve grown up around animals and know how important they are to people. I look at my pets as family, and love them deeply. I own one dog and fight the urge to get more everyday!! I love excersive and since my dog, Oaklee, is a bird dog and a brittany, he needs a lot of it. With my personal experience I can handle the laziest kitty cat to the craziest, most high energy, dog.

FAQs for House Sitting - Little Mountain

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 580 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Little Mountain. 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 Little Mountain 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 Little Mountain 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 Little Mountain 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 Little Mountain. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
