“Stacy was phenomenal! She was prompt, did services exactly as requested, and took great care of our dog Oso and fish Oscar while staying at our house for over a week. She was also an excellent houseguest and left the house in perfect condition. We will 100% be using her again. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have been an animal lover for life and a dog owner for two years. Before that I have been a dog sitter several times in the UK, where I am from. I have regularly cat-sit for a family, which included taking the little feline out on walks in her harness! I love doing training with my own dog, (who is steadily becoming more well behaved!) and would be happy to incorporate training into my visits with yours. I am a very active person and can play ball, run, and walk with dogs. I know the importance of mental stimulation. I am currently available most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. I am an artist and market vendor, and I am able to adjust my schedule much of the time to fit in with your needs. I am happy to walk dogs and do check-ins at your home. I am a careful and cautious person and will follow instructions given as closely as I can.

“Catalina was wonderful with Luna and Gordie. She communicated really well and sent updates twice a day, along with so many great photos of the dogs having fun and running around the garden. It was such a nice feeling to see how comfortable and happy they were with her. She was especially thoughtful with Luna and handled her age and mobility needs really well. She listened carefully to all of my instructions and clearly paid attention to the little things that mattered. Catalina stayed at the house while I was away, and everything looked great when I got home. Most importantly, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable. I would absolutely trust Catalina with them again.”

About: i see you find yourself in a pickle. late night, searching for last minute pet care, waiting for a miracle. well not to fear, pickle spear, you found your man. & i feel your pain. we’re all in this pickle jar together. it’s salty in here you got problems? i got patience n grace you got pets in need of love & care for a while? i got an open schedule and a big ol’ smile i’ll take ‘em for walks and talk to ‘em lots snaggletoothed, speckled, or freckled with spots catch us runnin’, leapin’ thru trees in the parks in sunbeams sleepin’ or yowlin’ at stars one thing true, wherever we be in all that we do, we stay wild & free you knew it was me, friend! you knew from the jump so message me soonly before i’m booked up :) i guess you could say i’m a professional. this is all i do! besides playin’ a bit of music. a healthy bit of gardening/farming too if it’s in season. they’re making me write a few more words, so this should do the trick. i would love to board pets but my home is only 120sq feet. i maybe would if they’re little guys and not too stinky. i actually live on a pretty spacious horse farm with walking trails. but there’s lots of other animals. so right now the sweet spot for me is walks, drop-ins, and the occasional stay-over. i like to keep spaces clean when i’m at home and very much intend to do the same when sharing yours. and i may even leave a nice note or a flower or somethin

About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I’m the kind of person who notices when a pet wants comfort, quiet, playtime, or just someone calm to sit with them. I especially love creating a peaceful, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes, clean, dependable, and communicative. I know how vulnerable it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so I treat every animal with real patience, affection, and attention — not just as a job, but because I truly love being around them. I’m also available for overnight stays, house sitting, feeding, walks, companionship, bringing in mail, watering plants, and helping keep things running smoothly while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship throughout the day. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for house sitting, drop-ins, walks, and overnight care most weekdays and weekends. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and being in your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and the little things that help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.

About: Hi, My name is Christie. I have been an avid animal lover ever since I was a toddler. My family had our share of pets from dogs, cats, parakeets, hamsters, doves, and even a snake (although I will admit I that he was my brother's and I respectfully chose not to interact with him like I did all the others). On top of that, my grandparents were farmers with chickens, pigs, cats and dogs and I loved being with them all. Animals bring so much joy into our lives and I honestly think they have much to teach us. As an adult, I have loved my own and she was the love of my life. I have been pet/house sitting for 25+ years. I first started caring for friends pets, but at a certain point, the word got out and I was being referred to other pet sitting gigs. Many of those lead to new friendships of which I’m very grateful. I have loved each and every experience. My love of animals is one that dogs can usually sense right away and I'm proud to be an auntie of many wonderful pets. I enjoy taking dogs for walks in the woods or to the park to play fetch (or even soccer… That was my girl's favorite!) While staying at your home, I make sure they are fed and well cared for, with plenty of belly rubs and snuggles on the couch (if they are allowed). I have pet sit for cats, fish, and dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've stayed at peoples homes for as little as 2 nights and up to 6 weeks. And, at times, I've welcomed some into my home. I’ve watched up to 4 dogs at a time (ranging from puppy to senior) and two cats. Those circumstances usually call for specific needs of which was different for each, but no matter the different food and meds and potty break reqs, being in there own home was no different than normal and all worked out smoothly. I have walked siblings separately and together, some on lead and some not... whatever the pup is used to and the owner specifies has always worked! ;) All of our outings are fun whether we go out to play catch, splash in the rivers, hike on the trails or simply take in all the smells and sights throughout the neighborhood and local parks. I'm currently taking time off of work to work on some personal projects so my availability is somewhat flexible. I will traveling throughout the NW, SE while also spending time here in Boise. Im open to sits locally, as well as around the nation. As an avid animal lover, it is a complete joy to love on your “love bugs" and simply BE with them in the comfort of their own home. I also welcome certain size/breeds into my own home for shorter stays. When I pet sit, I send photos of your pet’s smile and or activities that we share. And, I'm happy to look after and water any plants or garden areas. Otherwise, I am a responsible 56 year old woman who appreciates clean spaces. You can rest assured that I’d care for your pets and your home like my own.

About: Have always had lots of animals growing up and as an adult. Animals seem to feel comfortable around me. I enjoy their presence and will give them lots of love. I have a fairly open schedule. I work part time as a CNA. Live in a rural area but can travel to surrounding cities if needed. We have hosted dogs in our home, outside in our yard or have gone to their home. Available for walks. Also have an outdoor kennel if your dog is not friendly.

They went above and beyond to take Blue on adventures, give her love and attention, and were very gracious about her quirks too! Very grateful and would recommend 100%!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom always had at least three dogs in the house along with a few cats, and I would regularly take care of them whenever she was away. Currently, she has four dogs, a miniature horse, and chickens, so I’m very familiar with a wide range of animals and their needs. I’ve also taken in pets from family members who were unable to care for them due to moves or life changes, which has given me even more hands on experience. I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m open to looking after other kinds of animals as well. I truly love animals and treat them with a lot of care and respect…I won’t even kill a spider, if that gives you a sense of how I am with them. I work mostly remote and do some overnight caregiving on the side. I will have a lot of time between October and mid April as I will not be caregiving in those months! I wish to care for animals at my clients home. So whatever they instruct me to do! I love hiking so I would love to take your dogs on adventures if it is allowed!

Our girls were treated like royalty. We received many photographs throughout out vacation that showed us our girls were very comfortable with Heather B. We will definitely ask for Heather B again & we sincerely suggest if you need a caring pet sitter, Heather B is the one to recommend! Warm Regards & with much gratitude, Andy & Pia”

Becca is absolutely amazing! Not only did my pups, including my especially shy girl love her, I can say she is very respectful of your home if she stays there. She took the dogs out for a coffee, and I actually got compliments about her the next day from the workers at the café and a few random town folks who were wondering who my dogs were with. In some ways that speaks to Becca even more than what I think. I wholeheartedly recommend her, but also wish I could keep her as a secret gem for my doggies

FAQs for House Sitting - Mars Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Mars Hill is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $111 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.

As of November 2026, there are 626 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mars Hill. 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 Mars Hill 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 Mars Hill 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 Mars Hill 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 Mars Hill. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
