“This was the first time we had ever used a in-home sitter for our spoiled Miniature Schnauzer and we were somewhat apprehensive to use one, but Ruth changed our opinions about them. She treated our baby baby like he was her own. She provided daily pictures and we feel he was much happier staying in his own environment.”
“I have used Lana a couple of times now to take care of my pups, and she always does such a phenomenal job. I don’t have enough positive things to say about her and the care she has for my pup when I’m away from home. She sends lots of photos, and communicates thoroughly, never leaving you to wonder how your fur babies are doing while you’re away. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter, you’ve found one in her!”
“Michael took incredible care of our dogs while we were away on vacation. He made sure both pups were completely comfortable and gave our GSD plenty of exercise, taking him on multiple walks and even running with him since he’s so active. We could tell our dogs had an absolute blast with him. They were relaxed, happy, and calm when we got home. We’re so grateful for the care he gave them and would highly recommend him!”
“Awesome experience..Happy dog! Kyle stayed at our house for extended weekend with our Hazel and her disposition was so much better than when she is boarded while we are gone. Kyle went above and beyond on also taking care of the house and communicating with us! I definitely would use him again!”
“Leannn was amazing with my furbabies. She is very kind and genuine. She communicated daily with me with picture and videos. I felt at ease with having her in my home taking care of my precious puppers. She reallly went above and beyond. I highly recommend her!”
“Sarah was exceptional. I honestly couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided for our dogs. We have a Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and a Chihuahua mix, and she did an amazing job with both of them. She was incredibly thorough, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire stay. She sent some absolutely incredible pictures that gave us peace of mind and showed just how comfortable and happy our dogs were in her care. Unfortunately, our dogs decided to be a little naughty while we were away and made quite a mess. Sarah cleaned up everything without complaint and went above and beyond what I would ever expect from a dog sitter. That level of dedication and care says a lot about the kind of person she is. I can’t say enough good things about her. She treated our dogs like they were her own, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring to watch your pets, I highly recommend Sarah. We will absolutely be booking with her again”
“She was extremely incredible with our 3 weenies who are still working on potty training! Would 100% use her again. She is super accommodating and kept us updated throughout the week. Finally had a stress free vacation thanks to her!”
“When our scheduled Rover got sick & had to cancel last minute, Melanie swooped in and saved the day! She was fast to reply and seemed genuinely happy to be able to stay with our cat & keep an eye on our house while we were out of town. She sent great pics & we just knew instantly that our cat was getting plenty of love and attention ? She went above and beyond, and we can’t wait to have her watch our cat again - I recommend her highly to anyone looking for a sweet, professional and responsive Rover ?”
“We needed dogsitter who would be comfortable staying in our home with our pups. We got that and more with Lyn. She did an excellent job caring for our pups. They found a new snuggle companion. Which was quite amazing because our 10-month-old Staffordshire terrier mix doesn’t warm up to anyone quickly. Additionally she cared for our plants inside and out. She respected our home and took excellent care of it. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristie! She took absolutely incredible care of our three dogs and treated them like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely loved while we were away. Kristie also looked after our home with the same level of care and attention. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it when we returned. On top of that, she was unbelievably flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed at the last minute. She handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and zero stress. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pets and home, Kristie is the absolute best. We would recommend her without hesitation and can’t wait to book her again!”
“Over and Above! Mary took care of our Rolly while we went on a well needed vacation. Her great communication and attention given to our little guy was excellent. She went above and beyond leaving our house in great condition and we will be calling on her again soon!”
“Natalie did such an amazing job taking care of my furbabies! Seriously, I can't recommend Natalie enough when it comes to entrusting someone with your beloved animals. You won't regret it, trust me! Without a doubt, I'll be reaching out to Natalie again for any future pet-sitting needs.”
“Chris was awesome. She took wonderful care of our animals and home while we were out of town. She kept us posted with updates and pictures and our cat and dog had a great time with her. I would 100% recommend Chris for animal and house sitting needs.”
“Karina was great!!! She dog/house sat for 5 nights. I could tell she paid attention to all the notes I left her (which was a crazy amount lol) and kept the dogs in their normal routine. It’s been such a relief to find someone we trust to stay at our home with our doggies while we’re away. Highly recommend! 💕”
About: I am a very genuine and caring person . I love all type of animals and i am a mom to two fur babies myself. Your pet will be cared for in a safe environment. I currently work from home so your pet will be looked after full time. I am able to keep a close eye on them as well as taking them for walks every 2-4 hours providing them with proper nutrition, fresh water, regular exercise, a safe environment, necessary medications, hygiene practices, and mental stimulation, while also adhering to their specific needs and routine, including taking them to the bathroom as needed
“Amanda was amazing ! I was a little nervous first time using this site. The meet and greet went great put my mind at ease with this. Got multiple pics/videos throughout the day and feedback. She was awesome”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and the care I bring to every dog I meet. Growing up, I spent years volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I learned how to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. More recently, I cared for my own senior dog, Oatmeal, through his cancer journey, which taught me even more about patience, compassion, and the importance of making every dog feel safe and loved. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them that way. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive personalized attention and care while you're away. As mentioned above, I have personal experience with dogs with medical needs. This includes dogs with amputated limbs or dogs that have a strict schedule for medicine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I’m available to watch dogs for weekends or extended weekends! We have no pets in the home and are able to watch multiple dogs at a time. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for your dogs to run! With easy access to walking trails, I am happy to take your dogs for walks during the day to try to stick to their normal routine. I also have dog beds, toys, and food and water bowls available to use.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mobile City
First time hiring on Rover and my husband and I were a bit nervous. Kaylee is extremely easygoing and committed to making sure your pets are taken care of. She did so much more than what was asked of her and kept us updated along the way. I'll be sure to book with her again, my standards now might be too high for anyone else lol
I don't have enough words to express how great Carrice is!!! Carrice was seriously amazing with my boy Otis. He’s a recent rescue and still has some house training issues, so leaving him with someone new was EXTREMELY nerve wracking for me, especially because me and him are still getting to know each other too. She made me feel so much better the entire time by constantly keeping me updated, sending me pics + vids, and letting me know how he was doing. She was so patient and understanding with his accidents and just really kind to him in general. He got so much love and attention, and she even taught him how to sit!! She also kept my house super clean while I was gone, which I didn’t even ask her to do, and I appreciated that so much, especially because I wasn’t feeling well when I got back. She’s honestly just a really great person - very patient, thoughtful, understanding, and communicative. I could tell Otis was really cared for and that meant a lot to me. I’d absolutely trust her with him again and would recommend her to anyone!! (:
This was the first time we had ever used a in-home sitter for our spoiled Miniature Schnauzer and we were somewhat apprehensive to use one, but Ruth changed our opinions about them. She treated our baby baby like he was her own. She provided daily pictures and we feel he was much happier staying in his own environment.
Alexis took great care of our pets over the 4th of July weekend. We especially appreciated her willingness to help us on such a busy holiday. When we returned home, our pets appeared happy and well cared for. We were grateful to have someone we could count on while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mobile City is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $81 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Mobile City 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 Mobile City 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 Mobile City 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.
