“I was super happy with the care that Emidio provided for my little guy, the photo updates really helped eased any anxiety i had about being away from home. I highly recommend emidio!!”
“Sarah was excellent with our dog, Teddy. She was punctual, reliable, and maintained good communication with every visit. She was also super flexible with scheduling and was able to accommodate my last-minute request. Teddy seemed very pleased with her as well. I will definitely use sarah again and would recommend her to anyone who cares for their pets.”
“Wonderful job caring for Taz and Zoey! It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands while I was away. I especially loved receiving the pictures and updates—they made me smile and reassured me that my cats were happy and well cared for. Very reliable, attentive, and clearly treated Taz and Zoey like their own. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
About: I have owned and trained dogs of all ages. I currently have a 5 yr old purebred yellow lab who is a service dog. I have experience with behavior challenges and dogs with medical needs. I am dedicated and committed to caring for your pet as an extension of you. Our dog is with us almost 20+ hours a day so close to around the clock companionship and oversight will be provided. I have a fenced yard as well as a doggie door. Your fur baby will have everything he/she needs to be happy and loved. Consider it a doggy vacation resort.
“Samantha is everything we want in a dog sitter. She is kind, punctual, responsible, trustworthy, a good communicator and loves our little guy! We are so happy that we found her on Rover. She sends photos of Stanley and pays attention to his mood and habits. If there was a 10 star rating we would use that🐾😊”
“Very happy repeat customer! Cleo did a great job of updating us and sending pictures and videos while we were gone. Came home to find both of our boys very happy and well loved.”
“Megan was a pleasure to have taking care of our dogs and our house. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of and happy. She also exceeded our expectations by keeping the house clean and even cleaned things we did not expect her to! We would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking to have someone take care of their dogs/home.”
About: Hello! My name is Meaganne, I’m 25 years old and I have been housesitting on and off since I was 13. I grew up with animals, so they have always had a special place in my heart. I have experience with pretty much any pet imaginable: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, fish, reptiles, donkeys, you name it! I’m mature, professional, timely and clean. I am excited to have the opportunity to spend time with your beloved pet. I work from home Monday/Tuesday/Friday and in office Wed/Thurs, which makes my schedule ideal for long weekend needs for those needing more hangout time. I am not offering boarding at this time, but am happy to come to your home for overnight stays or just periodic check-ins throughout the day!
“Gissell was very loving and obviously quite experienced. She bonded with my dog instantly. During her stay she also took him out for nice hikes and meeting new doggie friends. She is good with communication and sent pictures and clips of their hikes and beach visits. My dog likes her so much that the night after our return, he even went to the guest bedroom to look for her.”
“Niles took excellent care of our pets while we were away and they were all comfortable with him. Very respectful, courteous and couldn’t ask for more from a pet sitter. Will definitely use again.”
“The sitter we normally get was booked so had to find a new sitter last minute. We found Whitney and are so happy we did! She did an amazing job with my dogs (one senior - with complicated sitting instructions) and 1 young energetic 2 year old pup. She kept our house incredibly clean and was a great communicator (pictures and updates everyday).”
About: I'm a certified fitness coach& energy healer who's been in love with animals for as long as I can remember — so combining the two just made sense. I'm out running, walking, and hiking almost every day anyway, and I love having a dog along for the ride as my companion. Whether your pup needs a high-energy run to burn off zoomies, a steady long walk, or a scenic hike, I'll match their pace and keep them safe, happy, and well-exercised the whole time. I treat every dog like my own — plenty of affection, patience, and attention to their individual personality and needs. Your dog won't just get a walk; they'll get a genuine companion who's excited to see them. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life rather than being a separate task I squeeze in. I teach fitness to private clients, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule to take pups outside for walks, runs, or hikes throughout the day — not just squeezed into a narrow time slot. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or a client's, my priority is keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. In a client's home, I stick closely to their normal schedule — feeding times, walk routines, medications if needed — and make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owner is away. As an active person who's out running, walking, or hiking daily, I love incorporating pets into that lifestyle, so they get real physical enrichment, not just a quick potty break. In my own home, pets are treated as part of the household — free to relax, cuddle, and settle in, with plenty of outdoor time and supervision. I'm attentive to each animal's individual personality and comfort level, and I always prioritize safety, whether that's pet-proofing a space, using secure leashes/harnesses, or simply reading their body language to know what they need.
“Awesome experience Michelle was right on time to meet our puppies always kept us posted with pictures during the day we will definitely have Michelle watch our puppies again!”
“Lauren was a terrific sitter for our old pup Dexter! We had Lauren house sit and watch Dex during our 5 night trip. Everything went great! She followed Dexter’s food and medication schedule perfectly, regular walks, sent updates, and was a wonderful house guest. We came back to an immaculate home and very happy pup. Will definitely work with Lauren again!”

About: I have been a child caregiver for seven years. I want to add furry friends to my life! I am a passionate and reliable person. I am a part time/seasonal beverage cart attendant at D'Andrea golf course in Sparks. I have a lot of free time to spend with your animals! Establish a routine! My primary goal is to ensure the well-being and comfort of the animals while maintaining the security and upkeep of the residence.
About: I was an intern at Fairgrounds Animal Hospital for two years, so I have plenty of knowledge beyond just being a sitter. I have cared for over 20+ dog breeds. Along with puppies. Not just dogs, but cats, reptiles, birds, and fish. I am a loyal sitter to 4 families, whose dogs I have cared for since they were puppies. I have sat for 3+ dogs at a time. I am great at ready animals social cues, energies and worries. Pet care fits great into my routine. I have been sitting for 8 years now. I always include extra time for dog care in my schedule. I do not have kids, so other than my career, I do not have major responsibilities. (Other than caring for your fur baby!) I am flexible and free! In terms of caring for pets in someone elses home, I am greatly experienced and trusted. The 4 families pets I care for, I sit at their house. I respect boundaries, and belongings. I am willing to build trust as well. For my own home, I have no pets and share my house with one roommate. My yard has grass and fenced in. Inside my home, there is a lot of space. My house is more minimalistic. I am open to the clients seeing my living space, prior to bringing their fur baby over.

The average cost of House Sitting in Mound House is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $60 per night.

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 Mound House 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 Mound House 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 Mound House 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.
