“Chelsea was an amazing pet sitter! She sent pics and updates multiple times a day and contacted me to clarify anything she was not 100% sure of. I really appreciate that effort, rather than assuming things that could lead to negative outcomes. She was very kind, and my pets were extremely comfortable with her, which my Kitty can be VERY picky, and my dog Mac is very anxious. 10/10!”
“Tammy was such a great help while we were on vacation. We got great photos and detailed messages about how they were doing. She has such a love for animals and I know they were so spoiled with affection while she was there. We even had a last minute emergency and she was happy to help us out with a last minute drop in visit and left the place cleaner than she found it! We will definitely be using Tammy anytime we are away!”
“Gracie was wonderful start to finish! I was pretty nervous about having someone other than family dog sit for us, but I knew it would be much before for our pup to be at home rather than in boarding. Gracie was happy to meet Zoey ahead of time as well as again a couple days before our trip to go over our leave behind instructions and get any last-minute questions answered. Gracie stayed overnight (house sat) in our home with Zoey for the full two weeks and was very courteous of all spaces. She was responsive and sent plenty of updates too! Zoey was very happy and full of energy when we returned home after two weeks away, which tells me she was well-cared for and comfortable with Gracie. So happy to have found Gracie and for the wonderful companionship she provided to Zoey while also keeping a watchful eye on our home. We will most definitely be booking with Gracie again in the future!”
“Thanks for your exceptional care of our animals while we’re gone on long trip. Jackie did a great job while we were away even helped with our teenager, getting her to orientation at school before we were able to get back. The Dogs said that Jackie was fun to play with and hang out with while watching TV.”
“Maggie did a great job house sitting our 2 Frenchies and Maltese while we were out of town for a few days. She communicated well, sent us updates and pics daily, and made sure that normal routines for our pups were maintained. We will definitely have Maggie pet sit again in the future. Highly recommended her!”
About: I have owned pets my whole life, including domestic and wild pets. Dogs, cats, squirrels, coons and possums if they need me I take them in and give them what they need! Because I am single, semi retired and self-employed I am able to make my own schedule. I can be available seven days a week, 365 days a year! I have a 3 year-old blue heeler rescue male pup and 3 year old male rescue cat and they love each other. As of June 2026 I am under contract to sell my 10 acre glampground and have moved down the road to Jane, MO! BIggie is the glampground pup and interacts with all of the Airbnb guest pets with no problems whatsoever and they typically fall in love with him and bring him inside at night, although he prefers to have the run of the place outside all day and he won’t come in until he’s ready!!!
About: Hey there! My name is Sam and I just moved to Arkansas from Texas! A little about me, I am a mental health therapist and primarily see clients online at this point in my career! I have been an animal lover my entire life. There hasn't been a time in my life where I haven't had an animal living with me (except my freshman year in college, but it was probably better that way!) I started by dog/cat sitting for family and friends back in Texas and that has grown into a side business that I want to bring to Arkansas. I’ve watched all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragon, ferrets, bunnies, horses, donkeys, goats, and more! I now only have one cat, Millie, who loves me and pretty much no one else. I miss having pups in my life and don't know a whole lot of people in Arkansas yet so I figured this would be a great way to connect and love on some animals! I hope to hear from you soon! My schedule is mostly consistent from week to week but I work odd hours and times. I work from home so I would be available all day! If I’m watching your pup at my home, I have an entirely enclosed fence so they would get plenty of outdoor/run time. Your pup would have to get along with cats, however mine will typically stay away if she knows someone or something else is in the house!
About: I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life, and I’m definitely the person who will ignore the humans in the room and go straight for the dog. I’m responsible, attentive and very comfortable stepping into a pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, medications, sticking to their feeding schedule or just providing some excellent couch companionship. Every pet has their own personality, quirks and very specific opinions about how things should be done, and I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m especially good with dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance when their people are away. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated so you know everything is going well and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention while you’re gone. Fair warning: I’ll probably give them a ridiculous nickname by day two. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can work around your pet’s routine instead of expecting them to work around mine. Walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime and bedtime can all stay as close to normal as possible. I’m also happy to spend plenty of time at the house, so your pet won’t just get a quick hello, a bowl of food and a disappearing act. If they’re used to having someone around, they’ll have me around. When I’m staying in your home, my goal is pretty simple: keep your pet happy, safe and comfortable while you’re gone. I’ll follow your instructions, pay attention to the little things and treat your home the way I’d want someone to treat mine. And you won’t have to wonder what’s going on. I’m happy to send pictures and updates along the way. I know you’re trusting me with your pet and your home, and I take both seriously. Even if your dog and I are having very unserious conversations while you’re gone.
About: Hello! My name is Em! I’m a 21 year old experienced pet caretaker! I have experienced in many different species and can accommodate to your pets’ special needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and much more! Can’t wait to assist you and have the pleasure of caring for your beloved pets! I am currently employed with Rover full time. So I will be more than available to care for your pets 24/7! I do go to church on Sunday mornings, but will be back after! I currently own 1 furbaby who loves the company of other pets, but he’s also crate trained so if they need their own space, he can be perfectly secured. There are many parks and dog parks near my home so if you’re pet requires walking, I am more than happy to take them for a little trip!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Mount Shira is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Shira
My experience with Sarah was excellent from start to finish. She was willing to come meet our dog for a short visit prior. Her communication throughout the process was amazing. I felt 100% comfortable leaving our pet in her hands overnight in our . I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10 stars!!! We will definitely be using her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Shira
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 303 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Shira. 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 Mount Shira 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 Mount Shira 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 Mount Shira 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.
