“Shaelyn provided excellent care to my two dogs while we were gone for a week. Even though they take a long time to warm up to new people, she was patient and won their trust. Would def book again.”
“Kelly did great watching my boys for me! Very communicative, and sent me plenty of pictures while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies for you, and I will 100% be reaching out to her if I need help again in the future!”
“Mary house sat for us and took care of our two pitbulls while we were on vacation! The house was in great condition when we got home and she sent photos of the dogs while we were away. I would book with her again!”
“Erika and Cristopher were absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Kailo & Kiara. We received lots of pictures and thoughtful updates every day, which helped us feel completely at ease while traveling. When we came home, the house was immaculately clean and the dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well‑cared for. They went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave our pups. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and attentive sitters.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for and trained pets for as long as I can remember. I’m comfortable with different ages, personalities, energy levels, and routines, including puppies and basic training. I’ve volunteered with animal shelters and Walk for the Animals for multiple years, and I also have experience house and pet sitting for multi-pet households. One included caring for a dog, a bunny, three adult cats, and four kittens at the same time! I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. ❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I follow your care instructions closely and take time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own.
About: I have been pet sitting for a few years ever since I was in high school. I have taken care of many animals such as dogs, puppies, cats, guinea pigs, and chickens. I understand that every pet has their own individual personalities and take that into consideration. While I have fed according to their meal plans and dietary needs, walked, and given lots of love an attention to dogs and other animals I also take in their personality into consideration. It is important for your dog to feel comfortable and safe with the person taking care of them so that they won’t feel lonely or anxious while you’re away. I’m not currently working since I’m in Washington now after coming from school. So for now, my schedule is pretty open but I may get a part time job in the future if I can to help provide payment for my tuition. I walk the dogs at requested times or if the dog desires to do so, I always try my best to stay punctual on when they should be fed, taking them out on potty breaks, playing with them and giving them the care they need.
“Extremely appreciative and pleased with Ingrid's house sitting! She promptly responded to all messages, provided reassuring check-ins, and carefully looked after our neurotic (reactive) Mini Aussie.”
“Vicky was wonderful with our 2 dogs! She was professional, accomodating and asked great questions. Both dogs were comfortable with her right away and we felt very confident having her watch them while we were away.”
“Shelby was fantastic! We have booked with her before and will book with her again. She took great care of Minka (our old kitty) who has some health issues and needs medication. Minka usually gets stressed when we leave and Shelby was able to keep her happy, healthy, loved, and entertained. She sent us great pictures and kept our house clean and our garden watered. She was exactly what we needed, communicated well and understood all our instructions.”
“Abra did a wonderful job taking care of our pets. We have a large doodle, a cat and fish aquarium. Abra gave them all excellent care and provided frequent updates and adorable pictures. She was very attentive to all of the pets. She played with the cat, she walked the dog and played fetch with him. Our time away was more relaxing knowing that we had a dependable and caring person looking after our animals. We will be using Abra's help again next time that we travel.”
“We are grateful for Amy's stellar care of our big girl, in our home, while we were away. The active lifestyle Amy leads was just the spirit-lifter needed for our separation-anxiety ridden dog, Murphy Quinn. Amy was wonderful about sending texts & pictures of their activities or downtime. From those communications we were regularly updated & able to share in their enjoyment of: *morning & evening walks before Amy left & after returning from her other job, *cuddly sleep-ins on the weekend before leaving for her social activities & *exciting introduction to another new person (Amy's approved visitor/ fiancé) for cozy weekend dinners in. On top of all that, Amy spruced up our home before she left it & even left some extra sweet touches (flowers & card) for our return. We are elated that our overwhelming fur-baby was so well loved in our absence. Thank you Amy!!”
“Chardonay did a wonderful job caring for our anxious senior German shepherd. We were gone for 10 days, out of the country, and I felt so relieved having someone who clearly cares for dogs so deeply caring for our girl. She managed meds, special diet, and communicated with us the whole time. We will for sure using Chardonay again!”
“Maxwell did a great job taking care of my dog and cat while I was out of town. He checked in and asked great questions and left my place very clean when he left! I would absolutely have him pet sit again!”
“What A Star Dog Sitter! Attentive to Dogs needs, Communication was over the top. If you are looking for someone that understands and loves Dogs like Vanessa. She is your Person.”
“Shane was awesome. We felt very comfortable after meeting him that he would do a good job taking care of our dogs. He even took out our garbage and recycling cans for pickup and brought in the mail. Thanks Shane!!”
About: Hello! I have grown up with animals (dogs, cats, & more) and am currently a paw-rent to an Australian shepherd/cattle dog mix & an orange tabby cat. Our rescue pup came with some pretty severe reactivity issues that we continuously spend time working on and training. This challenge has made me learn and grow so much as a pet parent and in turn, a pet sitter! I am always the designated pet-sitter for friends and family, and I love it! Outside of my own, I have had experience with lazy and chill animals, as well as reactive and/or hyper. I myself love the outdoors and would be happy to bring your fur baby on walks or hikes, short or long. I am also available for long term care and/or home visits. I am comfortable with all sizes and personalities, and have experience with senior (cat) care, and administering oral medication (dog & cat). I am here for you and your pets needs, whatever they may be! I am currently available every day of the week, really any time! (In between full time jobs) So I’m flexible & would be happy to work out anything that would fit your schedule best. Your pets safety is my top priority! Whether I am sitting in your home or just out on a walk or hike, they will be protected.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 6. I grew up with a dog, people we knew had dogs, and we always had at least 1 cat in our care. Animals were what I knew. And still do. I’m intuitive when it comes to your furry child’s needs and currently look over the pets of my family and friend’s while they’re away. I can generally get somewhere after work at around 530pm. I love to walk and can provide daily walks for pets. On the weekends, I can make myself available for all day and care :) I’m in a small new studio so I’d prefer to watch pets at their homes. Many animals feel more at home in their familiar environment, removing the extra anxiety since they may already be stressed without their caregiver. I’m very attentive to your furry child’s needs, with water, food, walks, playtime, basic training etc. :)
About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire life there's always been a dog, cat, running around. I've learned how to handle all sorts of personalities and needs, whether it's a super energetic puppy or a chill old-timer who just needs some company and a good scratch. My family always trusted me with them so I've been the go to for feeding, walking, playing, and just generally making sure they're happy and safe. I’m currently working afternoons so I’d be able to have morning appointments and a couple days where I have the whole day available. I’ve taken care of animals my whole life so it’s pretty easy for me and following whatever instructions you have for your animals.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vista
Jacob was very friendly and easy to talk to upon meeting for the potential booking. He did a wonderful job house sitting for us while we were gone and watching our four cats. The cats always seemed happy and content with the updates he sent. He left our house in such clean condition. I would rebook Jacob again in the future for any out of town trip we take! Thank you so much Jacob!
Natania is super lovely! She was super responsive to my requests and kept me updated daily on my pups. She is exceptionally responsible, and great with my dogs from her first visit. They loved having her and warmed up to her quickly. She administered meds a few times a day for my ween that has seizures. I would highly recommend her and will be using her in the future. Thanks so much girl! Appreciate you!
This was our first time with Janeva and we couldn’t be any happier! She sent pics every day which made me feel like I was more “in touch”. We came home to happy dogs, a clean house and a sense of peace that all went well. We highly recommend Janeva for your home! We have an elderly dog who needed special attention to foods and a nervous one who seemed to settle in well. Thank you. Janeva!!
Kayley is amazing! She was very trustworthy with keeping our cat inside the house, safe, and happy. He's a high energy guy and he got the attention he needed to not feel lonely or stressed. She was reliable with being on time and following our instructions. We will use her again and I can happily recommend her to anyone else.
Mareka was a great sitter for our three dogs while we were gone for the week! She was great at providing updates with photos and giving the dogs lots of cuddles while we were away. She also went above and beyond with helping us take our trash out on garbage day, and left the house nice and clean to come back to. Definitely would recommend booking with Mareka, and will again if we ever need another dog sitter!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mount Vista is $45 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $92 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.

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 Vista 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 Vista 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 Vista 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.
