About: Hello, fellow pet lovers , nervous leaving your pet? Don't fret! My name is Melissa, I have well over a decade of pet care experience including prior employment offering pet services In Florida ! I'm home all day/night! I have been an animal lover all my life. I have had many years of experience caring for all types of dogs and also being a foster home for dogs in the past. When I have your pups in my care, I strive to spend one on one time with each of our furry guests ! Your pet will have my undivided attention. Everyday, rain or shine, They are spoiled, loved & nurtured. You can go on vacation & enjoy peace of mind knowing that your precious fur-baby is safe and happy! I know all too well how difficult it is to part with your pup when out of town. My goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, secure and relaxed until they're reunited with you! You can be sure that your four-legged family members will feel like they're at home while staying with my family and I. My husband and children are very involved with each and every dog that walks into our home :) We love ALL breeds and have no issue with any of them! We usually limit ourselves to 3 or occasionally 4 guest dogs at a time, so the environment is calm, and our guest pups enjoy the freedom of the house, becoming part of our family during their stay.

All I can say is Gad is awesome.we just completed a two week trip and Gad took care of our fur babies while we were gone . Our dogs loved him and he spent a lot of time with them. They are both senior dogs and need a lot of care . Pills twice a day etc… and Gad went over and beyond expectations. One of my dogs wasn’t eating for a couple of days and Gad even bought him chicken and grilled it on the grill for him . Well needless to say my dog ate . Gad is very respectful and very responsible. I would highly recommended Gad .

Cara was amazing with my 11 month old golden puppy. She followed all the instructions and used to send pupdates everyday. Also while leaving on the last night she made sure the place is clean and things are in place. She stayed with him for about 20 days and was the reason we were able to enjoy our holiday. She’s a perfect choice as she treats every pet as her own

Katy was an AMAZING dog sitter! Our pup is a little anxious and she was so sweet making sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent us updates and pictures and was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. She stayed at our place and was a wonderful guest. We came home to a super clean house and everything exactly as we left it. Wally was definitely super happy when he was with her and I would 1000% use Katy again to dog/house sit!

Maranda house sat for me, caring for my two cats, while I was out of town for a few days. My girls warmed right up to Maranda, even my young cat who has been known to hide from sitters for a long time. Maranda even sent me videos of my young cat being silly and demanding pets. My home appears well cared for and I returned to happy, healthy cats!

About: Hi! I’m Ashlee, a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand that pets are family. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, overnight care, drop-in visits, medication administration, or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, I provide dependable and compassionate care tailored to their unique needs. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, shy cats, multi-pet households, and pets with special routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they are in caring and capable hands. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can stay connected with your furry family members while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and treating them like one of my own! Stay at home Mom with brownish kids that care for themselves 😂 we have a pretty regular schedule Monday through Friday and do sporting events on weekends. We are usually home otherwise. When you leave your pet in my care, you’re not just hiring a pet sitter—you’re choosing someone who genuinely understands the trust you’re placing in them. With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply maintaining their regular routine, I provide attentive, personalized care that helps reduce stress while you’re away. I am dependable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, administering medications when needed, and recognizing changes in behavior that may require attention. Communication is also a top priority for me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages, giving you peace of mind that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet feels secure and you feel confident knowing they’re in capable hands.

Our dog felt safe and loved thanks to Jeanie's patience and care, making a stressful few days completely worry-free. We have a very nervous, "delicate" little dog, and we were worried how she would do with a sitter she didnt really know, but Jeanie did a really great job! She was incredibly attentive to Lucy's needs, taking the time to understand her anxieties. Her communication was excellent, she sent regular updates and photos that was reassuring every step of the way. It was clear that she has a genuine love and understanding for animals, and she went above and beyond to make sure lucy was happy and secure. We cannot recommend Jeanie more highly, she is professional, kind and dedicated. If you're looking for someone to treat your pet like family, Jeanie is the perfect choice!

We are so happy to have found Sydney. She was able to accommodate a late notice request and was the perfect choice for our fur kids. One of them is a recently adopted rescue, and he is still a challenge on several fronts. She is patient and loving and confident in her interactions with him. It is so nice to have the boys comfortable in their own home while knowing someone is looking after them who cares as much as we do. We will absolutely work with her again.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8. I absolutely love spending time outdoors and visiting the dog park. I have always enjoyed spending time with animals, and have watched several pets besides my own. I currently attend App State as an IO Psychology Graduate Student, so I have a very flexible schedule. I frequently go for runs at local parks after work, and would love to bring your dog with! I have a backyard, but it is unfenced. However I am willing to take pets to any other locations, such as hiking trails or dog parks. I am able to spend time with pets because all of my free time is spent outdoors! Whether it's taking a walk around the neighborhood, running around a state park, or hanging out in the backyard, I enjoy being outdoors regardless of the weather. I am not able to take dogs into my apartment, however I have a car for easy transportation to nearby outdoor areas. There are so many great options in Boone, I will definitely find a great place to take your dog!

About: I've taken care of animals since as long as I can remember! In total I have had 1 Beagle, 2 Golden Retrievers and 3 Cats to my name. I have fostered a total of 6 rabbits, 12 Cats, and 1 mouse that was pregnant and turned into 10 mice. As a former elementary school teacher and now a preacher, I’m used to being responsible, attentive, patient, and dependable. I also help my boss run a local business, which gives me a flexible schedule rather than a traditional 9–5 workday. This allows me to have plenty of flexibility and availability to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m organized and comfortable managing schedules, routines, and responsibilities. Whether your pet needs regular walks, playtime, meals, medication, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they need. My experience as a teacher has taught me patience, kindness, and the importance of being attentive to individual needs. You can trust that your pet will be treated with love, safety, and care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I live on a good amount of land with plenty of space to provide your pet with a safe, active, and stimulating environment. I’ve grown up with dogs and have a strong understanding of their needs, from regular exercise and playtime to companionship and individual care. I also drive a minivan, which gives me the ability to safely transport pets when needed and provide opportunities for outdoor time and adventures. Whether it’s taking them for a walk, playing outside, going for a ride, or simply relaxing and keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get a good balance of exercise, attention, and love. I can also help look after your home while you’re away by watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, taking out the trash, and making sure everything is secure. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for—and for you to have peace of mind knowing both your pet and your home are in good hands!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mountain City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Mountain City on Rover is $44.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 206 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mountain City. 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 Mountain 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 Mountain 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 Mountain 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mountain City. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
