“There are not enough good things to say about our experience with Alex. I am normally a basket case with just leaving LeeLoo but now we have our 3 month old, Zeppelin, whom we cannot board. Alex was beyond attentive to their needs, schedules, and our instructions. He is very respectful and knows animal behavior. Our home was left in the same (actually better) condition than when we left. He provided updates frequently. But most of all, when we got home… the dogs weren’t even that excited to see us 😂😂😂😂. They were comfortable and cared for extremely well. Will be booking Alex again for sure.”
“Denise has helped with Winnie before and has always done incredible work with her. This time was no exception - Winnie was taken care of very well and was extremely happy throughout the day, even when I got home later. Denise took photos of her visit with Winnie throughout the day, walked and played with her, and kept me updated on all of the happenings in my absence. If you haven’t booked Denise yet, I strongly recommend her for your needs!”
“Michelle was a fantastic sitter for us, she was able to accommodate us on short notice and work with our schedule for the day to ensure that our boy had someone to keep him company while we were gone :). We got updates, pictures, and she took him on two walks that day to make sure he had an outlet for all his energy. After our experience with Michelle, we'll definitely be using her again!”
“Kalena was an amazing sitter for our pup! He is very high maintenance and requires a lot of attention. She took great care of him and he was in excellent shape when we returned home. Kalena sent several updates each day with pictures and videos. We would recommend Kalena every time!”
“Llanie was great with our dogs Boli and Oggy. She was on time, communicative, and thoughtful. Our dogs immediately loved her! The dogs really loved her from the photos and videos she sent over! We will definitely use her again!”
“Michael took such great care of our 2 pups despite getting rain each day. One dog is accident prone when it's raining outside and the other needs meds 3x per day and they were happy and healthy when we got home. I definitely will book with Michael again.”
“Ellie is definitely a cat whisperer! She easily made friends with my nervous kitty. Her communication was great and my home was perfect when I returned. Would certainly use her again in the future!”
“Kristle was perfectly on time with great communication prior to and during our booking! She was kind, patient and flexible. I’ll be booking with her again in the future. I rarely trust anyone with my pup, but she did amazing for me last minute!”
“Katie was truly amazing, my dogs are so happy and well loved. She sent me videos, took care of my senior lady, and took time with my over exuberant 9 month old mini poodle puppy. Kept me updated every day and made me feel safe that my dogs were in great hands. Thank you so much Katie”
“#1, Megan is a caring individual, weather concerning my Sadie or myself. She showed genuine interest from our first meeting. Sadie, on our return was content and calm, the house was spotless and all in order. We will defiantly use Megan again and again!”
“Willow is so sweet and loving to my baby Afi! She loves animals so much. Super easy to work with & communicative. I give her a shared note on my phone with directions and she follows them thoroughly. I’ll be booking Willow again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Avery took great care of our two dogs, Bosa and Murphy, while we were away. He was very reliable and communicative, and we really appreciated the updates and photos he sent during our trip. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. We came home to two happy pups, a clean house and everything was great shape. We would definitely book Avery again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter! Thx Avery!”
“Absolutely amazing! Was so kind sweet loving with my dog and respectful of my place. Needed a sitter last minute and she jumped at it and truly saved me. Will be using all the time! And highly recommend!!”
“Joely was so amazing with our pets! Super communicative and sent a lot of photos and updates! I felt 100% comfortable with her watching them. I will definitely have her watch them next time we need a sitter.”
“She was amazing with my puppy! Super attentive, very active with him, and always kept me updated with messages and photos. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone with a pup—especially a high-energy one!”
“Olivia is an incredible pet care taker! She is very communicative, sends updates and pictures, takes amazing care of our pets and our home! We feel so lucky to have found her!”

Maddie saved our 6-day trip by stepping up at the last minute when the sitter we had booked for RyeLee wrecked his car. Maddie works during the day so we hired someone for a visit during the day. She came straight to our house after work and stayed until she left for work so RyeLee got his two meals Our house was left in great shape. Maddie did a fantastic job.
If Dani can take care of our dog, she can take care of absolutely any dog. We trusted Dani with our senior pup who is also sick, and she made sure he was happy throughout the entire weeklong stay. She happily hosted him at her house where she gave him daily walks, outings, and his daily special diet and needed supplements and medications (there was a lot!!). She also sent us tons of updates and photos to give us some peace of mind while we were out. And let me tell you, he looked as happy as a clam. You can also immediately tell that Dani and her family have a big heart and love dogs. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future if need be and recommend her to anyone who is looking to find a sitter who is local, loving and trustworthy. Thank you Dani!!
Aaliyah is absolutely wonderful. Bonnie and I could not speak more highly of her! I am an anxious owner, with an anxious dog. Bonnie is very sensitive, and cannot handle traditional boarding, so leaving her when I travel has been stressful in the past. Aaliyah went above and beyond to make sure that Bonnie and I were both comfortable during the whole process! She is such a professional, and her experience in pet care really shows. She came over before the stay to make sure she was a good fit, and Bonnie almost immediately cuddled up to her on the couch! I had sent her a little info sheet, and as I was going over everything with her it was clear she’d already read it and familiarized herself with Bonnie’s schedule and quirks. While I was gone, she sent me frequent updates and photos! Every time I pulled out my phone to check on my sweet Bonnie, there was ALREADY a message from Aaliyah. She had utilized all the things I left for her to keep Bonnie entertained, and it was clear from every video and photo that Bonnie was having the best time. She may have had a better vacation than me!! It was the most stress free pet sitting experience I have ever had. I highly recommend Aaliyah for any pet sitting needs you may have, and I will definitely be using her again in the future! Bonnie and I love you so much, Aaliyah!
Allyson was absolutely amazing with our pets. This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and she kept me in the loop with updates and with pictures. She completely put my mind at ease and my animals loved her. I would absolutely rebook with her again. Thank you Allyson!
Emily was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. We had a last minute emergency that required us to find someone to stay with our dogs for a week with less than 24 hours notice. Within a few hours of reaching out she was here to meet our dogs and they instantly loved her. She was incredible with communication and pictures while we were gone and I have no doubt that my dogs were in great hands.
Emma was an absolute GEM of a find!!! She stepped in last minute and our pups absolutely adored her immediately. They were watching out the window when she left! She was so sweet and friendly, and followed all the instructions we left her! Would definitely use her again. 1000% recommend! Thank you so much Emma!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mountain City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mountain City on Rover is $40 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,329 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.

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.
