“Alex is the best! Highly conscientious, a great communicator, and a real animal lover! Our dog's digestive challenges didn't faze him and he worked hard to develop a connection with her. (she's very shy and wary of strangers). At his suggestion, we had two meet-and-greet sessions and Alex took careful note of all the information we gave him. Alex left the house in perfect condition, even washing and changing the sheets on the bed. We would ask Alex back anytime! Thank you, Alex!”
“Kalena is absolutely wonderful. Our dogs love her and she sent us so many adorable update videos and pics. Our dogs are our babies and she took such great care of them. Thank you from the bottom of our heart!”
About: Hi I’m Hayley! I’ve been a compassionate animal lover my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs. My husband and I rescued our Evey at 3 months old and she’s now 9 years old! We take excellent care of her and she’s treated like part of the family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else while traveling, so that is why high quality attention and care is my priority. I like to keep you updated, sending plenty of photos and always communicating. I’m available for house-sits, drop in visits for cats as well as in home boarding for dogs. My husband works from home and I have a flexible schedule. Whether you have a younger high energy dog who needs lots of playtime and walks and exercise, or you have a senior dog who likes to cuddle and lounge around on the couch I’m here for you! I’m currently working part time so I do have plenty of time to play, take care of, and give attention to your doggies! A typical day if you’re boarding your dog at our house would be outdoor time first thing in the morning, breakfast, nap time, a walk late morning or evening depending on the Texas heat, relaxing inside, dinner, more outdoor time, play time, cuddles and bed. If you’ll be boarding at our home, we have a house that is set up perfectly for dogs and a large fenced in backyard for them to run and play safely. Someone is always out there with them whether it’s me or my husband Nathan. They get plenty of attention in our home since we are home all day.
“Suzanne was wonderful with our lab, Dixie! From the moment she arrived for the meet and greet, her love for animals was evident and her professionalism impressive. Suzanne was attentive to detailed instructions, asked pertinent questions, and clearly had Dixie’s welfare in mind at all times. And when there were last minute plan changes, Suzanne was ON IT!!!…..she was patient and flexible, always willing to ensure Dixie received the best care possible. Her daily updates and praise for our girl put our minds at ease, knowing that Dixie had the love and affection she craves. What more could you ask for?!?!?! Suzanne was a WIN for everyone and we won’t hesitate to use her in the future! Thanks again, Suzanne!!!!!!”
“Willow did a great job house sitting for us and watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats, they all loved her and she performed all duties we asked + gave lots of play time and walks. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their pets. My dogs are my absolute world, so I know firsthand how important it is to treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your dog needs high-energy play, gentle senior care, or a reliable drop-in visit, you can trust they will be in safe, caring hands. Pet care is my full-time job, which means your pets will have my complete, undivided attention throughout the day. I have total flexibility with my schedule to accommodate custom feeding routines, high-energy play sessions, frequent potty breaks, and comforting companionship whenever they need it. I provide a safe, secure, and welcoming environment tailored completely to your pet's needs. Whether hanging out at my place or checking in at yours, I am vigilant about pet-proofing, keeping routines consistent, and handling any special care instructions with total responsibility so you can travel with complete peace of mind.
“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”
“Lea did an amazing job taking care of our cat Tiger. She always update us and respond quickly on our messages. She did what we ask her regarding our cat routine and feeding. We felt comfortable leaving our pet to her and did not worry at all on our entire trip.I will definitely use her service again in the future. Thank you Lea!”
“Brandon was such a pleasure to work with, when I returned home everything was perfect! Pups were so happy and excited to see me. My house looked great! He communicated regularly, and Brandon definitely eased all my anxiety. I am nervous pet mom and Brandon ensured me that everything went fabulous! Thank you so much Brandon❤️”
“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!”
“Sage was incredible!! They instantly bonded with our dogs, a feat for two anxious girlies who don’t warm up to strangers easily. They sent lots of photos and took the girls on daily walks. They left our home so spotless and went above and beyond and laundered our sheets and ran the dishwasher. You can tell they really just love animals so dearly, and we are so grateful that our girls had someone as loving and kind as Sage to watch them while we were away. We hope to use them again in the future!”
“Mia was very attentive and loving to our German shepherd while she dog sat in our home for 2 nights. She followed the detailed instructions we left her. She even reached out when she was concerned our dog was not eating her normal meals since she was told about the dog’s digestive issues. We appreciated the photos along the way. Will definitely rebook with her.”
“Fonz was incredibly helpful, caring for my dog during an ice storm., while I was away traveling abroad. My dog who is typically shy and nervous, was immediately attached to Fonz which was not surprising since Fonz has such a warm personality and demonstrated he knows how to communicate and handle doggies. I will definitely hire his services again. He also left my house clean. Thanks! :)”
“Leah was amazing with our dog Murphee, even when she gave her a little trouble getting leashed up. Leah was super accommodating, and took such great care of our furry kiddo sending pictures and updates throughout the week! She even left a couple Polaroids for us of Murphee 🥹 Will definitely have her come back 💛”
“We feel so lucky to have found Alexa! She took amazing care of our pets, including giving medication to our very unhappy cat, managing our two cats who are still learning to live together, all while taking care of our dog as well. She went above and beyond in every way and treated our fur babies like family. The updates, photos, communication, and level of care were incredible. She stayed at our home and left it cleaner than we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone you trust completely with your pet — we will absolutely be repeat clients!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain City
She has been wonderful with my fur babies! They’re always happy to see her, and she follows all my instructions carefully. She helped me tremendously while I was out of town, giving me peace of mind knowing my pets were safe, loved, and well cared for. I feel completely comfortable and confident leaving them in her care. I’m so grateful for her help and highly recommend her!
We had such a great experience with Michelle! She took amazing care of Emiliano and kept me updated with lots of pictures, and messages throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. ❤️ I would absolutely trust her with Emiliano again and highly recommend her! She truly treated him like her own. 🐾❤️l
Denise was amazing with our little Morkie. Because of medical conditions, Clooney cannot be left at a boarding facility, so we needed someone who would stay with him night and day to provide his regular medications. Denise not only took very good care of him, she provided regular updates and photos so that we did not miss him too much. We highly recommend 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.
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!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .

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.
