“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.”
“I appreciate Avery taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town. He did a great job of communicating with us throughout our time away. He sent us photos of the dogs and let us know they were fine. We will definitely reach out to Avery again!”
“Kristle was amazing. She came to the rescue after a previous sitter left us high and dry while we were out of the country. Not only did she agree to come take care of the dogs, but she seemed sincerely concerned about their well being and sympathetic to the horrible situation we were in. Kristle spent so much time with our dogs and sent regular updates and pictures of them playing, eating, and drinking water- we are so thankful. She even ran the vacuum before I got home. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Katie is awesome!! She took amazing care of our pups and left our apartment just as we left it. She even went above and beyond to make sure they were safe and comfortable when our AC unexpectedly stopped working, and it got up to 84 degrees inside! We couldn’t thank her enough!”
“Corina did a great job watching my 6 cats and a dog, and even was able to give everyone their meds without issue. I came home to a clean house and a bunch of happy babies. I’ll be booking with her again.”
“They did a great job looking after my sweet boy while I was out of town, I would definitely recommend them. They stayed in contact and gave me regular updates, which really put me at ease about the whole thing. My boy has separation anxiety so I was worried, but he was absolutely fine with his new friends.”
“It was so great to be able to rely on Dina for the best service possible for my Kaila. Kaila is a high energy pup and I was so grateful for Dina to make sure that she would be all tired out and happy to see me home! I highly recommend Dina - she's wonderful with Kaila!! I would have given this 10 stars if there was an option. thanks, Dina!”
“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!”
About: I have had many experience dog sitting for friends and families, ranging from small to huge dogs! My best friend has four cats so I’m very aware of there behavior and of course giving them love 😊 I currently have both a reptile (snake) and amphibian (frog) and taking care of animal and making sure they feel safe is incredibly important to not only my animals, but others. FYI Monday- Thursday I will only be available after 2pm. I will be in class in the mornings. Having my own animals I’ve learned balancing pet care into my days is very important, especially others babies. Im currently a student at ACC taking classes Monday- Thursday but only for a couple hours during the day! I’m always trying to care for animals when I can. My biggest priority when it comes to pet care is making sure the animal feels safe and loved for! I love to follow written instructions on whatever they may be for the specific pet! All pets have different needs and I’m here to advocate for that 👍
“Duncan stayed over the weekend with our pups and they were happy campers! He kept us updated with texts and photos the whole trip, which was wonderful for an anxious pet parent. He even let my little guy with separation anxiety sleep with him! I’d recommend him if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets and house while you’re gone!”
“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!”
“Sierra was great with my two cats, they both warmed up to her quickly and she handled insulin injections for my older cat. I received picture and video updates throughout the day and the house was left in great shape. Will definitely rehire”
About: Hi! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up around pets and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m great with routines and can follow any specific instructions you have—because I know every pet is different. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re gone. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, with time built in for play, feeding, and companionship. I do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a yard, but I make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time through regular walks and supervised potty breaks. Safety is my top priority—I always keep dogs on a leash outside and stay aware of our surroundings. Inside, pets have a calm, secure space to relax, and I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and any special needs. I’m committed to creating a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels at home.

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mountain City is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $56 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 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!
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.
