“If you are able to book with Alex. Book with Alex! Professional,caring, detail oriented, kind, transparent, and skilled. We have been lucky to be able to get scheduled with Alex for a couple events so far and another coming up. Zero anxiety when we are away because we know the pups are in beyond capable hands. Thanks, Alex!!! Zep and LeeLoo had a ball!”
“Cayla is a great dogsitter for our rescue dog Annie. Annie tends to get really nervous when we're away and Cayla is very good with her; she's responsible and made us feel very comfortable having her stay in our home. Would highly recommend.”
“My pup was so happy when I got back and everything was as I had left it. She communicates with you frequently and is always good at getting back with you on anything requested. I highly recommend Denise for your dog care needs!”
“Michelle was so incredible. This was my first time having a dog sitter for my 8yr old vizsla + my new vizsla puppy, I have always had anxiety over leaving them with anyone but my parents but we recently moved so needed to find a sitter for them. Michelle made my first experience so positive. She was SO communicative, so patient with my very high energy and needy girls, and was so respectful of my home! I genuinely didn’t worry about them once in her care. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you, Michelle!!!”
“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!”
“Katie is amazing!!! We got our dachshund puppy, Opie, in February. Although he is as cute as can be and very friendly, he is a handful right now! And, in this small amount of time, we have not been able to get him as comfortable being alone or in his crate as much as we would like. He also was too young to be boarded with his brother (7 year old dachshund). We needed to go away for a few days for our wedding, and decided to try house sitting through rover for the first time. We found Katie, and I am so happy we did!! She was very patient and kind. She was at the house almost the entire time with Opie and made him feel so comfortable. She was flexible with letting Opie cuddle in the bed overnight, and made him feel safe when he was scared of a loud storm!! She was great at communicating and sharing pictures which we appreciated. Also, our home looked exactly as it did when we left. We could actually barely tell she was even there haha! I HIGHLY recommend her services!! She has the sweetest heart and we will definitely be reaching out again.”
“Nadia is a god send, she is so sweet. She has a wide knowledge base for different types of personailities, communicated with me daily and was happy to give updates. The pups loved her. Nadia followed all instructions to a tee. Reasonable fees, on time, trustworthy, and kept my house clean. Would definitely recommend Nadia.”
“Michael is wonderful. He’s stayed with our little pack 4 times now, I think. He’s our go-to guy whenever we need a pet / house sitter on Rover. He’s excellent with communicating. Our dog and 2 cats are always content when we get back home, and the house is always just as we left it.”
“Dominique is amazing! Very communicative, professional and, best of all, very caring for our pups! We have one dog with bad allergies and requires extra care; she managed with no problem which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely book Dominique again!”
“Kristel is amazing !! She is our go to sitter and takes such good care of the house and the babies . The house was spotless , pets were happy and well taken care of . Highly recommend!!”
“#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!”
“Brandi is great at communicating and understanding my anxious pups needs. George was so happy and relaxed when we came home from a week long trip. I'm so happy he has such a caring new bestie to stay with him when we're out of town.”
“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”
“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!”
“Lily was great to have with our dogs. She was very respectful and attended to our instructions with respect and understanding. The dogs took to her right away and when we returned they were calm and regulated.”
“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!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Mountain City is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain City
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!
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!
RyeLee recognized our mention of “Denise” an hour before our departure and ran to front door looking for her. It had been several months since her last stay. He walked with us out to the sidewalk as we left but turned around to go back to Denise. Denise is a good companion to RyeLee. She pretty much stays with him the entire time we’re gone. That’s what our Little Boy needs. How blessed we are to have Denise as RyeLee’s primary Rover sitter.
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!
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!
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 4,290 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
