“Dominique did a great job with our two small dogs. She is a great communicator and overall great experience. Definitely will hire her again and recommend to anyone else.”
About: I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and cats for as long as I can remember! I have three energetic fur babies of my own - one dog and two cats - who I love deeply and am very protective of. When I care for your fur child/children, I will treat them like my own. I will give them the same love, attention, and protection I give my own pets. I’m always open to learning any specific routines or needs your babies have so I can provide the absolute best care. Your pets will be safe, loved, and well looked after while you’re away! I currently have a fully open schedule and plenty of time to play with and care for your pets! I am available all days of the week and at any hour of the day. You need me, I am there. Your pets will be treated just like my own. I have one energetic dog and two playful cats, so I am familiar with a busy, loving household full of fur babies. Since I have a fully open schedule, I can give your pets lots of playtime, attention, and supervision and can stay longer during drop-ins if you’d like. I’ll follow any routine you prefer (feeding times, walks, etc) and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I also have experience giving oral medication to both cats and dogs, so I am comfortable handling that if needed. I keep a close eye on everyone and am very protective, so your pets will be well cared for and never left alone for long periods. I’ll send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing and have a peace of mind :)
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.
“Michael was absolutely amazing with my 2 old men, he was very communicative, they loved him, and he was very attentive to their individual needs and personalities. Will definitely book with him again!”
“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!”
“Reuben took excellent care of my 3 pets while I was out of town. Communication was great and he left the house so clean. My pets are healthy and happy. I'd recommend Reuben for sure!”
“Teagan went above and beyond to keep us updated on how our precious dog was doing while we were gone. It’s always nerve wracking letting a stranger stay in your home and leaving your pet in their hands. Teagan left our house extremely tidy and sent several photo updates throughout our trip. We will definitely book her again!”
“Tori was fantastic with my pup! She was able to gain his trust quickly, which can be hard at times. She kept me posted with how things were going and provided plenty of photos. I would 100% use Tori again when I need a sitter.”
“Duncan did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies while we were away! He is always so patient and kind to our pets and keeps our home tidy! We will always recommend Duncan!”
About: I am a stay at home mom of 2, ages 14 and 9. We currently have 2 cats, 2 goldfish and an aquatic turtle. We have also had dogs and love all animals. My son is huge reptile lover and is willing to help. We are happy to help with feeding, medications, giving extra love, long walks or anything you need help with. I currently am a part time work from home mom that does personal training/health coaching and have a good amount of flexibility In my schedule especially during the summer. My 14 year old son is also going to help me out so he can earn extra money over the summer. We are willing to come to your house and help take care of pets while you are at work or out of of town. I typically won’t take pets into my home because of my cats, but I am open to it depending on the pet.
“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.”
“Great sitter! My dog is very hyper and has some puppy behaviors that are being worked on but Grant handled her perfectly! Communicated and sent pictures. Would happily book with again!”
“Gihan watched our baby for the first time and was wonderful with him. Very patient with his fussy quirks and really taking the time to get to know him better. We appreciated her sending updates and plenty of photos to keep us posted on how things were coming along throughout the day. We already have her booked again for our next time away!”
“Heidi is amazing! Not only did she take excellent care of my little dog for 3 days, but she took above and beyond care of my place. My dog has separation anxiety but you wouldn’t know it because she bonded with Heidi right away. If you need a pet sitter look no further - Heidi will take great care of your pet and is a great communicator. I will book her again without question.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain City
Carolina was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our home and our three dogs, Duke, Winston, and Tito, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure all three boys were well taken care of and comfortable. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter and would highly recommend Carolina to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their home and pets. We would happily have her back anytime!
Booked with Michelle to help us take care of our pups for a weekend and we absolutely loved having her! She was great with communicating to us and took amazing care of Loki and Thor. We loved hearing her observations on their personalities and would love to have her help next time!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mountain City is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,261 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
