“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.”
“Michelle was VERY thorough! My pups and cat really loved her. I appreciated the pictures and videos, and if she left the house, she let me know. When we got home, the dogs were happy-ish to see us.. clearly they were pampered and got lots of pets and attention. I wasn't nervous at all with Michelle, especially since my cat came out to meet her during our meet and greet. We will definitely keep her in mind for next time!”
“Denise has house sat twice for us and always does a wonderful job. She leaves the house clean, sends daily updates, and most importantly takes great care of our two dogs!”
“Our pup thoroughly enjoyed his time with Nichole. Nichole was attentive and communicative - we received regular updates which we very much appreciated. We highly recommend Nichole!”
“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.”
“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”
“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.”
“Megan was amazing and so communicative — she went above and beyond. When we had an issue with ants she even went to the store to grab some traps. She offered lots of pictures, and I felt so comfortable with her taking care of our fur baby. Will absolutely use her again!”
“Kristle was fantastic with my two dogs and left my house looking great! She was excellent with communication and quick to clear up any questions. She went above and beyond to make sure my very senior dog and high-energy younger dog had all their needs met. Looking forward to working with Kristle again!”
“We can’t thank Christina enough! This was the first time we’ve had her housesit for us, and I am a very nervous dog mama. She communicated SO well with me and sent me lots of pictures. It felt good to know my dogs loved her and were snuggling up to her from the minute she came over. She’s the best!”
“Michael always does a wonderful job watching our critters. He takes good care of our home and makes sure that our dogs and cat are well cared for when we are away. We are very happy and grateful for Michael's services.”
“Our dog is fearful of meeting new people and Brandi's calm energy was great for him (and my anxiety about trying a new sitter lol!). She dealt with feeding him turkey through his muzzle and all the other details of a first meeting we wanted to cover. 10 stars on communication and reliability. She did wonderfully with Georgie on our 'trial run' before our longer trip and I'm so happy to have found someone we can trust our anxious fur baby with while we're away.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Stephanie! She took such wonderful care of our two pups while we were away, sending frequent updates and the sweetest pictures that gave us total peace of mind. It was so comforting to know they were not only well cared for but truly loved while we were gone. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house. Stephanie went above and beyond in every way. We’re so grateful for her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and genuine care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around amazing sitter!”
“She was amazing! She sent me pictures and made sure to let me know what was going on when I asked. She was also very understanding when I couldn’t answer sometimes due to being in a no phone zone. She left my apartment how I left with I deeply appreciated! Best sitter I’ve ever had, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Loved Robin from the get go. She was very communicative before and during her pet sitting gig. My boys loved having her around. She was excellent at following our routine. She also send a ton of pics. It definitely made us feel at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“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!”

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!
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!!
As usual, Izzy was amazing! I’m so grateful she was available for the Fourth of July weekend! She made sure the dogs were safe and as calm as possible. She even asked ahead of time if they needed anything extra for when fireworks were going to be detonated! Or younger dog had the zoomies one of the days she was here and so she offered to take him for a walk. She’s very thoughtful and even folded all the blankets that were left tossed on the couch (teenagers lol). Definitely will continue using her services!

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.

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.
