“Denise did an excellent job once again! This time I was able to met her and she was incredibly kind and so good with Winnie! Speaking of, my dog absolutely loved her; she's already a people person, but you can tell she was ecstatic to see Denise. Highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”
“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!”
“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!!!”

They were well taken care of and you could see that they were happy and comfortable around her. Very professional and communicative. She was also very respectful of our home.”
“Amanda is a wonderful pet sitter. She really understood what they needed (I have two stage-5 clingers!). No body was frantic when I got home whichever ne know they felt totally safe and cared for. Amanda sent me pictures everyday. I would absolutely recommend!”
“Katie spent the whole weekend in our home with our Sadie and we are so grateful! Dog people get each other and she’s just that… a dog love that gets us and gets our pup. Thank you, Katie, for keeping our worrying minds at ease and taking care of our baby when we are away!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

“A perfect 10. Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of our pup and staying in communication with us. She also sent over super cute photos of our doggie. We wholeheartedly recommend her services.”
“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!!!!!!”

“#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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain City
Alex was so sweet and caring with our 3 girls and our 6 chickens! He house sat for us and provided excellent care and updates to us multiple times a day. It was exactly what my nervous mom heart needed. He was persistent with trying to win over our rescue dog that took a few days to join her sisters in accepting the kind stranger in her home. He was thorough in reading our notes and asking questions. Communication was excellent. We would recommend Alex to anyone else needing a sitter!
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.
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!
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!
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,329 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.
