“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!”
“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!”
“Kristle was perfectly on time with great communication prior to and during our booking! She was kind, patient and flexible. I’ll be booking with her again in the future. I rarely trust anyone with my pup, but she did amazing for me last minute!”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She gave regular, detailed status updates, spoiled them with so much love, and just went above and beyond. Our pups adored her, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“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!”
“Valerie was great at helping with the dogs and sticking to their routine. She was also super helpful in bringing in packages and coordinating with some services I had coming to the house. Already have her booked for future visits and will continue to use her!”
“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!”
“Duncan was my house sitter for several days. He is an excellent communicator who goes above and beyond. My dogs love him which is amazing. One of my dogs is quite skittish with men, but Duncan was patient and was able to pet him and made sure that he ate. Loved all of the pics that Duncan sent. It is very reassuring when you are away from home.”
“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.”
“Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.”
“Received frequent updates including pictures! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone she doesn’t know and she had a great time with Michael! Highly recommend!!”
“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!!!!!!”
“Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.”
“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!”
“Jamie is the best! She is super responsive in communication, sends cute updates and pictures on our little dog, and my family just feels good knowing she's at our house. She's flexible, and always so helpful with random needs like bringing in our excessive packages and mail! Hahaha. We hope she's always available for upcoming times we need to leave town!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Mountain City is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain City
If Dani can take care of our dog, she can take care of absolutely any dog. We trusted Dani with our senior pup who is also sick, and she made sure he was happy throughout the entire weeklong stay. She happily hosted him at her house where she gave him daily walks, outings, and his daily special diet and needed supplements and medications (there was a lot!!). She also sent us tons of updates and photos to give us some peace of mind while we were out. And let me tell you, he looked as happy as a clam. You can also immediately tell that Dani and her family have a big heart and love dogs. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future if need be and recommend her to anyone who is looking to find a sitter who is local, loving and trustworthy. Thank you Dani!!
Denise is absolutely incredible and always goes above and beyond! She has taken care of Winston numerous times over the past year and a half, and she consistently does a phenomenal job. I have zero worry in the world whenever he is with her because I know he is safe, loved, spoiled, and treated like one of her own. The level of care, attention, and effort Denise puts into every stay is unmatched. Having someone I trust completely with Winston gives me a level of peace of mind that is truly priceless. He is always happy and incredibly well cared for, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to watch him. I highly recommend Denise to anyone looking for a dependable, loving, and truly exceptional dog sitter!
Madison is such an excellent pet sitter! She took wonderful care of my little Kevin and he loves her. She is so sweet with him. She follows care instructions to a T & always sends pics and updates, no matter what special care your pet needs. She was also extremely respectful of my space and left everything clean and tidy. Madison is the best! You would be so lucky to have her care for your pet!
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!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,323 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.

- 91% 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.
