Briana was great! We got a few photos and our animals seemed to have been well cared for. Our house was also taken care of. She was communicative and responded quickly. Overall a good experience!

Andrea is a gem. She is communicative, respectful, and left our home in excellent condition. My cats are everything to me and she took wonderful care of them while I was out of town for my birthday. She also left me a sweet card and note with an update. Will definitely book with her again.

Upon meeting Rose, we were instantly warmed by her friendliness and attention to our pets. She impressed us with her organization as she came prepared with thorough questions about our pets and home in preparation for our weekend away. We found her to be considerate of our space and thoughtful about making sure everything was done the way we expected. She went above and beyond by ensuring we received updates and photos all weekend long. We would be happy to work with her again in the future.

Coralee was absolutely incredible. She was very communicative and sent beautiful pictures. She really understood my sensitive baby, and he warmed up quickly to her and clearly felt comfortable and safe. Coralee also was patient and responsive when our travel plans got disrupted, and kept my baby company much later than we originally planned. I very highly recommend her.

Lucia stayed with Coco in our home for eight days while we were away, and I couldn't have asked for a better caregiver. Coco can be shy and anxious with new people, but Lucia was incredibly patient and allowed her to warm up at her own pace. She followed Coco's routine carefully, kept us updated regularly with thoughtful messages and photos, and gave us complete peace of mind throughout our trip. When we returned home, Coco was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious they had formed a special bond, and seeing how comfortable and affectionate Coco was with Lucia meant so much to us. Our home was also just as we had left it. What stands out most about Lucia is how thoughtful and attentive she is. She pays close attention to the little details, genuinely cares about your pet's comfort and well-being, and treats them as if they were her own. It's obvious that caring for animals is more than just a job to her. If you're looking for someone who is compassionate, reliable, communicative, patient, and completely trustworthy, I can't recommend Lucia highly enough. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and look forward to having her care for Coco again.

Danielle did an absolutely incredible job taking care of my dog! I had her come and housesit for me since my dog definitely prefers to stay in her own space. Danielle's experience taking care of her own pets translated so well to taking care of my little one. She was able to follow very specific feeding instructions due to mine being such a picky eater. And Danielle was so communicative the entire time and was always sending me pictures and videos to let me know that my little one was doing great! I absolutely will be booking with Danielle again when I need to travel!

Took great care of my pets-took them on lots of walks and cuddles! Gave me updates about them several times daily. Felt like my dogs had so much fun while I was gone. Came home to cute little photos on the counter of all of them as an extra surprise! Dog person through and through-would recommend and use again!

Jessica watched our dogs while we were out for a wedding and was so great with them! Both dogs enjoyed her company and she sent us pictures and updates while we were away. She was everything we needed from a dog sitter and we would 100% book with Jessica again in the future!

Heather was amazing. She was able to care for our difficult older cat like a pro. Our cat required two medications twice a day, including an injection, and our cat doesn't do well with stranger but she did great with Heather. Heather let us know everytime when she completed the shot which really put our minds at ease. We ended up book her again for two more trips these coming months.

I truly can’t say enough good things about Jaime! From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly communicative — sending thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The biggest testament to her care? I came home to a happy, relaxed fur child who genuinely seemed like they hadn’t even noticed I was gone. That tells me everything I need to know about how loved and comfortable my child felt in her care. It’s not easy trusting someone with your furry family member, but she made it effortless. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter — and I would love to use her again anytime I need support. So grateful to have found her!

About: I have always loved and cared about all animals. I currently own 3 cats, a bearded dragon, a tarantula, and fishes. I wish to peruse job in the veterinary field in the future. I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 family friends would let me walk their dog around the neighborhood. Although I don't own any dogs currently, on my free time i go to the san martin animal shelter and do doggy day out. I take dogs on a field trip out of the shelter weather is a hike, a day at the beach, or just a walk at a park. I am currently not working during the summer and am taking only online classes, so I have enough time play with you pups or kittens! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment, follow all care instructions closely, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection! My goal is to help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.

You can assure your pet will be safe with me and I look forward to the bond I can create with your doggie or kitty. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions or concerns.

Gemma housesat for me for 3 days/2 nights, watching my blind dog and senior cat. My dog requires a fair bit of attention, not only for his blindness but also for the impact of his long-term, high dose of daily prednisone. She took him on slow walks and played his special version of ball. All animals seemed happy and well-cared for when I returned. Gemma also did an amazing job of cleaning everything that she and the animals had used, including when the animals had accidents (I'm sure it was cleaner than how my husband had left it!). I would definitely hire Gemma again.

About: Experienced dog handler and bather while in training to become a groomer! I am experienced with dog behavior, medication administration and overnight shifts. I have a calm approach with all dogs! I love the big softies with all my heart and the little guys never fail to steal my heart. Every dog amazes me with their intelligence! I have also successfully trained a German shepherd with my family and I would be happy to talk about giving your pups a bath while sitting. I currently work as a bather (on my way to grooming academy next month!) and I would love to house sit on the side (overnights and weekends mostly) and as an added bonus I can give your pawesome pets a bubbly bath during house sitting! I will always come with a doggy first aid kit and knowledge of dog/pack behavior, and I have been trained to break up dog fights in the event of any instances out in public or at home.

Mike took good care of our two older dogs. They were happy and healthy apon our 5 day return and the house was great as we left it. He got packages from outside that werent supose to be delivered so that was great too. He showed up on time and stayed until our agreed upon touch down of flight very late the last night. Knowing he lives in the town we do also is nice. We will definitely get him to stay again if he's free next time we need a sitter. He even fixed our tv remote/sound bar connectivity issues. Thanks Mike! Dana

FAQs for House Sitting - Mountain Home

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 3,149 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mountain Home. 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 Home 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 Home 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 Home 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mountain Home. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
