“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.”

“I've got to say that Jo is a rare find. She provided exceptional service. We have two dogs and three cats, and she managed our house while we were away with Grace and with ease! We were completely at peace. We look forward to future opportunities to work together.”

About: I've been a trusted caregiver for my friends' dogs and cats, administering unique care for all the special needs they have. I have a passion for animals and I love getting to know what makes your pet so special! I have experience with oral and topical medical treatments, and I am an active person so I am always ready for walks, hikes, or runs. I am currently working part-time throughout the week, with short-notice availability on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, however with a 2 week notice I can clear up my availability for extended stays. I am happy to follow the typical routines your pet is used to, however I typically go on walks morning and evening, giving plenty of attention in between. I always make safety a priority when taking any dogs on a walk. As someone who has a large aggressive dog, I take extra care to avoid potential issues.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and believe they deserve the same patience, attention, and care we would give our own family. As a dog walker and pet sitter, I focus on making every walk and visit a positive, comfortable experience while keeping your pet’s safety and routine a top priority. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as an individual. I take the time to learn their personality, energy level, favorite activities, and specific needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pup loves a long walk, needs extra cuddles, or simply wants a calm companion, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to the little details. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, loved, and excited to see me again! 🐾 I currently not employed and have alot of flexibility. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love throughout the day. I’m also flexible and understand that every pet has a different routine. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime schedules so they feel comfortable and at home. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. 🐾
About: I’ve raised five dogs of my own from puppyhood; as well as watched the dogs of my friends and family since I was young. I’ve had everything from mixed breeds, to French bulldogs, pugs, and even a pit bull! I have experience with oral medication administration and elderly dog care. My current dog was in my care before he could be weened, so I know plenty about little puppies! I believe in keeping my dogs as active as their health permits, so walks are a crucial part of the day for me. (If they can, of course. I’ve also had a senior dog with arthritis I’ve accommodated.) I have a knowledge of dog psychology and feel that it’s important to recognize dog behavior correctly. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule. As long as I know ahead of time, I’m most likely able to accommodate your pet. I always care for your pet as requested. Whether or not your pup is crate trained doesn’t matter, I’ve cared for both. If your dog needs medication, walks at certain times, a health specific diet, has allergies, can’t be around certain animals/noises/environments- I will go out of my way to make sure your pets needs are met. I will always treat your pet as my own.
About: Hi, I’m Morgan! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my sweet 3-year-old Maltipoo 🐶 I’ve been dog-sitting for years and genuinely love getting to spend time with all different kinds of pups. I work remotely, so my schedule is super flexible and can easily be tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m also currently getting my master’s degree, and I use Rover to help support my tuition, which makes this something I truly care about and put a lot of effort into. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just wants someone to hang out and cuddle with, I’ll be there to give them lots of attention and love throughout the day. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always try to make them feel as safe, comfortable, and happy as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I don’t take that lightly 💛 Right now, I’m not offering overnight stays in my home since I live with two other dogs, but I’m more than happy to help with: • Walks • Drop-in visits • Staying in your home I’ll follow your routine closely and keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for your pup. Just a heads up, I am allergic to cats, so I’m only able to care for dogs. Feel free to reach out with any questions at all. I’d love to meet you and your pup and make sure they feel right at home 🐾 I cater my schedule to your dog’s specific needs! I work from home and spend most of my time with my own sweet pup, so I can guarantee your dog will get plenty of attention, love, and playtime during their stay. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m not offering overnight stays right now since I live with two other dogs, but I’m happy to do walks, drop-in visits, or stay in your house while boarding. I’ll follow any routines or instructions you leave and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. Since I work from home, I’m super flexible and can be there when your pet needs me most.

About: I have lots of experience with pit bulls which I breeded and successfully trained. Aside from pits I have worked with other breeds such as Chihuahuas, German Sheppards, boxers, shih-tzus, poodles, french bulldogs, etc. I live in an apartment with no yard but there is a dog park right across the street, I love to run so do enjoy taking a dog along with me if all is good. Mostly prefer early morning or evening walks but am open for options depending on my availabilty. I am open to all dog breeds and would love to work with dogs of all sizes and shapes. My style of training is pretty strict but also display lots of affection so if your pup isn't quite house trained yet I can assist with that.
About: Growing up with a diverse array of pets instilled a deep understanding of their needs. Specializing in cat and reptile care sets me apart as a reliable sitter. Hi! I’m Lexi, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and other household pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or providing extended care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have a special soft spot for cats and understand that many need patience and trust before they warm up to someone new. I also enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels and am happy to follow any routines that help your pet feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time in San Jose and am available for morning, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and love helping pet parents feel confident their pets are cared for while they’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I do my best to maintain their normal feeding, exercise, playtime, and medication schedules. I treat every home with respect and provide regular photo updates and communication throughout each visit. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re apart.
“Angelina and Xavior were great with our fur babies. They were very attentive to the needs of our senior dog and sent lots of updates which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely be requesting them again.”
“I used Grace for housesitting my dog for a few days while I was out of town. Got lots of photos and videos. The dog was well cared for and the house too. Would definitely recommend her.”

“Bex was awesome! She took care of my sick bulldog while i was away and kept me informed everyday on his condition. She even took him to the vet for me so he didn’t miss an appointment to be checked. I will happily request Bex to watch my fur babies again. Thank you, Bex!”


“We came in from out of town for a concert. Sydney was great with our girl Lola. He was also very accommodating and flexible with his time. I’d definitely choose Sydney again when we’re back up this way.”

“Maria is PHENOMENAL! She stayed in our home with our very sweet and anxious dog. Maria took excellent care of our girl and was very communicative with us, which really eased our minds. When our dog initially didn’t eat (something she does when we leave town!) Maria was on top of caring for her and helping her eat. Within a couple of days our dog was eating well and sleeping in the bed with Maria (another big deal for her!) We received lots of pictures of our dog playing, walking, and snuggling. When we got home our girl was happy to see us but was calm and unstressed because of Maria’s excellent care. We are so glad we found Maria and hope she will be available for all of our future travels!”

About: Aside from having my own dog for 18 years, I have also been here on Rover taking care of many of your dogs!!! Loved it I do work part of the week but am available Thursday-Sunday all day. I do a lot of trail hiking and walks so plenty of exercise I had to put my dog down so no pets currently. I treat your pets as if they were my own so lots of love, walks, playtime and attention
About: I have over a year of experience with caring for two adult cats while their owner is away on business trips. Care includes feeding, cooking cleaning litter box, and spending time giving them affection. I also care for my mom’s 3 dogs and 3 cats while she is away on vacation. Care includes walks, feeding, administering medications, and giving lots of love. I will work my schedule and daily routine around your pet care needs. Caring for your pets is my priority, as I am focused on providing your animals the care they need. I will follow any expectations and rules you have regarding your pet’s environment and needs. Whether it’s crates, feeding, walks, medications, or general care, I am focused on providing whatever they need and following your house rules. It is important that you can trust the person coming into your home and caring for your animals.
“Sumaira took great care of our pup; she was happy and healthy when we got home. She even shared photos with us of our girl on her walks and enjoying spending time with Sumaira at home. The house was neat as a pin. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”

About: I've had three dogs in my life. I have some training experience with them and have cared for many of my friends' and acquaintances' pets. Looking forward to supporting wherever I can I have pretty open availability right now. Though I do have a daughter in high school, who needs me for drop off and pick ups. It should not be a hindrance b I keep my cats indoors. And my dogs as well. They are crate trained so I can crate your pet as well and am familiar with the process of crate training.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,120 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mountain Home. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
