“Stephanie is awesome! She met with me and my four fur babies (3 dogs/1 cat) twice before our trip and we all loved her from the get-go! My daughter‘s dog is a sweetheart, but she usually takes a while to warm up to strangers but not Stephanie, she warmed right up to her which was a great sign and indicator that I picked the right person for our housesitting job. Stephanie is so easy to work with and you can tell she truly loves animals. She gave me peace of mind so much that I didn’t even worry during my trip. I would definitely hire her again!”
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.
“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!”
“Roselle was great taking care of my two girl Frenchies and cat. I came home from being away for 8 days to happy girls. My home was left clean and the yard was clean as well. Thank you again for watching them 💕”
“Erica watched my pit bull, Kali, while I was away for work for a week. I received daily pictures of Kali enjoying her daily routine, all in the comfort of our home : ) I highly recommend Erica and Rover as my Kali was able to stay within her friendly confines of her own home and was very well taken care of : )”
About: I’ve had several dogs over the years including puppies whom I’ve trained from scratch, as well as temperamental seniors. I love them all and they usually like me too. ☺️ To get $20 off your first booking, use this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/sonalv50918 I work part-time from home so I’m able to dedicate a lot of time and attention to your pet. Walking them is one of my favorite forms of entertainment and exercise. I have a 5 ft high fenced backyard and the Sierra Azul trail entrance is just a 5 minute walk from my house so there is plenty of walking terrain for your doggies. While at my house, your cutie pies will be allowed on the sofa and bed unless you say otherwise. I’m also able to drive out to your place and spend some cuddle time with your fur babies. Just let me know what their needs are, I’m adaptable.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and neighbors for about 15 years, and I’ve had dogs my entire life. My first dog came into my life when I was just 7 years old. She was my best friend and lived a long, happy life. As a young adult, I had my next dog—an Akita who absolutely loved people. She, too, was part of our family for many wonderful years and was very loved and spoiled. Since then, I’ve chosen to adopt my family dogs from shelters. My most recent dog recently moved to Los Angeles with my college student, and while I’m so happy for them, I definitely miss having a dog around! That’s why I would love the opportunity to spend time with your dog. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own—with lots of love, attention, patience, walks, and, of course, plenty of spoiling. 🐾❤️ I understand how important it is to know that your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’d be honored to give your dog the same love and care I’ve given my own dogs throughout my life. Your Dog’s Routine, Their Home Away From Home 🐾 I’m currently retired, which gives me the flexibility to fit right into your dog’s normal routine. Whether your pup enjoys daily walks, playtime, or simply relaxing by your side, I’m happy to accommodate what makes them comfortable and happy. If your dog is energetic, we can enjoy walks and plenty of playtime together. And if your dog is more of a couch potato, that’s perfectly fine too—we can simply hang out, relax, and enjoy each other’s company. ❤️ My goal is to make their time with me feel as much like home as possible, while giving them plenty of love, attention, and care. A Safe, Loving Home Away From Home 🐾 I have a two-story single-family home with a securely fenced-in yard, giving your dog plenty of space to feel comfortable and at home. For potty breaks and backyard time, I always go outside with the dogs. I never simply let them out on their own—I want to make sure they are safe and supervised. I’m recently retired, so I’m home most of the day and able to give your dog lots of attention and companionship. If I do need to leave, it’s usually just for a couple of hours to run errands. My home is safe, comfortable, and dog-friendly, and I truly enjoy having dogs around. Your dog will be treated like part of the family and will receive plenty of love, attention, and, of course, a little spoiling! ❤️🐶 After a lifetime of loving and caring for my own dogs, along with about 15 years of pet sitting for friends and neighbors, I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
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, love their energy. 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 3 jobs as a bather, a handler and a sitter here on rover. I am a single mother and i love getting a chance to housesit and be with animals while they are in their natural habitat. Working in a daycare and grooming salon is amazing and rewarding but there is nothing like getting to spend time with them one on one. I love my work and hope to hear from you where we can discuss all details. 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.
“Rima was amazing! She took really great care of our fur baby and our house. We never really leave our dog alone or with anyone else that’s why I was a little worried how she’s going to be. Also, our dog sometimes gets anxious around new people, but Rima was super sweet and our fur baby bonded with her really quick, which gave me a piece of mind for leaving her in a caring hands.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Jaime! She watched our fur baby Loki for a couple of nights and did an amazing job. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Loki absolutely loved her, and it was clear she treated him like one of her own. We’ll definitely be booking with Jaime again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐾💛”
“Andrew is an attentive, thoughtful pet sitter who quickly earned my pets trust. He ensured my pets food and water dispensers were always full, and went above and beyond to ensure my pets received attention and excellent care while we were on vacation. I highly recommend Andrew for both longer and short duration pet sitting needs!”
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
“Allie was the sweetest with our two boys (adult male cats). She took good care of the house and when we got back the boys did not hide under the furniture, instead they were happy to see us. The best part was her excellent communication and that she sent proof of life images daily! I would not only recommend her, I will reserve her again in the future. Can’t go wrong with kind, reliable, and excellent communication skills!”
“Jamie took great care of my dog and made me feel comfortable while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, kind, patient, and very sweet with him. My dog seemed happy and well cared for, and it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“It was so wonderful having the peace of mind knowing that my fur baby was in good hands while I was away. Icy did an amazing job of communicating how things were going at home including sending daily pictures. We will definitely be using Icy again!”
“Phoenix was fantastastic, AGAIN? She kept us informed about Luffy with texts and photos. She showed Luffy a lot of love and really reassured us during our time away that he was being well cared for. It made missing him a little less stressful. She has definately become our go to for care for our beloved little boy while we are away. Thank you, Phoenix. Really appreciat you!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,136 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
