“Thank you so much for caring for Pliny. You went above and beyond. Thanks for walking her and playing with her, and helping her feel comfy while we were gone. And the special gift of framed pics was really sweet!”
“Tyler was friendly and communicative. He was interested in our dogs habits and wanted to know her full routine so he could keep her comfortable while we were traveling. Tyler sent updates with pictures during his stay. We came home to a tidy house and a happy dog.”
“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!”
About: hello! i’m itzel feel welcome to check my profile :) I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, i grew up taking care of my own fur baby bella boo (she’s also in one of the pictures lol) and she’s taught me how much love, patience, and attention pets deserve. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and will most definitely treat your pets like they’re my own.

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. 🐾
“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.”
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.
“Lizzy was a great sitter that I will definitely book again. The dogs warmed up to her extremely quickly during the meet and greet. She was punctual, communicative and responsible!”
“Angelina and Xavier are very attentive to our fur babies needs and requirements. They have taken care of all of our pets for multiple overnights and always do a great job of keeping up with medication and feeding schedules as well as spending quality time with them. It is so great to have someone you can depend on staying with the furbabies. Peace of mind when you are away from home IS EVERYTHING.”
“Oleksandr was great! My 2 small dogs usually sleep with us at night, but when we were away, they instantly loved Oleksandr and slept with him every night. He even bought them a new toy to play fetch with them! I will definitely be asking him to come house sit for us again.”
“We’re so happy we found Denise!! This was our first time using Rover, and Denise stayed with our four dogs (three small mutts, one pit bull). Great communication, dogs loved her, and we felt really comfortable while we were gone knowing she was there. She left our house in perfect condition and even helped us with our garden ?! We’ll definitely be booking with Denise again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Mountain Home
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 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.
