“Amanda did an excellent job caring for our dogs while we were away. She kept us updated, left our home clean and tidy, and most importantly, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. We truly appreciated the peace of mind she provided and would gladly book with her again. Thank you, Amanda!”
About: Growing up, I loved helping my dad care for his hunting dogs during training sessions and occasionally joining them on hunts. I also helped care for our family dogs by taking them on walks, feeding them, bathing them, and spending time playing with them. During college, I cared for friends' dogs and cats in their own homes, including taking dogs on walks and looking after kittens. I also have a cat of my own who I've had for about a year and a half, so I know how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. Beyond cats and dogs, I have experience caring for horses, guinea pigs, reptiles, and other small animals through my time working on farms. I'm passionate about animals and love getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I also work from home, which means I can spend plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day! I'm happy to provide extra company and attention for pets who need a little more reassurance while you're away. My own cat has some serious attachment issues 😂, so I'm very familiar with having a furry little shadow and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'll do my best to stick to your pet's usual routine and give them lots of love while you're away! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day! I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, including extended stays when my schedule allows. I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my priority! I'm happy to follow your instructions closely, keep up with their normal routines, and make sure they're comfortable in their own home. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I'll take the time to get to know them and respect their boundaries. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I know how to treat them the way they deserve to be treated. I am also very active and can take the dogs for walks and runs frequently. I currently work a full-time job at my house. My current job would allow me frequent breaks to let the dogs go outside and play. I have my own miniature golden retriever here in my townhome. She is very sweet and really likes to play. I unfortunately do not have any land but I take my dog out for a walk/run on a daily basis so whatever dog that stays with me will be sure to get some exercise.
About: I have had a dog my whole life and love animals. I love the chance to spend time and care for other's animals as well. I currently work part time because I just moved to Idaho and have availability to care for pets in my free time. I would love to play and walk your dog when I am not at my other job and would love the opportunity to provide overnight care too. I am currently working part time so I have somewhat a lot of availability to care for pets during the week or on the weekends I have a backyard and will be able to take your pet on plenty of walks and give them the environment they need to make it through the day.
“1 MILLION out of 5 STARS, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Kambry is truly exceptional in every way! Our dogs mean the absolute world to us. With our children grown and out of the house, our two senior pups (13 and 14) are very much our babies. They experience significant anxiety when boarded, so for years we've had someone stay in our home whenever we travel. After almost 10 years with the same trusted sitter, moving to a new state and starting over with someone we'd never met was no small thing. Finding Kambry was an absolute blessing! My husband and I both have demanding executive careers, and we needed someone we could genuinely trust to stay with our pups and take care of our home while away on an important, nearly weeklong business trip. From our very first conversation through her thoughtful follow up after we returned, Kambry was outstanding. Incredibly responsive, thoughtful, professional, and genuinely kind. Her background in the military, fire service, and first responder training initially caught my attention, but it was the way she carried herself and cared for both our dogs and us as their pet parents that really set her apart. She's beyond capable and exceptionally conscientious, while still having the warmth and genuine love for animals that make someone a truly wonderful pet sitter. Her communication deserves its own five star review. Multiple times a day, without ever having to ask, she sent thoughtful updates with the best photos and videos. We could see how relaxed, happy, and loved our dogs were. For anyone who has ever spent a trip worrying about their pets, you know how priceless that is. We didn't spend a single moment wondering how things were going. Her PROACTIVE communication gave us complete peace of mind and clarity. And then there's the house. We'd been in our brand new home for less than two months, so having someone stay there was another leap of faith. Kambry treated it with the same care and respect she gave our dogs, even helping us navigate a few unexpected household matters while we were away. Our home was pristine when we returned, and she even left us a sweet note welcoming us home! What impressed us most was that Kambry didn't simply do everything we asked. She anticipated our needs, paid attention to the smallest details, and made the entire experience effortless. We were able to be fully present on our trip, knowing that everything we cared about most back home was in wonderful hands. Kambry is the rare combination of highly qualified, exceptionally reliable, and genuinely caring. Finding someone who inspires this level of trust and peace of mind is truly priceless. If you're fortunate enough to find an opening on her calendar, BOOK HER! She is absolutely be our first choice every time we travel.”

Ally did an amazing job taking care of my animals! She gave them so much love and made sure they got plenty of playtime. I really appreciated all the photos and updates she sent. Ally even came over for a meet and greet beforehand which was so nice and made me feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. My animals all love her. We can’t wait to have her pet sit for us again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Mountain Home is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $50 per night.

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.
