“Ally has been the best sitter I've had the pleasure to watch my pup, TARS. She was very attentive and provide such good insight to what happened. THE BEST PICTURE TAKER! TARS was in good hands with Ally! If you don't book her, you're losing the best in the business! If i could rate her more I would. 10 out of 5 stars.”
“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!”
“We had a PCS pop very quickly and we were desperate. Before our housing hunting period, Rachel was amazing to respond quickly to our last min request. She did a quick house visit to meet our dogs and get familiarized. It was clear from that first meeting that she easily connected and adapted to their needs. Our blind Schnauzer took to her very quickly which really put us at ease. During their two week stay, she sent pictures and videos of their and our dogs playing. The whole pack had a great time which gave us one less stressor to worry about during our time away. Huge thanks and we highly recommend Rachel to anyone!”
About: I have had all sorts of animals since I was little, and have spent most of my life caring for any animal I could! I am more than willing to accommodate to you and your babies needs! I work part time typically tues-thurs so I have pretty open availability! I also have reliable transportation so I can reach any home as many times as needed! I have a fenced yard and two pups of my own if your fur baby gets along with friends! I also have a plethora of leashes and some toys if there’s some extra needed attention to give!
About: I have been caring for animals in my personal life as far back as I can remember, and I’ve also worked with them professionally for the past 6 years. I have emergency medical, standard medical care for chronic/acute conditions, and physical therapy experience for dogs. I currently work Monday through Friday, standard work schedule. I have base access! I will be able to drop by before work and after, if housed with me they will be alone for a bit during the day, but I will spend each evening/night with them. I have a large fenced backyard and have 2 dogs at home. They have always gotten along with other dogs and I’ve never had an issue with them starting fights.
About: Obsessed with animals is basically my personality 🐾💕 I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of pets and livestock, including being involved in 4-H, where I learned how to handle and care for animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently have two pups of my own, so I totally understand how important it is to trust someone with your babies. I also have experience caring for dogs with special needs, including administering medication for diabetic pets, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands. I’m super reliable, attentive, and treat every animal like they’re my own—lots of love, patience, and belly rubs included 🤍 Pet care is naturally a part of my everyday life! I have two dogs of my own, so my daily routine already includes feeding, walking, playtime, and lots of attention and love. I structure my schedule to make sure I have plenty of time for pet care, whether that’s morning and evening visits, drop-ins throughout the day, or overnight stays. I’m very consistent with routines and understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal schedule. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a task—it’s something I look forward to and prioritize in my week 🤍🐾 Your pets aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I treat them that way 🤍 I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm, loving environment. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any special instructions you provide. Whether I’m in your home or mine, safety is always my top priority, and I want you to feel completely confident leaving your fur babies with me.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life so I love animals! Growing up I had 3 cats and 2 dogs so it was like a zoo. I would say I like animals more than humans haha. I will make sure to keep you updated the whole time so you can be put at ease while your furry friend is with me. I currently have an online internship so I will be home often with my pups. I’m flexible in my schedule so if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me! I live on Mountain Home AFB so there’s always security. I also have a fenced in backyard and two other dogs your pup can play with!
“Our pup was in the best possible hands while we were away! We appreciated the daily updates and pictures and were pleased to come home to a tidy house and a happy dog!!! Thank you!”
About: I am a veterinary assistant and have worked and surrounded myself with animals my whole life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, worked with vets, and was a dog handler and a doggie daycare over the past few summer years. I have experience with cat, dogs, fish, rodents, reptiles, and more. I love hiking and spending time outside as well, so hikes with dogs are more than welcome! I recently moved to Boise and am excited to get to know the area, so taking your dog on walks is the perfect excuse for me to explore ;) I work Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm so i before and after my shift I can take care of your furry, scaly or slimy friends! I also don’t work weekends at all so my availability is wide open! When working with animals in their own homes, I think it’s important to understand you’re coming into their space and to work slowly to earn their trust! I have worked with many different animals and know how to read body language, so if your pet is uncomfortable I know how to work with them and listen to their needs.
“Cailin went above and beyond our expectations while taking care of our 2 dogs. They were loved and we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away. I cannot recommend her highly enough! We have found a perfect sitter with Cailin.”
“Erin was awesome!! She was quick with responding, provided pictures and updates of Max while we were gone and had a great fenced yard that Max loved 😃. Will definitely use her again!!”
About: My first best friend was an Akita and his name was Marshall Coyote. My parents say, he decided I was his human and we were inseparable. I’ve always had a sweet spot for dogs and all animals. I've grown up with dogs and other animals my whole life and I miss that connection. So I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. One of our family pups just passed away and I know I can put this grief into something positive by spending time around with other pets. I want of pup of my own and I really want one. But I’m not at a place in life to have that responsibility. Because it is a huge responsibility and I believe they deserve the best life possible and be taken care of right. So I’m waiting until I’m more stable with career and have time for it. One day I’ll have created a life that will allow for me to have a fur baby of my own. So I have a lot of extra energy and give your pet love and attention. Help me help you! I’m currently working part time delivering so I drive around for drop in, walks and feeding. I live in a spacious apt. That I’m also happy to have your pet come to me. And can do overnighters. My spacious apartment in Capitol Hill can provide for room to roam. Can be able to crate pup if needed. I have a balcony so fur babe can hang outside and get some fresh air often if needed. No yard but lovely area for walks and parks nearby.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have experience with dogs, cats, and senior pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets over the years. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, attentive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just a calm companion, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have flexibility to provide dependable care and attention throughout the week. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, or companionship, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and maintaining the routine they’re used to while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and a safe environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I treat every home with respect and provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they’re away.
About: What sets me apart is my blend of professional experience and genuine love for animals. I have 5+ years in animal care, including shelter work and experience as a veterinary assistant while completing schooling to become a vet tech. I’ve worked alongside animal behaviorists and assisted with training programs, so I’m confident with puppies, behavior support, and routines. I love walking and hiking dogs, creating enrichment activities, and of course some good puppy snuggles if your pup is a cuddler! I’m comfortable administering oral medications and injections, and I have experience caring for pets with diabetes, Addison’s disease, and asthma. I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Most importantly, I truly respect that every pet parent knows their pet best. I take pride in following your routines and wishes so your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I do currently work full time Tuesday-Friday in a vetrinary clinic. I'm available for evening walks during the week and full time care on the weekends as well as on Monday. If a longer trip is planned or your needing an extra service, I'm open to having a conversation to arrange my schedule to best fit both our needs. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on structure, enrichment, and lots of love. I have a fully fenced yard and provide 2–4 walks daily (or more/less as requested by pet parents). I live an active lifestyle, so your pup will get plenty of movement, unless their needs are limited, in which case I’m happy to slow things down. I offer pet-parent–approved enrichment activities throughout the day to help pets stay engaged or enjoy calm rest time. If your dog loves fetch, we’ll definitely be playing! I share my home with two friendly dogs and two cats. My dogs are welcoming to other dogs, and my cats truly think they’re dogs themselves. If you’re concerned about dogs and cats together, no worries! My cats have separate, safe areas they can retreat to at any time. I’m happy to welcome friendly pets and always follow your routines and preferences to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home. If your pet is more nervous around other dogs, I'm happy to provide the same services in your personal home. Send me a message, if you have any questions? Let's get connected, I can't wait to meet your best friend!

Allan takes very good care of TARS. He makes sure the guidance you place in his hands is taken care of to a T. He goes above and beyond to make sure if there is an issue it is resolved or that things are better than they were received. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter for TARS.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mountain Home on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 15 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
