“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
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!
About: Hi there! I’m Ann, your friendly and reliable dog sitter. I’ve been caring for dogs for years, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than spending time with pups of all shapes and sizes. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, or just providing companionship and cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m attentive, trustworthy, and experienced with everything from high-energy puppies to senior dogs who just want a cozy nap buddy. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. I ma currently working full time Mon-Fri. But, I am free on weekends and selective weekdays. I can do stop bys and dog walking on weekdays after work too. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs that will keep your pup company. When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I provide a clean, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax and feel at home.
About: Since I was 12, I've been a care taker of dogs. I've bred, dogsitted, and adopted over my lifetime. My bond with them is unmatched Im an Airmen in the United States Airforce. My current schedule allows extra time to enjoy other hobbies like taking care of fur babies. Currently available to stay overnight at clients home within certain distance! Trust and attention to detail is imperative. The owner will tell me the expectations they would like out of their experience. Dogs are amazing animals. Giving them a stress- free, fun visit would be my goal.
“Gunner is a very kind and conscientious pet and house sitter. He is communicative and provided updates and pictures of our cat happily interacting with him. My mind was so at ease knowing Gunner was taking care of my cat and home while we were away. I would definitely hire him again!”
“Took great care of our babies! Did a great job with our diabetic doggo and his big brother 🥰 We normally like to travel with our dogs, but couldn't take them- so we were worried. Esp with our one dog needing a regular food/med schedule. They had a great response time and sent photos regularly, which made us feel better. Came home to a clean house and 5 happy fur babies.”
About: Growing up around animals of many kinds and many temperaments— I am experienced in providing speciality care where connection to the animal is important. I am patient and loving as well as experienced in administering medicines and adhering to specific feeding schedules. I am currently working part-time and have a lot of flexibility in schedule ! Also have a working vehicle and do not mind a little drive ! I have also house sat many times over the years and always leave it more clean than when I arrived. I adore being able to keep critters company and provide loving and patient care.
“Very pleased with Cailin's week spent with our 2 goldendoodles at our home. She tended to our many outdoor plants. The house was clean and welcoming when we walked in the door. Thank you, Cailin!”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job with our three boys. She kept us updated and went above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly for our return home. We will definitely use Alyssa again in the future!”
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.
“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: When growing up, I grew up with at least 2 to 3 big dogs in the house, and I always enjoyed spending my days with them. Throughout college, I took care of my personal dog judge, after graduating I adopted two more, Maverick and Nala. My dogs are spoiled rotten to the point where I spoil them more than myself, you can expect your dogs to be given the same treatment maybe even a little better. Don’t tell my pups lol. Right now I currently work at gowen Field as a Blackhawk pilot, but my job gives me the flexibility to schedule around and make sure that I have the time and availability to take care of your fur babies. I’m fine waking up early in the mornings also going to bed late at night so I will always make time for them. We have a huge fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood, also a shed in the backyard that can be converted into a private room for your Doggos if needed. Your dogs can expect lots of pets, walks, and playtime/socialization time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mountain Home on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 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.
