“Kristen was great with my pups! Both of my dogs are rescues and one in particular can be very timid. I can always tell when she'll be okay with someone and she was great with Kristen from the start. Kristen showed up at the requested times, sent plenty of photos and updates and I wasn't worried about my dogs one bit while out of town. Thank you Kristen!”
“Kim is an excellent pet sitter! My cats love to hide and she patiently searched for them and often found them! She took care of them as if they were her own. We will definitely be asking her to care for our kitties again!”
“Everything you want in a pet sitter. Excellent quick communication, sincere attention and love for your fur babies, and Safety and Security knowing that she is the best caretaker with her Veterinary background”
“Laura was a very kind and caring presence while I was out of town. She took great care of my 2 small dogs. She would drop in to let them out and feed them as I had requested. If you ever want a sitter with a tender heart and attention to detail, reach out to her.”
“Jennifer is lovely and was so patient with my numerous mistakes in going through the process of getting it booked. She was very gentle and sweet with my senior girls and she will definitely be my go to sitter while I am in Asheville.”
“Griffin was happy and we were worry free. Will surely engage Mac again to look after our dog Griffin when we go on trips. She communicated very well through the whole process (updates and pictures), loves dogs and knows how to take care of a dog. She always enquired if we needed anything else to help out since we were away and that was very thoughtful and reassuring to us. Our dog was relaxed and appeared happy when we got back home. Thank you!”
“Jennie is the consistent “drop-in visitor” for our dachshund puppy and she is amazing! She is loving, punctual, attentive and communicative. She has learned our girl’s personality and likes and dislikes and has made each visit special for our pup. Jennie has worked with us for a little over a month now and we could not have picked a better fit!”
“Jill was awesome! She made an instant connection with our dog. She shared great photos of our pup having a good time. We felt comfortable with her immediately and the entire time.”
“Denisse did drop-ins to check on my cat and she was great. I could tell my cat really warmed to her and enjoyed being around her! She seems to understand cats very well. I know none of us like to be away from our fur babies, but I definitely felt a little more at ease with Denisse’s detailed updates and photos letting me know how my cat was doing. Overall, Denisse did a fantastic job — she was thorough, communicative, and flexible from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Alexis was wonderful with my Alaskan Shepherd while away for the week — she provided the most wonderful updates and photos throughout my time away, was responsive, thoughtful and responsible on all fronts. I could not have been more comfortable and happy with her care for Takaya. She’s the best.”
About: Thank you for helping fund my college education!! About my Pet Care Experience: I am an experienced foster for many types of pets, ranging from week-old bottle-babies to elderly large dogs and different cats. Routine is important! I have learned to provide specific schedules for all types of fur babies depending on their needs. Currently, I am pursuing my bachelor's in nursing, so I am booked Mondays all day and Wednesday mornings. I make lots of tie for pets, as I recognize the value in enrichment. I run in the mornings, so let me know if your dog/dogs would like to join me as well! Water is always fresh and available, food is provided on a schedule unless otherwise noted. My apartment is not huge but there's nothing dangerous for pets. I pick up any smal items and plants when pets are home.
“Denene was spectacular! Our old lady, Sophie, loved her, too. She spent most of the visits on Denene's lap. Her communication and attention to the details were excellent. I will most certainly book Denene in the future.”
“I highly recommend Ana! I’m new to the area and needed someone I could trust to care for my shy cat, Littles, while I was out of state for nine days. He was still adjusting to our recent move and had been stressed by water intrusion issues and all the maintenance visits that followed. Ana was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and set up a meet-and-greet right away. Littles spent most of that first visit hiding behind the couch, but she was patient and determined to win him over. She sent daily photos and updates, and even checked my apartment for water leaks during heavy rain, which gave me so much peace of mind. Within a few days, Littles was curled up in Ana’s lap enjoying all the pets. When I got home, he was relaxed, eating well, and clearly had been well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking Ana again for my September trip and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable pet sitter.”
About: Hi there! I'm a huge animal lover and would love to help care for your pets! I have two large dogs of my own, and have fostered dogs/puppies in the past. I also have experience with other animals (horses, chickens, and other farm animals) so I'm happy to care for any other animals you may have. I always send frequent updates and pics of your animals as I care for them, and promise to treat them as if they were my own! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to the care of your pets! I'm available weekends and weekdays, and am happy to make morning, afternoon, and/or evening visits. When watching pets in your home, they will have my full attention. I have experience caring for pets with specific medical needs, and can assure that I will thoroughly follow directions for any complex needs your pet may require. I always take the time to ensure that your pet is happy, safe, and has the time to play and get some energy out. And lastly, I promise to be extremely respectful of your space and home!
About: As a devoted dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pets. My own dog, Jack, is a big, lovable shepherd mix, so I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and dogs with big personalities! I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, attention, and plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore, and enjoy life. I understand the importance of maintaining familiar routines, whether that means regular walks, mealtimes, playtime, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while their people are away. I’m mature, responsible, attentive to detail, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll treat your pets with the same kindness, respect, and affection I give my own, and I’ll happily keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to accommodate pet care throughout the week. As a dog mom myself, daily walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection are already part of my routine! I enjoy spending time outdoors and would love to make caring for your pets part of my day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’m attentive to individual personalities, routines, and special instructions, and I believe in creating a calm, loving environment. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your established routines, and make sure your furry family members receive plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands!
“Ines did drop in visits with our new adult dog, Ducky, who was working on potty training. And also our other dog, Fievel. She followed the instructions on how to take both of our dogs out to potty in a way that was safe for the two of them! She gave detailed follow ups after each drop in”

Once again Jennifer and her little assistant were awesome taking care of Madeleine, the kitty. They played with her and kept her occupied at every visit and even got her to eat her food (which is very hard to do). You will have the very best sitter when you use Jennifer and I will always go to her first for my animal sitting needs. I give her 10 plus stars!!!!!
Kristen is wonderful!! Communicates clearly, quick to respond, dependable. She doesn't just take our puppy outside to potty, but instead goes the extra mile to play with him so he can get energy out while we're at work. I can't say enough positive things about her-- she's great!
This was my first time leaving my cat with a service and was somewhat nervous going in, but Megan a Nicole quickly put me at ease. I got a pic every day and they took great care of my baby! I will absolutely book them again and would recommend to anyone with a special cat who needs the best

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mountain Home is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,528 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mountain Home. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mountain Home. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
