“I just can’t see enough good things about Christie, but I’ll try. She took such good care of my 17-year-old, sickly pup. She went above and beyond. She washed bedding and rugs. She hand fed my puppy, and she even folded my laundry. I was five hours away and there’s nothing I could do, but I didn’t have to worry because I knew that Christy was taking good care of her.”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover who has always shared my home with furry family members. Because dogs have been a constant part of my life, I truly understand their unique personalities and daily needs. I am deeply passionate about keeping dogs safe, happy & comfortable while their owners are away. I have many family members and friends who have relied on me to care for their furry family. I consider my dogs my own children and would treat any animal with the same regard! Pet care is my job! My routine is often shaped around the schedules & needs of my pets or clients' pets, and I like it that way! I care for my pets in my own home and treat every client's home like I would my own. I'm passionate about keeping pets comfortable during their stay, so I adapt to their environment and respect their space.
About: I have been exposed to animals for the entirety of my life, my family has always fostered cats and has had dogs in the house. I have handled dogs of all sizes and all energy levels, from puppy to seniors and herding dogs to couch-potatos. I’m currently available for part-time drop ins, or overnight weekend stays. I am a college student so I have availability sporadically throughout the day, early morning, or late night. I am open to any setup to care for pets, and will diligently follow any instructions given for the specific animal. I am a college student so I am only available to go to clients homes rather than bring animals to me.
About: I love animals. I have two cat, and had a dog in my 20s before she passed away. I love to walk, play and cuddle with all pets. I have pretty open availability. I have experience giving cats and dogs medicine, so I know how tricky it can be, but I will make sure they get it down. My aunt has a dog rescue, so if I ever have any questions I have a great person to turn too, as she is currently caring for over 50 dogs, and working on getting a no kill animal shelter built. I am available all day Monday-Friday. If I have one days notice I can accommodate most requests! I also am available to be a weekly walker. I have two kitties, both around 2 years old. My previous cat was a senior cat, that requires a lot of love and attention.. he had several medicines he had to take that I gave him orally.
“Thankful Desirae could stay with our two dogs and our cat while my husband and I had a quick weekend away. She sent lots of photos, and I could tell the animals enjoyed her company. We already have Desirae booked for a longer stay when we go on vacation in a few weeks!”
About: I have taken care of different types of dogs for over 5 years. I usually dog sit for family and friends, but am a dog lover and wanted to branch out on Rover:) I’m currently working part time at a daycare so I will be able to have time to play with your pups, take them on long walks, and give them that enrichment they need! I go to the clients home and do as I am told! I believe that safety and trust are the top priorities for the dog and myself.
“Our dog felt safe and loved thanks to Jeanie's patience and care, making a stressful few days completely worry-free. We have a very nervous, "delicate" little dog, and we were worried how she would do with a sitter she didnt really know, but Jeanie did a really great job! She was incredibly attentive to Lucy's needs, taking the time to understand her anxieties. Her communication was excellent, she sent regular updates and photos that was reassuring every step of the way. It was clear that she has a genuine love and understanding for animals, and she went above and beyond to make sure lucy was happy and secure. We cannot recommend Jeanie more highly, she is professional, kind and dedicated. If you're looking for someone to treat your pet like family, Jeanie is the perfect choice!”

“We were very happy with Kylene services. She stayed in our home while we were away but left everything nice and tidy when she left. Our dog Daisy is an easy dog to take care of, but she asked lots of questions to make sure Daisy was getting the care we wanted for her. Kylene was also very responsive in responding to any questions we had and was very easy to work with. We would definitely use her again if the need arises! Thank you Kylene”
“Hailey was exceptional!! She was on time, communicative, and extremely respectful. She sent me updates and pictures of my fur baby. I definitely would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, learning firsthand what it takes to give animals the love, patience, and attention they deserve. Over the years, I’ve helped my grandma care for a household of five or more pets, often eight or more at a time! My experience includes caring for senior dogs, administering medications as needed, and helping look after dogs with diabetes and other special care requirements. I’m also a proud cat parent to Smokie and Charlie, and I look after Daisy, a friendly outdoor stray who has become part of my life. Caring for my own cats has taught me how important it is to understand each animal’s unique personality, respect their boundaries, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I’m familiar with the responsibilities that come with caring for more than one pet, including animals who need extra attention, patience, or a consistent routine. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to take the time to earn their trust and make them feel at home. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own, because I know they’re family, not just animals. ❤️ I currently have open availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, allowing me to be flexible with your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular dog walks, drop-in visits for feeding and playtime, or someone to keep your dog company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I’m building my own local pet care business, so providing dependable, attentive care and building lasting relationships with pets and their owners is my priority! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I grew up caring for cats and dogs in a multi-pet household and have experience helping with senior dogs and pets requiring medication and extra attention. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in your home. I don’t offer boarding, so your pets can remain in their familiar environment while receiving loving, attentive care. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands!
“Callie is a very pleasant person and a wonderful pet sitter-- she agreed to watch our three dogs at our home over the holiday weekend and they were well taken care of. They are an energetic and playful group, so that was no small task. She sent occasional photos of them and answered all of my questions about how they were doing in a timely manner, which I very much appreciated. When we returned home after a long drive, the house was clean and the mail was on the counter. She was easy to work with, considerate, and attentive to our pets.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain Home
As always, Allison was great. I think this was the first time she watched both my cat and dog where I hadn't separated them. Marigold is still new to the family and Marsh is learning how to play with her. Allison did a great job managing them and there were no issues. As always, she loves on my fur-children so well. Always rebooking.
Natalie was wonderful! She made being away from Bella so much easier and gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and was always very easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Bella again!
Cassandra was amazing with my anxious puppy, Kelvin! Several drop in visits were booked leading up to overnight pet sitting, and she was very patient as Kelvin warmed up to her. She kept me up to date through the overnight visit with plenty of adorable pictures and videos. I couldn't recommend her enough!
Taylor did a great job taking care of our pup and house while we were away! Good communication and frequent updates. On the days Taylor had work she stopped by several times to let Frankie outside. I wish she could’ve spent a little more quality time with her but understand Rover isn’t her full time job. We would happily hire her again for weekend housesitting or drop-in visits!
Olivia was fantastic with our babies ensuring that medications were promptly administered to each of our babies. She slept with them each night and made sure they received tons of love and attention while we were on an out of state bowling trip. We would love to hire her all the time to watch our babies, as they loved her too! She sent us pictures without us even having to ask too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mountain Home is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $60 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 204 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 , 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.
