About: Since I was a little girl, I have always had a love for animals. I've cared for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and a mini pig. A plus for me is that I have been a foster for Animal Rescue of Tracy for 10+ years now, so I have experience with all sorts of dogs and cats, from those who need special medication to rambunctious dogs to newborn kittens. There is no animal you can give me that I will not love, pet, cuddle, and care for. I am a responsible 25 year old who has been caring for animals my whole life. This is my first Rover account, but I have been pet sitting in the Tracy community for 10 years. I live on 1.5 acres with 25 + animals, so I am very experienced and would love to help out with your furry friends! :) I'm currently working part-time with the majority of my work being remote so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets. I live on 1.5 acres of property so your dogs will have plenty of space to run around, play, and relieve themselves. Depending on your dog's friendliness, they can remain inside with my two small dogs, or I can keep them in our supervised dog run area just for them. If you have cats, they will be contained in their own area in my house so that they do not run and hide, as new environments tend to cause anxiety. If house sitting, I make the animals feel as comfortable as possible to ease any stress of their owners being away. Pets & play are always guaranteed. I also send pictures everyday & when asked! My routine is simple: follow your directions on feeding, walking, medication if needed, and I will handle the other most important part: giving them lots of love!
“Emily is amazing! Shes a great communicator and took good care of Pretzel and Coco. They both loved her! She made sure that pretzel wasn’t licking his stitches and gave him his medication on time. She’s followed introductions and went above in beyond for pretzels care. Thank you Emily! 😊”
About: I love teaching dogs new tricks, especially puppies. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and ages. I also love a good coffee run so pup cup anyone? I am currently a college student as well as a part time teacher. Watching after your dogs fits perfectly into my evening and weekend routines. I am a clean freak, so all messes will always be clean before you come home. I also ensure communication with all pet parents on the well being of their fur baby.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover who understands that pets are family. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic medications if instructed, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I will treat your pets like they’re my own by keeping them safe, following their routines, and sending regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can also provide puppy care, senior pet care, multiple daily walks, playtime, and overnight care. Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for pets belonging to family and friends. I’m responsible, patient, and committed to making every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I am a full time college student however I have a flexible schedule and am available most days to care for your pets. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesdays from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM and Thursdays from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feedings, playtime, and overnight house sitting. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide dependable, consistent care. I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. I’m unable to board pets in my own home. I always treat every home with respect, carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I really Like and Trust Marci. She listened to me and walked my dogs the way I suggested and sent me pictures of the dogs on the walk. She asked me all the right questions and the dogs really liked her, This was the first time I used Rover.com and I would highly recommend Marci to watch and walk your dogs as well.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, and have been around dogs since I was 6. I am able to provide senior pet care, tend to anxious animals, and I care about the animal’s comfort, safety, and peace of mind. I currently work a part-time job, with an unfixed schedule, so I am willing to do pet work outside of work hours as best I can, whenever I have time outside of work. In client’s homes, I am able to work with any schedule your dog needs, (medication, outside time, walks, etc.) I make sure pets feel comfortable and I am not a stranger to them. They are supervised and given all of the outside access they need for potty breaks, and they are being fed on time and well handled with care.
About: I have been taking care of pets for a large part of my life! Starting with my family pets, I learned how to care for dogs and then I shifted to my grandparents to learn how to medically assist dogs. They own a dog kennel where I was taught how to give medications to puppies and smaller dogs. I followed schedules to care for dogs also recovering from surgeries! I have also helped my brother with his german shepherd. She needed a lot of attention and a stronger handling because she was just a puppy, and didn’t know how to safely socialize with the other pups. I am occupied as a college student for the year of 2025, but my weekends are pretty clear. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are extremely malleable and manageable for me to spend time taking care of your furry families! Please let me know if you would like to negotiate other times of the week! My own dogs are free feeding, so the schedule that your pets require would need to be shared. I can take care of medications, and dogs that need baths and brushing. As I am offering overnight care, I am comfortable with them sleeping with me or in their crates! Anything else that is needed should be requested and I will let you know I can implement it.
About: Hey there, I'm Katherine! I am a local photographer looking to make some extra income and meet some great furry friends. I am currently accepting bookings for all types of puppies and dogs. I have owned and cared for a variety of pups, such as Labradors, Chihuahuas, Great Danes, and more for the past fifteen years. I have self-trained all of my animals from potty training to new tricks.
About: Hi! My name is Carly and I’m a reliable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like family. I have 9 years of experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, and lots of attention and cuddles. I have three dogs of my own, 2 labs and a beagle! Safe to say I love every dog! You can trust that your pet is in good hands I’m currently working a part time job sometimes just office work, and then work days on weekends. But I’m available a majority of the time and what works best for most people! I provide a safe, loving environment with great supervision, regular walks, playtime, feeding, updates for owners, and personalized care to keep pets comfortable and happy!
“Bella did an amazing job watching our two dogs Bruno and Yeti for a couple days. She is super friendly, left our house very clean, and dogs so happy! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for someone very trustworthy.”
About: I have owned and taken care of pets for many years. I currently have a dog that I personally take care of. I feed her, walk her, bathe her, take her outside, play with her, etc. I am a full time student and I prioritize my studies, but I look at dog walking as a fun takeaway from the responsibilities of school and I look forwards to walking my own dog everyday. I care deeply for animals and cater to their specific needs. Pets require lots of care and I am willing to do whatever they need.
“So great! We were able to relax while we were away knowing the dogs were being taken care of! We also really appreciated Sarah’s updates and patience with our younger pup who can be a handful.”
About: Dogs have been an important part of my life since I got a Border Collie at age 10. Even before then I would look forward to taking care of neighbor's pets to save money to buy a dog. Ever since I got my first cat 10+ years ago they have also become an essential part of my life. I have a corgi (with a tail) named Tina and a white/gray cat named Thin Mint that I befriended as a stray. My love of animals ensures that your pet will get all the love and attention they need when in my care I have a flexible work and childcare schedule so I can adapt to meet your needs regardless of the situation. I can make time in my weekday schedule for routine check in or be available for a weekend vacation I have a car and flexible schedule and can come to your house whenever is needed. I can exercise your pet, clean their poop, feed, and love them
“We are really excited to have found Daniella. She is very reliable and competent. She did everything we needed plus some. She took care of our 3 dogs and our horse. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. Our dogs are my babies and it makes me anxious to leave them but I could tell in the pictures they were enjoying themselves and happy so I could relax and enjoy myself. We will definitely use Daniella again.”
About: I’ve grown up with many different animals, including dogs, cats, snakes, and fish. I am currently living with two dogs and I adore them so much! I currently am working part-time Sunday through Thursday, and can commit to morning/afternoon check-in (before noon) as well as night time check-ins (after 5 pm). I will ensure your fur baby is well fed and taken care of! I will also make sure they have someone to play with while you’re away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain House
This was the first time "Benson" had spent the night away from us in 10yrs. I was nervous and worried, but Carrie did everything to make us comfortable as well as Benson. With Benson being blind, she followed our program and did everything that Benson needed! We'd like to give a big thanks to Carrie, and Rover. If we ever need help again, we know where to find it! Thank you again Carrie! We appreciate you, your time, and your help!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mountain House
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mountain House on Rover is $50 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 2,896 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mountain House. 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 House 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 House 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 House 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 with handling special pet needs in Mountain House. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
