“Natalie was amazing with our dogs. Both dogs loved spending time with her. We could tell with every photo she sent how happy they were. Even our most stand offish pup cuddled on the bed with her. That is always a great sign!”
“Eliza is a show stopper when it comes to pet sitting! We needed someone to watch our 3 fur babies while we were out of country and have always been very careful with who we select. Our dogs who are sometimes shy took to her almost right away and loved their initial walks with her. She was extremely thorough in her questions about the dogs, emergency contacts, etc and had great communication while we were gone as well. It really helped knowing they were in amazing hands. When we returned she had even kept up with watering our plants and washed all the linens she used! We would recommend Eliza to any and everyone.”
“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”
“Patricia did an amazing job caring for our pets while we were away! We have three cats and one dog, and our dog had to wear a cone for medical reasons during our six-day trip, so we were understandably a little nervous. She stayed at our home and took excellent care of both our pets and the house. Her communication was outstanding - she sent regular photo updates and always let us know if she needed to leave the house, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We were completely comfortable with the pets being alone for up to eight hours, but we really appreciated that she kept us informed anyway. It was clear our pets were happy and well cared for, and we came home to relaxed, happy animals and a clean house. This was our first time booking with her, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Lilliana and how well she takes care of my pup. This is my second in-house booking with her, and definitely won’t be the last. I received lots of updates and pictures from her, and she followed all of my notes about medications, food, walks, etc. I have an Aussie who is super sweet but also very reactive, and she managed all of his quirks without any problems. She also went above and beyond to leave my house in excellent condition. I would recommend her to any of my friends looking for a pup sitter in a heartbeat (as long as they don’t try to book her when I need her to take care of my pup!). In all seriousness, Lilliana will take great care of your fur babies and I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: My experience involves pet sitting and house sitting for 5 households, totaling about 10 cats and dogs. My sister has several years of vet tech experience and has given me some tips along the way. I have practice with giving pets medications and catering to their special dietary needs. Each and every pet I’ve had the privilege of spending time with has a special place in my heart. I would be grateful to care for your wonderful pets before returning to the University of Oregon in the Fall. I’m in need of work this summer before returning to my psychology degree studies and volunteer research lab assistant position. I have trips planned this summer and otherwise my routine is very flexible! I always try to meet pets’ usual routines! I am used to cleaning litter twice daily, feeding 2-3 times daily, scooping poop, cleaning and filling water dishes/fountains, cleaning up pet accidents, and of course, giving my love and attention and sending pictures to owners.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for as long as I can remember and have 4 years of hands-on experience volunteering 4 days a week at the Southern Oregon Humane Society, working with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and animals with different temperaments. I’m patient, reliable, attentive, and truly passionate about providing safe, loving care for every pet. I work evenings, usually starting at 4 PM, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends before 4 PM. House-sitting schedules can be discussed, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs while respecting your home and routines. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to creating a calm, safe environment for every pet in my care.
About: I have been around animals, both dogs and cats, for most of my life, so I know what goes into taking care of them (even the ones who need a little extra help). I am currently freelance and remote, so I am able to change my schedule around to suite the needs of both you and your pet. I am able to travel to your home either overnight or for drop-in care whenever needed. I will follow all set rules about whatever space I use to a T.
“Kathleen is an amazing dog/house sitter. She did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs while we were on our honeymoon. She sent us pictures and let us know how things were going. We felt safe leaving our fur babies with Kathleen and will definitely use her again.”
“Abigail was absolutely fantastic watching our dog Sadie! She was communicative, gentle, kind, and treated our pup with the same love we do. Abigail sent regular updates and photos, which let us know Sadie was in great hands and loving life! We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone needing a sitter and will definitely be reaching out for any future needs!”
“Alyssa is very committed to doing a great job. She is knowledgeable and can naturally anticipate our puppy’s needs - i.e. walking, exercise, play time, training, brushing for knots. She is an outstanding communicator, sends pictures and updates 2x per day. She kept the house organized and clean. We knew Henry was relaxed and confident as he was sleeping on her lap at the end of each day. We strongly endorse Alyssa for your pet sitting needs.”
About: The first and only thing I ever begged my parents for was my very own dog... I didn't care how big/small, young/old it was but I knew it would be my best friend. I got my very own dog when I was 11 years old for Christmas and now, almost 17 years later I could never imagine life without dogs in it. Our only pet is our puppy Georgia who is a 5 month old Lab/Pit mix and we adore her so much! She is great with other dogs and loves all people. Aside from my love of dogs (and all animals) I am Certified as a Dog Trainer and also Certified as a Veterinary Assistant, which means I am also capable of administering medication while you are away. I am home just about 24/7 so any dog that stays with me will never be left alone. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you, thank you! -Megan R.
“Marie was amazing!!! I am such a helicopter fur mama but I was quickly assured they were in great hands. Thorough communication, lovely updates, and my pups + kitty were as happy as can be when I came home. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much Marie! 🙌 Moose, Evie, & Mazzy miss you already! ☺️🐾”
“Ryleigh was great! Provided the amount of updates/photos we had discussed and let us know when she had for run out for a bit and when she would return. I can tell from photos our Golden loved her and she left the house as clean as we left it. Will be asking Ryleigh to watch our guy again 🐶”
“Madison is incredible! At a pre-trip check in, Madison took detailed notes of our pup’s schedule and preferences and got everything down perfectly. She got along so well with our dog, and her updates were great. We had an awesome trip knowing that our pup was in great hands and would 100% recommend Madison to everyone.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Mountaindale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,507 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mountaindale. 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 Mountaindale 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 Mountaindale 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 Mountaindale 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.

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.
