About: My family has relied on me to take care of their pets, especially when they need to travel. I helped take care of my son's french poodle for 14 years. I consider myself very healthy, and active, and I like to stay busy. I very much enjoy the outdoors. I live in an apartment, very near ground level. The view from my apartment is beautiful and perfect to walk doggies. I live alone, therefore your pet would receive my undivided attention. Please note, my English is basic, and the easiest form of communication with me is written communication. I am a native Spanish speaker. However, if you speak slowly, we can understand each other =) Most importantly, know that your pet will be well taken care of. I leave the house about twice a week for short periods just to run errands and visit family nearby, but for the most part I am at home. I live in an apartment near ground level, there are just a few steps. Area is very safe. I will maintain your pet on a leash when outdoors for his/her safety .
“Maryann was great! She was super attentive to our pets and treated them so well. She communicated with us throughout the weekend. We will definitely like to work with her again.”
“Beth is fabulous! Took great care of my special-needs guy, keeping in great contact with us and allowing me to feel confident while we were away that he was being taken great care of!”
“Brooke is FANTASTIC! I this is my first solo ROVER AND I AM THRILLED! I loved getting the daily photos and updates. My boy is older and not used to being without his family at all. Brooke was so kind and made me feel so much better! Thank you Brooke!!”
“Nelly was fantastic and took great care of my two dogs while I was away on vacation! Great communication -Nelly reached out the day she was to arrive to confirm the start time and the day I was returning to confirm when I’d be getting home. She also provided updates while I was away. The dogs definitely enjoyed her because they looked for her in the guest room for the next few days wondering where she was.”
About: My name is Hoslan and I’ve been dog sitting/walking for almost 2 years. I have 4 of my own dogs and love them like they my own kids, when it comes to meet dogs they just love me, they’ll bark at first because they don’t know me but after showing them I’m friendly and give them love I’ll be your best dog sitter and everytime they see me theyll be excited! I work from home, and I just be on my computer in the mornings, but after I’m done I have so much time to walk dogs, play with them, take them out to potty or anything! I have a fenced in yard, I live close by a park, and I have 4 friendly pups that will play with your pup, here in my household we all love dogs so they’ll get treated like they one of ours
“Raquel was great! She sent frequent updates and photos of both our pets throughout our weekend trip. She came over to meet them before hand and made sure to spend time meeting our puppy and our cat. We will definitely be booking her again in the future :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life I’ve had dogs since I was a little kid I have a westie and a black mouth mountain kurr lab mix 😊 I love Animals I’ve taken care of many different kinds of animals from farms to house cats. I’m currently part time in radiology school and have time for part time jobs or a full time job to make sure I’m still very social and getting my daily exercise ! I have a very nice neighborhood I can take walks in and know every street inside I love getting fresh air and getting exercise and socializing with animals :)
“Darlin yet again did an amazing job. The girls absolutely love her and she helped assuage any worries by keeping us informed on their status each day. She does a fantastic job keeping the house in good shape while she is here as well. Absolutely recommended, don't hesitate to book, you won't regret it.”
“Desi was absolutely perfect house sitting my two (crazy) boxers. She sent us frequent updates and kept this (also crazy) dog mom feeling totally at ease during the Thanksgiving holiday. She went above and beyond in every sense. I would recommend Desi to absolutely anyone and intend to book her again in the future.”
“My husband and I were in town for a wedding and needed very, very last minute care for our dog. I downloaded the Rover app and requested house sitting from Sher and she promptly responded. She was timely, communicative, and so loving with our senior doggie! We received multiple photos and updates throughout the night. We came back to a calm, happy pup. We are so grateful that she was able to help us in a pinch!! Highly recommend!”
“Laila was incredible! My boys had the best time with her. They went on so many walks, had so much play time, and received an abundance of attention. Both of them pull quite a bit on their walks, and she got them to relax and enjoy the scenery! Not only that, she managed to tire my super energetic 6 y/o out (which is basically impossible) Laila sent a bunch of pictures & videos & remained extremely responsive the entire time. If I could leave her more than 5 stars, I would!”
“Erin gives our finicky lab the best treatment! We are so grateful for her help when we need to travel and highly trust her. You can rest assured your pet will be taken well care of.”
“We absolutely love Kiana! She has taken care of Hazel and Apollo for us several times, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they’re with her. She is so kind, dependable, and attentive, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about them. Our dogs are happy and comfortable with her, which means everything to us. Just as importantly, Kiana takes wonderful care of our home while we’re away. We never have to worry about a thing. We come home to happy dogs and a clean, well-cared-for house, which makes traveling so much easier. It’s a great feeling to have someone we trust completely with both our dogs and our home. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Kiana and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly caring and trustworthy.”
About: Hey there! I have experience with all kinds of animals. I’ve fostered big dogs, worked with horses in equine assisted therapy, and have pet-sitted cats as well as currently have my own two cats. I love walking and am always looking to get my steps in. My two cats are harnessed trained and enjoy going on walks. I am currently looking for a full-time job and have a part-time from 2-6 pm every weekday. This allows me to be flexible and to drop by in the morning or in the evening. I am very observant and careful when dog walking. I am always on the lookout for possible dog stressors like cars, people, or other dogs. I am very respectful of any home I am in. Our pets have mental health problems just like us and I strive to create a calming and enjoyable environment for all furry friends.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for large dogs, such as Labs and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller breeds like Pomeranians, Pugs, and mixed breeds. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special dietary needs or medications. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am currently studying online, which allows me to work from almost anywhere. I love going on walks, especially after a meal, and having a furry companion makes them even better! My flexible lifestyle allows me to make time for your pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I love being able to incorporate pet care into my day while making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for. I provide pet care in the comfort of your own home, whether through drop-in visits, dog walking, or other care your pet may need. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My family has always taught me to leave a place better than I found it, and I carry that value with me in everything I do. I will treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I also understand that I’m not just caring for a pet; I’m caring for a beloved member of your family. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, attentive hands and is being looked after in the familiar environment you’ve trusted me with. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.
“I absolutely could not be happier! Frances and her family were amazing. They cared for Milkbone like he was a part of their family. ❤️ It was so comforting knowing he was in good hands. I will absolutely contact Frances again for all future needs.”
“Kimberly stayed with our puppy for the first time we had to leave him and brought us such peace of mind! So many photos, videos and updates for the 3 nights we were gone. She was wonderful!”
“Rachel was so wonderful and patient with our four pups and gave so many updates! We were so anxious about leaving them for the first time and she immediately put as at ease. Rachel is the best!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Mountville is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $44 per night.

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 Mountville 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 Mountville 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 Mountville 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 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.
