“Awesome sitter. Christy took awesome care of our fur babies. They loved her. She communicated very well and kept our pets safe and took them out to potty and play out back in our yard. She sent us pictures and kept us well informed of everything going on back home. She was very tidy around the house and she was a nice lady. We recommend her and will use her again.”
“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!”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I grew up surrounded by dogs and spent much of my childhood helping my grandmother on her farm, caring for horses, goats, llamas, and plenty of other animals along the way. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently have two very loved cats of my own! I’m currently in graduate school for speech-language pathology, and my husband, Tim, and I would love to help care for your furry family members! We offer pet sitting in your home, drop-in visits, and boarding in ours. While my schedule varies with classes and clinical placements on some weekdays, Tim works from home and can help provide plenty of company, attention, and care for pets staying with us. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and routine. I’ll also gladly send pictures and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and well cared for! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! I’m currently a graduate student studying speech-language pathology, so my daytimes are usually booked Tuesday through Thursday but am otherwise available! Fortunately as well, my husband, Tim, works from home, which gives us plenty of flexibility when caring for pets staying with us! Between the two of us, we’re able to provide lots of companionship, attention, and opportunities for walks, playtime, and relaxation throughout the day. I’m also available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting around my school schedule, including evenings and weekends when available. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs and routine fit comfortably into our schedule. Our goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away! My husband and I live in a cozy three-bedroom home surrounded by beautiful woods and plenty of space to explore! Our home offers a peaceful, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of love and attention. We have two cats of our own, so we ask that pets staying with us be comfortable around cats. Although our property isn’t fenced, we have lots of lovely wooded areas nearby for supervised, leashed walks and outdoor adventures! Safety is always a priority, and pets will never be allowed to roam freely outdoors. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and do my best to maintain their familiar routines so they feel comfortable and secure. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own!
“Alyssa was the perfect fit for our senior girl! She was so detailed and considerate of Bella’s medical needs and we loved getting picture updates while we were traveling. She left the house in great condition and we look forward to booking with her again!”
About: I have a husky/ retriever mix named Ice. She’ is 3 years old. I also have a cat named Heidi that is 5 years old. If you’d like I can take your dog on walks, to the dog park, and on bike rides seasonally. The jetski rides are just for Ice though 😜 My hope is to eventually fill my schedule completely with pet care for when I don’t have clients scheduled for personal training at a gym. Due to living in a small apartment and having both a dog and cat I won’t be doing pet sitting out of my own home. But I’d be happy to watch pets at client’s home or at the dog park if the client prefers.
About: I have taken care of and been a dog owner and lover my entire life!! Please let me be your pets BFF. They will be so glad to get to stay home and have a new buddy instead of having to go to boarder or be stressed! I am a mom and I am a full-time student at ETSU. Most of my work is remote and I can pet sit in between classes and in evenings. I would love to do this and enjoy it all! I have Saturdays open for in-home overnight care as well. I was a long time foster parent of children (and a mom to 7!) and a lifetime pet person. I would love to be your pets new BFF and give them love in-home so they don't have to be stressed by boarding and other scenarios.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 257 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roan Mountain. 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 Roan Mountain 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 Roan Mountain 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 Roan Mountain 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.
