“We have hired many sitters from Rover over the years but Allison was absolutely the best! Wow! Our cat loved her so much, she sent fun photos every day, and kept us updated on how things were going at home. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve never known life without a pet until a few years ago, and every opportunity I can to love on and care for an animal is one I take with joy. I’ve cared for excitable dogs and managed reactive ones, so any energy your pet brings is one I will look forward to getting to know. I work from 7-4 weekdays, so I’m flexible to support with an evening walk or to take care of a lower maintenance pet on weekdays. Weekends I’m available for walks or house sitting as needed. I’m happy to foster the environment that supports your pet best! I’ve experience with highly playful pets, as well as pets who need attention. I will give your pet the most attention and care I can.
“Kimberly was sweet with our elderly kitty and careful about giving the daily medication. She was also communicative and took great care to keep our home secure and tidy. We will definitely book her again. Thank you, Kimberly, for giving our Girl good care and us peace of mind while we were away!”
“John was so kind and attentive with Max everyday during his stay. He was absolutely flexible adapting his apartment for Max big size and all his belongings (litter, scratchers, food containers, carrier, blankets, toys), so Max would have a less stressful stay. John was effectively communicating with us, and always willing to do his best to ensure Max will have a great time and we will know as much as possible about Max’s last updates. We are really thankful with John for taking care of Max, following his food and water routine over the heat wave, for cleaning his eyes and for sending us all the pictures and updates every day, so we will enjoy our short trip knowing Max was safe and happy. Thank you so much John, we’ll see you next time! Blessings from the 3 of us!”
“Anastacia was great with our cat Franklin and was so incredibly flexible when we had to switch some of the plans last minute. Great communication and did a great job as always! Will continue to recommend and use her services in the future ❤️.”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful!! My girls (Romy and Michele, two very felonious felines) immediately warmed up to her and she loved them as if they were her own. Natalie was exceptionally communicative, took many pictures, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed being with my girls. I will DEFINITELY be using Natalie again, and I cannot recommend her in the strongest enough terms to any cat parent!”
About: I love dogs, but can't have any of my own. I took 5 years of dog care and training classes at the 4-H club and have cared for and groomed them at every opportunity since then. I am mostly available to do dog walking and feed your pet, but I would consider overnight stays if I am needed. I can't wait to hear from you! Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I structure my days with regular walking, feeding, and check-in windows, and I’m used to building my schedule around animals’ needs rather than squeezing them in. Because I already care for my own dog and take on Rover bookings, things like timely walks, consistent routines, play, and attention are part of my normal day, not an interruption. I’m reliable with schedules and flexible enough to adjust when a pet needs a little extra time or care. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Most of my bookings are drop-in visits and walks rather than overnights. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or litter care, playtime, and light grooming as needed—making sure pets get real attention, not just a quick check-in. I’m respectful of your home and attentive to your pet’s individual needs, and I always aim to make visits feel calm, familiar, and comforting. I share thoughtful updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Molly did such an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were gone on a long vacation. She is responsible and communicative. Our apartment was just as clean as when we left. She so went above and beyond taking care of some of the strays we also watch over near our parking garage. I definitely will use her services again.”
“Elena did a terrific job of caring for our newly adopted outdoor cat. She took notes on his schedule and took the time to check his food and water twice a day. The texted pictures were reassuring. We will book her again for future trips.”
About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my family had two dogs and two cats, and today I'm a proud cat mom to two wonderful kitties. Having spent so much of my life caring for pets, I've learned that every animal has its own unique personality, preferences, and needs. I understand how to make cats feel comfortable, whether they're playful and affectionate or shy and independent. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of cuddles (if your cat enjoys them!). I'll treat your pets like my own and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I'm available for drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends, and I'm happy to accommodate your cat's feeding schedule and specific needs. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I'll always respect your cat's routine, personality, and personal space. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention. I'm also happy to send photos and updates during every visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: In January, I said goodbye to my sweet girl after 13 wonderful years together. I miss her every day, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog of my own, I have so much love and attention to share. I’d love to take your dog on walks, keep them company, and give them plenty of affection while you’re away. Having loved a dog for so many years, I understand how much they mean to you, and I’d care for yours with the kindness and attention I’d want for my own. I work full-time, but most of my evenings and weekends are free. I really miss taking dogs on walks and enjoying the company of both dogs and cats, so I’d love to spend some of that time giving your pets extra care and attention. While I’m not available for overnight care, I can pick up your dog from home for a walk and bring them back afterward—perfect for evenings when you’re working late or have a busy schedule. I can also stop by to keep your cats company and give them some extra love and attention while you’re away.
“Kristine was so wonderful when we had family in town. She was very flexible on timing and showed up exactly when she said she would. Kristine was so kind and helpful to our pups who had to get fed at dinner time. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to book her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Los Altos Hills
Xiaomeng was amazing!! She is extremely communicative, thorough, and follows care instructions well. She was very quick to respond and very caring. I would definitely book her again and you can really tell she loves cats. She has been my first booking on Rover and made me feel at ease when I was out of town. I highly recommend her!
Ran took care of my cat Boatie for a week while I was away, and she was wonderful! She followed all my instructions and spent 30 minutes each day feeding Boatie, changing her water, cleaning the litter box, and playing with her. Ran has lots of experience caring for animals, and it really shows. She sent me many sweet photos and videos every day. I also loved reading her daily notes. They were always so sweet and fun to read! Boatie quickly became friends with Ran, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Ran!
Kenzie was amazing with our cat and very attentive throughout our trip. She always took the time to look for her, check on her, and make sure she was doing well. When our cat unexpectedly got sick, Kenzie was incredibly accommodating and offered to check on her even on days she wasn’t originally scheduled to come by. She also let us know she was willing to take her to the vet if needed, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how caring, reliable, and communicative she was, and we would absolutely book her again!
We had a wonderful experience with Xiao! She's very responsible. Before her visit, she set up a video call with us to understand our needs. During the visit, she sent us several photos of our cats while she played with them, and she patiently helped us set up our automatic litter box. She even went above and beyond by watering our plants! We'll definitely book her again next time.
Jiwon is amazing! She took great care of our cat and sent lots of cute photos. She spent extra time playing with our cat and making sure she was getting some love while we were gone. She also completely handled a minor emergency (we got an ant infestation after leaving for vacation, and Jiwon got rid of it). Overall you should definitely book her for your pet sitting needs!
Michael was amazing taking care of our cat Daisy! Very easy to work with and clear communication. Went above and beyond with care, diligently checking her auto feeder despite me never asking and generally being very proactive when he would stop by. Have booked him multiple times at this point and will definitely be booking him again in the future!
Kevin did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. He was friendly and easy to communicate with. During our meet, he asked thoughtful questions about my cat’s routine and even small details like litter disposal, which really showed his experience and attention to detail. During each visit, he not only handled all the basics but also spent time playing with my cat, which I really appreciated. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with Kevin again. Highly recommended!
Lisa took great care of my two cats! One of them is very shy and the other is super playful, but Lisa made sure both felt comfortable and gave my active cat plenty of fun playtime. This isn't the first time I've hired Lisa, but it was her first time caring for both cats together, and as always, she did a fantastic job. Highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Los Altos Hills is $57 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $76 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 5,125 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Los Altos Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
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 .

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.
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.
