“Miriam was so great with our dog. She sent us the cutest update photos that showed how much love and attention she was receiving. She also brought in some of our packages for us and was very communicative. We will definitely book her again.”
“Alexis was fabulous! She took care of my cat Alfred over a weekend while I was away, feeding him and changing his water, and made sure to send me plenty of pictures of him enjoying himself! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Lisa is so sweet and responsive! She was able to easily navigate getting into our apartment, which can be a bit complicated. I so appreciate that she sent numerous photos from the visit. Hazel seemed much happier for having gotten to play with Lisa while we were away.”
“Forrest and I are so happy to have had Trina drop in and spend time with him. She is a remarkable caregiver and her affection for dogs is undeniable. I did not have to worry about her professionalism (she kept to the scheduled appointment, showed up on time, did not leave the place in a mess, and appropriately engaged with my dog based on his interest and energy level). It’s hard to find someone who can connect with dogs as well as she does and we are excited to have her to sit for us again.”
“This is my first time having Shannon do a drop in visit for my dog. There was a hiccup during our first appointment but I’ve decided to still go ahead and meet her. I’m glad I did! She went above and beyond in taking care of my dog. She also sends detailed report after her drop in visits. I highly recommend her.”
“Shannon took great care of my puppy Pekoe. I didnt want to change her crating routine too fast too soon with returning to work. She gives great detailed updates and goes above and beyond with expectations.”
“Meg is great. She came over to meet the boys prior to scheduled drop ins and listened to me ramble on about the last minute trip that had me suddenly in need of care. Seeing my cats emerge from their hiding places to examine her put my anxiety at ease and I really appreciated the extra time she invested in a meet and greet. Meg posted daily updates with photos that made me smile as I could see my cats were doing well and the house, still standing. If you're looking for someone with good energy to come into your home, it's Meg. Thanks Meg! Sending you cat blinks from Hercules and Yesterday!”
“Anahita took excellent care of our cat, while we were away. She was punctual, professional, and very responsive, and her kindness toward our cat gave me complete peace of mind. Seeing photos of Ms. Moushi happily lounging and cuddling with her was so reassuring. We’ll absolutely be using her help again.”
“Anastacia was amazing with my two cats! They’re pretty shy with new people but they seemed to take to her right away. She was very responsive and asked about specific care details, which made me feel like she really cares. I feel confident my cats were happy with her, and will happily book her again for my next trip.”
“Cordigen D always is super flexible and is able to come at specific times to make sure my cat is in the house. She’s kind and my cat clearly loves her. I always get her when I travel. She’s the best.”
“Rachel is an amazing pet sitter! I never had to worry about my cats as I knew she was taking care of them. She was always on time, replied to my messages and gave great updates. I came home to two happy cats!”
“Lisa is a fantastic cat sitter. She went above and beyond - monitoring my elderly cat's health, cleaning up after her, and showing real concern for her. Lisa also sent a video from every visit. It made me feel sure that my cat was safe and sound while I was away.”
“Jiwon is very kind and communicative, and I felt that my cat was in good hands with her. She gave concise and thoughtful updates each visit and has a genuine love of animals :-).”
“Ghazaal is amazing. Our cat is usually very shy with strangers, but she felt completely comfortable with Ghazaal since the first day. Ghazaal is very responsible and kept us updated about everything, also she took amazing pictures of our cat. When we travel again we will look for her again ♥ Thank you! :)”
About: Hi, I'm Jamie! I've had up to 4 years of professional dog and catsitting experience and have established great relationships with a few recurring families. I've also grown up around dogs for my entire upbringing and am used to their behaviors, mannerisms, and how to handle them. I've had years of experience as a nanny as well, so I'm well equipped to care for both humans and animals, and how much attentiveness it requires. I have experience with different breeds as well as dogs with different temperaments. (Some with higher energy levels and some more timid and anxious.) I love dogs of all kinds and the playful energy they bring into my life. I consider myself to be a punctual, kind, and responsible individual. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to squeeze in the time necessary to care for animals. And since I love animals and the outdoor time, caring for them is an easy way to make sure I get to do both of those! I look out for behaviors that indicate when they might be feeling ill, or when they're needing to go outside to use the bathroom. I'll generally know when persistent barking or pawing indicates their hungry, or in need of potty or playtime. Given that I've grown up with dogs, I'm very used to scanning the environment for any potential crumbs or items they might find on the floor and am always checking to make sure doors are shut to prevent wandering.
“Sara was so awesome! She was friendly, responsible, and an animal lover. Every time she sends us a report on the cat’s condition and It made us feel comfortable leaving him in her care. We were very satisfied with her service. We will definitely book Sara next time.”
“Savanna was amazing! She is so responsive and jumped in to take care of Charlie when I was in a pinch. She sent really cute photos and videos and Charlie looked so happy. We will definitely have her again. Very kind and trustworthy. Took care of Charlie perfectly. Thanks!”
“Caroline was so easy to communicate with throughout, helping set my mind at ease that my three cats were getting the care I had hoped for. She provided a lovely little summary and photos each day, allowing me to get a glimpse of how my furbabies were doing. She regularly administered medication to my one cat who has a digestive issues. She kept me updated when she vomited (an occasional issue) and cleaned it up. She followed my requests around opening a few windows during her visits, refilling a humidifier regularly for my one cat’s asthma or plugging in the AC the night before a hot day. I appreciated knowing my cats had such a reliable caring person to check in on them, play with them, give them the attention they wanted, and provide food and water. I would absolutely have Caroline care for my cats again!”
“Rrrran was amazing! She went above and beyond when looking after my two cats. She made sure their space was tidy and provided very detailed reports and lots of photos! Highly recommend booking Rrrran.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Los Altos Hills
Jordan was outstanding. 10/10 would book with her again. She treated our cat Juniper like her own and was so thoughtful about sharing updates and taking pictures. Little Junebug was happy as a clam when we got back from our trip, her coat was shiny, and her eyes clear. And that is saying a lot since other times we have left her with cat sitters we've returned to find her scrawny and overgroomed from stress. Thank you, Jordan!!!
Xiaomeng did such an amazing job with my cat Barnie! She was so meticulous about making sure he was eating and going to the bathroom enough, and always spent extra time playing with him. She also always uploaded so many sweet photos of him!!! This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience thanks to her :)
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She took amazing care of Fuji and sent detailed updates after every visit, along with 40+ photos each time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She paid close attention to his eating, litter box, energy level, and even noticed little things like the condition of his cat grass. It was obvious she genuinely cared for him, spending quality time playing, cuddling, and making sure he was happy. I came home to a healthy, relaxed cat, and I would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!
Kenzi was amazing with our cat! She was very communicative and detailed in every Rover report card, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our cat can be very aggressive with strangers and has even attacked previous nannies, but Kenzi was incredibly patient with her and also creative in distracting her while she cleaned the litter and took care of everything. By the end, our cat was trusting her enough to let her pet her sometimes, which is a HUGE deal! Kenzi was also punctual, respectful, and followed all our instructions perfectly. We will definitely book her again for future trips!
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!
Kathrine checked in on our cat, Hadoop, twice a day reliably. She has great communication, is very friendly, and made my older cat feel comfortable right away. She was able to give him his pills no problem and I appreciate that she asked when she had a question. Would definitely recommended her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Los Altos Hills on Rover is $55.5 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 10,190 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Los Altos Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Los Altos Hills stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
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.
