“Allison did a great job, and our nervous dog immediately felt comfortable with her. She was very conscientious about observing all instructions about our dog and our home, and I look forward to booking with Allison again soon!”
About: Hi, My name is Alex, it's nice to meet you. I have loved dogs my whole life. I enjoy taking care of them and the care they give back in return. Walking your dog will be as rewarding to them as it will be to me. I am a 33 year old male currently living in Mountain View. I am here to walk dogs and to do my best to care for them when I am on the job. Although I've attended a few dog training classes. Most my experience comes from being with dogs and research I've done along the way. I've been walking dogs for years now. I'll do my best to be observant, safe, and professional. My schedule is fairly open so I have the ability to be flexible with my customers.
“Miriam watched our cat while we were out of town for a week and provided excellent care. She is a great communicator and sent us pictures and notes so we were always in the loop about how kitty was doing. He was happy and content when we returned, so we know he had a good time too. We will definitely book Miriam again!”
About: I love pets of all kinds, and find it very rewarding to gain their trust and make sure they are living their best life while their owner is away! I have experience with small to medium-large dogs since childhood, and had a senior cat for the last 5 years. I am good at picking up on body language queues or behavior changes, especially in more subtle and shy pets. I have lots of experience with administering medications, including with dogs suspicious of pill wrap and cats who have figured out all nicer methods besides the pill gun/liquid syringe. I occasionally travel for contract work, but keep my calendar religiously up-to-date and have plenty of daytime/evening availability! The more time in advance I get, the more likely I can plan around your pet's needs and ensure availability. I make sure to ask the important questions upfront so to minimally disturb your time away! I also have a sixth sense for when pets get into things they aren't supposed to, and if house-sitting am attuned to their (& your belongings' lol) safety!
About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover since childhood. My first cat was basically my partner in crime—we trained for “missions” like opening doors and sneaking in through the balcony window. She trusted me so much she even chose my bedside to deliver her kittens! We ate together, played together, and yes… even napped in identical positions. Since then, every pet in my life has been fed, brushed, bathed, cuddled, and played with until they joyfully passed out like little furry pancakes. Loving animals is simply who I am. Now I’d love to share that same warmth, humor, and big-hearted care with your furry baby. I have a part time job and can watch your pet. On weekends have I can fully devoted my time to your pet and play I live near a dog park nearby we can spend time there or walk around the neighborhood. Also, my kids and I can play together
About: Hi, my name is Amara. I have taken care of dogs for most of my life, including our family dogs since high school. I took over the care of my sister's dog after she had twins, until his passing at nearly 19 years. I am familiar with senior dogs and administering medications. I believe that our dogs are family members and will treat your pet with the best possible care and attention. I can provide round the clock care on most days to maintain your dog's regular routine as much as possible. We can discuss what your preferences are. I will take care of your dog based on your instructions. I will diligently make sure that your dog is safe, comfortable, happy under my care and your home is looked after. Each dog is different, and I'll adjust to provide personalized care to meet your dog's needs and preference. I can provide exercises such as walking, hiking, playing fetch, or snuggling on the couch. I will provide you frequent updates and photos. I'm a text away and will respond to your inquiries promptly.
“Candy did a fabulous job watching our cat when we were Away for four days. She has such a good energy vibe with animals and truly loves them. I know Murphy felt very loved and attended to and we loved getting photos from Candy on how he was doing”
“Ghazaal did a great job looking after our two cats while we were traveling! She is super responsive and took great photos of them during her visits. She followed our instructions perfectly and we came home to two happy and well-cared for kitties!”
About: I am an animal lover who can not wait to meet you and your dog(s) and/or cat(s). I am ready to give your furry family members lots of attention and affection and go for tons of walks! We can walk around the neighborhood or go to a local dog park. I am a proud cat mom to two senior kitties, one DSH and one Persian. I have been pet sitting for 18 years for dogs of all sizes and breeds from 4lb chihuahuas to 100lb Labrador retrievers as well as cats of all ages. I am comfortable with any age from puppy to senior dogs and have experience administering oral medications to dogs and cats. I have past experience volunteering weekly as a dog walker for an animal shelter and it gave me a ton of exposure to many different breeds and temperaments of dogs. Let me know if you have any questions! I work outside of the home on weekdays in the afternoons and evenings, but I’m usually otherwise home and available to give your pets lots of love and attention in the mornings and early afternoons as well as late evenings and weekends! I am comfortable following whatever routines you have established, including crating dogs if that’s what works for you and your family. I am always careful to secure your home and make an effort to leave the house in the same condition (or better) than I found it!
About: I have had pets my entire life from birds and reptiles to small rodents and, of course, dogs and cats! I’ve worked in veterinary care for over 5 years and look forward to being your pet’s best friend. I am new to the area and currently job searching so my schedule is quite flexible! I am happy to do morning, afternoon, and evening drop ins and walks. I approach each pet with patience and take care to make sure the animal feels safe and loved. I am trained in fear-free practices and make sure to use them in all pet-related situations.
“Although this is a last min book, Meerim did an amazing job! She was very responsive and took good care of Judy while I was away for 5 days. She also communicated things well during the meet and greet to make sure she understood Judy’s needs. I will definitely reach out to Meerim again for any future bookings.”
“I was very impressed with G.'s visits. My cat is very skittish but when I returned from my trip, she was calm so I think G. did nothing to cause anxiety. In addition, in one of her daily reports, G. pointed out something about the cat's feeding habits. I was aware of this but felt that it was very responsible of G. to notice it after just a couple of days and bring it to my attention. I will be calling G. the next time I have a trip planned. Thank you G. for being so conscientious.”
“Artem was amazing!! He took exceptional care of Kylee and Rambo making sure they both got plenty of activity attention and love. His communication and reliability are 10/10 will definitely use again!!!!”
About: I recently lost my nearly 9-year-old German Shepherd who I raised since he was 8 weeks old. I loved him so much and am happy I was able to give him a great life. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters, so naturally I love animals! (They tend to like me too.) I am comfortable with any size dog, both large and small, and can administer pet medications or help with any dietary needs. I am lucky enough to be able to work primarily from home, which allows me time to prepare meals and exercise my dog every day. Taking care of pets is part of my everyday life. I live in a townhome near several parks, and my community has a dedicated pet relief area. I generally don't crate my dog unless he chooses to go in it on his own. I of course have no problem crating your dog or following any instructions you provide.
About: I grew up with the sweetest Shih Tzu in the world named Dak (a small computer chip). And I think my style of pet care came from taking care of him. I was attentive and gave him lots of love. He loved driving in the car with me, actually :) I have been pet sitting for friends and on other platforms for over 5 years in their homes. And I took care of a neighbor's bird way back in high school. For the most part I have specialized in cats and small to medium dogs. I also have a calm spirit that many animals are drawn to. So we can chill together for a long time. In addition, I'm responsible and respectful, caring and considerate not only for pets but also for owner's homes. I am able to communicate well and clearly and can problem solve to resolve any situation which might arise. In short, I have the know-how to be able to feed, entertain, clean up after, and love cats and dogs and their living spaces. And I can communicate well to their parents to keep them safe and happy while mom and dads are away. I currently work part-time teaching English online. I also am writing my doctoral dissertation. This means I am home a lot and very happy to spend lots of time with pets, even at my desk with me or curled up on the sofa. I strictly watch pets in their own homes. Firstly, because I am missionary and I've been staying temporarily in my parents house in North Carolina and now here with my brother in Palo Alto. Secondly, because I think pets are much happier if they can stay in their own homes and in familiar surroundings.
“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!”

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!
Jordan was a delight as always. She was able to pop in to help me out when there was a personal issue and I was unable to get home in time to let out the dogs. She was able to come by and make sure they were taken care of. Giving me a lot of peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Jordan!
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!
Kira is incredibly detailed in her Rover cards. It was above and beyond behavior the way she informed me about the entire visit. Kira demonstrates professionalism, kindness, and thoughtful behavior during meet and greet and all visits. She is an experienced sitter who can handle all things with care and ease. Incredibly valuable when you've got an energetic puppy like I do.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Los Altos Hills is $56 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $73 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 10,191 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Los Altos Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Los Altos Hills. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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 .
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.
