“Alissa did a great job with our dog! She took good care, closely following all instructions and sent a bunch of updates along the way. We would definitely use her again. Thanks a lot Alissa!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family, friends, neighbors, anyone with a furry bestie! Can’t have pets yet but would treat them as my own. Honestly I would love to have a pet of my own, but would like to be a home owner with a yard before I get a big old best friend. I love to watch my friends pets for them, and am joining Rover as a walker/ sitter so I could selfishly shower them with pets and love :-) I make sure that they get a wonderful day getting some energy out. Will typically walk a dog for ~30 min unless requested otherwise. My friends typically leave specific instructions for me, as their pets require more care (feeding hours, medicine application, etc.) and I will always make sure to follow your instructions as you intend!
“Colin did a great job taking care of our three cats while we were out of town for a few days! She provided us with thorough daily updates and photos, and everyone seemed very well cared for when we arrived home. One of our cats needed daily oral medication and an injection, and Colin handled it like a pro! We will definitely rebook with her in the future :)”
“Blair took wonderful care of Bell, our sometimes anxious kitty! She met Bell before our trip to get to know her and understand her routine. Bell quickly bonded with Blair, and we could tell she was in great hands. We've definitely found Bell's go-to cat-sitter! Thanks, Blair, for taking such thoughtful care of Bell and for giving us peace of mind during our trip.”
“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've loved animals my whole life and have cared for pets since 2016. I had my own bunny for five years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how much consistency matters in pet care. Over the years, I've helped roommates, friends, and family with their pets, including feeding, walks (rain included!), baths when needed, cleaning up accidents, playtime, and companionship. While I don't yet provide emergency or medical care beyond the basics, I'm very comfortable with daily routines and making pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is that I'm very good at following instructions. I know every pet parent has specific preferences, and I respect that fully. During the first visit, I may ask clarifying questions to make sure I'm doing everything exactly how you like it. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease. I'm available weekdays during standard working hours and would love to spend that time giving your pup or kitty attention, movement, and care. I'm currently available on weekdays during standard 9-5 hours, which makes me a great fit for midday walks, drop-in visits, and weekday care. I'm not available on weekends at this time. Since I'm focusing on weekday bookings, I'm able to give your pet my full attention during visits rather than rushing between commitments. Your pet's comfort and your home's safety are very important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, double-check doors and leashes, and make sure your pet is secure before and after walks. I maintain a calm presence and respect both your home and your pet's boundaries. I clean up after pets, keep litter areas and feeding spaces tidy, and leave your home as I found it. Clear communication is important to me, so you can expect updates, photos, and honest check-ins throughout my time with your pet.
“Rachel is amazing! She took amazing care of my kitty and buns, and provided some of the best pics of them that put my mind at ease while I was away!! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter in the future”
“Jordan was an absolutely amazing sitter! This was my first time leaving my cat behind as I went on vacation and I was definitely nervous about the process, but Jordan put me at ease right away. As a bonus, my cat was still afraid to meet new people, but Jordan was very patient with her and by the end of my (short) trip, she was comfortable enough with her to sit on her lap. I cannot say how much I appreciate Jordan’s time and how nice it was to come home to a cat that was relaxed and just happy to see me.”
“Xiao is simply the best. She has watched our 3 cats on 3 occasions now and she’s always been phenomenal. She sends tons of pictures after every visit which is nice when you miss your babies. Her updates are always so detailed and make us feel comfortable our fur babies are safe and happy. She is definitely a cat lover and our cats adore her. Would 10/10 recommend Xiao!”
“Andriana was one of the best rovers we have ever used. She was thoughtful and went above and beyond with our cat. She took extra time to play with our cat while we were away and took an entire album of photos for us. Would highly recommend!!”
“Chelsey was wonderful as always! Our favorite part of each day on vacation was sitting down and seeing all the update pictures of our cat. She always takes such great care of her!”
About: I have grown up taking care of my family yellow lab Hobie since I was 10 years old, as well as dog walked/dog sat for friends and other families in my neighborhood. The age of the dog and any special care needed is not something I shy away from. Other Experience: - Dog walker with my sister when we were younger - house sitting with dogs I am currently home from college for the summer until September due to being on quarter system. I have open availability right now and am very flexible with scheduling needs. I live in a cul-de-sac back home, with a fenced backyard with grass, as well as a front yard where my dog can easily play, pee, or sunbathe during the Spring and Summer. I live next to downtown as well as multiple creek trails. Whether it’s going on walks with dogs or staying inside keeping cats company and time to socialize and play, are all environments I enjoy being in.
“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 :-).”
“Lisa is such a conscientious person. She took such great care of our little puppy and was generous enough to stay an extra couple of minutes when I was running late. I know I’ll be calling on her again!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Mountain View is $31

Xiao was the best pet sitter that we've worked with. She set up a phone call to discuss what our needs were just prior to the weekend that we asked her to pet sit. This was very reassuring as she was able to meet our cat and ask any clarifying questions. It's clear that she had significant experience with many types of cats and she gave us great advice for different parts of the pet sitting experience, including making sure that we had set up our video in case of any health issues. Her daily updates were extremely thorough, making sure to keep us up to date on our cat's health, her litter behavior and tons of photos. All of this allowed us to feel extremely reassured during our vacation that our cat would be taken care of extremely well and allowed us to feel comfortable making sure that our pet was safe and happy. As an extra bonus, she was also able to keep track of some Amazon packages that made it to our door while we were out of town and she safely put them indoors. We would highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again.
As good as usual! Always like Mireya’s story. It’s been part of my trip every time waiting for her notes. Recently my house has ant problem. Mireya was also very nice rinsing the cat food bowl. Before she left the house, my cat was trying to poop on the bed. Thanks god Mireya stopped my cat from doing that. Can’t thank her more!
Caroline was great! She came every day as scheduled, gave the one cat his 2 medicines, and spoiled both my kitties with treats and playtime. They were happy and healthy when I got home from my trip. Even the plants looked better than when I left them. I'll call on Caroline again!
Andriana is incredibly intentional, organized, kind, and a great communicator. She kept us updated and gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in caring hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her to the Rover community!
I’ve never used Rover or had a pet sitter and am so grateful to connect with Blair! She helped me feel totally comfortable with having her come check on Rocky when I was away visiting my mom after his major move out to California from Texas. Now I know I can go places and someone can check on Rocky and also bring him some play time which is a huge relief. He loves to play so this is great and I think the extra treats helped him feel even better adjusting to life here. I have the automatic feeder and litter but still loved having Blair check on Rocky and send photos. Can’t wait to have her come again for my trip next week! She made such good friends with him quickly which is surprising as he can be shy and cranky lol
Lisa took wonderful care of Tchitcha while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout the visits. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Tchitcha was in good hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. Thank you so much, Lisa! We would absolutely book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Mountain View on Rover is $32.19 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,524 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mountain View. 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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mountain View. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
