“I’m very grateful for Mica’s attentive and caring service while taking care of my kitties when I was away, including giving one of my cats their inhaler medication. She was reliable, kind, and thoughtful, and I definitely hope to continue having her help in the future.”
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.
“Miriam is a wonderful pet sitter! We needed some last minute help with our dogs, so I reached out to her to ask if she was available. She went out of her way to accommodate our request and was able to take excellent care of our dogs for the entire time we needed. She also fed them at the appropriate time and monitored their activities very well. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for professional care for their pets! I hope to have her look after our dogs again soon!”
“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!”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments, including large breeds like German Shepherds. I’m comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, walks, playtime, basic medication, and keeping pet areas clean. I am available in the mornings and evenings, sometimes could do afternoon playtime. I follow each pet’s individual routine and preferences and adjust timing as needed. I provide calm, reliable care in a safe, familiar environment for your pet, carefully following routines and instructions while keeping owners informed with regular updates.
“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!”
“Thank you! 😊 Stacey was very communicative and responsive. She sent pictures and an update to let me know how things went with my pup. 🐶 Thea looks forward to her walks in the future with Stacey!”
“Ke was very responsive and easy to coordinate meeting my cat. He was very comfortable with her. Ke spent a good amount of time with him while I was away and sent plenty of photos. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs a catsitter.”
“Barbara was very caring of our senior cat--we had full faith that she was being well taken care of. Barbara sent us thorough updates and thoughtful questions. Book Barbara without hesitation! Thanks, Barbara!”
About: I am a college student with a lifelong love for animals! I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats, and my friends & family often rely on me to care for their pets, including senior dogs. With a professional background leading youth programs and managing an office, I am incredibly dependable, safety focused, and organized. I also love hiking and would be thrilled to take your dogs on walks! Pet care is the highlight of my daily routine! As a college student, I have a very manageable schedule that allows me to easily step away for drop ins & walks. I already love spending my free time outdoors, so taking dogs along with me on walks or stopping to socialize with a cat sits perfectly into my everyday life. When I’m a guest in your home, my top priority is maintaining your pet’s normal routine while treating your space with respect! I am meticulous about following your exact instructions for feeding and house rules. You can expect me to leave your home exactly as I found it, or cleaner! I am highly diligent about scooping litter boxes, wiping up wet food spills, and double checking that all doors and gates are locked before I leave.
“Blair went above and beyond to watch my diabetic kitty! She even came over early to meet him and get him used to her. I really appreciate the time and effort she put in to getting Mish Mish to get comfortable with her. I will book with her again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I lived with a cat in my household for about a year and cared for a small dog for another year. I’ve also provided cat sitting for friends on multiple occasions. I genuinely love both cats and dogs and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work full-time on weekdays, so I’m available in the evenings and on weekends. I usually get home after 8 PM and can start visits anytime afterward, as late as 11 PM if needed. I usually start with the essentials—cleaning the litter box, refreshing food and water, and making sure everything is in order. After that, I follow the cat’s lead: if they’re in the mood to play or interact, I’m happy to spend time with them, and if they prefer space, I respect that and let them relax comfortably.
“Candy is amazing! She read all of my instructions and followed them perfectly, sent tons of cute photos, and even went out of her way to find my cat when she was hiding under the bed. Highly recommend!”
“Xiao was wonderful! I hired her for drop-in visits for my two cats for over a week while we were traveling. She was reliable, followed all the instructions perfectly, and took excellent care of them. I came home to happy, content cats. I will absolutely be booking Xiao again!”
“Kelun was fantastic! We returned from our 1 week trip to find cat happy, healthy, and in a great mood. Beyond just taking excellent care of our pet, Kelun went above and beyond by perfectly handling an unexpected ant problem and keeping our home spotless. It’s such a relief to have a sitter who is proactive and reliable. I highly appreciate her help and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish) throughout the years. I love my cats and dog more than anything and I know how important it is to make sure that they are being taken care of properly. Rest assured I will take good care of your babies, making sure they are fed on time, played with, and cleaned up after. I am available for walks and care in the late afternoon (after 3 pm). I am available to house and pet sit during the weekends. I am careful, respectful, and responsible. I will feed and take care of your pets needs with diligence and patience. If your dog needs doggie playtime, I have my own friendly one who can keep them company.
About: Your pet’s comfort and safety are my priority. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, your pet will be in caring hands. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I make time to ensure pets receive attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and loving companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintain a clean and safe environment, provide regular updates, and make sure pets feel calm, secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.
About: I’ve lived with dog for a long time. Give them a love and be patient to wait, trust each other is the best way for training. Sitting is available daily for small dogs since my dog is small one and typically good to stay with small dogs. Big dogs are not sure. I’m working from home, so stay with dog most of day. Go out for a walk at least twice a day and have a play time during lunch. That’s my routine.

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!
Barbara is absolutely wonderful and truly goes above and beyond. She took excellent care of my cat, spent extra time with her, and kept me updated while I was away. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cat was in such caring and reliable hands. I couldn’t appreciate Barbara more and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional cat sitter!
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!

As of July 2026, there are 4,396 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:

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.
