I would happily book Amy again and highly recommend her!”

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.”
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.
“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.”
“Really appreciated the quick turn around from Stephanie. I booked on short notice about a day before a week long trip and she was able to accommodate specific meeting times for key handoff/instructions. Did a wonderful job taking care of Lily 2x a day. Would highly recommend!”
“I had a smooth, pleasant experience booking with Aiko! My pups looked happy to be with her. I heard that they went on multiple short walks and received treats that I provided. I would confidently book Aiko again.”
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.
About: I’ve always grown up in a family with lots of pets, so I really miss having that connection with animals. That’s why I’d love to have the opportunity to spend time with dogs here in California. Back in Italy, I regularly took care of medium-sized dogs, mostly taking them for walks, playing with them, and organizing playdates. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and would love to give them the same care and attention I’ve always given to my own pets. 🐶❤️ I’m currently work during the afternoon, so I’m free in the mornings, usually until 2:30 pm. Also after dinner around 6:30pm and nights. During the weekends I’m always free . I care for your pets by following their daily routines. At my home, I provide a safe, cage-free, and welcoming environment; at your home, I offer visits or sitting focused on feeding, walks, hygiene, and play. You will receive daily photo updates for complete peace of mind.
“We had a wonderful experience with Ke while we were away for a week in Tahoe! She was incredibly easy to communicate with, and it was clear our two kitties were in such thoughtful, caring hands. We felt completely at ease knowing they were being so well looked after. We’re so grateful for the care Ke gave them and will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain View
Yongzheng was great with our two cats. Super attentive and playful, and picked up on their little habits quickly. When the cats weren’t really eating their dry food, she checked with us about giving them a few extra treats, which we appreciated😀 And a couple times when they ate too fast and threw up on the carpet, she cleaned it right up on her own. The cats really took to her and got lots of play and company while we were away. When we got home they were both in such good spirits🥹 It really said it all about how well she looked after them. Would definitely recommend and book again!
Xiao was fantastic! She is extremely responsible, reliable, and followed every single instruction I left for my cat down to the detail. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pet was in such attentive hands. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
Xiaomeng took care of my cat Gustavo for a weekend and did a wonderful job. She made sure Gustavo's food and water bowls were clean and filled, handled the litter box, and played with her. She also sent lots of photos so I knew Gustavo was having a good time. She even went the extra mile and emptied the litter box trash on the last day. I would definitely book with Xiaomeng again.
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!
So greatful that Blair could visit Rocky when I was out of the country for work. He’s the happiest cat ever and even learned to purr after her visits. He definitely got a routine and seems super happy vs the opposite after me being away and it was such a relief to know he’d be ok when I was gone some time and in a different time zone. She kept everything in order and I didn’t have to worry at all and I was so glad to have photos of Rocky having fun and becoming a love bug.

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 September 2026, there are 9,107 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mountain View. 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 Mountain View 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.
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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
