“Xiao is very experienced, she took great care of my cats, followed instructions fully and exactly every visit, and provided lots of photos as well as feedback. She even helped me water my strawberries! Xiao was also very careful and noticed things that my cats have done i.e. she helped me close doors that they accidentally opened. It's been great to have Xiao take care of them during my vacation!”
About: I have absolutely adored dogs since I was a baby, always visiting all the dogs in Nepal and begging for a dog. At the park I would always play with the dogs and never played on the playground. I started to take care of dogs for friends and for others as well. I am very flexible with my schedule, there are points where i’m unaviable that are easy to work around, I can always make something work. I usually have my own treats and I’ll ask the owner if they are comfortable with me giving them to the pets. I make sure I know everything about the animal, its likes and dislikes
“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!”
About: Dogs and cats have been a meaningful part of my life for the past 18 years, and caring for them has taught me how much love, patience, and trust goes into pet care. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will truly pay attention and treat them with kindness. What sets me apart is that I’m very detail-oriented and empathetic. I notice small changes in behavior, energy, appetite, or mood, and I adjust based on what each pet needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I can also help reinforce basic routines like feeding schedules, leash manners, and calm behavior. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Here’s a good way to phrase it: I’m currently between full-time roles, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care, and I can usually accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be reliable for last-minute or recurring bookings. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level. I keep the environment calm, clean, and low-stress, especially for senior dogs or pets who need extra patience. I’ll also provide updates so owners know their pet is safe, cared for, and happy.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them! While I’m newer to dog walking, I have hands on experience caring for my own chihuahua, which has given me a good understanding of the needs of smaller breeds. I’m committed to giving every dog the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I currently work part-time, so my schedule can vary from week to week. I keep my calendar updated and communicate any availability changes as early as possible. I’m available for pet care throughout the week! I prioritize a clean, safe, and hygienic environment for all pets. I feed high quality food tailored to their needs and ensure they get plenty of outdoor time, with walks or play sessions at least 2-3 times a day. I engage with them through play, affection, and attention to make sure they feel comfortable and happy.
“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.”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm the proud cat mom of Louie, who has been my companion for the past 15 years. During my time as a travel nurse, Louie and I spent eight years traveling the country together, which taught me a great deal about animal behavior, routines, and helping pets feel secure and comfortable. I'm a pediatric nurse by profession, so caring for others comes naturally to me. Friends describe me as dependable, patient, and nurturing—qualities that I bring to pet care as well. Although most of my experience comes from being a lifelong pet owner, I have also cared for friends' cats while they were away and understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I especially love cats and understand their unique personalities, but I also grew up with a dog and enjoy spending time with dogs too. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my weekly routine. My current work schedule is flexible, which gives me the opportunity to provide reliable care, attention, and companionship to pets throughout the week. I understand how important consistency is, especially for cats, and I strive to keep pets comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's specific needs, preferences, and schedule. In a client's home, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks (if applicable), playtime, affection, and companionship while ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I am also comfortable administering medications to both cats and dogs according to owner and veterinary instructions. As a pediatric nurse, I am attentive to details, patient, and experienced with following care plans carefully. I understand the importance of consistency and monitoring for changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. Having owned cats my entire life and cared for my cat Louie for the past 15 years, I understand that every pet has a unique personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and in need of extra attention, or shy and prefers a quieter approach, I will adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I will also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own—with patience, compassion, and plenty of love.
“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!”
“Yiping took care of my small dog and cat while I was away for the weekend. I got a very quick response to my booking request, even though it was a bit of a late notice. Yiping is very sweet, adaptable, and took good care of my babies, staying as long as needed to give them good care. I also received lots of pictures during the check-ins! Thank you Yiping 😊”
“Kelun is always fabulous with our cat Monty. She provides lots of updates and photo and can tell she cares deeply about the pets she’s watching. She always sending us amusing photos while we’re away and we feel confident to leave our cat in her care!”
“This is the first time I have used Rover.com to find a pet sitter for our cats. I reached out to Tyler and had a meet and greet with him. Tyler was wonderful with the care of our kitties. I could tell that they were cared for as they seemed calm (not starved for attention) upon our return 7 days later. I loved the daily reports and photos from Tyler. He kept me informed and the pet areas (litter, feeding mats) were clean. It was a pleasure to have Tyler take care of our cats. I would definitely recommend him and will book him again next time we have a trip.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats and I truly enjoy being around animals. I am responsible, patient, and reliable. I understand how important pets are to their families and I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule and I am available for drop-in visits and dog walking during weekdays and weekends. I am reliable, organized, and able to accommodate different schedules when needed. I always make pet safety my priority and follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I provide a calm, caring, and trustworthy environment and make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for during each visit.
“Elise is very kind, caring, and gentle with Suriya and takes care of him with patience and understanding. Suriya enjoys Elise's company and is relaxed and happy with her care. Elise is very reliable, wonderful to work with, and I cannot recommend her enough!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain View
Stacey is an amazing cat sitter! She has taken care of our cat, Mimosa, multiple times, and we always come back to her whenever we travel. She is incredibly responsible, reliable, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Mimosa is in such good hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
I had a wonderful experience with her as my cat sitter! She took great care of my cat for an entire week and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly responsive to messages and kept me updated with lots of photos and videos, which made me feel connected and reassured the whole time. My cat looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for under her supervision. As an added bonus, she also helped water my plants, and everything was thriving when I returned home. I really appreciated her reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for both my cat and my home. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Barbara is wonderful! She is a cat “whisperer “, and instantly made a connection with both of our cats the very first time she met them. She was very good with communicating and sending pictures, and even went above and beyond, watering our impatiens outside! We will absolutely use her again!!
Michael was amazing. He understood every ask I gave of him, even those that were conditional on what he saw at our house. He made sure to give my cat the full time, and never let her out of his sight while he was with her. I would happily book him again to take care of my cat
Kelun is amazing, so very attentive and my cat absolutely LOVES her. She takes hilarious and cute pictures of Louie and perfectly matches his play style. She also goes above and beyond when she notices things around the house, including any pet mess ups or special requests. Whenever she is available she’s always our first and only pick to look after Louie - we always rest assured when she’s booked!
Yongzheng did a wonderful job with drop-visits for our kittens while we were away. Communication with her was great and easy, plus she added many cute videos/photos from the visits and took time to play with them and make sure they were doing well. Our young kittens (who have not yet met many people and are sometimes shy) seemed comfortable and happy with her, which was amazing!
Estela was wonderful with Gigi. My dog requires special care and has specific instructions that need to be followed, and Estela was very attentive and careful with every detail. She followed all of Gigi’s care procedures exactly as requested and made me feel confident that she was in good hands. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and dedication she showed while caring for her. I am very grateful and would highly recommend Estela to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

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:
- 90% 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.
