About: Call me Lisa / Yuxin! I love cats and dogs equally! I had been volunteering at the local animal shelter for about a year. My specialization is cat but I’m open to dog walking! I’ve already established some pawrents clients in the Bay Area and I’m looking forward to meet more pets! I’m based in Mountain View and I’m bilingual - (Chinese/English)! * My partner sometimes joins me on visits (only when owners are okay with it!). I currently work remotely! So I have the flexibility to visit during mornings, lunch breaks and afternoons. I have a reliable vehicle so short commute is not an issue. I will make sure to accommodate your pets’ preferences and personality! I will do my best to keep them in a safe and clean environments and refill everything they need. I observe and take notes of your pets behaviors and will report to you if any further attention is needed!
“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”
About: Hello! My name is Kim, and I’m an experienced dog sitter and a huge dog lover! I recently started a Clinical Psychology PhD program at Palo Alto University, so I’ll be spending most of my time studying from home, which means plenty of time to give your pup attention, care, and cuddles! I grew up with two dogs, a Golden Retriever and a Chihuahua-Poodle mix, which sparked my love for caring for dogs. Since then, I’ve dog-sat for family and friends in NYC and through Rover in San Diego. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. ❤️ Since I spend much of my time studying, I can easily take breaks throughout the day to walk, play, and spend quality time with your pup! I’m excited to explore the Bay Area and its beautiful parks, and I’d love to have some furry companions join me on my adventures. I’ll make sure to balance my studies with plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles, while keeping your pup’s usual routine and needs a priority! I want your pup to feel right at home! 🐾 In my home, they’re welcome to relax on the furniture, play with their toys, and hang out in the living room, bedroom, and balcony. They can sleep in my room on their own dog bed, and cuddles in bed are welcome, too! I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and affection while following their usual routine. When caring for your pup in your home, I’ll prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their familiar routine. ❤️
About: I offer reliable, loving care for dogs of all breeds. With three years of experience, I specialize in senior dog care and fun daily walks. I’m available for pet care every afternoon from Monday to Thursday and I’m completely free all day on Fridays to accommodate your schedule. Feel free to contact with me. I live in a very safe apartment with two wonderful dog parks nearby, perfect for daily walks. I also have an 11-pound dog who is extremely friendly, especially with other small and medium-sized dogs, ensuring great company. Plus, I’m happy to drive the dogs out for fun outings and explore new parks!
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.
“As our dog is getting older her medication has also increased. Emily has no problem feeding at specific times, and handling all medications our Roxy girl requires now. She even caught booking mistakes on my end and checked in to see if corrections were necessary. They were! She's a blessing!”
“My cat and I are repeat customers of Lina because she is dependable, conscientious, and great with cats! My cat is a big fan of her and took to her immediately. I hired Lina to do twice daily drop in visits, and I can back to a super clean apartment and a happy cat. Thanks Lina!”
“Stacey took great care of our two cats. She got them playing and sitting on her lap for pets. They were well fed, litter clean. Most importantly, they seemed to have had a good week!”
About: In January, I said goodbye to my sweet girl after 13 wonderful years together. I miss her every day, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog of my own, I have so much love and attention to share. I’d love to take your dog on walks, keep them company, and give them plenty of affection while you’re away. Having loved a dog for so many years, I understand how much they mean to you, and I’d care for yours with the kindness and attention I’d want for my own. I work full-time, but most of my evenings and weekends are free. I really miss taking dogs on walks and enjoying the company of both dogs and cats, so I’d love to spend some of that time giving your pets extra care and attention. While I’m not available for overnight care, I can pick up your dog from home for a walk and bring them back afterward—perfect for evenings when you’re working late or have a busy schedule. I can also stop by to keep your cats company and give them some extra love and attention while you’re away.
“Brittany took great care of our cat for a week while we were out of town! She was happy to provide more detail on our cat's litterbox, food and water, and play habits in her Rover cards. She also takes the absolute cutest photos; the only drawback is that her photos will make you wish you were home with your pet! She took time to play with our very attention-needy kitty (who took to Brittany immediately), and kindly did unsolicited things like take in our mail. We were a bit anxious since this was our first time leaving our cat at home alone, the trip was fairly long, and it was our first time using Rover - but Brittany did not disappoint. I recommend her for cat care drop-in visits!”
About: Hi! I’m Sergii — a lifelong animal lover based in Mountain View. I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, and I truly can’t imagine a day without them. After moving to California, I started helping local families care for their pets — and it quickly became something I genuinely love doing. There’s a wonderful dog park right next to my home, where I take pups out for 3–4 walks a day. We play, explore, and spend lots of time outside. At home, your pet will enjoy a calm and cozy space with plenty of love and attention. I carefully watch over their meals, hygiene, and rest, treating every pet as if they were my own. I also take great care of cats — making sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for. Some pets stay with me for a few days, others for a month, and all of their owners have been happy with the experience. If you’re looking for someone kind, responsible, and truly passionate about animals — your furry friend will be in great hands! 🐶🐱 I walk dogs 3–4 times a day and spend lots of time outdoors. There’s a great dog park right next to my home where we play, walk, and relax together. I always make sure pets get enough exercise, care, and attention throughout the day. I live in a cozy, dog-friendly apartment in a quiet, safe neighborhood near a big park. It’s perfect for long walks and playtime. At home, I keep everything clean and comfortable, and I always make sure pets feel calm and secure — just like at their own home.
“Joelle was a quick responder to fill-in for taking care of my pup. She responded positively to my detailed instructions meant to help set her up for success. My energetic pup and her got along well. She took good care of my home and puppy.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain View
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mountain View is $32 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $49 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 November 2026, there are 8,999 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mountain View. 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 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:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
