“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!”
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.
“Miriam is wonderful. She took such great care of my cat while I was out of town. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Absolutely recommend and would love to have her back in the future.”
About: I’ve never known life without a pet until a few years ago, and every opportunity I can to love on and care for an animal is one I take with joy. I’ve cared for excitable dogs and managed reactive ones, so any energy your pet brings is one I will look forward to getting to know. I work from 7-4 weekdays, so I’m flexible to support with an evening walk or to take care of a lower maintenance pet on weekdays. Weekends I’m available for walks or house sitting as needed. I’m happy to foster the environment that supports your pet best! I’ve experience with highly playful pets, as well as pets who need attention. I will give your pet the most attention and care I can.
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.
“Ghazaal took great care of my fur baby! She followed my care guide closely so my cat was well taken care of and happy when I returned from vacation. Ghazaal pays close attention to what Kola needs and goes above and beyond taking care of her :)”
“So grateful Stacey was able to watch our two cats while we were away. She was gentle and gave them the space to hide or feel their feelings when they first met, but while we were out she got our shy black cat to become her new best friend! Thanks again!”
“I highly recommend Chamu for anyone who needs a trusted sitter and want to feel reassured that their pet is well taken care of. I booked Chamu as a drop in visit during my long trip. I was hesitant because my cat is very hesitant when it comes to strangers and I had not booked any service through Rover before. Normally my cat gets visitors but due to holidays there were nobody around, so I had to turn to Rover for last minute drop in bookings. Both times I booked Chamu she was very responsive and very accommodating. The visits themselves were very short, but she did everything and more. She refilled his food and water, tidied up his litter, and played with him. She also sent me pictures, and I was happy to see that he was very receptive to her. Overall, I am very happy with my experience with her and would highly recommend her. I would definitely book her again if I ever need to.”
About: Preferred name: Fifi Grew up with small and large dogs like Spitz and Golden Retriever. Currently live with cats🐱 Always pet sitting for friends over holidays in the past 12 years including domestic cats, ragdoll, poodles and doodles, Bernese mountain, Maltese, Cotons, Cavapoo, Bichon… Flexible in time and locations. For boarding: I can pickup and drop-off your pets if you are occupied with other things or simply don’t wanna drive :) For house-sitting: Happy to walk your pets around neighborhoods, nearby parks, and trails or beaches (during weekends). My work schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I also enjoy driving and don’t mind traveling a bit for pet sitting or drop-in visits. I’m usually available on weekends as well, so I can be flexible with different schedules and care needs. I always follow the owner’s house rules and care instructions, and try my best to keep each pet’s normal routine while their family is away. Every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust to their needs—whether that means extra walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them some space. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care. 🐾
“Yiping was excellent with my cat, Remy, who enjoyed hanging out with her while I was away. I was very glad for getting updates and pictures after each visit. It’s very clear to me that Yiping has a great way with cats and, I’m sure, with all animals.”
“Wow! These two really exceeded my expectations. My dogs are both shy but they warmed up quickly to them which is rare. L&P gave detailed updates so that I could tell my dogs were happy and having fun! They really love dogs and it shows.”
“Claire was great with Monty during my two weeks away. Played with him with a variety of his toys and kept up with his brushing (important for long-haired cat!). She also did a great job keeping my indoor and outdoor potted plants watered on their various different schedules. And even though I didn’t ask for this specifically I appreciate that Claire swept up the stray litter around the litter box and everything was clean and tidy when I returned. Would love to have Claire watch Monty next time I need a sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was a teenager, giving love and attention to pets of all ages — from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets. I’m experienced with overnight stays, daily walks, and check-ins, and I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to making sure your furry family members feel happy and safe while you’re away. I work in special education while studying remote as a full-time student, so I’m available for overnight stays, early morning or evening walks, and check-ins before or after work. I also have full availability on weekends, making it easy to care for pets while their owners are away. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their home. I follow routines, provide meals, walks, and attention, and respect your home by keeping everything clean and secure.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain View
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!
We had a wonderful experience with Xiao! She's very responsible. Before her visit, she set up a video call with us to understand our needs. During the visit, she sent us several photos of our cats while she played with them, and she patiently helped us set up our automatic litter box. She even went above and beyond by watering our plants! We'll definitely book her again next time.
I found Barbara to be attuned to my Ragdoll cats needs. She was gentle with them understanding their shyness in accepting her. She was excellent in keeping me informed about their care through texting and photos. I appreciated all the time she spent with them. I would definitely ask her again!
Candy was very caring with our two rambunctious pups, a three-year-old Samoyed and a 9-month-old Malamute puppy. She bonded with them right away, especially the Samoyed and was frequently sending us updates and photos. We’re very happy with her, and will definitely be booking her services again.

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 .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
