About: We have both had dogs for our entire lives. I grew up with a Jack Russell and my wife had Dalmatians and a Pit Bull. We adopted a young dog last year and unfortunately she was diagnosed with cancer in the ten months we had her. Since putting her down we are really wanting to help out others with their dogs. I work from home and my wife is off from work and home 3-4 days per week. I work from home full time Monday-Friday and my wife works 3-4 days per week. Weekends we are home are usually spent walking or hiking somewhere in the morning and relaxing in the yard in the evenings. We have a large, fully fenced in yard. Fences are 6ft high. We are in a great walking neighborhood with trails near by and like to be outside as much as we can.

About: I've shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember, and for the past five years I've had the privilege of caring for the pets and homes of wonderful families in my community. Many of my clients have been with me since I first started pet sitting. I've celebrated the arrival of new puppies, cared for beloved companions through their senior years, and been honored to love a few sweet souls right up to the Rainbow Bridge. Those experiences have taught me that every pet is unique, and every one deserves patient, loving care. These days I also enjoy spending lots of time with my Golden Retriever grandpuppy, who keeps me smiling and reminds me how much joy dogs bring to our lives. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs. They often need a little extra patience, a slower pace, and plenty of gentle affection—and I'm happy to give it. When you're away, my goal is simple: to keep your pets comfortable, your home well cared for, and to give you complete peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands. I am retired and am used to filling my days and nights with sitting. When I’m at your home, I’m there. Just like you, I will run to the grocery store or do some errands, but never leave for extended periods. I’ll stay at your place overnight, keeping your pet’s schedule just as it usually is. I’m an early riser and regularly get out with the sun. I’m always counting steps, so your robust walkers will get theirs too. I can accommodate slow walkers and doggies with a high sniff to walk ratio. I’m there for your pets. Plants need watering, I’m on it. Mail a garbage as well. Whatever you need, I am on it. Playing and snuggling are two things your pet will get lots of too.

About: I've grown up with dogs and have taken care of them since I was a child. I am frequently the go-to dog sitter for friends. I just got laid off my job and want to do something that brings me joy. I have no pets and I will only watch one dog at a time (no cats). Your dog will get all the attention and peaceful environment. Free all day. Just got laid off my job and my days are wide open. Free for midday day dog walks or check-ins. Open to boarding on weekends. I frequently dog sit for friends. I'm just making it official with Rover. I live in a condo with my girlfriend, one block from Berkley Lake Park. Great trails and a dog park to explore.

About: Hi! My name is Alicia but I go by AJ! I have had pets all my life (everything from German Shepherds to Pugs to Blue Heelers to poodles and every mix in between). I have 10 years of experience watching and walking dogs as well as time working at an animal hospital for 3 of those years. Each dog is unique and I aim to individualize their requested service by getting to know them and their family during our initial meet and greet. Whether it’s for a walk, house sit, or a drop-in visit, I want your dog to be as happy and stress-free as possible! I currently work from home, so my schedule is highly flexible. Your pet will have constant companionship, regular bathroom breaks, and structured walks right alongside my daily routine. Because of my flexible schedule, I can easily integrate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day to meet your needs. I treat your pets as my own. I love to know how they like to play and what they like to do based on their energy level. I always try to keep you up to date with pictures and text updates about their day. I like to keep their routine as close to their usual as possible to reduce stress.

About: I can care for all size dog and cat breeds. I am able to advise on training, socializing, medicating, and any other husbandry issues with numerous types of pets. I am retired, so I have time. I am available during the day and possible overnight for long stays or short play/potty visits at your house. Your pets' care and safety will be my main priority while staying at your home. That encompasses your home as well. I can feed/measure out diets, clean up after, medicate (oral and injection), comb/brush, walk (all sizes), transport, enrich, crate (if required), and work on training priorities while you're away. I only use positive reinforcement training.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves endless love, belly rubs, and a little spoiling! I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with two adorable Dachshunds, Joey & Ernie, who previously passed and my beautiful German Shepherd, Rosie, who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. ❤️ Losing Rosie has left a big paw print on my heart. While I’m not quite ready to welcome another dog of my own, I have so much love left to give! That’s why I’ve decided to share that love with other people’s furry family members. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, snuggling, or just having someone around to give them attention, I’m your girl! Having loved both little Dachshunds and a big German Shepherd, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own with lots of affection, patience, playtime, and, of course, plenty of belly rubs! Your pup gets a loving friend, and I get a little more puppy happiness in my life. It’s a win for both of us! 🐾❤️ I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’d love to have a furry coworker to keep me company! My flexible routine allows plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and, of course, belly rubs! I’m also available some weekends and may consider overnight stays for pups I’ve gotten to know and built a relationship with. Your dog will get lots of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! Your pup will be treated like part of the family! We have a pet-free home, a fenced backyard for playtime, and a wonderful neighborhood with a nearby park for walks and adventures. My husband and college-aged son are also around to offer extra love, attention, and belly rubs! I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Whether your pup loves playing fetch or lounging, there’s plenty of room for both!

About: With a genuine passion for animals and a commitment to responsible pet care, I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines and personalities. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, companionship or simply extra belly rubs, I will make your dog’s happiness and well-being my top priority. I have a fenced backyard and the flexibility of working from home full-time, which allows me to provide your dog with a comfortable environment and my full attention. Plus, living only four blocks from Sloan’s Lake offers us a fantastic opportunity for long walks or peaceful afternoons relaxing on a blanket, enjoying the scenery and people-watching. I have been a devoted dog owner my entire life, and I currently have a 10-year-old black Labrador named Jasper, whom I rescued at 8 weeks old. He’s an incredibly friendly and lovable dog who loves spending time with other dogs. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide your dog with a companion all day and the flexibility to take multiple walks throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and live in a duplex without any stairs. I have a 10-year-old black Labrador. He’s an incredibly friendly and lovable dog who loves spending time with other dogs.

About: I’ve had my dog, Toby, for 8 years, since I was a senior in college, and being his dog mom has taught me so much about caring for dogs with different needs and personalities. I have experience with positive reinforcement training, daily walks, keeping up with exercise and playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of mental stimulation through sniffing and exploring on walks. I know every dog has their own routine, quicks, and comfort levels, and I think it’s important to be patient and attentive to what makes each pup happy. When caring for your dog, I’ll do my best to keep them comfortable, stick to their usual routine, and give them lots of love and attention! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else and I’ll treat them with the same care I give Toby :) I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can easily fit walls, playtime, and check ins into my day. I love going outside for walks and taking breaks throughout the day so having a pup to spend time with is a perfect fit! Our home has a fenced in yard for safe outdoor time, play and potty breaks. I want your pup to feel comfortable, safe, and loved wherever they are and am always happy to follow any specific instructions or preferences you have.

About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with experience walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, and caring for their everyday needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to help with walking, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and kindness I give my own! I have a flexible schedule for pet care! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I have extra flexibility those days. I’m available anytime after 4 PM Tuesday through Thursday, but my work schedule is flexible, so I can also work from home on those days if an emergency or extra need comes up. I’m usually in town and available on weekends, too! I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need 🐾 I provide loving, attentive care while keeping pets comfortable and sticking to their usual routines. Starting November 1, my new condo will have walk-out access with a park right across the street, perfect for walks and outdoor time! In a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping their space clean.

“I feel very fortunate to have found Katherine. She's very punctual, polite, and communicates quickly and clearly. And she brings a lot of energy which is exactly what I wanted for my pup. But what most impressed me is her eagerness to take on a challenge and work to overcome it. My dog Ilya is the absolute best and a big old love bug... but he is VERY big (115 lbs), very strong, and he likes to test boundaries when walking with a new person. Figure him out and he's extremely well-behaved and the most fun you'll have with a dog; otherwise you may as well put on rollerskates bc he's taking you where *he* wants to go. He likes to test people and push boundaries, and his size and loveableness makes it hard to say no and redirect him. He's a challenge but people who can rise to the challenge are rewarded with a really one of a kind dog. But a lot of dog walkers aren't looking for a challenge. Which is understandable, but in Ilya's case, they really *are* missing out on a dog who is amazingly well behaved and fun once you earn his respect and trust. From the get-go it was clear that Katherine was eager for the challenge rather than looking for an easier client. That is a very rare quality these days. She was also very observant and asked astute questions, and let me know what I could do to facilitate things. As a result, in just a few days Katherine and Ilya were doing fantastic and as I said, I feel very fortunate and grateful to have found someone who will get the very best from Ilya and have a really mutually enjoyable relationship.”

Finn was awesome. I was stuck in a bind and needed a dog walker for the next day. Finn replied immediately and we were able to set up walks for the following couple of days. My dog is typically hesitant towards strangers but immediately loved Finn. I would highly recommend Finn for anyone looking for a new reliable dog walker.

Maria was wonderful and took such great care of our 55 lb senior Husky and 115 lb Great Dane during their daily walks while we were out of town! Both of our dogs needed daily exercise, and Maria took them on hour-long walks each day. She also sent detailed report cards and pictures from every walk, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. It was especially reassuring knowing she could comfortably handle both our senior Husky and our very large Great Dane. We had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog walker!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Mountain View

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Mountain View is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 13,344 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Mountain View. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Mountain View. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Mountain View after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mountain View. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
