“Devon was born to care for your little loves. We are so relieved when we get his confirmation because we know everything will be ok at home. It's hard to leave as good of a review as he deserves because then everyone will book him up!! Thank you again, Devon!!”
“Lois helped us out on short notice! She was easy to coordinate and communicate with and immediately understood our shy dog. Both of our dogs were much more comfortable being able to stay at home while we were traveling. Thank you!”
“Ayshah stayed in our home to watch our two Frenchies. One was a puppy so he needed more care, time, patience and attention during our 3 night absence. She sent a daily picture.”
“First time booking this sitter and they were awesome! Lots of photo updates and they went above and beyond to leave the house ready for our return. We would gladly book Sydney again!”
“James is a fabulous pet and house sitter! He took in the mail, watered some new plants and even used his dog training skills to teach our ol’ man Blue some new manners while out on walks. It’s also helpful that James lives 3 min away from us in Grant Park. We will definitely use James again!”
“Sean was very communicative and left our house super clean! He took such good care of our senior dog and also checked in our chickens every day. I would definitely recommend Sean to anyone who needs someone they trust to take care of their animals and home!”
“Abbigail & Cody were so wonderful… what a team. They were super responsive. We got tons of puppy pics and our sweet girl was super happy when we arrived home. Looking forward to booking with them again.”
“This is the 3rd or 4th time Tiana has watched my boys and she is absolutely amazing! So responsive and keeps me updated at all times. Truly the best sitter I’ve found on Rover!! 10/10 would recommend”
“Audrianna kept good communication with me, would let me know when she left for work and when she returned to our home, and she contacted me with questions she had. She sent me pictures w couple of times a day which I enjoyed receiving.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have cared for dogs and cats of all kinds. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or keeping them company while you’re away, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I easily follow routines and can stay overnight if needed to ensure your furry friend gets constant care and affection 🐕💛 I work full-time from 8 AM to 5 PM, but I’m available mornings until 7:30 and afternoons after 5:30 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. I love spending my free time walking dogs, doing drop-in visits, or providing overnight care when needed. Your pet will always have my full attention and care 🐾💛 I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment. I carefully follow their routines, give them the attention they’re used to, and keep things calm and positive while you’re away. You can count on me to care for your furry friend with love and reliability 🐕💛
“Deondre was a great dogsitter! I started a new job and needed to book last minute and he was so accommodating. I have a large pitbull with separation anxiety that doesn't get along with other animals and Deondre did great with him! Communication was great, he let me know when he took the dog on a walk and how things were going. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Tabitha! Our Lab was cared for and loved. We didn’t need to worry about her. We got pics several times a day and messages. We would love to have her back anytime!”
“Inaya took good care of my dogs, Barbie and Que, this past weekend. She was so sweet and attentive with them, and it was clear they felt comfortable and happy in her care. I really appreciated her communication and how she handled everything with ease. Would absolutely hire her again—recommend!”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 12. I currently care for my own senior dog and kitten. Experience with dogs, cats and ferrets. Can give oral medication. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8-430 from home. I'm available for early morning and nightly drop ins as well as weekends. I have reliable transportation and willing to try to work around your pets needs When I'm in your home your pets are my only priority and get all of my attention. I have an eye for details whether that's following unique directions for your pet, giving out medications, or ensuring that there are no escape artists.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 14 years now, including my own and many friends, neighbors, and family. I work as a veterinarian. I’m willing to bathe your pets in addition to their basic needs. I know how to administer injections and other medications your pet may need. I take my currents pets out 3 times a day, and feed twice daily. I like taking them to parks once to twice a week if the owner is okay with that. I would take them out as many times as you see fit before and after class. If your pet is social they can play with my 10.5 year old and 3yr old. Both are very dog friendly and easy going. I do request them meeting outside before I bring them in. I do not believe in leaving your pets with mine while I am gone. Therefore the will be seperate when I must leave.
“Ashley was AMAZING with our 2 frenchies. Our trip was last minute so we didn’t have time for a meet and greet. I was nervous our older frenchie might be a bit of a handful at first. Upon her arrival I received pictures of them all snuggled up with her on the couch. She went above and beyond in all ways. Updates and pictures were provided during her in-home stay and she even cleaned up my kitchen (we left in a hurry). So not necessary, but what a treat when we returned. Such a pleasure to have Ashley caring for our fur babies. I’m definitely going to be a repeat customer of hers. A-1”
“Brittany was great. She saved us for a last minute reservation. She was very communicative and thoughtful sharing updates proactively and respectful of our space as well as very sweetly doing things like bringing in our mail when we didn't ask her too. Our dog is older and it was so great to have someone so caring take care of him.”
“Javay is great! Super flexible and is incredibly attuned to dog needs/emotions. She offered multiple meet and greets and made sure to know the dog before sitting. Great stuff”

Dazia was very flexible and very patient and helpful. She was very thorough and an amazing sitter for my babies. This was my first time trying this but Dazia helped me feel comfortable and accommodated my every step of the way! Thank you again so much for easing my worries. I look forward to booking with you again!
Lina was great!! She took care of my dog and cat while I went to the beach for a few days. It was so nice to be able to relax and not worry about my little ones. She communicated often and let me know that they were doing well and that everything was OK at the house. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future! It’s great to know that there are people like her out there! A+++++

FAQs for House Sitting - Mountain View
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,385 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mountain View. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mountain View walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mountain View maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mountain View choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
