“Viva is the best dog sitter!!! Our boys have such a wonderful connection with her and while we miss them when we are away, we never worry about them. She always sends the best pictures and videos, too! 15/10!”
“Sydney was wonderful-- sent us pictures, took great care of Mona, and was very patient with me when the instructions into our place were not the easiest. Excited to book Sydney again!”
About: I grew up with a chocolate lab and took in two cats in high school. I’ve primarily had cats as pets recently (and have become a master at giving cats pills). I’ve dog sat and cat sat for several friends. I always have a great time watching their home while spending time with their fur babies. I work fully remote for my 9-5 as well so any home with good wifi I can be there the whole working day. I have good experience giving cats pills and liquid medicine. I work remotely so I can work from any home with good wifi. So if your pet gets lonely I can keep them company all day long. For things that require a routine or specific timing, such as medicine, I set alarms and calendar reminders. I love getting a clear list of expectations from the pet owner of how to treat their specific pet. Every pet is unique and I want to make sure I’m caring for your pet in the way best for them! I’ve watched cats that needed three pills in the morning and one at night. I’ve watched dogs with special dietary restrictions where I had to tear up boiled chicken for them. I’ve also watched kitties that just want cuddles all day long and dogs who want to play fetch all day long. I always try to accommodate best I can!
“Did an amazing job with our pets and really went above and beyond with her pet sitting services. She stayed at our home with the animals and was a great house guest while we were gone”
“Tabitha was incredible. She took great care of our place and our pups. She sent regular updates, great pictures, and she talked about my dogs like she really got to know them. 10/10 definitely recommend”
“Inaya was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! She was communicative and very professional. She kept my house as clean (or cleaner) than when I left. Would highly recommend and definitely hope to use her again.”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing and took great care of our dog Ranger while we were out of town. The house was immaculate when we returned including the sheets washed which was so appreciated! Ranger got lots of love and we got updates from Brittany throughout. We will absolutely work with Brittany again!”
“Lois did a fabulous job taking care of Hugh, our large dog. She stayed in our home while we were on vacation and sent us multiple updates and pics of our pup, plus she left our home spotless! We will definitely be using her again for our future pet-sitting needs.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jasmine has taken care of our animals several times and has done a great job each time. I like having consistency when it comes to our animals caregiver and Jasmine is who we use exclusively.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sahara! This was the very first time I left my dogs with someone outside of my immediate family, so I was naturally nervous. From the moment I left for vacation, she made me and my fur babies feel completely at ease. She was caring, reliable, attentive, and treated my dogs like they were her own. Thank you!!!!!!”
“Rammiyah was great with my Great Dane Journey, who has severe separation issues. When we got back Journey was calm and no signs of stress or anxiety. I can't thank Rammiyah enough for taking such great care of my baby!”
“I’ve worked with a lot of sitters and Kyrr has been one of the best! They got my puppy plenty of playtime outside and understood everything with little direction. Will definitely be working Kyrr in the future”
“Our dogs, home, and garden were well cared during a 10-day trip abroad. Blake listened to instructions, was super flexible on scheduling, made communication easy, and seemed to really enjoy our pups' company. It felt great to come home to happy dogs and an orderly house.”
“Whitney was amazing and our girl loved her. It was our first time using Rover and leaving her with someone who wasn’t a family member or friend. Whitney made us feel so calm that Jolene was in good hands. She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. ?”
About: Hi! My name is Tyson, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. Growing up with pets taught me early on how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for animals. I currently work in childcare as a nanny and babysitter, and many of the families I work with also trust me with the care of their dogs inside their homes. Over the past seven years, I’ve gained experience caring for other people’s pets, including walking, feeding, bathing, nail trimming, and general grooming support. I also have my own Cane Corso at home, so I’m very comfortable handling large and strong breeds. Because of this, I’m confident managing leash pullers on walks and working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I pay close attention to dog body language and always aim to create a calm, safe, and fun environment for every pet in my care. I’m an active person and love engaging with dogs through walks, playtime, and enrichment so they stay happy and stimulated. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and has a great time while you’re away. I do childcare as far as being a nanny from 2:40 pm to 6 PM Monday through Friday so I am available anytime before or after that time. And I am available all weekend long. When caring for pets, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would with their owner. In a client’s home, I respect their routine as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions to help the pet stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while you’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, supervised environment where they can relax and stay active. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, and I make sure every dog gets proper exercise, structured walks, and positive interaction. I always pay close attention to body language and behavior to ensure all pets are comfortable and stress-free. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident that their pet is happy and in good hands.
“Book this pet sitter! She is a dog whisperer!!! I can't say enough wonderful things about Mia. She stayed with my dog overnight for 4 days. My dog loved ❤️ her. Mia was also a great house guest in my home. Everything was very clean and tidy when I got back. She's a college student with lots of energy for your pet. I highly recommend her for the Lake Oconee area.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Mountain View is $50

Justin is fantastic! He took such great care of our dog and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home and somehow left it in even better condition than when we left! We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Justin to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable!
Sean did amazing. When the trickster Glitch got into something he was not suppose to (my mistake leaving something he could get to). Sean called and took him straight to the emergency he knew existed (I was still Googling). Then sat there and made sure to cover everything with constant communication back to me. The timeliness and attention probably saved my dogs life. You can bet I would recommend him and will be using him again.
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 September 2026, there are 4,434 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.

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.
