“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.”
“Sean was absolutely wonderful. He played fetch with the boys, took them on walks, cuddled with the boys and KittyKat and checked in and sent pictures. When I arrived home the boys and KittyKat were excited to see me and very content and I could tell they were well cared for and enjoyed Sean. Lastly, Sean is a very respectful and thoughtful house guest and I enjoyed coming home to happy pups and cat and a clean home.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and getting to hang out with a pup is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. I’m also an avid hiker, so if your dogs ever need some outdoor time, I’ll be sure they get it. I work from home, so I am available to stay with your dog all day. I can take them outside for potty breaks, walks, or any other needs 24/7. I have a fenced in yard, and walking trails right next to my house. I also am available to stay over at your home and be with your dog 24/7. 100% of my clients, will receive photos of their baby!
“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.”
“Reagan was very cleanly and asked lots of thoughtful questions. She sent regular updates which was great. All of the animals seemed happy after we’d been gone for a week!”
“Javay was fantastic! Super communicative and was incredibly patient with my senior anxious dog. She was available last minute which was a huge life saver for us. Thank you so so much Javay, Murph misses you!”
“We are so happy with Ariel and grateful. She was very communicative with us. Our dogs were well taken care of. We came home to a clean home and happy days. We will definitely book her again.”
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.
“Victoria is such an amazing sitter! She has awesome energy and is so attentive! She sent so many photos and updates, stayed so active, and was so intuitive with getting our eternally dehydrated dog to drink water. She also was so helpful in our house and left everything exactly how she left it!”
“Audrianna took amazing care of my Buffy! She sent me pictures and videos While I was gone, and constantly kept me in the loop about when she was coming and going. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur babies!”
“Katie is great. I needed to extend my trip and she was able to help out. My apartment was as clean as a left it and my cat was super chill when I returned. I recommend Katie as an in-house cat sitter”
“Bennett was phenomenal. We have 3 kittens and needed someone to stay over to watch them. Incredibly responsive, very communicative, and even more so thoughtful, we were impressed by Bennett. Very willing to send several photos a day, tell you any updates as needed, and provide you the kind of peace of mind any pet owner wants to be able to enjoy their vacation without stressing over if their pets are okay.”
“If you’re looking for an amazing pet sitter, look no further. He’s been an absolute lifesaver for me! My two dogs and cat adore him, and it’s clear why. He’s super reliable, always showing up on time, and keeps me in the loop with regular updates. He takes the dogs on multiple walks and runs, and they have lots of play time. I feel totally at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly recommend!!”
About: I care for my Jewel as the 2nd child I never had! I have a strong love for dogs! I grew up with Pits, German Shepherd,Cockier Spaniel, poodles, etc. Caring for a fur baby is quite natural for me. I have Jewel an American pitbull terr. We allow our Jewel to sit on the couch in the rec room and I allow Jewel to sleep in my room. Your pet has the same privileges. We make sure our fur baby gets out and stretch her legs multiple times a day and she certainly eats more than twice a day! We protect our Jewel with consistent vet visits(VCA club) and she loves watching TV! Our home is homie. No worries here! After the first stay, your fur baby will get excited on the way back! They love it here! 😀 Pet care is very natural for me. I always make sure my Jewel is well kept and taken care of. Her needs are put into my daily schedule and I can surely add your fur baby. Jewel is given a bath twice a month and extra during spring and summer months. Bath time is very important for their skin care and hygiene. I have a very sweet girl to keep your fur baby occupied with fun. I also have an extra large crate to place your baby if they want some lone time or I need to step away. Everyone has potty breaks every 4-5 hours each day unless a specific schedule is requested. Jewel will show them the way around her home. I will always walk your baby on their leash due to them being in an unfamiliar place. I do not have a fenced yard but safety is always first here! I also sit with them during feedings to make sure everyone is eating their own food. I also have a charcoal filtered water fountain that all the fur babies love! It encourages them to drink more water each day.
About: Hi, I’m Aisha! I’m an experienced dog owner and former volunteer puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I raised and trained two Labrador Retrievers in preparation for advanced guide dog training. That experience taught me a great deal about canine behavior, positive reinforcement, consistency, socialization, and adapting to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to structured routines and plenty of companionship. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for—and that you feel completely comfortable while they’re with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. My schedule gives me the flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m comfortable planning my day around a pet’s established routine and making sure they receive consistent exercise, attention, playtime, and companionship. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. My yard is not fenced so there would no be off leash time outside while pet sitting here but I can do whatever you are comfortable with while sitting in your home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, exercise, playtime, medications or special instructions, and of course plenty of rubs and scritches! I’m patient and observant, and I adjust my approach based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort. My experience raising guide dogs also taught me the importance of consistency, structure, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe environment where a dog can feel comfortable and secure.
About: Hi, I’m Yvelene! I’ve been a proud dog mom for 5 years, so I know how important it is to find someone who truly cares. I treat every pet like family, whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles with updates and photos to keep you at ease. Reliable, loving, and ready to make your fur baby feel right at home! Pet care is part of my everyday life since I’ve been a dog mom for 5 years. I’m wide open and available Sunday through Wednesday, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the love, walks, and attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep routines consistent and respect their space. I can provide: Daily walks and potty breaks Feeding and fresh water refills Playtime and enrichment activities Administering oral medications (if needed) Regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing Whether at my place or yours, my goal is to make pets feel happy, secure, and loved—like their favorite human never left!
About: Your fur babies are important to you, and I want to help make sure their little puppy lives are just as happy when you're not there. I love cuddling with dogs, taking them for walks or on a trip to the dog park. I'm happy to help! I've had experience with dogs of all ages -- from puppies with strict schedules and bathing routines to elderly dogs with a medicine regime. I've helped maintain animal training patterns, sleep overs and just drop-ins on a daily basis. I love taking photos for daily updates! With me, there's no need to worry. I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pup's needs, even stay round the clock on weekends. I require at least 48 hour notice to accommodate requests, but am otherwise flexible! I work full-time in Sandy Springs Monday - Thursday; however, I work remote on Fridays and am available most nights and weekends. Especially Fridays, I can do midday pop-ins as well. In my home, pets have free range but I try to make it as close to your home needs as possible (example: they're more than welcome to sleep in bed with me, but if you have your dog crate-trained or not allowed on the bed, I'd follow the same rules). There's a little box area in the laundry room, which can be closed off. Our apartment has a senior cat, so home stays would need animals comfortable with cats. When it comes to the client's home, it's similar- whatever your animal's schedule and rules, I'll follow. I love taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood or just playing in the backyard. I can keep dogs close if they're leash aggressive or take them early mornings / late nights for fewer dog interactions if they're skiddish. I do prefer instructions and a walk-thru the first time I watch your pet to ensure I know where all food, litter/poop bags, medicines, and exits are. I find there are things we do so often it's muscle memory, so getting to walk through it together can trigger steps in routines not on the list :) Lastly, your home is just as important as your pet, so I prefer to keep your home as clean as I get it. Washing food and water bowls at night, wiping down counters... if you require overnight stays, I usually strip the bedding and put it in the laundry or wash it before leaving to ensure you have no worries things will be in order when you return.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain View
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,406 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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.
