“Ayshah is truly one of the best sitters I’ve found on rover. I believe she goes above and beyond for both you as a pet parent AND your dog. So impressive, highly highly recommend.”
“Mikayla watched all three of our dogs in our home, and they had such a great time with her! They warmed up quick to her, and she took great care of them! She was very communicative/responsive throughout the stay, provided lots of photos, and was very respectful of our home. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their pups!”
“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!!!!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Arnoldo has watched my dog a few times now and is the perfect sitter for him. Because Ernie has separation anxiety, he requires house sitting while I run errands. Arnoldo is super communicative and shares updates throughout his stay, which always gives me peace of mind. Will definitely continue to book Arnoldo!”
“Kristaina was great!! She was available on short notice, during thanksgiving! She was responsive and gave updates throughout the day. She also sent pictures throughout the day. I will definitely be using Krsitana again in the future”
“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.”

“Kiara was an excellent doggie and house sitter for us while on vacation. She was communicative and kept me updated on the dogs while we were gone. Would highly recommend working with her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Anisha was the absolute best! As a first time Rover user we were nervous and she sent continuous updates and pictures that eased our minds. Her two pups were so sweet to our dog as well and we were so grateful our dog had the chance to play with others. Truly a great first experience!”
About: Instead of the usual walk , lets take your dog on a run ! Together we can run up to a hour - with breaks and water of course . I run five times a week - sometimes at sunrise and sometimes in the evening . I usually work in the late morning and early afternoon . I follow the instructions and preferences of the client while also being mindful of the pet . I read the room to see if they're playful , anxious , high or low energy etc .
About: I’ve been the go-to house & pet-sitter for my friends and family for around 10 years. I have experience with dogs and cats. I’ve been described as a gentle soul who really makes sure the pets are appreciated 🤗. I’m currently in an X-ray school program so I am just looking for something to do on the side while I’m studying. I am usually in school Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 7am-1pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I do clinical rotations from 8am-4pm. I can look after your babies in between those hours! I make sure to give plenty of attention to the dogs and cats but also meet them where they’re at as well. For dogs, I make sure that they are adequately worked and can administer medication if needed. For the kitties, the litter box stays clean and eating routines are followed on a dime. In sum, I try my best to make the animals feel supported and not anxious.
“Kasianay is the BEST sitter we’ve ever had and we’ve had quite a few! We were traveling for our wedding out of town and Kasianay was super attentive, provided ample updates, left our house better than when we left! I can’t say enough about her and we will definitely use her in the future!”
“Desiree was fantastic! Genuinely kind and caring. She was communicative and sent us daily updates to help us soothe any anxiety about being away from home. We felt safe leaving our pets in her hands. Our dogs and cat all have pretty big personalities, and she met them where they were! We would definitely have her back!”
“Hannah is amazing! She is very communicative and put all of our crew at easy. She sends plenty of updates and pictures of our doofuses chilling and playing and even some funny face candids. Would 100% recommend for dogs AND cats...because we have plenty of both and she takes good care of them.”
“Our pets were well taken care of and we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away on vacation! We came home to happy pets and a clean well cared for home. Thank you so much Ariel!”
“Rian was very professional and considerate of our dog's routine and special needs (reactive and on medication 3x/day). We hired Rian to house sit/watch our dog while we were out of town and also booked a few walks with her ahead of time. Rian was very nice and communicated with us regularly. Our dog is slow to warm up to new people and Rian was very understanding and patient with her, which we greatly appreciated. I'd highly recommend Rian!”

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mountain View
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,356 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
