“Yvelene was amazing with communication while dropping in for my baby. It was nice feeling relieved I had someone professional and kind coming to my home to make sure my pup was taken care of. I highly recommend her!”
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 have experience with senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, high energy dogs, and more. 100% of my bookings will receive photos of their pets, and if my camera is working, I’ll leave behind a Polaroid of them as well! 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.
“Took care of the cats as requested and made sure to ask questions! She made sure to clean the litter box and provide the cats plenty of attention ! Great cat sitter and would definitely book again”
“Ben took excellent care of our dog, Ernie - he sent detailed updates and was very patient with our quirky rescue! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and thorough dog sitter!”
“Mary is wonderful and sweet, and was willing to take a rather long drive for us, due to location confusion in Rover settings at the time of booking. My dogs enjoyed her company, and she handled both German Shepherds well, one of which who is an extremely high energy and drive puppy. I highly recommend Mary.”
“Cecil was great! Our three cats are trouble makers but Cecil made it so that we didn’t have to worry about them while my husband and I were on our honeymoon! Will definitely be booking with Cecil in the future (:”
About: I am a dog lover who has cared and watched close friends dogs for no charge. I grew up with dogs in my home and have the experience with taking care of dogs all sizes. I am available full time to play with, care for, and run with your dog during those times. I am a recent graduate who is looking to earn some extra income with doing something that I love to do. I don’t have the funds to actually become a dog owner, but what makes me happy the most is to watch other people’s dogs and play with them. If you can do something for free, then I think that’s awesome. I think dogs are awesome and we make great friends. I’m currently working from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, provide belly rubs, etc for your pup. Your pup will have all the attention! When on walks around the neighborhood, I am totally aware of my surroundings. I will treat your pup as if he/she were one of my own. I will respect routines/schedules as it is outlined on the Rover profile. Your pup is in good hands and will be very comfortable.
“I can not say enough good things about Mary! I had an emergency situation, and Mary was able to drop in at a last-minute notice and did a fabulous job of keeping me in the loop. My cat loved her, and I will be booking her in the future.”
“Abbigail did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our kittens, Perry and Poppy! She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a natural way with animals—the kitties loved her. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. As it was holiday season, Abbigail even gave us sweet treats as a gift. Abbigail is the best. I’ll definitely be asking Abbigail to cat-sit again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
About: Growing up my coaches did Rover. I stayed with them very often and helped them take care of their 6 dogs as well as any pets they were taking care of for work. I am a full time college student saying at home. Majority of my code is held online so I am very flexible when it comes to pick up and drop offs! I will make sure to follow the pet parents instructions as no one knows their children better than the parent. I understand that all pets are different so it is important to pay special attention to direction.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pets for friends and family. I currently have two friendly doodles and a senior cat, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, ages, and needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates while they’re with me! My work schedule is flexible and varies throughout the week, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I do have some full workdays where I may be away for around 8 hours, so your dog should be comfortable being home during a normal workday. When I’m home, my dogs are usually right there with me, and your pup will be treated the same way. I’m available for boarding throughout the week and on weekends depending on my schedule. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly doodles who love having company! Dogs are treated like part of the family in my home and have plenty of indoor and outdoor time. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping and potty routine, and can crate them if that’s what they’re used to. I’ll also send plenty of pictures and updates so you know they’re happy and comfortable.
About: Hi, my name's Santana. I'm 24, and currently focusing on my art and independent business, which lets me have a flexible schedule. I've had a pet in my house my whole life and I absolutely love them. But, currently I cannot have one due to my roommates allergies. So, I'm more than excited to get to take care of yours!! I'm energetic when it comes to playing catch, and respectful when it comes to cleaning up after them. I can also just sit and give company to older pets if needed. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breads, so no need to worry about "scary breads", I love them all. I also have experience with cats, birds, fish, rabbits/bunnies, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I am currently working on a self-made schedule, so I have lots of room for scheduling flexibility, and/or short notice needs. Let me know if you have any concerns! Let me start by saying I love animals! I will care for your babies like I would care for my own. I currently do not have a home set up for boarding, but I am more than happy to come to you if possible!
“Kamron was awesome with our dog and friends dog that was staying over. We asked for a last minute drop in and Kamron came through! He left great feedback. It was such a relief having someone we could trust to check on them. He was super quick to respond. He also paid attention to detail and took great care in what we needed. We will use him again for sure! Above and beyond, excellent experience.”
About: I’m a dependable caregiver who takes pride in providing safe, structured, and loving care. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and comfort, and I’m always gentle and respectful with every animal I meet. You can count on me for punctuality, clear updates, and a calm presence that helps pets feel secure while you’re away. As a dog lover and owner, I possess expertise in pet care. I volunteer in an animal hospital called Columbia Belvedere Animal Hospital, where I shadow the vet and perform other tasks like water, walking , bathing, administering medicine, cleaning , and assisting with front desk work. I am home throughout the entire week and ready to take care of your amazing pet. I am available whenever you need me. I am very excited to be your dog's caretaker. I make pet care a natural part of my weekly routine. I’m already used to structuring my days around responsibility, so adding walks, feedings, playtime, and check‑ins fits smoothly into my schedule. I plan ahead, stay organized, and make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon drop‑ins, or weekend stays, I’m able to give pets the time, patience, and energy they need to feel comfortable and cared for. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I follow all instructions exactly feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any house rules you have in place. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and calm companionship. I keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Hi there! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, caring for pets like dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I’m currently in college studying to become a vet tech and work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I care for pets of all sizes and personalities. I started pet sitting in August of last year and have loved every second of it! I provide personalized care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, and I treat every pet like family. Let me know how I can help care for your furry friends—I’d love to meet them! I am currently a student, and my work schedule varies weekly, typically ranging between 6:00 AM and 6:30 PM. However, I pride myself on being highly flexible and am happy to accommodate your needs with clear and timely communication. I currently have two dogs at home—a pit mix and a greyhound mix. My pit mix does not get along with other dogs, so I have experience managing and keeping dogs safely separated when necessary. I am also experienced in administering medications and ensuring pets receive the care they need. Additionally, I provide detailed updates and photos throughout the day to keep you informed and at ease.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain View
We were so lucky to find Elizabeth!! My aunt passed away, which left her pets without care. Elizabeth did not hesitate to step in and offer the best care while we searched for new homes for the animals. Kind, responsible, and just outright cool. You're lucky if you get the chance to book with Elizabeth. 5 stars all around!!
Daniel was great! He was very accommodating to my pups needs and went the extra mile for her and I. When my dog refused to go out in wet grass, he made a third trip back to ensure she was comfortable and accident-free overnight. I really appreciated his extra care and highly recommend him!!
Sean was our first experience hiring someone to look after our girls. He was extremely responsive, kept us updated, and spent time with our babies. One of them consistently had accidents while we were gone but Sean took care of it every single day no problem. He made sure to spend some time with them in the yard and gave them some brushing due to it being shedding season! Since he lives close to us, he would pop by in to check on them in the afternoon. One of our babies started showing some scary symptoms our last night of vacation and Sean cared as if it was one of his own babies. Sean was fantastic and we highly recommend hiring him!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Mountain View
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 6,834 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mountain View. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mountain View. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
