Dianne was awesome! Our dogs were well taken care of and she sent pictures/updates of how they were doing. Of course there was a bad Kona wind/rain storm brewing as we left for Honolulu but she was a champ and said I got this. Our dogs were stuck inside most of the time and she just simply loved them up and gave them so much attention they aren’t going to like us anymore! Will definitely use Dianne again…she’s great!

Cathy was good at sending updates and was very attentive to the dogs. she noticed one wasn't going to the bathroom and went above and beyond to get some pumpkin to feed them. she was very clean and left the house in really good shape. she also stayed an extra day for us as we were unable to make it back the day before. She is a lifesaver and we would highly recommend booking Cathy. we will definitely be using her again in the future.

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my life, and wanted to be a Veterinarian since I was little. I have worked at multiple humane societies caring for the dogs, and have an array of experience through schooling, and an externship at a Pet Clinic. I care deeply for animals of all types, and I would like to spend the rest of my life ensuring their wellbeing, and protection. I am confident that I can provide quality care for your furry babies, and make sure they are comfortable and happy! I have a keen eye for observing their behaviors/tendencies, so this will be important if they seem to be in pain or discomfort. I only want the best for your pet since I understand the importance of their companionship.

About: I've spent most of my life surrounded by animals, mostly dogs and cats and occasionally some fish in a tank. I am good at following directions for care given to me or written down and am fine to spend a day alone save for a menagerie of animals. Currently, I am taking a gap year from school to work on my art and writing, this means that I have plenty of time available to run around and play with your pets and take care of your plants I am good at following directions for care given to me or written down and am fine to spend a day alone save for a menagerie of animals.

Best pet sitters I've found on the island! They LOVE dogs, which is really the most important thing. And they're very friendly and easy to work with. Plus, they have a ton of experience pet-sitting, so they aren't easily ruffled. Definitely consider Jody when you're looking for a pet sitter on the Big Island!

About: I have been around and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. This care has included walking, feeding, bathing, nail clipping, and maintaining proper sanitation. Being the son of a veterinarian, I also grew up learning the basics on animal first aid, administering routine medications, and caring for senior animals with mobility issues. I currently care for dogs and cats with special needs including skin dermatitis and allergies as well as diabetes. More specifically, I have experience administering sub-cutaneous injections and monitoring blood-glucose levels in cats. I currently work full-time as a research biologist, but typically have a flexible schedule during the week, particularly in the mornings and evenings. My weekends are typically free for any pet care needs. I care for pets based on what the client wants. This includes basic care (feeding, sanitation, exercise) as well as any special treatment the client requests.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m available for both house sitting and pet sitting. Im located on the east side of Big island and am flexible with traveling. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your home and pets in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! If you have any questions or concerns please reach out Corinne Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part time as a driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to travel to care for pets when needed. I’m able to adjust my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s stopping by for visits or staying overnight, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t currently have pets of my own because I rent, so my focus is on caring for pets in their own homes where they’re most comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I also make sure to keep your home clean and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care and help your pets feel safe, happy, and relaxed until you return.

About: For over five decades, I’ve had the joy and privilege of caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. What began as a childhood love for animals has grown into a lifelong passion and profession. From raising litters of puppies to gently bottle-feeding orphaned kittens, and from grooming horses to tending to backyard chickens, I’ve experienced nearly every aspect of pet care. My journey includes extensive hands-on experience with dogs, cats, turtles, fish, horses, cattle, and chickens. Whether it’s managing the complex needs of a senior dog, administering medication to a diabetic cat, or ensuring a horse’s hooves are properly cleaned and checked, I bring a deep well of knowledge, calm confidence, and loving patience to every animal I care for. Throughout my career, I’ve worked on farms, in veterinary settings, and as a full-time pet sitter. I’ve handled emergency situations, special needs animals, and high-energy breeds. I know the importance of not just feeding and walking pets, but understanding their behavior, emotional needs, and unique personalities. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I work part-time remotely from home on my own flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and personalized care throughout the day. I’m a true homebody who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, so pets are rarely left alone for long. My flexible lifestyle allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive consistent care, love, exercise, and a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and treated like family. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm, and supervised environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship throughout the day. My five friendly, well-socialized pets can provide positive interaction for social animals, while pets who prefer quiet time can enjoy a separate yard or their own space. If your pet is crate-trained or you prefer they be crated during meals, bedtime, or when appropriate, I’m happy to follow their normal routine. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and reduces stress. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your home and follow your pet’s established schedule as closely as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, bedtime routines, and favorite activities to help your pet feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I’ll also make sure doors, gates, and fences remain secure, clean up after your pet, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and keep you updated while you’re away. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their personality, energy level, medical needs, and comfort level around other animals. Whether your companion loves to play, enjoys quiet naps, or requires extra patience due to age or special needs, I’ll provide personalized care that helps them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My goal is to earn your trust by providing dependable care and giving you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mountain View

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Mountain View on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 72 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mountain View. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
