“Dawn is the best cat sitter we've ever had! She leaves thoughtful comments, spends quality time with the cats, is communicative, and even kept our house clean while we were gone for a month. I recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will go above and beyond to keep you at ease while you're away.”
“Jiamin is the best pet sitter ever! One of the things I appreciated most was how much attention and affection Jiamin gave to my cat. On top of that, Jiamin wrote a River Card after every visit and included tons of pictures and videos. My cat looked like he was having an amazing time—honestly, even more fun than he usually has with me, lol. Jiamin also noticed that my cat might benefit from having more companionship. Because of that, I requested an additional last-minute visit, and Jiamin was kind enough to accommodate it. I could feel the care and affection in every visit, and my cat definitely loved Jiamin.”
“Sierra was great! She responded quickly to my last minute booking and was super accommodating. She sent lots of pictures and videos and filled me in on Coco while I was on vacation. I would definitely recommend her to others!”
About: I've been caring for pets since 2019. I previously owned two cats, who now live with my family after I relocated. Caring for them taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and behaviors. I've also cared for both cats and dogs for 5–6 friends while they were away, with my longest pet-sitting stay lasting over two months. I've cared for pets with different energy levels and personalities, and I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and following any special care instructions. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to detail. Whether it's a cat or a dog, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays and weekends for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and longer-term care. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule while keeping your pet's daily routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priorities. Having cared for both cats and dogs, I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. I'll carefully follow your care instructions, maintain a clean and safe environment, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication, or extra attention for shy or senior pets, I'm happy to help. I'll also send regular photo and video updates to give you peace of mind. I'm comfortable caring for shy, senior, or high-energy pets, and I'll always let them interact at their own pace without forcing attention.
“Erjin arrived on time every day, and he was patient enough to try and play with my cat — who is very very shy. Purla doesn’t open up easily, but by the last day Erjin was able to play with her! I highly recommend Erjin :).”
“Jade was an amazing sitter! Both of my cats loved her, one cat gave would climb onto her shoulder to give her hugs each day and the other cat would lay in her lap and drool in relaxation. The best part of my time away was getting the photo updates from Jade. It was super easy to coordinate with Jade and she is on top of all details. I highly recommend her to watch your pet!”
“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”
“Stephen was absolutely amazing with my cat ! I booked Stephen last minute for 6 days . I am glad he was available. I could not have found a better sitter for my cat. He made sure to feed and refill my cat’s food and water while I was gone. He sent tons of pictures and very responsible in communicating with me over the Rover app! He checked in timely and was extremely professional, he spent a lot of time playing with my cat! I will definitely book him again”
“Athena was fantastic! We had a sitter drop out two days before our trip and Athena responded promptly, came over for an initial visit and took great care of our two cats and house while we were gone for 2 weeks. We will be using her again, and I highly recommend her for your pets!!”
“Tingchia is truly a lifesaver! We booked her for drop-in visits with our senior kitty, Chunky, and she was incredible from start to finish. She was able to accommodate a last-minute request and even came by early, which helped us out so much while we were away for the weekend. Chunky is usually very shy and timid, so we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly he warmed up to her. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Tingchia followed every instruction carefully and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Tingchia for drop-in visits. She’s reliable, responsive, and genuinely caring. Thank you again, Tingchia!”
“Omar is incredible with our little cat, Cosmo! Our boy loves him and Omar is very attentive and communicative, letting us know how his litter is looking, if he’s eating alright, and if he seems comfortable/playful as normal. We get tons of photos every day, and we’ve noticed the care Omar puts into being in our home, too! Cosmo always has a fresh pot of cat grass planted after visits with Omar, and we notice litter vacuuming as well. Above and beyond for us!! If we can help it, Omar will always be our go-to for care.”
“I would highly recommend Zhengjun when considering someone to take care of your pet. Zhengjun stepped up and took over for my original sitter when that arrangement didn’t work out properly. Without Zhengjun’s assistance we would have been in a real predicament. So thank you Zhengjun for stepping up and saving the day!!”
“Zihan is amazing! She came through for me in a pinch when my cats’ auto feeder ran out of food and I needed an emergency drop-in. She handled it without any fuss and went above and beyond by giving my cats treats and some playtime too. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter!”
“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”

I will diligently follow any house rules imposed by the homeowner and clean up any messes that occur during my stay.

“I cannot say this enough, but we were extremely fortunate to have found Melissa. She is very considerate. Upon meeting her, it is immediately obvious that her love for animals is genuine and runs deep. Melissa is a pleasure to communicate with. When there were technical difficulties with the app, Melissa went out of her way to contact me directly to keep us updated while we were on vacation. The piece of mind that comes from knowing that your furry family members are being well cared for is nigh-invaluable! Melissa is a true professional.”

Erjin went above and beyond taking care of my cats while I was away. Erjin pays incredible attention to the small details, keeps everything spotless around the house, even wearing shoe covers indoors, and kept me thoroughly updated with every visit. Highly recommend this service to anyone looking for reliable and meticulous care!
Samantha did an amazing job watching our pets! She always responded promptly to any messages and asked lots of great questions when she came to meet them. We are so happy to have found someone in the area who enjoys watching reptiles and is knowledgeable about their care! We will definitely have Samantha continue to watch our pets when we are out of town!
Sierra is amazing, as always! I’ve rebooked with her because she makes the entire experience so seamless. She genuinely enjoys spending time with the cats, takes wonderful care of them, and makes them feel loved. I could definitely tell the kittens missed her when I came home! She also went above and beyond, for example, the kittens had opened a box, and she thoughtfully closed and secured it. I’m so glad to have found someone as caring and dependable as Sierra. Highly recommend!
Both my cats love Mingjie, which shows what a good sitter she is (because one of my cats is super shy but he totally remembered her from 3 months ago!) She plays with my kitties so much and takes tons of photos! I no longer have to worry when I have to go away because I know my cats are in good hands!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Alviso on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
