“We needed a drop in sitter on very short notice and Wenran was wonderful. She was punctual, followed all instructions, and was very communicative. Best of all, our pets loved her. We will definitely book again!”
“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 :).”
“Kiana did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! She was incredibly communicative and asked lots of questions to ensure proper care. She has been very easy to work with and we plan to ask her for help when we are out of town in the future!”
“Repeat client here! Tingchia is reliable and trustworthy. Couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for my senior kitty when we’re away. Highly recommend & will definitely book again!!”
“Yunseo was excellent with dogs during the drop-in visits! She communicated clearly and gave consistent updates with pictures each time. She made sure everything was understood by asking questions to provide the best care possible for our dogs. I'd recommend Yunseo for fellow neighbors in the area!”
“Conner was great! Reliable, communicative, and he asked all the right questions. He even visited our home an extra time to bring in a perishable package that we'd forgotten was going to be delivered. His daily reports on how our cats were doing were excellent--just the right amount of detail. I'd recommend him without reservation.”
“Athena was wonderfully responsive, and when our automatic feeder stopped working Athena was able to arrange an extra visit to troubleshoot the feeder make sure our cat, Augustine, was well fed and taken care of.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and I have 13 years of personal experience caring for dogs. I’m also a proud dog mom to my Chihuahua, Freddy, who has taught me just how much love, patience, and attention our furry family members deserve. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness, patience, and care I give my own. I currently work full-time, but caring for animals has always been a big part of my life! I have my own little Chihuahua, so spending time with dogs, going on walks, and making sure they feel loved and comfortable is already part of my daily routine. My availability varies depending on my work schedule, but I’m happy to coordinate in advance to make sure your furry friend gets the time, attention, and care they deserve! As a dog mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. Whether I’m caring for your pet, my priority is to create a safe, peaceful, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing!
“Emily not just loves cats but is also very knowledgeable about how to best handle them. I can tell our cat really liked Emily’s company and trusted her, that’s the very thing we expect from an ideal pet sitter. Highly recommend Emily.”
About: In January, I said goodbye to my sweet girl after 13 wonderful years together. I miss her every day, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog of my own, I have so much love and attention to share. I’d love to take your dog on walks, keep them company, and give them plenty of affection while you’re away. Having loved a dog for so many years, I understand how much they mean to you, and I’d care for yours with the kindness and attention I’d want for my own. I work full-time, but most of my evenings and weekends are free. I really miss taking dogs on walks and enjoying the company of both dogs and cats, so I’d love to spend some of that time giving your pets extra care and attention. While I’m not available for overnight care, I can pick up your dog from home for a walk and bring them back afterward—perfect for evenings when you’re working late or have a busy schedule. I can also stop by to keep your cats company and give them some extra love and attention while you’re away.
About: I am a passionate dog enthusiast dedicated to providing exceptional pet care services. I understand how important your furry friend is to your family, and I am here to ensure they receive the love, attention, and exercise they need while you are away. I work a full-time remote job, which gives me the flexibility to dog walk right after work or during my lunch breaks. I used to own a purebred golden retriever named Coco. He was a part of my life for 16 years. During that time I honed my professional skills as a dog walker, feeder and occasional nurse when he got sick as he got older. I treat all animals with the same respect I’d treat a human being, even more so sometimes! I love to enjoy the outdoors and walk so I figured I might as well have some company while I do so! I would walk anytime after my first remote job ends or during my lunch break :) On occasion I may offer dog sitting at my home. I have a two bedroom apt with an Australian Cattle puppy. I have taken care of hamsters for the past 3 years :)
About: I have three dogs currently I am caring for, they are treated like my own kids oldest is 9 years old. Prior to adopting my first, I worked at Ace Animal Hospital as reception and a procedure care assistant. I work a full time job, but have plenty of time on the weekends and afternoons to play/walk with your pups. Open to reoccurring work where it makes sense, for your family. I am a good judge of animal temperament from my experience working at the vet, and can ensure that the experience will be beneficial to your family. I am adept in routine feeding, care administration, and active play with your doggos.
“Excellent as always. Third time take care of my fur babies and very happy. Great communication and cat care. Cleaned up after one of them vomited and drew some ants. Made my trip way less stressful. Thank you.”
About: I have grown up with pet and have experience caring for cats, a dog and a parrot. I currently care for two American Shorthair cats and have raised them from kittens to 3.5 years old. I am responsible for their feeding, fresh water, litter box care, plenty of playtime, and monitoring their health. I bring the pets to the veterinarian and providing careful at-home care when they are unwell. While my profile currently features my cats, I actually grew up around a dog and I was very familiar with her behaviors and needs. I chose to share my cats because they are my current family members. I am patient, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I am offer drop-in pet care, I always follow the owner's instructions carefully and treat every pet as my own and I also make sure to clean and organize the space after each visit to maintain a safe and tidy environment.

I’ve worked in veterinary care for over 5 years and look forward to being your pet’s best friend. I am new to the area and currently job searching so my schedule is quite flexible!

Zihan was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and responsible throughout the entire booking. Not only did she take great care of all the essentials, but she also genuinely cared about my cat’s overall well-being and paid attention to all the little details. Her detailed updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Both my cat and I were very happy with her care! I would highly recommend Zihan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
I had such a wonderful experience with Dawn! She took amazing care of our two shy kittens and was incredibly patient and gentle with them. One of our cats is especially shy and usually hides from everyone, but she took the time to give them plenty of space and let them come out at their own pace. It was so heartwarming to see them gradually become more comfortable with her! She also sent us detailed updates and photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was very thoughtful, responsible, and clearly genuinely cared about our cats. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!
Fereshteh was wonderful! We had to book her last minute, but she took the time to understand all of Luna's needs and cared for her so well. Seeing her regular updates allowed us to truly relax on our trip. Luna connected with her instantly, which gave us total peace of mind. We highly recommend Fereshteh and will definitely be booking her again!
Kenny was wonderful with communication / updates / accommodations for our cat during our 4 day trip! We were worried because this was her first time without us for so long, but he took such good care of her that she was in great spirits when we got home. Thank you Kenny!
Isabel took great care of our cat Mayson while my husband and I were away for the weekend. She was friendly, responsible, and sent us lots of photos. When we came back, Mayson was happy and relaxed, and it seemed he didn't notice we were gone at all. Highly recommend hiring Isabel as your sitter!
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!
Leonardo was great! He was very flexible with the timing as my plans were very volatile. He took the dogs on multiple walks throughout the day and even double checked their feeding and care instructions to make sure they were taken care of properly! He was great with communication and handled both of our high energy pups perfectly! I would definitely use him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alviso is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 8,329 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alviso. 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 Alviso. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
