“Morgan saved us from a terrible situation with another sitter while we were in another country. She came into a situation that we didn’t understand nor did we have visibility to the state of our apartment. It was bad. Morgan worked with us and our dog tirelessly while dealing with a disgusting apartment from our previous sitter. She helped coordinate with a cleaner and she helped coordinate with my friend to check on our dog. She sent endless photos and updates. She was incredibly communicative, thorough, and we truly cannot recommend her enough. If you want peace of mind, choose Morgan.”
About: I provide active, attentive, and structured care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on exercise, comfort, and individualized attention. For dogs, I’m especially a great fit for higher-energy pets that need more activity and engagement. I provide: • 3 daily walks (typically 20 mins to 1 hour each depending on energy level and needs) • A large fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise • Plenty of interaction, playtime, and supervision throughout the day I also have extensive experience caring for cats and have raised 5+ cats over the years. For cats that prefer quieter environments or separation from dogs, I have a dedicated empty bedroom available to help them feel safe and relaxed. Additional care I can provide includes: • Brushing and de-shedding • Nail trimming • Basic dental cleaning (if tolerated) • Frequent updates with photos/videos I focus on quality care and take a limited number of pets so I can give each one more attention and a calmer experience. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, or evening visits. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your pet is cared for on time every visit. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that pets can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling pets gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your pets allows). I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I will keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit/activity. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
About: Animals have always been my best friend. My entire life I’ve been surrounded by animals, having 2-3 dogs & a cat at all times. I’ve been through the month old puppy stages & the rough old times. Dealt with tantrums and accidents, and loved them still all through it. I have been dog-sitting since I was 16 and still do to this day! Sleeping with them so they don’t get too lonely at night, checking in multiple times daily to feed, give water, play, cuddle, and take on walks. Currently, and for the past year, I walk 2 dogs together, every morning. There’s no job too big for me! I am very flexible and available during the days, week and weekends. I currently walk dogs from 10-11:30am, and the rest of the day and night I am free for however many check ins your doggo needs and for sleepovers! I have been housesitting with and without dogs for many years, so I am well prepared and comfortable with new environments and how to accommodate your household to your liking! I’m used to notes & or instructions on exactly how you wish for my stay to go, no needs are too big or small! I stick to common areas and outside, wherever your canine loves to roam.
“CJ took care of my dog Simón for 13 nights at my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, he was professional, attentive, and clearly caring with Simón. Throughout my time away, CJ kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. When I returned, Simón was happy and relaxed, and my home was just as I left it. I highly recommend CJ and would absolutely trust him to care for Simón again in the future. Thank you so much!”
About: Lifetime dog owner and animal lover, I’ve always loved getting to connect with new personalities. I’ve had experience caring for a pups at every stage of their lives. Most of my experience has come with senior dogs, and along with making sure they have frequent potty breaks during the night I’ve also had to administer medical care, with insulin shots or oral medication. My approach with dog care lies in patience, through this I’ve also been able to train many friends. I go at the pace of your dog, and am ready for energetic brisk walks, playtime, running, or I can also go slow and smell the roses or bushes. I try to be as flexible as possible to best address your pets’ needs. I am available Fridays and weekends. I am also free during the weekdays at certain windows of times, but if you don’t find something that works for you, please reach out and I can try to fit you in best as possible. I am balancing classes during the weekdays, so my available times vary a bit differently. I believe pets do best in their own environment, and I will do my best to follow your pets routine as closely as possible in order to minimize any stress. I always respect your home and am a reliable caretaker for your pet. Whatever special care is needed for your pet or space, I’m always prepared.
“This is our third time booking Ghazal, the second time for an extended period of time and we could not be happier. Ghazal genuinely adores our cat and caring for her and we get regular updates. We feel completely comfortable with her staying in our house. Will 100% book her again and again.”
About: I have multiple years' experience petsitting, dogwalking, and doing drop-in care for friends, family, and neighbors! My family has had many pets of our own and I've cared for senior animals, young kittens and puppies, and pets of all levels of shyness! I'm attentive and will give frequent updates on your pets! I currently work remotely and can petsit, drop-in, or walk all days of the week! My schedule is flexible, so I can adapt to your needs! I'm attentive and present, and will take good care of your pets and your home. I'm happy to walk your pet as far as they need and play with them plenty! I can also take care of other household responsibilities like watering plants or fetching mail if that's necessary. I'm very clean and respectful of other people's spaces, so you can trust me in your home. I'll return your home exactly as it was and your pet with great care! I work remotely, so I can keep an eye on your pets even when we're not actively playing or walking!
About: I've taken care of pets of all kinds for many years. As a dog owner and mom to teenage children, I'm used to dealing with whatever comes up. I'm always punctual, reliable, and I'll love your pets. I have several volunteer commitments, and teenage children, but I'm generally very flexible and can work with you to fit around your pets' needs. I can be there for the whole day, pop in for play and food, or go for long walks. I'm practical, reliable and always punctual. I'll leave your home as you left it and take such good care of your pets with whatever they need.
“Allyn house sit my my puppy and he absolutely loved her. She gave him lots of attention, walked him frequently and sent lots of pictures. My pup has epilepsy which requires timely medication administration and preparedness if there’s an episode. She treated his condition with the same seriousness I do, which is rare. She’s great and will be looking after Beurre again soon.”
“Damian was a great sitter for our two kitties, Lizzie and Mei Mei. He stayed at our house for 10 days and was very responsive, providing daily check ins, as well as extremely punctual and professional. We will definitely be reaching out to him next time we need cat sitting! The cats were comfortable and so happy when we got back.”
“Pratik took great care of Laddoo over two house-sitting stays. Laddoo can be shy with new people, and Pratik was patient with him and really put in the time to earn his trust. He kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, and it was great to see Laddoo become more comfortable and playful with him each day. Communication was easy, and I felt reassured knowing Laddoo was being looked after so thoughtfully. I was happy to book Pratik again after the first stay and would recommend him to other pet parents.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Shannon! We live in an RV fulltime, and wanted to take a quick trip without the RV. I was so grateful to learn that Shannon is very knowledgeable on RV living. She took great care of our dogs, cat, and RV while we were gone. She was easy to contact, came for a meet and greet, showed up on time, kept me updated with text and photos, and left our home cleaner than we left it. I would absolutely use her again when we come through the area.”
“Sometimes he does it in the backyard. Before the walk. I’m really glad to hear he’s doing well. And having fun. I’ll be heading home and arriving around… I can’t remember, maybe around eight or 8:30 PM. But no worries whenever you have to takeoff. He’ll be fine. Thanks again! Talk to you soon.”
About: I've cared for dogs my whole life, 12 years looking after my family's dog and watching friends' dogs during their vacations, handling everything from feeding and walks to overnight stays. I also spent a year living with a cat, so I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats. Animals are a genuine passion of mine, and daily walks are one of my favorite parts of the day. I have a flexible schedule and am mostly available for pet care, including walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I can work around your pet's routine and adjust as needed to fit their care into my day. I live in a comfortable apartment, which makes for a calm, quiet environment without a yard's distractions. I'm attentive to leash safety on walks and make sure pets feel secure and settled indoors.
“She took care of both my cats very well and even did some of the introduction process between the two. She also took the time to understand both of their personalities and preferences. She is very responsive and left my place better than it was before.”
About: I love pets of all kinds, and find it very rewarding to gain their trust and make sure they are living their best life while their owner is away! I have experience with small to medium-large dogs since childhood, and had a senior cat for the last 5 years. I am good at picking up on body language queues or behavior changes, especially in more subtle and shy pets. I have lots of experience with administering medications, including with dogs suspicious of pill wrap and cats who have figured out all nicer methods besides the pill gun/liquid syringe. I occasionally travel for contract work, but keep my calendar religiously up-to-date and have plenty of daytime/evening availability! The more time in advance I get, the more likely I can plan around your pet's needs and ensure availability. I make sure to ask the important questions upfront so to minimally disturb your time away! I also have a sixth sense for when pets get into things they aren't supposed to, and if house-sitting am attuned to their (& your belongings' lol) safety!
“Lauren was our first Rover experience and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was extremely kind and reassuring, communicative before, during, and after her visit, and treated our dog like her own. I couldn’t believe how attentive and thorough she was with her care of Goober; she walked him, played with him, practiced some training (taught him a new trick!), gave him his meds, fed him, and made sure he was tired out. She also expertly handled his misbehavior, which I was very grateful for. She is stellar, and I hope she’ll be willing to come hang out with Goober again, because now he (and we) are spoiled!”

Kristine does a great job. She manages our dog in our home, takes care of feeding and walks. We can tell by our dog’s reaction that Kristine takes good care of her, is paying attention to her and keeps us updated with pictures and text messages. We highly recommend her.
Yahui was amazing with our pets. She housesat our cat Mabel and dog Nibbles for a long weekend; we received lots of photos and videos of the pets, timely updates on feeding walks etc. she was even successful at giving our cat her morning medicine. Highly recommend her and trust that your pets will be cared for with her.
Madison dog/house sit for me while I was on vacation. She took very good care of my Australian Shepherd while I was away. Kept me updated with lots of photos. And was very respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend her and will definitely use her again when traveling.
Tiana took such wonderful care of my dog, Lio, and my home! This was my first time leaving my baby with a sitter, and I’m so glad I chose her. She kept me updated with so many photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Lio was happy and having so much fun with her! I left quite a few detailed care instructions, including brushing Lio’s teeth and weighing her in the morning, and Tiana did a great job with everything. She also gave Lio fun enrichment activities and even bought her a little lamb toy after noticing how much she loved one. That was such a thoughtful touch! On top of caring for Lio, she kept my home clean and tidy. I truly appreciated all the care and effort she put into both. I would absolutely recommend Tiana and would love to have her house-sit for us again. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby! 🐶💕
My dogs had a wonderful time with Subani and it was nice knowing that they were in good hands. She sent frequent updates, and when I got back, they were sad when she left. I always know that’s a good sign of a wonderful sitter. She got to know my pets so well and I will definitely be using her in the future!
Grant has watched our pets several times now, and every time has been the same. No worries. Never have to think about it while we are traveling. Grant holds down the fort and we know our pets are in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will continue to book with him.
Lauren was our first Rover experience and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was extremely kind and reassuring, communicative before, during, and after her visit, and treated our dog like her own.

Rachel was simply fantastic! She is super prepared, professional and communicative and we felt very comfortable leaving our two pups in her capable hands. She also treated our house responsibly and left it perfectly clean. We already have her rebooked to sit our pups for two more upcoming trips and there will be many more to come hopefully! Thank you Rachel!
Kartik was great with our dog Finn and our cat Theo! He was super communicative, sending us updates and photos every day we were away. I could relax on vacation knowing the fur kids were safe and having a blast. Finn and Theo would give him 10 stars if they could!

The average cost of House Sitting in Cupertino is $71 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $118 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Cupertino 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 Cupertino 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 Cupertino 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
