“We were on the East Coast and off the grid for much of the week, with home renovations going on at the same time—and one of our dogs is a husky who’d happily take off into the foothills if given the chance. Vince handled everything like a total pro. He’s exactly who you want if leaving your pups stresses you out like it does me. Whatever he’s charging, it’s worth it for the peace of mind.”
“Tianyu (Scarlett) was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions — setting the tone for just how attentive and caring she is. She house sat and cared for Lola for 5 days, sending detailed daily updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”
“Rachel was fantastic. She started communicating before even arriving which is wonderful because it’s clear she cares. While we were gone she sent frequent photos and updates. Rachel was very thoughtful when taking our dog for walks (cognizant of the neighborhood dogs and owners). Our babies were well cared for and we are so thankful.”
“Elizabeth was AMAZING with our pets! My Maverick is not the easiest dog to come around as a stranger, but Elizabeth managed to establish a good rapport with him. She took notes during our first meet and greet which went a long way in giving us peace of mind while we were away. We came back to a spotless house, and she provided updates on the pets just the right amount… Not too often and not only when I asked. I am usually very nervous when I spend more than a few days away from the fur babies, but Elizabeth made it so easy to feel secure knowing my babies were in good hands. THANK YOU, Elizabeth! 10/10 will be booking again!”
“Vanessa was great! She stayed at our house for three nights to take care of our cat. She was on-time, responsive, and sent us photos multiple times throughout the day. We'd definitely book her again.”
“We booked Kristine as a house-sitter and dog-watcher for our 2 dogs. She did a great job taking care of them, sending us lots of pictures, and got them out of the house for walks a couple times a day. She took good care of our house. We will definitely book with Kristine again whenever we can!”
“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: Hey, from your dog's new favorite dog walker. My name is Meg and I absolutely love animals! I've been volunteering with shelters and fostering dogs and cats since I was 16 years old. I also have two of my own family dogs, a terrier named Dolly and a husky named Tika! Here in Chicago, I currently have my cat Goose. I have open availability outside of Monday through Friday, 2 - 7 PM, as I am a flag football coach. I love pets and have volunteered/fostered at shelters with cats, dogs, and small animals. I have a cat myself, who is pretty independent, but I will need to go & make sure he's doing well minimum of 1-2x a day if housesitting. I offer dog walking, cat & dog check-in visits, and house sitting. Check-in & house-sitting visits require an introductory appointment so you can feel comfortable with me; I can get to know you and your pet's needs, go over instructions and rules, and answer any additional questions or concerns!
“Edison is the best! Easy to work with, professional, and well versed in the area. We trust him 100% with Charlie and being in our home, and Charlie is always happy and tired afterwards. We’re keeping him on our roster, he’s a good egg.”
“Fantastic experience with Bryan and Reese. They are true professionals who excel at paying attention to every detail. They didn't just care for my dog's physical needs but truly loved her. What really set them apart was their talent for video creation. Instead of just standard updates, they sent beautifully edited videos of my dog set to music. It was such a thoughtful, high-quality touch that really captured my dog’s personality. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who goes above and beyond creatively and professionally, this is the team to call.”
“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.”
“This was our dog's first overnight stay with Donna, whom our dog adores, and we appreciate her very much, too! Donna has provided much needed help to our family on occasion, and she provided cute photos of our very happy dog. Safety is of primary importance to us all. Thank you, Donna!”
“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.”
“Darya was amazing! She sent me multiple daily updates with photos. The animals loved her right away which was very reassuring and she left my house very clean and even stripped the sheets! I will be using her again.”
“Elvira is fantastic, she's great with my dogs (they both absolutely love her) and she goes above and beyond to take care of them and keep their schedules as normal as possible!”
About: I grew up having large dogs, rabbits, cats and rodents. I love animals and I like to pet sit, do dog walking, housesitting and general pet care in my spare time. I’ve helped friends, neighbors and people just like you with all their pet care needs and I look forward to helping you! I currently work full time but am available early mornings and evenings Monday through Thursday. On Friday, Saturday and Sundays I’m available 24 hours a day. I have a few random times throughout the year where I have time off and will be available. I currently can not take pets in at my residence but while I’m caring or pet sitting for someone in their home, I go over all rules and instructions of the house and for the animal.
“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.”
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”

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. 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!
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!
Kristine did a great job with our GoldenDoodle and a friend's puppy. She showed up early, and did a great job in watching both dogs. One was pretty active and required a lot of attention as it was "play time". Kristine kept us informed throughout the evening with pictures of the pups and reassured us that all was well. We definitely recommend Kristine - she is mature, knowledgeable, and immediately bonded with the dogs.
Hannah was a wonderful sitter! We booked her last minute and it worked out really well. She came to our home to take care of our cat and her kittens. She communicated very well every day, sent several photos, and followed the instructions we left her. Our cats loved her! What I appreciated was that she did a meet and greet beforehand. The cats were cared for well and we’d love to have her sit again in the future.
Bruno and Chewie loved spending time with Brittney. She took loving care of them, gave them lots of pets and cuddles, took them on walks and helped Chewie get his medication too. She was very proactive in sending pictures and updates. I’ve never felt more at ease when I’ve been away, knowing that my babies were being cared for. Thank you Brittney, I hope we can book with you again.
Pierce was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Eva Jolie, Chloe, and Simba. It was clear from the moment we got home that they were well cared for, comfortable, and happy during their stay. Eva Jolie, Chloe, and Simba all seemed relaxed, content, and received plenty of love and attention. Pierce kept us updated. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We would not hesitate to trust Pierce with our dogs again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable pet caregiver.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 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.
