“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.
“What can I say?!? Michelle went above and beyond. Our dog Pliny got sprayed by a skunk during the booking, and without missing a beat Michelle bathed her well, started washing the towels and blankets, and kept us posted through the whole thing. She took good care of her, and we appreciate her dealing with this very awful event. Highly recommend! Thanks again Michelle!”
“CJ is a great pet sitter. He is extremely responsible and reaches out anytime there is a question related to the care of the pets (we have one dog and two cats). He gets to know the animals and their preferences. I would definitely suggest CJ to other people.”
“Ghazaal took great care of Bella and the house! Sent us frequent updates and multiple pics throughout the day so we wouldn’t miss our pup. The house was so clean when we got back that it seemed like no one had stayed. Thank you so much, Ghazaal! Looking forward to Bella’s next stay with you!”
About: Build Trust| Detail Oriented | Communication I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who truly understands how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone else. Building trusted relationships with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I communicate clearly and consistently, and I always provide frequent updates with photos, videos, and detailed notes so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away. I’m very detail-oriented and make sure to follow each pet’s routine, preferences, and care instructions closely. I grew up with dogs and have many years of experience helping friends care for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I naturally get along well with animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company and making them feel safe. I’m patient and gentle, especially with shy or anxious pets, and I always let them warm up at their own pace. I’m reliable, punctual, and respectful of your home, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’d love to meet you and your pet and help make your time away worry-free. I’m able to work from home and it makes my schedule flexible. I’m available during the days/nights, weekends, holidays. I will work around your schedule. Please reach out and we can work out a schedule. I’m starting recently on rover. I will begin to care for pets in my home. It’s a walkable neighborhood and close to plenty of dog parks.
“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: Ready to provide careful attention to your pup's needs. Contact us to check availability, and book your sit today! I am a former EMT trained in pet rescue. Experience with regular medication. I have a 22lbs dog that can accompany visits for socialization if the client wishes. Please be aware that I will not take dogs on long walks when the temperate is over 80 degrees for their safety. If your dog needs a walk in the summer, mornings are best. NO unneutered males. Females in heat will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Available weekdays after 8:30am, preferably mornings for the sake of the pups. Can pop by as late as 9pm, depending on location. Contact for more details. Client instructions are key. You tell me what you need, and I can make it happen. Note that I currently do not have a vehicle, so all walks are local to your neighborhood.
“I truly can’t say enough good things about Jaime! From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly communicative — sending thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The biggest testament to her care? I came home to a happy, relaxed fur child who genuinely seemed like they hadn’t even noticed I was gone. That tells me everything I need to know about how loved and comfortable my child felt in her care. It’s not easy trusting someone with your furry family member, but she made it effortless. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter — and I would love to use her again anytime I need support. So grateful to have found her!”
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.
“Diana was excellent housesitting my two dogs Daisy and Uno. She asked all the right questions before I left town to ensure the sit would go smoothly and she sent updates twice a day every day. Overall a great experience, would recommend”
About: I had my Maltese, Solomon, for 12 wonderful years and cared for him throughout every stage of his life, including his senior years. He recently passed away, and while I’m not ready for another dog of my own yet, I really miss having dogs in my life and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I’m experienced with senior dogs, medications, feeding routines, walks, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone, and I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I gave Solomon. Schedule: I’ll only care for one dog at a time, so your pup will have my full attention. I live right by two parks, so I can provide plenty of walks, outdoor time, and potty breaks throughout the day. When your dog is staying with me, I will be home with them at all times and will not leave them alone. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I only accept one dog at a time so I can provide individualized care and constant supervision. Your dog will never be left home alone while in my care. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and sleep routines so they feel as comfortable and secure as possible.
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.
“Kiana was great! I was in a last minute panic because my dog Finn got sick and couldnt go to day care, but has separation anxiety so I really needed coverage last minute. Kiana was a big help and flexible, adjusting as needed to help me and Finn get through the worst of it.”
“Christy stayed at our place for nearly a month and took outstanding care of our dog, Creambo. Thanks to Christy, we were able to enjoy our time away, knowing Creambo was getting the best care. She ensured our dog received her regular medication, had daily walks, and kept our home clean and tidy. On top of that, communication was smooth throughout. We’ll definitely have her back in the future. Thank you, Christy! Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup for more than a few hours, and she set our minds at ease immediately, and our dog loved her from the start. She is incredibly kind and professional, and totally gets our dog’s idiosyncrasies!”
“Inga met with us a couple of days before the start of the booking and it was immediately clear that she was good with dogs as our duo can be a little picky but they got along with her well. She also asked a lot of questions about the dogs, which made us feel more at ease. We were traveling out of town and Inga arrived earlier than asked to ensure there were no problems, sent us several updates with photos and videos of our dogs each day, and it was clear from them (and once we came back) that our dogs really liked her. Would highly recommend for anyone else and hopefully we'll be able to have Inga dogsit for us in the future as well.”

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. 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!
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.

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.
