“Amazing 2 weeks house, dog and cat sitting by Rachel. Incredibly communicative, sends LOTS of photos, and really understands how important her job is to care our babies and home. Exceptional care of everything and handled any and all unexpected circumstances with grace and grit. Would 100% recommend and use again!”
“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! 🐾”
“As a first time rover user i was pretty hesitant to use the app, but Tiana has ensured that i use it more going forward. She is prompt, shares lots of pet pics while im away, and i think my cat ended up missing her when i got back”
“Before this, I was very nervous as my dog Rupert had never been house sat before and he is a super shy and apprehensive dog. But as soon as Kristine came to say hi to Rupert, all my worries vanished. She was so gentle and kind with him and gave him all the space he needed. Rupert takes a very long time to warm up to new people but based on Kristine’s photos and updates it was very clear Rupert had become super comfortable with Kristine over only a few hours together. Talking of photos - she provides many photos which made me very reassured and it was clear Rupert was having a great time with Kristine. Honestly feel so grateful to her because previously my partner and I felt like we could not leave the house without worrying about my dog who has big separation anxiety and gets terrified at doggy daycare. This first rover experience was so wonderful we know this is an option for us now! Thank you so much Kristine!”
“Devin went above and beyond, providing exceptional care for my fur babies while I was away. Their attention to detail and communication skills were top-notch. My cats were happy and well-cared for when I returned home. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.”
“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.”
About: I’m super responsible, caring, and I love all animals. I have a 2 year old cat who I raised from when she was 6 months old. I also like to foster kittens. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can do drop by visits. Let me know any habits your pet has such as their routine, medications, favorite activities, etc. so I can be prepared to take better care of them. I work from home and often go on walks in the morning and late afternoon at the parks near my home. I can also do drop in visits at those times. I am very patient, attentive, and will take good care of your pet during visits or longer term stays. I am able to provide a separate space for them to relax or be by themself. I can handle dogs up to 85lbs.
“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.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was about 8, and being around them has always been a big part of my life. I grew up with a beagle, and now I share my home with a chihuahua mix and a labrador mix, so I’m familiar with the needs of both small and large breeds. Over the years I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, routines, and keeping their dog's company. Spending time with so many different dogs has helped me understand their personalities and make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and supported. I’m currently taking online classes, and since those are fully remote, I have flexible availability throughout the day. I can easily fit in walks, drop‑in visits, or house sitting depending on what your pet needs. My schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and present for your pet’s routine. I prioritize safety and comfort during every walk, drop‑in, and house‑sitting stay. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use secure leash habits, and keep a calm, tidy environment in your home. I also care for two dogs of my own, keeping them on a consistent routine with daily walks and scheduled feeding, so I understand how important structure is for keeping pets happy and comfortable.
“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.”
“Grant was great. Not only did he keep Athena fed, walked, and safe, he also worked with her regarding various training issues, like having her wait at the door for permission to go through, barking, etc. She liked him the moment she met him, and he let me know how she was doing.”
“Diane did a great job watching Zeus in our home while we were away for an extended weekend. She gave us daily photo updates, and had no problem with bulldog maintenance (Zeus’s wrinkles looked great when we got back!). We would reach out to Diane again for pup care- recommended!”
“Highly recommend Donna as both a dog and house sitter. My plants did better while I was gone than when I'm at home, the house was perfectly clean, and I got lots of sweet photos during our time away. Donna responds quickly to messages, shows up on time, and was willing to put in the time to get to know our reactive pup. So grateful to have found such a great dog sitter!”
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 cat’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your cat is cared for on time every visit, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended care. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling cats gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your cat 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. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cupertino
Tiana is awesome! This was our first exporting a pet sitter for our 55lbs puppy and have to say it couldn’t have gone better. Tiana kept the schedule with Chelsie as I requested and sent me updates throughout. Chelsie Sarang was very calm and content when we got home. Tiana was also very flexible in her schedules to accommodate our changing needs as we’re going to watch USA advance to sweet 16! And traffic was horrible. And Tiana was very flexible coming earlier and stayed as long as she needed to.
Rachel was an amazing sitter! She was attentive, great at communicating and took such good care of our fur baby Charlie! This was our first time having a Rover sitter and we were very skeptical at first, but Rachel made us feel super comfortable and made sure to update us throughout our trip. Our boy Charlie had a blast playing with her. We have already re-booked Rachel for our next upcoming trip! 10/10 service and would 100% recommend!
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.
Edison did an excellent job taking care of Koda in my home. I really appreciated that after getting to know Koda, he introduced him to a couple of his dogs and gave him some social experience. Edison understands different dog breeds and their personalities which allows him to provide personalized care.
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.

Melanie did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, cat, and parakeets when our family went on a trip to Mexico. She sent pics and a recap of activities each day so we could follow along on our pets’ week. Melanie is super responsible and we recommend her for pet and house sitting!
Marta is and will forever be our first call when we need someone to watch our two little senior dogs! They are extremely nervous and shy, but they adore Marta and became so comfortable with her so quickly. Marta is organized, detailed, kind, and sends us many updates and photos when are gone. She goes above and beyond when house sitting for us, taking care of helpful tasks without even being asked. Hire Marta - you will not regret it!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cupertino
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cupertino on Rover is $78.23 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,427 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cupertino. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
