“We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter! This was a 21-day reservation with daily visits to care for our two cats, so having someone reliable, attentive, and responsible was especially important to us. She followed all of our instructions carefully and clearly, and we felt very comfortable knowing our two cats were being well cared for throughout the entire three weeks. What really stood out was how much she went above and beyond. There was quite a bit of litter scattered around the house, and instead of simply leaving it as-is, she took the extra time to clean it up. She also cleaned up cat vomit multiple times when it happened, which was absolutely beyond what we expected. We truly appreciate all the extra effort, care, and attention she gave our cats during the entire stay. We would absolutely recommend them to other pet parents and would be very happy to have them take care of our cats again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and breeds for over 10 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I am patient, attentive, and experienced with both energetic puppies and senior pets that require extra care. My priority is always to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I work part-time, I have lots of extra time to spend with furry friends. Whether it’s weekday evenings or weekends, I’m happy to give your pets all the playtime, snuggles, and walks they need. I’ll make sure they never feel lonely while you’re away. I live in a bright and cozy 2B2B condo filled with sunshine — the perfect spot for kitties who love to nap in warm, sunny corners. Since I don’t have pets of my own, your cat will get all of my love and attention. I enjoy playing with curious, active cats as much as I enjoy giving gentle care to shy or quiet ones. From feeding to litter box cleaning, cuddles, and playtime, I’ll make sure your kitty feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“We are so fortunate to have found Katherine on Rover to take care of our dogs. She is a very caring and detail-oriented person. She bonded with our dogs quickly and provided them with the care we had hoped for. Her daily communication on the status of our dogs was fantastic. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and detail oriented pet sitter. We hope to work with her again.”

Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”

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.

About: I've taken care of pets for neighbors, friends and family. I cherish the trust parents and pets put in me because trust is priceless. I want a pet parent to have a worry-free trip if they need to be out of town. I love to spend time with pets and care for them in every possible way, from their diet to their physical and emotional well-being. I've had to take some pets to the vet during a parent's absence and that's why I appreciate and require having care guidelines and vet contacts. I do take pet sitting seriously. I'm gentle, reliable and respectful. I currently have flexibility and can take care of your pets easily. I'm happy to stay overnight at your home so they can keep the same routine and stay in the comfort of their own home. I currently cannot provide pet services at my home. I can provide care for your pets in your home environment. I am respectful in every way, from your beloved pet to your beloved home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid as I have always lived with a dog in the household. My Chinese name actually means “dog little sister” because my childhood dog was a year older than me and we had such a close bond. I also went to Humane Society summer camp in high school. I am currently the owner of a crazy, high maintenance, and sneaky chihuahua mutt so I am very good at paying attention to the surroundings and making sure that harmful things are not in dog’s reach. I have babysit and dogsit for my neighbors before and the owners and parents were happy. I am very disciplined on taking my dog out for long walks everyday, and he is very sweet to other dogs too if your dog would like to play or walk with him. I am busy from from 10:55-1:40 on tuesdays and Thursdays and 2:00-4:45 on mondays and wednesdays (until December). Besides that I am free. My apartment doesn’t allow other dogs to stay overnight, but I can have them over during the day and evening time. My dog is very friendly and loves to play.

About: Welcome to my pet sitting service! As a sitter I have over 9 years of experience caring for a variety of pets. I am dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and engaging environment for your family members. As a former dog mom I have over 20 years of experience, and years of experience fostering stray cats in Brazil. I offer daily walks, playtime, feeding and plenty of affection. My home is pet friendly, with a secure outdoor space where dogs can run and play. I also provide cozy areas for cats to lounge and explore. As a former pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy. That’s why I prioritize open communication, sending regular updates and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands. Please note: I have children who are kind, respectful, and experienced around animals. They enjoy interacting with pets - playing fetch or engaging with playful cats using toys. Also, they are happy to give space to pets who prefer a calm and quiet environment. Whether you need a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, I’m here to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. I look forward to becoming your trusted pet sitter :) I'm a stay-at-home mom with plenty of time for walks, playtime, and cuddles. I do ask that pets are comfortable around children, as I have a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old at home. Our family loves going on walks, and we have a fenced backyard for the safety of the dogs and our children. They are welcome in and out of the house.

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!

“I had such a great experience with Diana! My dog took to her immediately, which says a lot—she’s a young puppy new to our home, so she has been very shy as she warms up to people. Diana clearly has a natural way with animals and made her feel safe and comfortable right away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”

About: I have been training and caring for dogs for years. No bad dogs just bad owners. Don't over complicate training. Just teach them how to be successful in fitting in to your life and environment. Three is the magic number. Three walks, 3 minuet training sessions and groom every third week. I do nails and trimmings. Save you time and money. We walk 3 times a day and we go to a fenced in dog park. I keep dogs tired so they can relax more often.

Michelle took great care of my two cats during my vacation. She visited them once a day, made sure that they had enough food and water and that their litter box was clean. She also kept them entertained using their favorite toys, always took pictures, and provided a daily report. I'll use her again when similar needs arise in the future.

Xia is every pet owner's dream.

She even let me know what TV show she turned on for Bubba because I told her I always keep the TV on for him! I felt so much relief traveling this time around knowing Xia was taking care of my precious cat. She will be my go-to pet sitter for sure.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of my cat! 🥹 You went above and beyond what I expected. I really appreciate that you not only took care of his litter and food, but also cleaned his pots and kept things around the house tidy even though I didn’t ask you to. And thank you for opening the door to let some fresh air in! It was so sweet to see how happy and relaxed Rince looked. He looked like he had such a great time with you and was really comfortable. 🥰 I truly appreciate all the extra care and attention you gave him.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cupertino

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cupertino is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 October 2026, there are 6,910 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cupertino. 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cupertino. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 .

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.
