“Zola is great! My cat is skittish and my partner’s cat is more outgoing, and she was able to give each the right amount of attention. By the end of our trip, they were right at home with Zola Her updates and fun photos were much appreciated as well; would rebook again!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Gizmo and Luna! She gave Gizmo his medication each morning and night, made sure Luna was fed, and took such great care of both of them. She also scooped both litter boxes and was incredibly flexible and accommodating when our schedule changed. I especially loved how detailed her notes were after each visit, and the photos she sent of my fur babies were such a sweet touch! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy, cared for, and in such good hands. Sarah was reliable, thoughtful, and clearly went above and beyond. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!”
“Jacob checked in on my cat while I was away. He gave a thorough care to her, and sent me a full report. Plus, he’s very kind! I can’t thank him enough, hope to get his help again.”
“Sam took great care of my grumpy kitty and made sure she is comfortable. She had to clean up a few accidents and gave me detailed information about my cat’s behavior and issues.”
“Laura is my go-to sitter for my cat boys as I’ve been traveling more for work. They love her & vice versa! She makes leaving them a little bit easier knowing they’re well cared for :)”
“Highly recommend! She was incredibly detailed and responsible throughout the entire process. She even came over ahead of time for a meet-and-greet to familiarize herself with the entry process, which gave me great peace of mind. During the visits, she strictly followed all instructions to check on my two cats and provided very thorough, detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my babies!”
About: I've always been an animal enthusiast for the longest time! As long as i remember I've taken care of a plethora of pets from a small goldfish to an energetic Doberman. This experience has given me a keen eye and compassion on how to keep pets happy and cared for! I'm currently a full-time student with a lot of flexible hours, which means more time to take care of your furry companion. I'm available for sitting and walks: all day on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays and in the early day on Saturdays. I'll be sure that not only does your pet (or pets) stay happy and clean but your home as well! If you have any specifications concerning caring or walking your pets I'll follow them to a T!
About: Experienced dog walker with 10 years of hands-on care, including special-needs pups. Your dog will be safe, loved, and well-exercised! I am eager to explore more pets. I've been caring for my family dog for most of my life, giving me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing loving care. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I'm available on weekday mornings until 11:00 a.m., after 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and all day on weekends. On Mondays, I'm available after 8:00 p.m. due to class. I'm committed to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am mostly inside my house. My house does have an open backyard and my neighbors is friendly to walk around. There are plenty of other pets around for your pet to play with.
“I am so impressed with Anke! Not only is she friendly and responsible, she goes above and beyond anything any other pet sitter has done. Not only did she drop me a note & pictures to let me know she had stopped in the feed my kitty, she let me know about how my cat had eaten, what was happening in the litter box and mentioned giving my cat her meds every day. I hadn’t even realized how comforting it would be to know that my cat was getting her meds every day until Anke did just that. For the owner of an old kitty this was so welcome!!!”
“Joy is a fantastic and responsible pet sitter anyone can trust. We are quite inexperienced with pet sitting service and Joy has put us at ease by being super professional and approachable for questions. My kitties were shy but they love seeing Joy!”
“Bre’anna was an absolute pleasure and took wonderful care of our kitties. The check ins were thoughtful and if anything came up she made sure to put best effort into communicating with me and sorting it out. The cats loved her and even on international multi day travel I felt no worries. True animal lover!”
“Sarah was the most perfect cat sitter! She arrived on time for each visit, sent multiple pictures, and wrote detailed descriptions of her visits each time assuring me that both cats were well taken care of. Definitely would love to have Sarah as a sitter again in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Yifei as our cat sitter. She took great care of cleaning the litter box, checking and refilling food, changing the water, and spending plenty of time playing with our cat. Our cat clearly loved her and felt very comfortable around her. She also uploaded photos regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. We’re extremely satisfied and would absolutely book her again in the future.”
“So grateful to have had Kayla’s help with my cat as I traveled. She was consistently on time with great communication, including lovely pictures and detailed updates. Most importantly, Siena (my cat) was in one of the best moods she’s been in after I’ve been away. Thank you!”
“She’s absolutely awesome and honestly has some kind of magic with pets! My cat warmed up to her so quickly and clearly felt comfortable and happy around her. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I truly love animals. I am that person that will pull over on a busy road or highway to save an animal or bring a lost animal home until I find the parents. Your fur baby's well-being is my top priority! I've had dogs my entire life and have raised them from puppies to seniors. I trained my puppies with patience, consistency and positive reinforcement and cared for them as seniors with gentleness and compassion. I am not afraid to clean up accidents or messes (I've done it all, lol) and I can administer topical and oral medications. I have also cared for other types of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and rodents should you need care for them as well. Please choose the cat care services for other animals. Please no aggressive or poisonous animals. I work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am available weekdays from 11am - 10pm and some weekends from 11am - 10pm. Rest assured that while visiting your pet/s at home, I will check that they are well, have water and food (based on their feeding schedule) and that they get plenty of affection. Upon leaving your pet/s, I will make sure they are secure in the home and that any pet messes are cleaned up. I will also send Rover Cards and occasional pictures of our pawsome visits!
“Sabrina has been the best find on Rover! She is kind, dependable, and very responsive. You can immediately sense her love for dogs. She treats my pup like one of her own and he is always very excited to see her. I highly recommend Sabrina’s services!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in San Jose is $30

Mallory took great care of our pets! She was on time, communicative and left detailed notes from all of her visits. Loved hearing about the silly antics our cat and dog got into! The pets seemed happy and healthy when we got home. And she shared sweet pics of each visit! Thanks for taking such good care of Atti and Archie!
Christina is awesome! This is the second time she’s taken care of my cats, and I’m so happy to have found her. She takes such good care of them, and they both love her! She even went above and beyond when my little cat knocked over a vase and spilled water. She cleaned everything up, which I really appreciated. I also love getting the pictures and videos she sends while I’m away—it’s so nice to see my cats and know they’re doing well. I feel completely comfortable having Christina come into our home, and I know my cats are in good hands with her.
In the 13th hour, after having a sitter cancel on day 1 of my trip, Meara was incredibly flexible and was able to make room in her schedule to help care for Chicken and Pookie. While the kitties were under her care, she invested time to get to know them. She went above and beyond to not only communicate their needs but their emotional states. If you're looking for a sitter that cares and love your pets, Meara is the person for you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in San Jose on Rover is $32.1 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,135 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across San Jose. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Jose. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
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.
