“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. 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.”
“Suz went above and beyond caring for Luna and Zozo. It was such a relief knowing they were safe and taken care of by someone who loves animals just as much as I do. She even was okay with a last minute plan change which is so deeply appreciate. Highly recommend!”
“Soyoung was amazing while we were out of town during Thanksgiving! She took very good care of our cat Lily. It was clear she has a lot of experience caring for cats. We’d definitely ask her again to take care of her in the future!”
“Mary is an amazing cat sitter , she stayed more than the 30 minutes I paid for and went above and beyond to make sure my cat was comfortable and well cared for while I was away .I would 💯 percent recommend her”
“Wandis was very well cared for, and I really appreciated the love and attention she received. Anna was kind, reliable, and made me feel at ease while I was away. I’m very grateful and would happily book again.”
“Dylan was great with my dog Bo. He encouraged my old lazy dog to get out for potty breaks on our drop in visits. He’s detail-oriented and clearly cares about animals. We will absolutely use him again.”
“Appreciate Flora for taking our last minute request and drop in for our cat Reggae over weekend. Communication with her was prompt and easy, and she did a great job taking care of Reggae. She also took some of the best looking cat pics. Thank you Flora!”
“Dawn is the best cat sitter we've ever had! She leaves thoughtful comments, spends quality time with the cats, is communicative, and even kept our house clean while we were gone for a month. I recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will go above and beyond to keep you at ease while you're away.”
“Conner was great! Reliable, communicative, and he asked all the right questions. He even visited our home an extra time to bring in a perishable package that we'd forgotten was going to be delivered. His daily reports on how our cats were doing were excellent--just the right amount of detail. I'd recommend him without reservation.”
“Tiana did a great job with our cats! We booked every other day of a 2 week trip and she was always on time and sent lots of pictures. She also vacuumed! I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again soon!”
“Jenn was super friendly, responsive, and easy to work with! We had left a couple of things unclear about our pet's care (sorry about that, Jenn) but she was awesome and reached out to us for clarification to make sure that our cat Charlie was well taken care of while we're away. Would recommend!”
“Saida is so sweet and she did a great job dropping in on our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She kept us updated, followed instructions and sent us lots of cute pictures :) we felt very comfortable entrusting our fur children to her!”
“Lauren is caring, responsible and takes amazing pictures! She took great care of my two kittens, paying attention to their individual needs. After every visit she sent a detailed update along with a ton of great pictures. I would certainly seek her help again and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Lucy was great! We had a last minute trip and couldn't get ahold of the other pet sitters we work with so I reached out to Lucy. She was very attentive, asked great questions and gave me lots of suggestions to make this work last minute. And she was right. We went on the trip and had complete peace of mind having Lucy take care of our lovely cat. It was nice knowing that our cat had a friend to spend time with and was happy and healthy this whole time. We can't thank Lucy enough! She is now definitely at the top of the list and I will be surely reaching out when we need again.”
“Annieliz is great. I made a mistake in booking, she helped me taking care of my dog anyway and dealt with Rover in changing the date. She is a lifesaver, my dog is happy. Highly recommended.”
“The service Xi provided was perfect. She did everything we asked and was proactive to bring up any potential concerns that she had. We will definitely request her services again in the future!”
“Joleen was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my two cats while away on a trip, was able to give my diabetic cat his insulin, and treated them like her own. I was extremely happy with the status updates and never had to worry about anything. If you need a reliable pet sitter who will give your pets the best treatment, look no further!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.

We absolutely love Saida! She takes great care of our 3 cats (granted, ours are pretty easy) and her affection for them is plain to see. She spends the full 30 minutes each visit, and they look content when we return. This was our 2nd time with Saida, and I'm looking forward to a 3rd!
Best sitter ever!! Very attentive to my cat’s needs, she does what it takes to make them comfortable around her, and ensure they are doing good in my absence. Followed all of my instructions to a tee (and my cat takes multiple medications). I will Definitely be using her again!! Highly recommend!!
We could not be happier with the wonderful care our cats received from Jin! She was amazingly attentive, sending us detailed daily updates and photos that put our minds completely at ease while we were away. On top of being an incredible cat sitter, Jin went above and beyond by taking care of our garden and plants. We are so grateful for her kindness and thoroughness, and we will definitely be booking Jin again! Highly recommended!
I requested Sydney to check in on Eevee for a week on short notice and she helped me out immensely. She actually put in the effort to make my baby feel comfortable and she warmed up to her in no time. Sydney also sent me multiple pictures of these checkins daily and helped put my mind to ease while I was away from home.
Claire did an amazing job taking care of both my home and my cat, Bubbles, while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and gave me peace of mind the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and photos, and it was clear that Bubbles was comfortable and well cared for. She also helped with my package deliveries, ant traps and checking on my smoke detector, which I truly appreciated. I would absolutely book Claire again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable Rover sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Santa Clara on Rover is $32.1 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,223 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Santa Clara. 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 Santa Clara. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
