“Highly recommended! Kimberley went above and beyond my expectations for drop in visits. I loved all the picture updates and I was happy that my kitties and plants were well care for. I look forward to booking with Kimberley again!”
“Our Duke loves seeing Kallie and she does a great job. I appreciated her being on time, playing with him, feeding him, and loving him like we do. We will use her services again.”
About: BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL!! NEW DROP-IN CUSTOMERS FIRST VISIT FREE. NEW BOARDING CUSTOMERS 1ST DAY 50% OFF ANY STAY 3 DAYS OR MORE. I have been taking care of pets for about 15 years off and on whether it be my own pets or the pets of others'. Bathing, brushing, soothing, walking, giving medications, you name it. I have had a few classes over K9 Resuscitation and can perform basic first aid and CPR on your pet if needed. If there is something that needs done for your pet that I haven't done before, then teach me how and I will ensure its done while I have your pet in my care. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I work full time so I am usually only available to board or day care on the weekends or when I take a break from work. I will update my schedule before hand though and we'll often be available on holidays. I can do dropins a few days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog. She loves other animals. If your pets are aggressive to other animals, then let me know. I will try to accommodate as much as possible by keeping them in a separate room.
“Robyn was great. We got stranded by weather circumstances and she continued to visit our pets until we could get home two days later. Competent and efficient and the kitties were happy and purring upon our return”
“I really appreciate how after every visit she gives a summary WITH pictures of what happened, like how much they ate, if they played or cuddled, plus funny side notes. She is very informative, a fast replier, and updates daily. This sets her apart from any pet sitter I’ve used! My scaredy cats love her!!! This is my 3rd time booking with Victoria, and will be booking again.”
“Danielle took wonderful care of Hunter while I was away on vacation. She made sure he was safe, well-fed, and showed him genuine love and affection. I felt completely at ease knowing Hunter was in such caring hands. I’d highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“This was my first time using this app, I was so nervous and anxious but Lauren made this experience so great for us. After her first drop when I saw how happy my babies were I knew they were in great hands! I can’t thank or recommend her enough!”
“Thank you Kara for taking care of Gabby! She loved her visits very much. She’s a happy girl! Appreciate your posting photos of her playing and walking. We’ll book with you again when we are here.”
“Emoni is simply a wonderful caretaker for my dog. My dog comes from abuse and is super reactive, but she took to Emoni quickly and they became fast friends. My anxiety about finding someone who can care for my pups when I’m unavailable has been squelched and I’m so glad I found her. Highly recommend her to anyone needing pup care.”
“Tim was excellent! Prompt with communication and sent great thorough updates throughout my trip. My dog Jane clearly loved him. Will definitely be using him again :)”
About: I love giving pets happy moments while you’re away and treat any pet as my own I feel that’s what sets me apart from anyone else :) I work part time so I’m able to be available for my pets and other pets and give each pet time and care while in my care. I care for pets by providing basic necessities such as water, play time, cuddles and attention towards your pet in order to satisfy your pet with their stay with me. :)
“She came immediately during my last minute booking and went above and beyond for my pups! She’s a dog whisperer, I highly recommend her to anybody who needs pet services!”
“This was our first time using Rover, as we’ve always relied on friends in the past—and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction than working with Ericka. She was kind, patient, and incredibly responsive from the start, taking the time to answer all our questions and even offering to do a meet-and-greet before we left. That extra effort really put us at ease. We were traveling out of the country with limited internet access, but Ericka handled everything perfectly. She went above and beyond in caring for our two cats, even cleaning up after one got sick (just a furball, thankfully!), fixing our Roomba when it got stuck, and taking in a package that was delivered while we were away. She also kept us updated on all the little things we were concerned about—like whether the automatic feeder and water fountains were working properly—which gave us such peace of mind. Most importantly, our cats clearly adored her. We came home to happy, healthy kitties. We can’t thank Ericka enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Megan has been a wonderful auntie to our new puppy! She comes to our home for about four hours each day and we feel completely confident leaving our pup in her care. She makes sure our girl is fed, taken outside for potty breaks multiple times, and cared for with lots of love. Our experience has been excellent, and we’re so grateful for her help”
“We were a little nervous at first with booking drop-in visits through Rover because we have only ever had our dogs taken care of by close friends and family while we were away. From our initial meet and greet, our 70 pound dogs (a senior Lab mix and a 3 year old extremely hyper Doberman) immediately took a liking to Samantha. She gave us such a wonderful first experience with drop-in visits that we now have the peace of mind from having someone that we could depend on and trust with our fur-babies. She was very punctual with our scheduled drop-ins to feed and water them. She also provided a whole lot of love, attention, and playtime. We received updates and entertaining pictures for the visits so we did not have to worry about anything and we knew they were in great hands.”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Santa Clara on Rover is $39.96 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 1,484 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:

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.
