“We had another great experience with Zipeng! She took excellent care of our cat and made sure he was well fed, had fresh water, and had a clean litter area. She also spent time grooming and playing with him, which we really appreciate.”
“She took care of both my cats very well and even did some of the introduction process between the two. She also took the time to understand both of their personalities and preferences. She is very responsive and left my place better than it was before.”
“Isabel took great care of our cat Mayson while my husband and I were away for the weekend. She was friendly, responsible, and sent us lots of photos. When we came back, Mayson was happy and relaxed, and it seemed he didn't notice we were gone at all. Highly recommend hiring Isabel as your sitter!”
“It was my first time using Rover and I was hesistant about a stranger coming into my house and how my cats would react to them. But Mingshan was very polite and she made me feel at ease. She took care of both my cats and followed my instructions well. She updated me regularly and sent me photos of my babies playing with her. My cats loved her. Thank you Mingshan! I look forward to booking with you again ?”
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 pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your pet is cared for on time every visit. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that pets can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling pets gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your pets 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/activity. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
About: With 5 years of pet care experience, I specialize in puppy care, house-training, and positive reinforcement. As a proud parent of two young pups—including an energetic Australian Shepherd—I deeply understand puppy behaviors, teething, crate training, and social boundaries. My background working in early childhood education has also equipped me with extreme patience, high alertness for safety, and a natural ability to structure a fun yet secure routine for pets. Whether your dog needs gentle guidance, playful enrichment, or senior comfort, they will receive undivided attention and love. As a graduate student, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available for multi-day boarding, daycare, and overnight stays. Because I study primarily from home, your pet will rarely be left alone and will enjoy constant companionship, timely potty breaks, and plenty of structured mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. Safety is my absolute highest priority. I maintain a secure, dog-friendly environment fully adapted for active puppies. When welcoming guest pets, I ensure slow, supervised introductions and keep a watchful eye on play dynamics. I strictly follow your specific feeding, medication, and training instructions. Daily photo and video updates are guaranteed so you can have complete peace of mind while away.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 13 years through my own pets, family pets, and pet sitting for others. I grew up with a family dog and now have two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I’m patient with shy or cautious pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’m experienced with feeding, playtime, litter box care, walks, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. On walks, I stay very aware of other dogs, traffic, and anything your pet may try to pick up or eat. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m available Monday through Friday from 6 AM–3 PM and have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they need. My schedule is also flexible, and I’m happy to work with you when possible. I’m available for drop in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check ins, and I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and take time to understand their personality, comfort level, and individual needs. I keep doors and gates secure, monitor food and water, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m patient with shy or nervous animals and allow them to warm up to me at their own pace. During walks, I’m very attentive to our surroundings, keeping an eye out for other dogs, traffic, and anything on the ground your pet may try to eat or get into. Their safety is always my priority, both inside and outside the home.
“We had a great experience with Hejie! She is very patient, attentive, and professional, and also incredibly kind and friendly. She sent us lots of photos and updates, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, our cat absolutely loved her! Highly recommend, and we would definitely book with her again.”
“He took great care of my fur babies and gave them lots of pats and love. He also updated me on my roommates dog! I loved the updates and getting pictures of my cats while I was out of the country! He even helped with filling the dog's water bowl!! Thank you so much for taking care of them!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and an experienced pet owner. I currently have a 1.5 yo Alaskan malamute boy! I also adopted and cared for two cats in the past. I work a full-time job as a software engineer. I’m available for pet care on weekday evenings and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate flexible scheduling based on your needs. For drop-in visits, I ensure your pets receive plenty of attention, fresh food and water, and any care routines you’ve outlined. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level and needs. I always prioritize safety by keeping dogs securely leashed and staying aware of surroundings.
“Fernanda is so caring and attentive of our cat’s needs during her visits. We got photos and updates everyday hence we had a peace of mind while we’re away. It was a last minute booking but she still managed to show up and take such good care of our Leopold. 🥰 Thank you, Fernanda!”
About: In January, I said goodbye to my sweet girl after 13 wonderful years together. I miss her every day, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog of my own, I have so much love and attention to share. I’d love to take your dog on walks, keep them company, and give them plenty of affection while you’re away. Having loved a dog for so many years, I understand how much they mean to you, and I’d care for yours with the kindness and attention I’d want for my own. I work full-time, but most of my evenings and weekends are free. I really miss taking dogs on walks and enjoying the company of both dogs and cats, so I’d love to spend some of that time giving your pets extra care and attention. While I’m not available for overnight care, I can pick up your dog from home for a walk and bring them back afterward—perfect for evenings when you’re working late or have a busy schedule. I can also stop by to keep your cats company and give them some extra love and attention while you’re away.
“Adelaide really helped us out in a pinch when we needed a last minute cat sitter before going out of town. She was always quick to respond to any communications, and our pretty shy cat seemed to warm up to her quickly.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sunnyvale
Conner was great! He was recommended by my other sitter when she couldn’t do all my requested dates. He did a meet and greet to meet my cat Brie and get a little tour of the place. Even though my cat was hiding for the meet and greet she immediately got comfortable with him during his check ins. Loved the pictures sent too!
Jennifer was a great cat sitter! She is very experienced and familiar with cats. I found that she was very detailed and followed our care taking instructions perfectly. Our cat is very shy but she was immediately friendly with Jennifer. Thanks for taking care of Coco!
lucy was FANTASTIC!!! i generally have pretty bad anxiety when traveling for long periods and being away from our kitties, but i felt so reassured that they were being well taken care of by lucy! she gave amazing, thorough updates with very cute pics. she truly went above and beyond on all aspects of their care, and i really felt like she understood both of their personalities and needs, while simultaneously respecting their boundaries (we have 1 🌶️ cat lol).
I had such a wonderful experience with Dawn! She took amazing care of our two shy kittens and was incredibly patient and gentle with them. One of our cats is especially shy and usually hides from everyone, but she took the time to give them plenty of space and let them come out at their own pace. It was so heartwarming to see them gradually become more comfortable with her! She also sent us detailed updates and photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was very thoughtful, responsible, and clearly genuinely cared about our cats. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!
Mona was super amazing with my cat Bumi, and is very thoughtful with the way she took care of Bumi! She took the best pictures of my cat, and even offered extra visits in case there were any last minute requests I had. I’m super thankful for that! Would definitely recommend.
Cindy took fantastic care of the two kitties I’m fostering! They’re a little wary of new people but they warmed up to her right away. I loved the thorough updates Cindy provided for each visit, and it made me feel much less worried about having to leave the boys! The litter boxes were well kept, and the boys got great playtime and treats on each visit. Highly recommend Cindy and would definitely rebook her!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Sunnyvale is $32 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $49 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.

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 .
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.
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 .

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 , 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.
