“Aurora is truly a lifesaver. She helped us with our pup when we found ourselves stressing out of town about a misstep we took before we left. She is such a great communicator and is a master photographer for your pup! We can't recommend her enough.”
“Katherine has been awesome! This has been super easy and she has taken such great care of my babies, has been on time each visit and sends pictures. Highly recommend her!”
“This was the longest I’ve ever left the cats before and I could just relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew the cats were all good and she was taking care of them. Thank you again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, especially large breeds like German Shepherds and Great Pyrenees! My dogs always had plenty of space to run, explore, and play, so I’m used to handling dogs with different energy levels and personalities. I also have experience caring for sick dogs, administering medications, and giving extra attention to dogs who need it. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or just relaxing, I’m happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I work as a hybrid office manager and have the flexibility to make my own schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my day! I can adjust my work hours to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I also have three cats of my own, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible! I follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care needs. I make sure dogs get plenty of walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks, while cats receive attention, playtime, and clean litter boxes. I also understand that some pets need more patience or personal space, especially senior animals. I always respect your home, clean up after your pets, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away!
About: I’ve helped with various sized dogs for friends and family and I’ve worked with big dogs so nothing scares me! I am 5 foot tall though so smaller dogs would be preferred! 😂😂 I’m currently working for a preschool M-F 8:30 AM-2:30 PM. I thought this would be a fun way to earn extra income since I love pets! 🐾❤️ My cat Pumpkin is an indoor cat so I don’t let him wander outside. He’s more of a grazer when it comes to eating so I just keep an eye on his food & water and refill when he needs it. As long as I have clear instructions on how to feed/check up on pets in the past, I’ve been good about that. 👍🏻
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs for as long as I can remember! From pit bulls to poodles. I currently have a German shepherd husky mix and she is the sweetest, gets along great with other dogs. I’m not currently working so I’m fully available to house sit and/or walk your animals as often as you need. I love dogs and cats! I currently live in an apartment with my doggie, kitty, and two year old son. He loves helping me feed our pets and take them outside to play and go on walks. We have a small fenced dog park in our apartment complex. We go there often. But I prefer to care for your pets in your home where they are comfortable. I’m unfortunately not allowed to have other pets in my home.
About: I feel like that animals are just drawn to me! I feel like that I am very gentle around all animals and able to give them the attention they need. I do work nearby and could even pop in after work on week nights! But I’m mostly available all day on Tuesday, Friday and Saturdays! I am in an apartment and there is a large dog park across from where I live and there is a large complex to walk around and pond.
“This is the second time that Kristian has watched our cat, and once again, it's clear that Alice was safe and well cared for. We highly recommend Kristian and her services!!”
About: I do work a 7:30-4:30 job with a break 12-1. Unfortunately I can only do walks or sits between that time frame. Thank you in advance for understanding :) I have worked with my step mom for more than 4 years now helping her with her dog business. She boards and does daycare. I have helped her walk, drop off and pick up with the dogs, and many more other things to help run her business. I am able to walk all week all day if I am able to. I only work on Sundays at my job so I am available Monday through Saturday. I want safety for all parties. Which means I want to make sure the dogs needs are met and the dog is comfortable with me walking them and around them. I also want to respect the home owners and make sure they are comfortable with my services and being in their home.
“Rheya was wonderful with our dogs. She followed all instructions and cared for our fur babies at our RV park campsite while we were on vacation. She was on time and communication was excellent! We will definitely call on her services again!”

About: Hello there! I'm very excited to take care of your four-legged family member. I love dogs since I was a child, and would help anybody if they weren't able to or didn't have the time. I'm a homebody who is also very outgoing. So whether your pet is a cuddly couch potato or a nature seeker they will absolutely get their daily exercise in and will never get bored. I treat all the dogs I care for like they are my own, so everybody will feel the love as soon as I enter the room. I’m very informative so however you would prefer to receive updates on your pet and what has happen each day while your dog is my care I’m glad to offer.
“She was very good with my fur baby today was super hot so my callie didn't get it long, walked, but she took her out for a little walk, but the fact that she was concerned that she was getting overheated really touches me because my husband worries about that all the time, we will definitely be using her again”
“Ashton was an amazing find! I would highly recommend her & will definitely use her whenever we need our animals watched. Ashton was on time, didn’t bother us on our vacation and we came home to a clean house & happy fur-babies!”
“We really appreciated Abigail's help with taking care of our cat while we were gone over the holidays. She gave great updates every visit with pictures. We will definitely try to use her again when we need someone for our pets.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sunnyside is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 November 2026, there are 461 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sunnyside. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunnyside. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
