“Jen is always amazing with my extra special diva Zoe. Jen has watched her a half dozen times and has never rushed her but has let Zoe come to her in her own time. She has such a kind spirit and I am always so comfortable leaving Zoe in her care! 🩷”
“Alondra provided excellent updates while cat sitting for us. Not only was she very communicative, she also left the house better than she found it. Would 100% recommend her for cat sitting and hope to work with her again!”
About: I've grown up around dogs and cats and have pet-sat for many different owners. I love being around animals and will treat your pets like my own! Right now I'm currently working part time and have availability approximately 8am - 10pm, varying day to day. My availability on the weekend varies, but will typically in the start at 10am. I'll be a friendly, energetic face for your pet(s), while most importantly, keeping them safe and healthy! I'll always ensure they get food, water, and good exercise regularly while upkeeping their hygiene. As an avid animal lover I'd be more than happy to play with your pets anytime as well!!
“Isabella has been extremely accommodating and willing to work around our specific dog needs and requests! She gives very detailed notes about her check-ins and walks with our Ayla girl! Ayla has a lot of energy and Isabella makes sure she gets the attention she needs. We’re so thankful for her services!! Definitely recommend.”
“Alissa did a great job with our dog! She took good care, closely following all instructions and sent a bunch of updates along the way. We would definitely use her again. Thanks a lot Alissa!”
“My dog Harvey loves Vicky! she’s dependable, always on time and does everything we ask of her when she comes in for drop in visits. We have already rebooked her. She’s great!”
“Caroline was so wonderful!! She was prompt, responsible, and sent so many photos each day. She was great with my kitty who adored her and even sacrificed some of her own hair ties for her to play with!”
“Athena was wonderfully responsive, and when our automatic feeder stopped working Athena was able to arrange an extra visit to troubleshoot the feeder make sure our cat, Augustine, was well fed and taken care of.”
“Just like last winter, Diane took excellent care of our cat, Cooper, while we were out of town for a week. She sent us a picture of him every day, and we returned to find him happy and relaxed.”
“Andriana was amazing! I was a first time rover user and she explained the process and was very professional. She was gentle with our two cats and was dedicated to learning about their routines and how to properly take care of them! Andriana was great at communication throughout the whole time and I never had to worry about getting updates. I highly recommend Andriana for any pet needs!”
“Elvira did drop ins on my two cats while I was away, they are shy cats but did come out to play with her which is a huge compliment. My extra cautious girl cat even allowed Elvira to pet her!”
“I was completely at ease during my crazy busy schedule knowing Kelun would take great care of my kitten. Kelun sent me detailed updates every time along with a ton of cute photos with my playful kitten in motion lol. My cat certainly has grown bigger and stronger thanks to Kelun’s care.”
“Hi Anna is great with dogs. She has a way with them and is a great trainer as well. I would highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond her doggie duties as she put out our trash, washed Nala’s food bowls and also spent more time with her when Nala needed it. :)”
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 cat’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your cat is cared for on time every visit, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended care. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling cats gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your cat 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. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
About: I’ve had both small and large dogs and I haven’t met an animal that doesn’t like me. I also have plenty of experience with cats and love both equally ❤️ I will spend as much time as needed with your furry friends when possible, giving them the attention they require and deserve. This can include drop in visits or spending the whole day with them ❤️ My yard is fenced in and I have never had an issue with any of my pets or any visiting pets getting out. I am always vigilant with animals and will make sure everyone is safe and sound.
About: First-time bookings on Rover can get a $20 discount! Use my code kaitlt22451 for additional savings, even if you don't book with me 🌟 Pet Veteran 🐾 I've been on Rover since 2024 and have cared for pets of family and friends long before I joined Rover. I am particularly experienced in caring for and training senior dogs. I understand the need to prepare special meals for dietary needs and catering playtime to a dog's health and interests. Administering oral medicine is no biggie for me, as long as I'm made aware of how they usually prefer to take their meds! If the dog is able to, I love taking them out for walks and playing games to keep their mind and body stimulated. There is nothing better than loving our furry family members who always give us unconditional love! I also have experience caring for cats and knowing the importance of respecting their space and letting them come to me when they're comfortable! I love playing with cats or even just watching them sunbathe in the most random parts of a home. I am open to caring for all types of animals (I've had to watch hamsters in addition to dogs before), so your pet will always be showered with love! Prior to Booking 🗓️ I will always ask to schedule a meet & greet to ensure your pet is comfortable with me. During this meet & greet, I'd love to know more about your pet's daily routine, a tour of your home, and any other housekeeping notes I should know during the stay. The meet & greet is to see if we're a good fit and make sure we're both comfortable proceeding with the booking. I always ask my clients to type up a document with pet care instructions and any notes about the home to ensure things run as smoothly as possible. If your pet requires constant supervision due to separation anxiety or behavior that requires special attention (aggressive behavior, chews on personal items, constantly barks throughout the day, always pulls on the leash, not potty trained, has a habit of biting or scratching unprovoked), an additional flat fee of $20 will be added to reflect the additional care that they'll require. What to Expect 💭 Multiple photo updates during the day! I always send photos before they're requested. You'll see what your pets are up to, whether there are any issues going on that you need to know, or just silly moments of them that I happened to capture. It'll be like you never left them. Many walks (around 2-3 times a day), cuddles, treats (as allowed), and toys to keep your pet entertained during the day! Your home will be respected and kept in a clean condition. I understand the anxiety of having someone else in your home, so I'll always respect boundaries about rooms to leave untouched, taking out the garbage, bringing in mail, and washing any dishes that may be used. I also try to clean your pet's food and water bowls daily to ensure their health and safety! I will often put any used towels or bedsheets in one place or pre-loaded into the washing machine so that you're aware of what was used. I am available during the entire week, including weekends, so I plan my day around your pet's schedule for quality feeding time, play time, and cuddles! I typically spend most of the day with your pet, stepping out to run errands as necessary. To respect my time, if you require more than one meet & greet, they will be $15 for 30 minutes each. The first meet & greet is free! I always keep track of where the pet is in the home and maintain a watchful eye of what they’re eating, playing with, or exploring. Since I have a senior dog of my own, I understand the need to react quickly to any alarming noises or behavior and am able to think on my feet to address concerns while also keeping you in the loop! I am also quick to notice when play time is getting too intense and a fight might break out so I know when to step in and distract pets to help de-escalate the situation.
About: We are an animal loving family. We love and have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, Guinea pigs, rats, reptiles, ferrets, birds, and more. From when I worked at a vet hospital at 14 to helping my daughter rehome the rats she bred during the pandemic, there is little I haven’t faced in animal care and husbandry. I can feed and care for any animal you want me to care for as long as you give me directions for their care. I work part time and spend the rest of my time making sure your animals get exercise and fun. Have been around all kinds of animals all of my life. I am happy to make visits or stay overnight in home as needed. I like being company for animals and keeping them comfortable when you are gone.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sunnyvale
Choosing Isabella to look after our two cats was the best decision we could have made! Having just relocated from Europe, our naturally shy cats were extra sensitive in their new environment. Isabella was wonderfully calm and patient. She truly knows how to connect with different personalities, and within just two days, both cats were out playing and enjoying cuddles. The photo updates she sent with every visit were fantastic—we saved every single one! She gave us complete peace of mind, and we will definitely be booking her again.
Jennifer took great care of our cat while we were away with drop in visits. I was impressed with her questions and checklist on our meet and great and overall her proactive communication. She also took care of mail, packages etc to give us total peace of mind. I have already rebooked her!
Conner was incredible to work with and did a fantastic job taking care of our cats. He was quick-to-respond, proactively communicative, and obviously truly cared about our cats’ well being. He went above and beyond to make sure the cats were comfy and our house was clean. I would absolutely recommend booking with him!
Jin was fantastic with Jojo! It was our first time using Rover, and she made the whole process completely stress-free while we were away. She followed all our daily instructions perfectly, kept everything clean, and gave Jojo plenty of attention. We'll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we travel!

As of July 2026, there are 3,812 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sunnyvale. 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.

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.
