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!

We cannot recommend Colin enough! She took care of our two cats during our vacation, visiting twice a day, and went above and beyond to make sure they were not only cared for but truly loved. Every visit, Colin sent us the most thoughtful updates and the sweetest pictures of our fur babies, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from her updates that Colin genuinely cared about our cats, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well-attended to. Knowing they were in such kind and capable hands made our trip so much more relaxing. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own, Colin is the best choice. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to her for all our future pet care needs!

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!

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.

Alondra did an outstanding job taking care of Miss Lily. My kitty couldn't have hoped for a better sitter. She was waiting at the door, always happy to see her sitter. I highly recommend the device of Alondra.

About: I have a deep passion for animal welfare and a proven track record of helping dogs thrive. Over the past 6 months, I have successfully fostered 3 rescue dogs—ranging from incredibly shy pups to those facing behavioral challenges such as resource guarding, hyper-vigilance, and under-socialization. Through patience, structured guidance, and positive reinforcement, I was able to help them overcome these hurdles, transforming them into affectionate, confident dogs who have all now been happily adopted into their forever homes. Whether your pet is an energetic pup, a timid soul needing extra love, or a rescue dog with specific boundaries, I understand how to read their body language and provide the calm, consistent environment they need to feel safe. I have a part-time, work-from-home job with a super flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of companionship, flexible potty breaks, and customized attention throughout the day based on your pet's routine. As a dedicated pet caregiver with hands-on experience in fostering rescue dogs and raising cats, safety and trust are my top priorities. I am highly observant of animal body language, which allows me to prevent stressful situations before they happen. For dogs with behavioral needs (such as resource guarding or high alertness), I establish clear boundaries, follow their exact routines, and provide a calm, predictable environment to make them feel secure. When staying at your home or taking your dogs out, I maintain strict leashing habits, always stay vigilant of our surroundings, and never introduce them to unknown dogs without your explicit permission. For cats, I respect their personal space and ensure all windows/doors are securely closed. Your pet's emotional comfort and physical safety will always come first.

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: 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.

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!

​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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sunnyvale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sunnyvale on Rover is $32.19 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 3,868 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunnyvale. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
