“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!”
“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!”
“Judith was amazing! What stood about her compared to other sitters is she asked for a meet and greet. That’s something I would do when I was on Rover! It showed that she truly does care about my kitty and providing the best service. She gave me detailed updates with lots of cute pictures which made me feel calm. My cat was laying on her, headbutting her shoe, playing with her, and apparently greeting her too! Haha. She’s going to be my go to when I travel again. I don’t know why you wouldn’t book with Judith!”
“My cat can be difficult with people she is unfamiliar with. Andriana was extremely professional and treated my cat with respect and care. Andriana understood when to give her space and when it was okay to approach her. She also accommodated all of my requests. 10/10!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for my dog, who is now 13 years old, so I’ve had experience with dogs through many stages of life. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping an eye on their needs, and following their normal routines. I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ dogs time to time. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any specific instructions you have for your pet. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with plenty of flexibility for drop-in visits throughout the week. My schedule can vary, but I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I know I can reliably make. When caring for pets in their home, I’ll follow their normal routine and any instructions you provide. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets safely leashed when needed, and give them plenty of attention while I’m there. I’m also happy to handle feeding, water, playtime, and any basic cleanup needed during the visit.
“Diane took excellent care of our cat while we were out of town. She provided daily photo updates and was very responsive to messages. Our cat seemed happy, healthy, and well-cared for when we returned.”
“Xia is every pet owner's dream. I'm very lucky to have found a petsitter that is so kind, attentive and actually cares to learn the little routine and habits that make our pets unique and special to us. She even let me know what TV show she turned on for Bubba because I told her I always keep the TV on for him! I felt so much relief traveling this time around knowing Xia was taking care of my precious cat. She will be my go-to pet sitter for sure.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I had a cat for 12 years, and throughout his life I cared for him like family — feeding him, playing with him, bathing him, trimming his claws, and making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My dad also had a dog, whom I often walked and played with. I’m also a professional pet groomer, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with bathing, brushing, nail trimming, and general grooming, and I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. I currently don’t have a pet of my own because my cat passed away two years ago, and I’m not quite ready to get another one yet. Taking care of other people’s pets, however, gives me a chance to spend time with animals and bring some of that joy back into my life. I would love to take care of your pet and treat them with the same patience, love, and attention I would give my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! 🐾 At the moment, I’m not working, so I can dedicate a lot of time to your pet. I’m available at morning and days shift . When I was studying, I volunteered at a veterinary clinic and know how to care for elderly and sick animals. I also know how to train dogs, as I trained my dad’s dog. I know everything about cats because I had a cat for 13 years.
“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!”
“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’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.
“Kenneth is so good with all three of our girls. We feel very fortunate to have found a consistent sitter for them who they are comfortable with and happy to see at each visit. 5 stars all around!”
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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sunnyvale
Anahita was wonderful with our cat! She was caring, attentive, and incredibly kind. It gave us such peace of mind during our trip knowing that our cat was in such good hands and getting so much love and attention. We would absolutely love to have her take care of Ms. Moushi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter!
Xia is every pet owner's dream. I'm very lucky to have found a petsitter that is so kind, attentive and actually cares to learn the little routine and habits that make our pets unique and special to us. She even let me know what TV show she turned on for Bubba because I told her I always keep the TV on for him! I felt so much relief traveling this time around knowing Xia was taking care of my precious cat. She will be my go-to pet sitter for sure.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of my cat! 🥹 You went above and beyond what I expected. I really appreciate that you not only took care of his litter and food, but also cleaned his pots and kept things around the house tidy even though I didn’t ask you to. And thank you for opening the door to let some fresh air in! It was so sweet to see how happy and relaxed Rince looked. He looked like he had such a great time with you and was really comfortable. 🥰 I truly appreciate all the extra care and attention you gave him. Thank you again for taking such good care of my boy! ❤️
Colin did a fantastic job with our kittens. She cared for them very well and played with them a lot. Kittens were not stressed out when we came back which is a great sign. We loved the updates and photos she provided. We would definitely request her for future.
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!
This is our third time booking with Ching-Yuan, he was prompt with accepting our request even though it was last minute and took care of our two cats and provided them love & attention while we were on vacation. Highly recommend Ching-Yuan for his reliability and clear communication while we were away to provide us peace of mind that our fur babies are being taken care of.
As good as usual! Always like Mireya’s story. It’s been part of my trip every time waiting for her notes. Recently my house has ant problem. Mireya was also very nice rinsing the cat food bowl. Before she left the house, my cat was trying to poop on the bed. Thanks god Mireya stopped my cat from doing that. Can’t thank her more!
Caroline was great! She came every day as scheduled, gave the one cat his 2 medicines, and spoiled both my kitties with treats and playtime. They were happy and healthy when I got home from my trip. Even the plants looked better than when I left them. I'll call on Caroline again!
Judith was amazing! What stood about her compared to other sitters is she asked for a meet and greet. That’s something I would do when I was on Rover! It showed that she truly does care about my kitty and providing the best service. She gave me detailed updates with lots of cute pictures which made me feel calm. My cat was laying on her, headbutting her shoe, playing with her, and apparently greeting her too! Haha. She’s going to be my go to when I travel again. I don’t know why you wouldn’t book with Judith!
Stephanie is so great with our cats! One of them is really shy and usually hides under the bed, but Stephanie is so patient with her and always makes sure to leave her a little treat. She really goes above and beyond, and I always feel good knowing our cats are in her care. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sunnyvale on Rover is $32.19 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 3,946 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

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.
