“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
“Yunxi is great and took great care of my dog. Her house is in a very safe neighborhood with a park to walk my dog everyday. She ensured she took my dog out multiple times a day for walking and potty, and made sure he was well fed!”
“Maria and Fedor were absolutely great with Ollie while we were out of town. He can be a bit particular, but he settled in quickly and seemed right at home. They were easy to communicate with and kept us updated with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. This is the second time they've watched him, and we'll definitely keep booking with them because because they take such great care of him. Gracias, Maria and Fedor!”
“Michael was very easy going and it’s apparent that he loves caring for the dogs. ZuZu has a great stay at his place. He took walks every day with ZuZu and played with her. I’m confident that we will use his care again in the future.”
“Franklin had a great time with Karen and Willie (and Cookie)! They were super flexible and we got lots of photos and updates throughout his stay! Thanks for your help :)”
“Ethan and Gina made my dog, Lulu, very comfortable. Lulu has never come back from a stay so peaceful. They treated Lulu like a family member, gave her attention and took care of her like she was at home. They followed her dietary requirements and made sure Lulu ate daily. They kept an eye on her trachea collapse which was a big concern for me. They also provided me with daily updates and shared Lulu's photos which gave me peace of mind. Ethan has a huge closed backyard with a tall fence with no gaps and that was something Lulu loved and they kept track of her every time she ran around in the yard and they have a small gentle dog of their own that was good company for Lulu. I would definitely board Lulu with Ethan and Gina again.”
“Yasemin was a wonderful sitter! She and her family showered my pup with love and attention from the minute they met and during his entire stay. Very mindful of his care and she sent lots of photos/videos which made me feel very comfortable that my dog was well taken care of. I would gladly take my dog to Yasemin again, and know he would love to stay with her and her family again!🤗🐶”
“Shavonne went above and beyond watching my boy! I received many pictures of him throughout my trip to see he was being cuddled or having fun outside. Communication was great and I felt so at ease with him being there. Shavonne was so kind and I highly recommend her services!!!”
“Sarah took to Jennifer immediately. Jennifer would send daily updates for Sarah with photos and it is a great comfort to see Sarah all settled in. Jennifer has taken such good care of Sarah that I am confident that I will book her for dog sitting service again. Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Thank you Ann once again for taking care of Canela! I appreciated the daily update pictures. Love that Canela felt comfortable and that she got to interact and socialize with other dogs during her stays. Ann is a great sitter! I highly recommend Ann to anyone who is looking for a sitter that offers boarding.”
“Frida stayed with Joyce and her family for the second time and everything went really well! They truly love pets and take care as if she is part of the family. I have so much piece of mind to send Drida to them every time I need to be out, Thanks for being so nice and careful with her!”
“Our old puggle spent about a week with Taylor when we were traveling over the holidays. Taylor took absolutely fantastic care of her over that time. She went above and beyond what was expected. We could not have been happier with our experience, and will definitely come back to Taylor next time we travel. Thanks again, Taylor!!”
“We had such an amazing experience with Audrina watching our dog, Brody! We were updated everyday with pictures and information about his day and all the fun activities he did. He was a very happy boy and we will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up in a family that has always cared deeply about animals. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve helped take care of our family dogs by feeding them, playing with them, taking them outside, and making sure they were happy and comfortable. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making them feel safe and loved. Even now, I often help friends and family with their dogs whenever they need an extra hand, whether that means watching them, taking them on walks, or just giving them attention and company. I understand that every dog is different, and I always try to be patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. My goal is to make every dog feel like they’re spending time with a friend, not just a sitter❤️🐶 I have full availability and a very flexible schedule, so I’m usually able to accommodate most times and days without any issues. I can adjust easily depending on what works best for you and your pet, and I’m happy to help whenever I’m needed. My goal is to be reliable and easy to work with, so you can feel confident that your dog will be taken care of even on short notice or changing schedules. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. I live on the first floor, which makes it very easy and safe for dogs to go in and out, and I also have direct access to a backyard and nearby parks for walks, playtime, and fresh air. The home is spacious and pet-friendly, giving dogs plenty of room to relax and move around comfortably. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and stress-free so every dog feels at home. There’s always space to rest, play, and feel secure, and I’m able to give them the attention they need throughout the day. My goal is to create a safe, relaxed, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for at all times.🙋🏻♀️✨
“Wow! We felt so secure having Daniel dog-sit for us. He sent us regular updates with photos and took her on really nice long walks. Would definitely recommend. We will definitely be seeking his services again in the future.”
“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
About: I've had dogs for nearly 20 years and know every dog has their own personality and routine. I work from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day, daily walks, and plenty of attention. I only board one household at a time because I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home, not a house full of unfamiliar dogs. My dog, Henry, is friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having company, but he's also pretty laid back. I've cared for senior dogs, including one with megaesophagus and myasthenia gravis, so I'm comfortable giving oral and liquid medications and following special feeding schedules. Before every first stay, I'd love to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. During your dog's stay, I'll send plenty of photo and video updates so you know they're doing well. I work from home full time, so your dog will have company throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. We usually start the day with a morning walk, followed by another walk in the afternoon and a shorter walk before bed, plus potty breaks as needed. Henry and I visit nearby parks every day, and if your dog enjoys dog parks too, I'm happy to include those with your permission. If not, we'll stick to neighborhood walks and on-leash park visits. On hot days, I'll adjust our schedule and walk during the cooler parts of the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I only board one household at a time, I can give each dog plenty of attention and keep a close eye on how they're settling in. Dogs are never left outside unattended, and all walks and park visits are on leash unless we're in a designated enclosed area and you approve. My dog, Henry, is friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having company, but he's also happy to relax and do his own thing. I also have a cat who mostly keeps to herself and usually prefers to stay out of the action. I'm happy to follow your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, furniture rules, and any other instructions that help them feel at home. If your dog is crate trained, I'm happy to use your crate if you bring one.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need extra attention and gentle care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing medication when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m attentive to details, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or extra cuddles, I focus on giving each pet personalized care based on their needs. If your dog has energy to burn or a place to rest, my home and care is the place to be. I have fully open availability. I am constantly hanging out with our 20 lb poodle. She loves the company of other dogs. We just lost our other 18 year old poodle due to old age in March of 2026. We love walks, park, and relaxing. Or a nice car ride through Sunnyvale! I have a small fenced yard with 1 poodle to keep your dog company. My neighborhood we walk a few times through the day. Dogs welcomed in the home and furniture. I have extra beds, toys, bowls, treats, and leashes. We just want the space to feel like home for all the fur babies!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Sunnyvale is $75

Ketaki has been wonderful with our 90lb Pitbull pup! He’s always very responsive, provides updates, takes good care of him, and gives us peace of mind knowing he’s in a safe, comfortable environment. We’ve already rebooked with Ketaki and will definitely continue to do so!
Jennifer was very responsive to our request for boarding our dog and very accommodating in first setting up a meet and greet at a local park. It was also wonderful that she took the time to send a photo of our dog “ chillin’ “ and quite content. It was a very good experience.
Adrian was absolutely amazing! He is an excellent communicator and provided lots of updates to how my boy was doing. He treated my pup like family, took him on lots of walks and gave him plenty of love! Exactly the kind of person I would trust to watch my dog again in the future! Thank you, Adrian!! 10 gold stars!
Eunice and Sean took such great care of Evie! She came back very happy and healthy. She is a very shy and anxious dog, but they were quite understanding and gentle with her. She warmed up right away. We appreciated the quick responses and updates throughout the stay. Thanks!
Theresa has watched my miniature dachshund, Millie, several times. She is always super accommodating and flexible with pickup and drop off times. She sends updates and photos of Millie’s stay. I am always sure Millie is in great hands when staying with Theresa and family! Would recommend!
As usual James is the best person to take care of Cookie when we are away. He really loves and cares for all the dogs that are under his care. Cookie is always happy and well looked after when she is with him. We leave her at time for more than 2 weeks when we are away on international trips and she is good with James. We highly recommend James as a home for your fur babies when you travel.
Yasemin was amazing with our dog Polly. We had a last minute emergency and needed someone to take care of Polly for a few days. She was super accommodating and loving with Polly as if she was her own brought a lot of comfort through a difficult time. Will definitely bring her back her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sunnyvale on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,123 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sunnyvale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Sunnyvale sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Sunnyvale landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sunnyvale home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sunnyvale.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sunnyvale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
