“Yunxi was incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating when I dropped Beni off for boarding. She sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay, which I greatly appreciated. Her adorable fur baby, Chako, also got along wonderfully with Beni, which made the experience even better. I would highly recommend Yunxi to anyone in need of a dog sitter in the area.”
About: Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.
“Cici had a wonderful time staying with Aleksei and Galina. They provided us with photos and videos, which was fantastic. They also took her on walks that she thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Joyce once again took amazing care of my pups, keeping me updated with regular photos and messages. This was my girls’ third stay with her and her family, and we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“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 :)”
“They are so great with Kenai by showing her the same love we would and making her feel right at home. Kenai has been with them twice now and our dogs get along wonderfully. I would keep choosing them as long as they are available!”
“Sangeeta gave me lots of updates and pics of my dog. She has a lovely front and backyard for the dogs to run around. She's very attentive and communicated with me about my dog during the 2 nights stay. She's very nice and laid back, would love to have my dog stay again.”
“SHAVONNE is wonderful. She did a great job keeping us posted with pictures and telling us how he was adjusting. She was timely whenever we met and she is a gracious loving person who loves dogs. We will be boarding with her to watch our Marley again.”
“TL; DR Li-Ting is a great sitter and I highly recommend her. Li-Ting has been taking care of our dog with love and attention to every details. Our dog is very sensitive to new environment and she doesn’t always get along with other dogs. However, from the daily updates from Li-Ting, I can see our dog is getting used to the environment and the companion with her body language. Thanks again for taking good care of our flurry daughter and we truly appreciate it.”
“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.”
“Taylor took such good care of our Kuma over the long weekend! We got lots of photos and updates of their adventures, and Kuma seemed super comfortable and happy the whole time. We'll definitely be reaching out to Taylor again for future boarding!”
“Karen was great with our small maltipoo. Karen is very knowledgeable and was very flexible about dropoff and pickup times. Karen's dog Astro got along very well with our small maltipoo.”
“Smitha was amazing with Roo! She can be a very anxious pup, so Smitha even scheduled a meetup time beforehand to get Roo introduced. This was our first time hiring a sitter that wasn’t a family member/friend, so even we were nervous, but she made Roo feel very comfortable. When we went to pick her up, she even gave Smitha a hug goodbye! I could tell she enjoyed her time there”
“Such an amazing experience. It was my first time leaving my dog over night without a family member. They took him out and played ball with him and fired him out! Definitely recommend and definitely will use again in the future. Thank you guys so much!!! ?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunnyvale
Dawn provides some of the most entertaining and thorough updates I've ever read... I always look forward to reading them when I'm away. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail puts my anxious mind at ease. I could tell that my dog was having so much fun playing with friends and visiting new places. At times I wondered if my dog was enjoying her vacation more than I was enjoying mine!
Rachel was exceptional in taking care of Zara. Her entire family, including her adorable son, showered Zara with love and attention. Rachel provided timely updates and sent pictures, which gave us immense peace of mind. We are so grateful for their care that we wouldn’t hesitate to consider getting them again for our little girl.
When we needed to find a last-minute dog watcher for over a week, Iryna gladly took our pup in and she had an amazing stay. Our dog Zola has separation anxiety but immediately was comfortable with Iryna - she didn’t even look back at us when we dropped her off! Iryna took amazing care of her and provided us with updates throughout her stay. When we had issues with our return flight, Iryna was flexible with our changing plans. We have never had such a good experience boarding Zola before. I think our pup misses her and her family now that we are back 😂 I could not recommend Iryna enough.
Xi is amazing! I was nervous boarding my dachshund puppy, Davie, (6 months old) because he had never spent overnight time away from me or my partner. But he adjusted so quickly to Xi and her family, it was a lovely and pleasant surprise for us! I think Davie learned a lot too, he seems more calm and less anxious than before. Xi left plenty of photo and video updates while we were on our trip. Thank you Xi!
Laura was kind enough to offer a Meet & Greet beforehand to let our girls see the space, and to access what she needed to move around to ensure the safest possible space for them. Laura is well experienced and the girls took to her right away. I was so nervous about Stella, our 1-year-old as she’s never been away from us for long periods of time, but Laura kept us updated the entire time! She also offered a pick-up and drop-off option which was great for us as it added helped check off 1 extra things from our to-do list. After the drop-off Laura gave us a full report and recommendations for Stella for future boarding.
Shudan was absolutely amazing with our dog, Zeus! From the moment we met her, we knew he’d be in great hands. She gave him tons of attention, kept up with his medication, and sent daily photos that showed just how happy and playful he was. Zeus made new friends, had a blast, and we felt totally at ease while we were away. When we picked him up, he was joyful and relaxed. We’d book with Shudan again in a heartbeat!
Kim was an amazing dog sitter, as always! She sent photos of Brady every day and consistently gave us updates throughout the entire stay. And when Brady was anxious from the July 4th fireworks, she made sure to let us know and ask us what we usually do with him. We completely trust Kim with our dog and he seems to always have a great time when he’s with her!
Alessandra and Alex were exceptional in taking care of our fur baby. During the 3 week stay, we had a peace of mind knowing and seeing updates of our pet being happy and well taken care of. Since this was our first time being away from our fur baby for such a long time, we had to be very meticulous in choosing the right sitters. Alessandra and Alex impressed us with their deep knowledge in dog care and animal loving nature. Our dog isn’t the easiest pet to warm up instantly to strangers but with them, she felt safe and happy just like how she would with us. They have set the bar so high that it would be difficult to find any pet sitter that’s better.
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!🤗🐶

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sunnyvale on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
93% 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.
