“Yan is so professional, kind, and wonderful with our puppy! She took such great care of Sharkie and made sure he had so much fun. She took him outside to watch people play basketball and watch some geese, which he absolutely loved! It was so sweet seeing all the fun things they got to do together. Yan clearly cares about the dogs she looks after and treated Sharkie like her own. We felt completely comfortable leaving him with her and would definitely book with Yan again!🥰Thank you Yan!”

“I’m very glad I chose Ghazal to look after my dog Grace during my trip away. Ghazal provided multiple cute pictures everyday of Grace, updates of her activities, and was an excellent communicator throughout the week. She went above and beyond. Highly recommended and would schedule her services again.”
“Eunice and Sean were great dog sitters for Astor! They played with Astor, cuddled with her and made sure all her daily needs were met. They also made sure to give us frequent updates on how Astor was doing throughout the whole stay. Furthermore, we had to push our pick up time really late because our return flight got significantly delayed, and they were happy to accommodate.”
“Elena was great! She was super communicative. Sent regular check in photos and periodically let me know how Kira was doing. It was clear she took the time to read the care instructions on our profile. Kira came home super exhausted from all the fun she had :) would definitely recommend Elena as a dogsitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunnyvale
Jennifer took great care of Sierra. Her communication was excellent with a meet and greet before watching her and then staying in touch for drop off and pickup coordination. Sierra seemed well cared for with walks, love and a caring environment. We’d be happy to have Sierra with Jennifer again.
Nichole was absolutely wonderful in taking care of my 14 year old Labradoodle Yankee and regularly kept me updated on how he was doing. Nichole also sent me pictures and occasional videos as well. Yankee seemed to be very happy staying with Nichole and I couldn’t be happier with having Yankee stay with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Yankee with Nichole again and feel confident recommending her to my friends and family.
Chloe had a great stay and was very happy and well cared for! Shudan followed all of my instructions and was super communicative throughout the stay, sending me lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. Chloe also got to socialize and play with the other dogs in her care, which was great. Chloe can have some resource guarding tendencies around other dogs, and she did a great job supervising and managing their interactions. Overall, I had a really positive experience and felt very comfortable leaving Chloe with her. Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!
Fudge had a wonderful stay with Alice! We received updates along with photos and videos throughout the day. Fudge is nervous in new settings and Alice went above and beyond to get him comfortable and make sure he had a great time. She paid really good attention and took great care of him and all his needs. We had a very good experience and will be sending Fudge back here again!
Elena was great, she helped me out last minute and was very accommodating. So glad I found a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter since I moved here! She listened with great care and took a lot of details in when I was explaining my dogs behavior and how he likes to be cared for. She listened very well and was great at updates. Thanks!
It's been over 25 years since I last had to hire a pet-sitter. My SO had been my go-to, but he had a massive stroke and couldn't (he's in a nursing home now...sniff), so I had to scramble to find someone. Through a friend of a friend, I found Rover and Reina. HUZZAH!!! My dog, Grace, and her dog, Zoe, hit it off right away. They couldn't WAIT to start playing with each other! Grace spent the week playing, getting doted over, getting walks and spa treatments, and just plain getting pampered. Heck, there were times when it felt like SHE was having a better time than *I* was! The next time I need a sitter, I'm DEFINITELY calling Reina. Knowing that my dog had a terrific time when I was gone made me VERY happy.
Amber was absolutely amazing with Lily! She kept us updated throughout our entire trip with lots of pictures, videos, and messages, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly responsive and always got back to us very quickly. We honestly felt like Lily was on her own little vacation because of how well Amber took care of her! 🐾❤️ Lily looked so happy, comfortable, and loved in every update. We are so grateful to Amber for taking such wonderful care of our girl and would absolutely trust her with Lily again. Highly recommend!
Zoey had a great stay with Tanya and Sameer! We got a ton of updates including pictures and videos. And Zoey actually went on walks with them which no other Rover has been able to get her to do. We were completely relaxed and worry free during our vacation. We will definitely have her stay again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sunnyvale on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,164 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.
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.
