“Yunxi was friendly and communicative. She sent photos and asked questions to make my very Senior dog Odessa comfortable. Her back yard was perfect and safe for Odessa to roam around.”
“Galina and Aleksei were so sweet to my very moody and temperamental dog!! It was our first time boarding her and Galina and Aleksei took lots of photos and videos and updated us throughout the entire stay. They took her on lots of walks and even to the beach and park. Thank you so so much for taking such good care of Chili!”
“Kenny is the absolute BEST. He took amazing care of our Pyrenees puppy - and sent us many pictures and videos throughout the day - so we felt totally reassured and confident in all the fun she was having and the care and affection she was getting. It was 10-star experience for Lumi and for us from beginning to end. Lumi has epilepsy - and so has a strict medication protocol that must be followed to prevent seizures; Kenny made doubly sure to confirm the exact protocol with us and then follow it to the letter - sending us pictures after completion so we wouldn’t worry. We couldn’t possibly have asked for more care and thoughtfulness. Lumi got multiple long walks and trips to the park, and play time with a sweet co-boarder pup - and generally had the best time! We will for sure be sending her to Kenny again!”
“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!”
“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”
“Ann is a great pet sitter! She always sends updates and is very responsive to messages. My fur baby always has a good time at Ann’s. I love that Canela gets the opportunity to socialize with the other dogs and have playmates during her boarding.”
“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.”
“Shavonne was great taking care of my sweet dog!! She's a great communicator and sent lots of photos. My dog enjoyed her stay and was well cared for, leaving my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Shavonne for your fur babies!!”
“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.”
“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: 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.
“Theo looked happy and calm in her daily updates. Joyce & her husband & daughters made Theo very welcome. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We will definitely use Joyce again.”
“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
“Audrina was a great catsitter for Muffin! She was highly communicative, flexible, administered daily medications, and provided detailed daily updates. I would definitely feel comfortable bringing Muffin back to Audrina's!!”
“Anlin provided excellent care for Maurice. They are attentive and reassuring as Maurice settled into his new surroundings. Maurice warmed up to them quickly, which says a lot about how comfortable and safe Anlin made him feel.”
“Great sitter, very communicative and reliable! We got many cute photos of our dog. Taylor was also flexible, I initially made a wrong booking and we were able to fix it - I appreciate it. Highly recommended!”
“Sofia is the best rover sitter we have had so far. She trained our doggies how to shake! We received daily updates and cute videos from her, as well as fresh chicken eggs from her! Will definitely recommend her and send my dogs in future.”

James was wonderful! We are so thankful he took good care of our German Shepherd/ Huskie mix. We really appreciate the pre- stay visit, flexibility with the pick up time and honest and entertaining communication during our vacation. Thank you, James, for taking great care of our baby Tahoe!
Iryna was amazing! She accepted a last-minute booking to watch my pup and was so great at communication! She was also extremely accommodating when my flight was delayed on the way home. My pup was so happy when I got home and I could tell that she was really well taken care of. Would definitely book with her again!
Dawn took amazing care of our dog! She sent great photos, videos, and recaps every day. Our dog actually developed an ear infection the day after we dropped him off, and she went above and beyond in coordinating with me to get him to the vet to get him taken care of. I wish I could give her 6 stars!
Hongtao and his family took excellent care of our dog. They were so loving and observant of her needs and very communicative. They left us many pics, videos and a complete description of how she was doing. Our pooch is easy to love but they really went above and beyond!!! I sincerely hope he is available if we should ever need a sitter again. Highly recommend!!!
Wing and Chris were incredible with our dogs, Tang Tang and Dou Dou. They are both exceptionally responsive and proactive. When our dog developed an infection in her paw, they took her to the vet immediately and provided extra care and monitoring for the rest of her stay. We truly appreciate their dedication and would love to book with them again in the near future!
Ann was a fantastic host for our dog, Jeera. She was very attentive and communicative throughout the boarding period, ensuring that Jeera was comfortable and that we felt secure about her situation. She sent many photos each day and inquired about any behavior she noticed that we may want to know about. We would definitely leave Jeera with her again! Lastly, Ann was very flexible with pick up and drop off time, making it convenient on our end.
Sesame has stayed with Galina and Aleksei multiple times and she absolutely loves being with them. They have become our go-to sitter for when we’re away on long trips. Sesame gets so much attention and adventures when she’s with them and we get peace of mind knowing that she’s well cared for. I especially appreciate the daily picture updates and communication/flexibility around pickups and drop offs. Thanks again, Galina and Aleksei for taking such good care of Sesame!
We are very happy we found Dale. He was so calm and patient with our dog, Maui, giving him the time and space he needed to get comfortable. Dale sent regular updates and it was clear he understood our dog perfectly. He made Maui feel at ease and even enjoy trips to the park, despite his usual anxiety in new places. We would definitely leave Maui with Dale again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
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 July 2026, there are 4,109 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.
