“Ethan and Gina were great for watching our dog, Copper! They sent us multiple pictures and videos of Copper throughout the day. It reassured me that Copper was in good hands. They were also able to help with an early drop off and for that we are grateful for! We will definitely be booking with Ethan and Gina again in the future!”
“Florence and Wen are caring, competent and professional. We are totally confident leaving Fiona in their care. Actually, Fiona took to Wen right after our initial meet and greet!! We loved getting updates and pics from Florence. So glad we found them!!!”
“Again, Ann was a great sitter for my two dogs! One of my dogs is more scared than the other, and she gave me helpful updates on how my oldie but easily scared dog was adjusting. It's peace of mind for me, since my dogs are part of the family :-)”
“This was my second booking, and once again it was a wonderful experience! Alfie had such a great time, and she even taught him a new trick—handshake! I always feel completely comfortable knowing he's in a safe, clean, and loving environment. I really appreciate the texts, photos, and videos throughout the day—they give me so much peace of mind. You can truly tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
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!
“Taylor was so sweet with our corgi! She’s very responsive in her communication which I personally appreciate. Our dog loved her stay with Taylor and we’ll happily book with her again!”
“Steven and Pei took good care of Aki with huge love. There are a lot of beautiful pictures, and those pictures are some of our favorites of Aki. I guess Aki wants to come back to see them; of course she loves their fur baby too!”
“Karen and her family were absolutely amazing! I think she must have the patience of a saint because my dog is a handful and he absolutely loved spending time with her and became fond of her very quickly, which is unlike him. Karen made me feel at ease with great communication and updates while Winston was in her care. I truly knew he was in great hands!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs over the last 13 years - from labradors to terriers and puppies to seniors. I would love to watch and care for your pup! I’m a product manager and Airbnb host. I currently work part time. My schedule is flexible and am happy to watch and care for pups as needed. I’m happy to follow the guidelines and rules provided. I usually make sure to watch, feed, and walk the pups as instructed and send photo updates throughout the day.
About: I grew up in a family filled with cats and dogs, and dogs have been a constant part of my life for as long as I can remember. Sharing my time with them has always brought me so much joy, and when it comes to my experience in pet care, it’s safe to say it spans my entire lifetime. However, as the years have gone by, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to bear the heartbreak of losing them, which has made it hard for me to adopt again. Interestingly, my son seems to have inherited my deep love for animals. So now, together, we’ll share the joy of caring for them. I work full-time from home in my studio, which gives me a flexible schedule that’s perfect for providing personalized care. Most of the time, they’ll hang out with me in my studio—maybe on my lap, or sometimes even on my keyboard. Haha, who knows? They always find a way to make my work so much more enjoyable. Walking the dog has also become my best excuse to get my 12-year-old son to join me for a stroll. Yes, a 12-year-old walking with his dad must have his reasons, right? Haha! Our home is a three-story townhouse with a private entrance. There are no gates, so in most cases the pups are free to move around and enjoy the space. Just a one-minute walk from the front door is a large green area, where they’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore and make new furry friends.
“Jennifer was very nice and took good care of Pixie. She was gentle and loving with our dog. Our dog is selective in nature, it was helpful that she had only two dogs at a time. She was very flexible with the pickup time. We had a meet and greet before so that we can get to know each other and make sure it’s a good fit with her and the other dog she was sitting. Pixie seemed happy in the photos she shared and came back happy after. Highly recommend!”
“Jade was wonderful with Fela and a dream sitter to work with! She communicated with me throughout each day and provided lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciate. He was walked, fed, and happy each time I picked him up. I’d love to have Fela stay with her again and highly recommend her to anyone who appreciates that extra-attentive care!”

Maria was amazing! We’re so grateful she was able to accommodate our last-minute booking and was incredibly flexible with our pickup time when our doctor's appointment ran longer than expected. She took great care of our pups, and the entire experience was stress-free. We would absolutely book with her again the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!
Leonardo did a great job taking care of Morita. She enjoyed a couple of walk and a lot of cuddling at his home. His schedule was very flexible and that worked perfect for us. We will definitely think of Leonardo next time we are in California to take care of Morita.
Shudan took great care of our pup and gave us peace of mind while we were at work. She was very communicative, sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, and it was clear that our pup was well cared for and happy. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend her to others!
We were very fortunate to have found Jingjing while spending time in the Bay Area from Oregon. We had a family function and needed daycare for the event and the day prior. Jingjing and her family took great care of Curry including at least one walk a day and ball throwing. Curry wasn’t anxious or stressed when we picked him up or dropped him off on the second day. We won’t hesitate to book with Jingjing if we’re visiting the area and need day care!
Tej was absolutely fantastic! She not only saved us by accepting a last minute booking, she also sent us updates on how Quinoa was doing, walked her 5 times and sent her home with a little treat, a gift and a sweet note. I would give her 6 stars if I could!
We have left Bingo with Irina several times after a meet & greet, and she has been absolutely wonderful every time. She is a caring, attentive, and highly responsive sitter who truly goes the extra mile. We always received regular photos and videos of our little one, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We are very happy with her service and feel completely confident leaving Bingo in her care. We will definitely continue to use her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.
Karen and her family were absolutely amazing! I think she must have the patience of a saint because my dog is a handful and he absolutely loved spending time with her and became fond of her very quickly, which is unlike him. Karen made me feel at ease with great communication and updates while Winston was in her care. I truly knew he was in great hands!
I booked daycare for my dog with Christina and it was an excellent experience. Prior to the actual daycare, she clearly explained to us how she would look after our dog and carefully listened to our dog's specific quirks and needs. On the day of daycare everything was very smooth and Christina sent us regular updates and pictures of our dog's day. I could not have asked for a better dog daycare experience.
Eunhee and Naveen were wonderfully flexible and understanding with our unique emergency situation. Their wonderful communication was so reassuring during a stressful time. Our male Chihuahua mix, who typically doesn't prefer men, warmed up to Naveen and apparently ended up cuddling with him and letting Naveen take him on a walk! Eunhee's communication during the visit and kind reassurance with the dogs at drop off was very welcome. We will definitely book again.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Sunnyvale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sunnyvale on Rover is $62.16 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Sunnyvale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,333 sitters in Sunnyvale, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
