“I’m so happy that Dawn has the patience for my senior dog. Stan has now visited Dawn three times and he is getting more comfortable every time. Dawn has gone above and beyond to ensure Stan’s is welcome in her home.”
“Ahiram took very good care of my dog & sent updates & photos. I was nervous at first because this is my first time leaving him with someone else but the updates kept me at peace. He was in very good spirits when I picked him up. Left my dog in great paws. 🐾”
“Ru did a wonderful job watching Augie! Ru was communicative, asked appropriate questions, and sent plenty of fun photos of Augie. Augie had so much fun with her new friend Kero, too! Would definitely book Ru again for daycare!”
“Recently moved, and our dog unexpectedly showed severe separation anxiety. The first person we worked with was unable to keep Gunner calm, but Rodrigo was a dog whisperer, helping him calm and acclimate to the area. Which helped calm and let me acclimate. Absolutely would recommend, absolutely will use again.”
“Courtney took such great care of Otto! She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day and even gave him a bath for me! He came come squeaky clean, happy, and tired.”
“Fariba is super responsive, flexible, and such a sweet heart! I can tell she has deep understanding and love for dogs. She took time out of her day to do a meet and greet before booking; my pup instantly liked her. When I picked up my pup, I could tell she had a day filled with lots of fun and love(she was tired which is great!). I love how engaged she is with every dog and will definitely be booking my pup with her in the future!”
“We love Diane! She took great care of Tippy, and as always I felt assured Tippy was in good hands with her. Really appreciated her flexibility in accommodating our change of plans that caused us to come home early.”
“Jennifer was great at communicating and our dog, Meeko, seemed to have a great time spending the day with her. Meeko has separation distress and is generally anxious especially in new environments. Jessica took him for walks, several potty breaks, to the local park and even to a restaurant! He seemed calm and not stressed when we picked him up. We liked that he was exposed to new environments at his pace and that we received updates throughout the day.”
“Ana was very caring to our little dog. She’s very thorough and amazing. So lucky to have her take care of Inday. She sends us pictures and videos to keep us updated. Very much recommended!”
“I am so grateful to have found Soyoung through Rover! My 8-month old puppy, Archie, had a great time with her at doggy day care while I was in town for work. He had fun playing, going for walks, and zooming up and down her stairs. I loved getting his daily report cards, and he was absolutely exhausted and calm by the time we got back to the hotel in the evenings. I'm thrilled that I can take him with me for work travel because we now have a trusted sitter to rely on. I'm looking forward to future trips to the SCV area so we can book with Soyoung again.”
“Grace was SO caring for my puppy and sent me pictures constantly throughout the day. She brushed his hair and taught him some commands, and went above and beyond what was expected for his daycare. I will not hesitate to leave my puppy with Grace in the future. Thank you so much Grace!”

Maria Z. was a great petsitter for my medium sized dog. Loving, kind, attentive. The yard was lovely for my dog who equally likes to run & also relax & cuddle. There was a last minute pet addition to the crew & it was no problem as Maria was very communicative about tge change. I also received picture & video updates. Recommend this pet sitter.
Sabrina has been a wonderful sitter for our dog Willow and we would recommend her to anyone. She is punctual for drop off and pickup but flexible when needed. She is willing to go on long walks and is able to feed Willow which always results in very happy dog. She is perceptive and allows the day to go at Willow’s pace. Sabrina is also such a friendly and thoughtful person and we know Willow is in great hands with her every day!
I left my Maltese, Kumo, with Fariba for day care on 08/08/2026, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was watching several dogs that day, but that didn't stop her from giving Kumo individual love and attention. He had an absolute blast playing with his new furry friends-he came home exhausted and happy! What really stood out was the constant communication. Fariba sent me multiple videos throughout the day-one of Kumo running around with the other dogs, and another of him happily eating the chicken and rice she prepared for him. You can tell she genuinely treats every pup like royalty. Seeing those clips put my mind completely at ease; I could tell Kumo was in safe, caring hands. Thank you, Fariba, for taking such wonderful care of my little prince. We'll definitely be booking again! 🐾
Nisha was amazing!!! She took care of our puppy Bellini during the day while my wife and I went to a concert. She provided pictures and videos frequently. Bellini loved her backyard and playing with her kids. The whole family was so welcoming and excited to have Bellini. Nisha and her family were amazing and took great care of Bellini! Thank you!!!
This was my first time using Rover and they made it such a wonderful experience. My dog is nervous, but instantly seemed comfortable with Chinhua! Plus the updates were the best to see how she was doing and settling in. 10/10 experience, would highly recommend and will book with them again!
Christina is a gem! And comes off immediately as intelligent, warm, kind, and fun. We are so happy to have found her on Rover. We booked last minute and she was flexible around her own plans, and came over to get instructions on how to get into our building and pick up our 9mo old husky, Yermo. She brought her pup to meet him, and then took them both to the beach! Christina was easygoing yet very communicative and gave us updates the whole time. She left a photo of Yermo once she dropped him off, even though she knew I was at a work event and wouldn't be able to respond. We're excited to have her in our network!
Karen, Will and Cookie were the best daycare hosts my puppy Sadie and I could have asked for during a visit to SF. They were so sweet and welcoming and took incredible care of Sadie. It was such a relief to find them on short notice - I had full trust in them and knew Sadie was enjoying her time there. I highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for loving care of their dog and I will definitely use them again on our next visit. Thank you!
Buddy seems to have loved his time spent with Amber and her family (with adorable poodles) the last two days. She trusted buddy laying next to her baby girl and pictures were super adorable. Her home and community is perfect place for dogs and will definitely have buddy spend time there again!
Anahita took good care of Peanut and made him comfortable and safe even though this was the first time she took care of him for doggy daycare. The appointment eventually ran much shorter than expected as our plans had changed but Anahita was able to adjust her time and schedule appropriately. Would definitely have Peanut stay with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sunnyvale on Rover is $62.16 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 3,348 sitters in Sunnyvale, 88% 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.
