“Dawn is a dream come true when it comes to doggy daycare! My 13 year old mostly blind chihuahua had his very first daycare ever with someone other than family and I can tell you she cuddled him and cared for him like I would have if he was at home. I didn’t think anyone would know his needs but she did! I can’t say enough wonderful things about her but she is a true animal lover and I will bring him back!”
“Ethan and Gina were AMAZING, and their dog Astro is such a sweetie. They invited Marty over prior to the booking for a thorough and informative Meet and Greet, where they were more than happy to answer all of our questions (and Marty got to run around in their large fenced yard with Astro!). On the day of, Marty was very nervous going to daycare for the first time, but Ethan and Gina gave him special care and attention to help settle in. They sent pictures, videos, and text updates throughout the day so I knew Marty was comfortable, happy, and having a blast! When it was time to pick Marty up, he didn’t want to say goodbye. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Ethan and Gina due to their kindness, professionalism, and loving care for Marty. We will definitely be back. Thank you!”
“Natasha is wonderful! I’ve taken my 7 month old Boston Terrier to daycare twice and plan to take her there every week. Each time I’ve dropped Nora off Natasha will introduce Nora to each dog to make sure they get along. Each dog I’ve met there has a very sweet temperament and it’s obvious Natasha only takes it well tempered dogs. She’s very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Natasha sends multiple photos a day with updates. She has a beautiful home and I’d trust her to take Nora any day!”
“Lu took such good care of my pup Kelly! She responded promptly to messages and service request. And she kept me updated with lots of cute videos and photos! Kelly was a bit nervous at the beginning but settled really quickly and definitely had a good time with Lu.”
“Thank you so much Florence and Wen for taking such great care of Sunny and Prince! We were nervous for their first ever time in daycare, but you both did a fantastic job taking care of them and reassuring us with plenty of adorable photos! We especially appreciated their ability to roam freely in the fenced in backyard, and the several walks you took them on! We will not hesitate to book you again!”
“My energetic puppy had a great time with their two little dogs. When we chatted at pick up time, I could tell a lot of care and consideration went into watching over my little pup. They followed my "puppy handbook" to a T!”
“Thank you so much, Ru, for taking such great care of Mochi! She had an amazing time and it’s clear she received so much love and attention while staying with you. I truly appreciate it—you made me feel completely at ease leaving Mochi in your care. I would absolutely trust you with her again in the future!”
“Diana is wonderful! My pup LOVES going to her house! Also, Diana swooped in and saved me when I was pressed to find a dog sitter last minute! We’ve already come back to Diana’s place but will continue to do so!”
“Great service from Michael! Potter had a good time with Chloe and some other pet friends! Michael took well take care of him today and took him for a walk. Michael made sure he had a good time and that he had some fun with his friends. I will definitely use his services again ☺️😉😁”
“Ahiram and her husband are amazing daycare sitters. They were very attentive and incredible with updates and responsiveness. Love the patience with our two kraken monsters (our dogs lol)”
“We used Ana and Mark for a month, while our kitchen got remodeled. The were awesome: always trying to make the experience work for us and for our dog. They deeply care about dogs, are incredibly good natured and were clearly very kind, warm and caring with our dog.”
“Kenny took wonderful care of my dog Remi! He was reliable, kept me updated with photos, and Remi was clearly well-cared for and happy. I highly recommend Kenny anyone needing a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!”
“My dog Sheera stayed with Dakshina and Rahul for a day. I got lots of photos and video updates. They took good care of Sheera. When I reached to pick him he was very comfortable with them and was playing with them. I would highly recommend them and would board Sheera with them again.”
“Grace was exceptional in her care of our senior dog Chickee. Chickee loves being outside, so Grace allowed ample patio time including taking Chickee for a walk in the neighborhood. Chickee's daily routine involves some eye meds. Grace followed the instructions perfectly to keep the meds. on schedule. Grace also kept a watchful eye on Chickee when other dogs were near (due to her small size). Grace was also flexible with my schedule by allowing a 1/2 hr. window for drop off and pick-up. I would absolutely recommend Grace's pet services to other owners. -Lisa P.”

John’s place was excellent for Milo! Thanks so much. Milo enjoyed spending time with John and Dumbo and playing with toys. Songkun was able to accommodate a late schedule change request which really helped me. Milo will be happy to be at SongKun next time again!
This was our first time using a dog sitter and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Dawn! It’s clear that she genuinely loves dogs and would treat each one like her own. I was nervous about leaving Bustelo with a stranger but she gave us lots of detailed updates with photos and videos throughout the day, which I so appreciated. Bustelo and her dog Manny played so well together, he came home tired but happy. Can’t wait to book her again!
Thank you so much for having Milo over, especially with it being his first time. Priya took the time to know Milo before his daycare visit and also updated me throughout the day. I’m so glad to have connected with Priya, Milo was in good hands! Her experience with dogs definitely shows.
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! 🐾
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!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sunnyvale on Rover is $62.16 per day (as of September 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.
